0:01What's going on, man? Welcome back to the basement.
0:07I'm Ron.
0:09And we are here for a special mock draft. It is the eve of Yuriy League Mates fantasy football draft. That is of course the
0:20content creator league with me, BDGE, so Nicker Collano, J Moe.
0:26I hate that I'm like leaving people out, but then you got snapback, of course.
0:29You have Joe who's on BDGE, you have Icey Veerb, the Settlemans, the whole nine yards we got.
0:36Uh Nerd Session the league, and this is going to be our prep.
0:41Because as you can see at the top here, we play in a super flex league. This is something that I don't really do much
0:47of. So, I just updated the entire Basement Draft Guide uh super flex rankings, and here's what we're going to do. I am going to pull up
0:58those rankings on the side.
1:00We're going to do a fun mock draft here to pretty much this is a uh prep session where we're going to do
1:07a super flex mock draft to get ready for Yuriy League Mates.
1:12Uh we'll talk super flex strategy, and then after we're done with this mock, we'll kind of go over cuz tomorrow they're going to do the ping pong balls
1:19for um draft order.
1:25So, after this, we'll get a feel for kind of how the board looks, and then we'll talk about uh how I feel about draft order in terms
1:32of, you know, we'll see what happens when my ping pong ball is called, what will be available. Uh so, all right,
1:40let's get this started. Let's get this started. I'm going to put the Sleeper link in the chat. I'm going to be
1:45drafting against you guys. I'm going to get the Basement Draft Guide all set up.
1:50It is a beautiful thing. Of course, if you have a draft coming up, especially super flex, I added super flex rankings
1:55to the draft guide, you can find that on the basement draft guide.com.
2:01And here we go. I'm going to put the link in the chat.
2:04Whoever gets in gets in.
2:07Here you all go. Bang.
2:12And it'll just be first come first serve.
2:15Yeah.
2:17First come first serve. Pull on up.
2:19We'll randomize the draft order when full.
2:22And then we'll get going here.
2:26I'm excited. I also I just put out a big update on the superflex side of things.
2:30Pretty much it just nail everything in in terms of how I view things going into tomorrow.
2:36I'm excited. Superflex is a it's a it's a curveball of a format, but I think we'll be all right. Let's do this. Let's
2:43randomize the order.
2:46Has everybody claimed a team?
2:48All right, here we go.
2:5030-second clock, superflex.
2:53I'm going to randomize the order.
2:55I stay at five already, and we are going to start the draft.
3:01$20 super chat.
3:05Let me get this synced up with the draft guide.
3:16Bang.
3:21Super chat from you. I appreciate it, Andy. You said 10-man happy PR league is a weird format. Three wide receivers, two running backs, two flex. I send wide
3:29receivers early and go for a no running back build. I wouldn't go no running backs, but I definitely would want to
3:34build out a strong wide receiver core.
3:38I disregard the early hero. No.
3:40I I I would definitely would want to mix in a running back.
3:47Yeah, no. You guys really You guys really shouldn't watch what I put on tape today.
3:52Um not my best showing, no doubt.
3:55Uh we're going to go Puka here.
3:58You could talk me into Lamar, but we're going to go Puka and see what comes back.
4:04You're in the 10 hole. Hell yeah, you're in the seven.
4:10You know what base I dream of getting locked in? Yo, chill.
4:13It filled way too fast. I mean, yeah, I mean, it's only 12 people can get in.
4:16I'm sorry, fellas.
4:18Yeah, we're getting comments from today at the softball game. Yeah, dude, it's not uh look, man.
4:25I didn't grow up playing baseball.
4:28I was given a janky ass glove.
4:30>> [snorts] >> Um and I can't even really blame it on the glove. It's just uh baseball is just not my thing.
4:36It was certainly a humbling experience.
4:38It was certainly humbling.
4:41Comments were killing me.
4:43Feel like I let the BDG guys down.
4:46Going to have a worse draft pick because of it.
4:49Um Overall, a negative experience, I would say. I mean, shout out to the BDG guys for having me out there, but that
4:57sucked.
5:01It was essentially It was essentially an all-day humiliation ritual.
5:10Are we going to get a only tight ends that matter video? Probably not.
5:12Probably not. Uh I covered tight end pretty pretty extensively in uh the draft strategy video that I did a while back, but it's nothing crazy in
5:21terms of tight ends, like it's just a different it's a different I guess like calculus there.
5:33Yeah, you can use uh you can use the draft guide on mobile.
5:38Hero wide receiver start video from you?
5:39I feel like I covered like I I think that that's where we jumped the start the the shark, like hero RB and double
5:45hero RB can both be hero wide receiver if you just take a wide receiver round one. And I feel like I have mocks on
5:50both of those videos of me taking a receiver round one, you know?
5:56So, now we're in an interesting spot.
5:58Everybody has kind of neglected quarterback here.
6:02Uh I think because I went Puka and I and I think we still have a pretty heavy bias towards like not a bias, but we
6:12talked through you need to have as many of these running backs that are gone through round two. Um I'd rather break the tie and go with Saquon
6:19here. So, we'll go Saquon and we'll see what comes back.
6:26Not a real draft. No, this is just uh some practice.
6:31Didn't get to catch the softball game.
6:32I'm sure they'll do some kind of recap video and I'm the lowlights on that are going to be tough. It just sucks, man.
6:38Is the order the ping pong balls get picked? Uh no, that becomes your priority of when you get to pick your
6:43draft slot.
6:49Uh not spooked on the Puka injury just yet.
6:52Lottery's going to be tomorrow literally when we pull up.
6:58It's tough quarterback It's not beef with quarterback. It's just that quarterback feels so deep. It just feels so deep, man. Like we we look at all
7:05these quarterbacks.
7:07Like if my starting two quarterbacks were like I don't know, like Brock Purdy and Kyler Murray, uh I I wouldn't be upset about
7:17it.
7:20There goes Jente.
7:31What do you mean we can't even get a a draft or you got some bread on it?
7:34It's superflex.
7:36We Look, you can't have you can't have it all every which way, fellas. You can't have it every which way. I can't have comments crying that I
7:44never do superflex, and then I do superflex and it's like, "Oh, you don't have money on it."
7:48And it's like, respectfully, >> [clears throat] >> wow, this is a pretty This is where I'll take Jalen Hurts, I think.
7:59It's really tough passing on Drake London, but I think Jalen Hurts is a tiebreaker at quarterback.
8:08I know, but Underdog like I I like Obviously, we love Underdog, but it's not it's not prep for the superflex draft,
8:16you know?
8:20Like best ball's a different calculus when it comes to uh superflex.
8:36Y'all killing me.
8:38Hurts even with Saquon? Yeah, I'm fine with that.
8:42Yeah, the pitch pick isn't great, but I mean, I guess sometimes you just get your guys.
8:57But how's everybody doing? I feel like I I feel like you guys are coming off hostile, man. I finally, you know,
9:02finally pay some respect to superflex format, and I'm in here getting killed.
9:08And like I said, like respectfully, all of my leagues are essentially a charity league mates. It is my home league, and
9:13then every other league I play in is $350 or more.
9:18And I only have so much bandwidth for all the leagues that we play in terms of real money stuff. So, adding another one
9:22on that's like just simply a sleeper setup.
9:25We're going to have a a subscriber league as well here uh in early September. So, be on the lookout for that. So,
9:32I don't know. I'll That's like the other one that I toss on.
9:35So, So, I'm doing waivers for 20 plus leagues every week, like doing a super flex one, I just can't get there.
9:45I thought I thought everyone would be stoked we're doing super flex. I'm honestly I want this to be like super flex strategy hour. Like let's talk
9:51through how we're going to attack the super flex draft, where things change, how I see the board.
9:59Let's have some fun.
10:03There we go. There we go.
10:05Did I enjoy the softball game today? No.
10:08But I appreciate the BDG guys whenever they invite me to do anything. So, it's not sour grapes or anything. It's just um
10:19I don't enjoy I don't enjoy like I don't enjoy letting people down and I feel like I let the BDG guys down today.
10:33And then like the guys that Snapback got to play were like essentially ringers. Like some of the best players on the field were from the
10:40Snapback side.
10:42Um let's do So, we have Saquon locked in. This is where things get interesting.
10:49I think I'm going to go Flowers and we'll see what comes back.
10:53Because I locked in Jalen Hurts, I don't really feel a ton of pressure to do anything else at quarterback for a little bit here.
11:05What's up, Major Knight? What's up? Will finally be Malik Willis season on the channel? I mean I I don't mind Malik
11:10Willis. I've talked about him as a a target.
11:14Probably going Gibbs. I would have Gibbs over Josh Allen as well. I think I I would go Gibbs, Josh Allen, and then
11:20like my one quarterback rankings until James Cook is off the board and then I would talk about Lamar.
11:27Herbert over Dak? I think that's just preference.
11:35>> Yeah, we do a subscriber like tournament is what I would call it where there's four leagues.
11:39Uh we do a lottery system to get into the four leagues and then it's like a tournament. It's very similar It's like
11:44a similar setup to the high stakes stuff we do where half the pot gets split uh into the individual leagues and then
11:50half the pot for the overall prize and it's a it's very fun.
12:06I meant tier break as in I have them all on the same tier.
12:10I was more so referencing that if I didn't take Hertz or I guess one of these other three quarterbacks, nobody was coming back is really what I more
12:17more so meant.
12:23Yep, dropped the fly ball at the softball game.
12:25>> [laughter] >> Really really bad performance.
12:31Good video on feel like superflex is getting uh hard. Yeah, exactly. That's why superflex videos are so tough because every room is different. Uh like
12:38it it's really difficult to do a strategy video for a superflex.
12:44It's really difficult to even make rankings for superflex. Like it all just comes down to your room, you know? There's going to be some rooms
12:51where, you know, in this draft Daniels goes 204. There's going to be some rooms where we see six quarterbacks go in the
12:57first round.
12:59So it's really difficult.
13:07Any thoughts on taking Saquon ahead of Jente? Yeah, no. I moved down Jente. I think it's crazy with Jente right now.
13:16Um what was I going to say? All right, so there goes Waddle. We're going to take T and just build out these receivers. This
13:23is a You got to remember too, this is a league where it's three wide receiver one flex. So a lot of value does slant
13:27towards the wide receiver in this league.
13:32I would think long and hard about Dart and Mahomes here, but with Hurts up top, I'd rather I'd rather just keep building
13:37out the receivers.
13:42That's where That's where I have him.
13:43Dude, I I'm not believing the reports on Jeudy, by the way. Like I I think that they're covering something up. I I know
13:48that like I'm putting on a tin foil hat here. I think there's more to the story than like, "Oh, no, he just twisted his
13:53ankle." Like, dude, you don't wait 6 hours to diagnose what the hell happened, just to say, "Oh, yeah, he just twisted his ankle." Like,
14:02my expectation is this is like a severe high ankle sprain, and he's in play to like get put on IR. I know that that's like
14:11crazy to say, but that's just what my tin foil hat like theory is saying. I really don't think it's as simple as
14:17like, "Oh, yeah, no, he's all good."
14:19I would say what happened to him I would say in my mind I view his injury more severe than Breece Hall and Jeremiah
14:23Love. I do.
14:26The reporting has been wonky. I think Schefter It was either Schefter or Rappaport went on McAfee today and was It was just like there's not There's
14:33like a lack of clarity uh that is really, really bothering me.
14:47Uh there'll be a Google Form on September 1st. I'll send out a Google Form on the Patreon.
14:53Yeah, I would call this hero quarterback or it'd be something like that.
14:56Yeah, no, the Uardy League Mates guys, I I didn't know what to expect last year.
15:01They definitely let quarterbacks fall.
15:03Again, it's it's all about playing the room. This is like not a quarterback hungry room at all.
15:08Uh so, I don't feel a ton of pressure after Hurts to go crazy until I start seeing my quarterbacks like that That's
15:15where it really comes down to. Like, the tiers and everything are good, but when it comes to um when it comes to the
15:23rankings, it's much more of like, okay, I I have like right now I'm staring at six quarterbacks in the same tier, even
15:30though all of them are on my my best available players. Like I'm going to wait and just try and catch quarterbacks
15:35on the end of their tiers if that makes sense.
15:38Not the best showing. I look too stiff.
15:40No, you're right.
15:41I I never I mean, I never played baseball.
15:45It's tough, dude. I look stiff swinging the bat.
15:48It's tougher to catch the big ass ball, too. It doesn't quite fit in the glove.
15:52I don't know.
15:53It's just tough.
16:02Yeah, no. I wish I played baseball growing up.
16:09That's That's what I agree. That's what I agree. I'm I'm telling you I know that Gentry's not season-ending, but I don't
16:15think he's playing week one.
16:17And honestly, as I'm talking about it, I have him ranked like 28th behind Breece and ahead of Jeremiah Love.
16:23And the more I think about it, the more I like want to kind of bury him until we get like a firm answer. Cuz I think
16:27they're slow rolling it, too. Like because they're not playing anytime Like cuz Gentry's not playing anytime soon, there's no urgency for the Raiders to
16:35like give a concrete answer on anything, you know?
16:38Like they don't owe anybody anything.
16:41That's the tough part.
16:51All right, so we're about to be up here in a second.
16:54Let's see.
17:00The 608, Stafford goes.
17:21>> I'm going to take Skyler bow here.
17:26I'm going to take Skyler and see who comes back.
17:30That wasn't easy though.
17:35Oh my God. This guy in the three spot >> [laughter] >> Come on.
17:41I'm trying to do a good thing for everybody. I'm trying to do a fun superflex draft.
17:47Can I boot this guy?
17:59You hate to see it, man.
18:03Like a lot of people tried to join.
18:08I really don't get it.
18:16What's up, gut?
18:18Just in here moping about the softball game today.
18:21Just in here moping.
18:27They call me the least athletic man on the east side of the Mississippi.
18:31In a game that featured sexual tough tough I was look I mean look
18:54as somebody I got the BDG rankings. I mean I have it cuz I real talk the BDG guys I'm not sure. My
19:02my sub should be comped but I believe that I literally just pay I literally just pay Unk his [ __ ] monthly stipend or whatever.
19:11Um this one's tricky cuz I I have Kyler as my highest ranked quarterback available, but I'll be honest with you guys, I'm in a spot where
19:20I think and this is where superflex versus one quarterback gets tricky. I I'm more open to Kyler Murray in in one
19:25quarterback leagues, but in a league like this where I need um I like I I can't have any benching risk
19:37if that makes sense.
19:38So, that's a little bit of a flaw.
19:40And I don't really I don't quite have a fix for uh the superflex quarterback ordering, but it's definitely something to think
19:47about. Like benching risk in superflex is much more important.
19:54To me, I just didn't think we were going to get a quarterback back that I liked.
20:06But, this isn't easy.
20:13It's a really weird format superflex.
20:15Like everything that I've gotten used to all summer long is like completely thrown off.
20:21In terms of like target rounds and when to draft players where.
20:34How tall is good? That's that's federal.
20:36That's federal.
20:44What's the next video on deck? I'm not sure. Actually, I think tomorrow I think the plan for tomorrow is before I'm out the door, I would like to record
20:53a top 60 overall rankings video.
20:56Um just cuz I don't have to it it'll be me kind of just like showing off the draft guide.
21:03Going through the top 60 right now. Um especially after the Genny T thing.
21:08And just an easy cuz like these last two vi- these last two days have kind of been chalked for me to like sit down and
21:12do an outline, which like in a good way, you know what I mean? Like doing content with BDG and stuff, but um,
21:17so I think that'll be kind of a nice little finesse tomorrow of just like just going through my top 60, how I view
21:22the first five rounds, and all of that.
21:32This one with Goff is tough.
21:36I'm starting to wonder should should I have passed on Scat for a wide receiver? Like in a three wide receiver, one flex,
21:43it's so hard to keep up at receiver, and then also keep up at quarterback, and then also not feel like my running
21:51backs are shitty.
21:53It's a tough format.
22:08But I also I don't know. Like I I my If my QB2 I guess I'm curious what you guys think.
22:14Like if your QB2 is in this range. I mean, now we still have Malik Willis. I will say Malik Willis coming back to me
22:18sucks, cuz I think Malik Willis is like a fine option at QB2.
22:23Now we're in this spot.
22:27Metcalf goes. That's a nightmare.
22:32That is an absolute nightmare to have Metcalf go.
22:45So we reach on Josh Downs.
22:50And we see what comes back.
22:53I hate this draft, and this is why you do the mock.
23:01This is prep for your daily But this is actually this is a what not to do. This is a what not to do right
23:07now.
23:08To be real with everybody.
23:12Not a not what not a not not a what not to do. Geez, I can't speak.
23:17But the way that went, I wish instead of Skowronek, I went Watson, Evans, or Odunze.
23:25Then with Goff.
23:29You.
23:31Winny's pissing me off now.
23:33Um Actually, I don't know. Like Skowronek I Skowronek six away I think had to happen here.
23:45But now I'm in a spot now because I took Skowronek here, we got to just catch up our receiver.
23:51Cuz Warren and Harvey.
23:56I don't like any of the receivers available.
24:01People like this team?
24:03I I agree. And And this is the issue is I I don't know. I'm trying to think of like cuz in in my head I was thinking like
24:11Goff, Baker, Kyler are probably like as comfortable as I could be with a with my second round QB or my my QB2.
24:20But then you can think like how how nasty can you get between like Shuck, Malik Willis, Sam Darnold, Daniel Jones?
24:26Like are these guys you put in your QB2 spot and feel fine about?
24:30Not really.
24:33But if I pay up for a guy like Hurts, I might just fully punt it off like that and say screw it.
24:43There goes LaPorta. I would have taken LaPorta if he if he didn't go.
25:01>> Taking Jayden Reed.
25:08So that gives us receivers through the flex plus one.
25:13I debated I debated taking a running back there.
25:17But with where we took Skyy Moore in a three-wide receiver, I just want to keep spamming receivers.
25:24You don't mind shocking your QB 2.
25:31Uh my team is the five spot. We went Puka, Saquon, Jalen Hurts, Zay Flowers, Tee Higgins, Cam Skai Moore, Jared Goff, Josh Downs, Jayden Reed. If
25:39LaPorta came back, I would have maybe taken LaPorta. If If What am I trying to say?
25:49I debated Jonathan Yeah, I was going to say I debated Jonathan Brooks long and hard at this spot. I was like, "Oh,
25:54well, Jonathan Brooks can be a flex option for us, but I just would rather break the tie to a receiver."
26:03I mean, this team feels yucky, but you would feel great about these. I mean, it feels fine. It just feels like it's
26:07lacking depth, is all. And I'll also say the way that this league runs because the benches are so shallow, there's only 1 2 3 4 5 6 bench spots,
26:16the starting lineup is so deep that like tight end gets really devalued. It gets really devalued. I remember last year like
26:26Uh I don't know if Gut Stolen had him, but I feel like Gut um I feel like Gut had Trey McBride and
26:33like couldn't get anybody to really meaningfully bite on him.
26:36Uh so I really think you you don't want to pay up for tight end too hard in this.
26:41I probably want I think my game plan is going to getting as many wide receivers from this, you know, from round one
26:48through really to me where the cliff is is like Christian Watson, Mike Evans, Odunze. Small cliff. And that's honestly if you guys are checking
26:59out the basement draft guide, I actually made a a bunch of big changes to like this round 4-5 tier cuz I really do think
27:06that drafts right now because I don't feel great about this range of receivers whether that's Godwin, Downs, Metcalf, Elijah Moore, Golden. And there's a lot
27:13of fun running backs in this range, right? Like Rhamondre, you like Montgomery starting to fall, Jonathan Brooks, Jaylen Warren, Khalil Harvey.
27:21Uh there's even guys still on the board that I like that like And we talk about the dead zone, we talk
27:25about hero RB builds and punting off RB2.
27:29I want to I want as many of those round, you know, 1 through 6 receivers and then you can be done and then round 7 on, you
27:35know, you can take your um falling running back. You can take your uh Rhamondre, Jaylen Warren, Brooks, Bill. I know Bill I think Bill
27:45twisted something today. Blake Corum, JK Dobbins, like all of that. And you don't even have to get in on this fun. I mean
27:51this is crazy Keenan Allen, but you don't even have to get in on this fun of Michael Wilson, Concepcion, Pittman, Worthy. Like if you could be done with
27:58running back or you could be done with receiver at this point and just start hammering out RB2 flyers, that's where my head goes.
28:08And now we're in a spot here where it's like 10th round and Daniel Jones is still hanging around.
28:15I would debate taking him, but I almost feel like with benches so shallow, I almost just want to like punt off the
28:20position entirely.
28:29Yeah, I don't like my team either. I think my team is fine, but Your team will always like depth in this
28:37format. Yeah, it just bothers me cuz I'm always I'm always trying to have a lot of depth.
28:43We're going to take I don't know how you guys are going to feel about this, but we're going to take Yeah, we're going to take Daniel Jones.
28:49I think Daniel Jones is a good pick here.
28:51And then we're done at quarterback. What do you guys I think that you have to I think you probably want to hold three
28:56quarterbacks in this format, but that might have been a mistake.
29:00But I think in a perfect world you hold three quarterbacks.
29:09You regret taking McBride in this draft, yeah?
29:12Tight end is where it gets like tight end gets devalued here. And you got to I feel like you got a decent price on
29:16McBride.
29:27I'm coming around on my team, but I just think I could have I could have sequenced things a little bit better.
29:32Like I instead of Goff here, this could have been Malik Willis.
29:37Instead of Skyy Moore, this could have been another receiver. And then this Reed pick could have just been a running back, and then all of these could be
29:42running back.
29:46I agree. I'm just saying like with six bench spots, fellows, it gets it just gets, you know, it just gets tough.
29:52There's only so many bench or yeah, six bench spots. There's only so many bench spots to go around.
29:56So now I have four bench spots.
30:00Skyy Moore does at least free me up to not have to uh spam RB2 options here.
30:12I mean, you guys know, if there's one thing I'm going to do, it's it's spam wide receiver early.
30:16I'll say as well, I do kind of want to Actually, we'll do it after the draft.
30:21We'll do After the draft, we'll talk about some of the better-looking teams and then talk through uh if my ping-pong ball gets called,
30:29where I want to be picking on the board.
30:33Two drafts tonight? No, sorry, fellows.
30:34It's going to be It's going to be this.
30:37We'll do some closing thoughts, and then that'll be it. Um really just cuz I got to be up early tomorrow to be uh ready
30:43for this draft.
30:45And like I said, I'm going to be filming a video before.
30:57And wide receiver is now [ __ ] wiped.
31:09Wide receiver is now wiped.
31:11So, we're just going to take Dobbins.
31:14Dobbins is my highest-ranked player.
31:17Take Dobbins. He's a flex option.
31:19So, now I feel like I'm in a spot where we have, you know, we have satisfied the flex check tool.
31:24We have Puka, Flowers, T, Downs through the flex, Reed off the bench. So, our flex options are Downs, Reed, and Dobbins.
31:33Hurts, Goff. I think this is a good team. It's solid. It's just not like It's just really tough to build like an
31:38awesome team in this format, you know?
31:42Like this is a I think this is a well-built team so far. It's just really tough to be stoked about it, I guess.
31:52Sad that all the zero RB heroes have gone to the dark side watching ship-chasing hammer RBs early.
31:58I mean, we'll see. We'll see. If If the room falls a certain way, if this is a format where I think you could actually
32:03do zero RB. Uh This This format damn near dares you to go zero RB.
32:10Cuz if you just spam receivers, you pay up for an elite quarterback.
32:17Like if I did this team and Saquon gets sniped or something.
32:26I don't know. I probably wouldn't do it unless if I could get two of Jefferson or better, right? Like if I could Like
32:32if somehow superflex could push me, which is honestly why the 12 spot might be honestly I mean these are some awesome starts here if you just say no
32:40to QB.
32:42Like McCaffrey, Lamb, Cook, Jefferson.
32:46Um.
32:50I'm trying to think. I mean he didn't get it to fall a certain way but if I if I could somehow come out of there with
32:55like Amon-Ra St. Brown and Lamb.
32:58And then round three take a quarterback and then from there we can just build out. Like I'm not opposed to I'm not
33:03going to force zero RB obviously but.
33:05It's certainly an option I'm willing to I'm willing to entertain.
33:09I think the awesome teams come when you punt at quarterback. I think you're right.
33:14I [sighs] think you're right and it is interesting.
33:18Jack won the league last year. Actually let me let's pull up I'm going to pull up last year's draft board.
33:30Somebody was saying why was the stream late? I think it was just tough I mean.
33:34Shout out but it's just like getting a getting a stream set up in the middle of nowhere where there's no Wi-Fi and you
33:42have to like dude they had like a damn Starlink set up. I mean it's just it's not an easy feat is what I would say.
33:53Let's see this draft board. What what did Jack when did Jack take his first quarterback last year? And Nick is a
33:58good one to look at too.
34:05Obviously Nick and Jack were the ones who. Won it all or made it to the final.
34:11Nick took his quarterbacks round four and round five which I think that makes sense.
34:15Jack took his round six. I mean he got Drake May round six.
34:19Oh we're on the clock.
34:33I'm I'm to take Jakobi Meyers.
34:35In this format, I I mean in a three wide receiver, I'm fine taking Jakobi Meyers in round 12.
34:50Think here I'll be punting tight end is I I agree.
34:54Yeah, Jack 1 going robust.
34:57What you got for tight end? In this format, dude, I'm fine just punting tight end, bro. Like I'll I'll literally just You would be shocked last year how
35:04many startable options just became available.
35:08With because benches are so short, like any of these teams holding I mean with Kittle, this makes sense. I know this
35:13guy's on auto, but it's so tough to hold multiple tight ends in this format. Like last year, you could get Goedert off waivers, Harold
35:20Landry off waivers, Loveland down the stretch off waivers, Dawson Knox off waivers.
35:35Nick is square as [ __ ] Don't be mean about Nick.
35:46So, Jack really punted off QB2.
35:52Not even punted off, he just took two in round eight.
35:56But yeah, it's definitely just good to file away that like this league is going to wait on quarterbacks.
36:07That's still me like there's still going to come a time like to me, Jalen Hurts was too good to pass up here.
36:17All right, so now we're about to be up.
36:22See, this is why it's it's just too good to pass up like I I I maybe try and play with fire and wait one more round, but
36:27we have Hurts. Let's just lock in the Hurts to Goedertt thing.
36:31And then like I feel like that's fine by me. That's fine by me. I won't take a second tight end. We'll we'll go Dallas
36:36Goedertt and we'll play the wire.
36:44Yeah, exactly.
36:52Would you consider stashing Mendoza?
36:55Um I only would if like he's a tough one because if he's not going to get on the field and play
37:02I think that this guy played it way uh right like JMoney. Like if I if I have two quarterbacks like this I feel really
37:07good about I would.
37:08And I guess Hurts Hurts Goff uh is in that same ballpark, but I wouldn't add him.
37:15Trying to think of like Like on this team where it's Purdy, Stroud, Bryce like you're going to be trying to play one of Stroud, Bryce
37:25either week. Like you can't really afford to wait for Mendoza to get on the field.
37:40Uh I like Kincaid this year. Yeah.
37:45Let's put me up here.
37:52There should be a law that positions are the same color on draft boards across websites. That's interesting.
37:59Can't understand why anyone would think this team isn't chip worthy until I realize I'm a Birds fan.
38:04Yeah, I don't know. I'm fine I'm fine. I mean it's tight end, running back, quarterback all on the Eagles.
38:10I'm fine with it.
38:11Discovered you from BDGE and now I'm rooting for you to win your league mates. Let's get it this season. Hell yeah, dude. Hell yeah.
38:18I'd love to hear that.
38:21But looking around in terms of like teams that I like the most This auto team's not bad.
38:39It's just crazy in this format like Swift is a good pick on paper here until you get here and it's like
38:45Rhamondre's an awesome pick.
38:50I probably like my team the best as of right now, I'll be honest, but I'm still haven't I haven't done my full rounds
38:56on what everybody's working with.
39:01Let's do I guess we'll do Braelon Allen.
39:06Take a handcuff, why not?
39:11And then maybe Man, if you guys already Yeah, everyone's on the Cyrus Allen thing.
39:18Jacoby Lane off the board. Yeah, I mean this is a sicko draft.
39:22This is a sicko draft with Ron Stewart drafters.
39:26No, this is this is just a mock.
39:29The draft isn't live stream, but it'll be recorded and then it will be posted later this week.
39:39You were saying team four is solid?
39:41Chase, Burrow, Derrick Henry.
39:43This team is solid. Chase, Ladd, Waddle, Watson.
39:47Price, great price, Willis.
39:50I probably don't take LaPorta here and I probably take I probably take Jonathan Brooks here so that this can be Stribling, come back
40:01around.
40:06And maybe like QB2 somewhere in this range.
40:10But man, this format just makes it so damn tough to build out wide receiver through the flex the way that you guys know I want
40:17to.
40:18So, wide receiver through the flex plus one and that's really all you can get to.
40:34We got a super chat in here. What do you got?
40:36Uh would you trade Bill and Reed for Washington? Uh yes.
40:42Your team is Herbert. All right, hold on. Let's make this last pick here.
40:57I guess we'll just make a fun I think we will just do I guess I'll take Malachi Fields.
41:18I don't even like Malachi Fields, but I'm just taking an upside swing at receiver in this format. And then that's the final team. I would feel fine about
41:24this, but I wouldn't like I wouldn't leave the draft and be like this team like I wouldn't be stoked about it.
41:31I'd give this team a B plus.
41:34Jalen Hurts, Saquon, Skatabo, Puka, Zay Flowers, Tee Higgins, Dallas Goedert, Josh Downs, Jared Goff, Jayden Reed, Daniel Jones, JK Dobbins, Jakobi Meyers, Braelon Allen
41:46off the bench.
41:54All right, so you said what? You said would you trade Okay, I answered that. But, you said Bijan, Swift, Herbert, Bijan, Swift,
42:01Pickens, Collins, Loveland, Jaylen Worthy, Brooks.
42:06I think I would. I think I would.
42:10Yeah, no. I would feel good.
42:11I would feel good. Uh I just wouldn't be over the moon.
42:17You guys know me. I'm trying to I'm trying to build a super team, you know?
42:20I want to have an embarrassment of riches at wide receiver, and it's really tough to do that in this format. Um
42:27So, looking around the board, we like the team four.
42:30Chase to Burrow is awesome. Derrick Henry I mean awesome receivers. I do think that like a hero RB hero quarterback setup is
42:38probably the meta.
42:41Which is what this guy did. You know, you lock in honestly kind of like yeah.
42:46Hero quarterback, hero running back.
42:49Punt on running back until Judarian Price is nice.
42:52Get a falling Malik Willis. If Malik Willis goes though, how do you guys feel about the team if Malik Willis goes?
42:57If he doesn't get lucky that Malik Willis comes back to 809.
43:01Do you like this team as much if it's Burrow and like Daniel Jones and Stroud, you know? Like one of those
43:12two.
43:13I would say no. And that's where it gets to like playing with fire in this format where like I I think the way that I look at the
43:19quarterbacks you know, I wouldn't have Darnold in this year, but once Shock goes and once Malik Willis goes and we're talking
43:24about Darnold, Stroud, Cam Ward Daniel Jones, like I'd rather not have to rely on any of those guys week to week.
43:44That's where it gets really tough for me.
43:48Cuz like every I feel like superflex is almost a competition of like who can push quarterback the furthest and still feel
43:54really good about their team.
43:57But I like that he locked in Burrow as an anchor. I think getting an anchor in is nice.
44:05How did the one spot do? Bijan, I mean that's not what I would do, but let's say this is Gibbs.
44:12Bowers, Purdy.
44:14I don't like this.
44:16That's a no, thank you from me.
44:19Allen, I'm just out on Gentry over all of these options, but this is Allen, Derrick Henry, Neighbors, Wilson, Ebukam, Love, Fannin.
44:30Honestly, uh you [ __ ] with me on that one, guy, but not terrible.
44:39Lamar, Achane, Kyren.
44:41This team's not bad.
44:44I'm not even the biggest Kyren fan, but this team is not bad.
44:49Um no, not in this format.
44:55Sutton, Tae, Jamo.
44:57Eh.
44:59Not terrible.
45:02Not bad.
45:05Cook, Jefferson, Herbert, Loveland.
45:08Not a fan.
45:10Not a fan. So, I would say I I like mine, I like four.
45:16I don't hate the Kyren team.
45:20And I don't hate the Amon-Ra McBride team. I think that's where I'm at.
45:30Um I think I'll end up with Jeremiah Love.
45:39I think there's a good chance. It is funny, when I left the softball game, uh Nick gave me some advice tomorrow. He
45:45said, "Stay away from the Jets and stay away from the rookies."
45:47Uh which you guys know I definitely will have definitely have a rookie or two, and I'll definitely have a Jet or two.
45:53But, I will say this team we didn't end up with any I guess we Well, we had Braelon Allen, and our only rookie is
45:58Malik Heath. So, our last two picks were Jets and rookies.
46:01Um So, what do you guys think? What do you guys think for tomorrow like which I guess we'll write this in the
46:08league chat, which is just like a hilarious way to do this.
46:11But, how how would you guys do it? I I would say in terms of So, my lottery ball gets picked. I think the way that I
46:18would have the draft spots I guess like S tier I would go uh S tier, give me 1 0 2 and then 1 0 1.
46:29Cuz for me I I have Josh Allen and Gibson in a tier of their own in this format. Give me one of the two and then
46:33I'll make it happen at the two-three turn. That's S tier. A tier A tier is probably still this top five.
46:39If I can get Puka, Chase, or uh Bijan and then also you don't get as punished, right? Like we we we took Puka here and
46:47then because some quarterbacks flew off the board, we we came back around.
46:52Fellas, I love y'all, but let me type Let me type in the chat. Um So, it it's nice cuz we talk about like
47:01how bad the three spot is or whatever.
47:03The four spot, you can you can draft Chase or Puka and almost always have a running back that gets back to you.
47:08Almost always. And if not, then something went something went weird.
47:14So, I don't hate that. I don't hate that. I would say my next favorite order is 1 0 3 1 0 4
47:211 0 5.
47:27Then Or I guess I I would I would alter this order. I would alter this order and I would actually go counting down. I
47:38would go five five four three.
47:42I think.
47:45Six seems terrible.
47:49I agree. I don't think I would want to be it's tough cuz the one-two turn looks nice.
47:55The one-two turn does look nice though.
47:56Like I almost I almost like I would say I don't want to be at the nine.
48:05I probably want to be cuz I do think there's a chance that if if quarterbacks do go round one then you can push like McCaffrey Lamb is
48:14a crazy nice start. But there's a chance that this whole team this whole league punts on quarterback and all of the sudden you're the guy who
48:22goes like Lamar and a and a receiver which like I guess that's not the end of the world.
48:30Let me I'm going to reset my rankings for a second here.
48:45Would you go CD JJ at the turn of this format? I would.
48:50You got to look at the three four turn more than the one two turn. You are right. But I even like the three four
48:54turn. I mean what came back to him here uh is I mean I like Jeremiah Love but I I guess I mean not even Jeremiah Love but you I
49:05mean Devonte Smith I would like Rashee Rice.
49:08I guess honestly I'm putting the I'm putting this I'm putting the turn lower to be honest. Like I probably want to be
49:13more I honestly would rather be in the middle of the board. I think honestly this is a square thing to say
49:22but I think damn near how I would prefer to draft is as close to the front as possible. Like I think it would be two
49:27one five four three and then like literally six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve I think.
49:36Six doesn't seem fun. Actually no no no no no. It probably be like it would probably be okay. So 105 104
49:43103 and then it would probably be like this eight.
49:49Because I I have to step up to the I don't want to step up to the plate here.
49:54Let me see my rankings real quick.
50:30Yeah, I agree. I agree. I don't want to be at six. I want to be Honestly, I want to be at like nine. I
50:37think that I would do so I would do 105, 104, 103 and then I probably want to be at 109.
50:43And then probably like 108.
50:46And then 111.
50:53And maybe not 111, more like 110.
51:00110.
51:01107.
51:04106, 112. Is I think that's roughly how I would have it.
51:10No, I I honestly agree and it's why I'm not that upset about like having such a shitty Like I'm I'm more
51:16upset at the softball thing that that one, I humiliated myself on camera and two, I feel like I let down the BDG
51:24guys.
51:25Um but like having least priority on the draft spot, like I really don't care.
51:29Especially in Superfly, it doesn't matter a ton.
51:31Um but that's where I'm at. This is what I'll have in my back pocket for when we draw the lottery balls tomorrow, roughly
51:38speaking. Like 101, 102, 101 and then something else in the top six or top five.
51:45And then something around here. But, appreciate you guys all coming out. Um of course, we have added superflex rankings to the draft guide. Make sure you check it
51:56out. are here. I'll actually show it off for you guys. Why not? You can see that in this section.
