A.J. Brown
PositiveValue26:37
The source uses A.J. Brown as a benchmark for high-value players who should be drafted ahead of Trey McBride.
Insight pageAaron Jones
PositiveValue33:32
The source targets Aaron Jones at the end of the 10th round, noting he has a strong chance to be the starting running back for a much improved offense.
Insight pageAlec Pierce
PositiveInjury44:56
Despite concerns regarding an ankle injury, the source is targeting Alec Pierce, reasoning that the team would not have guaranteed him $84 million if the injury were expected to linger into the season.
Insight pageBaker Mayfield
NegativeDepth Chart33:32
The source notes Baker Mayfield being selected by a team during a mock draft.
Insight pageBijan Robinson
PositiveProjection3:31
Bijan Robinson is considered an elite RB1 and a high-end anchor running back. The source strongly recommends drafting him at the 1.02, noting that pairing him with Jahmyr Gibbs provides a significant roster advantage. He is expected to be a top-five pick in upcoming drafts and is viewed as a stable, well-balanced cornerstone for roster construction.
Insight pageBrock Bowers
PositiveValue25:04
Brock Bowers is considered a superior draft option to Trey McBride and is ranked as the 1.01 overall pick in tight-end premium leagues that award two points per reception and two points per first down.
Insight pageBucky Irving
NegativeValue9:55
Bucky Irving is being drafted at the 4.09 position, but the source is less enthusiastic about his outlook due to the significant financial investment the team made in Kenneth Gainwell and Sean Tucker this offseason.
Insight pageColston Loveland
NegativeValue5:27
Colson Loveland is consistently being selected at the 4.06 position in the source's mock drafts.
Insight pageD'Andre Swift
PositiveValue10:35
The source ranks D'Andre Swift as their highest-rated running back, viewing him as the "security pick" with a high floor for managed redraft leagues. The source moved him ahead of TreVeyon Henderson following reports out of New England, though they acknowledge he can feel like a weak pick in the fifth round because he is functionally similar to other available players.
Insight pageDak Prescott
PositiveValue16:55
Dak Prescott is an ideal target in six-point passing touchdown leagues, often available later than peers like Justin Herbert while offering better per-game stats and high touchdown upside. The source considers him a great pick at the 9.12.
Insight pageDavante Adams
NegativeValue9:55
Davante Adams is being drafted at the 4.10 position in the source's mock draft.
Insight pageDe'Von Achane
NegativeValue34:03
The source suggests that Devon Achane is currently ranked too high by experts and advises users to move him down in their custom rankings.
Insight pageDerrick Henry
PositiveValue4:19
Derrick Henry serves as a benchmark for a significant tier drop at the running back position. The source suggests that if he is ranked too low by experts, users should manually move him up in their custom rankings.
Insight pageDK Metcalf
PositiveValue39:18
DK Metcalf is targeted as a draft pick for his high floor and consistency in a double-flex format. He is valued for reliably printing top-30 wide receiver seasons, making him a trustworthy flex option or WR3 in full PPR leagues.
Insight pageGarrett Wilson
PositiveValue10:04
The source identifies Garrett Wilson as a priority target in the fourth round, noting that in a full PPR format with two flex spots and a four-wide-receiver starting requirement, drafting him is a "no-brainer."
Insight pageGeorge Pickens
PositiveProjection5:11
George Pickens is ranked higher than Rashee Rice due to a higher floor, as he is fully healthy and avoided off-season surgery. He is noted as going off the board at the 2-3 turn.
Insight pageJa'Marr Chase
PositiveProjection16:18
The source expects Ja'Marr Chase to be a top-five draft pick and credits his previous successful fantasy season to drafting him in the first round.
Insight pageJahmyr Gibbs
PositiveProjection3:41
Jahmyr Gibbs is a top-tier running back and a primary target for the 1.01 draft position. The source highlights that drafting him early, alongside Bijan Robinson, offers a major competitive advantage. He is expected to be a top-five pick and is occasionally used as a high-end production benchmark, having averaged 21 fantasy points per game.
Insight pageJalen Hurts
NegativeProjection16:05
The source significantly prefers Jalen Hurts less in six-point passing touchdown formats compared to four-point formats, noting that other quarterbacks offer better value later. Additionally, Hurts is used as a benchmark for limited passing volume, with the source suggesting Jayden Daniels is not as restricted.
Insight pageJameson Williams
PositiveBreakout14:44
Jameson Williams is the source's highest-rated wide receiver, preferred over a tier of six other options including Luther Burden, Terry McLaurin, Mike Evans, DJ Moore, and Carnell Tate. He is viewed as having a similar draft value to D'Andre Swift in the middle-to-end of the fifth round.
Insight pageJaxon Smith-Njigba
NegativeProjection24:49
The source expects Jaxon Smith-Njigba to be among the first five picks in upcoming drafts.
Insight pageJayden Daniels
PositiveProjection47:01
Jayden Daniels is considered an elite quarterback option, though the source notes that drafting him alongside an elite tight end can leave a team underpowered at other skill positions.
Insight pageJayden Higgins
NegativeDepth Chart33:32
The source mentions Jaden Higgins in the context of a mock draft selection process.
Insight pageNegativeProjection49:51
Jayden Higgins is noted as a draft selection at the 10:09 position.
Insight pageJaylen Waddle
NegativeValue5:18
Jaylen Waddle is consistently identified as a 4.04 draft pick in the source's mock drafts.
Insight pageJaylen Warren
PositiveValue16:43
The source selected Jaylen Warren as their third running back at pick 72, noting that while Rico Dowdle has a legitimate chance to be a starter, Warren remains a priority target.
Insight pageJeremiyah Love
NegativeValue25:37
The source describes the prospect of taking Jeremiah Love in the second round as feeling 'gross'.
Insight pageJoe Burrow
PositiveValue15:49
The source identifies Joe Burrow as a strong value target at the end of the sixth round, particularly in leagues that award six points for passing touchdowns.
Insight pageJordan Addison
NegativeUsage43:02
Jordan Addison is being drafted at the 8.02 position in current drafts, reflecting his middle-round value.
Insight pageJosh Jacobs
NegativeInjury37:13
The source notes that Josh Jacobs is among the players facing potential suspension concerns.
Insight pageJustin Jefferson
NegativeValue10:25
Justin Jefferson is referenced as a historical comparison for Garrett Wilson, and the source notes that seeing him fall to the second round is an unusual occurrence in real money drafts.
Insight pageKeaontay Ingram
PositiveSleeper50:35
The source identifies Keaontay Ingram as a target for a handcuff running back pick immediately following the current draft round.
Insight pageKenneth Walker III
PositiveValue4:19
Kenneth Walker is a key benchmark for the running back tier drop. The source explicitly states that he should be drafted ahead of Trey McBride in the current format.
Insight pageKhalil Herbert
PositiveUsage14:18
The source ranks Khalil Herbert as a top running back and views him as a potential handcuff or replacement for D'Andre Swift, providing insulation for the RB2 slot.
Insight pageKhalil Shakir
PositiveValue50:51
The source selects Khalil Shakir as the pick because both personal rankings and Sleeper ADP align on him as the best available wide receiver.
Insight pageKyle Monangai
NegativeInjury11:32
Kyle Monangai sustained a minor injury, which impacted the source's running back rankings.
Insight pageLadd McConkey
NegativeValue5:18
Ladd McConkey is consistently being selected at the 4.05 position in the source's mock drafts.
Insight pageLamar Jackson
NegativeValue38:44
The source ranks Lamar Jackson highly but prefers to prioritize running back and wide receiver positions after securing an elite tight end. Additionally, Jackson is used as a stylistic comparison for Jayden Daniels due to his expected high rushing volume.
Insight pageMac Jones
Nico Collins
PositiveValue4:16
Nico Collins is a priority target in the second round (2.11) to capitalize on value following a significant tier drop at the running back position. The source prefers him over other options like Trey McBride at the 1.02 turn and is comfortable rostering him as a WR1.
Insight pageParker Washington
PositiveSleeper31:05
The source strongly recommends drafting Parker Washington at the end of the third or beginning of the fourth round, stating they would be disappointed if he is not selected there.
Insight pagePuka Nacua
PositiveValue24:49
The source expects Puka Nacua to be a top-five draft pick and maintains his ranking despite potential suspension and injury concerns, stating they would draft him at pick four in a real money draft.
Insight pageQuentin Johnston
NegativeProjection17:28
The source selected Quentin Johnston as their fourth wide receiver, though they expressed concern that having to draft him at the 6-7 turn represented a worst-case scenario for their roster construction.
Insight pageRashee Rice
NegativeProjection5:11
While the source acknowledges Rashee Rice's high ceiling, he is ranked below George Pickens due to concerns regarding off-field issues.
Insight pageRhamondre Stevenson
NegativeProjection39:21
Rhamondre Stevenson is mentioned as being high in the source's running back rankings, though the source ultimately opted for DK Metcalf at the 7.01 pick.
Insight pageRico Dowdle
PositiveDepth Chart14:51
Rico Dowdle has a very strong chance of being the starting running back for his team. The source acknowledges that drafting him in the ninth round would have been a better strategic move than the selection actually made.
Insight pageSam LaPorta
NegativeDepth Chart43:50
Sam LaPorta was selected at the 8.08 in the draft, though the source is not targeting additional tight ends after already securing Trey McBride.
Insight pageTetairoa McMillan
NegativeValue30:53
The source acknowledges a viewer's suggestion of drafting Tetairoa McMillan at the 3.12, noting they will observe his actual draft position on Saturday.
Insight pageTreVeyon Henderson
PositiveBreakout10:35
TreVeyon Henderson is identified as the "upside pick" at running back. While the source prefers Swift's floor for managed leagues, they acknowledge Henderson has a much higher ceiling, making him the preferred choice for large-field best ball tournaments and the top-ranked running back on Sleeper ADP.
Insight pageTrey McBride
PositiveValue25:42
The source warns against drafting Trey McBride at his Sleeper ADP of 16 due to the Cardinals' poor offensive outlook, but considers him draftable at the 3.02. Conversely, in tight-end premium formats, he is viewed as an elite option and the 1.02 overall pick, having averaged over 30 fantasy points per game in those settings last year compared to his standard 18.5 PPG average. The source notes he should not be taken ahead of players like A.J. Brown, Brock Bowers, or Kenneth Walker in standard formats.
Insight pageTyrone Tracy
PositiveProjection51:33
The source identifies Tyrone Tracy Jr. as one of the two highest-ranked running backs available at this point in the draft.

Episode Transcript
0:00I'm about to take these drafts so seriously you have no idea. Like I am stressed the hell out. So, a lot of
0:07things going on. One, my draft is on Saturday, right? So, we have Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and then I'm drafting.
0:16We are so damn close to being there. And two, I am going to be competing for my draft slot tomorrow morning.
0:25And I'm going to have a good idea. Okay, do I get an early round one pick? Am I going to get a crap pick in the middle
0:32of round one, like at the 107 that I have to prep with?
0:36So, I have a a pretty big physical challenge tomorrow to get a good draft slot. And then obviously, when it comes
0:44to the draft on Saturday, like my entire year hinges on it. It's not even funny. It's >> [sighs] >> It's so damn important to me. And with
0:54these drafts, I almost don't even want to be reading the chat today. I just want to make sure that I am practicing
1:00as intensely as I can, as if this is the real deal, as if it's the Flock League.
1:06And I will remind y'all, my league settings, 12 team, full PPR, double flex, start two wide receivers.
1:14So, that's how I'm going to be drafting this one today. It's also a six-point passing touchdown. And of course, we're going to get this mock draft underway.
1:21And in reality, I've been working so much today. I have to wake up so early tomorrow morning for the draft order
1:26video that I probably should only do one draft today and then call it. But, I need the practice so damn bad. We're
1:33going to have this mock draft. And then of course, we're going to be going over and getting in a real money fantasy
1:40draft as well. Um, where there will be 11 spots. Again, we're going to do the same thing that we always do with this,
1:46where it will be $0 for you to join. I'm going to put $200 in the league pot.
1:51Whoever wins that league is going to get $200 at the end of the season.
1:56So, um, I'm going to do both of these drafts. I If I was smart, I would only draft once today. I would rest up. I
2:03would get some sleep. But, I need as many freaking practice drafts as I can possibly get in.
2:11And yeah, we're going to be drafting at the 1.02 in this one. If I win the draft order competition tomorrow, I'm going to
2:18get to select my draft position first.
2:21And if I get to select my draft position first, this year the first two picks with Bijan and Gibbs give you such an advantage I
2:28feel that I would probably be going with the second pick. Um I think both running backs are very similar. With Bijan
2:35Robinson, I get to selfishly root on the guy that I like.
2:39Um a my University of Texas Longhorn, of of course, you know, I want to go through and cheer him on. So, I will
2:46probably choose that second selection.
2:49And I want to get some practice in it for it right now. So, um if we go with Bijan, I think we'll keep it pretty
2:56simple. I think we'd be looking to go Nico Collins at the 2.11 cuz once Derrick Henry, Kenneth Walker off the board, we'd have a pretty big tier drop
3:03when it comes to the running back position.
3:07And when we have Bijan, we don't have to force a running back here because we already have an anchor. So, we can go
3:11through and we can take Nico and just afford the best wide receivers available. Rashee Rice, George Pickens are the highest ranked according to the
3:21expert average on the site. My rankings do have Pickens over Rice.
3:26It's tough though cuz I obviously see the ceiling case that you have with Rice. I think Pickens gives you the higher floor cuz he's fully healthy. He
3:33didn't have surgery this off-season.
3:35While he's on the field a knucklehead, off the field, he's not nearly as bad as Rashee Rice is.
3:41So, I think we would go wide receiver wide receiver. Now, um I will remind y'all if your drafts are this weekend or next weekend,
3:49whatever it is, for the love of God, be showing up with some damn good draft sheets. If you're drafting on your
3:55computer, make sure you have a real-time draft assistant to help you out the way that I do in these drafts every single
4:00night. And again, y'all know I have been um working tirelessly getting those draft sheets and everything for y'all, getting those real-time draft assistants with the
4:09developers of flockfantasy.com for y'all as well. And shout out to all the developers of flockfantasy.com, they just flew into Austin today. I've been
4:17hanging out with them all day and they have some pretty exciting announcements when it comes to the app. So, so hopefully that flock fantasy app's out
4:25soon. But regardless, the season pass is only 34 bucks if you haven't gotten it already. It's going to be the thing that
4:30prepares you for your draft this year more than anything else. And also, you're going to get access to the weekly rest of season rankings throughout the
4:37entire year, trade calculator, my team's page, the whole nine yards. Just make sure you use code flock when you sign up
4:42and you will be getting free start/sit trade questions you can ask me during the season in my live streams. And I'm
4:47going to be live streaming every single day until Christmas. Link's in the description and is in the comment section.
4:53Now, BJN says, "Does the flock season pass have a live draft assistant for Yahoo leagues?" Yes, sir, the flock season pass have has draft sheets
5:03available for Yahoo, ESPN, Sleeper, CBS, FFPC. The flock draft assistant has a live draft assistant for ESPN, Yahoo, and Sleeper.
5:15So, hopefully that clarifies that.
5:18Okay. Now, Jaylen Waddle goes at the 404, Ladd McConkey goes 405.
5:27Colson Loveland off at 406. It's fancy says, "Does the draft assistant work with the ESPN? Not sure how to turn it
5:33on." Yes, sir, works with ESPN. If you go and look at my draft strategy video, you can see me using it on every
5:38platform. If you're having any problems turning it on or just figuring it out, if you email support@flockfantasy.com, one of the devs and/or Sammy would be
5:48super happy to walk you through it and explain how to do it. Just email support@flockfantasy.com.
5:55Now, let's see Bucky Irving off the board at the 409. We have Davante Adams goes to the 410. I'm easily going to be taking
6:04Garrett Wilson here. Again, if this happened in the flock league and I had the ability to take a wide receiver in
6:09this range, it would be a no-brainer because we are able to start four wide receivers weekly and it's a full PPR
6:15format with it having two flex spots.
6:17So, Garrett Wilson at the 405 turn would be phenomenal. It's probably not going to happen. Like obviously, if y'all remember back in the day, Bush took
6:25Garrett Wilson in round one of the flock league over Jefferson. Insane. Um but Wilson then Jamo, Terry, Olave. We do have
6:35running backs in this range. If you wanted to go for the security, the security pick is De'Andre Swift. The upside pick is TreVeyon Henderson.
6:44Damn. It's I think I need to move De'Andre Swift ahead of TreVeyon in my rankings based on the reports that we
6:52have out of New England so far. And also, Kyle Manang I did get slightly banged up. So, now that I'm on the clock
6:58and I'm having to make that decision myself, I do think push comes to shove in the flock league draft. While they're in the same tier
7:06and honestly, you can kind of go whatever you direction you want.
7:10I think I would take TreVeyon Henderson after De'Andre Swift. I think we're going to move Henderson down these rankings slightly. Maybe it'd be
7:17different in a best ball tournament of course where there's so much money up at the very top and you want the highest
7:22ceiling possible. And I do think that TreVeyon has a much higher ceiling than De'Andre Swift. I think the Swift floor is much higher than TreVeyon. So, we'll
7:31take Swift as our second running back at the 502. Now, I see a bunch of questions in the chat regarding asking like about
7:38the draft order video and how we are doing everything for the flock League.
7:42So, what's going to happen tomorrow morning is tomorrow morning we are doing our draft order challenge. Whoever wins the challenge is going to get their first
7:51selection of where they choose their draft pick from. Whoever gets second place in the challenge will get their second selection, right? So, if you win
7:59the challenge and you think the best pick in drafts this year is the 111, you take the 111. You get it. You get first
8:05call. I don't think anybody's going to do that. I think they'll take pick one or pick two. But, you'll see all the way
8:11down the line. Obviously, the person who gets third in the competition will get the third pick um of whatever's remaining, right? If the first two
8:18people take the 101 and the 111, then the person who got third in the competition could take the 102.
8:24Hopefully, that makes sense to everybody. And then whoever gets dead last, they have to draft from the pick that nobody else wanted.
8:31But, we are not going to know what picks those are until right before our draft.
8:37So, we're going to do the competition tomorrow morning.
8:41You're going to know, "Hey, I won the competition." And you'll secretly know where you are going to draft cuz you're going to get to pick first. But, if you
8:48got dead last, you're not going to know until day of. And right before we do our draft, we are then going to be choosing
8:55our draft selections. So, we're going to be drafting our draft slots right before we do our actual draft.
9:02And that makes it that much more important to win the competition because hypothetically say I win it tomorrow, then I'm going to lock in the 102. And
9:11every single day through the rest of this week, I'm going to be only drafting at the 102. I'm going to try so many
9:17different starts. I'm going to try so many different variations. I'm going to look at if the draft went this way, if
9:22the draft went that way, what would I do here in round six, what would I do in round seven.
9:26So, I am really freaking hoping I win this competition. Nerves are at an all-time high.
9:33And yeah, we'll see how this goes.
9:37Okay.
9:40Now, Mac Jones Lemon off the board at the 608.
9:49Now, Lemon typically has been sliding a bit here. Interesting to see the Lamar slide. Burrow goes at the 610.
9:56Six-point passing touchdown league, I'll very easily take Burrow at the end of the sixth. Right now, our rankings have Hurts and Caleb. I like Hurts way less
10:03in a six-point passing touchdown format as opposed to a four. I think we're going to take Jaylen Warren at 72.
10:10We'll take Jaylen Warren as our third running back. There's very much a chance that Rico Dowdle is the starter, but we
10:15would roll the dice here. And then again, four-point passing touchdown format, I'm going to take Jaylen Hurts, but in a six-point league, like Dak Prescott's
10:24just as good and you can get him later.
10:25So, here I'd be waiting on quarterback instead. Caleb goes at the 612.
10:33Okay.
10:35DK Metcalf off at the 701.
10:43What? Do we take our fourth running back or our fourth wide receiver? I'm not taking Jaylen Hurts.
10:48We're going to go Quentin Johnston. I was rocking the Quentin Johnston jersey all day today. I think this would be pretty much worst-case scenario at the
10:536-7 turn.
10:57Like to have to go Warren then Quentin Johnston would just be really, really bad.
11:04Tucker Kraft at the 703. And then, oh yeah, let me tell y'all how long it's going to take the videos to get
11:10uploaded. So, the draft order competition video is going to need about a day to be edited. So, we're going to record it tomorrow morning. We're going
11:17to do our competition, and then the video should be out the next day. So, today is Tuesday. We're going to do our
11:23draft order competition on Wednesday.
11:26That video's going to get posted on Thursday. Then we are going to do the 24-hour diner punishment for Danny where Danny has to stay inside a diner for 24
11:37hours and every pancake that he eats takes 1 hour off. And that is going to be live streamed on the Flock League
11:44channel. So, of course, I am sure that everybody watching this already is subscribed to that channel. But, if you haven't already,
11:54um I highly recommend subscribing.
11:56There's going to be um in my opinion absolute gold there.
12:00It's my favorite YouTube channel on the planet. I am very biased.
12:03But, yes, make sure you go through and subscribe to the Flock League channel.
12:09That's where you're going to see the Flock League draft. That's where you're going to see our draft order competition. Jynxzi officially just got
12:16us his first clip for the Flock League as well. I know a lot of people have been saying that um Jynxzi is uh our announcements of
12:26Jynxzi joining the league, they're AI, they don't believe that it's happening, and I completely understand that.
12:33If I were y'all, I would also think that we were lying about Jynxzi joining the league and it was AI that I edited it
12:39together.
12:40But, somehow, some way, it's actually a reality.
12:44He's actually in.
12:47He just got us his first clip.
12:52And it's unbelievable.
12:54We're We're living a dream. I already had the best job in the entire planet, the best life in the entire planet. Yes, I
13:01know I sound arrogant when I say that, but come on, I get to freaking talk fantasy football for a living.
13:06And now freaking Jynxzi, the goat, is in the league with us.
13:13So, freaking pumped. When I saw that clip he submitted, I was like, "Oh, man.
13:18It's real.
13:20It's freaking real."
13:23Okay. And Fuji Apple, I appreciate you hanging out with us in the chat so much.
13:28I did just go ahead and make you a moderator.
13:31Um I need to be better about making people mods in the chat. I used to do it a bunch a few years ago. And
13:39then I stopped and I never do it anymore, but Vinnie, who obviously y'all know Vinnie is a mod, he does a ton of
13:46drafts with us.
13:47Um he emailed me yesterday and was like, "Hey man, you probably want to make Fuji a mod. He's out here every night." And I
13:52was like, "Good point, good point." So, Fuji, you are officially a moderator.
13:56You can thank Vinnie for it. He shot me the email to remind you.
14:01Okay.
14:03Now, Chris Godwin goes at the 808.
14:11Courtland Sutton 809. Um for us, quarterback's going to be the play. Like Dak Prescott's the easy selection here.
14:18Look at the expert average rankings. It goes Herbert then Dak.
14:22Um looking at the overall statistics for them the past few years, like Dak just from a per game perspective has been
14:28better. And at the same time, Dak just can potentially lead the NFL in passing touchdowns. So, six-point passing touchdown league, I really like the idea
14:36of grabbing Dak Prescott. You can make a damn strong argument, "Mason, what are you doing? You're an idiot. That team right after you already has Caleb
14:44Williams. You can guarantee yourself either Dak Prescott or Justin Herbert at the beginning of the ninth. Why don't you take Rico Dowdle instead?" And what
14:52I would say to that is it's a phenomenal point and you are correct. I should have done that, but I wasn't paying attention
14:58and we freaking sold. We're going to take Harold Fannin here at the beginning of the ninth round as our first tight
15:04end. So, now running back one, we have Bijan. Running back two, we have De'Andre Swift. Running back three, we have Jaylen Warren. Wide receiver one,
15:12we have Nico Collins. Wide receiver two, we have George Pickens. Wide receiver three, we have Garrett Wilson. Wide receiver four, we have Quinton Johnston.
15:20QB1 Dak Prescott. I really like that in the 6-point passing touchdown league.
15:24Tight end one, Harold Fannin. So, honestly, I really like this team. I'm going to be honest, we kind of get lucky
15:30because having pick two sets you up for success in a way that having pick seven just simply doesn't. Having pick seven,
15:37you're in a tough spot through the entire freaking draft. So, again, it's going to be so damn important for me to
15:47just lock in, freaking win the competition tomorrow.
15:52I'm so tired. I am so nervous. I'm so stressed.
15:58I need the win.
16:01I freaking need it. I need Bijan on my team.
16:06Like, if y'all go back and look at like my performances in the Flock League the past 2 years, the first year I finished
16:12with the second best record, I got a buy into the playoffs, and it was all off the back of me drafting Ja'Marr Chase. I
16:19took Ja'Marr Chase in the first round, and honestly, the rest of my draft was whatever. I didn't have that good of a
16:24team behind Ja'Marr Chase, but Chase was such a good player in fantasy 2 years ago. It didn't matter. I had the second
16:32best record in the league, right? I got that buy into the playoffs.
16:35Last year, we were able to wheel and deal, made some phenomenal trades, and it got us to that second place, but
16:46we need something to put us over the edge. I'm tired of getting second.
16:50I want to go ahead and win the freaking league.
16:57And let's let's do it.
16:59Now, Tristan says, "Who is Jynxy?" Um let me pull this up. I actually looks like I have garbage internet right now.
17:07Um I apologize if the internet's bad.
17:10Hopefully, me getting my phone off the Wi-Fi just helped. But, I'll pull up um Um, give Jynxy a shout-out in case
17:17anybody doesn't know who he is. He is just simply the goat. When it comes to live streaming, nobody is better.
17:27I will say I miss the Clash Royale stuff. I'll put it out there. I'll be honest.
17:31But, this is Jinxy, the newest member of the Flock League in case anybody didn't know.
17:38He live streams every single day. Y'all know how I live stream every single day?
17:42I live stream every single day for about an hour. This dude live streams every single day for like today his live
17:47stream was 7 and 1/2 hours. 6 and 1/2. 6 and 1/2.
17:51Almost 7. Almost 8.
17:54This is what a real monster looks like.
17:57And we are going to be teaching him a thing or two about fantasy football in the Flock League this year. And I'm the
18:01luckiest person on the planet to be able to do just that.
18:06Okay.
18:08Now, Kino says, "Will Jinxy be there tomorrow?" Sadly, Jinxy is not going to be there in person tomorrow. Davis is going to be doing his in person stuff,
18:19and Jinxy is going to be submitting clips remotely. Um, he joined the league like 3 days ago.
18:25So, obviously it was um with his streaming schedule, it's just impossible to get him to fly out with 48 hours notice.
18:35Okay.
18:37Jasmine says, "Mason, how will you be sending out that link today?" So, just in case y'all are new here, I send out a
18:42link for y'all to join a fantasy football league with me every single night. Every single night on the stream.
18:48The buy-ins are anywhere from $200 to $500 for me. For y'all, it's completely free. And if you join that league and you win, you win the 200 bucks,
18:59right? That's what I put into the league pot tonight. You get second place, you get a nice little pat on the back, and
19:04I'll tell you I'm proud of you.
19:06But, you only get the money if you get first. So, it'll happen at the end of the season through LeagueSafe. So,
19:12everything's very easily tracked.
19:14And, yeah. How I'm probably going to be sending the link tonight is honestly effort. It's so late. I don't want to be
19:20wasting a bunch of time posting it on Instagram, posting it on Twitter, etc., etc. I am just going to be sending the
19:27link to our league in the live chats.
19:31And, look at the live chat right now, cuz I'm just going to go ahead and try to pull up that link the second. I will
19:37say where we just did this first draft was flockfantasy.com. If y'all don't know, there are public mock draft lobbies on flockfantasy.com that are
19:45completely free to join. This was draft 481,000 on flockfantasy.com. So, as you can tell, there are a decent amount that go
19:53down every day. And, yeah. Make sure you go ahead, hop in a draft.
19:58Uh completely free on the site if you ever wanted to draft against some people and get in some real practice against
20:03guys that care a decent amount. Now, we are not taking another quarterback here.
20:07We're pretty much exclusively running back and receiver. Um we'll see what this team does that has Jaden Higgins.
20:12They go Baker Mayfield. I'll take Aaron Jones at the end of the 10th round. Um Aaron Jones should be the starting
20:18running back or at least has a chance to be the starting running back for a much improved offense.
20:22But, let me go ahead and grab that link to the new league. And, as soon as I get it, I am sending it into the chat.
20:29Um using my rankings on the site, my rankings have me as the second best team in the league. Um they have me with the
20:38eighth best quarterback room.
20:40They have me with the fourth best running back room, the eighth best wide receiver room, and the seventh best tight end room. So, not super strong
20:46anywhere.
20:48But, um not really weak anywhere either. So, we just sent that link in the chat for anybody wanting to join this draft. It's
20:57right there.
20:58And, top tier rivals says Jinx won 2023 gamer of the year, by the way. Well, he ain't winning 2026 fantasy player of
21:07the year. I'll tell you that much.
21:08Now, looks like we should have everybody in here. Let me refresh.
21:14Okay, we need to assign somebody, I guess.
21:18Yeah, we need to assign this guy here 12.
21:21Bam, they are in. I don't recognize any of these names. If somebody's gotten in twice, good on you. I don't have the time to
21:28double-check that. We just got to freaking rip it. So, let me go ahead, set the draft to today. We're going to
21:33randomize the order, and I swear to God, I am done drafting on this platform if they do not give me a good pick.
21:40I am done getting pick seven. I am done giving me pick eight. Don't give me this crap again.
21:46Don't give it to me again. Give me something respectable.
21:50Oh, thank God. Back-to-back drafts we get to practice at two. This is the motivation that I need for this draft competition. Let's kick this thing off.
22:02I will make the screen smaller so you can see the entire draft board here. And obviously, if you are using our draft
22:08sheets, um you will be taking Bijan Robinson with the second pick, assuming Gibbs goes at the 101. Gibbs does go at one,
22:16we are going to take Bijan Robinson at two. We're going to keep that stupid simple. And then, I'm not moving Puka
22:22Nacua down my rankings. I understand a lot of people are maybe a little concerned about the stuff that came out today where Schefty said, like, "Oh,
22:30yeah, Puka can still get suspended."
22:33Puka and Jacobs, they can still get suspended. Oh, Puka left early with an injury. If I had to draft a real money
22:40fantasy draft today, you know where I take Puka Nacua? At pick four.
22:46Maybe if you were extremely concerned, he would slide down to five.
22:53Right? But until we get more information, I am not moving him any lower than that.
23:02This guy just has to stay in.
23:06Okay. Jayden says, "Are you able to use the draft assistant on mobile?" In terms of the floating draft assistant that automatically updates as you go through
23:14your draft, that's going to be a computer thing only. If you are on mobile, I would either recommend downloading and printing off the draft
23:22sheets or just going through and using the draft sheets as you go. Like you can cross players off as they get
23:29drafted, add guys to your team. Again, just make sure you put in your accurate league settings here. That way you get
23:36the custom draft sheet that are made specifically for your league settings.
23:41Um the draft sheets on desktop, that's like the live draft assistant, that's automatically going to detect your league settings, so you don't have to
23:50manually put those in. But if you are on flockfantasy.com using that draft sheet section, just make sure you put in your
23:57exact league settings cuz you'll get different draft sheets for different league settings.
24:02Okay.
24:04Now, let's lay remind y'all real quick.
24:09Um if you have not done so already, if you wanted to enter in to win a free flockfantasy.com season pass, all you
24:16need to do is drop a like on the stream and type the word season pass into the live chat. You do those two things,
24:26you'll be entered to get a free one. And this is maybe the first real money draft that I've seen Justin Jefferson fall to
24:32the second round.
24:34Um in terms of how I would project this out, with like is this different than what I'm
24:45going to be expecting in my draft on Saturday? Not really.
24:49I would be shocked if my draft on Saturday did not go with the first five picks being Gibbs, Bijan, Chase, Puka,
24:55JSN. Maybe we get some Puka-Nakua information by that point.
25:02But, we will see.
25:04Now, Bowers off at the 2.06.
25:14When we start Bijan, what just feels so good is like we don't have to stress about a running back making it to the second
25:24round.
25:27If you have the 1.03 and you have Jamar Chase, you're like, "Man, crap."
25:31Like, the best pick on the board is going to be wide receiver in round two.
25:37If I wanted a running back, I have to take Jeremiah Love. That feels gross.
25:42So, looking at Sleeper ADP, they have Trey McBride as the highest ranked name.
25:47My draft sheets for these league settings, which is a full PPR double flex, will have Nico Collins instead.
25:53So, just like the expert ranking on flockfantasy.com, we are going to I'm sorry, just like the expert mock draft we did on flockfantasy.com right
26:04before this, we are going to start with Bijan and Nico at the 1.02. I just think it's a very stable, very well-balanced
26:10start.
26:12Now, Pickens and Neighbors go off the board at the 2-3 turn. Now, at this point, Trey McBride would become my highest ranked player here. Again,
26:21Sleeper ADP has him at 16. If you take him up here, you are just crazy. The Arizona Cardinals project to be the
26:28worst offense in the league, even if McBride averaged 18.5 fantasy points per game last season. No way in hell you could take him um ahead of these guys
26:37like A.J. Brown, Brock Bowers.
26:41In this format, you can't take him ahead of the starters like Kenneth Walker.
26:46But, here, when he falls to the third, this is where things become intriguing, and this is where he becomes draftable, so I will take Trey McBride at the 302.
26:59Now, Sports Ball reports his favorite NBA team, question mark. So, I don't have a favorite NFL team. Reason being is I grew up in San Antonio. In San
27:09Antonio, we don't have an NFL team, and I actually started playing fantasy football before I ever even really started watching NFL games.
27:18But, I do have a favorite NBA team because what team does San Antonio have? What games were I actually was I actually
27:26able to go to as a kid? Only games I could go to as a kid were the San Antonio Spurs, so
27:32I am a Spurs fan. I am the most fair-weather fan you will ever meet.
27:38Like, I would say bandwagon is not a good way to describe me because I'm not jumping on the Dodgers train, right? I'm
27:46not going and jumping on the Seattle Seahawks fandom now because they won the Super Bowl. I'm a fair-weather fan where I went to the University of
27:57Texas, so I root for my Longhorns, but if we start off really bad, we lose the I mean, back in the day, we lose the
28:04Texas Tech on Thanksgiving, I'm like, all right, I'm out. I'm done rooting for y'all for the rest of the year. We have
28:09no chance to do anything. And same thing with the San Antonio Spurs, the years in which we were garbage, I'm not watching
28:16the games every night. What's the point?
28:19But, now that we are good again, hell, I'm back. All right. So, I know people absolutely hate fair-weather fans in sports, but I'm going to be honest with
28:27y'all. That's exactly who I am.
28:30If there are very few teams that I root for, they're really just the Longhorns and the Spurs.
28:38When they are good, I will be excited. I will root for them intensely. I will watch the games.
28:45Like, I went to the Spurs Thunder game six, incredible game in the conference finals this past year. It was a ton of
28:52fun.
28:53But if you're garbage, I ain't going.
28:57And I I know people absolutely hate that, but I've said my peace before.
29:01It's my opinion. It's an incorrect opinion according to a lot of people, but it's mine nonetheless and I'm going to say it.
29:07I don't think the New York Jets should have any fans.
29:12If you've been garbage for 20 plus years, if you're the Cleveland Browns, I don't think you should have any fans.
29:20I think people should stop going to your games. I think the ownership that is clearly garbage and making the team bad
29:26for 20 30 years should start losing money because of it and be forced to sell the team to people who know what
29:34they're doing and competent owners from a top down. So I think like supporting a team that's just bad for a season is whatever, right? I'm not
29:44going to clown anybody that's um supporting call it the Tennessee Titans cuz the Titans have been bad lately, but at least the Titans
29:54had a stretch of years where they were going to the AFC they were winning playoff games, right? They were a competitive football team. They were at
30:00the top of the AFC.
30:02But if you're like rooting for the Browns, why?
30:09It's like you've literally been going to the same restaurant that feeds you turd sandwiches every day for 30 years and
30:18going right back to them.
30:22I would just stop going.
30:24You know, stop going until that restaurant changes owners and then all of a sudden maybe you can try it again.
30:30But that that owner ain't you ain't doing you any favors.
30:35Okay.
30:38Paul says the Lions used to be like that. That is 100% true. The Lions used to be like that Not one that I rooted
30:43for. If I lived in Detroit, I would not have been a Lions fan for years and years and years until they were good and
30:50then I'd have been like, "Okay, I can root for you now."
30:53Zoufa says, "Teteroa at the 312, mods blow up that guy's house."
30:59Okay, my friend. Okay. We'll see where he goes in the draft on Saturday.
31:05If you are not taking Parker Washington at the end of the third, the beginning of the fourth, I'll be disappointed.
31:13Okay.
31:15Teteroa, I mean, Travis Etienne off at the 408.
31:23I don't want to say anything until we are on the clock. We have the anchor running back with Bijan. We have the
31:27elite tight end with McBride. Obviously, when we have McBride here, there's no way that we are going through and we are
31:32taking another tight end. We are done with McBride in that set.
31:37Davante Adams goes to the 409.
31:49I have Lamar pretty high in our draft sheets here. I don't think I want to take Lamar Jackson though when we have
31:55the elite tight end. I think I would rather go running back wide receiver.
32:00Montgomery goes to the 410. My highest rate receiver is Jameson Williams. I agree with the sleeper ADP there.
32:06My highest rate running back is De'Andre Swift. Sleeper ADP has it as Bucky Irving.
32:18Both guys will have very easily get on the way back at the 502.
32:22I'm going to take Jamo and then we'll get De'Andre Swift at the 502.
32:28Again, if you wanted to make an argument for Burden, Terry, Evans, DJ Moore, Carnell Tate over Jameson Williams, you do you. I'm not going to fault you for
32:35it. I think the of the matter is, it's a massive massive tier of wide receivers there. There are like six guys that you
32:42consider consider. For me, Jameson Williams is my pick between the options though.
32:48I would be more excited about Bucky Irving if they didn't just give freaking Kenneth Gainwell and Sean Tucker so much money this off season.
32:56And then we are going to go with the running back with our next one. My rankings have it as Swift then Touton.
33:02Um Sleeper ADP does have Treyveon as the top guy. I think in a large field best ball tournament where we needed to chase
33:08the highest ceiling possible, I'd go Treyveon here.
33:11But in a managed redraft league, I'm just going to go for the floor of De'Andre Swift.
33:19And again, I apologize. I know we are hiding our draft sheets here. I'll show you all the rankings on flockfantasy.com how they have them. They have Touton,
33:26Henderson, Evans, Lamar, Luther Burden as the ranks.
33:32But as y'all can tell, I am going off of my rankings, not the expert average on the site.
33:40Evans does get the 503. If you look at my rankings, I have Lamar and Terry. I have Lamar as the last guy left in this
33:47tier.
33:50Okay.
33:57Donald says, "I got a season pass member of the flock now. Is there a way I can make my own tweaks to an expert ranking?
34:03Like if I wanted to wait raise or lower players?" Yes, sir. If you go to the rankings page, at the very top, you
34:09should see a button that says create rankings. You can create rankings and from there you can import an expert like my own or maybe you want to import
34:19Danny's, whoever it may be. Obviously, there are a ton of experts on flockfantasy.com.
34:24And then from there you can say, "Oh, Mason, he's too low on Derrick Henry.
34:27I'm going to move Derrick Henry up. Oh, he's too high end of Achane. I'm going to move Devon Achane down. And then you
34:33can use those to power all the tools across flockfantasy.com, um whether it's the my teams page, whether it is the trade calculator,
34:41whether it's um your portfolio page, you can do anything that you want with that.
34:51But yeah, hopefully that makes sense.
34:54Now, ooh, Goddy says $200 label not on screen. Thank you for the shout, my friend. Yes, this is a $200 draft here.
35:04Okay. My man says, "Why is that premium though? Importing experts makes sense for that, but there should be an option for your own free ranks." Here's the
35:11deal, if we had to host everybody's free rankings on flockfantasy.com unconditionally, the devs were worried that it was going to be slowing down our
35:21database and skyrocketing our AWS bills.
35:25So, obviously, there are free things on flockfantasy.com as well, such as going through and looking at the expert average ranks. That's free.
35:34Um but they're using the mock draft stuff, that's free.
35:38But some of the stuff on flockfantasy.com, we have to make paid.
35:43We have to pay the developers on flockfantasy.com.
35:47And at the same time, some of the stuff, again, I don't know if we opened up to anybody who plays fantasy football to
35:55host their own rankings and tiers on flockfantasy.com for free, at that point, are we having to track a hundred thousand different sets of
36:04rankings?
36:09Okay.
36:11Lucas says, "Are you adding the Chrome extension to other platforms like FFPC?"
36:15Probably not. As of now, the draft assistant is live for your ESPN, your Yahoo, your Sleeper,
36:25um your best ball drafts as well, like on Underdog, like on DK.
36:30But, in terms of adding the live draft assistant to CBS, adding it to FFPC, adding it to mfl.com, the amount of people that play on those
36:41platforms are so, so small that we have the draft sheets on flockfantasy.com available for them, but supporting like the real-time draft overlay with the
36:53Google Chrome stuff probably doesn't make as much sense cuz we want our dev team focus all their attention, if they can, to the Sleeper, ESPN, Yahoo
37:03versions of those cuz that's what 95% of fantasy players are on.
37:09Um, whether you disagree with uh my reasoning and you think I'm being an idiot, by all means, you're welcome to think that. I'm just being
37:19honest with you.
37:23Okay.
37:28Now, after we take Swift, the only other running backs that have gone are Trevian Bachel Tooton and Generian Price.
37:40Obviously, you see the massive run of receivers at the 5.10 all the way through the 6.06. So, now that I'm getting ready for
37:48our next pick, I don't want to say anything until we're on the clock, but I think you'll probably know what I'm
37:56thinking.
38:02Gabriel says, "Is Jynxy going to have rankings on the site?" Jynxy is more than welcome to have rankings on flockfantasy.com, but I'm going to be honest with you.
38:11One, I have no idea if he's any good at fantasy football.
38:14My We'll see. We'll see in the draft.
38:18And two, I don't think he has the time.
38:21I think he's a very busy individual. My rankings have Jayden Daniels as the highest rated guy. I'm going to be honest though, with the Laremy Tunsil
38:28injury, it is pretty scary, but we are going to go Daniels at the 611.
38:33He is a little less enticing in a 6-point passing touchdown format in comparison to a four. Is it a four-point passing touchdown league? Typically, you
38:40want to go for those quarterbacks that are just going to give you a ton of rushing volume.
38:44But, Jayden Daniels is kind of like Lamar.
38:47The rushing volume's going to be there, but he still does have a pretty high ceiling when it comes to passing touchdowns. He's not as bad as like
38:53Jalen Hurts or anything when it comes to passing volume. So, we'll take Daniels at the 611.
38:59But, I'm not going to sit here and act like it's the best pick I've ever made.
39:04Okay.
39:13Michael goes 701.
39:18My wide receiver rankings have Metcalf.
39:21My running back rankings have Ramondre.
39:25I think we go Metcalf here.
39:27It's a double flex format. I think we want some floor and we want somebody that we know we're going to be able to
39:32put into that second flex spot. And while DK Metcalf does have a cap ceiling based on this offense and what we've seen
39:40throughout his entire NFL career, he is just printing top 30 wide receiver seasons year in and year out. So, the floor is pretty solid for us to
39:50for him to be somebody that we can trust putting in
39:58a flex in a full PPR 12-team league.
40:03Okay.
40:06Armando says, "Mason, do you train and run at the Austin Lake?" Yes, but I'm going to be honest.
40:13We are I am slacking with my working out stuff.
40:20I have never been this busy before with everything on flockfantasy.com, the flock league stuff, obviously. We just had like 20 people flying to Austin
40:29that we are hosting for the flock league. It's absolutely crazy at this point.
40:33I'm doing daily videos on this channel, daily live streams on this channel.
40:37So, my workout stuff has completely ceased to exist lately, which I absolutely hate, but it is what it is.
40:47Cry me a river. I got too much fantasy football in my life. Cry, cry, cry, cry.
40:52Right? But, sadly, I have not been able to do that. F non says, "If I buy the season pass for 34 right now, will it
40:59ever be Will it be the same price next year or a new at 94?"
41:04We will never Like, you will never sign up to a subscription on flockfantasy.com and then be that subscription price will be raised.
41:14So, if like you sign up for the season pass for this year at 34 bucks and you stay on the season pass plan, like
41:21hypothetically, say we were to jump the season pass to $39 in 2027, if you got it for $34 this year and
41:29stayed on the same plan, you would be locked in at $34.
41:34It would be the slimiest and schemiest thing ever if we were like, "Oh, yeah.
41:40Hey, you want something for a dollar?
41:42Well, we're going to charge you $200 next year for the same thing cuz we got your credit card info."
41:48Pretty sure it'd be illegal. We're definitely not doing that.
41:52Okay.
41:54All star gamer says, "How should I approach my tight end premium league where there is plus two points per reception and first down
42:01for tight ends specifically?"
42:03Uh I'm assuming Bowers is the one on one in that league?
42:11You're saying that Let's do some math here. You're saying the tight end position gets an extra two points per reception
42:23and two points per first down.
42:27Trey McBride last year averaged 18.5 fantasy points per game, but in those league settings, he averaged over 30.
42:36Jahmyr Gibbs as an example, averaged 21. So, if the tight end position's going to get an extra two points per game
42:47and additional points per first down, and you don't have any crazy bonuses for the other positions, um Brock Bowers is the 1.01, Trey
42:54McBride's the 1.02.
42:56You move them up in a crazy, crazy way.
43:02Now, Jordan Addison goes to the 8.02. I like our team, guys. I love our team.
43:13Not really. I don't regret the McBride pick. The only thing that felt very awkward about our draft, like the first three rounds I like. I like the 6-7
43:22turn. The only thing I don't like is the 4-5 turn.
43:25Jaymo De'Andre Swift feels very weak because Jameson Williams and De'Andre Swift are like almost identical to the guys that go there in the middle to the end of the
43:37fifth rounds.
43:40But, like I don't see what the alternative is. Like I don't see any players that we passed on where I'm like, "Oh my god, we
43:50needed them." I think it's just we fell into a the very top of a really flat tier, which kind of sucks to be. You want to
43:58be the person drafting like the last wide receiver in the tier, not the first wide receiver in the tier if there's going to be somebody that's
44:05the same going 12 picks later.
44:08Okay.
44:13Now, Sam LaPorta at the 808. For us, when we have McBride, I'm not taking another tight end, so it's good seeing these tight ends get
44:19drafted.
44:27Okay.
44:30Sleeper ADP has Myers as the highest rate receiver. I'm sure I have Alec Pierce.
44:36God damn, Caleb is still available.
44:39Caleb falls so far in these drafts.
44:43I'm really only looking at running back and wide receiver those are picks here.
44:50Wan'Dale goes, I'm taking Alec Pierce. I know everybody is very concerned about the Alec Pierce stuff.
44:56I just think it'd be so damn weird if they paid Alec Pierce that type of money for this injury to actually linger into
45:08the season.
45:10They give him $84 million guaranteed.
45:16I know obviously it's very different between running back and wide receiver, but let's keep in mind Alec Pierce just got $84 million guaranteed. Jahmyr Gibbs
45:27just got $51 million guaranteed.
45:34I would want to assume that this team checked out the ankle.
45:40They took it very serious, and it's not the end of the world. My rankings have Kyle Manangay as the top running back, honestly just like Sleeper
45:48ADP, so we're going to follow him there.
45:50We will take Kyle Manangay at the 908.
45:52Now, you may say, "Mason, you already have De'Andre Swift." This could play out a couple different ways.
45:57The best case scenario, absolute dream scenario, you take De'Andre Swift and Khalil Mignon guy on the same team.
46:04Ben Johnson somehow, some way turns this Chicago Bears offense into the Detroit Lions offense with the combination of
46:14David Montgomery, Jamaal Gibbs.
46:20Jamaal Williams, Jamaal Gibbs. Is it likely? No, it's not going to happen.
46:27But, we can at least say it in a live stream and act like it may not be the worst thing in the world if we take
46:31these running backs in rounds five and nine. The most realistic case is oh, De'Andre Swift is like a running back two to start the season. If Khalil
46:39Mignon guy replaces him, then we do have some insulation there as our running back two slot. And then obviously, if either one of these running backs get
46:46injured, the other guy absolutely crushes. So, am I specifically going out of my way to target Khalil Mignon guy on teams in which I
46:55drafted De'Andre Swift? No, I'm not going out of my way to target him. But, if I think he's the best running back on
47:01the board and I need a running back, sure, I'll take him.
47:06Okay.
47:09Now, we have Pitts and George Kittle immediately going after.
47:23Gainwell 905, Deebo, Dobbs, Myers go 906, 907, 908.
47:31I mean, this team, I think it's well balanced. Of course, we have the elite quarterback, elite tight end with McBride and Daniels. And typically, when
47:37you do that, you are going to be underpowered at both running back and receiver. But, running back, Bijan obviously elite RB1. De'Andre Swift, I'm
47:45okay having him as my running back two.
47:47Khalil Mignon guy, I'm okay having him as my running back three.
47:53As we go over look at receiver, Nico Collins, I'm okay having him as my wide receiver one.
47:58Jamo, I'm okay having him as my wide receiver two. I'm okay having Metcalf as my wide receiver three, and I'm okay
48:04having wide receiver four, Alec Pierce.
48:08Again, am I going to sit here and say running back and receiver are particularly strong? Of course they're not.
48:13We drafted Trey McBride and Jayden Daniels. You draft Trey McBride and Jayden Daniels, you are going to be under weighted at the skill positions
48:19because you took a tight end in round three and a tight end in round I mean a quarterback in round six.
48:26But, if we do have these guys crush, we could be in a really good spot.
48:36>> Okay.
48:41>> Now, it is good for us, of course, to see any quarterbacks or tight ends off the board. I'll say it is six-point
48:46passing touchdown league. It's a great pick to get Dak Prescott at the 9.12.
48:50It's a great pick to get Justin Herbert at the 9.09.
49:00Sports Ball says, "Are you hosting the flock guys at your house or at an Airbnb?"
49:05I have about the tiniest house anybody could ever make.
49:11So, hosting 20 people here, I don't think there would be enough space on the ground for people to sleep, to be honest.
49:21So, no, they are not being hosted at my house. They came to my house first before we could check into the Airbnb,
49:27but the second we got to check into the Airbnb, everybody went over there.
49:31And we got two Airbnbs. So, I'm the only one sleeping in mi casa. Obviously, my brother Actually, I have two brothers
49:39here right now. One's on the couch, and Mrs. Flock.
49:43But, everybody else at an Airbnb.
49:51Yeah, says, "Mason speaks the truth. I am not sharing the attic. That is true.
49:56Zuba says I'm in Mason's bed right now.
49:58If you were in my bed with Mrs. Flock, we'd have It'd be a very interesting conversation, my friend.
50:04Be a very interesting Tik Tok me walking in on that. Tell you that much.
50:11Okay, Jayden Higgins at the 10:09. Chris Rodriguez goes here.
50:17Okay.
50:20I'm going to ignore quarterbacks and God, we're going to go running back.
50:27We're going to take a couple handcuffs.
50:33You know what we're going to do?
50:35We're going to take Charbs.
50:37Maybe this is me just absolutely selling.
50:40Again, this league has an IR slot, so I need to actually move Charbonnet up my rankings because we can put him in that dedicated
50:47IR.
50:51And we could pick up another handcuff running back right after this draft like Keaontay Davis.
50:59And then the other handcuff running backs we'd be looking at we can get in the on the way back.
51:09And wide receiver is just gross at this.
51:11I I guess he could go Shakir.
51:14Yeah, my rankings and Sleeper ADP both have Shakir as the pick.
51:19Our wide receiver room's pretty gross after We'll go Shakir and then we're just going to slam handcuff running backs.
51:26I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to move Zach Charbonnet up my rankings. I will reiterate though, I know we've
51:30talked about this in live streams and videos.
51:33I hope that you do really understand how to adjust to your league settings though because like if you're playing in a league with no IR
51:41slot, you should not be taking Zach Charbonnet here. But I'm going to move Charbonnet up to the top of the tier
51:46that we had him at running back 43. Just so again, if I'm drafting, I want to be able to abuse that IR slot. I want to be
51:55able to go through and throw Charbonnet in there, pick him another handcuff running back right away.
52:03Tracy and Woody Marks were my two highest-ranked running backs at this point.
52:07Gabriel says, "Is Lumberjack coming to the draft?" Yes, Lumberjack is going to be at the draft. I actually thought Lumberjack was going to have to be at
52:15the draft order competition as well.
52:18Whereas DMing Lumberjack non-stop over the past few weeks.
52:22And I'm over the past few days, sorry, not weeks.
52:26Um and I've been I was coordinating with him going like "Okay, can you um fly in early? Avery's wife's about to
52:38have a kid their kid."
52:40Blah blah blah, do you want to be Avery's champion the way that Davis is Jynxzi's champion? And then last-minute this morning, Avery said that he is
52:49going to be able to be here.
52:51So um Lumberjack ended up not flying in for the draft order competition. But Lumberjack should be here for the draft
53:01itself and the meetup as well.
53:04Which not a horrible time for me to pull up the meetup stuff.
53:09Um I'll remind y'all, please if you are free this Sunday and you live in Texas drive your little car down to Austin,
53:18Texas. Come to the Flock League meetup.
53:21It's completely free. I will be there, the Domain guys will be there, the um FSC guys will be there. Sal will be
53:30there.
53:31A bunch of the fans I mean, Rome will be there, Zufall will be there. A bunch of the fans from the fan competition will
53:37be there.
53:38But yeah, please make sure you come.
53:40It'll be a ton of fun.
53:42Um I'm going to be giving out a ton of free hats as well. I have 2,000 hats sitting in my living room right now I
53:47got to give away. So, um I know I'm going to end up having to ship the majority of those, but it costs
53:53money for me to ship them to y'all. If you show up to the fan meet up, you know what it cost me to hand them to you? $0.
54:00So, I would rather hand out those hats for free at the fan meet up rather than having to box them, ship them out to all of y'all
54:10for free instead.
54:12Um again, it'll be Austin, Texas this Sunday, August 16th at 5:00 p.m. at Revelry Kitchen and Bar.
54:23Be there, be square.
54:26Okay.
54:29Frank says, "Mason, stop putting up cameras everywhere." I'm trying, my friend.
54:35I I I've said, "Hey guys, we got to get back into the fantasy business. We got to stop doing the cameras."
54:42But, they won't listen. They won't.
54:48Andrew says, "Is it 18 plus or 21 plus?"
54:52It is a bar, so it is 21 plus, which I am sorry about.
54:58Um I messaged the owner. I was like, "Hey, is there a way we can do 18 plus and if they're not 21, we put X's on
55:05their hands?"
55:06And he said, "No, chief. Um they have to be 21." And this place is just so easy to work with that
55:18um I was like, "It sucks not being able to have people that are 18, 19, 20 there, but because how easy they are to work
55:29with, I'm like, I just we got to do it here, to be honest."
55:37Okay.
55:40Brandon Aubrey goes in the 12th. That's where he pretty much always goes. Tank Dell goes off in the 12th.
55:47Again, my general plan here, by the time we get to this range, is I don't want to have to draft any more receivers. Like
55:53in basketball, sure, I'll take some.
55:56I guess Amari Cooper here, round one pick, isn't the worst thing in the world. But, I would prefer to be looking
56:02at the handcuff running backs. Uh with a team like this, of course, where I have the elite quarterback and the elite
56:07tight end.
56:12My top running backs, we get out Bigsby goes at the 12:09. He was my second highest ranked running back.
56:20Amari Cooper actually went at the 12:08, so we're not going to get him.
56:23The guys that I have ranked highest aren't anywhere close to the top in ADP.
56:27So, like I feel like a freaking goober scrolling down past Emitt Johnson, James Conner that at the top of ADP to take my
56:36guys.
56:37I'm going to go Raheem Mostert, the handcuff that we have in Buffalo.
56:41And then oh yeah, we're going to get our next guy after this.
56:49Okay.
56:57John says, "Will Jynxzi be in Hawaii with you guys?" I would be very surprised if Jynxzi goes to Hawaii.
57:04I'll explain that situation in just one second.
57:08Again, at this point, I want to be taking shots on handcuff RBs.
57:14I could reasonably get the next handcuff running back we'd be looking at in the 14th.
57:19So, I'm probably going to go You know what I may do here instead then?
57:24I'll probably take a DST. If Yeah, we're going to take the Rams defense here in the 13th.
57:30If we're able to go through and we are able to draft like my next favorite handcuff running
57:46backs in the next few rounds anyway, it doesn't matter if we take a defense here in round 13 versus a defense in round
57:5214.
57:55Andrew says if Jynxzi stays in the league next year and makes it to the meet up, that place is going to go wild.
58:01I don't think we could do a public meet up with Jynxzi at it.
58:05I obviously am I I've if Okay, I'm going to be honest with y'all.
58:11I maybe shouldn't say this out loud. And I don't want to I'm assuming he's not going to see this because it'd be super
58:16embarrassing to say it.
58:17Of course this has been like the biggest thing ever. So I've been so damn excited. I've been telling absolutely everybody. Like so like telling my like
58:23dad as an example, I'm like, "Hey, this is the coolest thing ever." My dad has no idea who the hell Jynxzi is. Of
58:30course not. He's an old man.
58:31So um the how I explained it to him, I'm like, "I'm a D3 basketball player when it comes to this YouTube stuff.
58:40And Jynxzi's LeBron James."
58:42You know.
58:44It's like a D3 basketball player just agreed a LeBron James just agreed to be on his team.
58:50Or to play a game of pick up with him.
58:52Right? You imagine if you're a D3 basketball player and LeBron's like, "Hey, I'll play play a game of pick up with you." It's the biggest thing to
58:59ever happen in your life.
59:01So um but so like for me, I can make the announcement. I can go, "Hey, yeah, we're all going to this um place in
59:08Austin, Texas. It'll be completely free.
59:11Just show up. I'd absolutely love to hang out with you. I'll give you some free hats. Yada yada yada." I I can make
59:17that announcement and not really have to worry, right? Have some cool guys show up I get to hang out with, I get to
59:22meet.
59:24But LeBron James shows I mean says, "Hey, I'm going to be here. Come out."
59:31It's going to be tough.
59:33Okay.
59:35Now, Myers off at the 13:10.
59:41We actually just recorded our kicker and DST rankings. I need to get them up, and hopefully the editors have that soon.
59:55Okay. Arondae Gadsden off at the very end of the 13th. Again, I'm just simply not taking another tight end when we
60:02have McBride.
60:06Okay.
60:23Now, Los Angeles Chargers go at the 14th. I think the Chargers are a great pick here. And ooh, real quick, let me one
60:33last shout. If you wanted to enter into win the freeflockfantasy.com season pass, all you got to do is drop a like on the stream, and you need to type
60:43the word season pass into the live chat.
60:47You do those two things, and you'll be entered into win a freeflockfantasy.com season pass, and we'll probably give that away in
60:55about 30 seconds. So, last shot to do so.
61:06Okay. Shawn Tucker goes at the 14:05. I actually thought we were going to get Tucker on the way back.
61:11Not the end of the world not getting Shawn Tucker. I mean, there are a ton of these handcuff running backs that are
61:14all the exact same.
61:16Like, realistically, I should have probably just taken the Rams defense where we took Raheem Davis, and then taken a top-end kicker like
61:23Myers in the 13th.
61:25Cuz those running backs would be drafting in the 14th and 15th would be the exact same anyway.
61:39Okay.
61:40Oh, yeah. So, in terms of Jynxzi in Hawaii, um if Jynxzi wants to do the in-person streams and stuff with us, cuz obviously
61:49asking him to stream in-person with us for like 5 days is a massive massive ask.
61:54So, if he has a lot of fun and he wants to do that, um we would go to Florida and we do a big beach house in Florida
62:01next to him rather than Hawaii, but we won't know about that for a couple months. I told him whatever he wants.
62:09And if he doesn't want to do the in-person stuff, then we'll probably plan on going Hawaii.
62:14If he does, we'll plan on going to Florida.
62:17Um I'm probably not going to take a kicker here. Like, no kickers here are that interesting to me. I guess you
62:22could go Cam Little.
62:24But, we are going to take Mike Washington as the handcuff to Ash and Jynxzi.
62:33And then our next handcuff running back, it's hilarious to see sleeper ADP as guys like Trey Benson, Joe Mixon up here
62:41at the top. When the guy that I would want would be Black, who's an ADP of like pick 999.
62:50So, we're going to queue him up and he'll be probably be our last pick here.
62:53And I'm not going to take a kicker in this draft. Um I'll just go ahead and drop one of these backup running backs
63:00right before the season for a kicker.
63:02But, let me give away the free flockfantasy.com season pass real quick.
63:13Wheel of names. Let me spin this over.
63:18Okay, bam.
63:21Come on, paste in. Okay, good. We got it.
63:27Okay, did I accidentally break this?
63:30Okay, we're going to have to refresh.
63:34Oh, I accidentally entered them twice.
63:35That's why.
63:38I copy and paste twice.
63:39Okay, we just got to do this once.
63:44All right, let's spin this wheel.
63:50See what happens.
63:53All right, scream 2447. Scream 2447.
63:58Please let me know what your flockfantasy.com username is in the chat and I'll be super happy to go ahead and hook you up with a free season pass.
64:09Now, um I think that is going to be it. And yes, of
64:19course, that wheel spin was rigged. One day, one day.
64:23But, um I'm just going to be looking in the chat for scream. I'm so damn tired. I got to get some more work done before the draft
64:34shoot in the morning.
64:36So, yeah. I'm going to go to sleep. I'm nervous as hell. I probably am not going to go to sleep at all tonight cuz I'm
64:41just going to be thinking about it non-stop, but I have to try to get some sleep. And I'll probably give you all
64:47some spoilers with how that goes tomorrow night and tomorrow night's stream.
