Starting point is 00:00:03 What? Why are you shaking your head? You're welcome. All right. Welcome to the CFF All Access show. My name is Josh Chivalier at CFF Guys on X. I'm joined tonight by my boy, Zach Hall, the projections guru at CFF champs on X.
Starting point is 00:00:28 And man, excited to be in here tonight with you. How are you doing? Yeah, no, I'm good. I'm excited to do this. This is my first underdog best ball draft, so excited to see what it's. all about. Yeah. Well, hey, we're going to get right into it because these drafts lately have
Starting point is 00:00:45 been taking a little while to fill. So as, man, we're the first ones in here. So it could take us a while tonight to fill. So we'll just be chatting a little bit. Yeah, how are you feeling going into your first ever underdog best ball? Excuse me. I'm excited, man. I've only done one. One, Power 4 draft. So excited to take another run at this. It's my probably, I think it's my first one that's not a slow clock. So excited for that as well. I always like the, you know, just that rushy get of your pick coming up. So I'm very excited. I mean, obviously, have an underdog run the CFF best balls is pretty cool. So I'm glad I could finally jump on here with you.
Starting point is 00:01:39 and see what this is all about and try and put together a team here. Yeah. Yeah, it's going to be a fun night, man. I mean, you know, these are P4 only. You and I are used to draft in all FBS teams. And so this is a little bit of a shift even for us. But, you know, I've done about 10 to 12 of these so far. I feel like I'm getting a good lay of the land on here.
Starting point is 00:02:01 And so I thought this is a good question to start off with. Scott Coyote said new to CFB Best Bowl Mania, got any good tips for a newbie. Yeah, man, we got you. So I think the big, big tips that I have that I've seen in the drafts that I really liked is going QB and wide receiver early is a huge deal in these. There's running back depth that you can get in rounds 5 through 10, but I feel like if you walk away in the first four rounds without at least two QBs and one high end wide
Starting point is 00:02:35 receiver, then you're going to be hurting. Even earlier today, I went three QBs and two wide receivers in the first five rounds. And I really liked the build. I thought there was some solid running backs that was able to fall to me. I will tell you, Zach, this is a half PPR. I don't know if you saw that. Okay. But that's the format.
Starting point is 00:02:52 And then we have one QB and then a super flex, right? So we'll probably put a QB there, of course. Okay. And then two running backs, two wide receivers, one tied in, and then one flex. So two wide receivers. half PPR, I feel like that devalues the position a bit. Does that, is that going to play into your strategy for us tonight as we're kind of talking about this and drafting teams?
Starting point is 00:03:18 Yeah, I think it probably will just a little bit. It doesn't seem like it'll devalue those guys a whole lot, but I'm a guy that typically will be happy waiting on receiver anyways. So in a half PPR, you know, I guess it's going to probably. We change you just a little bit. But I guess for me, if you're going to get one of those top guys, it's not going to matter, right? It's going to be that high volume. You're still going to want that guy.
Starting point is 00:03:47 But I guess it doesn't change it too much for me. Yeah. Yeah. One of the things that I did, I have noticed, is that some of the slot receivers, like an Xavier or Strepo, who might be a more high volume guy, but not a lot of yards. I've seen them drop in a little bit. And so it feels like maybe the field in that way is letting those guys go just a little bit more. I understand that.
Starting point is 00:04:14 I mean, when you have a guy that gets a lot of receptions but it's half PPR, like those points don't go as far as a full PPR for sure. So, yeah, I think for me with that, it's, you know, some of these slot receivers early, I might be willing to wait on. Emeka Buka has been going pretty high in these drafts. And, you know, again, he's another one that I'll, say, hey, maybe I wouldn't draft them as high because of the half PPR in this format. So we're waiting on.
Starting point is 00:04:45 We got four in the draft so far. Hey, if you're in the chat and you want to join us on this draft, man, we got $2.50 with us. Like, we would love for you guys to join us. It would be fun to draft together as we are kind of breaking us down together as well. And I also wanted to share a little bit with you guys. we actually have at fantasy points we have a deal with underdog a special promotion that we're running here and they will match up to $250 and so as a 50% match if you put down $500 with underdog they'll match up to $250 of that and then also we're giving away $55 off of our college
Starting point is 00:05:28 football only subscription package here um so it's a $150 package $55 off that's over 30% it's a great deal. We are doing best ball rankings for underdog. We have projections. But, man, our bread and butter, honestly, is our projections for CFF and DFS. We write articles for almost every slate that's out there in DFS. And then we're going to do projected ownership this year as well. Zach and I have been messing around with that and figuring out how to give you guys some projected ownership for DFS. And then our projections last year were some of the tops in the industry. So I'm really excited about our, package, what we have coming, our props last year had at 63% rate. So all of those, you know, big time stuff. So that promo code for underdog is fantasy PTSD. PTS. So fantasy PTSD stands for
Starting point is 00:06:18 fantasy points. You can put that into Underdog and then use that over at Fantasy Points as well. So looking forward to that. Hey, we're going to take a quick break here and come right back as we wait for this room to fill up. All right. So, Zach, you know, one of the things that I've kind of noticed in these drafts is that, you know, the format getting into this is that you basically the first 11 weeks, you're in a pod together with 12 other players. And it's the top players in that pod, the two of the top 12 go to kind of the next round. And then from there, a certain number of people that goes to the next round each week. So, man, weeks 12 through 14 have greater importance, right than you know every other week so those are really the ones we want to pay attention to one of the
Starting point is 00:07:09 things that is different here than in like an NFL best ball is that in our playoffs in week 12 there's a lot of buy weeks there's 18 buys and in week 12 so I think that's definitely going to play a factor in these in these drafts any any kind of like thoughts or ideas behind like when you when you hear about that in the week 12 buys anything come to mind or any players come to mind yeah i'd need to go back and look at our uh schedule matrix to kind of see i mean this feels like the perfect kind of draft where um hopefully soon we can have our schedule matrix up uh where you can go and kind of see how guys compare because i think you're probably not only going to want to look at who has the buys but also what kind of matchups you have because i know um in week 12 some of those teams um um you're
Starting point is 00:08:03 could also have like that FCS type school. So that could depend on that. That value could also not be as great. You know, if you have like some of those SEC teams, like you always have kind of that FCS matchup right around that week 12. And you might only get them for half a game. Typically, they still get points. Maybe not as many as they get other weeks of the year.
Starting point is 00:08:29 But that's something else that I guess I would be thinking about. two is that week 12 is going to be really tough. And if you're able to manage that, I think you probably got a good chance if you can get there, right? But I'm just looking through right now. And yeah, so many teams with week 12 by this year. So that's going to, I'm sure that's a huge challenge. I know one thing I haven't been great at this year anyways is the buys.
Starting point is 00:09:02 and how they're lining up. And I've had a few drafts in, you know, full FBS where I'm like, oh, man, I got to find some guys that don't have the same buy when I'm getting kind of down towards the end of a draft. And I think you've got to start paying attention to that a little bit sooner here. And especially I think the way I would probably approach this, I haven't done one yet. So it'll be interesting to see. But my first few rounds, I would probably really be trying to balance that out and make. sure the guys on the board, what does that week 12, 13, and 14 look like? And if I have some of those top tier guys, second tier guys that don't have a buy, probably target them, even if maybe
Starting point is 00:09:47 they're a little bit down in the rankings just because of that scheduling. Yeah, that's a very, good point. And, you know, I think one of the things that I'm finding is that the more week 12 by quarterbacks that I have, the more that I am getting acquainted with who has good week 12 matchups. So that's something for me that's made a big difference. I'm going to walk you through a little bit here in our rankings and the guys that are going early in ADP. Actually, I'll do, I'll go not even by our rankings, but by ADP. I mean, you look at Dylan Gabriel. He doesn't have a week 12 buy, but he doesn't have a week 13. He's one of two teams with Washington and Oregon that week 13 buys and then you come back through here and then you come down to jackson dart which might
Starting point is 00:10:33 be why he's he's been slipping a little bit in ADP but he's got um a week 12 buy and then you got uh down here and like the range of quarterback to be like man there's some good value here kj jefferson week 12 by with ucf you have covering drones week 12 buy and then um even down a little bit lower you got Jackson Arnold with a week 12 buy and then Cam Ward who man I got him in the fifth round today but he's got a week 12 buy so normally I'd be like man stacking Arnold and drones or Arnold in Jefferson or Arnold and um ward like feels like it's like an awesome stack quarterback and then you go man I got to navigate the buy weeks here same thing with jackson dart so a lot of the guys that we like to target actually are guys that ultimately have these week 12
Starting point is 00:11:25 buys and so we got to navigate that and it may you know affect even kind of our roster construction yeah that's going to make it tough it makes it fun though um trying to piece it together yeah and you know a couple guys that i've been looking at um later and i'd love to get your thoughts on these guys um is a guy like Peyton thorn i mean from Auburn you see in week 12 they play ULM. So they have Louisiana Monroe that week. Drafting one of these guys earlier, even drafting two of them, then I'll look at a Peyton Thorne. I mean, he went around 14 in the draft I did today, and the guy's not going to average one in 20 fans for game, but because of the week 12 matchup.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Yeah, I mean, I think that's what you're going to have to do is try and find some of those guys to just help out. Because the other thing we don't really know about right now is going to be injury, right? And you might think you're set on week 12 or even a week 13 if you take one of those guys, but just making sure you have pretty solid depth. And a guy like that, I guess I'm not too familiar with where he's going yet, but could be a really nice later round guy. And even if it's just for, hey, I just want this guy for, you know, that week 12 game, because you're right, that's probably going to be one of his best games. on the season where he's he's getting right around 20 points,
Starting point is 00:12:53 but that's a game where he's probably got a little bit higher ceiling than than the rest of his, the rest of the season there. Yep, yeah, we're waiting on four more people to join. So if you're here watching us and you want to join us, we'd love for you to join us and to be with us on this. Yeah, another quarterback man that I'm looking at here is Kentucky quarterback Brock Vandergriff,
Starting point is 00:13:15 a guy that I never thought of before last week. as a guy that I'd want to pick up, but he's got Murray State in week 12. And so, you know, again, it's like if these are guys that if I got Cam Ward and Jackson Arnold that I'm stacking because they're good values, then, you know, coming back around with a Brock Vannegriff or a Peyton Thorne is a totally viable option in my opinion in this type of format. Yeah, so there's a guys like.
Starting point is 00:13:44 I got a question for you. Because another thing that it looks like we might have to navigate as you're drafting through here, another favorable matchup, Washington State has New Mexico in week 12. But we don't necessarily know who that QB is going to be. So you almost have to use, it feels like limited roster spots as it is, but you might have to use two if you want to try and get that. Are those, like when are those guys going? Are they going pretty early? So John Metteer is going. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:14 He's going round 10. people are drafting him as if he's going to be the guy. As we know, as, you know, we've watched this really closely, this offseason, this battle, that Zvi Eckhaus, you know, might be the guy in weeks 12 through 14. And so, honestly, I think it's a must handcuff. And if I'm not liking what I've done is if I don't like the guys that I've gotten early on or I've had to fade QBs for whatever reason, then I will handcuff Mattier and Eckhouse. in fact, I might just go ahead and just draft Eckhouse even late in some of these as a, you know, kind of risky guys.
Starting point is 00:14:54 And so that's one. DJ Lagway is another one that we've been talking about quite a bit as a guy that like Graham Mertz has some, or Florida has some good matchups late late in the season, LSU, Ole Miss, Florida State that could be, you know, really shootouts, at least the LSU and Ole Miss game. and Grand Mertz might not be starting at that point, depending on what their wins and losses. And, you know, it's a tough schedule. Billy Napier is going to be on the hot seat. So DJ Lagway could come in and put up 30 points a game, those last couple of games like Nico or Avery did in the bowl game.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Any thoughts on that type of strategy of going after like a lagway or an Eckhouse late? That's interesting. I probably wouldn't have really thought to even do that. But it's definitely an interesting strategy. You know, I think it's a little bit risky just because you're trying to, you're making some assumptions and down narrative street for sure. Yeah. I don't hate it though.
Starting point is 00:15:56 And I think it's it's one of those. You've got to kind of see how your roster falls to see if it really fits. Especially if you feel really good about maybe a top top two guys that you get early and you can kind of take that chance. I'd feel a little bit better. If you feel like that position's a little bit weaker, I myself probably would stay away from something like that because you're really going to have to count on, you know,
Starting point is 00:16:23 it's just going to be a little bit riskier for me. It's risky, yeah. Totally. And I think like when, you know, one of the things that I've been talking about with some guys when I've come on these live streams is that, you know, we're used to drafting with 12 guys, right, in a single best ball and winning that best ball. And this is different because it gets into kind of the, you know, the GPP strategies of, you know, of a DFS where you got to win those last three weeks.
Starting point is 00:16:55 And it doesn't really, if you just get to the, the week 12, you win $5, you know. And so you've lost 50% of the money that you put in. And so, you know, coming down to that. end and trying to get some home runs at the end feels like a strategy that you might have to take. I will say this, and we've been talking about these in the chats too and these live streams, is that you need three to four QBs in the first 10 rounds. Like you need to build a solid, really solid base there. And if you do that, then you can take the shot on a neck house.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Hey, you might have mentioned this. Is it four point passing touchdown or six? It's four point. Four point, okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So it definitely, you know, leans towards our dual threat, Konami Code quarterbacks that we like. Yep. So all this is good. Hey, you know, real quick, everyone too, we, you know, I told you guys that we had some best ball rankings for Underdog up on our site.
Starting point is 00:17:56 We actually just updated those today. Just adjusted for these QBs going higher than we're in our rankings. We have a CSV sheet that you can upload. that's what we got here in the chat is we have our rankings uploaded here in and best ball our underdog making it really easy to do that so you have your ranks over here and then your ADP and so we can adjust by our ranks and see what we got here so we got all that up on the site and updated we have some positional tier our tiered positional rankings coming out froton did that so they're a little bit different than mine but love that from froton and we'll be
Starting point is 00:18:36 releasing those within the next day or two as well. So, yeah, I think we got it pretty good, pretty good, you know, stuff coming for you guys here on our website for to prep you for these best balls. Hey, we're going to take one more break here. We've got one person we're waiting on here to fill this room. We'll take one more break here and then we'll be right back. All right. Hey, I got a question for you, Josh. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Yeah. So you've done quite a few of these. Are you finding some really good values with our ranks according to the ADP? Or has it been pretty close to kind of where we're at? Yeah. No, I think there's some great values according to our ADP. Even you can see here, you have by ranks, go by running backs. We were doing this with, you know, even today with Neil kind of walking through some of these.
Starting point is 00:19:34 And like Damien Martinez, right? We haven't ranked 21 in our overall rankings. He's going at 34. Damian Martinez, you can. At the beginning of the last week, you're getting them the fourth or fifth round. So again, with those week 12 buys, I think they are affecting the way that people are drafting. All right, we have our slot here. We got the third slot.
Starting point is 00:19:55 So this is an interesting slot in drafts because we're basically deciding between, you know, Ollie Gordon would probably go number one. And so do we go a top flight wide receiver in Teteroa McMillan or Luther Burden and then wait for QBs to fall to us or do we try to go after Dylan Gabriel knowing he has that week 13 by? So, you know, we got about a minute until this draft or 30 seconds until this draft starts. For you, what do you want to do here? Do you want to go wide receiver or QB? I'm assuming Ollie Gordon is gone. Yeah, and we're going third here.
Starting point is 00:20:29 So I like to go QB early. anyways. It feels like that might make the most sense here, especially if Gabriel's there. So I really like Gabriel this year. I think, I know the schedule is a little bit tougher from what he's used to, but he was such a consistent quarterback. And he has been really for, you know, all the years we've had him. It seems like he's been playing forever through UCF in Oklahoma. But he's one of those top tier guys that is very consistent, has a really high floor. and he can give you a pretty high ceiling. And I think in that offense, he might not run it as much as we've seen in the past.
Starting point is 00:21:08 I think he probably still could. But that offense is going to score points. They're going to move the ball. There's going to be a lot of yards there for him. He's got really good weapons. So that's a guy that I like to draft just because I know what I'm going to get with him. Boom. And he went.
Starting point is 00:21:28 So spent all that time talking about him only for us to do. take. So here I like burden a little bit more. Yeah, I do too. You know, I think the Teta Romeroa McMillan injury, right? Like we don't know if he's going to be healthy for fall camp. I think that
Starting point is 00:21:45 definitely, you know, takes the cake for Luther burden here. But why do you like Luther burden? So I feel like so partly because I know this isn't very popular that, so he's in a new system this year. and there is some value there,
Starting point is 00:22:04 but I don't know if the value is going to be quite the same for him. I think we know what we're going to have with Luther Burden. We know what that offense is going to be capable of doing. I think there's, I feel like there's going to just be a little bit more for burden this year. And the injury piece is a big part of it too, right? I really like Ted early on. The injury kind of held me back. And then I don't know if the.
Starting point is 00:22:29 ceiling is going to be as high for this year as it was last year. I feel like, I feel like he's still, you know, he's a, he's my number two receiver. So I say that and he's, he's got a lot of value. But I like, I just like Luther Bird. And I think there feels like more upside at least right now for him in that often. Yeah. I mean, he's super explosive. You know, he can take a two-yard screen pass to the house at any point.
Starting point is 00:22:54 A couple of interesting observations here. So wakey, wakey, he's done a lot of these underdog mess. ball drafts with me. He usually goes, I've seen him go QB quite a bit and, you know, three QBs in the first four rounds. You know, today I said that and then he didn't, he didn't do that earlier. But this is also interesting. Evan Stewart is actually not usually going before Tess Johnson and draft. Nice. I like it. I got Evan Stewart ahead. Yeah, that makes sense. I haven't seen Evan Stewart go before Tess in a long time. So, but I think, I think we're on the same page there.
Starting point is 00:23:28 I think we both have Stewart ahead of, of Taz in our rankings. Yeah. And go ahead. I'm just watching it as we go. And I mean, you're right. It's, I'm not used to seeing so many QBs go off in that, that first round. So definitely, uh, those are definitely going off the board quick. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:45 And you'll see like Avery Johnson, who goes a lot higher than what we see typically in, uh, the drafts that we do. I mean, he's usually the sixth or seventh QB off the board here. Jackson Dart again is falling I'm just curious Jackson Dart early on was like the second QB off the board and you know
Starting point is 00:24:03 people have been waiting and I think it's the week 12 buys that people are starting to get wise on that and so a guy like Jackson Dart is now dropping into the second round and he's one that has has a week 12 buy do they have so do they show the buys on here
Starting point is 00:24:20 they don't so we have to go off of our spray cheap. Okay. Oh, carp golf just took our boy Jackson Arnold. Carp's in the draft. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, here, I think these are usually the QBs.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Avery Johnson will go here in a minute. But after he goes, those are really the top, what, eight, seven QBs that go in that range. And then you'll have guys like KJ Jefferson, Kyron Jones, Shador Sanders, that'll go kind of in the next tier of of QBs. Another one here that has been rising quite a bit in this format is a Devon Neal. Yeah. Devin Neal is a guy.
Starting point is 00:25:05 I mean, the schedule for Kansas is obvious. We really love that, right? And then you see that BYU, Colorado, and Baylor, Weeks 12 through 14. So to me, that also shows a lot of value for a guy like Jalen Daniels, where maybe in most drafts, I'd wait for him to drop in double digits, but in this format where the schedule is really going to matter down the stretch,
Starting point is 00:25:28 and he's a guy that can put up 40 points in a game, you know, I think there's some value there. Man, Phil Moff, I've never seen him go this late. So that was a great value by Wakey. So we're up in three picks, man. So we got, you know, Jaden Ott, Jordan James,
Starting point is 00:25:44 kind of at the top of our queue. and then yeah, then we have a little bit down here we got Shador Sanders. I'm going to go to QBs real quick so we can see them. But Kim Ward,
Starting point is 00:25:56 Karen Jones, Schroar Sanders all kind of in that range. And so KJ. Jefferson went 2.5. You know, here, we got Tage Brooks here that we could take.
Starting point is 00:26:11 We could go Jeremy Bernard, Xavier Estrepo. Anything stick out to you? Um, so I would probably lean running back here. Um, we'll come around. I'm going to go to Tage Brooks. Yep. I like that.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Sorry, the 32nd clock, man. Yeah, you got to go. You got to go. Yeah, no, I like touch. I think, I don't know if he'll see the volume he had last year, but, um, I, I, I just don't know if that offense is going to be able to throw the ball like they want to. And he's going to be a big piece of that offense. So, yeah, I totally agree. And I, you know, I think too, you know, I mean, I mean, I, I mean,
Starting point is 00:26:44 with Taj Brooks. Yeah, he's in a half-p-r format. I'm a more comfortable drafting him than the other formats. We could come here. So we're up again. Yeah, QBs, right, drones, Castellanos just went. So Jeremy Bernard or Trey Harris. I mean, I know you probably lean Harris.
Starting point is 00:27:07 I lean Bernard here. I'm with you. Okay. Yeah. I just think he's going to be the guy in that offense. I do too. I mean, you can talk about that offense real quick. Yeah, I mean, he's familiar with the system. I know historically, he doesn't have a ton of production, but we know what that offense is going to give us. And it's, you know, you saw what they what they had with a Dune's A last year. And when Bernard was actually in there, I thought he did all right. He's a guy that I picked up or had in Dynasty and held on to just because he,
Starting point is 00:27:44 I felt like he's a guy that's really going to make an impact. I loved his move to Alabama. I actually liked it more than him staying in Washington. So that's, and the other thing about Trey Harris, I think he's got a pretty high ceiling, but I think his floor is going to be a little bit lower. They just have more options it feels like right now, and he was kind of a little bit of boom and bust last year,
Starting point is 00:28:07 where I think Bernard will be a little bit more consistent with a good high end. Yeah, I totally agree. I mean, he was the fourth wide receiver at Washington last year, but man, he's got a wide open wide receiver room, right? Yeah. There where he's at in Alabama. I mean, you're talking about potentially the wide receiver too by the end of the year. He's a freshman that, you know, skipped a senior year of high school. So, you know, yeah, I really like that.
Starting point is 00:28:36 I mean, I just want to shout out carp real quick. He's, you know, he's in the comments. He's in this draft. The start of Nico Jackson. and Arnold and Damien Martinez is a great start to address. I really like that. Yeah. That's really solid.
Starting point is 00:28:50 Especially if you're talking about, you know, we talked a lot about quarterback to begin with and those are just two really solid guys. They're both top 10 guys for us. Yeah. Martinez, I think I have him right around the top 10 as a running back too. So, yeah. And we've talked about Martinez a lot and just how many carries he's going to get this year and really should be a bell cow in that offense. So, um, yeah, really solid. Yeah. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:29:19 I really like to start that draft. Um, and, you know, I think, you know, you can see here and we'll see it as it comes about, but, you know, running backs, there's going to be a lot of value. And again, and there's like six to 10 rounds that we should be able to like feed off of that. So I like, you know, us being able to start with Burden and Bernard. That's a very solid one-two combat wide receiver. They're going to get a lot of volume, but also potentially get a lot of yards too. And then Taj Brooks, you know, in a half-PPR format, I'm more than happy to take a running back that's gotten 250 carries or more in the last couple years.
Starting point is 00:29:54 So I think they can lean on them again. Go ahead. Yeah. What quarterbacks are we looking at available right now? Yeah, so we'll pivot back over there. So Cam Ward, Jalen Daniels are the two top ones in our rankings. Then Howard, Preston Stone, Carson Beck. I honestly I mean you can see that the ADP for Jalen Daniels a few days ago he was like in the 70s
Starting point is 00:30:19 Oh, so he's starting to rise up a little bit Yeah, you know, people if he stays healthy Really solid quarterback yeah, he's gonna get your points It's just that health factor with him Yeah so if we get it here I'm gonna I'm gonna go Cam Ward and come back around with Jaylon Daniels I like that But nothing ever goes how you wanted to go. But if it does, then, yeah, I like Cam Ward there. I mean, at this juncture,
Starting point is 00:30:48 you have three 800-yard receivers that he's thrown to there and then a solid running back. And we saw what Cam Ward get eight touchdowns last year, I think on the ground. Yeah. He, yeah, I think he's going to be so good in that offense. He's a guy that just continues to rise up in my rankings. I, you know, and then to go back on that, Jalen Daniels, if he stays healthy and we talk about that week, 12 through 14. We talked about it with Devon Neal. That is such a good schedule for a quarterback if he's still there or still healthy. With BYU at BYU and Colorado, just those two alone, he should he should be really good. And then Baylor was not great last year like we had seen the past few years. So I really love the the week 12 through 14 we get with with Daniels as long as he's healthy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:39 No, absolutely. And what we've done. with this build is you have Cam Ward and Jalen Daniels. So you have Cam Ward with a week 12 by, but he is an easier quarterback to stack than most of these top end quarterbacks because you can get his stacking partner later, right? You can get a Sam Brown or jacobah George in double-digit rounds in these drafts. So you don't have to spend the high draft capital on an Xavier Strepo or like when we were looking at Gabriel. We couldn't have gotten as Stuart Ortez Johnson, right? Right.
Starting point is 00:32:08 Early on because they just were going to go. I'm going to start filling up the queue here with some skill position guys. You got Dionne Burks, Basil Tutin. I'm putting in a nice day of bond. So some of these guys we can look at as we're coming back around. And then, you know, maybe it does suit as well to look at John Metteer. If he's still there, you know, around 10-ish. Because, again, that's a guy that can have a great skill.
Starting point is 00:32:40 schedule down the stretch as long as we we pair them up with handcuff them with with the zviak house yeah i and i like i mean we mentioned i love that schedule new mexico and oregon state um 12 and 13 and then wyoming who again you know they should they should fare um pretty well against that defense even though they've been okay against g5 uh they should do pretty well there um the other thing too you know i've stayed away from henderson and Singleton a little bit. But when you think about like a Power 4, Henderson just went, I actually like those guys quite a bit here just because they could have a pretty solid floor.
Starting point is 00:33:25 But they're going to have their weeks where they go off, especially Singleton, right? That one thing I have, I haven't done a lot, but I wish I would have done more, is Gitts Singleton and Allen, just because their ADP is so far apart. full drafts. Interesting to see what it is here. But if you can grab both of those guys, one of those guys is going to go off pretty much every week. So it could be a really solid strategy with those two guys.
Starting point is 00:33:52 And I think back to Henderson, I think they're going to run the ball a lot this year. Yep. So just really, really solid guys there. Yeah. And you can see the run on QBs here, right? I mean, in round five, like we picked, you know, Jamie Daniels at 51, but you had five qubs go off in a row, three quibs before that, right?
Starting point is 00:34:14 So 8, 10, I mean, look, 15. So you got 24 qubs going off in the first five rounds. It just kind of goes to show you how people are prioritizing the position. So we can go Nick Singleton here if we want. I don't mind that. We need another running back. Yeah, I also like Fegan. What is there?
Starting point is 00:34:34 I think I like him. I think I like, what's that? We can probably get him next round. 84 80p yeah he's just he's a he's a he's a running back guy really like i think he's going to be the guy in that offense um yeah yeah i say we try to come back and snag him here okay so we got singleton nice yeah we got singleton i like the upside of a play like that as all i mean again with what you're saying with henderson and singleton if the other running back in that committee gets hurt they're going to have so much volume that the value in where you're taking them is just incredible
Starting point is 00:35:09 Yeah. And I mean, we've spent a lot of time on this pod talking about Andy Koldnacki, right, the OC there. And I love his running backs. You know, he uses those running backs. So yeah. All right. Kaden Fegan just went. So do you want to go. We got Caleb Jackson, Jade on Blue at the top. We can go Nick Anderson, Rashad Owens, Kobe Hudson, Cam Cook. And we're on that. We got to make a decision, don't we? Who is at the top there? Caleb Jackson. We can be Caleb Jackson, yeah. Yeah. That's probably the, I don't think I've ever taken Caleb Jackson. My only concern there would be if they use a committee approach a little bit. Seems like he's probably the best running back in that room.
Starting point is 00:35:57 That's the only thing that would scare me off. But like the talent is there. And the system, you know, I think it could be really good. But if there is a committee approach, it could hurt his values. value a little bit. Yeah, totally. Yeah. And, you know, I think one of the things with the committee approach, it's like, man, if they do that with Josh Williams again, it just means that Kevin Jackson just is beyond incompetent at past protection because he's clearly heading above, you know, better than than the counterpart in Josh Williams as a runner.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Yeah. So, Cam Cook is another one here. putting him in the queue, but he's the one that's been, you get him in round 10-ish. Yeah, he's been one of my favorite later round, not late round, but a little bit later running backs that you can get. I was big on Tray Sanders early on, mostly because I just wanted that running back in the system, wasn't too sure who it was going to be. But once Cam Cook took off in spring ball, it was, you know, I pivoted to him and he was a value. I really like.
Starting point is 00:37:11 He's starting to go a little bit high, but I really like that value there. Yeah. And in these draft, I mean, you can see the ADPs 1.02. It was in the 120 range. I mean, you're getting them around 10. And it just felt like you're getting such a steel in that range of running back. So we'll look at our team real quick. We got, we're up in six picks.
Starting point is 00:37:33 But Cam Ward and Jaila Daniels, I really like that start at QB. John Mateer just went to 8 so he's even popping up even more but then we got Taj Brooks next single 10 and Caleb Jackson at running back and then we have Luther and Bird and Jeremy Bernard at wide receiver and we don't have a tight end yet so so yeah what do you want to tack next year we have three picks and so we're up I kind of feel like I almost want to take another receiver Okay. Top of our cue is we got Badger, Moore, Cook, Jeremiah Hunter, Josh Meredith.
Starting point is 00:38:14 Oh, Nick Anderson just went. I was hoping we could get Anderson there. Yeah. So I don't love Badger. I don't think I would take him. Jordan Moore would be okay. I think he's consistent. It'll be interesting to see. He's gone. So, John Take Cook. I like cook. I think you like Cook, too. I don't know if it's too early for him, but.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Yeah. I mean, if it is, it's a rounder. You know, let's do this. Maybe it's night here, but let's go Connor Wegman. Okay. Yeah, I like that because he has a really good week 12, I believe. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:52 Thinking week 12, A&M plays New Mexico State and they got Auburn. Yeah, that's a good pick there. Yeah, so I think we've gotten really good value at quarterbacks here. And then, yeah, we're talking about John Tick Cook just now. So if he does come back to us, then we can go him. Go ahead. What are we going to say? Yeah, and I don't know if that's a little early.
Starting point is 00:39:15 I also still like Jeremiah Hunter. I know Boston's kind of been the guy that's going early, but Hunter's a guy that I still really like. Do we, when do tight-ins typically go in these drafts? We probably need to pick one up next round. Okay. All right. So, Jontay Cook just went to Dardog.
Starting point is 00:39:36 You want to go Jeremiah Hunter? Yeah, if you're okay with that. Yeah. I think it's a great, great pick in this range. So I'll show you some of this ADP on these tight ends. 1-18, so right around, round 10 for Jake Burning Stool. Luke Haas is going at 127, so right in the 11th round range. And then Justin Jolie is around the same.
Starting point is 00:39:59 And that's really where the tight ends are going off is you hit double digits, and they start to go. You can see ADP here. So, kid and pre-scorn. Yeah, those guys are going ahead of, so RJ Maryland seems like that could be a solid value.
Starting point is 00:40:15 He's a guy to me that could. He's got a good ceiling in the tight end room and seems to be pretty consistent. He's a red zone target, which I really like. And until we really get that wide receiver one in that offense, I think we can rely on more. RJ Maryland a little bit more to get us some points.
Starting point is 00:40:37 Yep. Yeah. So if we went RJ, we could probably target him in the 10th round here. I'm also good. I actually like those tight ends, right? Any of those top three we have in the queue. Well, what we might do then is if, depending on what happens with these running backs here, with Blue and Johnson, they've both fallen here a little bit.
Starting point is 00:40:59 According to 80PS, Johnson could still fall in the range. we try to pick one of them up and then get a tight-in on the back-in. Yeah, I'm good with that. What we've been doing here is a draft and two tight-ins. So we can get one here and then wait until later on and see who we like. Chris Bell is another wide receiver that kind of goes in this range that has high upside. Yeah, I like that. I also think Xavier Henderson.
Starting point is 00:41:27 I saw him down there. Yeah, we can definitely look at both of those. are going in this range. And then I'm trying to, let's see what we got with QB. So this is, like, so QB is here. You can see, this is ADP, right? But so we took, you mean, Child just went around 10, right? But, but we took Conradleman at 103 and DJU, Rocco Beck, DeQuan, Finn, Cape
Starting point is 00:41:57 Clement. I mean, these are the guys that are left here. And it's the ADP is quite a bit of a drop. So, yeah, you can see some good ones here. Our queue, so we're up. So we got, do we want to go RJ Maryland here and then see if Xavier Henderson falls to us? Yeah, I'm good with that. What do you like about Xavier Henderson this year?
Starting point is 00:42:20 So last year, I think he's got a little bit better quarterback play. This year with Sorsby there. We saw, he was pretty solid with. Emery Jones last year. And I just feel like that's an upgrade. We've talked about Swar's B a little bit on some of our other pods. Yeah. And he's going to be that wide receiver one there.
Starting point is 00:42:44 I feel like that's an offense where even though you don't look at it as big time passing offense, but he's kind of the alpha dog in that wide receiver room. And I think there's just going to be some really good weeks for him when you're looking at, you know, wide receiver. four or five. He's just a really solid guy to get. He kind of falls in that Jordan Moore for me. Probably not as high of a floor, but I just like what you're going to get with him consistency-wise.
Starting point is 00:43:19 Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to start to fill back up the queue here. Man, well, you know what? We got 15 picks. So maybe I'll run through some of this. I mean, look, again, like this just goes to show. We talked about getting three to four Q.
Starting point is 00:43:33 in the first 10 rounds. Look at rounds 8 through 10 of QBs. John Mateer, round 8. Donovan Smith, round 8. And then you got Tyler Shuck, round 9, Taylor and Green, Lenore Sellers, Chuck Hoover.
Starting point is 00:43:47 I'm telling you this dude and Sorsby were both going in like rounds 14 through 16. Oh, man. Two days ago. Three days ago. I didn't, Ed and Charles is another one. Same thing.
Starting point is 00:43:58 Go ahead. Yeah. I was just going to say, even in round nine, that feels like really good value for Hoover and Sorsby. be. So if you were able to get them later on, pretty good value.
Starting point is 00:44:08 But yeah, it's quarterbacks. It feels like they're just getting pushed up more and more. Yeah. And it could be just the draft that we're in right now, right? You know, because I didn't see this even earlier today that guys are going this high. But you see these run on QBs. And so you just got to, you know, I feel like, honestly, like, this is maybe the best, one of the better drafts have had as far as value falling to us, right?
Starting point is 00:44:36 Like we're kind of getting the bottom end of the same tier or a good tier with both Cam Moore or Jaylon Daniels and Connor Wegman. It really gives us a solid base here to build off for our team in QB position without, you know, without getting one of the studs. All right. We want to go next. We got three running backs, three quarterbacks, four wide receivers, one tight end. So we're pretty well spaced out.
Starting point is 00:45:04 Quarterbacks we probably don't need to get for a little while, just because there's not a lot of value in this range. But we got Jordan Waters here, Joe Nicoleman. We have, so let's look at ADP, actually. So quality quickly is the guy Rahim Sanders, Elijah Surat, Kelly Ackerayri goes here. Jadarian Price is a guy that I've, you know, in this format they have a really good schedule.
Starting point is 00:45:34 We're up in two. So we're going to have to make some quick decisions here. I know you like Jordan Waters quite a bit. I think that's a good pick. I'm still, like, Hempi is a guy I still really like, and I feel like he's just such a good value too. Yeah, you know, we were talking about that. I can't remember if it was me and Matt was Spay,
Starting point is 00:45:55 but it might have been actually J.D. Yankee, but man, like, great time. But they never use them as much as they should. Right. You know what I'm saying? And it's frustrating because he's so talented. It feels like he's an NFL back to me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:13 No, I completely agree with you on that. He's a guy that I'm trying to look at where I have him right now. It's not. He's a guy that when I project him, I want to project more than what he's actually going to do, you know? Yeah. Okay, real quick. Let's go wide receiver here. You want Sarat, Akarari, or Samuel Brown?
Starting point is 00:46:39 I like Akkarari. I don't know how to say it. All right. So, Surat, the only thing I worry about there is I like the talent. I love the offense. I just, the concern with me is always going to be that step up in competition for coaching staff and a lot of the players. and how well do they adjust to the Big Ten?
Starting point is 00:47:04 We see it a lot with these guys coming up from the group of five. And they, you know, we get a few guys every so often that does really well and can excel. But we don't see it as often in the Big Ten. And I think it was a great hire by Indiana to bring those guys in. But year one, there just is a lot that I feel like there's going to be a lot of lumps. but to the flip side, I think Surat's going to have a couple games where he just goes off and he's going to have some really good weeks. It's going to be inconsistent.
Starting point is 00:47:40 Yeah, yeah. And you can see, I mean, people are on him pretty early, right? I mean, 12980P, that's 10th round, and now, you know, we're in round 14 almost and he hasn't gone yet. I want to look at our running backs real quick. We got Tage Brooks, Nick Singleton, Caleb Jackson, Jordan Waters. You were asking about Ketron Allen, and I'm not sure if he, yeah, he's still there. We could try to lock up that Penn State room. I like that.
Starting point is 00:48:10 There's going to be so much value there this year between those two guys. I just feel like if you get both of those guys, you're going to have a top running back every single week. And that's how it was last year. It was either Singleton or Allen were a top 12 running back last year. Yeah. Yeah, and, you know, some of the guys that I really like in this range, too, at running back, you got Levi-on Moss that a lot of people are on Ruben Owens. And I, nothing has told us that Ruben Owens is going to be the guy. So that's purely conjecture, whereas we've gotten quite a bit of reports that Levy on Moss will at least be the first running back out.
Starting point is 00:48:51 Levyon, he's one of my most, like, I have him, like one of the guys I've drafted the most because you can get him so late in these other drafts we've done. And like you said, I mean, he's kind of the forgotten guy there. And I feel like he's,
Starting point is 00:49:09 he's such a good value with where you can get him. And I've tried to get him in any draft that I can. Yeah. Yeah. Him and, you know, again, like Roydell Williams is another one that he's going to be the guy at least week one.
Starting point is 00:49:24 And I think he holds on to that job. but they really like him. He had a good spring. He had a really good spring too. Yeah. So he's a guy that I really like in that range. As we talk about, these guys are going off the board court.
Starting point is 00:49:37 But that's how it goes. But those are some running backs that I think are really good values. Even like a, you know, you can get Moon. You can get Jeremiah Love kind of later in these. I don't hate Mockaby either. Just because I don't know. though they used him a lot. He might not have as much value.
Starting point is 00:49:59 I think he was used a little bit in that passing game last year, but he had some really good weeks. And in a format like this, when you're looking at a RB4, RB5, give you a four to five really solid weeks. He could be a decent pick down here. It feels like I've taken him a few times. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:50:19 All right. We are up in one pick. What we're going to do here is we're going to, get a pick in here and then we're going to take a quick break after that man all these guys roydell williams just went um so let's go go levi on moss jeremiah i love i like levi on moss a little bit better i think yeah i agree all right we're going to take levi on moss take a quick break here and then we will be right back all right um we have four more picks till we're up um let's see what we've got we've fallen here.
Starting point is 00:50:57 So Chris Tyree he was going to you know you can see his ADP he was going he was going even higher like 136 people are really on him early he's been dropping of late and then Chris Hudson is a guy that you can get in this range
Starting point is 00:51:14 you know we're kind of getting in the range of like we want to start taking some shots right? Yeah. shots on some of these guys and we're going to need to in at the quarterback position here too probably after this pick but anything here that you want um anything stick out to you chris hudson tyree i do i do like chris hudson he's a bit of a risk um but he's he's a guy that high risk high reward right if he's that slot guy in that offense
Starting point is 00:51:46 um he's a he's a top 10 guy and yeah pretty much every week so i do like him there i also like how you got Kobe Pace in the queue. He's a guy that feels like it's slowly rising for us. Each time we do an update, he continues to rise up the ranks. Yep. Yeah, I totally get that. Yeah, he's a guy that, you know, again, you want, you know, I don't love running backs on bad teams. I think that can be a recipe for disaster and, you know,
Starting point is 00:52:18 from a consistency perspective. But in best ball, where you just know, need them to have a couple of boom weeks. Kobe Pace can probably do that. So, all right, we are kind of down in that range of we need to start looking at. We got three quarterbacks early on, but we probably need to look at our fourth or fifth, QBs here. So I'm going to put Peyton Thorne and Brock Vandergriff in the Q.
Starting point is 00:52:45 Are there QBs that you, you know, that stick out to you? Um, I, it's probably early, but Luke Altmyer, Illinois doesn't have, his schedule's not bad. Um, if you're looking at week 12 through 14. He's not got a ton of upside, but, um, you could also, you could probably look at the Graham Mertz, um, DJ Lagway here as well, um, if you wanted to go that route. Um, I have not been bold enough to actually go that route. Yeah. It's, it's, uh, I, so with our build right now. I don't know if I would, just because the Jalen Daniels injury factor kind of has me.
Starting point is 00:53:24 But it seems like a good spot to do it. I probably like the Peyton Thorne pick here. Malik Murphy's interesting. I feel like he could be pretty solid. I think his ceiling's going to be. It's not going to be super high, though, but I think he's going to be fairly consistent in that offense. And so when you're thinking about a guy. that's a QB2.
Starting point is 00:53:50 He could be a solid QB2 for you if you have a guy that, you know, you just need a guy that's going to get you get you some points. Do you want to go Altmire or do you want to go Murphy? I would probably go, are we on the clock? Yes. Sorry, I was trying to look at their schedules. Murphy has the buy. I probably would lean towards Altmire. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Good thing you lean that because that's where we went. He's got Michigan State. Rutgers and Northwestern. I just feel like there's, we don't need him to be an all-star or anything, but we just need him to put up some points. And those are three matchups that quarterbacks did fairly well, not so much Rutgers, but that week 12 against Michigan State could be a good fill in for us. And then Northwestern, I think quarterbacks were pretty, did pretty well against them last year as well. Yeah. Let me, let me ask you this question about Jamal Banks. I know you've, been drafting him.
Starting point is 00:54:50 Do you feel like he's a guy with, I mean, their playoff schedule is pretty nice, actually. You know, Nebraska gets USC Wisconsin and Iowa, but you have USC in that first week 12. Yeah. That could have some upside. What do you think about him? I like Banks. I think he's going to be one of the top receivers for them. I actually like Fadoni better at that tight end. I think he's going to be more of a red zone guy.
Starting point is 00:55:18 but I think Banks is going to be a guy that, again, they look at in the red zone. Receiver-wise, I like him because he's going to have a few weeks that he just goes off. Yeah. And I think you've probably noticed in a lot of my drafts I've tried to take Fadoni and Banks. Kind of approach it the same way I would Penn State running backs, right? I feel like it's going to be those two guys. Jalen Lloyd's also a big threat or big play threat, so he'll probably have some really good weeks. but I just think Banks is going to be a very consistent receiver for them and a red zone target.
Starting point is 00:55:50 And then I think Fadoni at that tight end position, red zone target. And I think they want to get him more involved. They've talked a lot about getting them involved and Satterfield moved to the tight end room this year. So the OC in the tight end room makes me think that possibly a little bit more, a few more targets for that room. Yeah. one thing with Nebraska because they have a week seven and week 11 by which is the same as RJ Maryland so they don't pair well together if we do that we got to go Elijah Arroyo but Elijah Arroyo is week seven week tall by so we probably
Starting point is 00:56:32 need to look at some other tight ends here those two guys don't really fit with with what we have not good built we could do Arles boardingham from Florida is a guy that we could go. Let's see. Cole Taylor, what does West Virginia's look like? They got Baylor, UCF, and Texas Tech. Cole Taylor could be a solid. Oh, Keanu Hill.
Starting point is 00:56:57 He's one of my favorite guys to take. And they have Kansas, Arizona State, and Houston. I almost think you look at. Yeah. So they got week six, week 10, and then SMU has 3-7-11. All right, let's do Keanu Hill. I love that. Yeah, I mean, Keanu Hill, right?
Starting point is 00:57:18 Former wide receiver, you know, turned, tied in. I mean, it could be an absolute beast at the tight-in position. Have you heard any reports specifically about him or just noticed that he's changed his name? No. I did read a little bit. He's supposed to be, they're kind of an impact guy. There wasn't, but what I read, it was just like, they have like four or five receivers. that are kind of, you know, it's almost like receiver by committee there.
Starting point is 00:57:47 And Keanu Hill was in that mix. But to me, at that tight end position, you don't need him to be, you know, getting 100 targets, right? So I think he's supposed to, it sounds like he's going to, he should make an impact in that offense. He's going to be a guy that they rely on in that passing game. So a guy I'm pretty excited about this year, just where you're getting him the value you could have with him late in these drafts. Yep, yeah, I totally agree. All right, I think some of those quarterbacks we were targeting are gone. So Peyton Thorne went.
Starting point is 00:58:21 Let's see, De Brock Van derrick went. So we could come back with Murphy here if we felt like we needed a fifth quarterback. I'd be good with that. Or, yeah, him or MJ Morris. Oh, no, he just went. of course So we're just going to go M.J. Morris.
Starting point is 00:58:45 So what are your you know, I ask the same question to on the stream with J.D. Yonke. What do you think the percentage of chance is that M.J. Morris is the starter for the entire season this year. Yeah, I don't,
Starting point is 00:58:58 the entire season. I don't know. I don't feel great about M.J. Morris. He's a guy. I was really excited for him at NC State because of that offense and I just felt like his skill set really fits the Robert and I offense. Maryland just he won't have the weapons around him and I just don't I honestly don't really know
Starting point is 00:59:26 what to expect with that Maryland offense because it just feels like they do. I mean, we already talked about him be right. It feels like they aren't utilizing their guys to their ability. And if they don't utilize MJ Moore's the right way, he's not going to be good in that offense. And I don't know. He's a guy I haven't really taken much. But he's, I feel like he's a guy that has talent. He's, you know, he's a guy that can use his legs a little bit to get you some, value there. But I don't know. That's a tough question. I guess I would say I don't expect him to, if he does start the whole season, I don't know if he's going to, we're really going to see the
Starting point is 01:00:04 value that we could with him just because of that offense. Yeah. I mean, it's, It is interesting. I mean, you got, you know, Ty Felton, Kaden Prater there. I mean, they're not bad wide receivers. And so I am curious,
Starting point is 01:00:19 you know, what MJ Morris could look like than offense, but I also thought Billy Edwards looks great in the whole game. Yeah. So it's just hard to say. I mean,
Starting point is 01:00:30 did they name, name a starter at the end of spring? Do you know? No. No. No. And, yeah, I mean, any guy that's a dual-threat quarterback, you know, could have really good value. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:47 So, so those are guys. I like that. I like that, yeah, it's dribbling in the queue. Yeah, that's who we're going here. Yeah, I like that. Yeah, Jadiyonk and I were talking about him. But why do you like him? Why don't you share with us?
Starting point is 01:01:02 So, he close this out. He only played, he was limited last year. Correct. he got hurt early in the season. And he was pretty good early in the season. And that's an offense that, you know, you have two other guys, Presley and Owens that are going pretty early. But he's a guy that I think he fits in that offense, came over from Washington State. He's a guy that I've kind of been excited and just waiting for him to break out.
Starting point is 01:01:34 And last year it felt like he was going to. possibly have that season. And so when you're taking him this late in the draft, right? If it doesn't pan out, it doesn't pan out. But he's a guy that that offense is going to score points. They're going to, you know, there's a lot of targets in that offense. And he's a guy that could really, you know, have some good weeks. And he could be a guy that ends up being a top receiver on that team by the end of the year.
Starting point is 01:02:06 So I love that. He was ahead of Rashad Owens on the depth chart last year. Yeah. I mean, they totally got. Until they got hurt. Right. And so, and, you know, J.D., I mentioned that, that Mike Gundy had said that he thinks Deshaunsch Stripling is an NFL talent.
Starting point is 01:02:23 And so, you know, and Gundy's not just one to mince words. I mean, he, I think when he says something, he means it. And so, yeah, that kind of value that way is really good. All right. So let's walk through this with our team. And we got to end this, we got five QB, six running back, seven wide receivers, two tight in. So I feel like we got really good roster construction here. But as we look at this, where do you think are the pitfalls of our team?
Starting point is 01:02:50 And like, well, let's see best case, worst case scenario. What's the best case scenario for this team? And then what's the worst case scenario? So if we have, if Jalen Daniels stays healthy, I love the quarterback room, right? Cam War, to me, he's close to a top 10 guy. Jalen Daniels on any given week can be a top 10 guy. Connor Wegman, he, again, he's a guy that he could, he might not have it every single week, but just really high upside there with him.
Starting point is 01:03:23 Altmeyer and Morris, you know, it gets pretty thin. But again, there are two guys that could give you a couple weeks. So we need, I think we need Jalen Daniels to stay healthy, though. Yeah, totally. running back um i so we have a lot of guys so singleton jackson possibly in moss could be in they're in committees or could be in committees but i think there's enough guys that um we're going to hit on weeks here with brooks uh singleton i wish we could have got allen um i like the jordan waters pick he's kind of that consistent guy that you're going to need so if if you do kind of
Starting point is 01:04:02 don't hit with a jackson or a moss you're going to have water And then Kobe Pace, you talked about it. He's going to be RB1, so it might not be every week, but at least we know he's going to be the guy there. And hopefully get some weeks there. But I think we're pretty good. We just need some of those guys. We need Moss and Jackson to win those jobs out, right?
Starting point is 01:04:24 And I think we have a really good room there. Yeah. I mean, if we had five RB1s, basically, I mean, Nick Singleton average 17 to 20 points a game, in my opinion. Yeah, he's so talented. And so, yeah, we get those guys, if they have solidified those jobs. Yeah, it's pretty high upside. I mean, it's risky, but this is basketball.
Starting point is 01:04:47 This isn't redraft. Right. All right. Talk about a wide receiver. I actually really like the wide receiver room because these are, these are a lot of guys I drafted, or I draft. We talked about burden. He's just so electric out there, right? Bernard's going to be that guy at Bama.
Starting point is 01:05:04 We think, I still think Hunter. I mean, I know it's Boston. I like Boston too, but Hunter, he didn't do it in the spring game, but we talked. He was in another scrimmage where he had three touchdowns. I just think he might not do it every week, but there's value there. I love Henderson. That's wide receiver one there. Hudson and Stripling could be two really, really valuable guys that we got late.
Starting point is 01:05:29 I mean, those are two guys that you could finish in the top 15, you know, with the position that they're in. So I think this is probably my favorite room. I know there's a little bit. It's probably, it could hurt us. There's not a lot of proven guys in their, at their current team in their current position,
Starting point is 01:05:49 but it feels very boom-bust, and I am thinking it's going to boom. And like, to me, like, okay, we have Luther Birdnazor, our wide receiver one, right? And there's only one other wide receiver slot. You only start two wide receivers. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:03 in this format. So we're not asking these guys to go off every week. We're going, hey, can one of you guys go off? Yeah, yeah. You know, twice in the season. So, yeah. And then tight-in. What do you think there?
Starting point is 01:06:18 Yeah, I like this. I mean, RJ Maryland, he's a top-10 guy for me. Keanu Hill, I think, is a guy that has potential to have some really good weeks. He's not going to probably be super consistent, kind of that top tier. But it's always tough to get out of tight ends. I think Keanu Hill, where we got him, was a great value. I think he's probably better than some of the other tight ends that went off before him. Yeah, totally.
Starting point is 01:06:41 Yeah. Look, I think what we did with this draft is we drafted a best ball team. And a team that I think will compete later on. Or it's going to bust, right? But, like, again, like, you don't get anything in this format for finishing in sixth. And, you know, you got to finish high. So you got to get high upside players. and that's what we went after.
Starting point is 01:07:03 Got really good value there, weight at the wide receiver position, like you said, and some running backs that there's always injuries at the running back position. And so if our guys end up being the guy versus in a committee, then, you know, I think we'll really hit. So, man, this is fun getting the draft together.
Starting point is 01:07:22 Yeah. Yeah, it took a while for us to fill, but that just means we got to talk strategy. So it was a lot of fun. Hey, again, we have a special underd underdog promo with fantasy points. And so we have a 50% matching deal up to $500. So that's $250 off.
