0:00Obviously, I am ecstatic that training camp is here. I am so excited that we actually have some relevant news to talk
0:07through. I just wish wish it wasn't injury stuff right now. We will go through some of the news of the day that
0:14is not injury related. Kind of is good depending on the way that you spin it.
0:19Honestly, a lot of it's just straight pop pieces. But we can just go bullet point by bullet point here. Then we'll
0:24get to this draft. So, Toutin took the majority of the first team reps with Chris Rodriguez sidelined. The quote we got was Toutton was frankly the most
0:33impressive offensive player of the entire day considering the sputtering moments the unit had. Right. Malik Neighbors viewed as a realistic expectation to play in week one and what
0:44we actually saw today. We'll see if underdogs account has it. We saw this video from Malik Neighbors. This is like the best news that we have seen in quite
0:52some time. U neighbors out there running. Like this wasn't the only video that we had. Neighbors looked at points like he was going full speed. And yeah,
1:01Malik Neighbors looked really good today. And I'm actually going to go through and move Malik Neighbors up my rankings based on these videos. And I
1:08know that's silly, right? But I want to remind y'all before training camp started. A big thing that we were discussing with the training camp impact
1:18to my rankings wasn't, oh, this guy made a highlight grab and we saw the video on Twitter, or oh, this guy went out there
1:25and he dropped the ball like Marvin Harrison, move him down the ranks. No, no, no. But running back usage is something that I want to monitor as well
1:34as these injury updates. So, for us to get this right away to see Malik Neighbors going at damn near full speed,
1:44I think that this is relevant. I think this allows me to move him up my ranks, but we'll do that in a second. Let's go
1:51through and let's like um again, quotes like this, I think they're meaningless.
1:55Jets fans may get excited about it. I'm never going to impact my rankings. By Garrett Wilson saying, "I have a feeling
2:01it's going to be a special year. It feels different this year." It does, buddy. You're on the Jets. It's going to
2:07be the same. Um, again, I'm not going to react my rankings to seeing a player catch a ball like um Michael Wilson and
2:14seeing Marvin Harrison go through and drop the ball, right? That's not going to be impacting my ranks. But here, this is relevant. Chris Brazzle is expected
2:24to miss eight weeks after suffering a moderate LCL tear in his left knee.
2:30Y'all don't know Chris Brazzle. Oh my gosh. Neighbors goes in the second round of this draft. So, um, yes, we should be
2:36updating our ranks. We see neighbors go over to Von Achan here. If y'all don't know, Chris Brazzle was drafted on day
2:42two of the NFL draft this year. And him missing does make it more enticing to draft Jaylen Coker in my mind. Now, keep
2:50in mind, Tedo McMillan's one of my most drafted players. I haven't taken much Jaylen Coker at all in these drafts. So,
2:57you would want I mean, you would think I would be biased and I would come out here and I'd say like, "Oh, wheels up
3:02for Ted McMillan." McMillan was going to see a crazy target share no matter what.
3:06He was the Alpha X wide receiver. So I think when the wide receiver depth pieces get injured, it is going to
3:12matter a little bit more again for those secondary wide receivers such as Jaylen Coker. So I think Coker's a little more
3:18enticing. Not one of the bigger injury updates that we have today. Um we have the Saints defensive tackle going down with what appears to be a torn ACL. Um
3:28again, I'm not impacting my fantasy rankings because of that. Um but here Ricky Pierol is not practicing on Wednesday because of knee swelling
3:37related to a PCL injury suffered last year. All options are being explored and there is some concern.
3:45This is devastating for Ricky Pierol because I know we put out the video a while ago saying like oh you can't draft
3:52Ricky Pier or he's one of my least drafted wide receivers for reasons X Y and Z. And one of those reasons was just
3:58given the injury history that we have with him. A lot of people came through, they mocked me, and they just said, "Oh,
4:03Mason, he got shot." I mean, how are you gonna say he has an extensive injury history just because he got shot? That's
4:10not the thing with Ricky Pier. Like, obviously, Pier Saul missed the beginning of his rookie season due to him getting shot, not his fault, right?
4:18And we can't say because he got shot early in his year a career, he's more likely to miss games. But what we can do
4:24is we can just go through and timeline this. So, in his rookie year, he missed the first six weeks. again recovering
4:30from getting shot. Absolute beast. Then the man gets injured. He misses weeks 11, 12, 13. 2025 he gets injured. Misses weeks 5 through 10. Misses a couple
4:41weeks at the end of the season as well.
4:44So Ricky Pierol already popping up with knee problems in the knee that he had the PCL injury in last season. If y'all
4:54check my rankings on the site today, I did go through and I moved Ricky Pieraw down. Um, Cam Scataboo is good to go in
5:00training camp. That's great. Like I said, the Malik Neighbor stuff is incredible. You see him going round two here. I'm going to go through and update
5:06him in my rankings. Okay, this is something also that I'm not going to be overly concerned with. Cardinals don't plan to overload Jeremiah Smith as a
5:14rookie. They're looking for the right rotation between Love, Connor, and Alier. Again, my take is when we're in July, all these teams are going to be
5:22talking down their rookies. They're always going to say, "Oh yeah, the rookie needs to earn it. It's the veteran's job. We're leaning on the
5:29veterans. That's what you do. That's what the NFL does. You I mean, hell, the Raiders are pretending that Fernando Mendoza isn't going to start this year
5:38and it's going to be Kurt Cousins all season. So, I'm not impacting my running back rankings with this Jeremiah Love quote. Um Lamar Jackson, I don't care
5:47about this. Um the tackles for the Chargers both have been cleared. We talked about those offensive tackle grades previously. Um, Deshun Watson
5:56should splitting first team reps. That doesn't matter. And let's see if we have anything else worth mentioning.
6:04Um, I don't think so. The actually one thing that there are a couple things that are worth mentioning here. Travis Hunter
6:13played eight defensive snaps, four offensive snaps with day one training camp. So, it looks like Travis Hunter, primarily plan A, is going to be playing
6:21on defense, but should be playing both sides of the ball, which will be expectations. I'm not going to care about this Kamar ETN splitting first
6:28team reps. Again, I think that's going to be meaningless. Um, but where is the Jordan James stuff? who I mean I don't
6:36care too too much about the Michael Penn and Tua but let me pull up the exact quote that we have with Jordan James because
6:47for me that also was another impact that we have with Okay, so Jaylen Waddle has a higher ADP than Scat, but we don't
6:55have a running back yet. Scat's going to go for camp. I'm going to go ahead and take him. But Jordan James I believe is
7:01a broken rib. Could be mistaken. Let me pull up what the exact report is. And this gonna make Kaylin Black look a lot
7:07more exciting to be the second running back for the Ners. Yep. So, Jordan James has
7:16fractured ribs. Um, again, people are speculating that it happened in this video with this practice rep.
7:26Um, I don't exactly care how it happened, but the fact that he fractured his rib is going to open up the door for
7:32the running back two spot to be more available for Kaylin Black to win that.
7:37Um, I don't know if something came out with Jaylen Wadd today. Again, Waddle was the highest ranked player according to ADP when I took DeAndre Swift at 46,
7:44but we'll go ahead and I'll take Waddle at 51 at this point. Um, he is my highest ranked player now. So, I'll grab
7:50Jaylen Waddle as our wide receiver three, but let me know if something happened with Wadd and I did not miss that. But yeah, anyway, I went ahead and
7:57I bumped Black up my rankings because he now does look like he is the very clear running back to behind Christian
8:04McAffrey in San Francisco.
8:07Now, um, let me go ahead and we will adjust neighbors in the rankings if I have not done so already. I know that we
8:15had already adjusted Ricky Pierall. We already adjusted Jordan James and Kaylin Black, but again, I do think that the injury update that we have with
8:23Neighbors is worth moving him up to be honest with you.
8:29Previously, I had Neighbors here as the wide receiver 14 in my ranks. I'm right ahead of Tia Gen Flowers, right behind a
8:36Lav Devonte Smith. I would rather have Neighbors over Dvont Smith and Chris Ave. Now, I still think that there is injury concern with Malik Neighbors,
8:44don't get me wrong. not going to assume that he's 100% good to go by week one.
8:48Um definitely has way more concern than what you would see with like Devonte Smith from an injury perspective, but also at the same time, Malik Neighbors
8:55obviously has a much higher ceiling. So I'll go ahead, I'll update those rankings now. And as I update my rankings on flockfantasy.com,
9:03every single time it should update to not only all of my rankings across the site with all the tools, but it also
9:11should update to all of those custom draft sheets that y'all are going to be using for your Sleeper, your ESPN, and
9:19your Yahoo drafts this year. And of course, if y'all want to get those custom draft sheets that take into account your exact league settings as
9:28well as the exact draft platform that you are drafting on, um it's going to be the number one thing that wins you your
9:33fantasy league this year. And it's only $34 bucks with the flockfantasy.com season pass. This isn't $34 monthly.
9:41This is $34 for the entire season. Not only you going to get all those custom draft sheets, not only get all those
9:47real time draft assistance, but you're going to get access to our trade calculator during the season weekly and rest of season rankings consistently
9:55updated throughout the regular season as well. This isn't only from me either.
10:00You're going to be getting access to all the stuff from already all the favorite creators you watch on YouTube like Fantasy Land, Fantasy Domain, Fantasy
10:07Stock Exchange. And if you use code flock when you sign up to flockfantasy.com, you'll also get free start set and trade questions you can
10:15ask me um as we go through and live stream, which I'm going to be doing every single night during the season.
10:22Links in the description, it's in the comment section. Um yeah, it's also the top way you can support this channel.
10:30Now, I will also give a shout if y'all wanted to enter in to win a free flockfantasy.com season pass. I will set
10:37up that bot right now.
10:40Give me a second to set up the bot and then I'll explain exactly how you can do that. Now, Drake May off the board at
10:4767.
10:52Okay, I just set up that season pass bot. Marvin Harrison off the board. I would like to get a quarterback here if
10:57we can at pick 70.
11:02You can just see with the flockfantasy.com draft assistant highlighting Jamar Chase indicating that we probably should just go ahead and take him since we have um sorry
11:09highlighting Burrow telling us we should probably just take him because we have Jamar Chase which is exactly what we'll do. We'll take Joe Burrow here at 70.
11:17But I just set up that draft bot. I'm sorry that chat bot. So now if you want to enter in to win a free
11:24flockfantasy.com season pass, all you have to do is two things. One, drop a like on the live stream and two, type
11:32the word season pass into the live chat.
11:36You do those two things, it is going to enter you in to win a free flockfantasy.com season pass.
11:44Okay. Um, we are on the clock. Jaylen Warren's my highest ranked player, also the highest ranked according to ADP.
11:48We'll go ahead and pull the trigger.
11:50Obviously, this is a team in which we need to help our running back. We only have Cam Scaboo currently as our running
11:55back one. But now in terms of our roster, we have Burrow at quarterback stacked with Jamar Chase. We have the elite tight end with McBride. I know I'm
12:05stupid for taking McBride in the third, but I do it all the time and I'm not going to stop. We have Jamar Chase, wide
12:11receiver one. We have Drake London, wide receiver two. We have Jaylen Wadd, wide receiver three.
12:18Running back, we have Cam Scataboo, RB1.
12:20We have Jaylen Warren, RB2.
12:24So running back is a concern of course, but I think we're going to be able to survive. I think we'll be fine here.
12:31Now Tucker Craft off the board at 79.
12:37Okay, no numbers says how is team five and a Mason. I mean they got a massive value on Devon at pick 20. They got a
12:44massive value with ETN at 44. Luther Burden typically goes in the fourth round. They get him here at pick 53. I
12:51think team five looks really good.
12:52Obviously, it's going to come down to how many points can they get a quarterback, but team five looks great.
13:00All right, now we have Herbert off at 82 for the lad team. Dak Prescott goes 83. A team doesn't have Lamb. They do have
13:11Javvante, but maybe they just don't care about stacking their quarterbacks because they go ahead and they take Brock Party here at 86 and they don't
13:17have any NerS.
13:23Okay. And yeah, another thing that we updated with our rankings is we did move Dean Stribbling up. So, obviously, if you're looking at my rankings, you will
13:32have noticed that I moved Ricky Pierce down, of course, but we also moved Stribbling up. When we talked about Jaylen Coker being moved up, I'm going
13:40to be honest with you, we talked about the impact. I hadn't actually adjusted my specific rankings with him yet, which I will do that right now. I probably
13:48moved Gilen Coker up ahead of Romeo Dobs.
13:53Yeah. So, I've been low on Coker, but I do think that Chris Brazzle going down does bump the target share that we
14:00should expect for Coker. So, I'll move him up. RJ Harvey goes at 92. I'd have been very excited about getting RJ
14:06Harvey at 94 for our team that obviously needs running backs.
14:11Okay.
14:17We are going to take Rico Dattle here.
14:18Pretty interesting pairing for us to go with Jaylen Warren at 75 and then Rico Dattle at 94 monopolizing all of the
14:26Pittsburgh Steelers running back touches until of course Caleb Johnson comes from um the depths of the fantasy football graveyard and
14:36all of a sudden Vultures a touchdown and I lose my freaking mind.
14:41Matthew Stafford goes 97. I'm not stressing about quarterbacks. Again, we have Burrow. Now, of course, if you're in your ESPN and your Yahoo League, once
14:50you have Joe Burrow, you're not drafting a second quarterback. Here in underdog drafts, you have to, but we can do so a
14:57little bit later.
15:01All right, Kyle Monungai off at 98. I am not going to be taking Ricky Paw. If you look at my rankings again, we dropped
15:09Ricky Pierall down um quite a bit to be honest.
15:14Jonathan Brooks has been steaming up so much it's not even funny.
15:20I still have Dobbins ranked ahead of Jonathan Brooks. It may be just a horrendous take. And I know Brooks is a
15:27super unique case, right? But a running back that's had like three carries in his football career since 2023.
15:38It's going to be a tough call for me to draft inside the first 100 picks. It's going to be tough.
15:47Now after we take Dobbins to nobody's surprise, Jonathan Brooks does immediately go after. Like the way things are trending is it looks like
15:55Jonathan Brooks is gonna be getting drafted next to Chuba Hubard by the time August gets here.
16:02Okay.
16:05Now Bo Nicks goes at 101. That's to a team that has Harvey but no other Denver Broncos.
16:11But they also just genuinely need quarterback points, right? Are they going to fall too far behind at the position?
16:21Jakory Crossit goes 103. Let me see with the draft assistant what it's telling us we want to do construction-wise. It's telling us we most likely only want to
16:30take two quarterbacks here having Burrow. We most likely only want to take two tight ends here having McBride. Um showing that we can get up to eight wide
16:37receivers and showing that we can get up to six running backs. So, looks like we're probably drafting two more running backs on this team. We're probably
16:45drafting five more wide receivers and only one more QB and one more tight end.
16:52Okay, Matthew Golden goes 106. It's to a team that has Christian Watson and Jaden Reed. So, you'd assume that team at 10's
17:00going to follow this up with a Jordan Love selection at 111.
17:08Baker Mayfield goes 109. George KD goes 110. That's to the Brock party team.
17:13Makes a lot of sense.
17:18Okay. Yeah, that team here with the Packers does end up getting Jordan Love.
17:23I am so interested to see Neighbors going here at 19. Can y'all please spam the chat for me? Cuz again, I updated in
17:33my rankings that I moved Neighbors like ahead of Devonte Smith here. I did not move neighbors ahead of Pickkins, Nico London, AJ Brown because for me
17:40personally, I still view a lot of risk in week one. Now again, I love the positive updates. We drafted Malik Neighbors in round four of a lot of
17:47drafts, including some $500 drafts. So, absolutely loving the fact that Neighbors is healthy. And dear God, Ricky Pierol has fallen maybe to the
17:57point where is he the highest ranked player for me? Nope. Ricky Beers is still not the highest ranked player for me. That is going to be Kenny Gainwell
18:04instead. So, we will take Gainwell here if underdog lets us. Come on.
18:13Okay. Thank God. Um, and we'll see if Pure Solid makes it. So, again, my instant gut reaction based on the injury
18:19report that we got is I move Pure Solid to be drafted around like um this range.
18:26Exactly.
18:27We'll see if he goes. If he doesn't, am I an idiot to
18:36draft Ricky Pierol at 123?
18:46So, we have a couple of the Vikings running backs off with Jordan Mason, Aaron Jones.
18:56Kelsey goes 121.
19:00I have Pier Saul ranked 116. I have Dobs ranked 117.
19:09Dear God, here's the thing. I mean, Pier's never scored more than 78 points in a season.
19:19I'm gonna Oh my gosh. I'm going to take Romeo Dobs here for science. I want to see if I don't draft
19:27Pier. Again, my instant gut reaction was to move him down here in this range. But maybe I'm way off with this. Maybe all
19:34of a sudden the real cost for Ricky Paw that we're about to see is him going in the 140s. I don't know. I haven't done a
19:41draft today. This is my first one.
19:44So, I'm gonna take Doss for science.
19:47We'll see exactly how far Pawall falls.
19:51But anyway, I got distracted with Malik Neighbor stuff. I need the chat to help me out here. Who would you rather draft
19:59this year? Ignore cost. Ignore everything.
20:04your main fantasy football league, the league that you care most about drafts tomorrow and you're going in with
20:13a set of rankings, who are you going to have ranked higher, George Pickins or Malik Neighbors?
20:25George Pickins or Malik Neighbors?
20:28Please let me know in the chat. And side note, since we passed Ricky Pieraw at 123, he still has not gone here. And
20:36we're about to be on the board at 130.
20:38And Pierol was my ice ranked player when we were at 123.
20:44So we got pickins neighbors neighbors pickins neighbors pickins neighbors neighbors pickins neighbors neighbors neighbors pickins neighbors neighbors neighbors pickins pickins
20:58neighbors neighbors pickins pickins pickins pickins it does look like it's pretty damn close to 50/50 so maybe that's a good point of where we threw
21:08him in our rankings again I put him there at that 23 turn and now that I've been on the clock and
21:14I've had to make this decision myself. I am going to go ahead. I am actually going to move Ricky Piol below Romeo
21:23Dobs officially.
21:28So, let me do that.
21:35And yeah, here we'll have Ricky Pierce all ranked down at wide receiver 53.
21:43And I'm going to move Deshawn Stribbling up to wide receiver 60. I'll still have Pure Salt ahead of Stribbling, which you
21:50see Stribbling go before him in this draft, but also Christian Kirk's injured as well, which is another interesting note.
21:59So, Goddard goes 138.
22:03This team here at six is getting absolutely cooked with the draft assistant. Y'all can see this. It's grading them out as the worst team in
22:09this draft by far. And I probably agree with it because they have Drake May, Trevor Lawrence, Jared Goth at quarterback. They have three QBs and
22:17their only running back is Josh Jacobs.
22:19So I probably stand by the draft grade that it's giving them at this point.
22:27Terms of what we can look at here, I really don't know what we want to do.
22:32I'm probably going to take just Cam Ward and lock us in some quarterback points and kick the can down the road.
22:40Travis Hunter does go 143. I was interested to see where Travis Hunter ended up getting drafted after the report that he played. Again, more on
22:47the defensive side of the ball in camp today than the offensive side, but he still played on both.
22:56Aronda Gadston 145.
23:01We can only draft one more running back.
23:03We need to draft four more wide receivers. So, while Woody Marks is my highest ranked player here, I think I probably prefer just going ahead and
23:11taking Omar Cooper.
23:14We're going to go ahead and do just that. Of course, he's stuck as a New York Jet, which you absolutely hate to
23:19see. Jets aren't going to score a ton of fantasy points, but everybody in this draft understands that, right? There's a reason this is a round one NFL talent
23:28going at pick 147 going after somebody like Jaylen McMillan who was drafted on day three of his NFL draft and really I
23:37think he's never had I mean I know he's never had 800 receiving guards in a season. [snorts] Okay.
23:48Now after we take Omar we have Chig Jawan Johnson and Hunter Henry. So, drafting Cam Ward, obviously you really want to do this primarily on teams in
23:57which you have Well Robinson and or Carnell Tate, but we do have some options like we can go Gunnar Helm later
24:07and at the same time we have the option to possibly go with Calvin Ridley. So, that's a big reason why we decided not
24:13to take a tight end here in round 13 because I do want to keep the possibility of us drafting Gunnar Helm.
24:18And whenever I have Trey McBride, I'm probably not drafting more than two tight ends, right? I don't necessarily think that we want to take a tight end
24:25here with Chig and then also follow it up with the Gunner Helm selection later.
24:30Okay, now Schultz off at 169.
24:42I'm sorry, that's 159. Woody Marks made it all the way down to 154, which for me I think is pretty damn good value with
24:48Woody Marks. Again, I say said my piece with him. My big thing is I think you're going to get some usable weeks without a
24:56David McGomery injury. Not very many.
24:58David McGomery is going to be the primary back. But in basketball specifically, I think you'll get a couple random games with him hitting
25:05your lineup without a McGomery injury.
25:07But if McGomery were to go down, then all of a sudden he crushes.
25:12Okay, now Spears going 163. That would have been a phenomenal pick for us to get a 166, but this team needed their
25:19running back, too, behind Josh Jacobs.
25:21So, I'm not going to fault them for taking Spears.
25:24All right, let me swing this around. I can already tell you my rankings are going to have Kenyan Sadi as the highest
25:29ranked name, which is exactly the case.
25:33I think Kenyan Sadi is so much of a better pick than freaking Gunner Helm. I may take him and then just peg ourselves
25:39to Cin Ridley later.
25:43Okay. How stupid am I to take Kenyan Sadiq? It's Kenyan Sadique, Ryan Florenoi or Zack Charbanet. I'm gonna go Kenyan Sadi. I know I'm stupid for doing
25:52this. I completely get it. But my monkey brain sees a round one talent at tight end with a phenomenal athletic profile
26:01getting drafted after Isaac Tesla. Y'all want to guess how many receiving yards Isaac Tesla had in his rookie season?
26:1514 receiving yards per game.
26:18Day three NFL draft pick.
26:21He's already 23 years old. He's 24 right now. The dude had 14 receiving yards per game in his rookie season. I don't see
26:29how I can take him over a round one talent at the tight end position that has a phenomenal profile.
26:38Now, I'm going to go ahead and take Zack Sharpet as her sixth running back here.
26:42Sharpet gonna miss a lot of time, obviously. That's why he's going as her sixth RB, but ultimately, I think he can be back for the final
26:52eight weeks. And if we're looking at the cost in comparison to the other running backs that are going to be drafted in
26:58this range, I think Sharpet has a real good shot of giving us the most usable weeks.
27:04Okay, now Brian Robinson goes 174.
27:14Humamez says, "Didn't Tesla have an insane amount of routes and like no targets?" Yeah, if you actually look at his route run stuff,
27:23Isaac Tesla was horrendous.
27:27Like unspeakably bad. This dude had 0.787 yards per route run.
27:350.87.
27:37That's unbelievable. Like, name a bad wide receiver in the NFL and we'll pull up what they did. Throw out the worst
27:46wide receiver you can think of in your mind right now. Let me see it in the chat and we'll pull up what their yards
27:51per run was.
27:55Okay.
28:00Ray Davis goes 181.
28:07Sean Jones says, "Teslaw never producing college." Yeah, if y'all remember Isaac Tlaw getting drafted round three of the NFL draft by the Lions, people are like,
28:14"What the hell are the Lions doing?"
28:17We got Jack Bash. So, Jack Bash, a wide receiver, not getting drafted this year.
28:22Obviously, Jack Bash was in the worst offense in the NFL last season.
28:26Absolutely atrocious. Um, he averaged 2.65 65 points per game. He had 1.21 yards per route run. Significantly better while on the field than Isaac
28:37Tesla from a yards per route run perspective. Now Teslaw had some circus catches that led to touchdowns of course, but that's a good call. Um Keon Coleman,
28:48let's look at what the efficiency was for Keon Coleman because yeah, Keon Coleman obviously people like clowning on him.
28:57Kean Coleman 1.39 yards per route run, 1.8 his rookie season. Significantly better than Isaac Tesla.
29:06Okay, we're on the clock again. We need to spam wide receivers. I'm going to take Calvin Ridley here just to pair him
29:12up with Cam Ward. And then I think we're going to take two more wide receivers to cap this draft off.
29:20Antonio Williams goes 191.
29:23I like the Antonio Williams shout now that it's pretty much confirmed that I is not a commander.
29:32Tad Hurst goes, Tank Dell goes. At that point, we'll just take Dantavian Wixs.
29:38And then we'll also queue up some random other bum wide receiver because we have three really good receivers with Chase, London, Waddle. But then after that,
29:46it's a poo poo platter. It's Romeo Dobs, Omar Cooper, Calvin Ridley, Dontavon Wixs, and then we're just gonna have to throw in some random name. We'll throw
29:55in Kan Booty. Hope that he gets dealt. I like Troy Franklin here as well. We already have Wadd.
30:02Um, and we can throw in Cup. Throw in Keon.
30:08I don't want to take Kenan Allen. We can throw in Yoshi Vos if we really wanted to.
30:13Don't want to take an injured Christian Kirk. We can throw in Tyreek Hill because I am a straightup idiot. Okay, let's hop in another draft. It's pretty
30:22early here.
30:25Okay, well, we in this.
30:27And there was only one spot uh with somebody in it before we joined. So, I'm assuming there's going to be a lot of
30:33y'all.
30:41Um Jinzy says, "Can you help me?
30:43Underdog doesn't work on my PC. It says I'm in the wrong location, but I live in Cali. Uh, I am not underdog support. If
30:49you email underdog support, I'm sure they'd be able to help you. I'll give a little piece of advice, though. Um, maybe check that your computer is not
30:58blocking your location. If you're using a VPN or your computer's blocking your location, when Underdog goes through to confirm that you're in an eligible
31:07state, um they'll just go ahead and block you entirely from getting in a draft because they can't allow people like using VPNs
31:18in Europe to try to get into these drafts here when they're not in Europe.
31:22So that would be my best guess, but again, be the best person there.
31:29Okay, Jake Worm says, "Mason, I drink water out of my Ninja cup every night."
31:36Absolutely love to hear that, my friend.
31:38Love to hear it. And see people also getting in their season pass. Again, reminder, if y'all want to enter in to
31:46win a free flockfantasy.com season pass, it's pretty simple. You just got to do two things. One, drop a like on the live
31:53stream. And then two, type the word season pass into the live chat. You do those two things, it's going to enter
31:59you in to win a free flockfantasy.com season pass.
32:04And we're at the 106 here. The 106 kind of sucks. I'm going to be honest. 106 may be one of the worst picks in these
32:10drafts.
32:15Okay, Vinnie says the gang is all here. Yeah, let's check who's in this draft.
32:22We got Draco in at four. We have the real Vinnie in at eight. And oh, we get JS in at six. I'm a little excited about
32:31this.
32:32So, we have the real Vinnie in at 8. And we have the Mr. Pib Vinnie in at 11.
32:38Right.
32:40This is actually I would say a better comparison instead of Dr. Pepper Mr.
32:45head is probably this is CocaCola Vinnie right here and this is like Royal Cola is that's the knockoff Coke, right? Or
32:55this is like a Great Value Coca-Cola.
32:58Does Walmart have a Great Value Coca-Cola?
33:11I don't think so.
33:21Now Barkley goes ahead of Taylor.
33:24The fake Vinnie gets Jonathan Taylor here at 11.
33:31Big Hungry Bear says, "Bro, you look like you don't have arms." You, man, you have no idea how impressive this live
33:36stream is with the context that I don't have arms.
33:39The fact that I'm making these pics with my eyeballs in my mind right now. Next level.
33:46Next level.
33:49Okay. And crap. We are muted. How are we muted right now?
33:57Oh no.
34:12No, you can't. Can you hear me now?
34:16Oh, dear God. Um, we are going to take Henry because it'll be the unique pick with JSN.
34:23Okay. Okay. They lied to me. They lied to me.
34:30But did Zufa start that?
34:33Zufa is about to quickly get himself banned from the chat. I'll tell you that much. Whoever was the first person to
34:39say I was muted. You're done. You're gone. Bye forever.
34:45Bye forever.
34:50Who did Who did this? Who did this?
34:55I want heads. I want names.
34:59We're going to roll.
35:04Y'all are in some serious trouble.
35:08I'll tell you that much.
35:12Okay. Rasheed Rice goes at 25.
35:16Jake says, "You were muted." Yeah. Yeah.
35:18Yeah. My friend. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Not falling for that one again.
35:25Okay. Oh, you know what it is? is it looks like OBS is messing us up. Let me close out some of these tabs. Maybe we
35:34just have too many tabs open. McBride goes 27. I was going to say, is Bowowers even off? But yeah, Bowowers went on the
35:40complete opposite side of the board.
35:43Okay, how many windows we got open here?
35:47Okay, I think we've closed the majority of them. We should be fine.
35:51Breeze goes Um, Cam Soy says, "Got my season pass.
36:01Our draft isn't for another month, but I know my pick. Should I be spamming mockdrafts on the site?" I would say
36:07generally that's probably your best source of action. I would do the mock drafts on flockfantasy.com but also I would actually make sure that you are
36:18like I would also practice on your draft platform itself right so say you got the season pass and you're like
36:29um I'm going to be drafting on ESPN this year or you're going to be drafting on Yahoo and you know you're going to be
36:36doing it on the computer like at your house I would go ahead head and I would actually not like don't just do drafts
36:44on flockfantasy.com actually get in some drafts on Yahoo as well with the live draft assistant. That way you can get used to it. You can see
36:54what you like, see what you don't like.
36:56Um or if you're going to be doing those draft sheets on the site as well, just I would practice as close as you can to
37:06what your actual draft is going to be like.
37:11Johnny says, "Are the mock drafts a free feature or do you need the season pass?"
37:14No, you can do mock drafts on flockfantasy.com for free. You don't need to have the season pass for that.
37:23Now Josh Allen off at 37.
37:27Lad goes 38.
37:30Bucky 39. Pretty damn early to see Bucky there. Wonder if we end up getting like ETN making it to us now.
37:39Chris says, "How do you make the live draft assistant assistant bigger like you have it?" Um, you should be able to
37:44expand with the corners. So, you would grab the corner and you can make it as big as you want. You can make it as
37:49small as you want. U, yeah, should be pretty easy hopefully.
37:57Josh Jacobs goes 42. We're going to go ahead and we will take Garrett Wilson here, who's the highest ranked player for me. try not to take a ton of Garrett
38:05Wilson because while like Kenyan Sadiq and Omar Cooper are cheap as hell because everybody understands, yeah, you don't want to be drafting New York Jets,
38:14Garrett Wilson's relatively expensive.
38:17He's a fourth round pick.
38:24Nico says, "My ESPN mocks are way different than flock mocks." Actually, I forgot to show y'all this. I mean, I'm going to be doing a lot more drafts on
38:31flockfantasy.com as we get to August, so we'll be showing y'all more then. But the devs actually pushed out an update yesterday on flockfantasy.com
38:41where if you go through and you set up like a draft simulation, right? Like, let me just show you exactly how to do
38:48this. So, if you go to flockfasanty.com, this is free by the way, you'll see the public draft rooms where you can get
38:52into 2026 draft, half PPR, superflex, nonPR, full PPR. You can go to a draft simulation. Um, if you set up a draft
38:59simulation, you can actually do like a reddraft PPR 12 team. You can actually set what your platform is, like ESPN,
39:09and then hit continue. And then whenever you say go through and draft, say you're going to be picking from the six spot.
39:17I'm going to go ahead and put my team at the sixth. I'm going to hit start draft.
39:23If you look at the bots that you're going to be drafting against, um, you are going to be drafting against a ton of these ESPN bots that are going
39:31to be taking into account ESPN.
39:34So, yeah, I would go through and I would use the exact like when you set up a draft simulation,
39:45set it up with the platform that you're going to be drafting on because your league will also be paying attention to
39:51that ADP as they draft.
39:57Okay.
39:59Now, yeah, the devs are hopefully going to have a pretty Oh, we're going to take Trevian Henderson here easily. I know Devonte
40:09Adams highest ranked player according to ADP. Henderson's highest in my rankings.
40:13And we already have JSN, Devont Smith, Garrett Wilson, a wide receiver, and we only have Derrick Henry at running back.
40:19Okay.
40:23But yeah, so the devs are also going to have a pretty big update with the drafts again hopefully tomorrow. So I haven't
40:31been talking much about the drafts because we've been working on them, making them better, but I think we've had over 400,000 drafts done on
40:37flockfantasy.com.
40:43Okay, R squared says, "Do the create your own rankings need to have a subscription now." Yes. to create your own rankings to power the tools through
40:51flockfantasy.com.
40:53Um, you will have to have the season pass to create your own rankings. It was going to slow down our database too much
40:58and make the site load way too slow if we allowed free accounts to save and create all their rankings as well.
41:07So, um, again, I'm not technical, so I'm not going to sit here and pretend like I understand everything, but the way that
41:14the devs explained it to me is for the load on our end, it's a lot easier if we were to go through and
41:25Jarian Price goes 66, payw wall, the create your own rankings. Tyler Ward, my highest ranked player. Um, I like the elite quarterbacks in round six a ton,
41:33but we don't have any stacks for them, so we'll just take Tyler Ward.
41:39and pretty cheap for Tyler Warren as well.
41:47Let me move this over.
41:54Um Dan says, "Hey brother, any reason why your 2QB league and Superfly ranks are showing up for my mother flocker scenes past?" Um I would have no reason
42:01for that my friend. If you want to email supportfogfantasy.com, hopefully they can help you out because if I go to the draft sheets
42:12and I hit Superflex and I sort by my rankings, I see all my Superflex ranks here. So,
42:26um I don't know why it wouldn't be working for you, but if you email support at flockfantasy.com, hopefully they can help you out.
42:37Okay, nowaday Stevenson goes 73.
42:50Raadre going what about 19 picks after Trevon
43:01here. Mailman goes 74.
43:13Burrow goes 76. Really big fall for the Burrow team. Oh my gosh. We get Jaden Daniels at 78.
43:21That is an auto pick for us.
43:24Insane to get Daniels there. What did the Terry McLaren team do? The Terry Mcccluren team just drafted Rico Dael instead of Jaden Daniels.
43:38I'm sorry if you're in this draft with us. I don't want to say anything rude, but man, you done messed up.
43:48You done messed up.
43:51Now quarterback, we are currently sitting with Jaden Daniels. Running back, we have Derrick Henry and Trevian Henderson.
44:01Running back, we have I'm sorry, wide receiver, we have JSN, wide receiver one. Devont Smith, wide receiver two.
44:08Garrett Wilson, wide receiver three.
44:12Tyler Warren at tight end. This is a damn good team.
44:21Okay, Jaden Rio's 85. It's team that has also Christian Watson and Tucker Craft. So, I'm assuming they're going through and they're setting themselves up with like
44:30a full Packers onslaught.
44:38Okay, Stafford off at 87.
44:50Harvey goes 88. I'd have been excited to draft RJ Harvey.
44:57I I don't feel like we need to stress about anything specific making to us.
45:02I'm going to be fine taking Alec Pierce.
45:04I understand that he's on the pup right now, but I think him going at 91 that's fully priced in. We are already in on
45:12this Indianapolis Colts offense by drafting Tyler Warren at 67. So, I feel good about taking Alec Pierce at 91.
45:20Okay. Bitter Hornet says, "Shout out to the devs for the draft system personal rankings. Any advice on how to best use
45:26the draft assistant during the drafts?"
45:28Um, so obviously you have the options of doing the draft sheets, live draft assistants, or doing the um printable sheets. I would say if you can use the
45:38live draft assistance, that's what I would do just because it's automatically going to handle all the tracking and stuff for you. Um, and then if you can't
45:47do that, I would switch to the draft sheets.
45:52And I just bit the crap out of my tongue here.
45:57Jonathan Brooks, seven picks after Chuba Hubard in this one.
46:02When is the first time we see Jonathan Brooks get drafted ahead of Chuba Hubard in this live stream.
46:12Pitman goes 99. Cal Manungai goes at 100.
46:21This team only has two wide receivers.
46:25Michael Wilson goes, "Michael Wilson was my highest ranked player. Now I have it as Leaporta, then Dobbins, Fann and Meyers. I'm going to go Leaporta here.
46:34We're going to get a little weird with it.
46:37Having the combo of Tyler Ward at 67 and Leaporta at 102. I think we're going to call it a day at tight end after this. I
46:46don't think we're drafting another tight end here.
46:54Fannon, Kyle Pittz both go. Good for us.
46:56Obviously, we want to see these tight ends off once we take Sam Leaporta Meyers, Matthew Golden.
47:09You could possibly make an argument to pass on Leaporta if you
47:20want to set yourself up with Chig later on to stack with Daniels. But for me, I hate the chick price.
47:30Like we took Leaporta at like 102 and Chick goes at 140. I'd way rather just pay the extra 40 pegs to get
47:41Leaporta.
47:43Jakory Crossit off at 111.
47:49My rankings have it as Rashad White, Wandelle, Jared Goff. ADP as it as Paw, Rashad White, Jared Goff, Well goes 112.
47:59Conception 113.
48:04Goff goes. So, we're going to take Rashad White. I mean, in theory, Rashad White will catch the ball to the backfield. So, maybe he does correlate
48:12well with or in a respectable manner with Jaden Daniels.
48:20Okay.
48:22Eric says, "When will you start the money leagues again?" I think the plan as of now is going to be I'm going to
48:29start those reddraft leagues where if you all have missed the announcement over the past few days, we're going to be doing reddraft leagues every night.
48:39We're going to do one a night where I put in a couple hundred bucks. Most nights it's going to be $200.
48:46Every once in a while I'll put in $500 to the pot. And once in a blue moon, I'll put in a thousand. Obviously, it'll
48:53be a very, very rare thing or uh the bank account will not be happy with me.
48:58But I'll be putting in say like 200 bucks into the league pot. I'll be drafting with 11 random y'all um 11
49:05random people from the live chat. And whoever wins the league, it will be a regular reddraft league that you submit your starting lineup in throughout the
49:14season, you will win the $200, right? Or you will win the $500. just whatever's in the league pot and I will let you
49:21know what's in the league pot before you join. But you will have to pay in0.
49:26It will just be me trying to find a way to get back to the people that hang out with us in these streams every day. Now,
49:33um when those start, most likely August 1st. I'm not going to 100% commit to that, but most likely.
49:41I am not taking a tight end here, that's for sure. Quarterback Baker, we don't have any stacks with. We could go
49:47McMillan, but we can't take Kate Dottton later. So, I don't know if we love taking an unstacked Baker. I'm going to
49:53pull up Stefon Diggs. I know it's a massive reach on Diggs here at 126, but I don't know if he makes it back to us.
50:00He's my highest ranked wide receiver.
50:01And at the same time, we have Daniels.
50:04And I think right now the betting favorite to land Stefon Diggs is going to be the Washington Commanders. So, it's pretty aggressive pick. I
50:12understand that, but we're running with it anyway. And also for anybody tracking in this draft here, Ricky Pawol did go off the board at 116.
50:22To be fair, that's also the team that took Rico Dattle instead of Jaden Daniels and they had Terry McLaren.
50:31Okay, so we have Chris Rodriguez off at 131.
50:42Travis Hunter goes 13. I was interested to see how the report again with the Travis Hunter defensive verse offensive
50:51splits was going to impact his cost.
50:58I figured people would kind of panic seeing again I think the split with the first team was eight defensive snaps in
51:07comparison to four offensive.
51:09But this is now back-to-back times where we've seen his cost really doesn't get impacted at all, at least today. Now, quarterback's still going to be in play
51:18for us, as will running back, wide receiver, pretty much anything but tight end.
51:26So, we have a stack with Darnold and JSN. But here's the deal. I think Malik Willis is gonna score more points
51:33strictly based off of rushing upside.
51:36And again, if your points are coming from running the ball, I don't necessarily think the stack is going to matter as much with you here.
51:45So, I think we go ahead and we grab Willis at 139. There's a chance that Darnold makes it back to us. And
51:54obviously, an interesting calculus for this team would be u most Jaden Daniels teams when Daniels goes at pick like 66, I would say should be two quarterback
52:04builds.
52:05But I wonder if because we got Jaden Daniels at 78, we should go through and we should
52:22possibly mix in three QBs.
52:28Math is telling us that a better advance rate would have three QBs, but the better semi-finals and finals upside would be with only two, which makes a
52:35ton of sense. Running back, five or six running back builds makes sense based on what we've done. Wide receivers, six, seven, and eight have.
52:44And tight ends telling us that three tight ends make sense for advancement.
52:47Two tight ends makes sense for playoff upside. That makes sense very similar to quarterback.
52:54H. Oh my gosh.
52:58I don't know what the right call is. I really have no idea.
53:06I'm going to take Jay and Naylor at 150.
53:15I don't know if we should take the third quarterback here.
53:19You can very strongly make an argument that we should, but again, I just have no idea.
53:39Now, Jawan Jennings goes 155.
53:45All right, Bryce Young 156. So, the interest
53:59Oh, Darnold goes right here. I was going to say the interesting thing will be if Darnold does make it back to us at 163,
54:05do we just go ahead and throw in the towel and grab the third QB?
54:11Spears goes.
54:14If we get Tucker on the way back around, we could potentially be in a spot similar where it's like, hey, if Mendoza
54:20falls, then all of a sudden we have a double stack. But no, Trey Tucker goes.
54:28My rankings have it as Coleman, Kenyan, Sadi. Again, I'm probably not taking another tight end. We're going to grab Jonah Coleman here at 163 as our fourth
54:36RB.
54:44Let's swing this around.
54:52So now running back we have Henry Henderson running back four wide receiver JSN one Devont Smith two Garrett Wilson three Alec Pierce four
55:03Diggs five Jaylen Naylor six we have Daniels if you think this matters paired with Rashad White and then we have an
55:12unstacked Malik Willis.
55:16Okay, now let's see what we got here.
55:27Tesla goes 169.
55:36Swing this around. So, if Antonio Williams were to make it to us, this would be a really good spot. Again, we
55:42could go through and stack Antonio Williams with Jaden Daniels pretty easily.
55:48I think that would be our preference. I again, I think tight end here would be a stretch with having Ward and Leaporta
55:56if we were to take the third tight end.
55:58Damn, that effing sucks.
56:04Um, Brian Serat, that just takes the life out of me. I
56:16don't know what to do now.
56:22I really I'm clueless.
56:25We'll just take a running back because we know we need at least one more RB.
56:29Here's the deal. We know we need at least five running backs. We know we need at least seven wide receivers.
56:35So, as we panic through trying to figure out what those last few spots on our roster should be, usually we use the
56:42draft assistant for this again, but the math is so close that it's not very clear and I think we just kind of have
56:47to make the call on oursel in this instance.
56:51I would rather draft the positions that we know we need here and then save those like random other positions we can look
56:59at in the last few rounds.
57:03But now that we are approaching the last three rounds, a mistake that I made over the past few days is waiting until like
57:09the last rounds for the last giveaway announcement. So again, last time we're going to give I mean do the giveaway announcement. If you want to enter in to
57:19win a free flockfantasy.com season pass, all you need to do is drop a like on the live stream and then type the word
57:27season pass into the live chat. You do those two things and you will be entered in to win a free flockfantasy.com season
57:34pass.
57:37Now, let me swing this over and pull up the wheel of names because I think that's how we're going to do it.
57:48Perfect. And we have three more picks we need to make. Let me look at the math one more time.
57:56So again, two quarterback builds, higher ceiling in the playoffs, higher advance rate to go with the three tight ends.
58:04Same exact ordeal with quarterbacks based on what we've done. Running back five and six, both look fine. Wide receiver, six, seven, eight, nine, all
58:13look fine as well. I think we get to if it we'll take Greg Dolich just out of the stack with
58:24Malik Willis. And again, I think when we look at the math that way, what's probably going to be appropriate is either going with a third tight end or a
58:39third quarterback. I don't think we need to push to six running backs and eight wide receivers, but obviously we definitely don't want three QBs and
58:47three tight ends because it is very, very iffy.
58:52But let me go ahead and grab the giveaway names. We'll put this in the wheel.
59:03Perfect.
59:05And let me swing this over and let's spin this bad boy.
59:16Okay, this is Grayson B8G5S.
59:24Grayson B8G5S.
59:29If you are out in the live chat, please let me know what your flockfantasy.com username is. Super happy to hook you up
59:35with a free one. Quinton Johnson says, "Gift one to Daniel Badaki."

61:23Let me try. What was the name of the winner? Where the hell's the wheel?
61:29Grayson. Okay, let me go try to reorientate ourselves and find Grayson.
61:36And do we want an eighth receiver or a sixth running back?
61:43I think we want the eighth wide receiver.
61:47Would it be interesting to go with Pat Bryant and Troy Franklin on the same team?
61:53Like what happens if Sutton's cooked or Wadd? Let's go with both of those secondary Denver wide receivers, which may just be horrendous.
62:02Okay.
62:04Yeah, it is Grayson something. So, I am looking for Grayson in the chat. If you want to get that free floasy.com season
62:10pass, let me know what it is. And sportball reports has just followed the doc. You absolutely love it. Uh, and no
62:19way in hell I'm taking Keenan Allen.
62:24But I think that is all I have for y'all.
62:39I appreciate y'all hanging out. I'm going to continue to monitor. Um, yeah, this is now going to be the third straight night nobody has claimed their
62:47pass.
62:49Third straight night.
62:52But hopefully tomorrow we'll get somebody actually claiming it. But I appreciate you, ladies and gentlemen.
62:58See if I have anything else to shout out. I don't necessarily, but thank you. Appreciate you. And I really hope I get to see you out in the
63:06live stream tomorrow night.
