Insight pageChigoziem Okonkwo
PositiveProjection2:28
The source recommends lowering Chig Okonkwo in fantasy rankings due to the negative impact of the Stefon Diggs trade on the Washington offense's target distribution.
Insight pagePositiveBust10:08
Chigoziem Okonkwo is no longer viewed as an interesting sleeper; the source notes his career finishes as TE29, TE26, TE29, and TE27, and expects him to fall to waiver-wire status in most leagues.
Insight pageChris Godwin
Christian McCaffrey
NegativeValue35:34
The source expresses surprise that Christian McCaffrey was selected before Ja'Marr Chase, Puka Nacua, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba in this draft.
Insight pageChristian Watson
PositiveValue9:02
The source targets Christian Watson in the sixth round of 12-team, double-flex mock drafts as a valuable depth piece for the second flex position; he is also viewed as a viable WR4 in a hypothetical wide receiver room.
Insight pageChuba Hubbard
PositiveValue12:43
The source identifies Chuba Hubbard as their highest-ranked available running back and selects him as their fourth running back. They express confidence in a room featuring him, Hampton, Etienne, and Harvey, and note he would have been a phenomenal value in the middle of the eighth round.
Insight pageDak Prescott
PositiveValue12:46

Insight pageJahmyr Gibbs
PositiveValue24:12

Insight pageJalen Hurts
PositiveProjection52:30
The source identifies Jalen Hurts as their highest-ranked player, though notes he is slightly less appealing in six-point passing touchdown formats compared to four-point formats. The source views Hurts as a locked-in weekly starter and advises against drafting a second quarterback.
Insight pageJames Cook
Jaxon Smith-Njigba
NegativeValue35:34
The source notes that Jaxon Smith-Njigba was selected after Christian McCaffrey in this draft.
Insight pageJayden Daniels
PositiveProjection2:07
Jayden Daniels is a major riser, moved up a tier above Drake Maye, Jalen Hurts, and Joe Burrow due to his significant rushing upside and the improved Washington offense following the addition of Stefon Diggs. The source ranks him as one of their two highest-ranked players on their draft sheets and advises that in single-flex leagues, drafters should prioritize elite quarterbacks like Daniels earlier because wide receiver depth is less critical.
Insight pageJayden Reed
NegativeProjection26:49
Jaden Reed was selected at pick 9.08 in the mock draft conducted by the source.
Insight pageJonathan Taylor
Jonathon Brooks
NegativeDepth Chart12:27
Jonathan Brooks was selected at the 7.10 and 8.07 draft positions. The source notes that while some drafters prefer Brooks over Chuba Hubbard, they personally cannot make that switch.
Insight pageJosh Allen
PositiveValue28:56
The source identifies Josh Allen as the highest-ranked player on their draft sheets, noting a 39% probability of him being selected at their current pick; he was later drafted by another team at 4.06.
Insight pageJosh Downs
NegativeValue7:14
The source ranks Stefon Diggs ahead of Josh Downs, noting that Downs finished as the WR56 in points per game last season and remains a secondary receiving option in the Colts' offense, which features a quarterback returning from a torn Achilles.
Insight pageJustin Jefferson
PositiveValue3:36
Justin Jefferson is a top-tier wide receiver target for the first round of drafts. In a double-flex, full PPR format, the source identifies him as a preferred target at the 11th position and considers him a foundational WR1 for a roster.
Insight pageKenneth Gainwell
PositiveUsage49:12
Despite positive camp reports for Bucky Irving, the source targets Kenneth Gainwell due to his significant contract, which includes $9.8 million guaranteed at signing. This financial commitment suggests Gainwell will maintain a meaningful role, particularly as a receiver in full PPR formats.
Insight pageKenneth Walker III
PositiveValue26:54
Kenneth Walker III's value is pushed down in full PPR formats, though he remains a high-priority target for some managers who criticize passing on him.
Insight pageLamar Jackson
NegativeValue34:39
The source considers Lamar Jackson an elite quarterback option in the fifth round, but notes that drafting him there can leave a roster's running back position too weak if not addressed early, as seen in previous draft streams where he was taken at the 505.
Insight pageLe'Veon Bell
NegativeRole25:19
Le'Veon Bell is cited as the last historical example of a running back holding out for an entire season, which occurred in 2018.
Insight pageNico Collins
NegativeValue40:45
Nico Collins was selected immediately after the host's pick in the draft.
Insight pageParker Washington
NegativeValue10:27

Insight pagePatrick Mahomes
PositiveValue27:20
The source identifies Patrick Mahomes as a target to round out the roster in the mock draft.
Insight pagePuka Nacua
NegativeValue35:34
The source notes that Puka Nacua was selected after Christian McCaffrey in this draft.
Insight pageQuinshon Judkins
PositiveValue35:08
The source selects Quinshon Judkins at the 508 to address a need for running back points. While the source acknowledges this does not fully solve the team's running back depth issues, it improves roster balance after a wide-receiver-heavy start.
Insight pageRJ Harvey
PositiveValue12:33
The source identifies RJ Harvey as their highest-ranked available player and selects him as their third running back.
Insight pageSaquon Barkley
Stefon Diggs
PositiveProjection0:30
Stefon Diggs receives a ranking bump to WR41 following his move to the Washington Commanders. While nearing age 33 and coming off a release by the Patriots, he is viewed as a strong value pick in the 9.03 range, preferred over secondary options like Josh Downs, Jakobi Meyers, Wan'Dale Robinson, Michael Pittman Jr., Jayden Reed, and Chris Godwin. He is expected to be a primary target in Washington, though he is not a guaranteed top-24 fantasy wide receiver and is best targeted as a team's third or fourth wide receiver.
Insight pageTee Higgins
PositiveRole9:47
The source identifies Tee Higgins as a reliable WR2, consistently slotting him into that role in their 12-team, double-flex league draft rosters.
Insight pageTerry McLaurin
NegativeProjection4:51
Terry McLaurin is moved down slightly to WR24 following the Stefon Diggs trade. Despite the drop, the source remains optimistic, noting that the lack of competition for targets in Washington means McLaurin could still command 25-30% of team targets in a strong offense.
Insight pageTravis Etienne
PositiveValue9:41
Travis Etienne is a high-priority running back target, selected in the fourth round as the source's highest-ranked available RB. He finished last season as the RB10 with 254 fantasy points, 1,100 rushing yards, and nearly 300 receiving yards. While the source acknowledges uncertainty regarding a repeat performance, they remain hopeful for a team-wide leap under Kellen Moore and view him as a functional foundation piece alongside players like Quinshon Judkins.
Insight pageTravis Kelce
PositiveValue27:20
The source targets Travis Kelce to round out the roster and ultimately selects him at pick 10.02 in the mock draft.
Insight pageTreVeyon Henderson
NegativeValue55:02
The source expresses disappointment that TreVeyon Henderson was drafted at the 504, as the source was in need of a running back.
Insight pageTrey McBride
PositiveValue38:32
Trey McBride is identified as one of the top two selections according to Sleeper ADP.
Insight pageTyler Warren
PositiveValue36:51
The source ranks Tyler Warren as one of their top two players and justifies selecting him in the sixth round based on tight end value, despite potential criticism for passing on other positions.

0:00We're going to do two drafts today. One, the normal real money draft that we do every single night with people from our
0:05live stream chat. Again, you buy in for $0. And tonight's I'm going to be putting $250 into the league pot. You
0:12win this league, you get the prize. And we are also going to be getting in a mock draft that I am starting right this
0:19second on flockfantasy.com. We're going to be picking here at 11. But I do want to talk about my updated wide receiver
0:26rankings. I'm sure y'all have already seen this on the site if you have the season pass, but just in case you
0:30haven't, I'll fill you in because it's pretty big news. Stefon Diggs is going to Washington. So, this has been the rumor. And also, if y'all been in these
0:38live streams over the past few weeks, y'all know I was drafting a lot of Stefon Diggs in underdog basketball drafts. Um, with this in mind, right, we
0:45looked at prediction markets and they had the Commanders as the most likely outcome and the most likely team for Stefon Diggs this year. So, it's not the
0:54biggest surprise in the world. It's not like this completely came out of left field like LeBron to the Sixers, but we
1:02have to go through and we have to update our rankings now. Or at least we already did and I'll just show you what it's
1:06like. So, there are four players that should be impacted by this. I'm going to be honest. Diggs isn't that good of a
1:13wide receiver where you need to be updating the running back rankings on Washington, right? Rashad White, Jakori Kroski, Merritt, they um really are
1:20about the same guys that they were this morning. But the players that I think you need to update the rankings for are
1:27going to be one, Stefon Diggs, obviously. Two, Jaden Daniels. I do think that this is a a notch in the cap
1:35of the feather of whatever the saying is of Daniels. This is a good thing for him. Antonio Williams, if you are
1:42potentially drafting Antonio Williams, RIP, that dream is over. As well as the tight end, I know a lot of people were
1:48drafting this year with Chig. I think you have to go ahead and lower him as well. So, there are those four players
1:55that I think their rankings get impacted. We'll go through and talk about each one of those four, but first we are going to be making a selection at
2:0211 as well as at the 202. Now, for me, again, I generally like to go running back running back here at the turn. That
2:11way, I can scoop wide receiver values later. Um Ashton Genty goes off at 11.
2:16This actually means we're probably going to take Jefferson, right? Um, if this was a two wide receiver, one flex format, if you're looking at our draft
2:23sheets there, then it will probably tell you to take James Cook. But this is a double flex full PPR format. And in a
2:30double flex, I'll be a little more likely to take Jefferson. So, we're going to go Jefferson and Amari and Hampton. That is sorted by my ranks
2:37here. So, a very well balanced start that we don't have to stress too much with. But anyway, let's go ahead and
2:43let's look at my updated rankings now with these wide receivers, also with Jaden Daniels, etc., etc. Okay, so this is the create rankings page on
2:51flockfantasy.com. Y'all actually have access to the create rankings page if you have a season pass. You can make your own rankings and use them to power
2:58the tools. But Terry McLaren going to be the first guy that we are talking through, right? We got Terry McLaren here. Previously, he was ahead of Luther
3:07Burton and Devonte Adams for me. I'm going to be honest, there's still very little target competition in what should be a pretty good Washington Commander
3:16offense. So, this isn't something that's going to have me plummeting. Terry McLaren down my ranks. Like Terry, when we had a healthy Jaden Daniels two years
3:25ago, was the wide receiver 16 in points per game at 15.75.
3:29So, I am moving him slightly down this tier down to wide receiver 24. But it's not that big of a fall for Terry McLaren
3:37because he could still very easily see 25 30% of his team's targets. The guy that I moved up considerably is going to
3:46be Stefon Diggs. So Stefon Diggs at this point, I have moved up to the very top of this tier, wide receiver 41. I know
3:53that seems low, but keep in mind he's ahead of guys like Josh DS, Jaden Reed, Chris Godwin, Michael Wilson, Xavier Worthy, Jacobe Meyers, Michael Pitman,
4:03Matthew Golden, Well Robinson. So here's my thought process with this tier receivers. A lot of these guys are wide receiver twos, right? Like say Michael
4:12Wilson, say Chris Godwin, say Jaden Reed, Josh DS. They're the second receiving option in their respective offense. Would I rather have Stefon
4:20Diggs, a wide receiver who last season we saw him finish as the wide receiver 25 in points per game in the Washington
4:29Commander offense with Daniel Jones, I'm sorry, with Jaden Daniels throwing in the ball. Or would I rather have Josh DS who's the wide receiver two in the Colts
4:38offense who finished the wide receiver 56 last year on points per game with Daniel Jones coming off a torn Achilles.
4:45I'm gonna take Stefon Diggs there. Now, of course, I can't get overly optimistic with Diggs because at the end of the
4:52day, this is a wide receiver that's about to turn 33 years old, right? He's a wide receiver about to turn 33. The
4:59New England Patriots looked at what they had and they said, "You know what? We're fine letting you go, right? No harm, no
5:04foul. Enjoy your the rest of your career in Washington." So, Diggs definitely gets a bump. I'm not going to be telling
5:11you that he is some like must-draft guy that you can't afford to pass up on now.
5:16Um, I think he is more so wide receiver that you're going to take as the third, fourth wide receiver on your team. And
5:22if he does spike up in a big-time way, obviously it's exciting, but it's not a guarantee that he is going to be a top
5:2824 wide receiver in fantasy. Now, let's move over to Daniels as well as um the tight end situation here. So, with Jaden
5:38Daniels, I already had him as my QB3.
5:42Again, I think that this does help the Commander offense because previously the second best weapon you had here was a tight end that had never finished as a
5:50top 24 guy or Antonio Williams, a rookie, right? So, bringing in Diggs is undoubtedly an upgrade over those players. So, I had Daniels as our QB3
6:02already, but I am going to move him a tier above. Like I would very clearly rather have Jaden Daniels at this point
6:08over these guys like Drake May, Jaylen Herz, Joe Burrow given the rushing upside that we have for JD. Now going over to Chig. I know Chig was going to
6:17be the sleeper for a lot of people this year. Hopefully they realize that this is probably the biggest loser in this
6:23ordeal. I've already drafted very little little of him. I thought it was very simple. like he was the Titans 16 in
6:30underdog drafts before this went down, which again I thought was pricing in a season way better than we've ever had.
6:37We go through and look at this dude going into year five of his NFL career.
6:40He had finished as the tight end 29, tight end 26, tight end 29, tight end 27. I think he falls to a range in which
6:49he's a waiverwire tight end in your ESPN in your Yahoo leagues, right? So, I'm a moving Chig down to he's not an
6:58interesting sleeper anymore. The only reason he was interesting previously was based on this situation. Now, Daniels does have a solid wide receiver, too.
7:06Terry McLaren moves down slightly for me. Again, there are still so many points to go around in this Washington offense and so little competition that I
7:16don't think this kills Terry McLaren by any stretch of the imagination. And then Stefon Diggs is a big- time riser. This
7:22is about the best landing spot he could have possibly had. So, Diggs, you can draft as your third, fourth wide receiver, but we will see where he goes
7:30in this mock draft here. And then, obviously, the $250 draft that we are going to be doing right after this. Now,
7:39of course, if you want to stay up to date with all of my rankings, um, not only for those regular PPR reddraft
7:47leagues, but also for your custom league settings and the platform that you are on, right, to make those adjustments. If it's a single flex league, double flex
7:56league, half PPR, full PPR, nonPPR, superflex, tiedin premium, an eight team, a 10 team, a 12 team, a 14 team, every single one of those details is
8:06going to change how you should value positions against each other. And then obviously if you're in a nonPR league, you already know you move up guys like
8:13Derrick Henry and running backs down like McCaffrey. But if you wanted to stay up to date with all our rankings changes, we're going to be making them
8:20every single day until the season starts. It's very simple. Just get the flockfantasy.com season pass. The season pass is still only $34 right now. It's
8:29going to get you set up with all those draft assistants that are going to be able to help you in real time for your
8:34sleeper, ESPN, and Yahoo drafts. All of those custom draft sheets for your exact league settings as well. And on top of
8:42that, you'll be getting weekly and rest of season rankings updated throughout the entire fantasy football season.
8:48You'll be getting access to the trade calculator all year round. and you'll be getting access to the my team's page.
8:54And I'm not the only creator on flogfantasy.com. The vast majority of creators you already watch on YouTube are currently on the site. So, I'm going
9:02to go ahead and probably take Christian Watson here in the sixth round. Um, oh, and I'll say lastly, if you sign up for
9:09the season pass on flockfantasy.com, definitely do so with code flock because that way you'll get free questions that you can ask me in the live streams and
9:16we're streaming every single night until Christmas.
9:19But regardless here with the Christian Watson selection, you'll see this with our draft sheets as well. Um I think it's more appealing to go ahead and take
9:27the additional wide receiver whenever we are in a double flex format. Again, a double flex 12 team league. It is actually going to be important to build
9:36out your skill personal depth. Like us taking Watson, he's sliding into that second flex spot. We have Hampton RB1, Travis DTN RB2, Jefferson wide receiver
9:45one, Higgins two, Carnell Tate the first flex, Christian Watson the second flex.
9:50But if you were in a single flex league, I think you could very easily make the argument to push up the elite onesie
9:58like Jaden Daniels because wide receiver just simply isn't going to be mattering as much there. So I'm going to take Christian Watson at the 602. We're going
10:06to build out our skill personal depth.
10:08This probably means we don't get a quarterback that we're super excited about on the way back around at the 7-Eleven, but who knows? We'll see if we
10:15snag some more running backs there.
10:16We'll see what ends up making it to us.
10:19But, um, thank you ladies and gentlemen for coming out to hang out with us in this live stream. I really do appreciate
10:27you. And Zufa is asking Stefon Diggs or Parker Washington, my friend. I do have
10:36Mr. Washington ahead of Mr. Diggs, but Tedro McMillan, different story.
10:42Different story, brother. Now, Matt says, um, Big Flock, I'm here. Tell me what you do for us newcomers. Thanks for all you do. Um, we do a couple giveaways
10:52every single night in the live stream. I mean, now, as y'all have seen, every single night for months now, we've been
10:58giving away a free flockfantasy.com season pass. All you got to do is drop a like on the stream and type the word
11:04season pass into the live chat to enter.
11:06And also, we've been doing these free roll giveaways with our fantasy leagues where again, you buy 0 into the league
11:16pot. I go ahead, I put anywhere from 200 to 500 and the winner of that league wins all the money. So, the draft that
11:24we're doing tonight is for 250 bucks.
11:27Um, the people that can join those are people that found this YouTube channel yesterday or the people that have been here for years, right? Because it's very
11:34simple. All you got to do is click the link in the live chat. You don't need to have the flockfantasy.com season pass.
11:39You don't need to donate anything. You don't need to have any special access.
11:43You just got to hang out with us in the live streams. And everybody here hanging out with us in the stream, you know, I
11:47appreciate you more than freaking anything in this world. And I want to get back to you in any way that I can.
11:52So, um, whether you're new, whether you've been here for a while, I appreciate you. I'm going to try to keep on giving back to y'all. So, we're going
11:57to be giving away that free flockfantasy.com season pass every single night until the season starts.
12:02And at the same time, we'll be doing the same with the real money leagues that you have to buy zero dollars into.
12:11Okay, now let's see. DK Medaf off the board at the 709. We're not stressing about wide receiver again. We have Christian Watson at wide receiver four
12:21here.
12:23Now we'll swing this back over.
12:27Um Jonathan Brooks goes at the 710.
12:33My highest ranked player is going to be RJ Harvey. We're going to keep it simple. We will take RJ Harvey as our
12:38third running back. Technically Harvey going to the bench, but it is what it is. And then at this point, we can look
12:43at Chuba Hubard being our highest ranked running back. Dak Prescott being our highest ranked QB. I think we are going to go ahead and take Chuba Hubard here
12:50as our fourth running back. And then we'll just draft one quarterback at the very end of this in round nine, one
12:55tight end at the very end in round 10.
12:57Again, I think you are more inclined to just go ahead and take the quarterback or the tight end by the
13:07eighth round if you're in that single flex league because in that single flex league, it's going to be a little bit
13:12less important for you to build out the skill positional depth.
13:16Okay.
13:18Now, Matt says, "Can you give us newcomers a basic explanation of the season passer?"
13:24I'm going to be honest with you, my friend. I feel like we do that in every single video and every single live
13:28stream. And I know people are annoyed about me talking about the season pass at this point. So, you'll see some of
13:34the tools when we get into our real money draft in one second that we use with the season pass, like the real time
13:39draft assistant, but I don't want to go through and list off the 30 things that are on flockfantasy.com that we built
13:46out over the past three or four years because we do a season pass ad and literally everything we do. So, I know
13:53the people watching this that are um have been here for a while probably aren't the happiest with us.
13:59Okay, Sid says, "Mason, what happened to the new Flock League video?" So, in case y'all missed it, I said in the live
14:07stream last night that most likely we are going to get be getting a Flock League video out this morning. However, um
14:15Joe the dev, y'all know he recorded all the turtle clips last year, said he was going to get us a clip in. Sounds like
14:25it didn't happen. So, we delayed to see if we could get a turtle clip in from Mr. Joe voting on our new league rules.
14:33He already gave us what he was saying in terms of what his votes were, but um we didn't get a clip from him. So, maybe
14:43the flock league comes video comes out tomorrow morning. Maybe he gets in a clip to include in the video. We'll see.
14:52Now, Seren says, "Odds that Gibbs holds out, Detroit is trying out running backs." Here's the deal. If Jamir Gibbs holds out or if he doesn't, it literally
15:01has zero impact for me. He's playing week one. So, if Jamir Gibbs holds out and all of a sudden he's going in like
15:08round three or round four of I'm sorry, not round three, he's going at pick three, at pick four, at pick five of
15:15drafts, I will take him every single time.
15:19Let me look up. The last time we had a running back hold out for an actual season was Levian Bell. I was in high
15:27school when that happened.
15:30So, what season was that we had a really a real hold out? 2018. It was almost 10 years ago that we had a real running
15:40back hold out.
15:42There's no way in hell that's happening with Jamir Gibbs. There's no way that he is missing time due to this. So, I know
15:49ESPN will be talking about it a lot. I know probably people on Twitter will be talking about it a lot. But, frankly,
15:57for fantasy football purposes, I think it's pretty much meaningless if he holds out or not. I won't care at all.
16:07Okay.
16:09Now, Jaden Reed goes to the 908. I'm going to be taking a quarterback and tight end to just end this draft so we
16:14can say that we got each one of those positions. And then we are going to be bouncing into our next one where we take
16:19that C I'm sorry where we have the $250 buy in.
16:26Okay.
16:32Now Jackson Dart goes to the 910.
16:40Let me swing this around. Yeah, I have Momes here again. And we're looking at quarterback tight ends. We're just going to take
16:48like Patrick Mahomes or Travis Kelce to round this thing out. The team at 12 already has Allen and Tyler Warren, so
16:54they're not going quarterback or tight end. But it is what it is.
16:58Okay. And we will take Kelsey here at the 1002. But I like this team in general. Again, for the flock league, I
17:06want to be building out my skill depth.
17:08So if you were to tell me, hey man, you got Hampton, ETN, Harvey, Chuba Hubard as your four running backs, I'd feel
17:15damn good about that running back room and wide receiver. If we had Jefferson at one, Higgins at two, Tate at three,
17:21Christian Watson at four, I'd feel good about the wide receiver room as well.
17:24Quarterback, tight end, a little bit shaky. What we would do here is we would take another quarterback and tight end in the following two rounds. But we are
17:30going to keep this mock draft a little bit brief because I do want to be getting into the real money draft that
17:36we're going to do right this second. And as I pull that up, I will remind y'all that if y'all ever wanted to get into
17:42public mockdraft lobbies. Right now, we are averaging like 10 to 15,000 drafts done on flockfantasy.com a day. This is completely free. You don't even need the
17:51season pass to do this, but if you go over to fogfantasy.com, you'll see these draft lobbies. You can just go ahead and
17:57join whenever you want. Like I said, there have been 10 to 15,000 being completed a day. And yeah, go ahead and
18:05hop in one whenever you want. It's free.
18:06You don't even need the season pass.
18:08Just flockfantasy.com.
18:09But let me get this around and let's get ready for this August 5th league. Okay, so I have this link copied. Again, this
18:20is the $250 buyin league. It cost you $0. I am paying $250. And the winner of this league at the end of the season is
18:31going to get the entire pot. second place. Again, you're going to get a nice pat on the back. I'm going to tell you,
18:37good job. You tried your hardest. It just wasn't enough. But, nonetheless, let's go ahead and let's enter this.
18:45What I am going to do is I am going to double check to make sure that nobody joins has been in a bunch of the other
18:53ones. Um, because if I see that somebody's been in like three drafts straight with us, I'm sorry. We may or may not boot you out of this one. But
19:02let me pull up see if anybody in this league right here is from yesterday's draft. We're just going to check yesterday's. I'm not going to
19:13check all of them. I don't want to go through that much. But I believe no, team Logan, I am sorry, Logan, you were
19:20in yesterday's. So, I'm going to go into commissioner settings and we are going to boot you out here. I apologize for
19:29that. But, um, the member settings, we're going to remove Logan. He was in yesterday's draft. And we should be able to bring
19:40somebody else in here in one second. Or do we already have 12 people in? I guess that brought another in, right? Okay.
19:51There are these people that are waiting to be assigned, but we already have more than enough people in here. So, um, we
19:57don't need to assign them. We can just go ahead and set the time of this draft.
20:03Um, people are saying RJ is a repeat.
20:06Well, R.J.'s wasn't in yesterday's, so I'm not going to be going crazy on everybody here, but we'll just make sure that it's not the same people getting in
20:18over and over again. I don't want to spend um 30 minutes doing this. I want to go ahead and hop in the draft,
20:22though. So, let's set this time. I'm going to randomize the draft order. We are going to pull up this draft and hopefully I got a decent pick. We
20:37could pick eight. Not great. Not great.
20:41But at least now we have an excuse for why we've drafted a bad team. Let's get this going.
20:46So when we're at eight, we are in a little bit of an awkward spot and it comes down to like do you want to start running
20:55back running back? Do you want to go with a wide receiver like Lamb or Jefferson and then get your running back
21:01in the second? You have a couple different options here, but you kind of know, or at least I am always assuming
21:08from pick eight.
21:13I I don't know.
21:28I'm planning on taking a running back in the second round, right? I'm sorry I got thrown off. Just a little bit of a
21:34surprise seeing McCaffrey in this draft go before Jamar Chase Puganua JSN.
21:39Jonathan Taylor goes, this is a double flex format. If you were looking at the rankings on the site right now, Aman
21:45Ross St. Brown has the highest ranked player. I mean, is the highest ranked player for almost everybody on the site.
21:51Obviously, if you were looking at the custom draft sheets as well for this um double flux full PPR league, St. Brown
21:58is the highest and even Sleeper ADP has the Monro as the highest as well. So, we'll go ahead. We'll take him here at
22:06pick eight. I don't think it's that big of a surprise that we're doing this.
22:09Typically, we see him go at pick six or seven in these drafts, but McAffrey went at three. Taylor goes at seven. So, that
22:15pushes St. Brown down to eight.
22:19Okay.
22:21Now we have CD Lamb off of the 109.
22:29Garrett, I see your message. I'll go ahead and send the dab team. Thank you for letting me know.
22:38Okay, James Cook goes at the 111.
22:55Amari Hampton 2011.
23:03And sorry y'all can't see that team. Let me go ahead and shrink this window for y'all so y'all can see pick 12.
23:10Okay, here we go. Barkley goes 203. If you're looking at the Sleeper ADP at this point, London and McBride are the
23:17top two selections. Again, for me, I'm not a big fan of the Sleeper ADP. I would recommend you don't really reference it in your drafts. I would
23:26recommend that you go ahead and have a good set of rankings coming in, but we'll see what this team does at the
23:33204. Maybe they are um Drake London Pilled here.
23:39Okay, Chase Brown goes, "F me. F me."
23:42This is why I hate drafting with y'all.
23:44Um, now at this point, our draft sheets have it as either Bowers or London. Like the running backs with Henry and Walker
23:51are pushed down a bit because it is a full PPR format. We'll try to mix it up.
24:00We'll try to go ahead and take Drake London. Massive snipe with us not getting Chase Brown there. I really prefer Chase Brown with this pick. It's
24:09going to put us into a little bit of a tough spot in the coming rounds, but um what I'm probably going to prefer here
24:15is if we can, I want a running back in the third.
24:20Obviously, not a guarantee that we get that. There will be a few names that are on my target list.
24:28I was really hoping we are going to get one of Hampton, Aan, Barkley, or Chase Brown. Chase Brown is buried with the
24:34sleeper ADP, but it is a little bit tougher to draft against y'all to be honest, knowing that um y'all have my
24:42rankings, so it ain't the easiest.
24:45Okay, now after we take London, we have Walker, Nico, AJ Brown immediately after. Um interesting to see how far
24:56Dererick Henry is falling to this.
24:58Derrick Henry made it down to the 209.
25:00Again, Derk Henry is going to be a little bit lower in these full PPR draft sheets as opposed to where he is in the
25:07nonPPR. Um, I'm trying to hide this over here behind me on the screen because I don't want it the people that were
25:13drafting with to see what I'm using.
25:15Obviously, I have the draft assistant pulled up that comes with the season pass and I am referencing the custom sheets made for these exact league
25:24settings with the sleeper platform as well. So that is what I am looking at for this draft as I go through and make
25:32our selections. Obviously we will make adjustments based on our team need through the early rounds. Like you can see that we are well over the points
25:40that we need at wide receivers so far through this draft and we really need running backs. So in general we're going
25:46to be preferring to take a running back here in the third round um over a wide receiver if we can. Now does that mean
25:52I'm going to reach a couple tiers on a running back over receiver? probably not, but it is what it is. And I will say we
26:02just have a message from Sammy Stacks here. If you all know, Sammy Stacks is running these teams with me. He is going
26:10to be the reason why we are able to do so many of these drafts, manage the waiverwire, manage the start sits
26:17through the entire season. He sent me a voice memo and I have no idea what the hell this is, but if y'all watch the
26:24Flock League, y'all know Sammy Stacks.
26:26won the fan competition last year. He is in our league. We hired him to Flock Fantasy. Shout out Sammy. He's an
26:32absolute superstar. Let's see what he has to say about our first two picks.
26:36>> Mason Dodd, the man who faded George Pickkins because he was like, "Oh, look what he did in Pittsburgh. Look what he
26:44did in Pittsburgh." Then look what happened. That this year is Kenneth Walker. I promise you. I I I got to manage these leagues all year. And
26:54you're passing on Kenneth Walker to take Tua Tag Aloa's wide receiver one.
27:01I you know you came to me. Hey Sammy, Sammy, can you manage these leagues for me? Can you manage these leagues for me?
27:06Maybe you know if you win you can keep the pot. I'm going to end up with I'm going to end up with less money by the
27:13end of the year with how you're drafting at this rate. Unbelievable.
27:18Okay, it um sounds like Sammmyy's not a fan of our selections through the first two rounds.
27:25Sounds like uh the feedback we have is not the most positive, but I'm going to keep my head high. I'm going to go ahead and hopefully make the
27:34man proud and we are going to reach dramatically past ADP and we may take Devonte Smith here.
27:44Let me think through this. I don't know if there's much to think about. Let's do it. We're going to take Devont Smith. We
27:51are going to take our third wide receiver. He will be in our first flex spot.
27:56And rest in peace, Sammy, my friend.
27:59Maybe I'm doing this to sabotage you, brother.
28:04Maybe I'm doing this to sabotage you. Z Flowers goes to the 309. At this point, when we have St. Brown, Drake London,
28:11and Devont Smith. What we are very clearly hoping for is we are very clearly hoping that wide receivers get drafted. A big thing that I would expect
28:20will be these teams here at the end that went running back running back to probably take a wide receiver here at
28:25the 34 turn. But again, is that a guarantee? Held to the no. Far from a guarantee. So, who knows? Maybe we end
28:33up getting sniped on a running back that we need because doesn't surprise anybody when we go with zero running backs through the first three rounds. Uh we
28:41gonna need one to say the least. But after we take Devont Smith, we do see that massive run of wide receivers,
28:47which is typically what I expect at the 34 turn. Now Javvante goes 402. What's going to be very interesting is Josh
28:56Allen is the highest ranked player according to my draft sheets. He has a 39% chance of getting taken with this pick according to the draft assistant.
29:05And we'll see if it ends up happening, but this team at sight in has Lamb, Chase Brown, and Z Flowers. He goes
29:16Luther Burden. So, I'll show you all my draft sheets at this point. My draft sheets have the best picks in this
29:21format being Josh Allen, Travis CTN, and then Lad Manki. But if we use the draft assistant and go over to that team tab,
29:29we can see we have a ton of wide receiver points. We have 133% of the points that we need at this point of the
29:36draft. We're well over. So what does that mean? Probably means we need to listen to our sheets and go with our
29:40highest ranked running back, which that highest ranked running back is going to be Travis ETN. We will take ETN here in
29:46the fourth round. And we will hope that Alvin Kamara is dust. And I will show y'all again what um ETN did last season
29:56just in case you forgot. I know you most likely did not forget, but just in case. Travis CTN. God, the player card on Sleeper looks way worse
30:08than the Flock one. Um was the running back 10 in fantasy points? Dropped 254 fantasy points, 1100 rushing yards, almost 300 receiving yards. Now, of
30:18course, is the expectation for him to be the running back 10 yet again? Probably not. Main reason being is the New
30:24Orleans Saints offense should be worse than what he had with the Jacksonville Jaguars offense last season. But who knows? Let's go ahead and let's see what
30:33Kell Moore can cook up and let's see if the New Orleans Saints take a massive leap forward this year like sports books
30:40are currently projecting them to do.
30:43Okay, now Josh Allen goes to the 406 and let me see what our Yeah, the draft assistant still says we're in desperate
30:52need of a running back. Still says we have plenty of wide receiver points, but we need more running back points coming
30:57out of this roster, which obviously I don't think would surprise anybody.
31:05Okay, now Terry goes to the 409. That is post Stefon Diggs signing. I am so dumb. I didn't even remember to look at where
31:16Stefon Diggs got drafted in the last draft.
31:23Okay, let's see what Sammy says. Sammy just sent another voice memo.
31:29Let me know if y'all like these voice memos from Sammy. It could be something we make a regular occurrence happen in
31:35these live streams. So, y'all got to spam the chat yay or nay to the Sammy voice memos. But here's what we ask for
31:41us now.
31:43>> Mason, I I absolutely love that you're pulling up the Travis ETN player card, seeing that he was the RB10 last year.
31:50You better hope he's good this year because this is the fifth draft you've done and this is the fourth time that
31:56you've taken Travis ETN. Ever heard of a Ever heard of a balanced portfolio?
32:01Ever heard of not putting all your eggs in one basket? You're sitting at 80% exposure to Travis ETN.
32:11>> Okay. Okay. I I I want to correct something for the record. I am not sitting at 80% exposure of Travis ETN.
32:19Sammy, we are sitting at 80%. Okay?
32:23You're in this with me. You're in this with me. You could have shot me a message this morning. We Hey, we were on
32:29the dev call for flockfantasy.com this morning together. You could have very easily brought up, hey man, I just noticed um so far four of our teams,
32:38three of them already have Travis ETN.
32:40Probably don't plan on taking Travis ETN in the fourth round at tonight's stream.
32:44You could have mentioned that. You could have brought it up. You had the opportunity. I was right there with you, buddy. You didn't say anything. Okay.
32:51So, um it's not that I have a lot of Travis CTN. It's that we have a lot of Travis CTN, my friend.
33:02Now, Trevian Hitter off of the 504. This is going to surprise nobody here, but I may or may not need a running back. So,
33:09seeing Trevian Henderson go here ain't the best. Seeing Bucky Irving go here at the 505, it ain't the best for us.
33:18Okay, we are up in two picks. My highest ranked player, I don't exactly want to say who it is,
33:27has a 26% chance of getting taken, but honestly, I don't even know if we won him because we have built our team a
33:34specific way. Our second highest ranked player with the draft sheets does indeed go here at the 506, which is a brutal
33:42thing for us to see.
33:47Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay, what's going on here? Roma goes, "Oh, thank God. Thank God." Um, if we're looking at
33:57like our draft sheets right now, we have J Mo and Quinn Chun Judkins back to back. But again, we go over to the draft
34:04assistant, we can see what do we need running backs. Uh, even if you didn't have the season pass, you should know,
34:11hey, if Travis ETN's your only running back and you have Amanra, you have London, you have Devont Smith, you probably need more running back points
34:20than wide receiver points going into the future. So, we'll take Quinn Sean Judkins here at the 508. I think the mistake that we made in the draft
34:27yesterday that we did was we had drafted a very heavy wide receiver start. We got ETN in the fourth and we had the
34:39opportunity to take a running back in the fifth and however we took Lamar Jackson instead. And the stream that we did yesterday, I think we took Lamar at
34:47the 505, something like that or maybe the Lamar pick was at the 504. But really clearly in the stream yesterday that led to our running back room being
34:58entirely too weak. So, if we are too far behind at either wide receiver or running back through the first four rounds, I don't think we can justify
35:08taking the elite quarterback here in the fifth. But once we take Judkins, um I'm not going to pretend like all of a
35:14sudden our running back position is solved and we fixed everything, but we're in a better position than we were.
35:20And I think it wouldn't be the end of the world if we were to go through and take an elite quarterback in the sixth.
35:25But after we take Judkins, we have Christian Watson, Jameson Williams, and Carnell Tate all off.
35:32Now, I will remind y'all real quick if you have not done so already. If you want to enter in to win a free
35:40flogfantasy.com season pass, that way you have the custom draft sheets for your drafts, that way you have the real-time draft assistance, blah blah
35:46blah. Um, all you got to do is drop a like on this stream and then type the word season pass into the live chat.
35:53Those two things will enter you in to win a free flockfantasy.com season pass.
35:58Okay.
36:01Now, Bitter Hornet says, "Hey, Mason, Better Hornet saw a clip of you beating Avery last year when Hampton burned a mist." That was one of my favorite
36:10moments of all like all year.
36:13My favorite moments in the Flock League last year. One, whenever I beat Avery because the Marin Hampton fumble and I literally called it before it happened.
36:22And two, when Bush gave a speech because he was so excited thinking got he got into the playoffs and he just needed
36:30like Lad McConi to not get outscored by Cameron Dicker by like four points and he somehow found a way to lose and then
36:38I ran over and woke up Mrs. Flock to tell her that Bush missed the playoffs.
36:44Those were probably my favorite moments in the Flock league um from this past year. So, the draft sheets have Tyler Warren and Jayen
36:52Daniels as my two highest ranked players. Um, I'm probably going to take Tyler Warren here. Obviously, Daniels does look more a little more appealing
36:59with the dig stuff now, but um Tyler Warren in the sixth round based on where we've seen some of these other tight end
37:05values be. I think it's completely reasonable and I think we can afford it at this point. Again, I'm not going to
37:11tell you that we have a good running back room. Like the draft assistant now after we take Tyler Warden saying we're
37:17good on tight end points. We don't need to take any more tight ends. Um, we're pretty good on wide receiver. We don't
37:21need to take wide receiver for quite some time. We still very much need help at running back and obviously we need to
37:27take a QB. But, um, I think we've done an okay job catching up at running back with a combination of ETN and Judkins.
37:35We at the very minimum have a couple guys that we can start early in the season and then obviously Sammy could be
37:41a waiverwire warrior for us and hopefully find another running back or two.
37:46Okay.
37:48Fuji says, "I still remember the live stream after the Hampton fumble and you did the gritty. I've never seen you so
37:53happy. It was one of the best nights of my life."
37:57And yeah, the I'm not effing leaving.
37:59So, I'll let y'all in on a little bit of the behind the scenes on um like Flock League stuff, right? If y'all
38:13watch the Flock League off camera, I make fun of A and not Avery, Nathan Bush, and Danny so much
38:25for never making the playoffs.
38:28I give them so much crap. And of course, the natural reaction is for Bush to fight back, blah blah blah.
38:38And he's saying, "Oh, you have no idea what I'm going to do this year. I'm so I'm I'm going to be so good this year.
38:44I'm so motivated. yada yada yada. But if one of those three, which there are definitely going to be one of those
38:51three guys that have never made the playoffs, they're going to miss the playoffs again this year. It is going to make the trash talk and the crap that I
39:00give them again on camera and off camera, like Bush, I'm pretty sure, hates me at this point. It's going to make it that much sweeter that I cannot
39:10wait. And I am rooting for Bush to make to not make the playoffs so bad this year just so I can keep making fun of
39:18him.
39:20Okay, now let's go through and let's play Sammy's next message on here. I think he gave us some good feedback.
39:31>> Honestly, Mason, at this point, I expect more from you. Zufa is so in your head that you're >> What the hell are you talking about Zufa
39:43for?
39:45>> Tyler Warren over Brian Thomas Jr.
39:48rookie sensation had an injury riddled second year. You're taking Tyler Warren over that guy because you're so scared of Parker Washington and Zufa.
39:59>> Okay, brother. I promise you the zeu is not anywhere near this beautiful noggin of mine when I'm making that Tyler
40:05Warren pick. What's near my mind making this Tyler Warren pick is we have St.
40:10Brown, London, and Devont Smith. And if I take another wide receiver in the sixth round, I'm going to be ridiculed by the live chat.
40:18That's what's in my head.
40:21Not Parker freaking Washington.
40:26Okay.
40:32Now, Alec Pierce goes to the 705. Let me pull up what my sheets have.
40:39Okay.
40:41Again, I'm no longer taking tight ends once we take Tyler War in there.
40:47I don't want to say anything until we're on the clock.
40:55Aro says, "Mason, I was watching a different streamer and he said UD won't be doing BBM next year. Is there any
41:01truth to that?" Who the hell said that?
41:05I have not heard that, but who is saying it?
41:11My highest ranked player is Jaylen Herz, and there's no way that Herz makes it back to us right now. Another draft
41:17assistant saying there's a 93% chance that Jayen Herz would get drafted if we pass on him here.
41:24F it. I think we take Herz.
41:29We're We're going to do it. We're going to take Jaylen Herz. This is a four-point passing touchdown format.
41:34Six-point passing touchdown league.
41:35Obviously Jaylen Herz a little bit less appealing. Six-point passing touchdown league. You're probably better off just waiting, going ahead and getting Dak
41:42Prescott.
41:43But um I just heard something get smacked around in the house in the other room. So if a burglar comes through
41:52behind me, chat, let me know. If you see a burglar walk up behind me, sneaking all tippy toe like yell something.
42:03206 says, "Avery confirmed today that you're 411 and weigh 98 pounds." Okay.
42:09Um that's nice of Avery. I will say that I am actually only 411 with my shoes on.
42:17If I have my shoes off, I'm 49. But stand on my money and I'm 610. Is that the little Uzi line? Or stand on Avery's
42:27money and I'm 610.
42:33Now, after we take Herz, we kind of want to see Caleb Williams get drafted because I may feel a little silly if
42:39Caleb Williams just makes it back to us in the eight.
42:45Okay.
42:50Okay.
42:53Aro says, "I can't remember his name, but I know on Underdog his name is Pak."
42:59Okay. I don't know if a random streamer you don't even know the name of is a
43:07good reliable source of what Underdog is going to be doing in the future or not.
43:15Okay, now Chris Godwin goes to the 801.
43:26Dylan says he said you are every bit as short as he is rich. All right, let's go ahead. Let's pull me up next. Okay, we
43:32know Avery. Y'all have seen Avery in the Flock League. You've seen his lake behind his house. You've seen his movie theater. You've seen his studio. You've
43:43seen all the proof. Let's go ahead and let's pull up some photos of me next to famous people that y'all know for
43:51reference.
43:52Okay.
43:56Okay. Real quick, we're about to be on the clock. Tuba Hubard. If he would have made it to this in the middle of the
43:59eighth, that would have been a phenomenal value.
44:02But let me swing this around. Again, I am not looking at tight end. We are I'm not looking at quarterback either. It's
44:09just running back, wide receiver. We have like a couple running backs here at the top for us.
44:18I think Kyle Manungi would be my pick, but with his current injury, I'm going to go ahead and take JK Dobbins instead.
44:26We're going to take Dobbins in the eighth.
44:29All right, so here's some proof. Mason Dodd on Instagram. Look it up if you haven't already. Here's me standing next to
44:37somebody who just got paid Avery Huffman type money with Bejon Robinson.
44:43Um, how tall is Bejon? Bjan Robinson height?
44:495'11.
44:53What did I say? I'm 48.
44:56In this photo below, you can't tell, but I'm wearing heels.
45:00Now, look at the proof on the other end of Avery. Look at his studio. Look at the lake behind his house.
45:07Look at the fact that he drives a Bentley.
45:10So, putting these pieces together. He's throwing smoke in y'all's direction.
45:15Okay, now we have Yeah, we didn't realize Bejon was so short. When you see Bejon out there on the field, just realize
45:23he's 4 foot 10 inches.
45:28Now, Jonathan Brooks off at the 807.
45:32Same round as Chuba. I mean, I saw on Twitter people are now taking on some platforms Jonathan Brooks over Chuba Hubard, which is something that I
45:42personally cannot do, will not do. I understand the thought process, right?
45:48Jonathan Brooks is the shiny new car.
45:51And I want to root for my guy. Hook him horns as always. Come on.
46:03Okay. Rome says, "Mason only added me to the flock league to make him look taller." Incorrect. That's why I added Davis, my friend.
46:11I'm going to be honest, Rome. You could tell me that you were 6'6 or 5 foot six and I wouldn't know the difference. I
46:18would I would have no idea. No way of knowing.
46:26Okay, now Josh DS goes at the 811.
46:38Elite Ball Knowledge says, "Mason, I love that y'all added defense and kicker to the flock site. I don't really care too much about them, but it's nice to
46:45look at before my draft." Yeah, I'm going to be honest. I have not. I know other creators on flockfasantasy.com are going through and ranking those
46:54kickers and defenses. I am not because I would legit have no idea how to, but um there are other creators on
47:06flockfantasy.com rankings defense ranking defenses and kickers. I'll be ranking defenses during the season, like weekly defenses based on matchups because a lot of that's just
47:16based off sportsbook data. But in terms of like ranking seasonl long defenses, it's like there are three guys that you'd be excited to hold all season and
47:24then the other defenses you're just gonna stream.
47:31Okay.
47:33Elite ball of knowledge decide to even rank a kicker. I don't know, my friend.
47:36Other creators on the side are, but not me. Stefon Diggs goes off at the 903. I move Stefon Diggs in my rankings ahead
47:43of a lot of these other guys. I think he's a great pick at this range. I had digs ahead of Jacobe Meyers. I'm ahead
47:49of Josh DS. I have him ahead of Wandell Robinson, ahead of Michael Pitman, ahead of Jaden Reed. I'm ahead of Chris
47:55Godwin. Like, I think it would have been a reasonable pick to take Stefon Digs where we took JK Dobbins.
48:03Spencer says, "We need a Rome vers Zufa week one matchup in the Flock League."
48:10Rome says, "Zufa stood up from his chair and didn't get taller." What the hell?
48:19Harold Fannon finally off at the 905.
48:21I'm pretty sure Sleeper has had Harold Fannon as like the best available pick over the past two rounds.
48:30Cactus says MMason stood up from his chair and got shorter. That's just cuz I got a booster seat in my chair, my
48:35friend.
48:39Now Harold Fannon after he goes, we're up in two picks again. I'm not looking at quarterback or tight end. I'm just
48:47strictly running back and receiver.
48:52We're gonna keep spamming some crap running backs here.
49:01Jordan Mason goes, let's figure out what we're going to go with.
49:12Sleeper has it as gain well. Ivan has gained well as well with my draft sheets.
49:17I think we're going to take him. He's less appealing now that we see that Bucky Irving's running around and Bucky Irving looks good at camp, but they did
49:25pay Gainwell a ton of money.
49:29Like, let me go ahead and pull this up.
49:31If y'all haven't seen Gainwell got 9.8 million guaranteed at
49:46signing.
49:48For reference, the running back that left that backfield with Rashad White got 1.7 million guaranteed at signing.
50:00So 1 7 million for Rashad White and 9.8 million guaranteed for Bucky. I'm sorry, not Bucky Gain. Well,
50:10so that type of money does make me think that he's going to have a role here in a full PBR format. Like I actually had him
50:16in the flock league last year and I was throwing him in my second flex spot.
50:23Okay, Dart goes 1002. Let me pull up the draft assistant real quick. We're just looking
50:33at running backs and receivers.
50:38Shoot. F me. Um, Lawrence off the board.
50:42Aaron Jones goes, I realized that I had pulled this up too far and showed the names. Um, my top guys are Rodriguez,
50:49Jaylen Coker. Here's the deal. Rodriguez still injured. Damn good chance he makes it back to us. Um, with Jaylen Coker, I
50:57think that he is getting a very clear bump with the Chris Brazzle stuff and that now there's just less wide receiver
51:03competition behind him and here double flex format. I could see the path of him hitting our starting lineup. So, we'll go ahead and take him at the 105 and
51:12he's our fourth receiver.
51:15Fantasy football garage, happy to see you, my friend. And hopefully we get to see you at the Flock League draft says
51:21Gainwell's good. Makes me worried about Buckyy's workload. Yeah, which I think that is priced in with Bucky here of course like Bucky was going at the two
51:30three turn or middle of the second round in drafts last year where he's going in the fifth this year. So it does feel
51:35like people are generally concerned obviously one with the injury stuff for Bucky, but also the fact that wouldn't be that surprising at all if Gainwell
51:43did have himself a nice little role, especially as a receiver, right?
51:51Okay, now
52:04move this rounds.
52:24Quarterbacks going with Pertie and Dak.
52:26If I do take a second quarterback, it's not going to be till the very end. I doubt we take a second one here anyway
52:30when we have Jaylen Herz. It will be interesting because obviously I know quarterbacks in reddraft leagues are very dependent on the exact league that
52:38you're playing in. Like if every single person in your league takes a second one, it's like crap. Maybe you need to
52:44go through and make sure that you have a respectable bench player. But there'll be other leagues like the Flock League where you take Jayen Herz. It's like no
52:53way in hell I'm dropping a second quarterback. I'm starting this dude every week and I can always find one off the waiverwire.
52:59But it will be interesting to see what the majority of y'all do in these drafts with us.
53:05Debo Samuel goes to the 1102.
53:23Alier 11:03. Let me pull this around.
53:28I'm pretty sure. Yeah, we still don't have enough value at running back. We're good at wide receiver. We're good at tight end. We're good at quarterback.
53:37We need to play some catch-up here still at the running back position and just hope that we hit on one of these late
53:42round guys as we have ETN, Judkins, Dobbins, and Gainwell. So, let me pull up our sheets. I'm going to just look at
53:49running back, wide receiver.
53:52Sort this by my ranks.
53:58Yeah. So, I have it as Tyron Tracy being the best pick here. We're going to take Tracy in the 11th. Very clear handcuff
54:05to Scataboo where behind Scataboo, there's really nobody else in this dep chart other than Tracy. It's not like Scataboo's been the best picture of
54:14health with the Giants. It's not like he's 100% coming into this season. So, I think it's a high value handcuff running back
54:24that we can take. And also Tracy's looked okay at times where he has been asked to carry the load.
54:35Okay, Isaiah likely off at the 1109.
54:41This is just a super awkward team.
54:45Like this is going to be a team where the Waverwire just freaking churns the bottom end of the roster.
54:52And a lot of it is going to be built around what that Philadelphia Eagles passing offense looks like because not only do we have Herz, but we also have
54:59Devont Smith as well. After we take Tracy, you got likely Denzel Boston, Jonah Coleman all off the board.
55:10Okay.
55:21Okay. Matthew Stafford 1201.
55:44Swing this back over.
55:55Let me pull up our draft assistance, too.
56:00Okay, I got something to cooking. It's a brewing. It's in the oven. I've set that oven to 350.
56:12Spears off at the 123. We are one pick away.
56:19Knockout. I see you're saying the mock drafts on fogfant fantasy.com aren't working. Don't worry, I already sent that over to the editors. It's been hell
56:27drafting next to side in all night long.
56:29I was literally about to take Brandon Aubrey here.
56:34Brutal run out because Sammy's been weighing in and I know what Sammy wants at this pick. I will give him his
56:41choice. I will give him um the guy that he likes. I will take Travis Hunter for you, brother. Here's a Travis Hunter
56:50pick for you at the 1205.
56:53Um, what will probably end up happening, again, I hope this isn't the case, but the most likely scenario is we get to
57:00week one, we see he's not really playing. He's on the off I'm sorry, he's on the defensive side of the ball, and
57:09we're going to have to go through and we're just going to have to cut him.
57:11That's probably what happens. But there's a non0% chance that Travis Hunter is a wide receiver for the Jackson Jaguars this next season. And
57:20he's a much better wide receiver than anybody else on the board in this range, but he probably ends up just getting
57:26cut.
57:28Now, I will get a message from Sammy. I guess Sammy is still here. Let's see what Sammy says about the Travis Hunter pick.
57:39Let's go.
57:42>> Okay. A very weird Let's Go. A Let's Go that was not so much of excitement as it was a bird that sounded like it was
57:52getting stomped on, but nonetheless, I appreciate the sentiment, my friend. And let me go ahead and get ready to give away the free
58:04floasy.com season pass. It's your last chance to enter the giveaway. If you want to enter the giveaway again, what you need to do is drop a like on this
58:13live stream and then type the word season pass into the live chat. You do those two things, you will be entered.
58:21And the winner did end up claiming the season pass from last night's live stream, which is always good to see.
58:31But we have Deshawn Stribbling off at the 1210.
58:34Let me go through, grab these names. I like that Deshawn's dribbling pick now that we have all the injuries in San
58:43Francisco. And oh crap, we are actually frozen here. Let me move this around for y'all.
58:54Okay, so we're going to put in the new names for the giveaway tonight. Looks like we did have less people enter
59:01tonight as opposed to yesterday. And we will spin this wheel. And if you already got a season pass or you're already a
59:11mother flocker on the site, we'll still get you hooked up with some free stuff.
59:14Get you hooked up with some free start set and trade questions. But the winner of this giveaway is Kenny XXX Powers.
59:21Kenny Powers, appreciate you. Love the show, of course. But please let me know what your flockfantasy.com username is and I'd be super happy to go ahead and
59:30hook you up with a free season pass.
59:35Okay.
59:38Fuji says, "Taking a Niners player late is always good because something is in their water and there will be an injury."
59:45I don't hate I don't hate the process. I don't hate the thought process.
59:50Evan confirms what everybody was thinking. The wheel was rigged. It was.
59:56You know why? Because we love Kenny Powers.
60:01I love the random YouTube account in the live chat that I've never seen their name pop up in the chat before. They're
60:08my absolute favorite. So, I decided to rig it for them. And I said, "You know what?
60:15F Ev Evan. What has Evan W574 ever done for me? Let's go. Kenny XX powers.
60:25Okay, now Myers goes at the 1304 and let's get ready for our next pick.
60:40Let me see if there are any exciting handcuff running backs we still got.
60:47You like Samson? And Bigsby goes here.
60:54Do we just take freaking Dylan Samson?
60:56Actually, we're not even on the clock.
61:11What are you doing? Egg Puka goes Dylan Samson. So, we get sniped. We can go Shawn Tucker. I mean, it is somewhat
61:18interesting taking Gainwell and Tucker together and just goes, "What happens if Bucky's shoulder toast, go Mike Washington, gets Shawn Tucker on
61:28the way back?" Because the draft system saying there's only a 2% chance he gets taken.
61:34Let's go Mike Washington here. What I think I may start doing with these drafts that are this early in August, I
61:40mean, y'all have seen me do this in the Flock League drafts over the past few years as well. It's not like I'm just
61:44doing it in these is my last few rounds.
61:48I like just going running back, running back, running back. And what happens if we get an injury before the year? I
61:54mean, y'all remember the actual strategy I had at the end of the Flockley draft last year is I just went running back,
62:00running back, running back. Our last round pick, I got Jaka Cross Merritt and ended up being able to trade him for a
62:06pretty good hall like two weeks later.
62:10So, I don't think it's the worst idea in the world. Obviously, we'd be sacrificing a kicker or a DST we'd be
62:18excited about outside of Brandon Aubrey.
62:22Not going to sit here and act like I'm super confident with any of these kickers. I know like again, Meyers performed very well last year, but just
62:30because he performed very well last year doesn't inherently mean that will be the case this year.
62:42Okay, Rams go with the 1311. Rams have the best defense in the league, but they also have a tough week one matchup
62:48against the Niners.
62:55Okay, Kyler off at the 1402. Getting Kyler with your last round pick does just make it very enticing, of course.
63:06to go ahead and just plan on taking a quarterback at the very end of your draft.
63:27Sean Tucker does go 1403.
63:30Like the defense I've been taking a decent amount here at the end is just the Chargers because the Chargers get to
63:35play against the Cardinals week one, but there's still handcuffed running backs here that I think like could be a differencemaking player if the starter
63:44were to go down in front of them.
63:49Eagles go 1404. I think we're just going to continue to take those handcuff RBs.
63:54I think we're to grab Ray Davis here in the 14th. Obviously the handcuff to James Cook. Again, I will reiterate like
64:03if we don't draft a kicker in a defense in this league, what we would just do is right before week one, we're gonna have
64:08to cut Ray Davis. We're going to have to cut Not going to tell you my next handcuff running back we're going to
64:12take, but we'll have to cut him as well to pick up that kicker in DST right before week one.
64:18But again, if we end up getting a James Cook injury in camp or we end up getting a James Cook injury in the preseason,
64:26then all of a sudden we just had a massive, massive hit. Whether or not we decide to start Ray Davis ourselves or
64:36whether or not we decide to actually try to leverage Ray Davis as some trade bait and get an upgrade that's meaningful
64:42elsewhere in the lineup, especially if we were to trade that away from the James Cook team.
64:48But I think that should be it for this stream. Here's the squad. We have the top wide receivers. We have running
64:55backs with ETN and Judkins. We can start week one. We have the elite tight end, elite quarterback. And then primarily in
65:02these final rounds, we are just taking as many shots as we can at running backs. Hoping that we hit one or two,
65:07but with the understanding that most of these guys are going to get cut to the waiver wire um at the beginning of the
65:13season and we'll cycle them through. But I really appreciate you ladies and gentlemen. Thank you so much for hanging out with us. Obviously, I'm going to be
65:20live tomorrow, the next day, the next day, the next day. I will be live drafting every single night until Christmas. And if you want to join a
65:29draft with us, all you got to do is subscribe. Come hang out with us in the stream. And yeah, if y'all wanted to
65:36have a good chance at winning your league this year, I'd recommend the season pass. It's 34 bucks. Get everything from all your favorite
65:42creators on YouTube. And at the same time, again, um, you'll get those custom draft sheets. You'll get those real-time draft assistants for your Sleeper, ESPN,
65:51Yahoo drafts. And again, I'm going to be using those custom draft sheets for my league this year. And my league matters
65:57literally more than anything in the world to me. Just make sure you use code flock. That way, you get those free
66:01starts at trade questions um, set up with me this year. But much love, ladies and gentlemen. I really appreciate you and I will hopefully see you out in the
66:12live
