0:00What's going on guys? It's Nick here back with another video. It's Monday.
0:02It's time to time Jeff Monday. Uh request to do a 10 team leagues. We're doing 10 team. We'll do early. We've
0:08done a ton of middle and late ones.
0:09We'll do pick like four or something like that. Um we'll do full PPR and let's add in uh another flex spot. I do
0:18think if you're in a 10 team league, you should probably have two flex spots. Uh just makes the league a little deeper,
0:22adds more players to the player pool. Um yeah, we'll do that. And then let's put um running back back on high because
0:30that is the expectation that a lot of drafts will have this season. So Bejon, Jir Gibbs, Christian McAffrey one, two,
0:38and three. Um, I want to talk about uh you'll see in the thumbnail of this video, maybe the title as well, some of
0:45these situations around Jacob's neighbors or she rice, but we'll wait until they go roughly in round three or so. Uh, and we'll see where they end up
0:53going in this draft and I'll basically talk about my thoughts on those situations. But we will start to draft off uh not talking about them just yet.
1:02So, if this happen, if you're drafting early, um, this is not an like a crazy build. Be John and Gibbs will go one two
1:10in every single format. Even like, you know, a deeper format where people sometimes lean wide receiver, even like a three wide receiver format. I really
1:17think Bon Gibbs will always go one, two.
1:19What happens at three will be interesting. I do think right now most of the time is Jamar Chase, but uh as
1:26you will see, running back ADPs are going to climb. Uh people are going to really be wanting that running back. I
1:31wouldn't be shocked if Christian McCaffrey was healthy going into week one. And by late August, people were looking to maybe take him this early,
1:39especially in full PPR as we are now.
1:40He's coming off a 100 reception season.
1:42Uh and basically, if he stays healthy, he's going to be a top three running back yet again. So, not a uh crazy
1:47start, but I think more often you'll see Chase. I think we'll end up going Chase.
1:51And maybe it'll be another draft where we kind of see what happens as far as the running backs are concerned. We know
1:56we told the computer draft running backs very heavy. The computer is going to do that. My guess is we'll be looking at
2:01this like Ken Walker, Bree Hall, uh Dererick Henry, Travis ETN range. Um and Jacobs we'll talk about um kind of at
2:10the tail end of round two into round three. Um so if you wanted to go JT, you could. It's just like again Christian
2:18McCaffrey sets up more for full PPR, not as much Jonathan Taylor. Uh, so I think you would just take chase and you would
2:25just hope that your room doesn't go too aggressively into the uh, running position. Also, we're in a two flex league, so we can start uh, for wide
2:35outs if we want to. So, all that we will draft Jamar Chase and we will see what happens. So, I'll pull up the draft
2:41board here. Um, not crazy running back heavy actually.
2:45So, JT goes, Genty goes, James Cook goes, but then a lot of wide receivers.
2:50Um, again, that's what the format uh kind of pushes you a little bit more towards than average. Uh, we see Puka,
2:56JSN, Aman, Rra, Jefferson, Lamb, uh, Drake London, Pickkins, and Nikico, and then Brock Bowers also off the board 13th overall. I definitely would have
3:05considered Brock Bowers at this pick. I love him this season. And in full PPR, he's a better pick because he can
3:11separate from that back end of tight end a little bit more. So, we are on the board. Obviously, we are not doing
3:17quarterback. never do quarterback in round two unless it is a superflex league and we are not on uh McBride this season. So, uh Loveland and maybe Warren
3:26will be the next options we look at at tight end, but that will not be happening in round two. So, it will be a
3:31wide receiver or running back. At wide receiver, um we'll talk about those situations in round three, I think.
3:39Would not go Rice, would not go um Dvont Smith, would not go AJ Brown. neighbors.
3:46You could consider Olive set up pretty well for the format. Um, this team is going to try to run top five plays this
3:52season. They're going to play at the fastest pace and if the offense improves, they can maybe play, you know, top five plays in the league. They're
3:58going to throw the ball a decent amount.
3:59He's um I don't want to say by a mile their best target because Jordan Tyson's a great prospect, but their most
4:04established target going to be getting a boatload of targets. I mean, like realistically, if he stays healthy, he's going to be a phenomenal pick this
4:13season. So absolutely in consideration for us here. Uh and then you have uh Achan who I mean it's highlighting right now Extreme Value. Like yeah, Achan's a
4:22very very good pick at this spot. I have my um pretty big concerns about this offense. Um I genuinely believe they
4:30might be a lot worse than people think.
4:32Um I think people are being a little bit too aggressive with Malik Malik Willis right now. But even with all that
4:39thinking, A Chan is the focal point of the offense. And even if they don't, you know, have this like dink and dump
4:45offense, he is still going to rack up a ton of receptions, I don't have a running back yet. It just makes way too
4:51much sense to grab the value uh and just take Devon Han right now. Like I just I don't see a world where this is my main
4:58league, even being a little bit off Han where I would not take him here. 17th overall on a full PPR format where I
5:04don't have a running back to start. So I would take Han and we'll see what happens after that. So I take him. Um,
5:11we see Trey McBride go, we see Marin Hampton, Saquon go, uh, AJ Brown, who is now on the Patriots, uh, Rasheed Rice
5:18and Dvont Smith. So, we can talk a little bit about, um, we'll start with Rasheed Rice. Among these three situations that we don't know right now,
5:26Rice is the one I'm least concerned with, which is a little bit crazy to say because he's literally in jail right
5:32now. He's rehabbing from a knee procedure in jail. The thing is, it was a minor cleanup procedure. It's nothing to worry about. Secondly, he's
5:41definitely getting preferential treatment. There's no way he's not getting that. Third, uh like it's not like he did something right now that's
5:48going to cause a big suspension in season. He violated a parole from something he's already been suspended for. So, I'm not like worried about that
5:57sort of situation where I am worried about suspension for Jacobs who we got to. And I am worried about the injury
6:03for Malik Neighbors. I'm not worried about this injury for Rasheed Rice. It again was a minor procedure. He's going to be totally fine come training camp.
6:11And I believe like given timelines, I mean, training camp's not for a month and a week or two, something like that.
6:18So, he's he's going to be back, right?
6:20He's going to be out of jail by that point. So, uh yeah, like I'm not I'm not worried about Rashid Rice. He should be
6:26going first among those three. I think that was a perfectly fine spot to get him. And he's better in full PPR than he
6:31is in half. Uh so again uh our option here is quarterback but among the options of going Josh Allen round three
6:39or waiting a little bit and grabbing those like mid quarterbacks. I'd rather wait and grab the mid quarterback. So end of round three maybe at that like 34
6:46turn better for Josh Allen. I don't think I would go with him here and the data in full PPR 10 team league says do
6:54not go quarterback with this third pick.
6:56Um running back great value on Chase Brown. problem is, you can see here, uh, we've got the risk. Uh, we we drafted
7:05Chase. And so, I personally, if this was my like big league, would not go Chase Brown and Jamar Chase. You run the risk
7:13of something happening like last season.
7:15You get an injury to Joe Burrow. All of a sudden, two of your top three picks have their quarterback injured. You see
7:22way too much of downgrade there, and the up and down production is too much. So, I wouldn't do it. um unfortunate because
7:29he's by far the best running back pick on the board in my opinion right now just in terms of like safety mixed with
7:35upside. He's going to be great this season. Going to get plenty of touches.
7:38So if you wanted to kind of risk it and do that, you can. I just wouldn't in my in my league. Um you could go Jeremiah
7:46Love. The risk there is basically that this could be the worst team in the league. Uh you know that that like if Br
7:52is the quarterback to start the season, you're not as concerned because maybe they drop back a lot. maybe um the offense a little bit better. He will not
7:58be the quarterback all season. Like they're going to go to Carson Beck.
8:01They're going to like go to a third quarterback if that doesn't work out and really tank for that number one pick.
8:06So, the offense is going to be bad at some point. It's also like they were good last season on offense and fantasy,
8:12but bad in reality. And they were good in fantasy because they were literally dropping back like 50 times a game.
8:17That's not going to happen this season, especially when they go to Beck. Those pass dumps are coming way down and the
8:21volume's coming way down. And when the volume takes a big hit, uh, Love's going to need a huge share of this offense.
8:27And we don't know really yet if that's like totally going to happen. I mean, he's gonna have a big share of the
8:32offense. We don't know if it's going to be like 80 90%. Uh, so I don't know uh about taking him at this spot. Um, Ken
8:40Walker much better in half PPR than full PPR. Um, he's just not going to be hyperly involved in the receiving game.
8:47Uh, that's somewhat of concern. Bree Hall, great talent. Um, I feel like he'd honestly be fine taking the spot. But all these guys, it's like it's tough. I
8:56I feel like in there's a reason why you can maybe say you don't love them. And I wish I could just take Chase Brown right now because
9:05he's definitely among them. Uh, the safest option. You just know the role is going to be really good. Uh, or we just
9:12go with Chris Olive. Uh, data says slightly better for wide receiver in this exact format. 8% boost versus 5% boost. Uh net neutral tight end. He had
9:22negative4 quarterback. I don't hate it.
9:26Um because starting off, you know, achan with Jamar Chase and Chris Olav, it's a really good start to the draft. I just
9:32know we're going to get some really strong picks here and like there's a lot of these guys that go in the top like
9:38even 70. That'd be fine with kind of like taking two of them in the flex spot, having a more mediocre wide
9:43receiver too because I have Jamar Chase.
9:45So I lean towards just taking the running back. Let me know what you guys would do. I I just still think you just
9:49don't take Chase Brown. I think it's just a little bit too risky here. And maybe I just will go with Jeremiah Love.
9:54He is my top projected uh in this scoring format. But I'd love to know what you guys think. I guess the upside
10:00for Love is obviously if he hits as a prospect and he is someone that's using 80 85% of the time and they run the
10:07offense through him, that's great. And they have like okay skill players to where like what if Carson Beck actually ended up being okay. I don't think
10:13that's going to happen. But I didn't think Shuck would be good last season.
10:16And then look what we're talking about Shuck now. So Carson Beck could still go in there, pull off a Shuck, and we're
10:22like, "Holy cow, this offense is way better than we thought." So it's still a possibility. Uh I just much prefer uh
10:28Chase Brown, but let's just go with um let's go with Love. Um and we'll uh we'll see what happens. And that's also a little bit why I just went
10:36with Love. Goodness. So we go with him, right? The next one, two, three, four, five, six, seven picks in a row, all
10:43running back. Chase Brown, Dererick Henry, Ken Walker, uh Bree Hall, Jacobs, Travis ETN, Kairen, then it goes Lovelin, who I would have wanted with this fourth pick.
10:53Uh then Scatteraboo, Josh Allen, who I also would have taken with this fourth pick, Olave, who I also would have taken, and then Garrett Wilson. So, a
10:59little bit unfortunate that like all this uh this fourth round was a lot of lot of the picks we wanted. Um but we
11:06got another player. So, Jacobs goes in round three. Neighbors is not gone yet.
11:11We'll talk about Jacobs. I'm more concerned. So, number one, he could be like um charged criminally and mist time because of that. Number two, that
11:23doesn't even need to happen. The NFL will do their own investigation into what happened with Jacobs. Um I don't want to say too much and be demonetized
11:29for this video. So, uh but Jacobs is in some legal trouble right now. And so if the NFL decides this is too much
11:39under personal conduct, uh we are going to suspend you. It's probably at least 6 weeks. If like he gets charged with
11:48something, I mean, I don't think it's going to be a year, but it could be like 8 to 12 weeks. And just because those
11:53possibilities exist in this range, are you really taking Jacobs over like Travisen? No. Over Chairen? No. Maybe Scataboo like if you're a little bit
12:05worried about the injury, but there's still good running backs. Javant Williams is still kind of locked in.
12:10Trayvon has that upside. Even Judkins has that upside. When we start getting into like Swift and Bucky and and Montgomery where we're dropping down a
12:18little bit into that next tier, that's when I I think I'd start to be like, okay, Jacobs is like risky, but if
12:24nothing comes of this, you got great value. um even if he's suspended to start the year, um it hurts you a little
12:29bit less taking him in like the fifth round than it does the third round where he goes a lot of the time right now. So,
12:36I don't think I would draft uh Josh Jacobs right now. I think I'd continue to let his ADP fall and kind of see
12:42where it bottoms out. Um because especially like just at multiple positions, there's just really good picks on the board that are going to
12:49help you out that even if Jacobs was fully good to go in week one, you could still argue we're just as good of picks
12:56as Jacobs. So for right now, if he drops to round five, I think that's where you're kind of pouncing on that because
13:02historically that's where you see the drop off anyways. First four rounds are very very um locked in for production.
13:08Like you're probably getting a very good player. Uh once you get round five, it's a little bit worse. Okay, our next pick,
13:14uh, as you can see up top here on dynamic rankings. Uh, quarterback, no.
13:18Tight end, no. Running back, slightly an O. It's neative 1%, but plus 11% for wide receiver. Uh, again, if you have
13:26access to the website, you have this for not only mock draft, but for when you're doing an actual draft. Um, this is
13:31considering 10 team, full PPR, two flex.
13:35Taking all of that into account, what have teams done historically that have made it to the playoffs? Well, at this spot, given our start, they have gone
13:42wide receiver. So, it's telling you, hey, lean towards wide receiver right now. Um, and it'll adjust value accordingly for that. Right now, I have
13:51neighbors as top projected, but in the next update, it that will not be happening. So, I have an update that I'm
13:57working on right now that'll be pushed I think sometime like this afternoon. You guys are seeing this. You'll probably see this around like 11 or noon.
14:02Sometime this afternoon, there'll be an update that drops the names a little bit more. Um, Lad will be the top wide
14:07receiver after that.
14:09I don't know what's going to happen with Malik Neighbor. So, we saw the video uh of like a charity softball game or
14:15something like that where like he I understand is not going to fill out obviously uh but clearly is limited by the knee still. Then you have um head
14:25coach talking about how like they don't really know when he's coming back. It's not a simple injury and we knew that,
14:30right? We knew that it was not a clean ACL tear. If you only tear the ACL, it's a clean tear.
14:36Especially younger, very athletic players like Mike Neighbors, come back great from that. Come back faster, come back stronger. Um, you're able to rely
14:44on the production quicker. The return to performance is much quicker when it is not a simple tear even and that just
14:51means like there's other ligaments involved. It just requires a little bit more and so that timeline gets pushed out. So, I wouldn't be surprised if
15:00neighbors misses the first month of the season. if Neighbors is out the first six weeks if it is a ramp up from there
15:06and to where he's not, you know, Malik Neighbors that we were expecting before until next year. Uh, but maybe like fantasy playoff time like maybe he's
15:14kind of peing a little bit more. And so on a site like Underdog or DraftKings where you're doing best that is more
15:21okay because you're like, okay, like if anything and I draft Malik Neighbors, it's almost like you want to advance a team where he plays poorly during the
15:30season. want to advance a team where he does nothing for the first 10 weeks of the year and he's a low advancement rate
15:34and you have him in the playoff in reddraft which most of you play. That is not what you want. You you do not want
15:40your player missing time. It's going to really hurt you this early. So another player I probably would not be taking here again. If Jacobs goes in round
15:46five, I can take him there. If Neighbors here drop to round five, I could start considering it like maybe with our next
15:52pick. If we go with Lad here and then we go with Neighbors in our next pick. Now Neighbors is our third wide receiver.
15:58it's a little bit better for us. Uh, but I just would not consider either of them until round five. So, I think we're
16:04going to go with um we could go with Javvante, but he definitely does not fit the format. Um, Judkins, same way. Just
16:10doesn't really fit the format as much.
16:11We already have the two running backs.
16:13Data is telling us wide receiver. Uh, just take Lad, who I think is set up for just a really, really good season this
16:20year. They're going to play more two wide receiver sets, but he'll be in two wide receiver sets, and that's a good
16:26thing. So, everyone, and I'll do a video about this, everyone is having all these comments about, you know, two wide receiver sets and how they can impact
16:33wide receivers. It is a positive for the wide receivers who are on the field in those two wide receiver sets. So, if you
16:39know who's going to be out there there, they're competing instead of competing with a slot wide receiver, they're competing with a backup tight end. And
16:47on teams like the Eagles, right, where they're going to have two good receiving options, that's not as good because Sour is basically a slot wide receiver. But
16:55on teams that that backup tight end is just a pure blocking tight end. You're going from competing with a slot wide
17:00receiver to competing with a blocking tight end who's not going to get the ball. All of a sudden, your targets per
17:04rout goes way up and it's a positive.
17:07And I think that happens for LA a little bit. I think they're going to run more uh two tight end sets with like Gadston
17:12and Injoku. And I also just think the offense is going to be exceptional. I just really think the Chargers are a
17:17team you want to invest in. So as your second wide receiver in full PPR, that is a slam dunk pick. Okay, pull up the
17:22draft board here. Um, Ibuka Neighbors and Tet go. Tyler Warren's off the board now. Uh, Joe Burrow goes, and then Javvant Williams. So, we're in round
17:31five. This is also where I start to consider the quarterback position. Uh, data still tells us that you probably want to wait until the sixth round. It's
17:38negative 8% right now. Um, plus 1% for running back, plus 8% for wide receiver.
17:42So, still the lean on wide receiver, but still a positive playoff rate over expectation if you do go with a running
17:48back here. If you look at quarterback, Lamar's a great pick. Um, honestly, Drake May is a great pick at this spot.
17:54Uh, I would say like Caleb, Jaden Daniels, Jaylen Herz, all more round six picks, but if we consider it, you know,
18:02there's five, right? And we look at the board, there's only 10 teams and two have already taken quarterback. So, if we think there are only five teams that
18:10when we pick now until round six that are going to go. So, if we just don't take quarterback, all of them in their
18:15next two rounds have to take a quarterback for us to truly get burned and not make that first tier, which I
18:19really want to do in a 10 team league. I want to have one of the top seven. Um, it could happen, but the odds are a
18:27little bit in our favor that it's not going to happen. So, I think we avoid quarterback. Uh, we definitely avoid tight end at this point. Wide receiver,
18:35that's that's honestly just tough. Like it maybe uh like if we had gone Puka, we could have gone with um Chase Brown at
18:42one point, we could have gone with T.
18:43Higgins. Now, unfortunately, again, I'm not going to take Jamar Chase and T.
18:46Higgins. I think it's just too much risk at that spot. Um, so I would say like Z.
18:53Z or Burden, but Burden would be someone that I'd like a little bit more to half PPR format. So I think Zay would be our
18:59pick at wide receiver, but I would go running back. We're about to hit a range where running back's going to really
19:04really start dropping off. So I would rather just take the upside of Treyot Henderson. Um, he's going to be involved in the receiving game hopefully. I mean,
19:11it was really the the pass blocking that did him in last season, which is another thing we want to consider with prospects
19:17is that they're prospects. And, you know, he was considered the best pass blocking prospect going into last year.
19:22And he was benched because he couldn't pass protect. So, we can evaluate all we want for some of these guys. You don't
19:29know what's going to happen when they when they go into the NFL. Um, my guess is that's a big thing he worked on in
19:35the offseason. Um, we know the receiving talent there is there. We know they want to utilize him an explosive role on this
19:41offense. We know the offense is going to be much better this season. Um slightly improved offensive line. You've got another year for Drake May in the
19:48system. Uh but you've got AJ Brown on the team. You've got Romeo Dobs on the team. Like this is going to be a better
19:53offense. You want to be investing in them again this season. Um so yeah, Trayvon just a really good pick at this
19:59spot. I do see a lot of quarterbacks going off the board. Oh, only two. Okay, but it was a two we wanted of course. Uh
20:05so Lamar goes, Drake Magos. That makes sense. uh TZ and Luther go off the board and then the running backs that we
20:11thought were going to go, you know, Swift, Judkins, Bucky, Monty, Tuin, Chuba, Price. So, we're in we're in a range now at running back where it's
20:19just simply not as good. Clearly less upside. Great getting the three that we got. Also, data telling us the only position right now that gives you a
20:27positive playoff rate over expectation is wide receiver. So, it's, you know, I think still given this season, Caleb, Daniels, and Burrow are options. Uh, but
20:38if we pull up the board, this team already has I said Burrow there, Burrow's taken. Um, Caleb, Daniels, and and Jaylen Herz. Um,
20:47there's three quarterbacks that we would want at this pick. One of these teams already has it. There's no way this team
20:52is going to draft another quarterback.
20:53So, we're good to wait until round seven. I bet you only one quarterback is left. I don't care which one it is.
20:58We'll take that quarterback. We're not going to go quarterback. We'll take that in round seven. Uh we're not going to go
21:02running back here. We're not going to go tight end. We'll just take the top wide receiver. Um valuewise, if we're looking
21:07at like ADP, um it's barely technically Adams, but I think uh Terry McLuren is set up for an awesome season here. So, I
21:15would draft Terry McLuren. But if you want to go Adams for the touchdowns, I think that's totally fine, too, as well.
21:19So, I'll take Terry McLuren. Two quarterbacks do go off the board, but Caleb Williams is still there. And, you know, mixed opinions on Caleb Williams
21:28from a lot of people, but I do think that he's set up for a really good season. Uh, unfortunate that the um
21:37I believe the playoff strength of schedule is really tough because of just outdoor games. Um, but he's still a player that, you know, when they I do
21:46the strength of schedule video, right?
21:48And I think people's reaction to it sometimes is like, I want a tough strength of schedule. And to a way you
21:54can somewhat agree with that and say, "Yeah, when the Bears are playing a really good team, it can be a positive
21:59for them because that team pushes them."
22:01One negative on strength of schedule is I do dock these like outdoor games later in the analysis for it. Um, and I do
22:08dock um like defense. It's like defensive um efficiency is still baked into the model. So, it's not just saying who are who's playing tough teams. it is
22:18saying who's playing tough teams that have good defenses and their outdoor games and especially for a team like Chicago. Those outdoor games are not
22:26good late in the season from a passing perspective. So, it's something that's got to be in the back of your mind when
22:30you do think about Chicago players and especially their quarterback is like we could get some blizzard conditions in the fantasy playoffs and that's not a
22:36good thing. But, uh in a 10 team league especially, I do kind of want to grab a quarterback before this drop off. data
22:43still says uh wide receiver is the best pick here, but I think I would take Caleb. Um I'd be totally fine waiting
22:49though because it's like Dart's a great pick, Herbert's a great pick, Lawrence a great pick, uh Dak Prescott, Brock Perie. Um like there's good I think
22:58after that, maybe not as much anymore.
23:00In a 10 team league, you can afford to wait along. I bet you those guys kind of last a decent amount of time. So, I
23:05would be fine waiting here and maybe that is the play and just take someone like Adams cuz we're in a great range
23:12for wide receiver as well. I would have taken Mike Evans if he was available at this pick, but like Adam's a good pick.
23:18Wadd um Dunay's solid. Jordan Tyson and I kind of want to just take Adams.
23:28Yeah, I think I might want to just take Adams and wait. Let's do that.
23:33Let's follow the data. Data is telling us do the wide receiver with that pick.
23:36Oh, Caleb is still there. Okay, so that was easy. Take uh take Adams, take Caleb, and then I'll pull the draft
23:43board now. Um yeah, that was the optimal play there. So, grab that fourth wide receiver. We can start four wide receivers. If Trayvon happens to not be
23:51doing anything to start the year, we can give him a little bit more time on our bench. Um but we're locked in at this
23:56point. So, we've got Achan, Jeremiah Love, and Trayvon. We've got very young, very athletic running back room. And we got Jamar Chase, Lad McConi, uh Terry
24:06McLuren and Adams at wide receiver.
24:08Feeling good about that. Um and we've got Caleb. Uh but again, I think that was the play, too, because like I love
24:15Herbert this season. Um I like Trevor Lawrence a decent amount. I really like Jackson Dart in a 10 team league.
24:22Yeah, maybe maybe I just view Caleb kind of at the end of that tier because when I think about um these top quarterbacks
24:27that I want, I want Lamar because he could be the MVP this season. He could, you know, dominate in fantasy. I think
24:33Drake May could do a similar thing. Josh Allen, um Jaden Daniels, I feel like those four I feel like have a ceiling to
24:41where like they could be the top quarterback by like one or two points per game if everything goes their way. I
24:45don't know that that's necessarily the case for like Joe Burrow, Jaylen Herz, and Caleb. So, I feel like they're kind of at the end of that grouping. And
24:51maybe in a 10 team league when I know people aren't going to be s like hyperly aggressive at quarterback, maybe I view
24:58Caleb closer to this like Dart, Trevor Lawrence, and um Dak and Herbert sort of range. So, maybe something I have to
25:05consider in the analysis there, but I still think uh Caleb obviously a good pick at this spot. Uh so, next up, I
25:10yeah, I think you would go with um running back and wide receiver are both positive right now. Uh, I think you'd go
25:16with probably another running back here and try and just build evenly the rest of the way. Warren's a good pick. Uh,
25:22Manunga doesn't fit the format as much, but projections are still fine with him.
25:25Uh, Rico kind of same way. I don't think either one of these guys rack up a ton of receptions. Uh, but I think Warren
25:30can rack up a lot of receptions. Um, Gainwell, I think, is a good pick if we can get him in the next round as well.
25:36Um, some decent wide receiver options.
25:39Um, ADP-wise, Metaf's of value, but I don't trust it fully this season. Um, I don't think you need to go with these
25:47guys, but like Mai Lemon, Parker Washington, and Metaf are all pretty solid picks. Even Jordan Addison here, um, I still think it's build evenly,
25:54take Warren, a guy that can rack up. I mean, he could he could have 60 receptions this season and you're getting him in the ninth round as your
26:02fourth running back. A great guy you could just throw in there, get some production for if you truly needed it.
26:08All right, so we go with him. Um, does anything weird happen? Uh, not really.
26:12Bon Knicks goes, Sam Laora goes, uh, a lot of the wide receivers I just mentioned go, and then some running backs and unfortunately, um, Gainwell
26:20gone as well. So, I think for the rest of the way, you basically just take your top projected running back, wide
26:26receiver. Eventually, we have seven picks left. You're just going to have to grab tight end. Maybe you go double dipping. Um, again, if I don't get one
26:35of Bowers, Loveland, or maybe Tyler Warren if he falls a little bit. If I don't get one of them, I'm just either
26:42taking one or double dipping late. Um, I don't want to be investing heavily in the position, especially in a 10 team
26:47league. Just wait, wait, wait, wait, wait at tight end. There's going to be an option for you available. If you wait
26:52super long, just take two of them. Uh, so we're going to have four bench spots, tight end, defense, kicker. We could
27:00legitimately end this draft with tight end, tight end, defense, kicker, and that would be totally fine. So, we could go four consecutive running backs and
27:07wide receivers still. At this point, we will track if Ferguson, Dalton Concade, if they kind of fall a little bit, but
27:15if they don't, it is totally fine for us to keep drafting um these running backs and receivers. So, I think you just you
27:22take Addison. Uh next pick. Um I would consider I would consider doing
27:30Brooks here. Um, I don't know that he has a high-end receiving profile, but he's got the talent, right? He's a great pro was a
27:42great prospect. Very unfortunate knee injuries he's had. They're going to bring him along slowly. I don't think he starts a season that great. Uh, but as
27:48your fifth running back, do you want to just take a shot on that upside? Cuz after that, truly, there's a pretty big
27:53drop off. I'll be interested in Katon Mitchell in a little bit, but JCM's not going to catch passes. Chris Rodriguez has a foot injury and also wasn't going
27:59to catch passes. uh Taran Tracy Jr. once scatter good to go is not going to be a factor. Uh then you're in your like
28:05Spears, Woody Mars, Katon Mitchell, Pacheco range like Brooks at least was a very high-end prospect at one point. Uh brutal schedule that's very unfortunate
28:16for a running back especially in one like uh that's not going to catch a lot of passes. Um but I don't necessarily
28:23think we need to go with a wide receiver at this spot. So I think you just take Brooks. Um, if Ferguson can cater kind
28:30of there at the next pick, we can go with them. Um, let's see. Ferguson is there, so we can go Ferguson at the next pick. Uh, I
28:39would probably go back to wide receiver after this and just take your favorite option. I like Coker. Um, I don't know. You could take a shot on
28:48Digs and just be like, "Hey, does he land in KC?" Um, I don't know what's another good landing spot for Diggs. Um,
28:58I don't know. Does Seattle want digs?
29:01Um, does he land in Vegas? Um, Commanders, like there's there's options here to where he could land an okay spot. And it's like I like Coker. I like
29:12taking a shot on Omar Cooper, maybe Jawan if there's an injury somewhere, but none of these guys have like crazy high-end upside. I don't think Diggs
29:20does either, but he's not like a bad pick to be making this range. So, I would just, you know, take a shot on
29:24Stefan Diggs. Uh, we'll draft Katon Mitchell at this pick. Uh, we'll take our top defense. Um, I don't know.
29:33Again, I have this. I need to look into who has the best early. Okay, so Eagles have a great defense and they have the
29:38fifth best early season strength of schedule. So, we can take the Eagles and then I'll bring up the draft board here
29:43before uh we take our kicker. And that's basically it. I think this is going to get a solid score. I think this is a
29:51really solid draft. We didn't end up taking a second tight end, but I think that was fine because I like Katon
29:56Mitchell. I think he could get like, you know, 10 to 12 opportunities a game if things really go his way and he'd be a
30:02highly efficient player. So, I like taking him at the end of the draft. I like taking that shot on Stefon Diggs
30:07easily in a reddraft league, 13th round pick. You could dump that in week one.
30:12If Diggs isn't on a team, if Diggs isn't doing anything, has no role bad team, you could easily drop in before the
30:16season and grab a handcuff, grab a, you know, wide receiver that's breaking out, do anything you want, so it doesn't hurt
30:22you as like it does in like a basketball format. Um, and I think those are just more beneficial than grabbing just like
30:27a backup tight end. So, the team wide receivers Jamar Chase, Lad, Terry McLuren, uh, Adams, Addison, and Stefan Diggs, running backs, Achan, Jeremiah
30:38Love, Tayvon, uh, Jaylen Warren, Jonathan Brooks, and Katon Mitchell. And then we've got Kale Williams and Ferguson at quarterback and tight end,
30:46Eagles defense, and then we will take, uh, whoever the top uh, kicker is. Yeah, it's a good team. um
30:57good when you can basically get really strong running backs and receivers and especially in a format like this where there's two flex options. You've got to
31:03be starting that extra spot. You want to be good at both. Have some flexibility there. Um and I'm cool being lower. Like
31:09we have the last place tight end team.
31:11I'm cool being lower because we know that there's really a top end this season and historically mid- tight end just doesn't work out that great. And so
31:21I'm cool kind of being uh lower a little bit there. They said we should have gone Chris Rodriguez, but I think I also need
31:27to drop Chris Rodriguez a little bit in the projections right now given the foot injury. Um they would have liked that a
31:31little bit more. It's just funny a little bit more. They So the computer is like, "Hey, you can still wait like you
31:36can still just not draft that tight end and wait until the very last opportunity to draft a tight end." Um yeah, but uh I
31:45think Ferguson still was kind of better than a lot of those picks there. So, that's the team. Um, again, I'll just
31:52pull it up here so you guys can see that. Um, oh, I wanted to show you actually just really quick. Um, is this
31:59live? Okay, so this is just like a simulator I have running right now. Uh, but soon we're going to have an auction
32:06um mockdraft feature. So, if you are in the uh Discord soon, I'm going to have people testing this. I want thoughts on
32:16people who actually play in auction leagues. Like, what do you think about the tool? You're gonna have plans that you can create. So, let's just uh let's
32:25just draft Jar Chase in this one. Let's win this bid. Good grief. He's going for a million dollars. Okay, we won the bid.
32:33It'll show up in all the plans that you have. And so, you can like adjust your plans. You can have a bunch of different
32:37ones. You can just see like, okay, like what plan fits my current build right now. Uh you can see like the max bid.
32:43You can see the average, everything.
32:44have all the players over here. Uh you can view, well, I'm not signed in here, but you can view their their player card
32:49and all those sorts of things. See the information everywhere. Uh and then there'll be a drafting tool where you can like have this up while you're doing
32:56your actual draft. But um a lot of people just ask about um mock drafts for um auction leagues and they're like, you
33:03know, it's really difficult to actually do one because it takes so long to do them. I'm trying to make it as fast as
33:09possible and give you ways to kind of push forward in the draft. you can advance to the next round whenever you
33:14want. So when you have like $1 bids left, you can kind of do that quickly.
33:18Um you can skip right past players if you don't want to see any sort of simulation. Um so I'm trying to make it
33:22fast. Um but I want people who actually play an auction leagues to let me know like what other features they want to
33:27see and things like that. So I'll be done it soon as like a first run. It'll be up on the website. Um so be in the
33:33Discord. I'll ping you guys there. Uh and maybe I'll post it on Twitter as well. Um or X. Uh, and uh, I want people
33:41who play an auction lease to kind of test it out. So, let me know what you think on that. Let me know what you
33:45think on the um, team as well. Uh, but that will do it for this one and thank you all for watching. If you are new
33:51here, please hit subscribe. Uh, please hit the like button as well and I'll catch you all on the next one.
