1:56

gone on Buddy Ah, things are things

1:59

are good. I'm about to go

2:01

on vacation. I'm annoyed that visit that moment

2:03

for me where it's like this is the

2:05

last to related thing that I have to

2:07

do. A full have to do is my

2:09

pleasure to do before I go on vacation.

2:11

So I'm feelin, I'm feeling loose, I'm feeling

2:13

good. We got a mock draft to talk

2:15

about. What's more exciting than that. Good.

2:18

Times. Not many

2:20

more things exciting than a mock draft. This

2:22

is not a last thing I have to

2:24

do before or should I say get to

2:26

do before going on vacation myself. I saw

2:28

the few more. Boxes. To check

2:30

but I also be on vacation next week

2:32

and on it's actually my wife and Iraqi

2:35

finally taking our honeymoon Andy because life has

2:37

don't like this and curveballs that it's the

2:39

last year's we never actually got to take

2:41

it so I'm very exciting times I have

2:44

not taken like a real deal. Through

2:47

vacation. In.

2:49

I don't know like five years and

2:52

I mean I'm talking like I'm going

2:54

to be like your former boy just

2:56

in fields you know, like deleting apps

2:58

off my phone. I'm following people are

3:00

like I'm looking forward to being very

3:02

very very unreachable. The yes we do

3:05

have some or business to attend to

3:07

here and I you know like there

3:09

are obviously I'm ancient, I'm very old

3:11

and the i'm. That. That

3:13

the thing that separates me from you as

3:15

I was in the workforce for like. A

3:18

year, maybe two years when there was no

3:20

expectation when you went on vacation that you

3:22

could be reachable by any means. Riot like

3:25

there was no. like nobody. like I know

3:27

I'm going on vacation, but I will have

3:29

the laptop and you know I've got a

3:31

phone on me all the time. And like

3:33

if they need to reach out to me,

3:35

they can reach out to me. The mance.

3:38

Those were like the couple of occasions that

3:40

my wife and I were actually able to

3:42

take where we were just totally disconnected and

3:44

there was, even if my employer had wanted

3:46

to contact me that lock. There's. No, there's

3:48

no way they would have been able to. I

3:50

didn't leave the name of my hotel with a

3:52

message you had to do back then. And as

3:54

for can awesome. Could.

3:56

You imagine? Ah, like. Jay.

4:00

Collin or any these people that are.

4:02

We. Are way too reachable for and

4:05

just call and like your hotel room.

4:07

and nineteen seventy, whatever. And the last

4:09

eyes mister is mister Barons there we

4:11

need a breaking news reaction to the

4:13

say Jones visiting the Cowboys or Us

4:15

Tyler Boyd signing with the Tennessee Titans

4:17

in the middle of May. Could you?

4:19

Could you imagine Andy? Thankfully we don't

4:21

live in that world. The I I'm

4:23

I'm fantasizing that I'm going to be

4:25

completely unreachable next week, when when when

4:28

I'm out on on this honeymoon. But.

4:30

Probably. Not gonna happen. Polio be somewhat reachable.

4:33

Pry will bring you. I mean, I'll bring

4:35

a laptop some like I'm watching movies on

4:37

the on the plane and then on. Unfortunately,

4:39

I'm sure I'll be fixing a website issue

4:41

or something like that. In. The middle

4:43

of my honeymoon in my of my pledge to

4:45

you is that I will not see see you on

4:47

any so I will not. Oh and and and hey

4:49

let's was like. Hey take on

4:52

that right now cause right back at your

4:54

power you will not hear from me next

4:56

week. That as a promise but. When.

4:58

We also promised is a banger of

5:00

a podcast. It exits and he mentioned

5:03

we're going to be recapping our first

5:05

Yahoo Fantasy staff mock draft of the

5:07

Twenty Twenty Four. Nfl season.

5:09

Man, I mean the draft is over. The

5:11

teams are said. I mean we. We do

5:14

have some little minor clean up signings transactions

5:16

here and there, but the the board is

5:18

largely set and it's time to start drafting.

5:20

Or people are drafting. right now. the sick

5:22

o's' are drafting or baseball teams right now.

5:24

Rookie draft are happening. but. Really?

5:26

It's prep for redress. the than

5:28

from now until August. The real

5:31

hard core fantasy, you know? Guys.

5:33

And gals are are prep and right now and that's

5:36

what that that's of. The people listen to this podcast

5:38

and we love you and we thank you so. Andy

5:41

Let's recap this mock draft. That.

5:43

We did listen set that the ground

5:45

rules for it. It was a

5:47

ten team league. One. Start

5:49

one quarterback so I hear ya. All

5:51

you guys are are I our economy?

5:53

I'm a basic row for doing this

5:55

or whatever. And and listen to it

5:57

is what it is. Ten Team one

5:59

quarterback. I get it there. The super

6:01

flex hard o's' are screaming at us

6:03

are the fourteen teamers are admonishing us.

6:05

There's a lot a weeping and gnashing

6:07

of teeth, but that's what we did.

6:10

These. Were the participants? Ah,

6:12

It was any barons myself.

6:15

Ah, Aaron from our social

6:17

team Dalton.on Dan Harris. Fantasy.

6:20

Football I producer Kate Masood one of

6:22

our contributors here Mocha C O, who's

6:24

I? the enforcer of the Fantasy editorial

6:26

team I call and producer calm and

6:28

was also in on this a big

6:31

protests in in this was produce a

6:33

college or Jorge Martine who does some

6:35

writing for us and Scotty now ski

6:37

as well. So ten sorry folks here

6:39

for a participating in this exercise. Andy.

6:42

It's. A it you know it's it's

6:44

funny. You mention the hardcore guys you're

6:46

like why isn't the Super Flex? Why

6:48

isn't this sixteen teams and I'd like.

6:51

I appreciate that those are the people

6:53

who are online and on social platforms

6:55

right now and and wanna talk fantasy

6:57

football while like every other sport as

6:59

is going on like we appreciate you

7:01

for sure. And

7:04

that's probably like and I know this

7:06

is when their voices probably amplified most

7:08

because as we get into like August.

7:11

Unfortunately, Like the dominant format

7:13

in fantasy football still happens to be like

7:15

it everybody sort of default game or it's

7:17

ten or twelve teams and it's one quarterback

7:19

and there's just one flax and everybody's team

7:22

is african All star roster right and like

7:24

so I am sorry about that but I

7:26

I think we still I think we the

7:28

for the most part we have there's they

7:30

may not be in exactly the right order

7:33

but I think in the A rounds that

7:35

we did in this mock we we have

7:37

basically the right collection of names. right?

7:40

Dubner thing we didn't we do a rounds Yorkers

7:42

and with you really need assists. The Us

7:44

take you know, a kicker and sitting around

7:46

I don't necessarily think so. I were hitting

7:48

on the most important picks here in Indiana.

7:50

Look, I. I love

7:53

you Sick of okay say all time. I'll

7:55

show you guys, Keep the lights on! Okay,

7:57

you don't keep me employed for twelve months

7:59

out of your own. We talking about this

8:02

game and I'm not talking about baseball and

8:04

hockey like humans. God new freak shows over

8:06

there I am. I'm talking about football Three

8:09

Sixty Five and I thank you sicko surfer

8:11

swimming continental your lungs. But I also love

8:13

the people who are just in the traditional.

8:16

And. Twelve team redraft leagues and and by

8:18

the way a lot of those the were

8:20

private ones reading a the stuff on the

8:22

website which why we did it this way

8:24

so less waste our time and a you

8:26

were responsible for writing up. The.

8:28

Mock Draft The recaps or lot of

8:30

this is gonna be sorted driven by

8:32

you and your reactions here. Let's start

8:34

with the first round here. nothing too

8:37

crazy. At the top of the draft

8:39

were aaron. Took Christian Mccaffrey,

8:41

but you're intrigued. Started right away

8:43

at the second overall pick. where

8:45

don't dell dawn? Took New York

8:47

Jets running back Breeze Hall. Andy

8:49

your thoughts. Yeah. My

8:51

first thought was that this is

8:54

just a classic Dalton Delle Donne

8:56

look at me sort of. So

8:58

effects Gray Zone make in the

9:01

whole thing about himself like he

9:03

does That note noted showboat or.dot

9:05

on Yeah, yeah. Let.

9:08

The So like brief I'll obviously that is

9:11

a first round pick. I do think like

9:13

who goes number two is an interesting conversation

9:15

and fantasy. This you're right because you can.

9:17

You can certainly make the argument for Cd

9:19

Lamb. You can make the argument for Tyree

9:22

Kill I'm Eat Like I don't think it's

9:24

perfectly clear that Bree saw his thus second

9:26

running back after Christian Mccaffrey. I do think

9:28

it's clear that he belongs in the first

9:31

round and there's a group there with Taylor

9:33

and Be John and I'm certainly hall where

9:35

like eat you can have the you can

9:37

have the conversation. I think I think

9:40

call his arm and interesting player to

9:42

talk about because his. And.

9:44

And you know this obviously because you are riding Breeze

9:46

all enough to him for leagues where he led you

9:48

to titles right Lake County to me Yes great place

9:51

out to you that was mostly will buy you like

9:53

how much of it was man harman how much of

9:55

it was Breeze all de wever know is that I'm

9:57

from I I I can't your partner's it had it's

9:59

I. Take my credit, I've never

10:01

ever feel like you know how

10:03

weird his season got at the

10:05

end and I think there's a

10:07

conversation about whether that kim how

10:09

that will translates you. Aaron

10:11

Rodgers being at quarterback and that twenty

10:14

twenty four Jets, right? Because he finishes

10:16

his year with like a thirty nine

10:18

touch game at thirty seven carries in

10:20

his final game and huge yardage total

10:22

on and off they're trying to get

10:25

him to a thousand yards. I'm not

10:27

sure what the story there was. He

10:29

seemed to short whatever great season he

10:31

also had like those Trevor Simeon Weeks

10:33

arm. He's just peppered with targets. Sixteen

10:36

targets, Nine targets. on the team. Boil

10:38

weeks weren't weren't two different, right? And

10:40

so now we're coming. Into a C N

10:42

and like that that was awesome and then breeze

10:44

all finishes as a you know I think get

10:46

all the hard course. know this already. Led

10:49

led the position and targets for the

10:52

position receptions and receiving yardage. You.

10:54

Know is is he can be the centerpiece

10:56

of and Aaron Rodgers lead to passing attack.

10:58

I think that's it. I think that's more

11:01

interesting conversation because they obviously they at Williams

11:03

they you know they they draft a rookie

11:05

that they're excited about Correlate if you know

11:07

they've they've got Year Wilson who deserves one

11:09

hundred and sixty target. So. I

11:12

think Bruce all can get there in a better

11:14

ah sense, right? I think he can earn this

11:16

draft spot. I just I just think he's gonna

11:18

deliver numbers. probably in a different way. But

11:21

he's A. He's an interesting conversation starter. And. Yeah.

11:25

My initial reaction was going to be i'm

11:27

willing to sacrifice a few Catches are targets

11:29

and are you know if more touchdowns be

11:32

Did score nine touchdowns last year and in

11:34

a in a really broken off and switch

11:36

I did you can say like okay well

11:38

how in an Aaron Rodgers off and how

11:41

many touchdowns gonna score you know keep was

11:43

closer to eleven twelve. I think

11:45

that's possible to use of really dynamic

11:47

player, which is an important crux of

11:49

this conversation. like I think we love

11:52

the player. Resolved Now. Maybe.

11:54

This is. Because

11:57

you brought up the passing work in an overall a

11:59

guy thing, He's. The be better as a runner

12:01

I do, you can be more effective as a

12:03

runner in in the seat. The second season removed

12:05

from the A C L S's I am generally

12:07

that's how he's running backs work, but because you

12:09

brother Stephen work here. I

12:12

do think it would be a mistake

12:14

to remove too much receiving work from

12:16

Breeze, all like I think. Even

12:18

though they add Mike Williams he still

12:20

the second best I would say or

12:22

to set missing was dangerous pass catcher

12:25

on the team beyond beyond guerre wilson

12:27

because we don't really know we're going

12:29

to get for Mike Williams and maybe

12:31

I'm galaxy braiding myself on this Andy

12:33

but it's may this is when we

12:35

should galaxy bring ourselves. Ah,

12:39

you know that you mention Malika Corley who

12:41

they do seem to be in love with.

12:43

The Jets social media team is literally tweeting

12:45

slow motion hi layer as I was out

12:47

of it. Ralph's on air and he's were

12:49

african. Screen route I was like are from

12:51

or I sniffed at we've jumped the shark.

12:53

Normally I'm okay with normal. I'm okay, we're

12:55

just having fun with you know, may or

12:57

whatever Ralph's on air. Highlights of I yeah

12:59

sometimes I roll my eyes on Twitter Something

13:01

that bothers? Yeah, we're we're we're jump the

13:03

shark it at that is a screen route.

13:05

My guy we it's and he's he's run

13:07

into steps like weekend we. Don't need to

13:10

slow modus one. Okay, I'm. So.

13:12

That that but the that's the type of

13:14

player mouth I call is going to be

13:17

there be a design targets type of guy.

13:19

I wonder if he's actually again me them

13:21

Galaxy brainless of anti but does Malik accurately

13:23

and of siphoning some of this receding work

13:26

away. From. Ah from Bree

13:28

saw because use for the most part with a

13:30

guy like Hall, you're having to designed these targets

13:32

for him to get to ninety five. Like not

13:34

all of those are going to be checked downs.

13:36

some of them will be, but not all of

13:38

them. Are those design Turks go away

13:40

from Breeze Hall and beyond? Malik has clearly

13:42

plate is because I. Think that's

13:44

a mistake. Yeah. No,

13:47

that's another part of their brief conversation is

13:49

that these weren't like unproductive targets. I mean

13:51

that the guys like the guy was averaging

13:53

almost eight yards per catch, rainy caught everything.

13:56

So on these these aren't like wasted target,

13:58

they're not. I'm not suggesting that at all.

14:00

I just don't think you know he just

14:02

had Lake is year with so oddly shaped

14:05

right? Any guess he gets almost a third

14:07

of his total yardage in the final three

14:09

games of the season which find they're gonna

14:11

come somewhere you have big week somewhere on.

14:13

and he he just you know that that

14:16

chunk of time with two quarterbacks who are

14:18

does not even gonna be part of the

14:20

equation. The sheer he gets he gets like

14:22

forty three of his catches in a six

14:25

week period. I don't know if it's gonna

14:27

look exactly like that. we haven't really seen.

14:30

Are you can argue that Aaron Rodgers hasn't

14:32

had a guy exactly like this before? Although

14:34

I think There and Zones is A is

14:36

a pretty dynamic receiving threat, we just haven't

14:39

seen him. You know, Aaron Rodgers has given

14:41

us a a vintage Alvin Kamara years and

14:43

given us a the and out of the

14:45

just a mock like an Austin Acl or

14:47

type monster receiving season out of a running

14:49

back. It could happen for breeze off I'm

14:52

I'm not like I don't, I don't actually

14:54

hit tech. I just more than anything I

14:56

just love like clowning Dalton.on and any opportunity.

14:58

give me to. Poke

15:01

and prod at ads choices the.makes and fancy

15:03

I'm gonna, I'm gonna take advantage of it.

15:05

I just think resolves one of those super

15:07

interesting, super interesting on a swing players interest.

15:11

The overall I'm I'm pretty cool don't make

15:13

him to pick here, ah, I would probably

15:15

personally go some of these receivers Adam him.

15:18

No. Arguments for me in terms of resource like

15:20

know rocket the rest the first round. Carry

15:22

Kill Pick Number three by Dan Harris.

15:25

Be. John Robinson goes to Kate. I

15:27

picked for. Most. Take

15:30

Cd Lamb. You. Take just

15:32

and Jefferson. Are. Easy hear your

15:34

thoughts on Jefferson with a rookie quarterback and

15:36

then right after that are you wanted to

15:38

highlight producer Collin. The. Seventh

15:40

pick overall takes to kinda

15:43

cool. So ah and he.

15:46

Just. Jumps and Pukanic who are these two picks

15:48

year. Yeah. Jefferson. First of

15:50

all, like he man, that guy played with

15:52

a after after the Kirk Cousins injury it

15:54

was. It was such a Rogues Gallery at

15:57

quarterback for the for the Vikings, he still

15:59

finishes with a thing then yards in ten

16:01

games. I'm which I think just underscores is

16:03

absolutely ridiculous talent when healthy I just there's

16:06

there's so few doubts for me with Justin

16:08

Jefferson. I actually really like i'm you know,

16:10

and that and I'm more. you sort of

16:13

die then on Jj Mccarthy. At least for

16:15

me, I'm I'm I'm pretty convinced that he

16:17

can support a couple of viable fantasy starters.

16:19

I don't know that Mccarthy himself will be

16:22

that guy, but I I I don't really

16:24

have many worries about how just In Jefferson

16:26

is going to perform. I think is as

16:29

good as it gets. Of the position.

16:31

Still like still suit, crazy young, still

16:33

in ascending flare. So no questions about

16:35

Jefferson. I thought, you know, I thought

16:38

Fuca. I mean obviously. Hookers coming off

16:40

one hundred catch, fourteen hundred yards season

16:42

as as good as any rookie has

16:45

ever been. Like

16:47

him. Ahead of Jamal, Chase to me

16:50

was kind of a wow moment. Him ahead

16:52

of Almond raw, same brown. kind of a

16:54

wow moment. You

16:56

know this will discuss some other

16:58

call and text producer com sat

17:00

as a him for making this

17:02

mock draft interesting. You

17:04

know itself a little out of the i'm I'm

17:07

not. I'm not sure whether I want to let

17:09

calling off the hook you know cause I think

17:11

he's the podcast producer like he could just be

17:13

doing this for team content which I would appreciate

17:16

him for. but I'm not a higher percent. Sure,

17:18

I want to let him off the hook. Some

17:20

disincentives com can't speak for himself. I'm just going

17:22

to say that and and I'm I'm not sure

17:24

whether or he does this for team content or

17:26

not. I'm just gonna leave that as at leave

17:29

that it they got there. I I will say

17:31

I'm I. I cannot. you know having a twitter

17:33

back and forth with Kate? And.

17:35

Ten am maybe I sideswiped call in just

17:37

a little bit in the conversation and he

17:39

jumped in and man calling already had like

17:42

he had like he'd gone into notes and

17:44

he'd he'd written up all of his all

17:46

of this picks in this draft and then

17:48

he hit me What like Izumi with a

17:50

twitter thread it was it The I these

17:52

are my these my talking points on all

17:54

of these texts. Here's why it was great

17:56

mining Cetus I'll have to a new calling

17:58

on twitter. Metro area

18:01

was just temporarily. Don't get out Cia obviously

18:03

Obviously he'll be instant block right after that

18:05

by our for now yeah I'll check out

18:07

on me to check that out. So he

18:09

was. He was fully prepared to defend all

18:11

these tax and again and again like cooker

18:13

is coming off it historic rookie season like

18:16

animal think it's I don't think it's crazy

18:18

out of sequence I guess I you know

18:20

it in my mind the that sort. You

18:22

know you're in the first round and everybody's

18:24

got a very high floor. I'm and so

18:26

we're We're not even really think about that

18:28

except needed a running backs. But it all

18:31

the receivers have very high floors. I'm I

18:33

guess I don't think of poo cause like

18:35

ninety ninth percentile outcome as being the same

18:37

as gym chases or Justin Jefferson's but you

18:39

could talk me into at he's coming off

18:42

a prayer. I

18:44

don't personally have a problem. who can the

18:46

first round? I mean, Atp

18:48

wise in early decimal Draftees: wide receiver

18:50

six He's the ninth overall player of

18:53

the board. ah. Yeah.

18:55

I'm not. I'm not too. I'm

18:57

not too concerned with him going in the

18:59

first round and like I think you get

19:02

dicey after him, right? Like I think. Aj.

19:04

Brown is is ninety ninth percentile com really

19:06

higher than Pukanic who at this point. I.

19:09

Use better a better player? probably.

19:11

But that's. Only because I've seen more

19:13

of a D Brown and I've seen of

19:16

Poo Gonna Go I think I could. at

19:18

the end of the season of Cuckoo continues

19:20

on a trajectory that he was on. I

19:22

think I could say that I I'm I'm

19:24

I'm there. In terms of those guys been

19:26

neck and neck. ah Veo And and I

19:28

have some of it's ecosystem questions about Philadelphia

19:30

Huge, a mere Gibbs sake on Barkley, Jonathan

19:32

Taylor I'm just thinking of Atp. Why not

19:34

guys? You as you mentioned Jason and same

19:36

brown will talk much easier in a second.

19:38

But. Like. These guys do. They

19:40

really have a higher ceiling than than Coogan. a

19:42

coup or maybe for Demir Gibbs. I think the

19:44

he does have some face melting upside, but there

19:46

are some clear downside there as well. Yeah.

19:49

I've gotten again I've got no quarrel with with

19:51

Fuca as am you know I I think in

19:53

a lot of the best ball drops that we

19:55

see we're talking you know, La Libert safer and

19:58

full ppr. He

20:00

you know if if you march a city

20:02

ceiling is a ceiling. Eighteen touchdowns,

20:05

Twenty touchdowns. think maybe right arm. I

20:07

just think that the best possible case

20:09

scenario for for Chase. To me, a little

20:11

little bit higher than Puco. and again, there's

20:13

some other receivers their what. We've already

20:15

seen them deliver multiple seasons that are as

20:17

good as what Puco just gave us. But

20:20

he's like he's in this club. He

20:22

this. Is this the right conversation for? Am

20:24

I don't? I don't mean to suggest

20:26

that Dumb said. it's like some yeah com

20:28

and made some much wilder picks in Cook

20:31

and a Killer so I don't. We

20:33

don't need to get bogged. Down in this one.

20:35

Odds March Eighth was where Does Your Thirteen

20:37

Last year he was were Super Five in

20:40

his rookie season and twenty twenty one Odyssey

20:42

Dell injuries in his second season. He is

20:44

a very fast inquiry. Was my pick right

20:46

after com to begin ago I took to

20:49

March eighth in the first round. Here he

20:51

is it just gives like he's. I.

20:53

Mean, he's was wide receiver five as a

20:55

rookie and I think that was still kind

20:58

of like his peak season. But man like

21:00

I just think about. And I've

21:02

said the salon I'm going to say in a lot

21:04

and lead up to the season so I am sorry.

21:06

or if you hear me repeat this or yard he

21:08

heard me repeat this. I feel like. You're.

21:11

March eighth is gonna have a season

21:13

like a career high in slot snaps

21:15

this year. Just you look at the

21:17

construction of that Bengals off and they

21:19

still have T. Higgins. They take your

21:21

main burton in the third round who

21:23

I guess could be a speed slot

21:25

receiver, but. When. You look at his

21:27

profile and reception perception. You look at what

21:29

he did it at Alabama last year. Excuse

21:31

a pure outside vertical receive and I i

21:33

think that site as a man coverage beater

21:35

that's what is going to be in the

21:37

Nfl. So in three receivers said. We.

21:39

Could see gym are chase you in a lot of like.

21:42

Need. Not going to be of. A seventy percent

21:44

slot player but he could do some Cd

21:46

lamb stop and like that's just gonna raise

21:49

his floor and his ceiling. So if I

21:51

had a bet on a guy that hasn't

21:53

been the number one receiver yet in fantasy

21:55

that could have could be that this year

21:58

if job road to stays healthy. Could

22:00

you again he was productive last season Was

22:02

your March eighth We go without Joe Burrow

22:04

if burrow stays healthy. If Burton is able

22:06

to establish himself is not a feature player

22:08

but the guy to can get on the

22:10

field in year one man I mean age

22:13

march eighth could easily a have just a

22:15

comma targets and again they could be. Higher.

22:18

Yield and Higher efficiency. Target is based

22:20

on where you know lineup. Yeah, that

22:22

really feels right when you say it

22:24

like a again not that he's gonna

22:26

turn into you know, ah, Curtis Samuel

22:28

or whatever. But But to eat like

22:30

the idea of Demar chase at somebody

22:32

who's like sixty percent outside, forty percent

22:34

in the slot some like like that

22:36

that be be really fun and it's

22:39

again it's It's hard for me to.

22:41

Start. Hard for me to imagine that to

22:44

marxist isn't gonna finish his career with like

22:46

at least one you know. Eighteen

22:48

Hundred and fifty yard season. Sixty now. Ridiculous.

22:50

Like sixteen eighteen. Such down total. He's just.

22:52

he's just that. He's just the that electric.

22:55

You think back to the best moments from

22:57

his rookie year like that that just all

22:59

seemed on the table for a minute. Still

23:01

seems on the table for now. First.

23:04

Round finishes up with Jorge taking on

23:06

Rossi Brown on who as I think

23:08

you price. If it was me I'd

23:10

probably take. I'm. On Rossi Brown

23:12

over Puco. but it's it's at least a

23:14

conversation or Jonathan Taylor was the last pic

23:17

by Scott Misek in the first round. To

23:19

them he moves around to. Scott. Takes

23:21

Garrett Wilson Demir Gibbs goes the

23:23

Jorge I took sake on bark

23:25

here. Then the real shocker of

23:27

round to belongs to produce or

23:29

Collin who takes Marvin Harrison Junior

23:31

with the fourth pic of the

23:33

second round. Andy your reaction to

23:35

Marvin Harrison Junior as a second

23:37

round pick. A never taken

23:39

a seventy F L A Nd I

23:41

haven't heard any second. Pickier. Okay,

23:43

some I won my one issue here and I

23:46

actually it. In a recap, I read that I

23:48

thought this was actually probably the sanest and shockey

23:50

as thing that Collin did. Everything else is crazier

23:52

than this. Place for

23:54

you can now when are we going to get to

23:56

the craziness? Be the way was. Continue cowards to it's

23:58

coming. Year I like. I

24:00

think if I think if there's anything here that

24:02

we can argue with, it's the fact that Eg

24:04

Brown was still on the board. like yeah, you

24:07

know there's some. There's some the in my mind

24:09

like totally plausible first round picks who are still

24:11

on the board here. Karen Williams is still there

24:13

and I get that he gets dinged by by

24:15

karma little bit. but man, that was Lds. Eighty

24:18

brown on the board coming off. Back.

24:20

To back fourteen hundred yard seasons, a

24:22

hundred catches last year. I'm like weekend

24:24

we can have our issues with the

24:27

the weight Eagles finished up last season

24:29

but man I'm a brown is like

24:31

us is not old yet he not

24:33

broken down and he's he's done it

24:35

again and again. Right leg and if.

24:38

If. Marvin Harrison finishes were year.

24:40

That's that approaches. What? Is now

24:42

the standard issue Aj Brown season. I

24:45

think you'd consider it a big win

24:47

right? But that said, I I do

24:49

things as the right round for Marvin

24:51

Harrison. am I think I'm proud. Be

24:53

some disagreement on that on that front

24:55

within maybe. Ah who? Fantasy crew. I

24:57

don't think that our think the piano

24:59

ski has a very I at all

25:01

but like you know he is he

25:03

is walking in to I'm assuming good

25:05

health. He's walking into like one hundred

25:07

and forty hundred and fifty targets which

25:09

is probably what it takes to get

25:11

into this round. I'm yeah, now he's

25:13

He's just as as. Polished and as complete

25:15

a receiving prospect as you can really ask

25:17

for, it's just a it's just a great

25:19

set up for him, so I don't think

25:21

it's difficult to imagine. And then you look

25:23

at some of the other second round receivers

25:25

here. I mean yeah, I think I think

25:28

I like him more than Nico Collins in

25:30

Twenty Twenty Four. I think I like them a

25:32

little bit more than Drake, London, and Twenty Twenty

25:34

Four I think I like I'm at least as

25:36

much as Chris a lot. and Twenty Twenty Four

25:39

so I don't think it's I don't think

25:41

it's a crazy round Forum Again, I would

25:43

I would take Brown, I think eighty. Brown is

25:45

still a first rounder. He falls to the second round

25:47

here, but other not, I don't have a huge prominent.

25:50

Yeah, I think you're immediately going to

25:52

see Marvin Harrison juniors rookie. You know

25:55

he. Never had never taken a

25:57

snap in the Nfl. That that

25:59

using age. Pretty poorly for people. Act

26:01

like you're only argument against the player.

26:03

ah I'm more so running backwards still

26:06

receivers deathly been that position of late

26:08

to you're going to just the hot.

26:11

Marvin. Harrison Junior second round. but I think really when

26:13

you start to stack em up at the only the only

26:15

one I'm with you as a D Brown that like I

26:17

think. It. Goes eighty brown

26:19

tear then into Marvin Harrison to the

26:22

i think Marvin Harrison isn't the same

26:24

bucket of. Like. A latte or

26:26

Nico Collins or Drake Lion in all of

26:28

these guys. Me: Maybe there's some running backs

26:30

like a Just if you want to build

26:32

your team that way right? We have current

26:34

Williams in this round. Have Derrick Henry miss

26:36

around. Maybe those guys go ahead of Marvin

26:39

Harrison and some of these receivers. or least

26:41

maybe they should but still like I think

26:43

he has the same floor ceiling combination as

26:45

those guys and Odyssey like when you stack

26:47

it up. You. You're right,

26:49

like very conservative projects in is just

26:51

like a one hundred thirty eight targets

26:53

for Marvin Harrison Junior. that's L conservative

26:55

and and that's like time, medium range

26:57

or outcomes which is what you'd safer

26:59

and alavi. and maybe it safer for

27:01

Nico. or maybe you'd save for drink

27:03

London. but there are some other questions

27:05

in those. Authentic certainly and in use

27:08

and it's more crowded than that, right?

27:10

So he I think when you really

27:12

just sit down and cause sack it

27:14

all together from a from an in

27:16

position standpoint, he. That this is

27:18

is t or whether you've you like him of top

27:20

of this tier cool if you if you didn't like

27:22

other god's sovereignty or that's fine but I don't think

27:24

it's actually that agreed to have a pick. Their.

27:27

There is a phenomenon that I think I

27:29

think maybe Collin was wrong vulnerable to. Here

27:31

are where there's like you know people wanna

27:34

like few people want to have shares of.

27:36

Like the next big thing I'm writing. this

27:38

is the we'd see this all the time.

27:40

It's enough for years and so I think

27:42

that like I think it's Harrison finishes his

27:45

rookie year and it's Sensation Off. By.

27:47

Which I mean like. Twelve.

27:49

Hundred fifty yards. Thirteen hundred yards. he

27:52

catches ninety passes. Yeah, now we're getting

27:54

we're getting seven or eight touchdowns. I

27:56

I think if you drafted in here

27:58

fourth pic the second round your like

28:00

hell yeah. that was a when I

28:03

totally called it. Well. It a

28:05

brown is probably gonna crush that right? Like eighty

28:07

browns probably going to be tapped by one hundred

28:09

and fifty two hundred yards. He's price is now

28:11

it's is. It's is a stronger candidate for ten

28:13

touchdowns I think he he's already given us honor

28:15

cast season like ah I don't know but you'd

28:17

still be really excited to get it from the

28:19

new guy and you're a little bit less excited

28:21

to get it from the guy who's done it

28:23

before. It's just good at our there's there's be

28:25

a name for that phenomenon. I don't exactly know

28:27

what it is pressing named after com some day,

28:29

but I do think that as a I do

28:32

think that is a real thing in a trap

28:34

that we fall. Into. Other pick

28:36

you wanted to highlight in this round. Like I

28:38

mentioned so name's already are you in a zebra

28:40

Right after Marvin Harrison? No wonder you're things around

28:42

Such a great take. You made the sick. Soccer

28:45

fan of the expert dislikes own text.

28:49

Ah Mau Takes Time Williams a

28:51

criminal Law They Nico Collins, Drake,

28:54

London, Derrick Henry Ah. I.

28:57

Want to have a drink one in conversation buffers As a

28:59

you wanted to highlight Derrick Henry he was use the final

29:01

pick up around to Aaron. I'm curious is because I know

29:03

how I feel that Eric Henry how do you feel about

29:05

I'm here. Yeah, my initial feeling

29:07

is man Derrick Henry could scored. Twenty

29:10

times as you're like ten or

29:12

even an amazing situation as the

29:14

as the as pretty mind when

29:16

I like yeah I'll get a

29:18

cabbie outside of the way you

29:20

know he's with We've seen Derrick

29:22

Henry his best season already. That's

29:24

that's happened. Yeah, dare countries thirty.

29:26

He has been bad yet though.

29:28

And this is Baltimore. Ah, I'm

29:30

This is the most run, you

29:32

know, the most productive running team

29:34

in the league. As run heavy

29:36

as they get, she's that. He's

29:38

just the unrivaled number. One Yes, he's

29:41

tied to a Russian quarterback, but it's a

29:43

Russian quarterback who isn't trying to take all

29:45

the goal line carry. So I just think

29:47

there's a real path here for Derrick Henry.

29:50

Disc Lake Union Have to be like super

29:52

efficient. He could. He could get into the

29:54

end zone twenty times. that's that's very much

29:56

in play on his. Like. His

29:59

actual eighty p at lake I'm

30:01

on. The. Nfc on the

30:03

high stakes sites. It's It's really wow.

30:05

It's way lower than us, which I

30:07

get it if you're If you're playing

30:10

for Ppr, you're not as excited about

30:12

Derrick Henry as you are in other

30:14

formats. But man, touchdowns play everywhere. and

30:16

I I just think his Id so

30:19

likely to give us an hour lemon

30:21

hundred yards, Thirteen hundred yards, a huge

30:23

touchdown total. like I know, I probably.

30:25

but him. He.

30:28

Privee behind Mccaffrey. I'm I'd say be

30:30

like my second favorite said to lead

30:32

the league and touchdowns right now. I'm

30:36

very much with you that zigzag how I

30:38

feel about Derrick Henry who is. You.

30:40

Mentioned his early best Quality people,

30:42

fantasy prose and census data here.

30:45

Thirty second overall Player. Still,

30:47

oh man, that is too low. I mean

30:49

your boy Sam Reporters ahead of him. There's

30:52

some like members that are, I mean a

30:54

baseball draft tend to be more receiver heavy

30:56

and more receiver Thursday that there's a dicey

30:58

receiver bats and like even just low ceiling

31:00

receiver bets going ahead of Derrick Henry. Other

31:03

running backs into i don't I don't know

31:05

about all that. So yeah, to me, I

31:07

think Derrick Henry pre. Low

31:10

ranked here. A Are you going to

31:12

load some these early draft cause I

31:14

like what's the floor caught stealing combination

31:16

for Derrick. Henry I don't think there's

31:18

a scenario a gonna get the Baltimore He

31:20

just like can't play anymore yeah like just

31:23

look at how efficient Gus Edwards were was

31:25

with those opportunities and I think that Derrick

31:27

Henry even if he's older is gonna be

31:30

better than like post injury Gus Edward. So

31:32

am I like Derrick Henry there I'd you

31:34

just want to touch on Drake London who

31:36

was dance pick the final pick it a

31:39

second round Andy I'm I'm think I'm going

31:41

to ask everybody who's opinion I respect. This.

31:44

Question: heading into the disease and I guess

31:46

I'll ask you as well. I'm not gonna

31:48

love you and keep I'm stuck. but I

31:51

guess I will ask you as well. I'm

31:53

say I'm a big Drake London guy right?

31:55

I love Drake London I think. I.

31:58

Think he can beat it by the end of the. The

32:00

than he could be considered like a

32:02

top ten real life Nfl receive rubbing

32:04

his got that in his range or

32:07

outcomes. Extremely good player. Okay, very very

32:09

just that he checks all the boxes

32:11

I want. From. A wide

32:13

outright like he does. All the things

32:15

I like. Same.

32:17

Time though. He's. Gone off the

32:19

board here. end of the second

32:22

round Dalton years in early baseball

32:24

draft Atp of twenty overall not

32:26

wide receiver Twenty twenty overall, Wide

32:28

receiver twelve on certain sites He

32:30

is up there in as a

32:33

queer top like fifteen pick. Overall

32:35

off the board. This is a

32:37

guy again. I. Think the film

32:39

on drake line has been great. Okay, I

32:41

think he has been a. His.

32:43

Stats have been a product of his circumstance,

32:46

not a product of Drake London, and I

32:48

think the situation is much better here for

32:50

Drake London. Are we gonna get over our

32:52

skis A little bit too much? Andy with

32:55

Drake London Because here's the thing. Brass Tacks

32:57

This guy has been. Why does he were

32:59

thirty nine? A wide receiver? thirty five in

33:01

his first two seasons, even just take it

33:04

like. Giving him the Kirk

33:06

Cousins boost the giving him the office of

33:08

ecosystem boost he could. We could get to

33:10

like wide receiver twenty and I think that

33:12

be a great season for Drake London like

33:14

a brick. One of finishes with eighty one

33:16

catches. Over. A thousand yards and

33:19

seven touchdowns. Are you disappointed by that? Because

33:21

that's a devout his mid season last year

33:23

and he was wide receiver. twenty and so

33:25

I just I. I I do think there

33:27

is a high ceiling for Drake One, I

33:29

just think the variance a little bit wider

33:32

and I say this as a drink. One

33:34

guy like Idol, the people come in here

33:36

complaining. After eighty one catches a thousand yards,

33:38

seven touchdowns. I don't want to hear it.

33:41

The South so I'm just kind of preparing for

33:43

that part of it emi over this. So here's

33:45

here's kind of the way I'm I'm looking at

33:47

it and I will. I will say. I'd.

33:50

I gave.so the picked because I just

33:52

I give.i'm sure that the it's just

33:55

it's my bets but I'm why why

33:57

should do think I like London like.

34:00

A whole lot differently than we think of

34:02

Garrett Wilson. Ah, I'm. Like.

34:04

They're they're both kind of. You know,

34:06

they have both been saddled with just

34:08

absolutely dismal quarterback situations over the last

34:10

two years. And yet their their talent

34:12

is just screaming right? It's it's parents

34:15

We We know that in a better

34:17

situation, better, better passer the controls. They

34:19

could have a big year. We've seen

34:21

the target totals from here. it wasn't

34:23

I guess we haven't quite got there

34:25

yet with with Drake London. But yeah,

34:27

it sure looks like Atlanta is the

34:29

sort of often that could. It could

34:31

just funnel it to Three Guys, which

34:33

is what we dream of in fantasy.

34:35

Right like that definitely happen. and I can. I don't

34:37

know I I feel like I can see that that

34:39

sort of ninety ninth percentile outcome for Drake One and

34:41

looks an awful lot like Garrett Wilson and nobody blinks.

34:43

If you take your At Wilson with the last thing

34:45

in the first rounder, the first or second pic of

34:48

the second round right arm at their. There might be

34:50

a little bit of a difference in terms of target

34:52

total, but I but I'd. You. Know man

34:54

worked for talking about to pretty good

34:56

quarterbacks who are both really coming off

34:58

the same injury. And and man, Kirk

35:00

was as good as anybody for half

35:02

a season last year. So ah, I

35:04

guess I guess that would be the

35:07

way I would. The. Were wood frame

35:09

it I. I also think you're right

35:11

that we're we're closing in on the

35:13

best case scenario with this A D

35:15

P for Drake London like we're we're

35:17

drafting him. Definitely add you know what,

35:19

what is probably pretty close to the

35:21

best possible outcome. But on the other

35:23

hand, again I also see him as

35:26

a as a super similar player does

35:28

to Wilson in in some respects I'm

35:30

against like nine hundred yards last year.

35:32

With. Ritter. And Hynek year

35:35

quarterback was heroic work. Yeah,

35:37

Overall, I I hope I'm just over thinking this,

35:39

but I I hear your point of we're sort

35:42

of drafting him. maybe not at his ceiling, but

35:44

we're we're getting close to bump in up to

35:46

that ceilings less moved around three. I.

35:49

Aaron started off with Travis City and

35:51

Dalton. Very boring just jacobs. Receipt.

35:53

Or sod white. Moink. neighbors same

35:56

laporta you took isaiah pacheco com

35:58

and takes the first quarter Josh

36:00

Allen I took James Cook which I'm kind of

36:02

mixed on that pick I'm curious what you think

36:04

about that and then DK Metcalf

36:06

and DJ Moore finish up the round here So

36:08

Andy, let's there a couple of curious picks in

36:10

this one I know you loved

36:13

your own pick of Isaiah Pacheco, but good for

36:15

you You loved all of your

36:17

own picks seemingly. That's what I'm getting from your notes

36:19

here Malik neighbors, I

36:21

think stands out as the first like eye-popping

36:23

pick here Do you have any issue with

36:25

Malik neighbors who Kate took? With

36:28

the fourth pick of this round compared

36:30

to Marvin Harrison in round two. Yeah,

36:33

I do I think this is I

36:35

think this is a little bit too close in proximity to

36:37

Marvin and you can like You

36:41

know if the argument that you're gonna make for

36:43

Marvin Harrison and this is not the argument that

36:45

we made But if you're making a strictly like

36:47

volume based argument for Marvin Harrison Then

36:49

I guess you should feel the same way

36:51

about Malik neighbors. I think they're both great

36:53

players I don't you know,

36:55

I don't see glaring weaknesses to neighbors

36:57

game And they

37:00

are both stepping into situations where they should

37:02

be heavily targeted receivers It's

37:04

just one of them is a heavily

37:06

targeted receiver with Kyler Murray at quarterback

37:08

And the other one is headed to

37:10

a pretty messy QB situation in New York

37:12

Yeah, and I I feel like there should

37:14

be more than a round of difference between

37:17

them I don't think that like, you know,

37:19

you want to take neighbors as You

37:22

know at the at the back end of the

37:24

of the wide receiver twos is a wide receiver

37:26

three You're looking at them in round four around

37:28

five. I get it This

37:31

this felt pretty aggressive to me Especially like

37:33

I don't know again you start looking at

37:35

the receivers who were on the board. It's

37:37

Metcalf It's DJ more Devon say Adams is

37:39

on the board. I you both Niners are

37:41

on the board, right? Like it's a it's

37:44

a good group of receivers who were still there I

37:47

get it with the volume game with Malik

37:49

neighbors, but am I gonna get I

37:51

don't know I My my own projecting

37:53

for Malik neighbors does not make him a third

37:55

round pick. I will I will say that much

37:58

I'm with you. I like Malik neighbors a lot and

38:01

I think he's gonna get said volume but the

38:03

way he's gonna have to be said volume in

38:05

this offense with Daniel Jones and or Drew Lock

38:07

is very different than the type of targets that

38:09

Marvin Harrison is gonna get. Harrison's gonna get like

38:11

vertical targets on the outside. I think Malik neighbors

38:14

is gonna get a lot of like some

38:16

Mickey Mouse targets here just to get him

38:19

going in the open field which is which

38:21

is good and bad right. I think there's

38:23

gonna we could come away from Malik neighbors

38:25

this rookie season thinking like oh that was

38:28

really quote inefficient with the

38:30

volume that he got like which would could be

38:32

no fault of his own certainly. Like

38:34

and I don't care what you think about

38:36

Kyler Murray he's a much better quarterback than

38:38

either of these two guys here in New

38:40

York. So I think the floor ceiling combination

38:42

that is a wide range for Malik neighbors

38:44

and I just don't think the ceiling necessarily

38:46

is higher than DK Metcalf or

38:49

higher than a DJ more this year these guys or

38:51

some of the players you mentioned that go off in

38:53

round four. So I I agree to you that one

38:55

stood out to me. If that's gonna be the Malik

38:57

neighbors price this year I'm just not gonna have a

38:59

lot of Malik neighbors in drafts this

39:01

season which there's so many good receivers I don't necessarily

39:04

know if that's gonna kill me. Your

39:06

boy Sam LaPorta goes to Moe the

39:08

pick after of the fifth pick in

39:11

the third round. Are

39:13

you prepared to speak negatively about

39:16

Sam LaPorta, Andy Barons? Because I

39:18

do think this is gonna he's

39:20

gonna be an interesting conversation because

39:22

like clearly he's overtaken Travis

39:24

Kelsey as the industry consensus tight

39:26

end one 27th player

39:28

off the board in early best ball draft Scott on

39:31

the last episode was just kind of raising an eyebrow

39:33

at that Andy. Are you prepared to

39:35

speak poorly of your boy Sam LaPorta or should he be

39:37

the fifth player off the board? Yeah I

39:40

think everybody knows how I feel about that

39:42

I am NOT prepared to speak poorly of

39:44

Sam LaPorta. I like I you

39:46

know somebody wants to make the argument that maybe the maybe

39:49

the touchdowns aren't gonna be there to the same extent this

39:51

year I get it it's

39:53

just he was such a high-volume guy last

39:55

year like like the targets were there And

39:57

not enough has changed in this receiving.

40:00

Core to make me feel like volume

40:02

is gonna is gonna veer away from

40:04

Laporta so I think he's relatively safe.

40:06

I think that the biggest take away

40:08

a tight end is that I'm It's

40:10

not. It's not a tier of one

40:12

guy anymore. It's not just Travis Kelsey.

40:14

and then there's an empty tear and

40:16

then it's bookmark Andrews in the rest.

40:18

The tight ends, right? It's not like

40:20

anymore. And and the fact that like

40:22

unannounced some it's I'm He took Kelsey

40:24

over Laporte. I wouldn't. I wouldn't bat

40:26

an eye that like that, wouldn't you

40:28

know Trousers Kelsey has been a. Top three,

40:30

fantasy type and for eight straight seasons and he's

40:32

been the number one tight end in six of

40:34

this season. So like any looks great in the

40:37

post season. so if you wanna you want take

40:39

him first. I totally get it. But.

40:42

The the important thing is there's they're just

40:44

should be a lot of draft separation between

40:46

Laporta, Tween, Kelsey, and then it's It's like

40:49

guys like Mcbride and Andrews and Kincaid not

40:51

long after. So it's just. it's just flatter

40:53

and deeper, a tight end and that has

40:55

forced Lc out of the first round. It's

40:58

for staying inside and out of the first

41:00

round, out of the second round. I'm I'm

41:02

I'm actually like if if if this is

41:04

consistently the price on the porta, you know

41:06

I. I literally had i'm in ninety percent

41:09

of my legs last year and I'm a

41:11

smoker be the case, This year because

41:13

I'm for most part I'm I'm targeting

41:15

wide receivers and running backs. and in

41:18

round three, so I'm. I'm

41:20

in all the dynasty leagues or I drafted a last

41:22

year, but I'm probably not going to get him and

41:24

redraft nearly as often. Or

41:27

disprove appeared your I'd. Say

41:29

that. I will say that if you are worried

41:32

about sam board and I mean listen, if there's

41:34

plenty reason than you might not. Give.

41:36

You back on a third round. A D

41:38

P here. I. Would

41:40

say that if James Williams is going to

41:43

take a step forward, right? Yeah, Josh Reynolds

41:45

leaves mind sixty Four Targets. But it's not

41:47

just like James the we get to keep

41:49

his Forty four from last year or Forty

41:51

Two. you've mastered and absorb Josh Reynolds like

41:53

that's not how often works he's probably going

41:55

to take from somebody on the you taken

41:57

anything from on Rossi bribing. He might take

41:59

a. A bit of the hundred twenty from

42:01

Sam Laporta and and you really are kind of

42:03

banking on some touchdown. An. Equity there

42:06

to get you through the next few

42:08

phases. Ah, Other Pet again, I don't

42:10

think the anything else has to notable.

42:12

From this round I clicked James Cook

42:14

Year at a Love Taken click click

42:16

and James Cook Year But. I.

42:18

Did it the Bills or to be more committed

42:21

to run of the ball. Andy and James Cook

42:23

should be involved as a receiver and he finished

42:25

the year with some really strong games. So I'm

42:27

again. I. I took James Cook and unlike you,

42:29

I'm prepared to be self critical here that I

42:32

think I didn't love a stick. says.

42:35

It's really, it's really only the first three rounds

42:37

or I felt where I felt awesome about every

42:39

choice I made like I have a but I'm

42:41

I'm also I'm kind of on i that Jekyll

42:43

Island. I've got a much higher than I think

42:45

the rest of the industry does. I think either

42:47

use a plausible like and of first round sort

42:49

of running back Iraqi. I think it'd be like

42:51

top five top six am. I think the off

42:53

season has gone very well. for example, check out

42:55

and I don't know that were if we fully

42:58

adjusted to it. but I also think the Ah

43:00

seasons gone pretty well for James Cock. I'm in

43:02

our out think he's I don't think he has

43:04

an obvious. Arrival in that backfield, he has

43:06

the Josh Allen problem with the goal

43:08

line com I'd I'd I didn't think

43:10

he was like an end of tear

43:12

guy here, necessarily so like, you know,

43:15

I don't I? For whatever reason I

43:17

I've only done it a handful of

43:19

of drafts to this point, but I

43:21

am mostly Marks which who cares and

43:23

I have not landed upon James Cook

43:25

yet. But this does feel like the

43:28

right range forum and obviously his best

43:30

games last year where where week last.

43:34

Why? Why? If U S

43:36

43:38

43:40

44:08

let's move to round four here. This is

44:10

basically just boring old receiver

44:12

round if you want to give it a

44:15

theme. Devontae

44:17

Adams, Scott kicks off with Devontae

44:19

Adams. Travis Kelsey, Brandon Ayuk, Amari

44:21

Cooper, Devon Achan, your pick, Andy.

44:25

Staphon Dang. Wow, great pick by me.

44:27

I mean, just another stunner by Andy Barron.

44:31

We'll circle back to Achan. Staphon Diggs, Najee

44:34

Harris, Deebo Samuel, Cooper Cupp and Mike Evans.

44:36

So yeah, a lot of boring veteran

44:38

names. I'll tell you what,

44:40

I was I was tempted to

44:42

take Ayuk at the pick I took James Cook at. And

44:44

I was like, I think maybe I

44:46

could get Ayuk in the fourth round if

44:49

I just let it wait. And I because

44:51

I thought there was kind of a cliff

44:53

there from James Cook down to like the

44:55

next available running backs, which like I don't

44:57

have. I'm a little skeptical on Achan and

44:59

Najee Harris to Sharon at backfield, of course,

45:01

too. So I actually got from a strategy

45:03

perspective. I was like, this is the end

45:05

of a tear here. And as much as

45:07

I love Ayuk, I want Brandon Ayuk on

45:09

my teams. This was a healthy round for

45:11

boring receivers. So what picks stood out to

45:13

you in this one? Besides your own. I

45:15

think there's always, you know, sometimes

45:17

in fantasy, there's just there's just value on these

45:19

on these boring old guys. Like

45:23

to me, to me, this is really,

45:25

you know, I feel like I'm I feel like I'm

45:27

flattering Aaron, perhaps a bit too much here. Young

45:29

guy, we should probably be beating him down, molding

45:31

him, but I'm not. But

45:33

I like that Mike Evans pick Mike Evans

45:36

at like overall number 40. Again,

45:39

like everybody knows that Mike

45:41

Evans has never finished the season with less than

45:43

a thousand receiving yards. Huge

45:45

touchdown total last year. But

45:48

a bunch of monster touchdown totals over the years. So

45:51

like he's he's just a very bankable high

45:53

floor receiver that you're getting here. And like,

45:56

I Guess nobody's excited to draft Mike

45:58

Evans, but the number. These are

46:00

always there and the and right like he

46:02

he basically never misses. Super Super Cup was

46:05

ah you know this. I think this is

46:07

the right rounds. Kubrick up Again has had

46:09

one of the greatest individual receiving seasons in

46:11

the history of the league, so we gotta

46:14

respect for them. For credit for that, We

46:16

were panicky about him like three quarters the

46:18

way through the year last year and then

46:20

and then he finished really strong. I'm strung

46:23

together a bunch touchdowns at the end of

46:25

year are also saw some double digit target

46:27

games at the end of year citing he.

46:30

He saved his fantasy wrap a little bit.

46:32

I'm at the end of the season. I

46:34

think he belongs here. I you know, this

46:36

is where I thought calling got a little

46:38

wild and where I thought collins, you know

46:41

history with the cowboys and X cowboys might

46:43

have gotten the best of him. I legs,

46:45

I'm I'm does and I'm not taking Amari

46:47

Cooper. I'm when digs Cop Evans or or

46:49

on the board that says nothing that's going

46:51

to happen and I have like. I have

46:54

a lot of respect for the season that

46:56

Cooper delivered last year to like I thought

46:58

he was great. I

47:00

don't know that he's getting the Joe

47:02

Flacco bail out this year. I have.

47:05

I. Mean wow, do I have cancer? I

47:08

mean that his quarterback dish on Watson

47:10

has been good since twenty twenty and

47:12

that dead partial season that he gave

47:14

us last year was exactly to the

47:17

stat the parcel season that he gave

47:19

us the year before. So think the

47:21

most likely. Scenario. With

47:23

Watson is just bad quarterback my sweaty

47:25

and that an idea when be tied

47:28

to that. The. Joe

47:30

Flacco Bail On is an incredible line.

47:32

Most I I don't I don't always

47:34

read what producer call and puts into

47:36

chat but I'm I'm gonna read it

47:38

here. Cohen

47:40

says also it was. it was Friday night

47:43

of my birthday weekend a happy birthday college

47:45

and I was missing him which is just

47:47

of I mean in our racist thing for

47:49

assume an adult a say. About.

47:51

A player the no longer place your

47:54

favorite football team. We're not that I

47:56

mean my God Collins, What other one?

47:58

A birthday present yourself? It. Appears

48:01

the like I said. Okay, so like

48:03

uber wide receiver eighteen last year. So

48:05

I mean is it within this range?

48:07

I just think from when I look

48:09

at early Best buy a D P.

48:11

I actually do think Amari Cooper is

48:13

of value because he goes off the

48:15

board. Here's the fifty second overall player

48:18

the twenty ninth, but a huge range

48:20

in terms of kind of the sites,

48:22

but why does you between nine? Overall,

48:24

actually think I would take Amari Cooper

48:26

ahead of The Flowers and Tank Dell

48:28

and Key To Now and I t.

48:30

Higgins even are some of these guys.

48:32

Maybe he goes behind here. But.

48:34

In our draft. Yes, I do think Amari

48:36

Cooper was a little aggressive given some of

48:38

those other names that went off the board

48:41

in this round, but at the same time.

48:43

Yeah. He clearly has a quarterback problem, but

48:45

like depot Samuel has ah I think a

48:47

volume and an injury problem. Cooper Cop I

48:50

think has an old and an injury problems

48:52

and Mike Evans like you know you can

48:54

account on Baker Mayfield to run back what

48:56

you did last year, so I think he's

48:59

eager pride you that's savant. Digs has a

49:01

tard competition problem so. I'm. Not I'm

49:03

not to. I'm not not defending Are Calling wrote

49:05

in the chat about missing Amari Cooper Friday night.

49:07

I'm I'm not defending that, will not defend that.

49:10

but I will defend him a little bit. Like

49:12

maybe he's not so out on the ledge here

49:14

in terms of the tear of this receiver. Yeah.

49:17

I will just say like had he gone sixty

49:19

six here that's that's two rounds layer for right

49:21

like that's the middle his room sixth round emulate

49:23

the i think you know and that might be

49:25

a little that like he might be a nice

49:28

little value their like he probably belongs in the

49:30

conversation with like I know Waddle Maclaurin. I'm looking

49:32

at the names when I take i wouldn't project

49:34

Mad Sigma had of George Pickens. I'm looking at

49:36

some of the names in the sixth round now

49:38

and I like him better than all those guys.

49:40

I like him better than Tank Dell. yes Alyssa

49:42

I'm not move into the just moved his move

49:44

in and around five here because and will uglier

49:47

I. Read awesome the now and see if you like any

49:49

of them better that you mention some of them a better

49:51

than them. Ah, Than than

49:53

Amari Cooper here so around five goes

49:55

with Aaron takes to Monte Smith. This.

49:58

is the round of the quarterback run literally the four

50:00

picks Jalen hurts CJ Stroud Patrick

50:02

Mahomes Lamar Jackson you come back

50:05

Andy with unironically a great pick

50:08

Michael Pittman Michael Pittman jr.

50:10

Who actually do I think I would take Michael

50:12

Pittman ahead of of a Mari

50:14

Cooper But Joe mixin Colin takes Joe mixin in this

50:16

round. I took Jalen wattle just in kind of like

50:19

a I Think it's

50:21

a little late for Jalen wattle Terry McLaurin and

50:23

then Kenneth Walker here So I read off those

50:25

receiver names any of those guys stand out to

50:27

you is like You know should be better

50:29

than some of those round four guys that went before them. Yeah,

50:31

I like I like Smith I like Pittman. I like

50:36

Like McLaurin over Over

50:38

a Mari Cooper. It's it's it's close like

50:40

this is I'm so ready to get hurt

50:42

by Terry McLaurin again. I'm This

50:46

is this is more the conversation Yeah, these

50:48

receivers feel a little bit more Cooper ish

50:50

to me I will I will say on

50:52

the on the issue of the quarterbacks like

50:55

And this is one of those things where like you get you get a

50:57

bunch of people who work in the fantasy industry Together and you make them

50:59

have a draft You know one

51:01

quarterback league and they the quarterbacks

51:03

just simply don't go where they

51:05

will in a lot of hometown

51:07

leagues right like when you're when

51:09

you're in somebody's Basement

51:12

and you're a few beverages in and

51:14

you're drafting a team like definitely there's

51:16

three dudes who are taking quarterbacks in

51:18

the second round Like that is what

51:20

happens in live sloppy drunken drafts So

51:23

that the quarterback run does not happen in

51:25

round five But when

51:27

it happens, it's gonna look like this like these

51:29

are these are I think the right names that

51:31

that are gonna Just go boom boom. Boom. I

51:33

don't know that they'll go in this order I

51:35

don't know that we'll always see CJ CJ Stroud

51:37

go ahead of Patrick Mahomes, but it's not it's

51:40

not crazy He's gonna be throwing a Nico

51:42

and digs and and tanked L and man

51:44

That is a loaded offense and

51:46

I love everything they did and we love what

51:48

Stroud did last year So like it's these are

51:50

the names these are the right names So this

51:52

probably happens in your league in like round two

51:54

round three And I'm I'm a

51:56

little I will also say that I'm a little

51:58

bit surprised Not

52:01

to drag a Colin pick back into this. So Colin

52:03

takes Josh Allen in round three. I

52:06

don't see two rounds of separation between

52:08

Josh Allen and these quarterbacks. And

52:11

that is, I'm recognizing the

52:13

fact that Josh Allen has been the

52:15

QB one multiple times, right? Like I

52:17

full respect for Josh Allen. Like

52:20

his receiving core did not

52:22

get, you know, it's not

52:24

upgraded in any obvious way relative

52:27

to last season and all these other

52:29

receiving rooms, you know,

52:32

obviously things are looking great in

52:34

Houston. Things are looking better in Kansas City than

52:36

they were a year ago. I think things are

52:38

looking really good. Like second year of Zae Flowers.

52:40

I like where Baltimore's receiving room is at. Like I

52:42

just, I don't know. I

52:45

don't think that Josh Allen is the, you know, don't

52:48

even give it a thought QB one. I think there's

52:50

a conversation there. Early ADP does

52:53

seem to disagree with you a little bit where

52:55

he is the consensus QB one. He's the 21st

52:57

overall player off the board in early basketball drafts.

52:59

And the next highest guy that's taken is Jalen

53:01

Hurts at 33. So actually we

53:03

kind of, this was right,

53:05

right? Because again, early drafts Jalen Hurts 33,

53:08

Lamar Jackson 40, Patrick Holmes 42, CJ Stroud 47.

53:11

Like that is sort of how it goes in

53:15

drafts, right? So, and

53:17

I kind of liked that there hasn't been,

53:20

this felt one of like one of those

53:22

Twitter straw men things where as soon as

53:24

Stefan Diggs gets traded, everybody's like, Josh Allen

53:26

about to be a big value. Make

53:28

sure you send trade offers for Josh Allen at

53:31

Dynasty. And like, nobody seems to

53:33

have like overreacted to that piece of news, which

53:35

I think is right. Look,

53:37

should, could Jalen Hurts finish the QB one or any of

53:39

the other guys do the QB one? I think totally possible,

53:41

but I still think Josh Allen is such a safe bet.

53:43

So I'm a little bit disagreeing with you

53:46

on that one, but let's move into the ground. Well, that's

53:48

the argument for Allen, right? I don't, I don't see a

53:50

scenario where a healthy Josh Allen is not a top three

53:52

or five fantasy quarterback. There's no way he drops from those

53:54

rings. Yeah. Let's move

53:57

to round Six here. Trey McBride, George

53:59

Pickens, Anthony Richards. Then by your boy here

54:01

Don King Cade Alvin Kamara great Had my

54:03

indie bands Alvin Kamara, Air and Jones. How

54:06

many Pollard marketed as Hank Dell Keenan Allen?

54:08

Ah yes I I I took the plunge

54:10

on a the riches in your I explained

54:12

a lot of my logic on the last

54:15

episode with Scott where. The

54:17

biggest thing to be as I think. Joe.

54:20

Mixon, Kenneth Walker going round five and another you'd sir.

54:22

I'm not sure how I'm gonna be on can't walk

54:24

around so where can I went out by like when Counter

54:26

Joe Mixon I was like. I

54:28

think that was the running back class because after

54:30

that, like. I can see scenarios where

54:32

Alvin Kamara is useful. I could see scenario

54:34

where and Jones is useful. but like when

54:37

I took a the richest and if I

54:39

was weighing him cause I thought music I'd

54:41

have taken two running backs here barkley and

54:43

and and James Cook. but I'd probably like

54:46

to take a third running back. I

54:49

actually ended up getting Dave Montgomery the next round on.

54:51

it was like wow Exceed! I like Dave Montgomery just

54:53

as much if not more than a lot of the

54:55

back. They went ahead of him here so I felt

54:57

for actually shot again shot at the we shouted out

54:59

and enough shout out to me. I

55:01

did guy degrade to get the Montgomery there,

55:03

but when I was weighing richard Sin against

55:05

some of these other backs just like. This.

55:09

He has that type of upside like

55:11

define my fantasy season. Upside were those

55:13

running backs at this point do Not.

55:16

Yeah. This was. When.

55:18

I when I took Pittman. This. Was my

55:20

point. Richardson was my plan com I you

55:22

know and I like who gets who gets

55:24

mad about getting snake dinner in a mock

55:27

draft sign. It's it's where I'm but I

55:29

but Richardson. I was gonna come back with

55:31

Richardson and I was like oh man that's

55:33

my huck, that's that's what am I right

55:35

about in this damn recap. I had a

55:37

blow that up because harm in Texas and

55:40

thing Richards and I think there's a i

55:42

think Watterson it is the right quarterback to

55:44

take like once. all these once all these

55:46

sure thing guys are off the board and

55:48

it's a one quarterback. League. So you know if

55:51

richardson I don't think is going to face plant but

55:53

if we face plants it's a one quarterback like it's

55:55

fine there's gonna be you know you're in a find

55:57

a guy on the waiver wire who's gonna give you

55:59

forty. Six hundred yards right? Like That's just

56:01

how this goes in attend team one quarterback

56:04

like so you should take big swings. I'm

56:06

and Richardson is the right way to do

56:08

it. I'm rushing. Upside is massive. Friday he

56:10

runs for for touchy feely. Finished one game

56:12

last year at a place for games. really

56:14

finishes one of them and gives us seven

56:17

combined touchdowns. I liked everything about, like the

56:19

glimpses that we saw of what that passing

56:21

game was gonna look like and what they

56:23

were doing forum I I just think it

56:25

all looks great on the receiving corps. Got

56:27

better. They drafted to build around their quarterback

56:30

like I just. I just love what they

56:32

did in the off season and as he

56:34

just if we get sixteen games out of

56:36

Anthony Richardson, I don't see how that guy's

56:38

not a top. Three. Top Five:

56:40

Top six Quarterback right? Like it's just

56:43

it, It probably hurts Jonathan Taylor. It's

56:45

going to be difficult to said pick

56:47

which receiver other than Pittman is gonna

56:49

thrive. But you know, I think Richardson

56:51

can be great and I think he's

56:53

one of those guys. were like that.

56:56

You know, ninety ninth percentile outcome is

56:58

a total golden ticket player who takes

57:00

it to, you know, not just the

57:02

playoffs but me to those to the

57:04

championship round. So I'd I'd love the

57:06

Richardson Tech. I think I'm I think

57:09

that's kind of. Upside that we need

57:11

to start looking at here. I guess

57:13

I would attack at running back. I

57:15

would say that I think the cliffs

57:17

occurs after Jones com era. Montgomery.

57:20

Certainly, I'm awake. We're going to go another

57:22

round here and I hated. You know, Please.

57:25

I hate to compliment calling but I think Zamir

57:28

White where he got him was was was a

57:30

solid tech. Like I think he's part of that

57:32

running back group that we can feel okay about

57:34

and then immediately gets really rough. Yes

57:37

I agree that just lost on a

57:39

be rich the anti rich that either

57:42

going to be be defining fantasy player

57:44

of twenty twenty four or the biggest

57:46

like you guys are a dumb ass

57:48

the thrall com and we're getting from

57:50

from from listeners and you totally and

57:52

not just us. Because. if you to

57:54

if you listeners my gas and oil is is

57:57

this podcast i mean never one shout the hell

57:59

out to you okay If you don't listen

58:01

to any other football or fantasy podcast, you only

58:03

listen to this, I love

58:05

you. Send me your address so I can send

58:07

you like a gift basket or something because that's

58:09

insane dedication. Again, probably that's

58:12

nobody. The whole industry is hyped

58:14

up about Anthony Richardson and I do think that there's

58:16

a chance that all these

58:18

receivers are so good that even Pittman loses a

58:20

little bit of volume here because Mitchell's that good

58:22

and Josh Downes is that good. It's

58:25

the old, I'll shout out, Run for Johnny here and I'm

58:27

going to mess up the analogy. If you're a real old

58:29

head, you know who Run for Johnny is in the fantasy

58:31

business. He used to have a saying

58:34

about like, forget the syrup,

58:36

just get the pancakes or something like that. When

58:39

you can't pick which receiver you like in an

58:42

offense, just get the quarterback, especially when the quarterback

58:44

runs himself. That's part of my Anthony

58:46

Richardson logic, but I don't want to make this

58:48

the second straight Anthony Richardson podcast because again, I

58:50

am very worried we're going to get inundated with

58:52

hate mail on Anthony Richardson if he gets hurt

58:55

in week two. Round

58:57

seven, you mentioned some of the picks

58:59

already, but George Kittle, Rashid Rice, this

59:01

was done before Rashid Rice, the second

59:03

legal incident or potential investigation. So pretty

59:06

tough to know what to do with

59:08

Rashid Rice. Jaden

59:10

Reed, Zae Flowers, DeAndre Swift, Kyle

59:12

Pitts, your pick Andy. Zamir

59:14

White, as you mentioned, went to producer Colin. I

59:16

took David Montgomery, which is a great pick by

59:18

me. I mean, unbelievable value for David Montgomery. It

59:21

actually is. Joe Burrow. Yeah, it actually is. I

59:23

made some dumb picks or some picks I didn't

59:25

love. We're doing this

59:27

with David Montgomery again. We just did this

59:29

last year. Anyways, Joe Burrow

59:31

and James Conner finish out the

59:34

round. This round definitely has a

59:36

lot of those potential second year

59:38

receivers, which have been a little

59:40

hit or miss in previous seasons where we get

59:43

over our skis with these guys sometimes, but also

59:45

they can be like the value ads of

59:47

fantasy football. Rashid Rice, obviously, I don't know

59:50

if he's going to go in this round

59:52

for long, certainly if he ends up getting

59:54

suspended. Maybe He still will.

59:56

I Don't know. He's impossible to talk about. Jaden

59:58

Reed and Zae Flowers are definitely. Interesting players

1:00:00

were I could kind of go either way

1:00:02

on I love them. I love the players and

1:00:05

can go either way on them as as

1:00:07

fantasy commodities especially once we get to the

1:00:09

next round. Were like. Were next.

1:00:11

Runs a really interesting receive around. Saw this kind

1:00:13

of limited that. Yeah. We're

1:00:16

races and almost impossible conversation, right?

1:00:18

Because like, I'll faint since. Fantasy

1:00:20

Expert Sound. Ridiculous.

1:00:22

When we try to break down

1:00:25

a complicated medical situation and like

1:00:27

when we wait into the law

1:00:29

where it's far worse, right? So

1:00:31

liked it it. It could be

1:00:33

anywhere from. The. Suspension doesn't hit

1:00:35

until twenty twenty five to he loses

1:00:37

half a season two he doesn't play

1:00:39

again. I had no idea what's gonna

1:00:41

happen with her. she rests. I can

1:00:44

tell you that ah if he just

1:00:46

had a normal quiet on eventful last

1:00:48

season he's probably going around three around

1:00:50

for so like at at at some

1:00:52

point he probably had to go in

1:00:54

this market for acted like there's I'd

1:00:56

switch over there with Dicey by the

1:00:58

way if he went round three especially

1:01:00

after they add Xavier Worthy and Marquees

1:01:02

Brown. I be like so. We

1:01:05

they are we gonna get the same Mickey Mouse

1:01:07

Robot Rishi Rice God for a large yeah points

1:01:09

of last year. Is he going at it? Does

1:01:11

he need? I don't know that would be a

1:01:13

little aggressive so I'm okay with him though around

1:01:15

seven with the obvious caviar, but I I should

1:01:17

say legal. Disclaimer: I should

1:01:20

make jokes, but legal Disclaimer: I am

1:01:22

not actually allowed to call myself a

1:01:24

fancy Experts as I don't have fifty

1:01:26

years of experience in the field like,

1:01:28

and he does. I'm just some jackass

1:01:30

of the podcast. As. A real fancy

1:01:32

expert though and he is right that they would

1:01:34

folks in the industry try to talk about ah.

1:01:37

Ah, Yes, this is what this may

1:01:39

I ask. Good luck? I've no idea,

1:01:41

I know idea. Yeah.

1:01:44

no no widowed realistically go down that road and

1:01:46

sounds sensible com i will just say that have

1:01:48

none of this had happened i do think that's

1:01:50

where i go and not saying that i'm the

1:01:52

guy takes him in round three but yet you

1:01:54

know is lot of their there was previously a

1:01:57

lot of ray rice or ray rice my god

1:01:59

have mercy race and enthusiasm out there. So

1:02:02

like this is probably an acceptable place for

1:02:04

him to go in a mock that is

1:02:06

a total non-binding situation that nobody has to

1:02:08

play out, right? Like I get it.

1:02:11

The rest of this round, you know,

1:02:14

to the point that you

1:02:16

made about David Montgomery, like probably

1:02:18

shouldn't be six rounds of difference

1:02:20

between Jameer Gibbs and Montgomery. Like

1:02:23

they're, I'm excited about Gibbs

1:02:25

too, but man, like Montgomery is going to

1:02:27

have a role. They loved him last year.

1:02:29

They absolutely loved him last year. They loved

1:02:31

feeding him inside the five yard line. Like

1:02:34

he's going to pile up touchdowns. He,

1:02:36

you know, he just merely needs to

1:02:38

stay healthy. The other thing that happened

1:02:40

here is like, I was really, I

1:02:42

was really looking at Zay Flowers and

1:02:44

you mentioned the second year receivers. Like

1:02:47

if Zay Flowers doesn't, doesn't

1:02:49

do anything new, doesn't get better

1:02:52

in any discernible way. This

1:02:54

is still fine value for him, right? And it, but,

1:02:56

but if he does, if they, if they do more

1:02:58

interesting things with him, if they let him get downfield

1:03:00

a little bit, if we, you know, if

1:03:03

we see a bump in targets, there's a

1:03:05

lot of different ways that Zay Flowers can,

1:03:07

I think blow this, blow this ADP out

1:03:09

of the blow this draft price out of

1:03:11

the water. Final

1:03:14

round here, round eight of this

1:03:16

mock goes Austin Echler, Roman

1:03:18

Dre Stevenson, T Higgins, that was

1:03:20

my pick. Colin takes Nick

1:03:22

Chubb. You take Marquis Brown, then

1:03:24

Calvin Ridley, Deontay Johnson, Raheem Mostert,

1:03:26

Roma Dunsey to Dalton Del Don

1:03:29

and Brock Purdy. My theme of

1:03:31

this round was going to be

1:03:33

like the boring receivers, um,

1:03:35

that the boring receivers that all could very

1:03:38

realistically out produce everybody that was taken in

1:03:40

round seven. Like if I tell you that

1:03:42

T Higgins, I was like, T

1:03:45

Higgins is still on the board. Like T Higgins

1:03:47

out produces Rishi rice, Jaden Reed and Zay Flowers,

1:03:49

0% surprise. Marquis Brown out

1:03:51

produces any of those guys in

1:03:53

Patrick Holmes's offense, 0% surprise. Calvin

1:03:55

Ridley, I'd be maybe, maybe a

1:03:57

little surprised, but like still very.

1:04:00

good player and Will Levesque takes a step.

1:04:02

We're still counting on some things

1:04:04

to happen there for those second year receivers.

1:04:06

I can see Calvin Ridley out producing those.

1:04:09

Shoot, even Deontay Johnson, like if Bryce Young

1:04:11

is just a viable NFL quarterback, Deontay Johnson

1:04:13

could out produce any of those second year

1:04:15

receivers. Of course Dalton Del Don has to

1:04:17

ruin it here, the boring receiver theme by

1:04:20

going with an exciting rookie in Roma Dunez

1:04:22

to end round eight. But alas, generally that

1:04:24

was my theme of this round. Yeah, I

1:04:26

think with Deontay you can just, I mean,

1:04:29

shoot, just look at the season that Adam

1:04:31

Seelen had in a version of the Panthers

1:04:33

offense that is surely worse than

1:04:35

what we'll get this year. I think

1:04:38

Deontay at this stage a better player, right? Like

1:04:40

you can have that year and you can have

1:04:42

that year except finish it off. Look at any

1:04:45

season Deontay Johnson has ever had,

1:04:48

like in his professional career. It's pretty

1:04:51

similar. Yeah, yeah. So I think

1:04:53

round eight for Deontay

1:04:55

was a really nice poll. I actually

1:04:57

think like, you know, whatever, I can

1:04:59

talk myself into H-Ann. I took

1:05:01

him earlier in this draft, but like this is a

1:05:04

four round gap between H-Ann and Raheem Mostert who

1:05:07

was one of the dive, right? So they've committed,

1:05:09

they've like kind of doubled down on Raheem Mostert.

1:05:11

They like him. He fits

1:05:13

the, you know, he fits the theme

1:05:15

of the crazy fast players who they

1:05:17

use really well. So I think Mostert

1:05:20

was a nice value. And my God, I

1:05:22

hope Dalton is right on Roma Deontay. I

1:05:25

was in the same building as Roma Deontay last

1:05:27

night, by the way, at the Sky's Chicago

1:05:29

Sky's preseason game. It was great, like the

1:05:33

big Bears representation there. That was cool to see. I

1:05:35

think Deontay, exactly. Deontay just a

1:05:38

wonderful player. He's got the most pristine

1:05:44

reception, perception, route profile that

1:05:46

you'll ever see, right? Just

1:05:48

green splashed all over the

1:05:50

page. Love

1:05:53

him. It's possible that

1:05:55

he is the Bears number three receiver

1:05:57

in the season, right? Like, and And

1:06:00

if he is, by the way, it's the second

1:06:03

wide receiver three in real life that Dalton

1:06:05

took in this draft because he also took

1:06:07

tank Del. So I don't know, building your

1:06:09

receiving core around like the actual

1:06:11

like in reality wide receiver threes on their teams.

1:06:13

I don't know if that's where I'm going to

1:06:15

go. But I do think a

1:06:18

dunes is a phenomenal player. It might take, you

1:06:20

know, it's going to take a best case scenario

1:06:22

from Caleb Williams for him to really smash this

1:06:24

year. But it might

1:06:26

take him leapfrogging Keenan Allen at some point.

1:06:28

But I think but like that's in play.

1:06:30

I think oh, dunes is great. And I

1:06:32

just man, I hope Dalton nailed this. Yeah,

1:06:36

I'm of the opinion that

1:06:38

I'm not sure that I buy that like, there

1:06:41

should be a round three round six

1:06:43

around eight that seems too clear, too clean

1:06:46

for the Bears receivers. Like, I think that

1:06:48

yeah, you should be cautious of the dunes

1:06:50

because he's a rookie. But if

1:06:52

he's the best receiver on this roster in year one, like

1:06:54

he's that he is good enough to do that. Now,

1:06:57

I will also say that he is never not in

1:06:59

the same place as Caleb Williams, like they are, they

1:07:01

are like at the hip attached all of a sudden,

1:07:04

right? Like you just you never see a photo of

1:07:06

one without the without the other appearing in it. So

1:07:09

I'm pretty sure that they're going to be tight throughout the

1:07:11

offseason. And

1:07:14

I think sometimes we stretch that too much like the

1:07:16

fact that CJ Stroud whenever he's

1:07:18

asked about anything, he somehow mentions Tank

1:07:20

Del. That doesn't mean that

1:07:22

I think Tank Del is definitely going to be the number

1:07:24

one receiver on this team. I don't think that that means

1:07:27

that about Roma dunes, but it just shows like there's a

1:07:29

trust in a bond and a chemistry there that I mean,

1:07:31

shoot, it was it was signal for Tank Del last year,

1:07:33

he ended up being a really, really good pick in fantasy

1:07:35

last year until he got hurt. So that

1:07:38

could be a thing for Roma dunes. It does doesn't mean

1:07:40

that he's gonna be easily the best receiver, but I

1:07:42

just think I think all of them are going

1:07:44

to be a little closer than our mock indicates

1:07:46

here. And actually all of them could kind of

1:07:48

come away from the year like

1:07:50

a little disappointed by all of them, basically, but then

1:07:52

very excited about what you get out of the Bears

1:07:55

often. So I think that is in play. And

1:07:57

I'm with you that most dirt is very interesting here. Um,

1:08:01

should, yeah, should divine HN really be

1:08:03

around four pick and most would be

1:08:05

round eight? I, I'm a

1:08:07

little skeptical, uh, on that one. My

1:08:09

final take on this mock is just,

1:08:12

you know, we've said some good things about, about

1:08:14

Aaron so far. Uh, I'll

1:08:16

get, I'll give him a shout out for just a pure

1:08:19

Homer vanity pay. He's a 49ers fan.

1:08:22

Just taking Brock Purdy with the final pick of

1:08:24

this round. Um, Aaron, I respect the

1:08:26

hell out of it. This mock

1:08:28

matters, not like zero to real

1:08:30

life, to your job, to

1:08:32

anything. Just be like, F it.

1:08:35

I'm just, I don't care what I've done so

1:08:37

far. I'm just taking Brock Purdy with my final

1:08:39

pick. He, he, he starts it out with a

1:08:41

Niner at the top of the draft and McCaffrey

1:08:43

and he finishes it out with a Niner, um,

1:08:45

in, in round eight. So shout out to Aaron for that. I

1:08:48

think he also liked the symmetry of making

1:08:50

Brock Purdy the Mr. Irrelevant of, of our

1:08:53

eight round mock draft, right? Um,

1:08:55

but it, it transitioned a little bit

1:08:57

to like, I thought, I thought Aaron was going

1:08:59

to, was going to bypass quarterback altogether in this thing.

1:09:01

And there were Scott and I, um, were the only

1:09:04

two drafters who ultimately did not take a quarterback in

1:09:06

the top eight rounds. Again, I was open to

1:09:08

it. I was looking at Anthony Richardson. I'm not saying

1:09:10

that you have to wait until like round nine or

1:09:12

round 10. I, I just want

1:09:14

to point out that if you, if you do

1:09:17

wait, um, like Scott and I, like

1:09:19

based on the way this is gone, everybody else

1:09:21

has a QB, one QB league. Um, Scott and

1:09:23

I could probably wait now until like, I don't

1:09:25

know, round 11, round 12 at

1:09:28

the position and the guys still on the

1:09:30

board include last year's QB three, Dak Prescott

1:09:32

last year's QB five, Jordan love who's, who's

1:09:35

great. And is also one of those guys

1:09:37

who like, I don't know, maybe we don't

1:09:39

want to touch any of the receivers, but

1:09:42

all the numbers go to Jordan love. So like, we like

1:09:44

that. Um, Kyler Murray is still out

1:09:46

there. That's a guy who's been the overall QB three

1:09:48

before he's had an 800 rushing yard

1:09:51

season, right? Like we love Kyler Murray. Um,

1:09:53

there's just a bunch of options. Like there's,

1:09:56

It's fine. If You do, you can get away with anything in

1:09:58

a, in a 10 team. The most part

1:10:00

right and so it's fine if you you know if you're

1:10:03

in on the early quarterbacks I get it but if you

1:10:05

with on those guys if the run happens in your out.

1:10:07

Like. You you can still get Jordan

1:10:09

Love super late and this format and and

1:10:11

you're fine like back I can definitely finishes the

1:10:14

Qb for he besides. Yeah.

1:10:16

I think that's a very viable smart

1:10:18

strategy by you Andy Be only thing

1:10:20

I will say as you know you

1:10:22

gotta know your draft Roman I'm if

1:10:24

we if we. Pushed. This mock

1:10:27

into next weekend and and an old Collins

1:10:29

Social Plans are this weekend, but maybe not.

1:10:31

feeling a little emotional after a few drinks

1:10:33

and and he wants that? Yeah yeah, it's

1:10:35

a Josh Allen earlier, but I'm. He.

1:10:37

Wants to get one last ride with Dak Prescott

1:10:39

is not could be a cowboy agains a take

1:10:42

stack as as back and I guys he comes

1:10:44

around and Exxon it just takes Jordan. Love the

1:10:46

I have heard of in Florida your to be

1:10:48

heard him. Heard of this earlier this year, the

1:10:50

playoffs right when when Jordan across the cowboys so

1:10:52

got into your room and he barons ah but

1:10:54

otherwise yes agree that it's definitely a very viable

1:10:56

strategy or to wait wait wait at its own.

1:10:58

Want to sit near with like the Jared Goff

1:11:00

team in a in a ten Deamer. I.

1:11:03

Mean, I really hope that calling can like. I

1:11:05

hope he can take us to hard. I hope

1:11:07

calling takes the coating that he received today right?

1:11:09

Like were not. Yeah, Now we're not. Try nuts

1:11:11

or not here to protect your feelings. Call And

1:11:13

we're not. We're not. We're We're here to make

1:11:15

you better. I'm and I hope you really take

1:11:17

this. I mean

1:11:19

how could he not take this? very

1:11:22

serious? Pi has this entire very serious

1:11:24

exercise the heart. Andy Well, Barons.

1:11:26

Body appreciate you joining the show and

1:11:42

we are both very much looking forward to

1:11:44

my wife and I. But yes that is

1:11:46

going to do it for this show. I

1:11:48

make sure you read Andy's a mock draft

1:11:51

recap on the website if for nothing else

1:11:53

just to see him dunk on da da

1:11:55

donna Little cyber bullying of Donald on is

1:11:58

never a bad thing, but. Speaking

1:12:00

of Dalton Del Don, and I

1:12:02

say all this in jest because you guys know I love

1:12:04

Dalton, and on Tuesday Dalton is going to

1:12:07

join me for one last kind of like deep

1:12:09

dive on the NFL draft. Really what this is

1:12:11

just going to be is Dalton

1:12:13

is going to just drop hot takes and it's kind

1:12:15

of a heat check on those, you know, because this

1:12:18

is the time of the year for Dalton to start

1:12:20

getting the flamethrower ready. And I'm going to tell

1:12:23

him whether he needs to bow that heat back

1:12:25

or not. Obviously, like I said, that's going to

1:12:27

be on Tuesday. I'm not going to be here.

1:12:29

We're pre taping that one. So for full transparency,

1:12:31

we're going to do that on Friday. And

1:12:34

then it's going to publish next week. But

1:12:36

with all that detail, you didn't need to

1:12:38

know. Hopefully you're still excited about it. Until

1:12:41

then, we're out.
