Player analysis
Player insights
Amon-Ra St. Brown
NegativeValue3:37
Amon-Ra St. Brown is viewed as a strong first-round option, especially in leagues that allow starting four wide receivers. The source notes that after securing Breece Hall in the third round, the decision to draft St. Brown in the first round feels much more confident. While he is part of the source's current roster, the wide receiver position remains a point of concern.
Insight pageBijan Robinson
PositiveProjection3:25
The source identifies Bijan Robinson as part of a clear top tier of two running backs, alongside Jahmyr Gibbs. He is considered an incredible value if he falls to the fifth pick in drafts.
Insight pageBreece Hall
PositiveProjection9:11
The source ranks Breece Hall as the highest-ranked player overall and selects him in the third round, noting that his Sleeper ADP is significantly lower than his actual value. Pairing him with Derrick Henry provides a strong, flexible foundation for the roster. He is considered part of the established running back depth alongside Kenneth Walker III, Travis Etienne Jr., and Tony Pollard.
Insight pageBrian Thomas Jr.
NegativeValue60:08
Brian Thomas Jr. was selected at the 6.03 position in the expert draft, contributing to a run on wide receivers.
Insight pageBrock Bowers
PositiveValue26:06
Brock Bowers is considered an 'absolute stud' tight end and was a top-ranked target for the source, though he was unavailable at the 2.05 draft position.
Insight pageBucky Irving
PositiveProjection10:14
The source ranks Bucky Irving ahead of Luther Burden in their personal rankings, though he was passed over in the draft because the team already had Derrick Henry, Breece Hall, and Travis Etienne.
Insight pageCaleb Williams
PositiveProjection13:40
Caleb Williams is the source's highest-ranked quarterback, though they were willing to wait until the end of the seventh round to draft him.
Insight pageCeeDee Lamb
NegativeValue3:37
CeeDee Lamb was drafted at the 1.06 and 1.10 positions in mock drafts. The source notes that in full PPR formats, it is reasonable to move Lamb up ahead of top-tier running backs.
Insight pageChris Olave
NegativeInjury51:21
The source notes an injury to Chris Olave, which has increased the fantasy relevance of depth options like Jalen Coker.
Insight pageChristian McCaffrey
NegativeProjection5:03
Christian McCaffrey is consistently off the board early in mock drafts, noted by the source as a high-value player who is typically unavailable by the time they make their picks.
Insight pageCourtland Sutton
NegativeValue27:14
Courtland Sutton was selected by the host's team during the mock draft process.
Insight pageDalton Kincaid
PositiveValue54:14
Dalton Kincaid is the highest-ranked player on the source's custom draft sheets, leading the source to select him despite already having Harold Fannin Jr. on the roster.
Insight pageDe'Von Achane
Derrick Henry
NegativeValue4:51
The source ranks Derrick Henry at 2.08 but advises against drafting him in full PPR formats because he is consistently drafted ahead of several other running backs (Etienne, Walker, Barkley, Chase, Breece Hall, and Brian Robinson) whom the source ranks higher. Despite this, the source notes Henry is currently ranked too low in the site's default rankings, allowing users to adjust his position.
Insight pageDeVonta Smith
PositiveValue28:36
DeVonta Smith is the highest-ranked player on the source's draft sheets in the fourth round; the source notes that his lack of ADP on Sleeper until pick 44 makes him a potential steal.
Insight pageDK Metcalf
PositiveProjection13:23
The source selected DK Metcalf, describing the move as getting 'freaky' with the draft strategy.
Insight pageDrake London
NegativeValue25:53
Drake London is considered a viable first-round draft option, with the source noting a 50/50 split in audience preference between him and Jonathan Taylor. While Sleeper ADP highlights him as a top pick, the source's custom rankings differ from this assessment.
Insight pageGarrett Wilson
PositiveValue50:28
Garrett Wilson is cited as part of a package (alongside Nico Collins) that would represent a winning return in a trade involving Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Insight pageHarold Fannin
NegativeValue42:10
Harold Fannin is a priority eighth-round target with a 98% projected probability of being drafted before the source's next turn, making him a preferred pick over Josh Downs and Jayden Reed. The source also drafted him at 8.06, though they acknowledge a risk that he could underperform, justifying the potential addition of a second tight end.
Insight pageJ.K. Dobbins
Jadarian Price
NegativeValue44:14
The source advises against a trade involving Ja'Darrian Price, Tee Higgins, and Tyrone Tracy, stating that the trade calculator shows the side receiving these players as clearly losing the deal.
Insight pageJalen Coker
PositiveBreakout51:13
The source has bumped Jalen Coker up their rankings and is more interested in him following the Chris Olave injury, citing a lack of depth behind Terrace Marshall Jr. and McMillan.
Insight pageJames Cook
NegativeProjection5:09
James Cook was selected at the 1.12 position in the mock draft and was also part of a successful balanced draft strategy in a previous session. He was also noted as being drafted at the 11th spot in a separate draft instance.
Insight pageJared Goff
NegativeValue27:18
Jared Goff was selected by the Hertz team at the 9.01 position in the mock draft.
Insight pageJavonte Williams
PositiveValue5:25
Javonte Williams was highlighted as part of a successful, well-balanced draft team from a previous session. The source expresses strong approval for drafting him in the fourth round, noting they also selected him in a previous draft.
Insight pageJaxon Smith-Njigba
PositiveProjection2:15
The source ranks Jaxon Smith-Njigba as the highest-ranked player at the 1.05 draft position, placing him in a top-tier group of three wide receivers alongside Puka Nacua and Ja'Marr Chase. He is considered a 'stud wide receiver' and an anchor for roster balance. Additionally, the source notes that trading him away for the combination of Garrett Wilson and Nico Collins in dynasty formats would result in being 'robbed' according to trade calculators.
Insight pageJayden Daniels
PositiveProjection60:40
Jayden Daniels is preferred over Drake Maye and Joe Burrow, leading to his selection at the 6.06 position in the expert draft.
Insight pageJayden Reed
PositiveValue42:10
Jayden Reed is ranked as a top target and the highest-ranked player available for the source at their current draft spot as they look to bolster wide receiver depth.
Insight pageJaylen Waddle
PositiveValue7:49
The source identifies Jaylen Waddle as a preferred target in the fifth round, noting a higher likelihood of securing him compared to Travis Etienne at that stage of the draft. While most experts rank Waddle ahead of Etienne, the source prefers Etienne because Waddle has a higher statistical probability (91% vs 97%) of being available in the next round.
Insight pageJerry Jeudy
Jonathan Taylor
PositiveValue5:03
Jonathan Taylor is a high-value player who goes early in drafts. The source acknowledges his strong performance last season and states they would not fault anyone for pulling the trigger on him in the first round, despite opting for other players based on custom rankings and league format.
Insight pageJonathon Brooks
Jordan Addison
Jordyn Tyson
PositiveProjection12:19
Jordan Tyson was identified as the source's highest-ranked player available at his draft position.
Insight pageJosh Downs
PositiveValue42:10
Josh Downs is identified as one of the top targets on the source's draft board, though he is considered less likely to be drafted immediately compared to Harold Fannin.
Insight pageJustin Jefferson
NegativeProjection5:06
Justin Jefferson was drafted at the 1.10 position in mock drafts and is typically off the board early.
Insight pageKenneth Walker III
PositiveValue25:35
Kenneth Walker is a primary first-round draft consideration and was selected at the 2.06 by the source, who cited expert site rankings as support for the pick to maintain roster balance. He is considered part of an established running back depth chart alongside Breece Hall, Travis Etienne, and Tony Pollard.
Insight pageKyle Pitts
Luther Burden
NegativeValue9:32
The source selects Luther Burden III at 5.05 to address a need for wide receiver depth, despite not being the 'biggest Luther Burden guy,' in order to maintain roster balance. The source notes that while Bucky Irving and Quinson Judkins are ranked higher, Burden is consistently drafted in the fourth round in best ball formats, making him a value at this spot. The source expresses no interest in acquiring him in a three-for-three trade.
Insight pageMarvin Harrison Jr.
PositiveProjection12:28
The source selected Marvin Harrison Jr. at 6.04, prioritizing the wide receiver position while monitoring the quarterback dynamic.
Insight pageMike Evans
PositiveValue33:44
The source selected Mike Evans at the 507, citing an 88% probability of him being taken if they passed, and noting that multiple analysts on Flock Fantasy identified him as the optimal pick.
Insight pageNico Collins
PositiveValue50:28
Nico Collins is cited as part of a package (alongside Garrett Wilson) that would represent a winning return in a trade involving Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Insight pageParker Washington
NegativeValue63:58
Parker Washington is the subject of a fantasy points bet against Tedarrell McMillian, with the source noting he is ranked lower than Tony Pollard.
Insight pagePatrick Mahomes
PositiveProjection27:28
The source is drafting Patrick Mahomes as his highest-ranked player, citing his consistency (at least 17 points per game in every starting season) and five top-five finishes. Concerns include a potential drop in passing rate due to the team's new running back and a limited rushing ceiling following his injury.
Insight pageQuinshon Judkins
NegativeProjection10:14
The source explicitly ranks Quinson Judkins ahead of Luther Burden in their personal rankings.
Insight pagePositiveProjection10:24
The source ranks Quinshon Judkins ahead of Luther Burden in their personal rankings and notes that Judkins would have been their highest-ranked player available had he not been drafted at 5.02.
Insight pageRicky Pearsall
PositiveValue45:11
The source warns against using Sleeper ADP, specifically noting that Ricky Pearsall being the highest-ranked wide receiver according to that metric is evidence that the ADP is garbage.
Insight pageRJ Harvey
Romeo Doubs
PositiveValue48:08
The source selected Romeo Doubs as the second highest-ranked wide receiver on their draft sheet, noting that the draft assistant indicated a 60% chance he would be gone by the next round.
Insight pageTee Higgins
NegativeValue5:25
Tee Higgins was highlighted as part of a successful, well-balanced draft team from a previous session. However, the source rejects a trade involving Higgins, Ja'Darrian Price, and Tyrone Tracy, citing that the trade calculator indicates a clear loss for the side receiving these players.
Insight pageTerrace Marshall
NegativeDepth Chart51:28
The source identifies Terrace Marshall Jr. as one of the few remaining options in the depth chart, highlighting a lack of depth behind him and McMillan.
Insight pageTerry McLaurin
PositiveValue33:17
The source expresses disappointment that Terry McLaurin was drafted by another team, as he was their intended target at the 507 pick and was considered undervalued in Sleeper ADP.
Insight pageTony Pollard
PositiveUsage41:43
Tony Pollard was selected as the fourth running back for the roster, joining Kenneth Walker, Breece Hall, and Travis Etienne, providing a ton of predictable volume; the source also notes he is ranked higher than Parker Washington.
Insight pageTravis Etienne
PositiveValue8:13
The source ranks Travis Etienne as the highest available player, noting a 97% chance he would be drafted by others if not taken immediately, making him a priority selection. He is considered part of the established running back depth alongside Kenneth Walker III, Breece Hall, and Tony Pollard. After selecting him, the team reached 91% of its required running back value.
Insight pageTrevor Lawrence
NegativeValue46:33
Trevor Lawrence was selected at the 9.11 draft position, a move the source does not fault given the team's need for a quarterback.
Insight pageTrey McBride
NegativeValue26:40
The source acknowledges that some users feel Trey McBride is ranked too high in the site's default rankings, noting that their custom rankings differ from the Sleeper ADP assessment.

Episode Transcript
0:00As we always do, we are going to be getting in a high-stakes fantasy football draft today that I'm buying $200 into, the people in the chat buying
0:08$0, but they get a chance to win my 200.
0:11But before we get into the real league, and I'm going to fill that with people in the live chat in this stream, I
0:16definitely need to at least get in some practice. So we're going to get in the mock draft first. This is on
0:23flockfantasy.com. I invited the people from the live chat right now to join this with us. They gracefully gracefully accepted my request, and we can get a
0:33mock draft in first, and then we can do the real money league after. But I definitely need to make sure that I am
0:40warming up because this is going to be my first draft of the day. And yes, again, we are going to be doing redraft
0:49leagues every single night. I know you all heard me say this the past few nights, but how it's going to work is
0:55I'm going to set up a league every day.
0:58I'm going to put anywhere from $200 to $500 of my own money into the league pot. I'm going to have 11 random people
1:06from the YouTube live chat join to draft against me in playing that real league throughout the entire season. And if you
1:14win the league, you win $200. If you get second place, you get a nice little pat on the back. You're not going to be able
1:20to win any uh real US dollars though unless you get the first place prize, but it cost you $0 to join. I just want
1:29to be able to give back to the people that are subscribed to this channel and are um coming out to these streams. And
1:35also, it is great great practice for me for the flock league. Now, I have JSN easily as the highest-ranked player here
1:43at five. Um I can go through, and I can pull up my rankings if we want. Let me do just that.
1:53And I will show y'all as we go what my rankings have, which is JSN. Let me just go ahead and select them. I
2:03apologize for that.
2:05But, JSN off at five. I think that there's a very clear tier of two running backs with Gibbs and Bijan, then a clear
2:12tier of uh three wide receivers with Puka, Chase, and JSN at three, four, and five. Lamb goes six, Amon-Ra St. Brown
2:22goes seven. The league settings for this mock draft, the same exact that are for the flock league draft, right? This is
2:30what I'm practicing for in these live streams every single night. It's my real fantasy football league.
2:35Those league settings are full PPR, start one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, one tight end, and two flex spots. So, there, I
2:44think it is reasonable, if you really wanted, to go ahead and move CeeDee Lamb and Amon-Ra St. Brown up ahead of these
2:51two running backs. Whereas, if you're using the draft sheet on flockfantasy.com, obviously, y'all have seen that in your single flex formats
3:00there, that's where we're going to prefer the RBs.
3:03Now, after you see McCaffrey and Taylor both go, Jefferson goes 10, Jeudy off at 11.
3:09Now, James Cook off of the 1.12. Daygo says, "How did yesterday's draft go? I couldn't stay the whole time." Um I
3:16really like the team that we drafted yesterday. Yesterday, we had a very well-balanced team, in my opinion, where it just pretty much every other round,
3:25we were going wide receiver, running back, wide receiver, running back, wide receiver, running back. Like, the draft that we had yesterday, through the first
3:31four rounds, we were able to draft Jefferson, James Cook, Tee Higgins, and Javonte Williams. And I thought it set us up for some great success.
3:40Now, I see everybody spamming the chat season pass. I will say that I have already set up the free flockfantasy.com season pass giveaway. So, of course, if
3:50If wanted to be entered into and win a free flockfantasy.com season pass, it's very simple. All you got to do is one,
3:56drop a like on this live stream, and two, go to the live chat and type the word season pass. And if you don't
4:05already have the season pass, highly recommend getting it. It's going to provide you with custom draft sheets for your exact league settings in the exact
4:13draft platform that you are on. And on top of that, you're going to be getting a real-time draft assistance that you're
4:18able to use in your drafts that are going to help you on Sleeper, ESPN, Yahoo. You're going to get trade calculator access through the entire
4:26season, weekly rest of season rankings for myself and pretty much all your favorite creators you already watch on YouTube. Link to the flockfantasy.com
4:34season pass is in the live chat in the description. If you sign up with code flock, you're also going to get free
4:40questions that you're able to ask me in the live streams that I'm doing every night during the season. And you know, I
4:44want to remind you, it's only 34 bucks, not $34 a month, but 34 for the entire season. So, let me go ahead and put
4:51these rankings on mine. And yeah, if I'm using my rankings at the moment, I do have Derrick Henry at the 208. Now, for
4:56me in a full PPR format, I'm probably not going to draft Derrick Henry or advocate for you to draft Derrick Henry
5:02because from what I've seen in the vast majority of leagues, he is going ahead of um Etienne, Walker, Barkley, Chase, Breece and Brian Robinson. Now, not
5:11every single one of those running backs, but he's going ahead of at least one or two. And I personally have him ranked
5:17behind every single one of these other running backs that went in the second round. But, that's exactly how this draft goes, right? So, at this point in
5:25the late second, when I already start with a stud wide receiver in JSN, I'm fine taking Derrick Henry at the 208.
5:34Okay.
5:35Now, Killit says, "Hey Mason, been a daily follower of the last few years.
5:38Love your videos." Thank you so much, my friend. I really hope you can hop in the draft with us in a second. Um Blake
5:43says, "For the Chrome extension, do you you at the custom sheets or rankings during the draft. I'll explain that one second. My rankings currently have
5:51Breece Hall as the highest ranked player. So, I am going to take Breece Hall here at the 305. So, now at this
5:57point we are sitting with the combination of Let's pull this up. We have Derrick Henry and Breece Hall wide receiver. We
6:06have JSN. So, we're in a pretty good spot with our starting lineup right now.
6:13Okay.
6:18Now, Javonte goes 307, Kyren goes 306.
6:22Again, I'm not stressing seeing these running backs get drafted. If we're able to start with Derrick Henry and Breece, we're in a really good spot where we
6:29have a ton of flexibility over the next few rounds.
6:33Nippy says, "Mason, have you ever had a near-death experience?" Told the story before, I'll keep it brief. Um yes, I whenever I was a toddler
6:44um technically died. They brought me back with the little zappers, but I had like serious serious brain problems. I was in the hospital for weeks. I died to
6:54the point where the priest came out and my mom had me when she was really young.
6:57She was 21 years old when she had me. Um so, my mom like 23-year-old mom, the priest came out, told her, "Hey, I'm
7:05sorry. Your son's dead. Let's pray over him. Yada yada yada." They brought me back with the And I said, "Not yet. Not yet. I got
7:15fantasy football lessons to teach. I got a reason to be here."
7:18But, because of that, I Yes, I'm not joking at it. That is serious. But, because of that I was not allowed to
7:24play contact sports growing up. So, I wasn't allowed to play football growing up um cuz you hit me on the side of the
7:30head, I go down like a rock and probably die to be honest. So, um if you see me in person, don't punch me unless you want
7:37to go to prison for manslaughter.
7:40Punch me on the arm if you want. Give me a Give me a nice little frogger.
7:45But don't punch me in the head or I'm going down like a sack of potatoes.
7:49Okay, Jaylen Waddle 404 for us. Again, I feel very comfortable with our team.
7:54JSN, Derrick Henry, Breece Hall. This is like the real um draft that we had in the live stream last night where we had a nice balance
8:02of running back or wide receiver through the first three rounds. So, as we got to the middle rounds, I'm not stressing too
8:08much about what positions going to end up making it to us.
8:13Now, Colson Loveland goes 407. Super weird spot to be in. We're going to take Travis Etienne. And using the draft assistant, you'll see that it's telling
8:22us we're good on running back. Like it's saying that we were falling behind at wide receiver at this point because we
8:27only have JSN. But sitting with Derrick Henry, Breece Hall, Travis Etienne, we already have enough running back points.
8:34We're sitting pretty.
8:36And yeah, I don't think we need to take a running back for quite some time.
8:40We'll see what makes it to us. I am just right now listening to my rankings and how I'm deciding this draft. But again,
8:46I really really need to make sure that I have a well-balanced start through the
8:56middle rounds, which is what my plan is for the Flock League. My plan for the Flock League is do not fall behind at
9:03any position. Don't be in a spot where you're in round six and feeling like you need to go into the other room to pray
9:11that a wide receiver falls to you, to pray that a running back falls to you.
9:15Like give yourself options, give yourself flexibility. Be like water.
9:20Move with the draft. This is especially I know in my league, like I yeah, I mean, if y'all watch any of the Flock
9:25League videos, y'all know they are tired of hearing me brag that I have the best record through the first two years. I'm
9:32going to take Luther Burden. I'm not the biggest Luther Burden guy, but again, we are kind of falling behind at wide
9:37receiver, and I want to stay balanced.
9:39But, again, uh my league mates are sick of me uh bragging. They are sick of me talking a bunch of smack. So, if they
9:47see that I'm far behind at running back or far behind at wide receiver, I wouldn't be that surprised if they just pushed the position to
9:56screw me.
9:57Like, and I'm I'm halfway joking, but I'm mainly being serious. Like, I don't want to even give them the option of
10:04that.
10:05So, we'll go Luther Burden in the 5.05.
10:07So, now we have two quality wide receivers. We have three running backs with projectable volume.
10:14Okay. Bucky Irving goes 5.07. I have Bucky ranked ahead of Luther Burden in my rankings. I also have Quinson Judkins ranked ahead of him as well.
10:24So, I have a couple running backs that were ahead of Luther Burden. But again, we are already sitting with Derrick Henry, Breece Hall, Travis Etienne. Not
10:31that I would have never taken a running back there if we would have got somebody that we absolutely loved making it to
10:36us, then sure, possibly would have gone ahead and pulled the trigger.
10:40But, I didn't like anybody to the point where I felt like I'm like I don't think it's crazy to take Luther Burden over Bucky Irving.
10:48Like, in every best ball draft we ever do, Luther Burden goes in round four, and Bucky Irving's a round five pick.
10:57Okay.
10:59Tyler Lockett off of the 6.01.
11:03DJ Moore goes 6.02.
11:06I like the DJ Moore pick.
11:13Okay. Yair Taurese says, "How do I join these drafts?" So, um every draft that we do, um we're going to be drafting
11:19every single night right until the season starts. Um the mock drafts that we do at the very open are just going to
11:25be on flockfantasy.com. I'm just going to send the link in the live chat if you want to join. They'll be be free, but
11:30also, they're just mock drafts. They have a $0 prize.
11:34Um but I will shout out the devs on flockfantasy.com and all of y'all that have been drafting. This is draft 409,583.
11:43So, we have had almost half a million drafts completed on flockfantasy.com. If y'all don't know, there are actually public lobby drafts that you can join at
11:52any time. If you ever want to get into a mock draft against some pretty serious drafters, like you can go over to the um
11:58just draft page on flockfantasy.com.
12:00It's completely free and you can go through and hop in a public mock draft like 2026, half PPR, PPR, non-PPR, or
12:07superflex, whatever you are wanting there, but looks like we've had almost half a million drafts done on the site.
12:13So, I'm just going to send the link to join the drafts with us in the live chat whenever we go. Jordan Tyson goes.
12:20Jordan Tyson was my highest ranked player. I actually have a quarterback now as my next highest, but I'm going to try to continue to push the quarterback
12:28position. So, I'm going to take Marvin Harrison here and let's see what the quarterback dynamic is. Drake May was my highest ranked player at the 609. Maybe
12:37we should have just gone ahead and taken him.
12:40But yeah, so our plan was we are going to send a link to the mock drafts before the live stream starts. That way we're
12:48able to hop into the mock draft immediately every night. And that will be through flockfantasy.com.
12:53And then the second draft that we do, where it's the real money redraft league, right? Where I throw in $200, $300, $400, $500 into the league pot.
13:03Again, you have a $0 buy-in.
13:06You just join through the link in the live chat. If you're in, you're in. You win the league, you get the entire pot.
13:13I win the league, I get the entire pot, right? Um but that will be a little bit different.
13:18Parker Washington goes. So, I have Here's the deal. I'm going to get freaky with it. We're going to take DK Metcalf.
13:26We're going to hunt on quarterback yet again cuz this team with Lamar, they're not taking another. Team with Burrow, it's not taking another. This team with
13:33Daniels hasn't taken another. And this team with Allen's not taking another, right? So, while Caleb is my highest ranked guy, I think there's a chance we
13:41can push a quarterback that we really like to us in rounds 9 or 10.
13:45But anyway, I'm just going to send that link in the live chat. First 11 people to click it, you're in. If I
13:50accidentally show the link on the screen, then the first 11 people to type it into their browser, they're in.
13:56But it will be an even competition for everybody hanging out in the live chat to join the drafts with us nightly. But
14:03we're going to be doing it every single night until the season starts.
14:07I have live streamed already for about 100 days in a row. Um let me actually look that up. How many days have I
14:14streamed in a row at this point? I started the daily streams, I believe, April 26th.
14:22Let me ask Google, how many days has it been since April 26th?
14:33Let's see. It's been 98 days. So, two more days and it'll be our 100th day in a row live streaming. And I'm going to
14:40be here every single night until Christmas. Like I said, last year and this year, once Christmas is here, it's the holidays. If I got to spend a day
14:48with the family and I don't stream that day, don't um scream at me.
14:53But I'll be here live streaming every single day until then. And every day until the season starts, I'll be getting in these real money fantasy drafts with
15:00y'all. Y'all be um again, completely free roll, $0 buy-in for you. I'll buy in a couple hundred bucks. Whoever wins the league gets the pot.
15:09Now, let's see. RG Harvey off the board at the 801. Kyle Pitts goes 802. So, Caleb did end up getting drafted at the end of
15:19the seventh. Dobbins goes 803. So, now at this point, just to monitor the teams that don't have a quarterback besides our own. Um see Peterson here at three.
15:27This is a long time remember the flock does not have a does not have a quarterback. The team at two, Husker,
15:33does not have a quarterback either.
15:37Then this fantasy football guy does not have a quarterback and this app uh does not have a quarterback. So, there are
15:42four teams besides my own that are currently sitting without a QB.
15:50Ohio State says, "Mason, just got the season pass and I'm loving it so far.
15:53Can you sort by your own rankings on the flock drafts and redraft tool?" Uh yes, sir. Exactly. So, like if you go through
15:59and I'll show you in just 1 second, but like um anywhere on one, if you have the season pass, I don't know if y'all
16:08noticed, but you're actually able yourself to create your own rankings and all of the tools that we build out through flockfantasy.com,
16:16you can power with your own rankings, or you can go ahead and you can use mine.
16:22You can use Avery's. You can use Nathan's. You can use Davis's. You can choose whoever you want on flockfantasy.com to power the tools with
16:29their specific set of rankings, or maybe you say, "Mason, I like your rankings, but you're wrong on this player. Derrick Henry's too low. Oh, you're wrong on
16:38this player. You have Trey McBride ranked too high." And you can go through and you can import my rankings onto the create
16:44rankings page. You can make the adjustments that you feel are appropriate, and then you can power the tools, the draft assistance, the trade
16:51calculator, and everything you want with your own set of rankings. That is paywalled, so you do have to have the season pass for that because if we add
16:59100,000 people creating their own rankings on the site, um which is maybe what it would be like if it was completely free,
17:08then our database would slow down dramatically and we would possibly be cooked.
17:14Okay. So, after we take Sutton, very interesting to see the Hertz team decided to take um Jared Goff at the 9:01. I know people think I am stupid
17:25for this, and I completely understand.
17:28But, I am going to go ahead I'm going to be drafting Patrick Mahomes. He's the highest ranked player for me. I mean,
17:33let me pull up his player profile.
17:35Patrick Mahomes last season, 20.4 fantasy points per game. He was the QB4.
17:41If we go through his NFL career, every season that he has started, he has averaged at least 17 points per game.
17:48The lowest he has ever finished is QB14, and he has 1 2 3 4 5 separate seasons finishing as a top five quarterback.
17:57He is essentially a lock as it stands right now to be starting week one for the Kansas City Chiefs. The concern will
18:05be does the passing rate drop because obviously they bring in the best running back that uh Mahomes has ever played with. And at the same time, Mahomes
18:12coming off of a um pretty devastating injury, does his rushing ceiling get limited? Those would be the concerns.
18:22Okay.
18:24Let me move this over. Abraham says, "Mason, where did you get the idea to make your own website?" So, obviously I've been on YouTube for a very long
18:32time. I started this YouTube channel in the 2018 beginning of 2019. And I'm sure you all know this by now, but um the
18:39most people on YouTube, especially back then, and even now, most people just go through and they like will sell their rankings on a Patreon, right? Where
18:48it'll be like, "Hey, sign up for my Patreon for $15 a month, and you'll get access to my rankings with a Google
18:54Sheet, or you'll get a PDF of a draft guide." Which is what I used to do back in like 2021, right? But, I was starting
19:01to get to the scale on YouTube where I was like, "Hey, this is a really bad product." Right? Like, I I would feel
19:08bad for somebody spending their hard-earned money, like $15 a month, to literally just get a Google Sheet with some rankings on them.
19:16And what could make the product much better?
19:21One, I started making okay money at that time, enough money to invest into our own product with the developer team that
19:28we have.
19:29And two, partnering with a lot of other super talented YouTubers that make fantasy football content where they can also provide a ton of value on the
19:38website, putting their own products on, great data points.
19:44Let's look at how our team grades out according to the expert average rankings on flockfantasy.com.
19:50Um, we currently have the fourth best team coming out of this draft. We have no tight end. Obviously, we are dead
19:55last when it comes to tight end value, but decent running back room, decent wide receiver room, decent quarterback room. If this draft was a couple more
20:01rounds, we would have taken tight ends.
20:03But, I don't want to sit here too too long in a mock draft. I want to get in the real deal.
20:07But, here is going to be the switch.
20:10>> [clears throat] >> I am about to switch over to the real money $200 draft. Okay? Maybe the link shows on the screen, maybe it doesn't. I
20:20don't know. I'm going to copy the link.
20:22I'm going to send it in the live chat as fast as I can.
20:26There'll be 11 people that get to join this draft with me. The rest, I am sorry, but there will be tomorrow available.
20:34And the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day. So, get ready to click the link and get ready to
20:39scream at me that I did something wrong.
20:41Okay, let's find the link. Copied the link. The link is in the chat. If you want to join this $200 draft with us,
20:49the link's in the chat. Again, I want to reiterate, you need to pay $0. I am putting all my money into it. You do not
20:56pay at all, okay? It's $0 buy-in for you, $200 buy-in for me. Whoever wins this ends up um getting the entire
21:04buy-in. I'm I'm to set the time right now. Let's go. It's going to be on this time, blah blah blah. Let's set the
21:12order. The order is going to be randomized.
21:15And where do I draft? I am drafting at the seven spot, which absolutely freaking sucks.
21:23And let's go ahead and let's pull this in. And I actually open this up on Sleep, I'm sorry, on Google Chrome
21:30today.
21:31So, I am smart enough to have the draft sheets loaded up. They're going to be able to help us, or I'm
21:40sorry, the live draft assistant, and I don't have to manually be tracking the draft sheets.
21:45So, let's get this show on the road. It is a 30-second timer, real money draft, the best practice I can possibly have
21:55for the Flockly draft. I don't want to be showing the custom sheets as I go through and draft this, to be honest
22:01with you, because I don't want the people in this live stream to know who I'm going to be picking. Now, yes, if
22:06you have the season pass, you can pull up the real-time um draft assistant yourself, and you can be using it in this draft, but it's a
22:14tool that I want to keep um I don't want to show y'all what I'm planning on doing, okay? So, maybe when
22:21I'm on the clock, I pull up and I'll show y'all what the tool says. But, as of right now, um I'm going to hide this to myself
22:29because I really want to win this league, and I want to have a damn good shot at doing so.
22:36Okay.
22:38So, Jefferson, McCaffrey all off. Um looking at my custom sheets and my rankings for this format, I am going to have Amon-Ra St. Brown.
22:49Sleeper ADP has it as Jonathan Taylor, but with the league settings here, this is a one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, one tight end,
22:59double flex. You have to start a kicker, you have to start a defense, but we can start four wide receivers here weekly.
23:04So, I'm not too, too concerned about not taking a running back in the first round. Justin Jefferson off the board, Jonathan Taylor goes, CeeDee Lamb off at
23:1310.
23:16Okay, James Cook at 11.
23:20Again, in the last draft we did last night and again, real money league, I was freaking pumped to see it. I was
23:26able to get the combination of Justin Jefferson and James Cook at 10 and a 15 effectively.
23:34Okay.
23:36Now, Amari Hampton at the 2.01.
23:44Devon Achane at the 2.02.
23:50Okay, so again, if you are using my rankings, you're going to notice that they differ quite a bit with the custom
23:56sheets in comparison to what the Sleeper ADP has. The Sleeper ADP has the two best picks on the board currently being Drake London as well as
24:07Trey McBride.
24:12Whereas my sheets have it very differently.
24:21Okay, I'm going to pull up my Okay, so if you're looking at my rankings, I have it as Kenneth Walker. Um the other
24:28people that are ranking Kenneth Walker as the best pick at this point are the FSE guys, Sammy, Zack. Uh best pick
24:36according to Dobain is going to be Drake London, but I'm going to keep this balanced. All right, I don't want to
24:44fall too far behind at a position. So, I'm going to ignore the Sleeper ADP. I'm going to go with who the majority of
24:50experts on the site have as the best pick and that will be Kenneth Walker at the 206.
24:59All right. And after we take Walker, again, you can sit here make an argument and I would actually love to hear what the
25:07chat has to say with this.
25:09Chat, please let me know.
25:12Would you rather have the combination of Jonathan Taylor and Drake London or would you rather have the combination of Amon-Ra St. Brown and Kenneth Walker?
25:23JT and London or Amon-Ra and Walker?
25:27What side would you rather go with?
25:29Please let me know in the live chat.
25:33Okay.
25:35We got St. Brown and Walker, JT London, St. Brown Walker, JT JT JT.
25:43St. Brown St. Brown St. Brown St. Brown St. Brown St. Brown
25:53JT JT St. Brown JT St. Brown. It does look like it's kind of split 50/50 between the two sides. Again, I wouldn't
26:00fault anybody at all for going like, "Hey man, look at what Jonathan Taylor did last season." Like you need to go
26:06through and pull the trigger on Taylor there. Bowers was also close to my highest ranked player, but obviously him going off the board at the 205 meant
26:14that we didn't even get the option.
26:16Jeremiah Love at the 212, Malik Nabers goes 301.
26:23Okay, and let me make sure I pull up these custom sheets again.
26:27And all right. I know what we have. So, my custom Again, these If you're using the Draft Assistant on flockfantasy.com, if
26:37you got the season pass, the custom sheets is what I will recommend for you to use over the straight-up rankings. I
26:45am definitely going to be referencing both because the rankings will tell me like when I'm on the clock, um what the
26:51other creators have it as well?
26:55But the custom sheets are going to take into account the league settings that you're playing in. Not only the league settings that you're playing in, but
27:02also the ADP for the platform that you're drafting on as well. So, I in my drafts this year am planning on using
27:09the custom sheets. I'm going to be bouncing back and forth with the rankings as well.
27:16Okay, Chris Olave off of the 305.
27:23We'll see. My rankings disagree with ADP, but we'll see what the team ahead of us does.
27:35Where the heck is the draft assistant broken?
27:39Oh my gosh, the second highest ranked player that I have at this point, I may be able to get in the fourth round
27:45because the Sleeper ADP is so bad. My ranking does have Breece Hall as the top pick. We are going to take Breece at the
27:52307.
27:54Again, now that we get Breece at the 307, I actually feel a lot more confident with our decision to take Amon-Ra in round one.
28:05Let's freaking go.
28:12Okay.
28:13CJ says, "League is called Flock Second Chance lol."
28:17Brother, the league is called Flock Fantasy August 2nd League.
28:23What the hell you smoking?
28:28This is where again, we're doing these every day. Yeah, so the highest ranked player according to my draft sheets after we took Breece was actually
28:36DeVonta Smith. And I thought the I thought the live draft assistant was broken. I was like, "Oh, did DeVonta Smith go? Like, why is he not showing up
28:43in Sleeper ADP?" But he didn't have an ADP until pick 44 on Sleeper. Like if your league mates don't know what they
28:50are doing, there's a chance you can get Devonta Smith in the fourth round, which is just absolutely laughable.
29:00Okay.
29:02Andy says, "Hi, your league assistant can see it slightly." Okay, thank you for letting me know, my friend. Again, I don't want anybody to see the assistant
29:10till we're on the clock cuz I am not trying to get sniped on these picks.
29:13Mock draft, I don't care. You can see my rankings as we go, but $200 on the line, I'm doing everything I can to win this
29:20thing.
29:25Okay.
29:27Now, Javonte goes 401. I really like the Javonte pick in the fourth round. Again, I actually had Javonte um as my fourth
29:36round pick in the last draft that we did last night. So, I'm not faulting anybody at all for taking him.
29:42Ladd McConkey off at the 402. I just pulled up my phone. We're almost 600 likes on this live stream. Dear God, if
29:49you have not done so already, please go down there, drop a like on this stream, and I want to remind y'all we are giving
29:55away a free flockfantasy.com season pass at the end of this. So, if you wanted to enter in to win one, it's very simple.
30:01All you got to do is type the word season pass into the live chat, and you'll be entered in to win a free
30:07flockfantasy.com season pass.
30:09Okay, so the highest ranked players according to Sleeper ADP, it's going to be Breece Hall, Javonte and then Travis Etienne. Skatabu goes at the 405. Using
30:19my rankings for these leagues, I actually have Travis Etienne as the highest ranked player, and we can see the draft assistant tell us that if we
30:28pass on Travis Etienne here, there'll be a 97% chance he's taken by the time we're on the clock again. So, this is
30:35really our only chance to take him. Now, if we look at the other experts on the site, the domain guys agree with me to
30:40take Etienne, but pretty much everybody else has Jaylen Waddle ranked ahead of him, but I'm going to go ETN. Um there's
30:47a better chance Waddle makes it back to us. Like again, ETN had a 97% chance of getting drafted. Jaylen Waddle only has
30:54a 91% chance of getting drafted by the time we're on the clock again. So, yes, both are very likely to go before we are
31:02clicking again in the middle of the fifth round, but if we had to figure out which player we would be more likely to
31:08get, we're definitely more likely to get Jaylen Waddle in the fifth round as opposed to Travis ETN.
31:14Now, after we take ETN, we are loaded up at running backs. We have Walker, Breese, and ETN. Looking at the draft assistant
31:22on the site, you can see that we have almost already completed our running back points. We are 91% there in terms
31:29of the running back value that we need on this team.
31:32So, I'm going to continue to monitor this as we try to figure out what positions we need to take later on,
31:37but yeah, um I think we've done a good job playing catch-up at running back after
31:44not taking a guy in the first round.
31:50Okay.
31:52Now, after we take ETN, Garrett Wilson goes off at the 407.
31:57Bucky Irving 408, Travion 409. At this point, again, using the live draft assistant, we can see that I definitely have a larger need to get some wide
32:06receiver points in here as opposed to where we're at with the running back position. So, if all else is equal, I
32:13will prefer, if we can get it, a wide receiver in the middle of the fifth round, which honestly, I bet we are
32:19going to be able to get.
32:22Okay.
32:23Now, Luther Burden off at the 411. Basil Tuton goes at the 412.
32:31And yeah, this team at one also is loaded up at running back. They have Gibbs, Love, and Tuton.
32:38One thing that we need to do that we have on the Underdog Draft Assistant that's not live right now on the ESPN
32:43Sleeper Yahoo Draft Assistants with the season pass is we need to get the live draft grades in here where we can go
32:50through and we can see who has an A plus, B minus, blah blah blah.
32:57But Quinshon Judkins off at the 502.
32:59Good for us to get the running backs going because again my rankings will almost certainly would have had Judkins as the highest ranked player for me
33:06there.
33:09Ooh, I actually have a chance to get somebody that's going to help our team a lot. We need to dodge three picks here. There are two
33:17guys that I would like to have on my team at the 507. One of them just went with Terry McLaurin. Sucks to be us. I
33:23don't know if y'all saw my draft sheets.
33:24I don't know if I pulled them up too high, but Terry McLaurin was our next pick if we would have gotten him.
33:31He was buried a bit in the Sleeper ADP.
33:34Davante Adams goes at the 505. He was not the guy that I was looking at. Good pick. Not going to say. David Montgomery
33:41goes. Thank god. We are going to get our guy. My according to these draft sheets, which are my draft sheets for these league
33:48settings on this platform, I have Mike Evans as the pick. There's an 88% chance that he gets taken if we don't draft him
33:55here. Going over and looking at the rankings on flockfantasy.com, um Danny and Sammy have Carnell Tate as the pick. Zach has it as Lamar, but
34:04myself, Domain, and FSC, we all have Mike Evans as the selection. So, I'm going to go ahead and take Mike Evans at
34:10the 507. This will get us some more wide receiver points, which we were falling behind at, but now we are right on pace
34:17with the running back points and wide receiver points we need on our roster.
34:22So, I I like this team a lot here.
34:24Walker, Breece, Etienne at running back, St. Brown, and Evans at receiver.
34:29And again, the big thing that I want to be like going through and tracking, which is very different than the best
34:34ball drafts we've been doing over the past few months, is like the positional values. Like obviously, if you like a player like Mike Evans in
34:42the fifth round in a best ball draft, you're going to like him in the fifth round in your regular redraft league.
34:47But the adjustments that I need to figure out to make is like, "Hey, if I take a running back in the second,
34:51third, and fourth round, should I ever consider taking a running back in the sixth?" You know, especially in this league where it's a double flex
34:58format. So, I want to try out some different stuff because while $200 is a high-stakes league, of course, don't get me wrong,
35:05if the Flock league is $100,000 for first place this year. Like if this makes me 1% more likely to win that
35:11league, I just absolutely have to do it.
35:16Okay, Teddy says, "How can I find the draft assistant if I already have the season pass?" Um I don't know if you've
35:20been using the draft sheets on flockfantasy.com, but on that same draft sheets page, like where you would go through and you'd put your exact league settings,
35:28blah blah blah, and you can go through and manually track all your draft sheets like I was doing the stream last night.
35:33Um there's also this get the overlay tool, and you can download the live draft assistants onto your computer. So, the live draft assistants that I'm using
35:41right now is a desktop only thing. If you are drafting using your phone, I would recommend using the draft sheets on the side. Just make sure you put in
35:48your exact league settings and your platform so you get the custom sheets.
35:51And then if you are going to be drafting in person and you don't want to bring a computer or anything, you can go ahead
35:55and you can actually download the draft sheets. That way you can go through and you can bring custom draft sheets to
36:03your actual draft, cross off the guys as they get drafted.
36:08Now, Brian Thomasoff 603. So, we do have a little bit of a run with the wide receivers.
36:14All right. So, my ranking, I do have a quarter I I don't want to say anything. It's around
36:23the clock. Marvin Harrison goes 604.
36:27This is something I really J'Jaeyrian Price goes. J'Jaeyrian Price was my sneaky pick. J'Jaeyrian Price has an ADP in like the 80s on Sleeper. So, if
36:35you're drafting against your league mates and they don't know what they're doing, you should just take Price. Now, at this point, all the quarterbacks are
36:40the top guys in my tier. I have Jayden Daniels as a pick over Drake Maye and Burrow. So, I'm probably going to be
36:48going with Daniels.
36:49Using the rankings on flockfantasy.com, it does look like Zach agrees with me there as well. So, I'm going to take Jayden Daniels at the 606. I was going
36:57to get a little sneaky with it and if J'Jaeyrian Price would have made it to us in the middle of the sixth round, I
37:02would have taken him. But, now we are no longer looking at the quarterback position. Once I take Jayden Daniels, we are completely done. You can see this
37:09with the live draft assistant as well.
37:11It is telling us that we are set at the position. We have 120% of the value of what we need.
37:17So, um I'm not drafting another QB.
37:23Okay.
37:27Now, JT says, "Was wondering if it's called the Flock League, why are you not the commissioner of that league?" That is a great question, my friend.
37:33If y'all don't know with the Flock League, while maybe I am not the commissioner, I am what is called the dictator.
37:39Which is a level above the commissioner.
37:44I use the FSE guys as puppet commissioners. I'm like Palpatine.
37:49And they are whoever Palpatine was controlling.
37:53They're my little puppets.
37:58Okay.
38:03Now, we'll see. IV says, "Does Flock Fantasy link to ESPN as well?" Yes, Flock Fantasy links to ESPN, links to Yahoo, links to MyFantasyLeague, links
38:14to Sleeper.
38:15Um it links to everything but NFL Fantasy, but I believe NFL Fantasy is actually combining with ESPN this year and it's going to be the same thing just
38:25on ESPN.
38:26So, now it's set up where flockfantasy.com links to every platform.
38:34Okay.
38:35Now, I believe I saw Zuffa in the chat.
38:38Zuffa says, "How did Parker Washington fall out of round one?"
38:41Okay, I'll fill y'all in on a little bit of a secret. Obviously, if y'all been paying attention, Zuffa is in the flock
38:46league and I think he's trying to make a name for himself here. I think he's trying to put himself on the map. And
38:51Zuffa's already proposed a bet for me in the flock league.
38:55It's a a very reckless bet. He's going to lose it for sure. I'm just trying to figure out what I want his punishment to
39:00be.
39:02Zuffa's bet in the flock league is he wants to Okay, I'm switching to my rankings real quick. I just want to track this. But,
39:12he wants to bet me who scores more points this year between Parker Washington and Tedarrell McMillian.
39:18His proposal is loser has to be in a bowling alley for eight hours and every strike they bowl takes off 15 minutes.
39:27Here's the thing with that, Zuffa, that I was thinking about on my run today. Okay, so my highest ranked player is actually way down the board.
39:37He has a 60 Okay, I'm just going to fill y'all in. Um Tony Pollard is my highest ranked player than Parker Washington.
39:42Pollard has a 61% chance of getting taken by the time that we're back up.
39:47So, there's a chance that he would make it back to us, but I'm just going to go ahead and take Tony Pollard as my fourth
39:51running back.
39:53But, anyway, um here's the deal with it. I don't like It's going to be I want it to be able to
40:02be recorded and put on YouTube. And it's going to be tough to record you being stuck in a bowling alley for eight
40:08hours.
40:10So, here's what I thought of.
40:13Instead, why doesn't loser have to go into a bowling alley, strip down to their underwear, and they are not allowed to put clothes
40:24back on or leave the bowling alley until they bowl a strike?
40:32What do you think, Zeffa?
40:34Zeffa says, "Bro's thinking about me during his run. Just say you have a crush on me already."
40:39Yeah, I'm I'm thinking about how I get you in your underwear on my run. That's what I'm thinking about.
40:45But, would that not be the most intense thing ever to throw in a YouTube video?
40:57Evan says, "Probably won't be allowed.
40:58Public indecency."
41:00You'd have underwear on.
41:02Okay, people are saying it's a felony.
41:04And never mind. This is This is why I'm I was soft pitching it to y'all, okay?
41:09This is why I didn't make it the official bet. This is why I'm not countered. I've been thinking about it.
41:14Based on chat, I'll say probably no.
41:18Answer to that one, probably no.
41:22Okay.
41:23Now, Kyle Pitts off of the 802.
41:33Now, let me see. After we take Pollard, are we done at running back?
41:37Yeah, our draft sheets are actually saying once we take Tony Pollard as our fourth running back, we are set at running back at this point with Kenneth
41:44Walker, Breece, Etienne, and Pollard. We don't really need to take another.
41:50So, I am not going to look at running back or quarterback with our next few picks. We are just going to have it
41:55turned on wide receiver and tight end.
42:02Addison goes 804.
42:05Jonathan Brooks 805.
42:10If you're looking at my stuff, I have Downs, Reed, Harold Fannin as the top picks. Harold Fannin has a 98% chance of
42:18being selected by the time we're on the clock again, as opposed to Downs and Jaden Reed at like 6% and 15%, so I will
42:25take Harold Fannin here in the eighth round.
42:31And the draft sheets are saying we don't need to take a tight end after we draft Harold Fannin. I probably will consider
42:37taking one at the end.
42:41Okay.
42:42Mr. Silly Nuts says, "Update on the apps." So, with flockfantasy.com, if you all don't know, we are putting out flock fantasy apps. So, you all can manage
42:52your teams, use the trade calculator, look at the rankings page, and everything is just easier, right?
43:02Apple, we are waiting to be approved.
43:06They verified my documents, blah blah blah, but they haven't put our app through.
43:11Google Play has verified us.
43:15I don't know why we're not on Android already. I don't know if the devs are still testing. I don't know if we're
43:20waiting for Apple.
43:22But, hopefully, the flock fantasy app is live sooner rather than later. I would say a very conservative estimate is it is for sure
43:32going to be live before the season starts.
43:37Now, an aggressive estimate, I don't know.
43:42Uh maybe it's out next week. And by next week, I mean like August 9th or later.
43:50No number says, "Mason, can you check out a trade I sent you from last night's league?" Yes, sir. If you all don't
43:54know, No Number was in the league with us last night. I will go ahead and look at the trade that you had sent, my
44:01friend.
44:02Okay, what is the trade?
44:09Three deal, I'll say in general.
44:13Like this is the trade he sent me.
44:14Pollard, Wan'Dale, and Luther Burden for Higgins, Tracy, and Ja'Darrian Price.
44:19I will say in general, I don't really love three-for-three trades like that. I don't necessarily see what it accomplishes, right? We're just going
44:26through and we are swapping in my opinion, almost swapping players for no reasons. Let me go ahead and
44:37throw this into the flockfantasy.com trade calculator.
44:48Okay.
44:57And oh crap, we're on the clock. My draft sheets have Lawrence, but we can't look at quarterback. We are only wide receiver
45:03and tight end. So, Jayden Reed is the highest-ranked player for me at this point. Again, we still very much need receivers. The highest-ranked wide
45:11receiver, according to Sleeper ADP, is Ricky Pearsall. Again, I want to remind y'all that Sleeper ADP is garbage. For the love of God, do not be using that.
45:20So, you are wanting me to trade away Tee Higgins, Ja'Darrian Price, as well as Wan'Dale or no, I'm getting Wan'Dale?
45:31Why would I do this?
45:39I I really don't see what the appeal would be for me here at all. I mean, maybe if I loved Luther Burden by
45:45stretch some stretch of the imagination.
45:51But yeah, the trade calculator has that as me very clearly losing. Very clearly, it's the Ja'Darrian Price, Tee Higgins, and Tyron Tracy side of this.
45:59So, I'm sorry, my friend. I appreciate the offer, but I definitely would not make that deal.
46:06>> Okay.
46:09>> I Yeah, in general, if I ever get sent like a three-for-three trade, especially before the season starts, it's like, man, I just drafted this
46:18team, but like I don't have any needs. I drafted an incredibly well-balanced roster.
46:26So, probably not doing it.
46:33Now, Trevor Lawrence off at the 9.11.
46:37Not faulting that team at all for taking Lawrence there, because I mean, the team after him hadn't drafted a quarterback yet, right? So, you'd have to be worried
46:43about Lawrence potentially going there at the 9.12, 10.01.
46:50I'm mainly afraid of wide receiver at this point. Again, we have St. Brown, Evans, Jayden Reed. Running back, we're solid. We have Walker, Breece, Etienne,
46:58Pollard. So, we have a ton of predictable volume.
47:02But, wide receiver, like if the Substation claims Mike Evans, we may or may not just be absolutely cooked here.
47:13>> Okay.
47:14>> Slice says, "Didn't you do one last year before the season started in the Flock League?" Yes, because I was able to take
47:19advantage of Danny, and also I needed a running back, too. The team I drafted last night, I really don't have any team
47:26needs at all, in my opinion.
47:29But, I will most likely be trying to wheel and deal after the Flock League draft again, because I can most likely find somebody excited.
47:38And in that Flock League draft, I kind of draft with the plans that I'm going to be making a lot of trades. So, I do
47:43just try to go through and take the highest value guys that I possibly can.
47:49Cuz I know there's a chance I can trade them after the draft.
47:53>> Okay.
47:54>> Wan'Dale Robinson at the 10.02.
47:57Let me pull up my draft sheets. I don't want to show these off until we're on the clock.
48:02I'm going to sort by my rankings. I am only looking at wide receiver tight ends.
48:08God, the receivers are just straight cheeks at this point.
48:14The wide receivers are horrendous.
48:18So unbelievably bad.
48:23This is a good lesson for me to learn here cuz it's a cheap lesson right now.
48:28But I don't want to say which wide receiver is the highest in my sheet because I think we get them on the way
48:33back around.
48:35We're going to take the second highest ranked wide receiver on my sheet, which is Romeo Doubs. Cuz the draft assistant was telling us that there was a 60%
48:44chance that he was selected by the time we're on the clock in the 11th. Where the other wide receiver I was looking at
48:50only had like a 25% chance of being selected. So there's a good chance that we can get my other guy in the 11th, but
48:57this is a damn good lesson to learn, which is don't get to this point and feel like you need to be drafting wide receivers
49:06cuz the wide receivers are long gone. I would way way rather be drafting running backs, quarterbacks, tight ends.
49:17Okay.
49:18Lisa says, "I'm not drinking again anytime soon after last night. Just thought you guys should know."
49:23I don't know what happened last night, my friend, but I support it.
49:29I know I never say this in the live stream or I try not to say it because I'm an idiot. I am uh first person to
49:36acknowledge that I am I do a bunch of dumb stuff and I'm never one to ever try to tell somebody what
49:43they should do, what they should think.
49:45Cuz my try to live your own life, but as somebody who hasn't drank in three three four years, something like that.
49:54It is a cheat code, I swear.
49:57It is a cheat code. Never having a hangover.
50:01Never getting in the extra unneeded calories.
50:06It obviously helps me a lot more since I run every day, but I support it. I support it, my friend.
50:13Um Bryson says, "Calculator doesn't work for dynasty startup. I just redrafted in best ball I purchased the other day."
50:17No, calculator does have dynasty, my friend.
50:21Fleaflicker.com was first built as a dynasty website.
50:28So, I can go through and see like, "Oh, I'm trading away JSN for the combination of Garrett Wilson and Nico Collins in
50:34dynasty."
50:36And trade calculator is going to tell you you're getting straight up robbed.
50:42Okay.
50:45Now, Rams go at the 11:02.
50:48Ooh, this team has gone into auto, which will possibly help myself.
50:54I actually like to see that that team's auto drafting there.
50:58Again, if it was a mock draft, I'd be annoyed, but there's real money on the line. I'm good with them auto drafting.
51:03Brandon Aubrey goes at the 11:06. So, now my highest ranked wide receiver, according to draft assistant, has a 39% chance of getting taken by the next time
51:13I'm on the clock. So, I am going to take him here. It is Jalen Coker. I have bumped Jalen Coker up my rankings now,
51:22and I am more interested in him now than I was previously due to the Chris Olave injury, just cuz there is absolutely
51:29nothing behind Terrace Marshall and McMillan.
51:32Okay.
51:36Now, Bitter Hornets says Uh Bijan fell to him at five in a draft today.
51:43That's incredible. Josh says, "How do I turn it off?" referring to the auto draft. I guess you figured it out, my
51:49friend, but I wasn't going to complain seeing you auto draft in the rest of this and give me a better chance of
51:54winning.
51:58T Mills says, "Yo, off topic, but how did you train to lower your mile time before marathon?"
52:03Um I am not the person to give like speed advice to.
52:10Um I would say I'm pretty decent at giving advice for like how you go farther ultra marathons, Iron Man, crap like that.
52:18Speed, I'm probably not your guy, but I will say what I did that got me down to like a my last marathon I ran
52:25was a 2:51.
52:28Was every single week I'd just run a little bit more and a little bit more.
52:33So, like if last week I ran 67 miles, this next week I'm going to try to run 69 miles, right? Or if the week before I
52:40ran 70 miles, I'm going to try to run 71 miles.
52:46Um generally, that's what I try to do just with everything is try to push a little a tiny bit harder than I did the
52:51week before.
52:53Um that way you don't get hurt, but that way you're still improving.
52:58Okay.
53:00Now, we have four picks left.
53:03Once Aubrey's gone, it's like, "Okay, well, I don't know what to do at kicker, so I'm probably going to not draft one."
53:09And then just take the extra backup running backs in case we get an injury before the season.
53:15Which I you can kind of make the same argument to do with DST and not draft the defense either.
53:20But, if I can just get a defense that I really like the first few week matchups with, I'm fine locking them in.
53:29Okay.
53:31We got Nicholas Ducey says, "Not trying to brag, but I did run 3 miles with no water." That's impressive.
53:39That is impressive.
53:48Okay.
53:50Close secure goes 12:04.
53:57Let me swing this over. We are not looking at quarterback, only running back, wide receiver, and tight ends.
54:06There are a few tight ends that we could look to draft here.
54:14Custom draft sheets have Dalton Kincaid as the highest ranked player.
54:24Eff it. Let's do it. I mean, we have Harold Fannin at the 8:06. I think we can go through. I think we can snag the
54:29second tight end.
54:31It's not like we took an absolute stud like Brock Bowers.
54:35There's a chance Fannin's crap.
54:37Right? I mean, I think he's going to be pretty good. There's a reason I just drafted him in a real money league.
54:42But, the floor is really low if you're a Cleveland Brown.
54:49Okay.
54:51Will says, "Do you set your lineup for these leagues every week? How do you keep up with all the leagues that you're
54:55in?" So, these redraft leagues, this is the first time since I've started live streaming every year, I mean, every day, that I have done like 50, 60 redraft
55:05leagues in an offseason.
55:08And I am not going to be submitting the starting lineups for these single week.
55:12It's just frankly impossible. Like y'all know Sunday mornings, um before kickoff, I'm live streaming for like 6 hours answering your questions as fast as I
55:20possibly can. I don't have the time to sit there for 45 minutes submitting each one of my lineups. I wish I did. It just
55:28simply I don't. Um so, what I'm going to be doing is if y'all watch the Flock League, y'all know the fan who won the
55:34Flock League auditions last year. His name is Sammy Sacks. I went ahead, I actually hired him for flockfantasy.com halfway through the season.
55:44Um and I am going to have him submitting all my starting lineups through the course of the year.
55:51That way I can just focus in on the big things like the drafts as well as uh making the trades. And then also of
55:58course um streaming and answering your questions still.
56:03So, long short answer is I'm not going to be submitting the starting lineups for these teams every week. It would be
56:09impossible for me with my work schedule during the football season.
56:17Now, Tajae Spears off at the 13.02.
56:19Denver goes at pick 12. Can I see what the Denver Yeah, Denver plays KC, Jacksonville, the Rams, the 9ers, the Chargers, the
56:29Seahawks. The first 6 weeks for Denver, just brutal schedule.
56:35Tyler Lock off the board, Bo Nix goes.
56:37I'm probably not taking a second quarterback, be honest with y'all.
56:41Um Juwan Jennings off the board. My draft sheets um have I'm not going to look at tight end or quarterback. Running back, wide
56:49receiver, I have Isaiah Pacheco the highest on my draft sheets.
56:53Sleeper ADP is Pacheco buried?
56:56Apparently there's only a 25% chance that he gets taken. So, uh maybe if this was a real draft and I didn't say this
57:02out loud knowing that I would get sniped on him, I would go ahead and I would draft Tyler Allgeier instead with the
57:08expectations I probably get Pacheco in the next round because again, our draft assistant has him only getting taken here 25% of the time.
57:16But with that being said, once I say his name out loud, I think his probability of making it back to us is slim to none.
57:22And in these final rounds, I generally prefer stacking up running backs even if I am already pretty set at the running
57:30back position because who can become a league winner here in the final three picks from now until week one?
57:38If Drake London goes down, is Zachariah Branch a league winner? Is Zachariah Branch a top 20 wide receiver in my week
57:44one rankings? Probably not.
57:46But if Jahmyr Gibbs goes down before the season starts, I probably do rank Isaiah Pacheco as a top 20 running back in my
57:54ranks.
57:57Okay.
58:02Now, Seattle Seahawks go off at the 1309.
58:06What's the Seahawks schedule? I know they play the Patriots week one. I guess then they get Arizona, which is a good
58:11match-up, but then you have to do Washington, Chargers, Niners, Denver, KC, the Bears.
58:18I guess it's a brutal schedule. I know you're a fan nominal defense, but like all the top defenses with the Texans, the Seahawks,
58:26the Rams, the Broncos, they >> just have really, really tough schedules to open the year.
58:33So, I don't want to say anything until we're on the clock, but I got a plan at defense.
58:40Cam Little goes 1312. Even a raging casual like myself, I mean, I know that Cam Kittle, I mean, sorry, Cam Little, not Cam Kittle. Cam
58:49Little can kick the ball pretty damn far.
58:56Okay. A lot of sauce says, "Do you use deodorant?" Chat, are we using deodorant? So, yes, actually January 1st, um I Chargers goes, that's my
59:06defense that I like with the schedules.
59:08I'm going to have to find a defense that I like their early season schedule. So, January 1st, I got a stick of 24-hour
59:14deodorant, and on each armpit, I wiped it 365 day I'm sorry, 365 times. That way I am covered for the entire calendar
59:24year, and if I forget to wear deodorant one day to the gym, it doesn't matter because I already got my 365 wipes in
59:32for the year.
59:33Um all of these defenses have tough week one matchups.
59:40I guess Jacksonville gets Cleveland.
59:45Charbonnet goes 1405. Charbonnet is a great pick cuz you can just throw him in the IR.
59:50Is Allgeier gone? You know what I'm going to do? I'm just going to be stupid. I'm going to take Allgeier. I'm
59:55just going to go with another handcuff running back. These guys are probably going to get dropped at the beginning of the season on this team.
60:01Um as we're going to have to drop one for a kicker.
60:06And we are I'm probably going to need to drop one for a wide receiver cuz we have way more running back points than we do wide
60:16receiver points, but if we take Allgeier here and we were to get an injury to Jahmyr Gibbs, then I do think that he
60:21can then I do think that he can become a league winner.
60:27And there are a lot of practices before the season starts. And again, when I take these handcuff running backs in the
60:32final few rounds at the beginning of August, I of course am not wishing for an injury for any player.
60:40I am a massive fan of football. I am a massive fan of fantasy football. And it's way more fun when players stay
60:48healthy. It's way more fun when the best guys in the league like Jahmyr Gibbs and Jahmyr Love are out there on the field.
60:54So, I would hate for them to go down.
60:58But at the same time, it is a possibility that I do think we should at least verbalize.
61:11And Sorry, I'm looking for a good week one
61:22match up.
61:25Our good week one match up with the Jags that we pointed out got snagged from us.
61:30Who's playing the Jets?
61:37Jets play in Tennessee.
61:42We'll probably take the Titans defense.
61:44I know the Titans defense are I mean is garbage. But let me look up the week one implied team totals.
61:58Right now the Jets project to be the third lowest scoring team in week one only behind the Cardinals and the Browns. The over under that game's 38
62:05and a half points. So we're going to take the Titans. I don't think the Titans have a good defense.
62:09Even a casual like myself, I understand that.
62:13But with that being said, if the Jets project to be the third worst offense in the league week one, and that game has an over under of only
62:2338 and a half points, it should be the lowest scoring game of the week according to sports books. Sports books know more than I do. So we're going to
62:28listen. That's what I do with defenses personally.
62:31But this is the team super interesting roster. I think if we were to go back and change something, instead of taking Etienne there in the
62:40fourth round, I probably should have listened to the experts on the site. I probably should have gone ahead and taken Jaylen Waddle. Cuz if we were to
62:46got Waddle, I think we would be a lot more balanced between running back and wide receiver. But still, quarterback we have an elite name with
62:53Daniels. Tight end, I think we're going to be good with Fant and Kincaid.
62:57Running back, we have a lot of projectable volume with Walker, Breece, Etienne. These three guys are going to be in my lineup. Um running back one,
63:04running back two, flex one. Pollard's probably going to be my second flex week one.
63:08And then we're going to have St. Brown, Mike Evans at wide receiver. And then on the bench, Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs,
63:13Jaylen Coker, Pacheco, Allgeier. We'll end up cutting one of these running backs right before week one to pick up a kicker. We're just drafting them in case
63:20we were to get an injury to the guy in front of them and then all of a sudden they become, I mean, the highest upside
63:24pick that you could have made in rounds 13 or 14.
63:28But, I think that's all I have for y'all. Again, I want to remind you Oh, actually, I need to give away a free
63:34flockfantasy.com season pass. That would have been very bad if I forgot to do that. Y'all would have never let me forget, so. Let me pull that up. Let me
