0:31The Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your hosts, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore and Mike Wright.
0:35Ladies and gentlemen, welcome into the podcast. The Fantasy Footballers Podcast if you're nasty.
0:40It's me, Mike. Oh, thank you. My best friend Jason Moore.
0:44What's going on everybody? It is a 10 team mock draft type of day.
0:49Yes, it is. People have been asking for it.
0:52We said, okay. Something like that. Our fearless leader.
0:55You're like, hey, where's Andy? Didn't he just take some time?
0:59He did. He did. He did. However, he is now.
1:03Does he have? I'm on his buttons. If there's an applause button, we can go ahead.
1:08I got you. Yeah, give me some of that because the people love it.
1:13Andy is celebrating his 20th wedding anniversary with his lovely wife.
1:17So, he'll be out for the next. This one and Saturday.
1:21This one and the next one. So, but that's where he is.
1:25Like, hey, when you've been married for 20 years, you get to go out and you need a vacation.
1:32You get to do a little celebrating, but welcome into the show.
1:36I will be your host, Mike the Fantasy Hitman, right?
1:40I will be your host for today. Like I said, it is a 10-team mock.
1:45Let's get into the quick question. Here we go.
1:48Oh, speaking of an Andy, it's an Andy in Rhode Island.
1:52It says, hey, fantasy footballers, my league of record is quite competitive.
1:56And we use a six-point quarterback passing touchdown scoring format as opposed to four.
2:01And they're wondering just how does that truly affect the rankings of the quarterbacks?
2:06Jason, six-point passing versus four points. It really, really does not affect much.
2:11I would say this. As far as whether you draft a quarterback earlier or later, like the position, it affects absolutely nothing.
2:18I mean, literally nothing. A lot of times people are like, well, no, in my league, they score six per touchdown and
2:26therefore quarterbacks score more and therefore quarterbacks are more important and they're blah, blah, blah.
2:31But they all score more. It really does not affect the – I mean, we've seen studies done on this.
2:38In fact, late-round quarterback drafting is sometimes even more valuable and easier to capture fantasy points when you get the quarterbacks and
2:46the good matchups streaming that can throw a couple of touchdowns predictably.
2:50What it does do is it changes the order of the quarterbacks within where you were already going to draft them, specifically
2:58guys like Jalen Hurts, who is a rushing touchdown machine.
3:02Because you get the bonus two points. Right. If you rush it in, you get six.
3:07Exactly. And so, you know, you just have to think, is this a guy who's going to score a lot of touchdowns
3:15on the ground or few touchdowns on the ground?
3:18You know, Burrow is going to throw a ton of touchdowns.
3:22Right. But he's probably not going to rush for a ton.
3:26Ironically – Burrow's my biggest mover. On our desk here, we've got Jalen Hurts and Joe Burrow.
3:32I think those are the two biggest movers. So, yeah, it doesn't change a lot.
3:37The market is still the market. It shifts a couple guys around, like, you know, Burrow's more valuable.
3:43I think Brock Purdy is more valuable in a six-point.
3:47So, you don't really need to overreact. Just kind of know that if you're in a four-point, the rushing guys are going
3:55to be a little bit more valuable. Brooks wants me to remind everyone, which is a good reminder, the Ultimate Draft Kit,
4:02which is the only draft kit that you need.
4:05You can get that at ultimatedraftkit.com. We're always updating it.
4:09Sleepers, breakouts, busts, values, 100-plus player profile videos, all of our projections, tons and tons of stuff.
4:15Like I said, it's the only thing you need to get you ready for your fantasy football draft.
4:21We have just recently added a mock draft tool.
4:24If you have a UDK, like, if you have access, you have access to these mock drafts as well.
4:31It's right there. You just got to update it.
4:34It went live on iOS, and it is live now on Android as well.
4:39But you got to make sure that you've updated your app to the newest version.
4:44But it should be there. And please jump in there.
4:48Have some mocks. Look around. It's a little bit, you know, I mean, it's a pretty straightforward mock draft tool.
4:55But you have access to ADPs from other sources where generally you go.
5:00If you're playing on ESPN, if you're playing on Yahoo, if you're on these platforms.
5:05Yeah, they're not like, hey, why don't you upload your sleeper scoring or ADP.
5:10You genuinely really should. I mean, the reason we do these mock draft episodes is they are so valuable.
5:16And they're the most valuable. The reason we do them here the way we do them, which is every single person is
5:24a human, is because that's replicating what we think we're going to experience the most in real life.
5:30When you're on your platforms, your platform's ADP has an effect that it shouldn't have, but it does.
5:37And we just all need to recognize that. And when you...
5:41It gets everybody. When you do those mock drafts against your platform's ADP, you can figure out, oh, this guy falls later than I think he should.
5:50This guy goes too high. You know, different strategies.
5:53So it's obviously, we're not charging anything extra for it.
5:57We're putting it in the ultimate draft kit. If you've got the ultimate draft kit, you're good.
6:03We've got so many new tools. The draft kit's awesome.
6:06The value scout tool that we just put out recently, that's awesome.
6:10The Felix Prospect models, there's so much stuff in it.
6:14So yeah, it's a good time to get in.
6:17Yeah, ultimatedraftkit.com. Having said that, let's move on. The Fantasy Footballers Mock Draft.
6:22Right into things. It is a 10-team half PPR.
6:25We are doing a three-wide receiver, one flex. And with four bench spots, because we've got to be able to finish the
6:33draft and get out of here in an appropriate amount of time.
6:37I have started the draft. Oh, I'll lay it out.
6:40The draft order. The Falcon. Well, which, ladies and gentlemen, the people have, we haven't talked about it for a while.
6:48Go to a head. Oh, yes. Matt, hold up your trophy.
6:52Oh, what is that? You got the trophy back.
6:55Yes. So, the original holder of the golden toilet.
6:58So, everyone. Yeah, take it all. Take it all.
7:01Okay. Everyone can sleep easy knowing that the trophy has been returned to where it should be.
7:07And for a reminder for the rules of the trophy, just for those, you know, new listeners or those who have forgotten.
7:15When we are ready to record a show. Yeah.
7:18And. But the day before, we say recording is at this time.
7:22Right. Everyone needs to be ready to go at that time.
7:26Yeah. And when everyone is ready, but there's one person who is, I don't know, maybe on a toilet and can't be there when they're supposed to be.
7:36Yeah. They get that trophy. You get the trophy.
7:39Changed hands. Until someone else. It will. It's moved around.
7:42Yeah. It'll get there. We got Owl is picking in slot two.
7:47I am pick three. Matthew Betts, the fantasy PT, is at pick four.
7:51Papa Josh at five. Kyle Borg, K-Borg, the Borgannoni, at six.
7:55Brooks is at seven. Jason, you are at eight.
7:58Julia, our editor, is at 109. And then Jake, the graphics, baby Jake, will be at the turn at the 110.
8:06Oh, man. I hope Gibbs makes it to me.
8:09I got bad news for you, Jason. So because of the three wide, I assume, the Falcon went with Jamar Chase at the 101.
8:17That doesn't bother me at all. If you want, because of the three wide, if you want to start with those wide
8:25receivers, the elite guys, that doesn't bother me. But Jameer Gibbs at pick three, that makes it very easy for me to
8:33start the draft because Owl took Bijon at the 102.
8:36So not a ton of difference here. Just Jamar at 101 is interesting.
8:41Betts is going to take Puka, Papa Josh, Amonra, St.
8:44Brown. Ooh, Amonra had a JSN, Papa Josh. That's kind of spicy.
8:49JSN goes to Kyle. Brooks gets Christian McCaffrey. Jason, you're on the clock.
8:53I'm on the clock. And, you know, honestly, I wanted one of those four wide receivers in this format.
9:00If not, then obviously I would love Bijon or Gibbs.
9:03And if not, then I'm in the spot I'm in.
9:07There does seem to be, after McCaffrey, would you have taken McCaffrey?
9:11No, no, I wouldn't have taken McCaffrey. I, obviously McCaffrey is well deserving of being taken.
9:17He was last year's, you know, scored the most fantasy points.
9:20He does that pretty frequently every couple of years.
9:24The volume and the age that he has just seen and is, it genuinely scares me.
9:29And I think that, you know, I personally would tie break that.
9:33I've got Jonathan Taylor ahead of him. Um, you know.
9:37Okay. Right. Last year before Daniel Jones was injured, Jonathan Taylor was outscoring Christian McCaffrey.
9:42Yeah. But then what happened? Then Daniel Jones got injured and the Colts couldn't move the ball as well.
9:49I'm just saying. Yeah. Christian McCaffrey. No, I get it.
9:52Um, at wide receiver. He doesn't care who the quarterback is.
9:56He just keeps cooking. At wide receiver. Um, there's only one guy that would be in consideration here.
10:03CD lamb, a former, you know, another player that's been the number one at the position.
10:08So I'm either taking a guy who's been the number one wide receiver or a guy who's been the number one running back.
10:16And I will take Jonathan Taylor. All right. Johnny Taylor goes one Oh eight.
10:21Julia takes CD lamb, putting baby Jake on for the turn.
10:25He goes with James cook and Justin Jefferson. Any issues here with the first round?
10:30Pretty, I think it's plain Jane here. I think it's pretty standard.
10:35Um, no, no crazy things that I'm, I'm sitting here at a spot where I almost regret, um, take already very early.
10:42I already regret your pick. I do because while I do think Jonathan Taylor and CD lamb both represented kind of the
10:50end of their tier, um, this is your first pick.
10:54Well, no, listen, listen. Why? Because to me, four players later, Ashton, Gentie and Omari and Hampton are.
11:00They're not close to Taylor. I think, I think both of those players could end up being a top five running back this season.
11:08Whereas the next best wide receiver to me is Drake London.
11:12And I love Drake London, but I don't think he's going to be a top five wide receiver.
11:18So I would rather have CD lamb and Ashton Gentie rather than Jonathan Taylor and Drake London personally.
11:25So I'm going to, this is a mock draft.
11:28So CD lamb, James cook. Then we, the round two has started.
11:32Justin Jefferson followed by Devon. Achan. Yeah. So I, I'm going to play with this and see how it goes starting running back heavy.
11:41I'm going to take in a three wide, in a three wide receiver.
11:45This is why I'm saying I, I, I regret, I wish I had started with CD lamb, but, um, I'm still going
11:53to let the draft come to me. I don't feel like I'm going to reach for a position just because, um, you
12:01know, if, if, if I think that there is a higher tier player available early, I'm not going to reach down for a different position.
12:09So I'm going to take Gentie. I love Gentie.
12:13I think he has a chance. Both of these guys, Jonathan Taylor and Ashton Gentie have a chance to, um, be top five at the position.
12:22So you took Gentie. Then when Brooksie went, AJ Brown in contention, AJ Brown can definitely be the wide receiver one on the season.
12:30Kyle takes Hampton, Papa Josh riding low T with Amon Ra and Drake London.
12:35Then Matthew Betts goes with the Saquon Barkley pick.
12:38Like interesting, the, the Josh being the only team to take two wide outs in a three wide receiver format is interesting.
12:46I wonder if that's just like the 10 team people feel like they can find some value later.
12:52So that puts me on the board. Uh, my big board, uh, look, I'm taking a wide receiver.
12:59Oh, let me peek. So running backs. Ooh, I mean, Ken bone Walker is there as is chase Brown and Derek Henry.
13:06I love all three of those guys, but I want to get on the wide receiver.
13:12Train here. My big board would have rice, Nico, Olave and George as my most likely targets here, man.
13:19The Rasheed, Rasheed rice is interesting, Jason, because we're, we're both very bullish.
13:23And I think that, you know, if he's on the field, he's going to just produce fantasy points.
13:29And yet I, he's still, when I, when I clicked the name, I'm still, you don't feel good about it.
13:36Yeah. Which I mean, you, sometimes you gotta be able to remove your, your emotions from there and just go with the,
13:44you know, the, the math, the stats or what do you believe the points are going to be.
13:51But it, he still has a little, I mean, if you were to take a look at the league and just say,
13:58just say like odds at someone doing something that hasn't been done yet.
14:03Right. Like not like, Oh, he's going to be suspended for the fact that he went to jail, breaking his parole, but just something new comes up.
14:12He would be high up on the list. And just knuckleheads.
14:16Mahomes is coming off the injury by all accounts.
14:19Everything sounds fantastic. I'm going to go away from my rankings just cause I, I want George on my team.
14:26Interesting. I'm going with Gibbs and George Pickens is my first two picks.
14:31Producer Borland is on the clock. He's going to take Nico to go with Bijan and the Falcon.
14:37Whoa. The Falcon was ready. You want this draft to be done quickly, don't you?
14:42He's got to get back to that bathroom. Yeah.
14:46He's sweating over there. So the Falcon on the turn went with Brock Bowers and Ken Bone Walker.
14:52It's a mighty trio there. And then Borland took McBride.
14:55Okay. So the first two teams, three different positions to start their draft.
15:00Oh my gosh. I look, yeah, I got to take rice then.
15:04Cause I like my, my projections and everything. Oh yeah.
15:08Kyle bring up a great point here of in a, people ask us about the onesies a lot in a 10 teamer.
15:16An elite tight end does change things. Yes. Elite tight end and elite quarterback are more important.
15:21Especially elite tight end quarterbacks. You can find more streamers, but it does make a difference if you have the elite, but
15:29the elite tight end though is truly a difference maker on a 10 team.
15:34The reason why is because at the end of a 10 team draft, everyone's team is good.
15:40Yes. You're, you're, you're going to have a strong roster.
15:44So it's really the guys who score a difference making amount at a position, um, that win championships in 10 team leagues.
15:51I'm going to stick with Rasheed Rice though, as you should have, you should have taken rice over Pickens.
15:58You got really lucky. Uh, I think that's a great, I mean, starting with Gibbs, the number one running back and then
16:06having rice and Pickens is an outstanding feeling good.
16:09It's feeling good. So after rice went, Matthew Betts took Henry Papa Josh took chase Brown.
16:15Kai Borg went with Jeremiah love in the three Oh six.
16:18Okay. Jeremiah love Kyle Borg, a perhaps a believer that Kyle, I don't know if you're on Mike.
16:25Do you, do you feel like love can be a top five guy?
16:29I think as my RB two, I feel way better here than I normally would in a 12 team league.
16:36Right. But, but Ted Rowe, McMillan, uh, Garrett Wilson, Devante Smith.
16:40I mean, you had like big boy wide receivers there and you went with the running back.
16:46And I feel okay about it. That's the way to be.
16:50Just feel okay. Brooks takes Chris Olave to pair with AJ Brown and Christian McCaffrey.
16:55Jason, you're back on the clock. You're high T right now.
16:59I I'm, I'm high T. I started with two running backs that I love.
17:04Um, I'm looking here. I obviously need to get a wide receiver.
17:08However, um, this is, we just brought it up in a 10 team league.
17:13I am looking to get there's, there's only, okay.
17:16There's only, honestly, I think there's three of them for sure, which is Bowers, McBride and Josh Allen.
17:23Those three guys to me are onesie difference makers.
17:26The guys that will just be scoring a few more points than everyone else's, uh, team at that position.
17:32And I looked and I'm like, okay, I'm, I'm near the turn.
17:37Maybe he would come back to me. There's wide receivers.
17:40I definitely like more or less, but there are four wide receivers that I would be okay with as my wide receiver.
17:48One four picks before me. So if they were to take Josh Allen here, I would be, I'd be like, dang it.
17:56So even though I would end up with two wide receivers, I'm going to take Josh Allen.
18:02I'm gonna pull the trigger, take that onesie in a 10 team league and make sure I can lock in.
18:09I think those three players are a difference maker in, in a league like this.
18:14All right. So Jason goes Josh Allen, three wide receiver.
18:17You have none so far through three rounds. Julia finishes her third round with Tedrow McMillan and then baby Jakes took T Higgins.
18:25We're going to take a quick break and get into round four.

19:10Call 1-800-GRAINGER, click Grainger.com or just stop by Grainger for the ones who get it done.
19:16Before the break, baby Jake took T Higgins to close the third round.
19:20He starts the fourth, the 401 goes with Kyron Williams.
19:24Then Julia gets Devante Smith, which CD lamb, H and Ted row McMillan, Devante Smith.
19:29Yeah. I like her. You gotta be feeling good about that in a three wide to have three stud wide receivers and
19:37H and yeah, you can't be complaining. Here I am.
19:40I think the player that I wanted the most, it's funny because this worked out well for me at wide receiver because
19:48I would have taken Devante Smith and I probably would have taken Tett, but the player I really wanted in a three wide receiver.
19:56That's what I did that. And I was like, you know what?
20:01I want George. Right. Yeah, sure. I want Garrett Wilson.
20:04I want a guy since I'm taking my first wide receiver in round four in a three wide, which is not my normal strategy.
20:13I want a guy who's going to go out there and get 160 targets, 180 targets.
20:18He will. And so the talent is there. Obviously I've made it known how great Geno Smith is.
20:25It's known. It is known. So yeah, I think Garrett Wilson's in for a great year.
20:30Okay. So you took Garrett. Brooks took a buka.
20:33What is happening? Which hold on. Brooks's team of McCaffrey, AJ Brown, Olave, Ibuka.
20:38I like that. Followed up by Kyle. Kyle. Just trying to get the monkey off his back.
20:44You got to get your guys. Colston Loveland. Mr.
20:47Loveland. Mr. Loveland to you. No fantasy analyst out there.
20:51None. Has been more vocal in their disgust. Hatred.
20:54Irrational disdain. Disdain. Absolutely. Just for no reason. Yeah.
20:57He just. And then. And then. Because we just wanted all of us to feel bad that we don't get Loveland.
21:05Right. Right. Man. He's probably not even. He's going to bench him.
21:09He's going to draft a second tight end. I will say this, Kyle.
21:13I know you don't believe this, but it was a great pick.
21:18Yeah, it was. Yeah. If Loveland had fallen to me in the fourth, that would have been very difficult to pass.
21:25Papa Josh takes Brees Hall. He is balanced with two wide and two running backs.
21:30Betts is also balanced. Unless you took Jalen Waddell there.
21:34That's an interesting bit. How do you feel about Jalen Waddell in the 407?
21:39You know, Jalen Waddell is not very exciting to me, but I've brought this up a few times.
21:45When I went back and watched the Broncos film and watched Bo Nix deep and the opportunities, the opportunities are there.
21:52He did not have a player to take advantage of them.
21:56Waddell is a player that can take advantage of them.
22:00So, I'm open to Waddell being better than I think.
22:03Right now, I just view Waddell as like the wide receiver 20, you know, wide receiver 24.
22:09But I'm open to the fact that he could end up being a wide receiver one this year.
22:16So, it's okay. I'm lukewarm. It's like you get in the water and you're like, this is nice.
22:22Yeah. It's not great. But it's okay. Yeah. On the board, let me look at the running backs real quick.
22:29Josh Jacobs, Travis HN Jr., Javante, Bucky, Hendo. You know, kind of a little bit of a flat tier there for me.
22:37At the wide receiver position, the Malik neighbors question will be out there.
22:41When does that happen? Lad McConkie, Luther Burden, Zay Flowers.
22:45Those are the guys who are at the top of the ADP.
22:49And Jason, you are still the only team that does not have – or you're the only team that has, I'm sorry, a quarterback.
22:57At the tight end position, Tyler Warren is still there.
23:01But the turn for me is two teams that already have an elite tight end.
23:06That's smart. Smart, Michael. Now, I can look at that and be like, no, go ahead.
23:12I double dog dare you ruin your team by wasting another pick on a top tier tight end, but I'm not going to do it.
23:20So, yeah, I'm going to force them to make that decision.
23:24I'm going with my guy. I'm taking Zay Flowers.
23:27Okay. Zay Flowers in the fourth, maybe a little bit early on the ADP, but my wide receiver three was a top
23:3510 guy last year with over 1,200 receiving yards.
23:38So, I feel pretty similar to Zay as I do about Waddle.
23:43However, I'm more confident that – Al, what are you doing?
23:46I'm going all in on my guy. Oh, baby.
23:50Al went Jacobs and Christian Watson. What? He's going Packers heavy.
23:53Okay. So, I took Zay Flowers. Al Borland, Josh Jacobs at the 4-9, which that's fine.
23:59Jacobs there, and then the Falcon went with Cam Scadaboo, opens up the fifth round with Ladd McConkie, then Al with Christian Watson.
24:07I had Jacobs, then Flowers, then Watson in my queue.
24:11So, Josh Jacobs, like all in on the Green Bay Packers with a fourth and fifth round pick.
24:17That's right. Go Pack, go. That's riding. That's riding kind of dirty.
24:21So, I had set up the plan of Tyler Warren is there.
24:25This is a PPR format, which I think does elevate Tyler Warren, because I'm in on Tucker Craft.
24:32I'm in on George Kittle as I'm just, look, free in the wind.
24:36I'm going to draft them as if they are not hurt, and if that comes back and hurts me later, it's just
24:44a risk that this offseason I am willing to take.
24:48But Malik Neighbors, as a wide receiver four, that's interesting.
24:51I'm going to go ahead and do it. I'm going to take Malik with this build of Jameer, George, Rasheed Rice, Zay
24:59Flowers, Malik Neighbors, of being, I mean, obviously I have the wide receivers.
25:03I need to fill out the rest of my team, but if Malik is back to anything remotely Malik-esque by week four,
25:11week five, then my four-pack of wide receivers will be devastating.
25:15Yeah, I mean, I had neighbors on my, like he was who I was targeting the most.
25:21Even though, obviously, I'm only one wide receiver, I also view that, you can view that in two different ways.
25:28You can be like, well, you really need a guy who's going to be on the field week one, sure, but also
25:36when he gets back on, I will be loaded and star-powered studded, starting without wide receivers to get really back.
25:4310-teamer, so it will be easier for, slightly easier to cover the lack of production at the beginning.
25:49So I take Malik, Matthew Betts went Terry McLaurin, Papa Josh took Tyler Warren, then Kyle, ooh, Kyle was going elite onesies, I don't blame him.
25:58He follows up his incredible pick, his incredibly hurtful, spiteful pick of Colston Loveland with Lamar Jackson.
26:04Brooksy takes Drake May, so they have their quarterbacks.
26:07Jason, you're up. You have Johnny Taylor, Ashton Genthy, Josh Allen, Garrett Wilson.
26:12Where are you looking? So I'm pretty happy. I wanted Malik to fall to me, but I'm very happy with, I'm going
26:20to get two wide receivers here at this turn, and I don't even care.
26:24There's enough wide receivers that I like on the board.
26:28I'm not scared of the four that are going to go at this turn.
26:33Julian already has three. So there's two players that I really want to come back to the next one.
26:40This pick, I'm actually going to pull the trigger on an old man, and the question is whether I go Devontae Adams
26:47or Mike Evans, because Mike Evans projects to be the clear number one wide receiver.
26:53I like Brock Purdy. I believe in Mike Evans a lot this year.
26:57Devontae Adams, you know, he was just, what was he like?
27:01He was a top 15 wide receiver last year.
27:04Something. Led the league in touchdowns. But I'm going to go with what I actually believe.
27:10I believe Mike Evans still has it. I don't think he's lost anything.
27:14I think he's going to be the leader for a good offense and prove that he is a second ballot Hall of Fame wide receiver.
27:23All right. So you have taken Mike Evans as your wide receiver too.
27:28Jules took DeAndre Swift. Julia's team is really good.
27:31Baby Jake's Luther Burden at the end of the fifth.
27:34The 5'10". That's fine. That's a fine area. Jason and I were talking Luther Burden on the footcast of this week, and
27:42it was kind of me lamenting just Luther Burden's ADP is so high.
27:47There is just, there is, like, he's already done it.
27:50I like to use the phrase, hey, draft this guy.
27:54The risk is baked in. Well, it's like, the risk is completely, the reward is baked in right now.
28:00Yeah, the reward is baked in. You're not getting the, if he's really good, then you got him where he's supposed to be really good.
28:09Yes, so I, it's, his ADP is tough because I really believe in the player and the situation, and I hope he
28:17works out, but that is, it's tough. Baby Jake's, he takes Javante Williams next.
28:22Julia took Devante Adams, so that old man is no longer available for you, Jason.
28:27Which I wasn't going to go, the two, you can't put, Dub Olds.
28:32You can't put Mike Evans and Devante Adams on the same team.
28:36That's, you're asking for trouble. The two players that I wanted to come, I was really hoping one of them would, would be picked and neither was.
28:45Carnell Tate, you know, a top, you know, the number four.
28:49They said, sixth round to get a, a wide receiver of his, you know, production, his draft stock, that's fantastic.
28:56And so, I'm between him and Roma Dunze. I know we've, we've had that conversation of, you know, you don't necessarily believe it's Rome.
29:05I, I look back, I went back and I watched the tape.
29:09I mean, Rome was the dude. Rome was a, the wide receiver three at the beginning of last season before he got injured and then struggled with it.
29:19But he, he burned very hot with touchdowns. Yes, yes he did.
29:23But he was also on pace for, I mean, he was clearly the leader in target share, in yardage, in pretty much
29:31every statistic at the beginning of the year. I feel like he was only putting up like, 60 a week though.
29:38On the yardage, I don't know, but target market share, I know he was very high.
29:44Yardage through the first four, or actually. What was he on pace for?
29:48Here, I'm going to go. You're going to make it worse?
29:52Well, I can. I was just trying to make the sample a little bit bigger.
29:57So the first month, he was averaging 74 yards.
30:00So he had 37, so 128, but then a game was 62 and 69.
30:05He would have been on pace for 148 targets, 85 receptions, 1,258 yards, and then 21 touchdowns, which obviously that's not going to happen.
30:14Man, it's really tough between those two guys. I'm not a big believer in Cam Ward.
30:19When I watch the tape, I want pieces of the Chicago offense.
30:24I'm going to do it. I'm going to take, this is the draft where it's like Mike Evans and Roma Dunze, I'm
30:31reaching for both of them above where they usually go.
30:35So I think, you know, this is one of those where, maybe the average scoring system would say, I didn't get the
30:43best draft here, but you take who you believe in.
30:46And I do believe in Mike Evans and Roma Dunze, and it doesn't matter what, you know, the expectations are.
30:53It just matters what do they actually do this year?
30:57So you took Rome. Brooks went Travis H. A.N.
31:00Jr. Kyle took Carnell Tate. Papa Josh took Bashaw Tootin, who probably would have been my pick had he made it to me.
31:08And then Matthew Betts went with Jameson Williams. One thing we didn't talk about last round, Brooks took Drake May as the quarterback three.
31:16Right. It doesn't bother me. No, it does not bother me of what he was able to do last year.
31:23You can say schedule this year. That's okay. But he beat the crap out of people last year.
31:30The playoff run was terrible, but in the regular season he was just beating people up, and now he has A.J.
31:37Brown, which Brooks also has A.J. Brown. Yes. So he took his stack.
31:42The stack makes sense. I guess I was forgetting that he took A.J.
31:46Brown in the second round. Joe Burrow sitting there would be hard for me to take Drake May over him, but if
31:54you want the stack, that makes sense. Yeah. You're too in the McDaniel system.
31:59I can see it. I don't have a problem with Drake May going there.
32:04Now, for my squad, I am back on the clock.
32:07I only have one running back and the four wide receivers.
32:11Running back-wise, ADP, we got Bucky, which, goodness gracious, are there any running backs that just feel as meh as Bucky right now?
32:19It's really unfair. I feel like I need to get some Mountain Dews and throw on some Bucky Irving highlights and just
32:27try to recapture and remember the feelings. It's crazy because last year, Bucky was like the running back seven in drafts because
32:35he was that good as a rookie. He was supposed to be a superstar.
32:40Then last year, he got injured. He dealt with injuries all year.
32:44And the addition of, the subtraction of Rashad White, addition of Kenny Gainwell.
32:48See, that could easily be neutral. That could very easily be.
32:52I mean, I know we're like, oh, Kenny Gainwell is better than Rashad White.
32:57Rashad White was very involved, very much a part of this team in the last couple years.
33:03But it's not like they just added Kenny Gainwell.
33:06They added Kenny Gainwell and they got rid of Rashad White.
33:10If Bucky comes out the way that he was as a rookie, this will be his backfield.
33:16He could be a phenomenal pick. But it is really tough and I agree with you.
33:22You just like, what we saw last year while he was injured was, you know, one of the biggest busts in fantasy football.
33:30So it's tough to pull the trigger on him.
33:33It is. It's hard to bounce back. What running back number are we at right now?
33:39I mean, there's got to be, you've got to be, are we drafting the 26th running back yet?
33:45Because that's wild for Bucky to be there. I don't know.
33:49You would have to, why don't you just tell me how many running backs we have drafted?
33:55Koss says RB 22. So, that's fine. But anyway, so running backs, Bucky is there.
34:00Henderson is there. At this point of a draft, I don't think that it's terrible.
34:05You know, Henderson early in the fourth or so is, I just can't do that.
34:10Judkins, those are kind of the top of ADP for the running back position at wide receiver.
34:16DJ Moore, Brian Thomas, Jordan Tyson is interesting. Marvin Harrison, you know, the tight ends, Heather's, Tyler Warren was taken, but other
34:24than that, that's kind of the status quo of Fannin Craft, Kincaid, Laporta, you know, the usual suspects are there.
34:31Now, quarterback wise, three have been taken. We're in the sixth.
34:35So, we could go, I could take Joey B right here.
34:39I could take Jaden, which both of those guys I think are fair projections or fair picks to be the overall QB1 on the season.
34:48You know, Dak would be my preferred stack of the remaining quarterbacks, but will Dak fight to be the number one quarterback?
34:55I'm just not sure that he'll be able to do that.
34:59I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to take Joe Burrow here.
35:04I figured when, when Joey got to you in the sixth round in a 10 team league where you really do want
35:12the positional advantages of elite players, Joe Burrow in the six is great value.
35:17So, Owl saw that and he said, I need to get in.
35:21So, he took a quarterback. I was going to take Burrow there.
35:25He took Jaden Daniels at the corner. The Falcon has taken Bucky and Brian Thomas and he's upset, which, which stack were you upset about?
35:34The chase. Oh, the Jamar. Oh, man. You, you were sitting there in the shadows.
35:39Yeah, I'm bummed. Too bad for you. I took him.
35:42So, you took Bucky, you took Brian Thomas and then, Owl, you took Jordan Tyson as we head here to the seventh.
35:50Yeah, I think that's a fantastic pick there. A lot of upside.
35:54So, running back wise, I still only have the one running back.
35:59I think it might be time to try and shake that up.
36:03I'll take Henderson. Henderson at the 703 just seems, that's not a problem.
36:07The risk has been absorbed at that point. I like you taking him because, you know, last year you were so in on him as a rookie.
36:17It turned out great. He had a slow start but proved that he was very good.
36:23the rest of the regular season obviously into the playoffs they stopped using him which is...
36:28He was still being used. I don't know. Ramondre, it freaks me out what they could do on a week-to-week basis.
36:36Yeah, but it's, it just makes me feel good inside to see Henderson go to your team.
36:41Oh, I appreciate that. I don't like it for me because I was praying Henderson got to me but I wanted one
36:49of three running backs to get back to me.
36:52I wanted either Henderson. So, before, I took Henderson, Matthew Betts took Jalen Hurts then went Parker Washington and David Montgomery.
37:00That was one of the others. And Tucker Craft goes to Brooks.
37:04And so, I will end up with the third of the three guys that I wanted but I think Quinshawn Judkins he proved a lot.
37:13I know you look at the... Judkins, Henderson and Judkins in this round feels wild.
37:18Yeah, I mean, he might have been inefficient in total yards per carry but he's behind a bad offensive line.
37:25He looked great. They spent a top 10 pick on the offensive line.
37:30You know, they've made some changes where I think lanes will open up.
37:34Judkins really was impressive as a rookie and he's the whole show.
37:38If he gets the passing work as well, which maybe it'll be Dylan Sampson but Judkins is a quality player who really
37:46is going to own the vast majority of a backfield.
37:50It's not, you know, unfortunately it's the Browns. The timing of the pick here, it'll be magnified here when I say you
37:57took Quinshawn Judkins, Jules with the next pick took Ramondre Stevenson which I'm not saying it's a bad pick but it's just
38:05like, man, okay, that's interesting that Judkins fell there.
38:08Jalen Warren for Pittsburgh will close out the round to baby Jake.
38:12We're going to take one more quick break and we'll be back with the rest of the draft.

39:15Jake opens up round eight, takes his guy, he takes the Iceman, Caleb Williams, Chicago Homer, gets his quarterback at a very good value, no problems there.
39:24Jules goes with George Kittle. I have huge problems with that as I would have taken him with one of my next
39:32two picks, but I will not do that anymore.
39:35Jason, you're on the clock. So, a couple of years ago, and I would say this is like six years ago, we
39:43talked about it, we put out articles about it, what a cheat code drafting year two wide receivers was.
39:49No matter how, they just never moved up ADP enough and like half a decade ago.
39:55Until last year. Well, that's, it was the worst thing ever.
39:59The actual, it's not just last year, it's the last couple years, second year wide receivers have not really returned on their
40:07value the way that they used to and it's, part of that's ADP, part of that's maybe the progression of the actual
40:14players, but what we've seen recently is that third year wide receivers are the ones that are actually surprisingly hitting and so
40:22I'm gonna, I mean, I know, look, I'm just scooping up every guard, every player that like, I don't want Rome, he's
40:30not gonna be good, oh, Mike Evans is old.
40:33Marvin Harrison Jr., welcome to the club. All I need is Rome or Marv, one of these two top 10 third year
40:41wide receivers who should and could be the leader of their team to hit and then my team is loaded if either
40:48one of them, if both of them hit, then I'm ecstatic.
40:52All right. No one, I mean, it was like, no one's willing to take a third punch in the face from Marv like Jason Moore.
41:01I will, I'll take it. So you took Marv, Brooksy took Jadarian Price, that's a tremendous value.
41:07Kyle takes DJ Moore, Kyle seems to be the most willing to, to see the potential upside for DJ Moore of, of our group.
41:15I refuse to see it. Um, and it, it, it definitely feels like, oh, I could be wrong.
41:22Honestly, I thought about taking DJ Moore here because I have Josh Allen.
41:26Like, hey, if DJ Moore comes through, take that stack.
41:30I just really don't believe it. So I'm not going to do it.
41:34This is a, this is a draft where I'm just taking things more on, on what I, I believe will happen.
41:42So DJ Moore goes, Alec Pierce goes to pop, but Josh, Betts, oh, I was sweating on Betts's pick for a little
41:49bit because I, I was eyeing Harold Fannin that entire run.
41:53Yeah. Uh, hate to hate everything about his situation, except for the fact that he's very good and he can be the,
42:01he, he could be the number one target for Cleveland with, while we're, we're sorting it, like Casey Concepcion and Boston first and second round picks for Cleveland.
42:11They're getting really good press over the off season.
42:14I just saw another blurb like, well, hold on.
42:17At least for the beginning of the year, Jerry Judy will still be the number one wide receiver, which is what I say.
42:25It's what I say to that. But Harold Fannin could end up being the guy I saw a sweat in Jay.
42:33Yeah. And then he takes DK Metcalf and so you have DK Mike calf.
42:38You have to, you were so happy. I was so happy.
42:41Yeah. I was so happy to not only see my guy come through, but a guy who I will just won't.
42:49I'm not. Yeah. You would never, I think it would be the 11th round and you'd be like, be like, no, no, thank you.
42:57Yeah. You'd be like, give me a Stefan digs.
43:00So, uh, if the, the turns, they still have their, their tight ends.
43:05If they want to take, uh, another guy, then go ahead.
43:09But the, I will take the player who I think I've talked about more than anyone in this.
43:15It's an off season. I'll take JK Dobbins here.
43:18Starting quarter or running back for the Broncos. Dobbins is like, running backs really deplete quickly.
43:24And once all of the main starters are gone, like we, we took in a couple of rounds ago, the, the Henderson,
43:32Montgomery, Judkins, we kind of, uh, Tyler Warren, we scooped up like the last of all of it.
43:38And then way later in a draft usually is just Dobbins sitting there as like the last great pick at running back.
43:46And it's one of those like every round you gotta be sweating.
43:50If you, if you're really weak at running back or you went elsewhere and you, you know, you went here or RB,
43:58I just watch him in drafts and go, man, I hope he gets to me.
44:03It was a great pick. Wait, Betts, did you mean to take DK Metcalf?
44:08I guess you're probably, he said, no. Who are you going to take, Betts?
44:13That's funny. Who are you going to take? The world has to know.
44:17He said Metcalf was a Oh, you were going to take Fanon?
44:22Fanon? What a loser. Oh, man. Hold on, hold on.
44:25Harold Fanon, thank you. Oh, You fat thumped DK Metcalf?
44:29Man, lose some weight, Betts. Why don't you go run another Iron Man?
44:33Hey, do a full Iron Man. Yeah, do a full one.
44:37You did a half Iron Man. Oh, man. You're half, half a man.
44:42Okay, so I took to office. I hope people understand what an Iron Man is because there's nothing greater than denigrating an
44:49accomplishment like running a half Iron Man. It feels so good to make fun of doing something that was just half the half.
44:57Yeah, I shout at you covered in chips laying on my couch with my shirt riding and my tummy hanging out.
45:05I gotta unbutton that. Do a full one, you loser.
45:08Okay, so I took Dobbins, then it went Chuba Hubbard and Makai Lemon to close out the round.
45:15The Falcon takes Jackson Dart as his quarterback. Don't mind that there.
45:19Jordan Addison goes to Al. I took, I sprinted to the podium and I took Harold Fannin.
45:25Betts takes Tony Pollard. Oh, DK Metcalf followed up by Tony Pollard.
45:29He's taking all your favorites, Mike. Dude, Matthew, get some help.
45:33Yeah. It's okay, man. Go outside, get some sun on your face.
45:37Good Lord. Papa Josh takes Jonathan Brooks. Josh Downs to Kyle.
45:41Brooksy takes Jerry Rice, a.k.a. Michael Wilson of the Arizona Cardinals.
45:45Jason, you are on the clock. This is so weird.
45:48It's gonna happen again. It happened in the last mock draft.
45:52At six o'clock this morning. In the a.m.? The a.m.
45:56Six, 19 a.m. to be precise. I, uh, yeah, Kyle says it was early.
46:01I texted Kyle because I just was thinking about this player and I was like, Kyle, what's, give me the ADP for
46:08the last three years for Sam Laporta because I, I spent a lot of this off season talking about how, what a bad pick Laporta is.
46:17Yeah, you have. And I, and I, I really believed it and meant it because Sam Laporta two years ago was in the third round.
46:26So last year, Sam Laporta was in the fifth round and to start this off season, Sam Laporta was always the fifth tight end off the board.
46:36He was always the fifth tight end off the board.
46:39It was the big four and then Laporta was like the next man up.
46:44It's not happening that way anymore. It's really not.
46:47Now you're talking about I mean, look at this draft.
46:51You've had Tucker Craft, George Kittle and Harold Fannin go off the board.
46:55We're in the ninth round at that point. I, I think, you know, Laporta is in a situation for a team, has
47:03the talent, has the touchdown opportunities where he probably should be the fifth tight end off the board.
47:09That's where I don't want to take him because if he's the fifth tight end off the board and I'm giving up
47:17a Roma Dunes or a Judkins to take him, I'm not going to.
47:22But right now what I'm giving up, you know, if I'm looking, you know, I'm looking at the wide receivers and it's
47:29Ricky Pearsall, Chris Cowan, Jacoby Myers, like, you know, some of them can come through but I'm not excited about them.
47:37So I really do think Sam Laporta's gone from a player that Oh, the turd emojis are flying.
47:43I'm sure I could never guess who that would be.
47:47What? Who has the turd toilet? Yeah, that's the foul.
47:50What time did you wake up this? About six in the morning.
47:54Okay, so 6 a.m. is Rabbi's foggy room. I woke up at 6.10.
47:59I went to the- So nine minutes? After waking up, you're like, you know what?
48:04That's Sam Laporta. It was actually- His ADP's all right.
48:08It was actually five minutes. The answer came at 6.19.
48:11It was 6.15 when I sent the message. I can tell you by morning.
48:16I woke up. I went to the bathroom. I woke up this morning.
48:21Think about Laporta. I peed sitting down as, you know, I will do in the morning.
48:26Yeah, you can rest. Every time. And then while I'm scrolling on my phone with my morning pee, I was thinking fantasy football.
48:34That's what I do. And they're like, you know what?
48:38Sam Laporta is like- He's a- He is a good player in a good situation.
48:43You were doing the Laporta potty. Oh my goodness.
48:46I was literally doing the Laporta potty. Oh man.
48:49And so, it came to fruition. I think, you know, if he's at the ninth round, that's a- All right.
48:56I'll go so far as to say it's a great player.
49:00After Laporta, Jules takes huge baby Jake. Cortland Sutton to finish the ninth.
49:05He opens the tenth with Kyle Pitts. Disgusting. You gotta take somebody, I guess.
49:10Julia takes Dak as her quarterback. Jason, you're back up.
49:13We have three picks left. Three picks left. I'm looking at my roster.
49:18I've got three running backs in Jonathan Taylor, Ashton Gentey, Quinch on Judkins.
49:22Really happy there. My wide receivers, I started later, but I like them in Garrett Wilson, Mike Evans, Robo Doonsay, and Marvin Harrison.
49:31They're not as strong. I don't have like the elite, elite, you know, Puka Nakua, Jamar Chase, JSN type of player.
49:38So, I think I need to take more shots at wide receiver.
49:42And when I'm taking shots at wide receiver, it's different, different ways to think about it, right?
49:48Like, Michael Pittman is out there. I like Michael Pittman.
49:52I think he leads the team in targets. He's going to be short to the line of scrimmage, not high upside.
49:59Aaron Rodgers is not going to throw a ton of touchdowns.
50:03So, I don't know that he fits my mold of like...
50:07Michael Pittman, higher, lower than 8.1 yards per catch.
50:10I'll go higher. Okay. You could have made that a little...
50:14I think he's... I was trying to find a number that's low but not comically low.
50:19Right. I think if you gave me like 9.5, that'd be a tough line.
50:24Okay. So, I'm really looking now. I'm not looking at players that have a good baseline.
50:30Like, Jacoby Myers, good player. Wandale Robinson, good player.
50:33But I don't think they can break out and be something special.
50:37So, when I'm looking at someone that could break out and be something special, I am really looking at young players.
50:45Casey Concepcion. Sure. I'm looking at players whose opportunity and past have shown...
50:49Like, Jaden Reed. Jaden Reed with the departure of Romeo Dobbs.
50:53The fact that he has been really good on the field before.
50:57I'm just hoping he gets more involved. And then, of course, you could take Matthew Golden.
51:03I'm going to take one of those two. So, let's talk about that.
51:07Matthew Golden and Jaden Reed. Matthew Golden will be on the field in two wide receiver sets.
51:13Jaden Reed is better than Matthew Golden. So, how am I supposed to interpret that?
51:19the most difficult thing for Green Bay receivers over the last couple years has been the overall utilization of getting guys in
51:26certain roles, really heavily rotating your crew. So, I feel like, I feel like, now that they've cleared house, I think it
51:34will be mostly Watson and Matthew Golden on the field.
51:38I agree with you. I think it will be mostly Watson and Golden on the field.
51:43I still think that Jaden Reed can break out and Matthew Golden can break out.
51:49However, I think there's a good chance that Matthew Golden pick is lighting it on fire.
51:54I think it just might not be good and it could be lighting it on fire.
52:00I don't think Jaden Reed is lighting it on fire.
52:03And my team could just use another, like maybe he's not the best, but he's usable.
52:09Great. But I do think that he has the talent potential, team opportunity, and vacated targets where he could step up and be special.
52:17So, you went with Jaden Reed. Kyle Monongai went next to Brooks.
52:22I don't, that's great, actually. Monongai in the 10th?
52:25I think Monongai, you know, I'm very in on DeAndre Swift, but you have to admit what the real numbers were.
52:32They were, it was a split by the end.
52:35I just prefer DeAndre Swift with the juice and the pass catching.
52:39Decepcion to Kyle, Papa Josh, Chris Godwin, I think that's a sensational pick.
52:44We got news per, or I should, via the Netflix quarterback show that Baker got hurt in like week two.
52:51Kyle, if you could track down exactly what he, what the injury that they've said that they were, that he was suffering
52:59from or bets if you've got it. MCL and PCL sprains, that's what it was, Betsy?
53:04So like, Baker was very hurt and Baker, unfortunately, how tough he is, which this is the exact same thing happened in Cleveland.
53:12Baker played through so much injury instead of taking the time off to heal that he had to, they kicked him out
53:20of Cleveland because his play got so bad because he was so hurt.
53:25Two years ago, you know, three quarters of the way through the season, Baker Mayfield is getting MVP chance from the stadium.
53:33Last year, yes, he lost Liam Cohen, but he just, he looked real, real bad.
53:38Well, from week two on, he was dealing with some, some very severe injuries.
53:43The bucks bouncing back into the, that's all, you know, that's a buka and everything too.
53:48But Chris Godwin from reports of the off season, he's going to be in the slot.
53:54He might go right back into being like, you might get one more vintage year of Chris Godwin was my entire diet.
54:02I think, I think you could. Obviously, he's much older, not as explosive coming off, you know, the injury.
54:08So, yeah, I mean, the opportunity is there for him with Mike Evans gone and we've seen him do it.
54:15We know that one of the best predictors of future success is past success.
54:20So, I am going to look at a player here who last year he opened the year with 108 yards, followed by
54:2856, followed by 117 yards, and then gets hurt.
54:31Misses a bunch of games, but then comes back and he closes the season with 6 for 96 and 5 for 85.
54:39He has not been talked about very much on this show, but I'm opening my heart a little bit to Ricky Pearsall,
54:47former first round pick for the San Francisco 49ers.
54:50I mean, his, you know, Mike Evans, there's no chance I would not have taken Ricky Pearsall over Jaden Reed if I didn't have Mike Evans.
54:59Oh, okay, well there you go. I mean, at this point in a draft, that is a really good pick, a former
55:07number one, a former first round wide receiver for a team that desperately needs someone who has shown in small blips that
55:14he was good but just got injured. And, unfortunately, he has a pretty good bit on the show, which is more of a derogatory Ricky Mouse.
55:23Yeah. Hey, everybody. It's me, Ricky. Oh, boy. It doesn't help things.
55:28It doesn't help me have a positive association with that.
55:31But I think we need to at least be open to Ricky.
55:35Owl takes Michael Pittman. Falcon takes RJ Harvey. Yeah.
55:39What have we done? I mean, I don't think he'll go.
55:42What have we done to RJ Harvey? I don't think he'll go this slow everywhere else.
55:48So we talk about we do these mock drafts with all humans so that we can get realistic drafts.
55:55However, that means that the people we have in here, they're part of our crew.
56:00They're part of our They're part of our bubble.
56:03And so the anti RJ Harvey talk has just infected everyone here.
56:07I think in your average draft, RJ Harvey will go much, much higher.
56:12And so Harvey goes then followed by Matthew Golden, followed by Rico Dowdle to Owl, which I think that's a great pick as well.
56:20I am back on the clock. We are now at the time of the draft where I need to take a running
56:28back either from Minnesota or from Washington. And they're all there.
56:32That's how wild. Nebulous those situations are, yeah. So Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason from Minnesota and then Bill and Rashad White from the Washington Manders.
56:41I don't know fully what to make of the Minnesota situation.
56:45I felt like it was Aaron Jones. Then there was some news online that maybe it's more Jordan Mason.
56:52Then that news kind of got watered down of that's not really what the reporter was trying to get across.
56:59So at least for now because of the pass catching I'll go with Aaron Jones here at the 11-03.
57:05That puts Betts on the clock. His last couple picks with DK Metcalf, Tony Pollard, Blake Corum.
57:11He takes Kenny Gainwell. Papa Josh goes Bill. Kyle takes Rashad White.
57:16So the Washington guys go back to back. Brooksy takes Wandale Robinson at the 11-07.
57:21Jason, you're back on the clock. Yeah, so I'm probably sitting here because I've got Laporta and I've got Josh Allen.
57:28I'm not really looking even though there's great options.
57:31I mean, Justin Herbert, Trevor Lawrence sitting there. That's amazing to just, I mean, this is part of why when people are
57:39like, you know, the reason I take Josh Allen is because if you're average, if you're just middle of the pack at
57:47quarterback, then you could just stream off the waivers.
57:50If Justin Herbert finishes this draft on waivers, you're fine.
57:53You have to have the elite of the elite.
57:57Arande Gadsden is sitting there as like a flyer, high-end tight end, but with Laporta and Josh Allen, I don't think I'm
58:04going to do that, which means I'm going to go with a running back and a wide receiver to finish this.
58:12I've got two running backs that I like. One of them, there is no way he will go before I get him because it is disgusting.
58:21Oh, boy. It is disgustingly gross. Disgustingly disgusting. So I'm going to look at the wide receiver position one last time and
58:29I'm going to scroll down through and look for high upside picks.
58:33And here at the end of the draft, here's the names that would stick out to me as far as could surprise be high upside.
58:42Denzel Boston, a rookie. Travis Hunter, obviously the number two pick last year.
58:46Omar Cooper, a first round pick this year. Tyree Kill sitting out there, but I'm going to take a guy where I
58:54think the opportunity is a little bit. Just to fill in, don't forget about Steph Diggs and Keenan Allen.
59:01I think both of those guys will have a team here in the next couple weeks.
59:06Keenan is a great pick. I don't know if Steph Diggs is getting more stuff in the news right now.
59:13I feel like I don't know if a team is going to want to play with Diggs.
59:19I do think Keenan Allen plays. Did he have 1,000 yards last year?
59:24Yes, he did. Off of his injury? I'm going to take another rookie, Antonio Williams, rookie wide receiver.
59:30That would have been my last pick. For the commanders.
59:34It's right now with Brandon Ayuk going insane, it's basically Terry McLaurin and they need someone.
59:39They've got a high draft pick, Antonio Williams. The opportunity is there, so I'll swing the fences on him.
59:46Jaden Higgins and Jacoby Myers close the 11th. The 12th opens with Charbonnet.
59:50That's not a bad pick in the 12th room right on your IR.
59:55Keaton Mitchell goes to Jewel's team, the backup running back for the Chargers.
60:00I think he should be drafted. I told you I had two running backs.
60:04One would certainly get back to me because he's disgusting, but the other one also got back to me.
60:11I'm going to take Jordan Mason. Jordan Mason could be the starter.
60:15You took Aaron Jones last round. We don't know.
60:18TBD, but the opportunity of a good offense or at least a good offensively coached team with good weapons.
60:25The disgusting running back. Kyborg just took him. Isaiah Pacheco.
60:29You are right. But here's the thing. David Montgomery I know they want to give the ball to Gibbs more.
60:36They do. But they can't give him what David Montgomery had.
60:40I mean, David Montgomery had like 250 touches. There is a ton of secondary work here.
60:45And when I look at their depth chart, it's just no one else.
60:50It's like, I forget his name. Valco. I don't even remember the other.
60:54I was tuned out, so I don't even know.
60:57The Lions depth chart at running back. I mean, there's just not much behind Isaiah Pacheco.
61:03So should Gibbs go down, Pacheco would be, you know, basically, yeah, that's why I don't remember.
61:09Sione Vacky. Shoney. Shoney. Okay. I don't know how to say his name.
61:14I apologize. But when you're, you know, third string on a depth chart, I don't always know how to pronounce your name when it's spelled like that.
61:23Oh, we do have some breaking news. Okay. Betts is sharing this just in.
61:28The Saints and Alvin Camara have agreed to a restructured contract to keep him.
61:33This is just them kicking some contract further down the road.
61:37They'll cut him after this year. But that means they keep him this year.
61:42It's Rumbelaya is the guy. Yeah, I mean, yes.
61:45The reason I'm booing is because I've got Rumbelaya in our main dynasty league.
61:50And I think he would be very good without Alvin Camara there.
61:54But Alvin Camara, if he's there, he's going to take work.
61:58He's going to take passing work. And that just really sucks for the upside.
62:03So you went Jordan Mason. Crod goes to Brooks Pacheco.
62:06Papa Josh says Justin Herbert, Trevor Lawrence. Need the stack.
62:10Jared. He takes Jared Goff. Josh. Give me that stack, baby.
62:14Over Josh. The stack is fun. The stack is something that you do want to have.
62:19You want the variance. You want the upside. But Trevor Lawrence is there.
62:24I was just going by the UDK, man. You guys have Jared Goff one spot above.
62:29Okay, but you realize that Trevor Lawrence would have been giving you a stack as well, right?
62:35Okay, I'm just saying. You could have had a stack.
62:39I'll stream them. I mean, the truth is those quarterbacks will be on waivers.
62:44What are you even talking about? Good grief. All right, so I'm on the clock here.
62:49Let's see. We'll just go look at the rookies.
62:53So Boston's there, Omar Cooper. Man, the rookie wide receivers are just unfortunately not very exciting to me.
62:59Do you have anyone in that list, Jay, that of after Boston, of Omar Cooper, Jacoby Lane, Zachary Branch, Jeremy Bernard?
63:06Where are you with Ted Hurst? I mean, I like Ted Hurst.
63:11I think that he has the opportunity to come into that Mike Evans role.
63:15So he would be high up on my list.
63:19Chris Bell, a former projected first round wide receiver who got injured and now he is basically certainly able to be the
63:26one for the Dolphins who have no one to compete.
63:30Dijon Stribling, although you already took your shot in Ricky Pearsall.
63:34And then of course, Omar Cooper. I didn't, man, I really did not think that he deserved to be a first round
63:41pick, but he was a first round pick. He is very explosive.
63:46Do you put anything into the Adonai Mitchell chatter for the Jets?
63:50I think Adonai Mitchell's a better wide receiver than Omar Cooper.
63:54And then they have Sadiq. And then obviously Garrett Wilson's taking most of them.
63:59So there's a reason Omar Cooper's sitting here. The last name I would throw out there from the rookies is Zachariah Branch.
64:06A little tiny jitterbug. Third rounder, I think, by the Falcons.
64:10I don't remember what round, but he's on the Falcons.
64:14He was a screen warrior, you know, like a behind-the-line scrimmage guy.
64:18But he reminded me, and there's not very many people that can remind you of Tyreek Hill.
64:24And remember, Tyreek Hill in his rookie year, he was built stronger, but Tyreek Hill in dynasty leagues was on waivers.
64:31So he's not a guy that came in super highly touted.
64:35And, you know, it's like Kyle Pitts, Drake London, and they need someone.
64:40So I think he'll have the opportunity to show he's special if he's special.
64:45Those are the only names that I see of the rookies.
64:49All right. Jay, run your team for the people.
64:52All right. My team, I've got my onesies of Josh Allen and Sam Laporta again.
64:57Running backs, Jonathan Taylor, Ashton Genti, Quinshawn Judkins, and Jordan Mason, a four-pack there.
65:02And then at wide receiver in this three-wide full PPR, Garrett Wilson, Mike Evans, Roma Dunze, Marvin Harrison, Jr., Jaden Reed, and Antonio Williams took the shotgun approach.
65:12Running back, I got Jameer. I went hero RB with Jameer Gibbs, but Henderson fell to me in the seventh.
65:19So I got Gibbs, Hendo, JK Dobbins, and Aaron Jones are my four-pack.
65:23The wide receiver, I got George, Rasheed Rice, Zay Flowers, Malik Neighbors, Ricky Pearsall, and then I took Stefan Diggs as just the flyer with my last pick.
65:33Joey B. Joe Burrow is my quarterback, and Harold Fannin is going to round out my team at the tight end position.
65:41That is going to do it. Everyone, thank you so much for listening.
