1:02What is good. We're back. We've got fantasy power thruple for your pleasure.
1:06We are going to jump into a 27 mock draft, super flex, tight end premium.
1:11You know, we're a lot of rookie drafts are wrapping up.
1:15We've got the summer boys who are going to get them in a little later here, but we wanted to jump in for way too soon.
1:2327 rookie mock and, you know, always super flex, tight end premium.
1:27So the boys here are going to go back and forth and I'm going to host it.
1:33So we got Jeremiah up first. Jeremiah, who are you taking?
1:37Clock's running. 101. What do you got? Jeremiah. Going to be enough pie.
1:41Look, it's a beautiful thing. This is almost like a repeat of we going back to January.
1:47It's going to be Jeremiah Smith. Jeremiah Love, Jeremiah Smith.
1:50Guy's name is Jeremiah. I'm going to draft him because that's my name.
1:54Problem is everyone and their mother is going to because it's not like it's deep and buried.
2:00These are premium asset players. And you got Jeremiah Smith back to back seasons, 1300 receiving yards, 1200 76 receptions, 87 receptions.
2:07He's got soft hands, contested catches away from his frame and body.
2:11He's got strong ability to back shoulder catch. Excellent timing.
2:15The ball never surprises him. He finishes driving up the field, physical, big stiff arms out there, drives forward after coming to the football.
2:23What's not to like recruiting profile, five star, all the big names, all the teams that you want were after him.
2:30And he is the guy. And we're talking about I'm going to Ross St.
2:34Brown, CD lamb. If they have a down year, all of a sudden we're talking about how quickly and high up Jeremiah Smith can go.
2:43So, yeah, he's my one on one on one.
2:46Is there anything that can happen that would have Jeremiah Smith be usurped?
2:50Like we're going to go through this thing. I'm sure, you know, at least a third of this will be quarterbacks.
2:57There's a couple of high end running backs for sure already.
3:01And when we know, you know, just by doing this for so long that some of these guys that we're talking about
3:08right now that we think are locked in are not even going to be first round.
3:1327 picks. It's just this is kind of the way it goes, or at least they'll fade to the back or jump
3:21to the front one or the other. And some guys we don't even mention might even be in the top four.
3:28But what would how could it take place where Jeremiah Smith for so long has been this coveted item?
3:34Is there anything that could happen outside of a major injury?
3:38Yep. You hit the nail on the head. It could be injury.
3:42But then you look at the Heisman odds. The next player, spoiler alert, if it is somebody like Arch Manning, look at the Heisman odds.
3:50Arch Manning plus 750 right now to Jeremiah Smith plus 1300.
3:54I know that does favor quarterbacks. Sure. You can have an incredible run, maybe a national championship like it happened with Fernando Mendoza.
4:01So you will get some people who might sweeten a little bit better versus what encroached.
4:07There was no encroachment on Jeremiah Love. I still don't see it happening for Jeremiah Smith.
4:12But of course, crazier things have happened. But it is bonafide, shy of an injury and significant regression.
4:18Yeah, it is Jeremiah Smith for me. All right.
4:21Let's go to the 102 then, Jeff. What are we doing at the 102?
4:26Are we getting on with these quarterbacks or are we getting on with a running back or another wide receiver?
4:32And it's a quick, it's Arch. It's Arch. We don't deny.
4:36We don't run. You can't you can't run. You can't hide from what's in the DNA.
4:41And what we know is this is the latest and greatest in the Manning tradition.
4:46But he comes his father played receiver before his career was cut short.
4:51And so he comes with a little bit more mobility in the Manning package then.
4:56Oh, Manning package is crazy. But he comes with a little bit more mobility than previous additions and iterations of the Manning family.
5:03So, I mean, last year, you know, 14th, I believe, in big time throws of 19.
5:09This is his first full year as a starter.
5:12You you know that he has the rushing utility, as I've alluded to previously, through for thirty one hundred yards, twenty six touchdowns.
5:19I think that he's going to honestly right now, if he would have come out this past year, I would say his
5:27game is very similar to what Jackson Darts was coming out of Ole Miss.
5:31So but I think that the passing the passing ceiling is going to be much higher because, again, he can rip it and he's a Manning.
5:40And we don't have to overthink these things sometimes.
5:43I know that it's going to there's going to be somebody in here that says, oh, he's overrated and he's not going to translate to the league.
5:52It's like, well, point me to a Manning that's failed miserably in the NFL so far.
5:57You can't. So I'm not going to run from the DNA.
6:01I've been waiting on this. I think that he's you know, they wanted him to get to twenty five starts.
6:08He'll surpass that mark early in October of next year.
6:11And so there's going to be nothing left for him to do at the collegiate level, besides if he just wants to
6:18chase a national championship because he's already a millionaire.
6:21So I think that this is going to be a really, really, really no brainer pick.
6:27And he's the one on one in just about every other class except this one because of Jeremiah Smith.
6:33So I go with our opinion. And whether it's fair or not, people you think is overrated.
6:39Some people will think he's overrated because of the name and they don't want to ever give him his due because people are haters.
6:47And some people are just like, hey, I want to see just a little bit more.
6:52And I guess that's that's sort of fair. But he's in a good situation.
6:57He's in a good system. Sark's been around. You know, they've got a good team.
7:02So, you know, Manning with the with the name and all that factoring in is definitely easy, easy path to Heisman if
7:09things go well for Texas and Arch Manning, which would, you know, then maybe even raise some question.
7:15What if Texas wins a national championship? Could he usurp Jeremiah Smith because of the name and the genes?
7:21Yada, yada, yada. Anyway, let's go to the one on three.
7:25What do you got, Jeremiah? And funny enough, for Arch Manning, just under 400 yards and 10 rushing touchdowns last year.
7:32This next guy, though, at the one on three, Dante Moore, not so much a rusher, but a mover.
7:38OK, he can not to be confused with show or not a grower.
7:43You know, he can move in the pocket very well.
7:46Rhythm throwing, timing, tight spiral throws and tight windows that need both finesse and zip.
7:51That's what I noticed. He's able to get the ball with zip when there needs to be touch.
7:57And that's so difficult to do. He can deliver throws with his feet set.
8:02He leverages his hips like a rubber band, and he can just snap the ball with his feet planted.
8:08In one All-22 film, he rolled out to his right.
8:11He delivered an intermediate pass with some of that zip across his body.
8:16And the field was cut off. It didn't limit his decision.
8:19And he got the ball off before getting hit, threw it across his body.
8:24Actually, the angle on the All-22 showed it. So a lot of fluidity there for him.
8:293,500 passing yards last year, 30 touchdowns. His path is going to be that ultra-efficient passer.
8:35He's got to show it with his arm and that mobility in the pocket.
8:39There's some other quarterbacks who, you know, Shev had mentioned.
8:43Arch Manning, there's another quarterback who's got some different movement.
8:46Other quarterbacks out there. But Dante Moore's ticket is going to be purely in passing.
8:51Some weaknesses. Is there some pressure in the pocket and some decision-making that can get to him?
8:57Deep ball can kind of hang up there a little bit.
9:00He can die and lose some zip. But these are just little things at a profile where last year he may have come out and been the 102.
9:10Or maybe some people's 101 in the overall NFL draft.
9:13And then he sure would have made the top half of our 2026 rookie drafts much better.
9:19But instead, I still think we park him here.
9:22But again, if he shits the bed, there's a whole lot of company that can take over for Dante Moore.
9:28But right now, he's a 103. Yeah, Moore seems like he'll be pretty safe.
9:33Kind of like a Manning. The Manning, obviously the name.
9:36But where he is in program, right? It's not like you don't know what Indiana is going to do next year necessarily.
9:44We think it's going to be good. But Oregon is going to come out here and be a competitor.
9:50So this should be a pretty safe, you know, at least stock staying the same for Dante Moore, I think.
9:57And I think a lot of people were, hey, doesn't want to be a Jet.
10:02But he probably, this is a good thing for him to go back.
10:06We've seen a lot of these quarterbacks go spend more time in college.
10:10And it's just been very beneficial to their NFL career kind of moving forward.
10:15So I like the Dante Moore there. I think that's pretty safe.
10:19Like two quarterbacks already in the top three, which is, you know, we have one basically in the first round this year.
10:26Maybe Ty Simpson on the back end. So we can already see the differences of why this coveted class and how good,
10:34you know, Jeremiah Smith was at the 101 overall.
10:37Why? We're already so excited about all these 27 picks.
10:40All right, Chev. At the 104, what are we doing?
10:43Hey, guys, real quick. If you'd like to follow along visually with this mock draft, head over to theffdynasty.com and check out
10:51the new 2027 rookies page under the rankings menu.
10:54While you're at it, get your swipe on. Theffdynasty.com for your pleasure.
10:58Are all batteries the same? That's like asking if all soccer players are the same.
11:03Take Messi, the most decorated player ever. Is there any other player who has achieved that?
11:08No, just him. Now take Duracell. Is there any other battery with power boost ingredients inside?
11:13No, just Duracell. Remember, goats only trust goats because they're built different.
11:17And Messi only trusts Duracell. Marvel Television's Wonder Man.
11:20An eight-episode series. Now streaming on Disney+. A superhero remake.
11:24Not exactly what we'd expect from an Oscar-winning director.
11:27Action! Simon Williams auditioned for Wonder Man. I'm going to need you to sign this.
11:32Assuming you don't have superpowers. I'll never work again if anyone found out.
11:36My lips are sealed. Marvel Television's Wonder Man. All eight episodes now streaming.
11:40Only on Disney+. We're going with Kawan Lacy out of Ole Miss.
11:445'11", 210, over 1,000 yards after contact. 24 rushing touchdowns last year.
11:4829 receptions. So we've already seen him catch the ball.
11:52Did have five drops. So I'm not really... I got to figure out what's going on with that.
11:58But kind of a... Basically a 10-pound lighter version of Quenchon Judkins with the pass-catching utility.
12:03But more home run speed. His fifth in breakaway yards last year.
12:07So I think that this is a guy who's solidified.
12:11He'll be one of those middling, I think, mid to late first-round picks.
12:15I think if he puts up another monster season like that.
12:19Or he could kind of go into that Brees Hall, Jonathan Taylor, Kenneth Walker style.
12:24Early second-round pick that's really a first-round pick. But you don't have to have the...
12:29You don't get the guaranteed contract. Or, you know, the fifth-year option.
12:33So it kind of benefits both. So I really like Kawan Lacey.
12:37I like what he was able to do in the playoff last year.
12:41I liked... I mean, just on his tape, you see a guy who looks like...
12:46I mean, we talked about Devin Neal being a professional.
12:49This is what it looks like to be a stud and a star that's playing on Saturdays.
12:55That's going to play on Sundays and do really cool things on Sundays.
12:59So really excited about Kawan Lacey. I mean, I would have gone Ahmaud Hardy, but he got shot.
13:05Hopefully he comes back. But he's going to go a little bit later.
13:10Jeremiah took him a little bit later. But I really, really, really like Kawan Lacey.
13:15And I think that he's going to have another monster year this year.
13:19Are you looking like maybe only around 200 at 5'11"?
13:22Does that concern you at all anymore? Are we done...
13:26I think this podcast has been done with it for a while.
13:30But generally, we're not concerned with... So I got...
13:33PFF has him at 210. Okay. I was just looking at ESPN.
13:37They have him at 200. So I'm seeing 205 on Ole Miss.
13:41I'm seeing 200 here. Either way, I'm good to go.
13:44And Hardy's only not here because of a slight off-the-field potential issue.
13:48Not issue, but serious situation. Kawan Lacey also has some reception upside.
13:52Had 29 receptions last year. There is some... That's like, hey, meat on the bone missing for Ahmad Hardy.
13:58And then for physicality, it's funny. It's not size on Lacey.
14:02It's just he runs upright. Shout out to our good friend, Shev.
14:06Good Dustin, as we like to refer to him.
14:09Has talked about runs way too high sometimes. It's aggravating.
14:12It's just like a trait. I don't know why he doesn't get low.
14:17So he leaves some on the table there. Yeah.
14:20I like Lacey a lot, though. And so we got our first running back off the board.
14:25All right. Take us to the 105, Jeremiah. And it's crazy because this is flip-flop.
14:30If Shev hadn't gone, who I have, I love the Lacey pick, Shev.
14:35Cam Coleman, here's somebody. And you were asking earlier.
14:38Hey, yo, salutations. You were asking earlier, Casey, about, is there anybody who could encroach on Jeremiah Smith for the 101?
14:45I don't think it would be for the 101.
14:48But anybody who could kind of get into that tier with Jeremiah Smith is Cam Coleman.
14:53He was a five-star prospect and a five-star transfer.
14:56There's no drop-off there. Had 708 receiving yards last year with Auburn.
15:00That's a big deal. That's a big accomplishment. All the big schools, recruiting-wise, were after him, all the big names.
15:07But his strength, he makes catches in tight spaces on the boundary, field disappearing, and Coleman boxes out the defender.
15:13Back shoulder throws are too easy for size. He's 6'3 and 201 pounds.
15:18He has tremendous ball tracking. Times how he opens and shows his body to the ball.
15:23He gives the defenders the least amount of time to react, which is something Jeremiah Smith also does.
15:29And then for toothpaste, two moments. Okay? One-handed catch, touchdown versus Arkansas, Arkansas, as some people like to say.
15:35Unreal control with the defender draped on him. Body control and focus all there.
15:40Another toothpaste tube moment. Fourth quarter touchdown catch, one-handed versus Vanderbilt on the road.
15:45Again, ball tracking. Look that up and see it visual.
15:48So to me, I don't think it's at all disrespectful to be echoed near Jeremiah Smith.
15:53He just hasn't had the cumulative stats to back it up.
15:57And what I would say is what will help that is there's some cohesion here with Arch Manning and Cam Coleman.
16:04And on our list, if you look at the schools, these are mostly playoff teams or contenders.
16:10Right. And then you're getting the glow of these two are going to help the elevator ride up.
16:16And when we're watching the NFL draft round one, they're all suited up.
16:20Arch Manning, Cam Coleman are going to be company together because if they both declare for the draft next year, it's real
16:27life and it's first round of our rookie drafts.
16:30Right. And so this is a great move for Cam Coleman here to transfer to Texas.
16:36There's more national spotlight. You have somebody like Arch, who we just mentioned, like, I shouldn't say more national.
16:42If Auburn's good, there's plenty of national spotlight, but it's it's Texas.
16:46And Arch Manning is tied to that situation who could be competing for a Heisman.
16:51If things go right, they could be competing for a national championship.
16:55Like Jeremiah Smith is that wide receiver university currently and has been one of the most coveted ones, but has a good
17:02quarterback saying attached to him, which helps, you know, perpetuate that Coleman coming over to Texas with Arch and helping maybe them
17:10get over the hump and Arch continue to develop, give him a true number one here.
17:15I think that's a good move. And like you said, maybe this is something that could push.
17:21Hey, maybe Jeremiah Smith has a little bit of an injury.
17:24Coleman has a ridiculous year. And now all of a sudden we know that nobody can be touched until that conversation starts in November.
17:32And you're like, I don't know, Cam Coleman. So I like it.
17:36I like it. All right, chef, take us to the 106.
17:40All right. This is one I'm calling my shot here.
17:43We've been pretty chalk throughout the whole deal here, but I'm going Drew Mestemaker, Oklahoma State Cowboys.
17:49It's a mess. Yeah. All right. A messed of us for the rest of us.
17:54All right. So really with with Mestemaker, I'm calling my shot here.
17:58I just see the makings of a really, really good NFL quarterback.
18:02If I said what I if I said what I felt when I saw him play, it's going to make a lot
18:09of people upset and probably clip us and go and bookmark all this.
18:14He reminds me of Joe Burrow. Nice, easy release.
18:17But with a bigger arm, he's got the mobility.
18:20And this was his first full time as a full time role as a starter.
18:25And he went out and threw for forty three hundred yards.
18:28He was you know, he only had 14 turnover worthy plays in, you know, as in his first year as a starter.
18:36He dropped back over five hundred times. He was 10th in big time throws.
18:40All of this. Yes, we do need to see him compete against more.
18:45He's taking a step up in competition. I don't think that that's going to be an issue.
18:50I think, you know, the and the interesting nugget here is that Chad Morris, the guy, the Oklahoma State coach is the
18:58guy who found Cam Ward, the guy who recruited Baker Mayfield, the guy who the guy who found Cam Ward.
19:04Like just. This is kind of this is one of the things that people kind of push off and brush to the
19:12side because, hey, you know, no big time, you know, no big time analyst is saying this on the Debbie side or wherever else.
19:20But people are starting to get excited. You saw last year.
19:23He was unbelievable in North Texas. I expect a lot of the same to continue this year.
19:29So I'm going to be early to the party.
19:32I've done a couple of Debbie rookie, you know, supplemental drafts, and I take him with my first round pick every single time.
19:40So I'm really excited about Drew Mestermaker because I don't think that he can get ahead of Arch unless Arch goes out
19:47and lays a clunker and then Mestermaker goes out and basically wins the Heisman.
19:52But this is a first round quarterback. I know.
19:55I feel like I know what I'm watching. I'm really excited for what he's going to do this year.
20:01I like it. Calling a shot. I will. Eric Morris.
20:04Chad Morris was the Clemson. That's right. Yeah. Chad Morris.
20:08Chad. Chad left. And I think he's back at Clemson now.
20:11And he follows him, right? Chad Morris. No, he followed his coach.
20:15Oh, yes. Eric. That's what he was saying. He just said.
20:19He said Chad instead of Eric. So I just wanted to clear that up.
20:24I like getting the ear to, okay, Joe Burrow because when I see him and, hey, let's hype him up, I see
20:31Aaron Rodgers' arm in lower body mechanics with some of Phillip Rivers holding the ball low before the release.
20:37So it's kind of neat. When I go and watch, I'm going to have to watch for some of that Burrow.
20:44But confident and cocky as hell, which is good.
20:47Yeah. It's, think about this. This is his first year playing, like starting after not starting at all in high school.
20:54Yeah. Like he played a little bit last year in 2024.
20:58And then this past year, it was like, all right, here are the keys.
21:03And this is what happened. So I think that we're going to see another step forward this year.
21:09Yeah. Yeah. Got a little bit of, you know, got to overcome some things.
21:13Unlike, like, you know, obviously Sayan and Arch, like we were just talking about going to Oklahoma State.
21:19You know, they got to dig out of some things a little bit here.
21:24Get back, return to some glory. But, but I like it.
21:28I like, I've been enjoying Mestamaker's climb to greatness here.
21:31But I agree. It's fun. Good, good call there.
21:34So we're at three quarterbacks in the first round.
21:37How many more will we get to? Jeremiah, do we have another quarterback here at the 107?
21:43Or how are we feeling? Hey, we stopped the slide with Ahmad Hardy at the 107.
21:48Kind of a neat little thing. He rides horses and he's avid equestrian into all that.
21:53And he'll do that on his recovery days. So pretty cool aside, just the content that's out there.
21:59It's cool to get to know the players and what drives them.
22:03Hopefully everything is good with his health and what's happened off the field, sadly.
22:081600 rushing yards last year, 5'10", 206 pounds. Ball security, zero fumbles lost in his first two seasons.
22:14Okay, he carries the ball high and tight. He sees small cuts and it's daylight and he goes through.
22:20Not like Nick Chubb, but that was a trait that Nick Chubb had so well, where he just see a gap and go so quickly.
22:29And Chubb was a lead at it. I'm just going to say Hardy is very good at it.
22:35That's what's jumped out for me. He maintains forward momentum.
22:38He can stop, decelerate, cut, and then re-accelerate upfield.
22:41It's beautiful to see. For some stats, he led the SEC in rushing in 2025.
22:46Ahmad Hardy, 25 carries of 15-plus yards, led college football.
22:49He can also break the big one. Five rushes over 30 yards last season.
22:5472, 53, 45, 43, 43, 34. So it's out there for him.
22:58And yeah, I really like him. Just the receiving, that's one knock on him, as I mentioned earlier, where we were talking about Kwon Lacy versus him.
23:07Only 22 receiving yards last year, six receptions. That may come to pass when we're talking about, hey, PPR leaks.
23:14Now, granted, we just went through this with Janarian Price, and Ahmad Hardy's a much better prospect.
23:19So the patience will be there. But maybe pump the brakes a little bit in the PPR realm.
23:25But at this point right now, we're nitpicking. Yeah.
23:28I think when you're that caliber of a player, I don't worry about it that much as far as the pass catching goes.
23:36If there was no issue, and let's say we see Hardy return to field back half a season, and he plays exactly like you saw him play.
23:45Where is he? Three, four? Where would he be?
23:48Where I took him on, Lacy. Okay. Okay. Once you're reassured.
23:52Maybe goes ahead of Cam Coleman. And what's crazy, talking about the safe button, Cam Coleman may end up, if Dante Moore
23:59is just kind of flat, like we see regression with quarterbacks.
24:03Like last year, we thought Lenore Sellers, we were talking about that earlier today, Casey, making that jump.
24:09And then he kind of went back. Happens every year with quarterbacks.
24:13And maybe Dante Moore slides down, and then it's Cam Coleman going up.
24:17And to your point, that's where Hardy would slide in.
24:20So, yeah. Right about there. All right. Let's move on to the 108.
24:25Who we got? Ryan Coleman Williams. A hyphen. And he gets compliments on the hyphen.
24:30So. That's an Uncle Buck drop, in case you're wondering.
24:33It's good. I wasn't prepared at all. Sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt you, but.
24:38No, Ryan Coleman Williams. Just so. This was. This was pretty much the guaranteed 102 when him and Jeremiah Smith were both freshmen.
24:46And we kept hearing. He's only 17 years old.
24:49He's only 17. Well, he played like a teenager this past year.
24:53And that's why he slid. Because, I mean, there's no question after, you know.
24:57But that's why we just got to let ball happen.
25:01We all. You've seen the movement skills. You've seen how electric and dynamic he is.
25:06It's just. Last year, we were riddled with inconsistency.
25:09I think that he gets back to some sort of normalcy.
25:12I think that. Believe it or not. I think Keelan Russell is going to be a downfield upgrade passing over Ty Simpson.
25:20And so, I think we'll see a better version of Ryan Coleman Williams with the bag on the line this year.
25:27I don't think he's wanting to hang out in college for another year.
25:31So, I stopped the slide. We talked about stopping the slide on, you know, on Ahmad Hardy.
25:37We're going to stop the slide on Ryan Coleman Williams right here.
25:41Six foot, 182. Just, if you want to see all the high-end traits in one place at one time, turn on the 2024 Georgia game.
25:49And you just, when you see it, you know it.
25:52And you just, you're waiting for him to go be eligible for the 2027 draft.
25:57That's what we've been waiting on since that day, since that evening.
26:01We all experienced it together. It was like being locked in from, you know, in quarantine again.
26:07Because we were all watching the same thing at the same time.
26:11It was like a Tiger. We're going to call it a Tiger King moment.
26:16Because we all saw it, same time. And it was incredible.
26:19And we can't unsee it now. So I took Ryan Coleman Williams here.
26:24You thought this was your run club era. Turns out, it was more of a thinking about run club era.
26:30The good news? Someone's marathon training is about to start.
26:34Sell your workout gear on Depop. Just snap a few photos and we'll take care of the rest.
26:40They get their race day fit and you get a payout for trying.
26:44Someone on Depop wants what you've got. Start selling now.
26:47Depop. Where taste recognizes taste. Pay's checkout is offered by your banks and credit unions.
26:52So when you shop online at participating merchants, your cards appear in one place, ready to use and kept up to date.
27:00And the best part, your actual card number isn't shared when you check out.
27:04Because boundaries are healthy. Like no work emails after six.
27:08One small step for boundaries. One big leap for checkout.
27:11Pay's. It checks out. Activation required. See pay's.com to learn more.
27:15Terms and conditions apply. All right. So we got Ryan Coleman Williams coming in there.
27:20So we haven't had no, no Lenora Sellers on the, on the list.
27:24He's just, we got to see some, we got to see him bounce back.
27:29Got to. Yep. Got to. I mean, look, there's only 12 spots.
27:33Yeah. This is the, here's the thing. If he takes another, if he takes a step forward and develops a consistency that
27:40we want to see that we've mentioned from the other quarterbacks, like Arch was bad at the beginning of the year, but
27:47Arch at the beginning of the year, his first year as a starter and him at the end of the year, two totally different things.
27:56Dante Moore had the stank on him from being at UCLA and then having to transfer back to Oregon.
28:02And he's, he played lights out for the vast majority of the year until they met Indiana with all those grown men and Kurt Cignetti being a psychopath.
28:11And so the issue, and then drew master maker is, like I said, I have some very aggressive visions for master maker.
28:19All that being said out of the quarterbacks, Lenora sellers has the highest ceiling, but also there's an element where it goes.
28:26Anthony Richardson bad in this deal. Yeah. And I think that's going to play in people's minds as well, especially if he
28:33doesn't put his best showing on tape going into 2027.
28:372027. We saw improvement coming into last year throughout his, and then it kind of, it wasn't excellent through all of last year.
28:44So we kind of like, you know, kind of petered off a little bit, if you will there.
28:50So like way, both like just wanted to see it.
28:54Didn't see it enough. But if you see it, he's, he could be the one.
28:59Oh, like he could take out arch. Like, you know, because of what the athlete, like just the specimen that we see,
29:06and we're going to get enamored with it. Because if, if the quarterback play does improve, you know, some, you know, that's somebody.
29:14All right. Yes. His ceiling is much higher. Thank you for calling that out.
29:18But his ceiling is higher than all the other quarterbacks.
29:22It's just that we have to find the floor.
29:25So yeah, we have to find the down in down out stuff because we know he can do the wow.
29:31Michael Vick, Lamar Jackson, you know, Anthony Richardson, when he's on Josh Allen, he could do all of the wow stuff.
29:38He just has to get more down in down out consistency.
29:42And it would help if South Carolina supplied him with the weapons wide receivers.
29:47They got it. They got it. The trenches should be getting a little better.
29:51That's really also a key there for, for SEC squads.
29:55All right. Let's move on to, to one Oh nine.
29:58What do we got? You're asking me who, uh, a, uh, Darian Mensa.
30:02Okay. Transfers from Duke to Miami. And this is another thing where it's like a spotlight shine of a premier program, a
30:10playoff contender, uh, just turnover from Carson Beck. You get dairy Mensa.
30:14Beautiful. 3,900 passing yards was second in, in the nation.
30:176, three, 205 pounds was a three-star prospect. He became a four-star prospect when he went to Miami as a transfer and meager interest.
30:25We're talking teams. When he initially came out to lane, San Diego state, San Jose state, just a tough scene.
30:32Uh, if there's more, it wasn't on two, four, seven.
30:35That wasn't listed, um, for strengths, excellent body angles for Mensa for throwing arc, a little bit of a bow and arrow, uh, just firing away.
30:44And he's able to trajectory the ball, get it on a good trajectory.
30:48Whereas, um, I think we were talking about another quarterback earlier.
30:52It's like the ball will die sometimes on a deep throw.
30:55Um, there's a lowering spiral, quick, efficient follow through.
30:58He can throw a great back shoulder fade throws to the receiver in veers the ball away from the defender.
31:05So we talk about lab McConkie talking about, Hey, Justin Herbert, based on where Herbert throws me the ball.
31:11I know where I got to go, where the defender is draped.
31:15I see that talent and ability there for Darian Mensa for his targets, um, some, uh, weaknesses.
31:21He's not necessarily a rusher. Okay. So he's going to have to move around the pocket, do well there.
31:27Um, Heisman candidate plus 1200. So this is a player who he's some people's, uh, mainstream target or a dark horse target as a Heisman, uh, potential candidate.
31:37So this would be another player who he could rise up.
31:40He's my faller too. He's, he's my falling knife who he could be in the top quarter of round one or at least the top half.
31:49And right now the practice of, Hey, I get a quarterback at the 109 sign me up.
31:55Yeah. There's, we're just, you know, we just talked about sellers who isn't even in here.
32:00Nobody's talked about saying yet, you know, who could obviously come in here.
32:04He's not my favorite guy either. Just, you know, but I mean, he hasn't been mentioned yet.
32:10CJ car as another one who people, I know people love him.
32:14Um, he hasn't been mentioned yet and we're, we're at what one Oh nine.
32:19Right. Uh, we're not, we haven't talked about any tight ends and we're in tight end premium.
32:24And I know this is probably a little bit of a down tight end class here.
32:30And then running back wise. I mean, we know Nate Frazier's a heavyweight favorite.
32:34No, uh, no pun intended. Um, you know, we saw what Mark Fletcher did last year at the U.
32:41So we got, we're, we only have a couple spots left.
32:44How are we going to jam all these dudes into one spot?
32:48Whoa. Oh, no. Oh, no. All right. All right.
32:51Who's got to the job. Get out of here now.
32:55Get out. All right. One 10. One 10. Going with the man with the plan.
33:00The guy who everyone said was the best Oregon tight end this past year.
33:04Going with Jamari Johnson, 6'5", 257 per PFF. Led the nation in yards after catch per reception.
33:10And all, amongst all tight ends with at least 30 targets.
33:14I can't even say it. I can't get it out of his mouth.
33:18I can't get it out there fast enough. I can't get it out there fast enough.
33:23So in a limited role, he forced seven missed tackles on 32 receptions, 40 targets, 500 yards, three touchdowns.
33:30And I just, I might end up having to capitulate on this and be like, yes, he's better than Kenyon Sadiq.
33:37I don't think he's, I don't know. I mean, the football said that he was a little bit better than Kenyon Sadiq.
33:44But also 2.45 yards per route run. Like all of these metrics allude to him absolutely having a breakout blow up year this year.
33:52Sans Kenyon Sadiq. So I wanted to, we're talking tight end premium.
33:56I have to mention Jamari Johnson and I can't, I'm looking forward to seeing what he did.
34:02It's like wash, rinse and repeat with Oregon with Dan Lanning.
34:05They just have an NFL ready, tight end, ready to go at all times.
34:10Sorry for using my hand so much if you can't see it, but they got a Penn state thing going on with the tight end position.
34:19It seems a little bit. Yeah. It's weird because you don't expect tight ends to be good and come out of Oregon,
34:26but this, this is going to make three years in a row where a guy gets really, really probably top 50 capital
34:33and probably much, much higher than that. If he does what I think he's going to do this year.
34:40Yeah. So Johnson over trade as begrudgingly. Yes. Okay.
34:43All right. And I think those are your two big ticket items.
34:47I'm sure there's some other people. But generally it's not like some crazy class.
34:51And like I said, somebody could emerge traded as, or, or Johnson could be like, Hey, we got to entire premium.
34:58We got to take, take him at six, but quarterbacks running backs, wide receivers are, I've been pretty elite so far.
35:05So at the one 11, what's you going to do, Jeremiah?
35:09What's you going to do? Nick Marsh, one 11 wide receiver transferring over to Indiana.
35:14And he's going to benefit from a program improvement.
35:17He's a 662 receiving yards last year, tough scene at Michigan state and you know, his strength.
35:23Okay. He carries defenders. He's physical. He can get vertical downfield.
35:26He's crafty with late push-offs and creating pro level separation.
35:30Always keeps his feet driving forward. Nick Marsh, quick to the catch and turn on a dime upfield.
35:36Can you work on some finer route running, uh, body catching too much versus hands where NFL defenders can punch the ball out?
35:44Certainly. Um, pro comp. This one is fun. I was like, I seen it.
35:48I've seen this before. And I love when this happens.
35:52I look up Amani Tumor and I look up height and weight.
35:56They're both six, three, and they're both within a couple of pounds of each other.
36:01The stride, the long stride legs. I knew I had seen that before where Tumor would catch the ball and turn upfield.
36:08There, there was something about it. And I was like, okay, I'm picturing.
36:12I couldn't remember if it was like, I kill your, it was on the giants too.
36:18At one point I was like, which giants receiver.
36:21And then I found, all right, it's Amani Tumor.
36:24It's not a Tuma. And that's what I see.
36:27The style. Nick Marsh, much better prospect, probably a higher trajectory.
36:30And of course he's on the path, uh, transferring up to a better program.
36:35Who is your daddy and what does he do?
36:38Um, yeah. So you like, you like Nick Marsh over at like a Charlie Becker who's already in place there.
36:45Yes. But it's funny enough. You say that because this is a seats for chair scenario.
36:50Where maybe Charlie Becker is going at the two Oh two.
36:54Like there's, there's probably about six or seven players, eight players who could be malleable to the players that we have talked about.
37:01And we like to think that we've got it down and we're sharp, but I think Shev and I both understand one Oh one through one 12 tonight.
37:11Probably going to get most of them in round one next year, but the order for seats in the chair.
37:17Bears, uh, good luck. Good luck. Yeah. I mean, there's Ryan Wingo over at Texas who has a freshman came onto the scene and was, was great.
37:26Haven't really seen much from him. Wesco at, at Clemson is, is, you know, a solid player.
37:32I don't think we've mentioned, um, the, the big fellow from Florida state, um, deuce Robinson.
37:37Yes. Uh, so, you know, there's, there's a lot of different options and a lot of different flavors out here.
37:44And then, you know, you just mentioned, um, you know, Nick transferring to, to Indiana.
37:49Indiana there already with Becker who had a fantastic run out in the play in front of everybody, you know, which can
37:56stick with a lot of people more than it maybe should sometimes.
38:00But, uh, those are things that, that do play into the court of public opinion for sure.
38:06Um, so, um, so, Shev, who you got here?
38:09Who's, is this, is this 12? Are we on 12?
38:12Are you bringing us home? We are on 12.
38:15Who's the guy you gotta jam in here that, that you gotta talk about here?
38:20Slam them up in there, slide them in there, whichever, whichever one you prefer.
38:25No diddy. But I'm going with Jaden Ball, University of Florida Gator.
38:296'1", 231 pounds and an actual battering ram. The only, you know, Dustin's brought this up a few times.
38:35The good one or the bad one? Uh, good Dustin.
38:39Okay. Not even Dustin. Got to clear that up.
38:42Yeah. Got to clear that up for, for the listeners.
38:45We're all emotionally invested in which Dustin I'm speaking of, but we're talking about a guy, 6'1", 231.
38:51I mean, 65 missed tackles forced in his first full year as a starter.
38:561100 yards rushing, eight touchdowns. No fumbles. Only one fumble in two years so far.
39:01So ball security to go along with the immense amount of violence that he plays with.
39:06And he had 33 receptions last year. So it's a big guy who can catch passes.
39:11If you're right now, I think a lot of people will probably have him either neck and neck with Mark Fletcher or
39:19maybe even him slightly ahead because he does represent a little bit more athletic element.
39:24But this is a guy that I think you're going to see rise throughout the draft process and could skyrocket in the
39:31manner in which a Nick Singleton could benefit from testing.
39:34I think he's going to test off the charts when they do, when we do get to that.
39:40So really excited about Jaden Ball. It's not just because I grew up and I've been a Florida fan my entire life,
39:48but I think that this is the type of thing where he sneaks into the first round or he gets better capital
39:55than we think into a situation that we absolutely love.
39:58And then next thing you know, he's rushing. He's basically giving you Kareem Hunt type numbers as a rookie.
40:05Yeah. So we got one more running back in there.
40:08You know, we know Justice Haynes on this one who was from Alabama to Michigan to Georgia Tech.
40:14Yeah. Then, you know, you got the Haltowel in the back.
40:18We've got no smothers to transfer to Texas. Yeah.
40:21So that should be really fun. Any other any other honorable mentions here that you guys want to throw in?
40:27I've been trying to throw some in along the way just to kind of throw their names in the ring.
40:34Anybody you guys want to bring up before we wrap today's 27 Superflex tight end premium rookie mock-up?
40:40You got Relique Brown, the other backfield mate. You got KJ Duff is very popular.
40:45I know you had mentioned Casey Julian Sand. I'm not saying, I'm just saying.
40:50CJ Bailey is not going to be a round one player, but he's somebody who could pack into round two where it's like, hey, seats for chairs.
40:59You mentioned Lenora Sellers. It's incredible. All this tells me is, damn, you better be ammoed and bricked up with some second round 27 picks.
41:07And you need to be either acquiring or holding on to them for dear life.
41:12And it's crazy. Liquidity, you might not get a first round player for a 20, 27 second.
41:18But the market is at least gridlocked where it may not move because people are savvy on how damn good.
41:24There were so many players it was a chore to select the 12 that we did for the pool that we have.
41:32Right. I think two points of, yeah, you want to hang on to them.
41:36But if you're a good team and you've been a good team and you're built with some depth, like you certainly could
41:44take advantage of this 27 class by potentially trading them away and getting good known players right now to help you out win cash now.
41:52Obviously, these are very coveted picks. I'm not necessarily just being willy nilly and reckless with them, but the value is very high.
42:00So, you know, you can go acquire big packages, pause, with them.
42:04If you're already got all your systems go in place and take advantage of what, you know, this is a zig when everyone's zagging.
42:12If you have everything in place to do so.
42:15But also the point of the seconds is we just did a live show and we were talking about somebody's team and
42:22like they're kind of in a rebuild, but a bunch of players have kind of already acquired chunks of the 27 first.
42:29Like we just mentioned a bunch of different guys, like 27 seconds.
42:33There's a much looser grip on them right now.
42:36People aren't that forward of thinking of saying I got to hold on to all these 27 seconds.
42:42So while it may be, you know, of course you want to try to get the 27 first, like don't be, they
42:50should be a little bit more valued than normal seconds.
42:53And so you should be able to, and, and I don't think people are quite as focused.
42:59Like everyone's just so locked in on gotta get a 27 first, gotta get a 27 first.
43:04Whereas we just mentioned a bunch of guys where there there's probably a lot of meat on the bone for some 27 seconds.
43:12And I've had a lot of success just stacking seconds and being able to run through a second, especially in a draft
43:19like this, run through a second and have five, six picks.
43:23Because people like you were trying for the first and then you settled for, you know, grabbing seconds.
43:29Uh, I think that's a, that was a nice, nice point there.
43:33Shev, you got any, anything else you want to add before we wrap up?
43:38Terrence Carter Jr. Out of Texas tech. Mm-hmm. So six foot two.
43:42No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Tight end.
43:45Tight end. Okay. Yeah. So, uh, led league or led the NCAA with again, qualifier, qualifier yards after the catch, uh, yards
43:52after the catch in 2025, transferred up from Louisiana, Lafayette up to Texas tech, 18 missed tackles forced in 2024, 23 and
43:592025 led the nation in that category as well.
44:02More of a big slot. The power slot that we've alluded to the NFL is kind of transitioning to in the mold
44:10of a Justin Jolie, like just line of 50% slot alignment rate this past year, 10% out wide, very red 38% in line.
44:17So he's not, he's not a traditional tight end, but he's got the juice after the catch that we like to have.
44:25And he was over two yards per hour run this past year.
44:29So I just wanted to make sure I brought that up because we, I mean, again, seats for chairs, seats for chairs, baby.
44:36Um, Trinidad, Winidad, Trinidad, Winidad. Hey, there's only 12 spots, right?
44:40I just, I wanted to bring him up. We, you know, he was somebody who, you know, we were kind of in
44:47this, obviously a down draft class on the quarterback position, but, um, seems like he's going to play again.
44:54So, um, you know, somebody to keep your eye on.
44:57And then I just, I go back to watching lemon this year and my Ava, I think is, I don't know.
45:04I just accuracy. I just, I, and I don't watch, I haven't watched a ton of USC and I don't know.
45:11Like, and obviously they're always somebody who probably doesn't quite perform to the level that we want to know.
45:17They just had another great recruiting class, yada, yada, yada.
45:21But I just, when I, when I saw watching lemon, I just thought that he was elevated and not that he needed
45:28to be, but like so many balls were exactly where they needed to be with him.
45:33Um, so he's definitely another QB that I'd, I'd be keeping my eyes on.
45:38Not that that's groundbreaking news. So there's just, I mean, this is again, because there are good quarterbacks, there's going to be
45:45some talent that gets pushed down the board because people get horny for quarterbacks because it's the easiest point to get a quarterback.
45:53That's going to mean something for your team. Hmm.
45:56I like it. All right. For Shev, Jeremiah, Casey, or the FF dynasty, the fantasy powder throuple, if you will.
46:03And this was all, of course, for your pleasure.
