What? Why are you shaking your head? You're welcome. Hello, it is the CFF All Access Show. I'm Eric Froton with my co-hosts today, Josh Chivalier, Mike Bainbridge, and Zach Hall are playing hooky. Shame on them. But Josh, we're here on this fine late July Monday. I mean, it's really creeping up now, isn't it?

I mean, gosh, we've got the Hall of Fame game coming up pretty soon for the end of FL and then the Expo, which I believe you will be attending. Is that correct? Dude, we will be attending together, man. We're going to have to shake things up there at the Expo for sure. I'm very excited about that, obviously. But as part of the stretch of drafts, I'm sure we all have coming up here on the CFF front. Today is also the opening salvo, the opening of the 50 team college football team. championship run by none another than fantasy lives Thorne Isstrom and my friend

so some obviously very exciting stuff I am running the Big Ten League right now and in terms of that I don't know if I can do a screen share I don't even know if that's possible are you the screen share guy right now Josh can that be shared with me

so I can show you my if you see present at the bottom I think you can do it that way all right I want to make sure that that's uh present all right uh the share screen all right look at this sorry guys you have to go through this right now since we figure it all right um all right the tab i won is this one that's a league draft room and share it boom there we go all right let's uh let's minimize that you show me and then all right so can you see this josh you got all this i can see it yep as you can see

see, I have the number five pick. We have three QBs that start right out of the gate. Byron Brown, which has been, I would say, the QB1 for the duration of the offseason. Dylan Gabriel, Seth Henigan, I mean, right out of the gate. You see, this is the Big Ten and the AAC only, and Notre Dame, I believe, is also in there, too. So keep that in mind. So does have certainly a restricted pool that we're working. with. I went, some of your Darrys Taylor went, considered going with a running back, but with the way that the wide receiver position is sort of delineated here, I went with Ted Johnson. I feel like I was kind of, you know, vindicated as we get Mario Anderson, Mackay Hughes, then it pivots over to

Atkins and Pauling. And I feel like the difference between Ted Johnson and Atkins and Pauling is pretty noticeable, even though I don't have any problem with these guys, maybe more so with Pauling. James goes, Buk, modern guy, Evan Stewart, Ted Johnson's compatriot there, Judkins, Taylor, and then that sort of ends

the first, you'd say, tier of wide receivers for this Big Ten and AAC split. And then it's pretty much just a parade of running backs from that point forward until you see this quick run here in the third round where it sort of pivoted to the wide receiver position again.

but I felt like I was quite lucky to get Trevion Henderson here at the 2-8. Not that I, you know, have any problem with these. I probably would have held off on Donovan Edwards, but that's just personal preference. And then it just keeps going here. Boston was a great pick here by Ian, my man Ian Hartett's. I was going to say the same thing. Of course of Matthew Berry's fantasy life. He goes, Hennigan, Singleton, Boston.

Boston being there at 3-3. like Adam Bass taking Blankhamcy doing doing Ian a solid there giving them giving them that Boston pick. Well done, sir. And I went, I know that I'm usually waiting a little bit on USC, but hey, this is a shortened format. Wanted to go with the upside of Zachariah Branch and then wait for it to come down. Probably take a running back here on the way back before I pivot over the quarterback room. But having Johnson and Branch, a couple guys who will get forced-fed targets is a PPR. format and you saw our boy Lee Beebe Nick Dunning three running backs going right after that and and then Amari

Thomas gave a lot of consideration to both Camden Benjamin and Amari Thomas there especially with you know you look at UAB year two of Dilfer throw a lot of passes and having Tewan Palmer leave very appealing and the same thing goes for Benjamin as Zach Hall had Tulsa as having having the number one most fantasy friendly schedule in the entire country, the number 134, according to the defenses that they play. So that is obviously a quite beneficial situation there with Telsa, and you get Watkins going right after that. So I will stop sharing the screen, go back to the regular split screen here,

and get a little some opinion from Josh looking at it as an outsider looking in some of those. Yeah, I mean, I look at that draft and I go, wow, like the big, I wondered with the big 10, like what, like where the drop off would be. But in that round three, right, like that's really round 13 to 1580P and are all FBS leagues, right? So you can just see like where the depth drops off. I'm in the SEC and Mountain West. And, you know, we're still drafting like Isaiah Bond in the third round kind of guys like that, right? seventh, eighth round. Are they have bought in the third round?

Nowhere to be found in that particular track for it. Yeah, I thought your strategy was awesome. I mean, if Denzel Boston would have fell to you in the third round, I mean, that start just would have been, Emma is already good, obviously, but, I mean, because Zachariah Branch is going to give you some really big weeks. But, yeah, man, some slim pickings in some of these conferences, you know? Yeah, that's three rounds so far.

I can't wait to get a good look at what round four looks like and beyond. But that being said, I will let you take over here. We'll go for a quick break. And then we can get into the meat and crux of our show today. Well, real quick, before we make a transition, I had the 1.1 in the SEC and Mountain West Conference and the 50 teamer. Dude, share it. Let's go. Can you share it?

Yeah. I don't have it up right now. But let me tell you what I know. I want to see that board. I haven't looked at it yet. Yeah, we'll throw it up at the end. So I got Ashton Genti number one, but we had Ashen Genti, Tori Horton, and Luther Burden. I got Isaiah Bond, which is like really the drop off of wide receivers and that, you know, in the two conferences at 3.1.

Wow. But would you have, would you have gone burden over Genty in that scenario or Torihor? or Tori Horton, like with how thin wide receivers are? No. I feel like he's got to, you know, Genty is genty. He is a special case, too, with all the receptions. Like, you could get 50 receptions. Yeah, yeah.

That's just outrageous for a running back. Nobody does that, you know? That's not, since the Max Borgie, Elsie on days of when, you know, they were just throwing the ball all over the place. But that's about it. Yeah. Yeah. And the fact that he'll catch in 1,200 rushing yards, too.

You just can't pass that up. You just take action gentie. You go, thank you, and go about the rest of your draft. Yeah. You just hope that it's enough, right, of a difference between the rest of the running backs and, you know, the values there. And you get the number one pick there. I know. I know.

I know. I should have taken it. Dude, the SEC, you're right, though, in terms of being loaded. I remember looking and going through the teams after and being like, all right, what I expect on a point per game basis for each of these officers. offenses. And it is night and day different. So many 35 point offenses in the SEC. They're just going to roll. And then you get the Big Ten. It's the grinding out defense oriented play. And I'm looking at my gosh, it's taking the SECs. I wanted to take the Big Ten because I'll be going more Big Ten games for NBC. But wow, I should say. The SEC was the right golf.

Congratulations. You win. Yeah. Yeah, man. It'll be a fun time. Who are your top three right now besides bond? So here's why I thought about burden, like maybe in reverse, but I got Isaiah, Isaiah Bond 3.1, kind of going to reverse here. Then I took, I took Brady Cook, five point passing touchdown. So they got Brady Cook at 2.12 and then Ashton Jenty 1.1. So could have stacked burden and cook. But, man, I'm, I was a little fearful.

It's been like a QB moratorium after those top three all went. And there's been just skis. And no tight ends. It just been straight up skill with the run of running backs and the subsequent run of wide receivers there. It's been other than that first round, just trends. So I'm sure we'll get the QB trend coming up soon. But good to hear.

Good. Yeah. I'll put up later and you can dissect it for sure. All right. We're talking tonight, though, about Underdog Best Bowl Mania. We're two weeks in to Underdog releasing. these officials, I think it was last two, or two Tuesdays ago that they released their first, you know, drafts and the best ball mania of the tournament. And so, you know, you and Mike did a great show two weeks ago, kind of talking, talking strategy and breaking things down.

You guys had the info that this was going to be power for only. And so with that, we, you know, we had a bunch of info and you guys did a great job. But I want to look kind of two weeks later, you know, we know now that it is super flex, right? It's not one QB that you can't have two QBs that you start. And there's a few other things, half PPR, those types of things that we know about Best Bowlmania. And so I want to ask you, man, two weeks in, what are your biggest surprises so far in drafting, you know, this format with the playoffs and all of that included? I would say, obviously, the early going was Darius Taylor. Yep.

You know, that was him being in like 240 or whatever it was. And then falling, I think the eventual league winner will be out of somebody who did won the first thousand drafts personally. Yeah. Because of some of the value, Cam Cook was a great deal for a very long time. You could literally, for the first half of those drafts, I could bank on saying, all right, I'm going to get Cam Cook like round 11. Yeah. And just slot him right in and feel great about him being. and maybe an RB3, potentially four at that point, depending on my build.

So I would say also Caleb Jackson for LSU. He was right around that same arena as Cam Cook. So I mean, I feel like I was almost, you're almost stealing them for a while. And then I don't know, give me, give me some of yours as well. Yeah, I mean, I think, I think those are great ones, right? I remember the first time we drafted together. It was my first draft, I think. And I was like, man, Cam Cook.

We were like Cam Cook or Caden Fegan and like round 10. Yeah. You're just feasting on this. Like, all right, Rick sounds good. Yeah. Yeah. Fegan's like moved up. I think the biggest surprise for me is how much Jalen Daniels has gone up.

I mean, he was round seven and eight. He is the ultimate home run shot in this format. Oh, are you kidding? I was getting them, I want to say like my first drafts, I'd have to go and check my teams, but I was saying I got him around 10, 11, 12 to start, probably like 11. Yep. Right out of the gate because people hadn't realized just in this format, if his back stays healthy and everything lines up for Kansas, I mean, he could go nuclear.

He could be a league winner. So a league, I mean, a money winner essentially in this format. Absolutely. Yeah. off schedule with BYU, Colorado Baylor. I feel like once people realize with Devin Neal, right, that like this is his schedule and then they

caught on with Jalen Daniels. And man, I think he might even be second round ADP at this point because he is just shot up draft board so high in the current drafts that I'm in. You know who else? You got to give him his dude. Josh Hoover has been the ultimate quarterback way,

way, way too far. Like he's got, he was going around 15, 16 To start, you can sit and just wait and say, all right, I'm going to hang out. I'll get Josh Hoover way down the board as my QV4-5 type, you know, depending on how you want to build. And you can just sit on it because I love Hoover. I mean, Hoover, I mean, as good as you can get when it comes to a dependable system, he's there with Sunny Dykes.

When he was in there last year, he was effective, he was good. As long as he can stay healthy, you would think that he's going to be in a pretty good spot. and it's not hard to stack them either with Savion or McAllister. Speaking of that, do you have any preference on Savianne Williams or Eric McAllister for that, that Hoover stack? I mean, I think right now I would go Eric McAllister. I mean, obviously Savon Williams has a pretty high ceiling,

but we've seen Eric McAllister do it. And so I could definitely, yeah, it is close. I think it's just, it's going to depend. But, yeah, I like Eric McAllister probably a little bit better. but you never know, right? Because Savon Williams has been there. So there's more potential chemistry there. Hoover was out all of spring, right?

I mean, it's been, he's still coming. He's returning in fall camp, correct? Yeah, yeah. It's all about the injury. It's all about staying healthy with him, really. Yeah. So, you know, how much is he built the rapport with McAllen? I have Stavion four spots ahead of McAllister.

I tossed and turned over that one in my best ball rankings. but very, very close. Yep. Yeah. Yeah, any, I mean, for you, are there guys that you've pushed up the board or pushed down the board based on buys? Like Jackson Arnold, a guy that we both love.

Is he a ding for you because of the buy? Are you just like, all right, I'm just figuring out guys to play, you know, quarterbacks to play later that can cover up that week 12 buy? Sure. Well, God, Maryland guys are off the table, essentially. and Georgia Tech, who is kind of a team that has a little sizzle. If you're just looking at it from conventional sense coming into the season coming off the last year, pretty much a no-go. Like, I don't have any Georgia Tech guys because you got the three buys because they played Florida State in Week Zero.

And you have just a horrific 12, 13, 14, which is the Money Week. weeks. So you got to get through the first 11, then you get to 12, 13, 14, and those guys are pretty much useless. So just the schedule. Exactly. Yeah. Nightmare fuel for Maryland. And then obviously, Georgia Tech is awful, too. So those are two guys that I just, I don't want any part of because of that. Daniel Jackson gets dinged from Minnesota too. They have a pretty tough schedule. Obviously, it's Big Ten again. Here we are talking about the big. 10 and that's the 50 team league I'm in so all right yeah yeah you're talking about

Minnesota they have the buy week and week 12 and then Penn State in Wisconsin yeah brutal yeah so it's it's tough man like there's there's definitely yeah for sure um yeah any other I mean I feel like I'm trying to think of other guys that you know I feel like guys who I've seen Tamarian Hardin dipping. And that was the case certainly in our last best ball, I think is the Keegan Jones effect. Yeah. Maybe with the new system, Deshaun Fosser having a catastrophic, not a good public speaker, sort of a performance of it there at the podium during the Big Ten media days.

It doesn't inspire confidence, I suppose. But he dipped pretty significantly in our last draft. And I have seen Keegan Jones slipping in, having the dual running back wide receiver eligibility obviously being pretty appealing. Do you have any appeal, you know, perspective on that, that Hardin situation? I mean, Hardin's the guy you want to draft him because you look at the playoffs and UCLA has actually got a really good schedule, right? They have Washington, USC and Fresno State. Yeah, they go through hell to get there, though. Right, right.

But on the money on the money weeks, if they survive, then you got them, you know. But, you know, T.J. Hardin's like, you know, I feel like he's a guy. I can't remember where I heard this, but there's a report out that's like T.J. Hardin's sticking out and not in a good way. And so it's like when that happens, you know, you know, I'm kind of, I'm kind of with them where I'm like, man, I'm just going to have to fade Hardin at this point. Well, and it's the enemy there at the O.C. And let's remember what do they, what do you do in Kansas City, right? Yeah. McLean. Gerard McLean or whatever his name is.

Am I right on that? You know, the little fellow there. Yeah. But whatever. That guy, he was awesome. And I don't even think he's on a roster anymore. What's that guy? Somebody can help me in the, the little guy on Casey.

He's got in the chat. But then CEH, you know, they took CEH over Jonathan Taylor for a reason. It's because he likes the more mold. backs, at least what it seems. He likes the satellite backs who can catch passes and be all-purpose types. So that would indicate if Tamarian Hardin, who is a big dude, he's that 220 type, I know. I actually took a picture with him after he pounded an over for me in the UCLA Colorado game, which I was on the field for last year.

That was a pretty fun moment. I got a quick like Tamari Quick. He got a picture after he cashed his super over. and that's the type of fun stuff that we like anyways um yeah so that's certainly one and i think even garber's because of what you mentioned what a great kb5 he is you can get him you can get him he's almost free in these and because of what you mentioned he gets through the fire he's the only guy there everyone else transferred out bye-bye dante more and collins lee it's his gig yeah so as long as he is upright he's going to be gaining starts and that could be something

that makes a difference for, you know, 16th, 17th round out there is your QB4 or 5 when you need them out there in the playoffs. Yep. Yeah, for sure. Hey, a couple comments here in the chat. I wanted to get to one, we got a legend in the chat. Oh, John Lobb. Wow, Johnny.

Called us two of the best in the business, man. What a compliment from the goat over here. I appreciate that, John. John Lobb, absolutely. He, John will be on the panel there at. the fantasy football expo in Canton in two weekends. You'll be over there. You know,

I love about John is you can get the C2C and the CFF perspective because when we're talking out there to mostly NFL people, you know, it helps to be able to relate on the C2C side to help draw them in because a lot of them are like, well, college, you know, why would I do that? Well, if you do this, if you do college, well, you know, your college guys go and funnel up to your pro roster.

So, you know, it's, I'm excited to have John talk about some of the similarities and some the things that he feels are, you know, compelling selling points to those NFLers and those dynasty people. Dude, I can't even tell you. I was at the FSGA this last weekend, which was what an amazing event. I had such a great time last week. I talked to so many people and the Scott Fishbowls. I went to two Scott Fishbowls.

I went to the Scott Fish Bowl, L.A. and Scott Fish Bowl, Boston. I took the Red Eye over. Coast to coast. Yeah, me and Jeff Radcliffe took an Uber over from L.A., got to Boston, did them both. It was pretty fun, and then the conference. So I talked to several people who were in double-digit dynasty leagues. Like, oh, yeah, 16, I do all these dynasty leagues? And I'm like, oh, that's great.

Do you do a C2C? Do you do a college fantasy league? And they just sort of like, whoa, hey. You can see their demeanor change once you talk about CTC or college fantasy. So I really do. It certainly strengthen my resolve to want to make this as accessible as possible and as friendly to people who want to get in and is easily accessible. And Camps to Canton does such a great job.

We try to do well, CFF site. Carps obviously running left and right. Our boy is in there. John does a great job over at FanTracks with Luke Provasco and the G5. So love all those guys. and, you know, it's going to be our year. I'm telling you, I talked to a lot of people over the past week, and they are very bullish on college football after the game released,

after the big ball stuff, best ball stuff, excuse me. Yeah. I'm thinking about my boy Kaposi, Big Ball State College. But, yeah, that's, you love, you remember Kaposi, Josh? Oh, yeah. You love getting some heat on Twitter with Kaposi. Always the brash Boston guys, him in China. Dude, I love it.

All these people's mentions coming for him. Yeah. Coach night, bro. That's my boy. Let's not forget about coach night. Coach night in the top of that list. I need you get in one of y'all's leagues, man. I know all you are your boys.

You don't want to be there. We do it live every year. You know that. I'll be having pictures, as I always do. You know, live from the NCAA draft. We should do one of these shows live from the NCAA draft or something like that. Yeah, that'd be fun. That'd be fun.

Dreams, dreams. Dreams. Anyways. Yes. Let me ask you a question because you brought up earlier that you think one of the winners is going to be from the first, whatever, thousand drafts or something that happened. I think that's what you said, like, right, like where the ADP wasn't set yet. And I've heard a theory from, you know, as a commenter on even another YouTube show that was saying that they think that maybe the fill rate is a little slower on this best bowl mania because kind of the sharps out there are feeling like, man, man, the edge was to be had early on.

And now the ADPS set in, it's almost going to be impossible for somebody drafting later to get enough of an edge to create the winning team. What do you think about that? I think there's probably an element of truth to it. Yeah. I mean, I kind of alluded to that earlier on the show that if you're getting Darius Taylor in the 10th round for the first day, two days of it where you had, I mean, I want to say around 2,000 entrants just in those first couple of days.

Yep. then you're going to have some educated people that were out there that got some just incredible value right out of the gate. So, but then, you know, I do, I do want to hesitate and say that, you know, to be careful, there are going to be some teams that had that advantage that probably didn't take proper advantage of the schedule situation. Yeah. Because people didn't really have that suss out. We had the schedule matrices kind of up and ready to go. So that is made a difference because you have to, I have it open and I'm strictly adhering to it as soon as I have something like, all right, it's become second nature now to us.

But at that beginning, you're going to have some teams that those perceived advantages, they might have duff the way on some less than favorable buy weeks later on. Because nobody even knew the situation too. Right. Totally. So I wouldn't say that all hope is lost. And I'm going to, I still crank out a few more teams here. but we also have some other contests that have come up too so that's also pretty exciting yeah and john lob asked what's the percentage fill i think it's at almost 80% now yeah it's up there i wanted 75% or so it was the

last time i had checked so it's yeah i was about day ago i'm sure it's up there yeah so this commenter who's a pretty sharp guy can't even i wish i could remember who it was but they were saying like they think the next best ball mania is going to fill a lot quicker and so like because and i bring that up because you talk about the momentum, the amount of people that are really excited about this. And I think that's still true. Like we see on all the CFF All Access shows that we've done with live underdog best ball drafts. Like people are loving this. Like they're tuning in.

They like like what's going on. They want to learn. And so I'm really excited about where we're going in this. And I want to talk more kind of specific draft plans that we have right here after we take a break real quick. All right. I want to talk specifically, Froton, about what we're doing at each position, QB, running back, wide receiver, and tight in. But do you have any kind of, at this point, general principles that you're drafting on, that you go into each drafting are like, hey, here's really the three or four principles that I'm going to follow as I draft, or is it more loose for you because of your, you know, depth of knowledge of each position? Yeah, well, I mean, it doesn't matter my depth of knowledge or whatever have you.

It's more just wanting to make sure that I'm addressing the right spots, the right times. I'm generally looking to address running back and wide receiver right out of the gate. And I'm – I love it. You know me. You know me. I'm waiting on those quarterback. I just feel like if I can sit tight and play the market correctly, then I can do what needs to be done on the quarterback front.

And, you know, you're going for the five QBs. and there are guys that I like down the board that, you know, other guys probably don't. And we've seen a lot of Brendan Sorsby on people's teams. We've mentioned Hoover. Rocco Beck, I loved his ADP for a long time in terms of, you know, the throw rate we get out of Iowa State with Noel, with Higgins. The more wide open big 12, sort of averse to defense. Yeah. Been taking a lot of him.

but I feel like because I can hit the quarterbacks starting around that, that picks 60 to 70 mark, and then, you know, attack it in those sort of like 10 to 14 range. Yep. Is when I want to get one and then I'll really attack them and get about four of them until I get, you know, I'll wait and sort of till the end until I value play somebody. And, but I'm trying to do the best I can to address. skill positions. Running backs, obviously, do what you can to get up there on the board, supplement that with early on. It was just a lot of cook. Like a ton of Cam Cook. Plain and simple.

Dallin Hayden, I feel like, is kind of a little bit of a cheat code in that he was ranked so far down there. And he will have a pretty solid role. We've heard Pat Schumer say he wants to run the ball more. How can you not want to run the ball more after putting 824 total yard? of 12 games, you know, rushing yards. I mean, yeah, you want to run the ball more. You want to keep Chodor Sanders upright. You've upgraded the entire offensive line. Like, these are all basic, you know, concepts to football.

So I believe that they want to do that. And even though it's half PPR, he's going to catch a ton of passes out of the backfield. Very explosive, not big, obviously, that 1.95, 200 pounds. But that's what they want there in that system. So I just feel like being able to grab him in that. early on in the running back five, six slot. That's a great deal so that I can then go and say, okay, everybody's concerned about wide receivers and you have to be.

How many do you take? I want to get as many as I can. You want to get seven, you know, obviously is what I'm shooting for there. I don't feel comfortable with six because it's just you're going to have guys who just flame out. You're going to have inconsistent weeks. This is something we've dealt with in our particular. expert best ball champion series all the time is how to properly allocate that wide receiver room. And when you have a shorter bench where we have 30 spots and we can just heap,

you can, you can like sort of like coalesce around certain rooms. Like I've done a lot of the stacking of Colorado in those leagues because you have 30 spots. And I can get two, you know, three, four if I want, you know, as many skill position guys as I want of them with the exception of usually wester is one i'm leaving on the board but hell i'll take horn down the board and he's a nice shot here too um but it's harder to do that with the buy situations like i got caught on one of my teams where i took bond and then uh Travis hunter down the board and it's like they're both six and ten buys yep like all right well great that was a nice start potentially because i got them at you know pick 45 pick 52 but

now my buys are screwed and I'm just cobbling together, you know, shoehorning in guys that have at least a respectable matchup that are decent. I end up taking Jay Michael Sturdivand, who's not really one of my guys at UCLA, but it was sort of a boom pick that fit my buy situation on the back end. So those are the sort of things that I guess I was doing is just trying to be as mindful as possible with getting high upside wide receivers at decent rates. I feel like Preston Stone has been a pretty good deal at quarterback. You can get them right around that 9, 10 because he gets dinged by the three buys, but he has a nice stretch run in those 12, 13, 14 weeks.

And you can get Jordan Hudson in a nice little deal too. So you can manage to pair them down the board that when they click, they're going to click big. And also that SMU wide receiver room, You know, I'm not seeing, I'm seeing Hudson, obviously, but then the Bailey, you know, Ramello Brinson. Yeah. I watched a ton of those guys over the course of the past couple weeks.

And just someone else could hit there too. It isn't like it's just Hudson. Yeah. They're all moments for just about every one of those guys that's still hanging around in that room. So, you know, even with Jake Bailey, we'll see what he could do. I feel like there's money to be made at SMU in these best ball contests that you know, you're going to be able to get a little bit of value down the board. If you need a 19th, 20th round pick, you're looking at a wide out and you already have stone and you want to,

you want to stack. Yep, cheap stocking options, which is great for a lot of these quarterbacks that you're able to get that are more affordable. Let me ask you this, roster construction, because you just mentioned it with wide receivers and us wanting to go deeper there. Do you find yourself, like, let me position it this way. When I first started this, I was like, oh, yeah, this is going to be my roster construction. Like, whatever, four, five QBs, six running back, six wide receivers and like three tight ends or something. I can't remember what, yeah, I think that's the math on that. That sounds right.

Yeah. That's not what I'm doing. Yeah. That's not what I'm doing now. I'm like definitely doing something different at positions based on the tournament formats. Are you, what's your roster construction at this point? that you're aiming for, like an ideal draft. What are you getting at each position?

Yeah, I've been going with the two tight ends. Yeah, me too. Because you can get them, you can get good tight ends fairly reasonably. Yeah. And in that, it's like, it's worth doing that extra stack and having the flexibility down the board to get a couple of decent ones. And then just letting the chips fall with him. You know I love Malik car. Like, man, I think Malik car is just such a smoking deal.

and all of them. I have so many best ball shares in the Champions League. And he's going to like the end of right 28, 29, 30. I'm getting him anytime I won. He's going undrafted. And he was the best weapon on a moribund Michigan State team last year. He broke 10 tackles and like 30 receptions. He had a 33% broken tackle rate. And you watch him. It's like, this guy's an athlete. He should be going to ball more. But, The team is inept. So you get over there to a Houston team that is being taken over by Willie Fritz. Sure, it's not going to be the Wheeling Dealing, you know, Dana led team of the past. But he knows talent. I mean, with Sam Brown transferring out, you got Manjack out there, you know, shoulders. Good luck. I feel like Malikar has a legitimate shot.

And taking him as a, you know, off-by. tied end two with a good solid brining stool Mason Taylor You know a jolly type Maryland like a good solid Dependable one I feel like that's the play And then like you said

I'm usually going with five QBs What do you do? Are you going four or five QBs With your building? And that allows me to go seven wide receivers I could see going four and eight Yep I'll go four if I don't have too many We 12 buys

Like particularly early on I was hitting a lot of like Arnold and Ward because I get Jackson Arnold in the third round and I get Ward in the fifth round. And so I just go and I'm like, man, I'll just I'll get five at that point because I want to make sure to have those week. Week 12 is covered. But if I only get like one week 12 quarterback, then I'll go four. And because like a guy like that has more valued value to me right now. The QB position is like Connor Wegman, like where he plays like a great schedule during the playoffs. And he's got a lot of upside with dual threat guy.

I mean, he had like, what, average almost like 25 points a game, I think, last year through the first three games before he got hurt. Notable value. Yeah, I have plenty of Connor Wegman as you know, best ball in both formats, you know, be it traditional and the underdog. Absolutely. And a great value. And you're getting them in the teens, you know, 1415 right around there is where I'm seeing them. Give me Connor Wegman at that. Hoover and Wegman right there.

pretty damn good. And you're right. Brendan Soresby is another one. I mean, all these, I will say for a ton, like the running ability. Yeah,

with him. Yeah. And I know, I know the guys that you like. And I see how much, I think ADP has really been shaped by, uh, you going on shows and talking and like people like listening because I see the guys

that you really like getting drafted. Unless you've done like, you know, 150 drafts already and you, you've capped out on your. I've certainly not done. I'm not. I'm just messing.

I know. But, but, but, but, I do think, yeah, you've played a good role, I think, in shaping ADP here, which is really fun. But, yeah, it's fun to hear you talk, too, about how you're attacking this, because I'm attacking a little bit different. You know, I'm going QBs early and wide receivers.

And then I'm fading running backs until, like, rounds five through 10. And then I'll get, like, four or five. Gobble them. Just, it's a good place to be. Our boys, right? Fegan, Jackson, Cook. it's like as long as they're not all stacked they were right where you could

I was willing to reach a little bit on some of them to try to get them but I love kind of us having a little bit of a different strategy to get people here but who are some of the wide receivers that you're targeting early do you have any specific ones?

Landa's been a pretty good deal you can get him obviously you know I love my boy Eugene Wilson he's actually been sliding like round four I think I saw some of the camps of the Canton ones because I watched those just to see what happens when I'm not in in a draft. I like Io Manor.

I feel like just the obscene volume he got last year, a step coming from Stanford, year two, Troy Taylor. I feel like he's extremely projectable. I want to have him and he's, you can acquire him. But then, like, I feel like once you get past, I'm looking at my rankings, you get past Denzel Boston, Kobe Hudson, which is, you know, I'm in there in Tier 3 of my particular rankings. You get past them, you know, and you're in the Kyle Williams, Antoine Wells, Jacoby George, Jontay Cook. You're in that solid number two wide receiver category. And then you get the end of the tier three. and it's like, okay, you're taking some shots now.

Yeah. So I feel like I've got three solid tiers, and tier one is a four-player tier. It's Burden, Teteroa, Tess, and Evan Stewart. Yep. And then Tier two is a pretty big tier because I do feel like you've got some, there's some opportunity to shop in there.

I want to get two tier two guys is kind of how I'm looking at it. Because most of the time I'm going, running back in round one, unless I get a chance of Luther or Tet. So I'm trying to get two, tier two guys, and then grab a tier three guy or two. And then I feel like I can kind of play from there and figure out how my body shape up.

Yeah. And start trying to pair up a little bit and being cognizant of my quarterback matchups trying to cobble those points together. Yeah. What are you doing? Nick Anderson has the week 12 buy, but I know you like him a lot. And he's good value right now in these drafts.

He's a very good value. I have. I've been taking them, sure. Yeah. Oh, you just have to. Well, I've paired up on a couple Bond and Anderson. And so there's six and ten for Texas, right? And so I'm covered on that week 12 with Texas.

And just trying to be, trying to be ahead of it. It's just knowing what the week 12 teams are and just sitting there and having your schedule matrix open saying, okay, where am I clear here? Okay, I'm good. All right. No, you know, no Georgia Tech, no Minnesota, no Michigan. A lot of those, no Indiana, no Mississippi State, no Duke, no Florida State, you know, it's no old miss.

It's like you just start running down the list, Miami, UCF, playing the hits. Yeah. So if, I mean, I think it kind of gives a bump to guys like Eugene Wilson, where it's like, oh, you mean, Wilson's got LSU, Ole Miss, and Florida State. Yeah. Weeks 12, 13, 14. Well, all right. Does Florida have a tough schedule?

Yeah. But does he wheels up? Affirmative. And then even though Ohio State is Tate, you know, he's lost some shine with Jeremiah Smith, just freak show. But those guys are going to be serviceable for North. Western Indiana and Michigan. I mean, Michigan's good, obviously, but, you know, we're talking about the wider's few.

There's going to be balls thrown or at. Like, there's going to be opportunity here. So those power teams that don't have those buys, even USC, like, okay, branch or lane or, especially late, if you want to take a shot on Deuce taking that outside role, Nebraska, UCLA, Notre Dame, all right, well, they're going to be throwing, you know, they're around. So, yeah. I feel like it's just a matter of those guys that you know are going to have the opportunities and have a decent little stretch run. They get a little bit of a bump down the board.

I'm still kind of going best player on the board early on and I'll adjust as it goes. Yeah, I love that. Are you, do you have any, I mean, obviously it adjust at the end, but do you have any kind of sleepers at the end? You mentioned Millie Carr, but any wide receivers that you have? have at the end that you're like, yeah, I want to leave with one of these guys into the draft as just kind of a guy that can really hit if he hits. I want one of the Alabama guys slate out of the wide receiver. I want Kendrick Lowe.

I want, you know, Kobe, I want more so Kendrick Lai. I just feel like he has a little bit higher ceiling than Prentice has. And if I'm feeling really wild, maybe Emmanuel Henderson, like wild. Yeah. if it's like, all right, yeah, let's go down the board. We round 20, but that's more so. That's more kind of been in our other best balls where we have 30 rounds to play with. But it's the power three, the potent offense wide receiver three theory that it's destiny.

Hey, look at what's happened everywhere Kailin DeBoer's gone. You get two guys. Who's going to be the second guy? Totally. Who's going to be? I have no idea right now. But you tell you what, Alabama isn't going to suck. Alabama is going to be 35 a game in terms of.

the points and they're probably going to be throwing 35 a game if you read my wide receiver article you know that. Yep, yep. Those are the magic conditions that create, you know, wealth on the wide receiver front. And if you can get those guys in the late teens, well, that's kind of what I want to do. I want to have one of those guys around. I know there's a lot of people like Sam Brown late too there from Miami. I like Jacoby George, but it does change his projection now with Sam Brown there.

and he has power three potential written all over him. You know, it's that third guy being taken in an offense that should be thrown a lot with Cam Ward, Shannon Dawson, and he's the third man in. So those are usually the best values. So I think he has to be paid attention to as well. And Chris Bell has been climbing the ranks as well for Louisville. As you know, I've expressed much skepticism in Colin Lacey being that, that true alpha one that we've seen out of the Brom system time and time again.

He just didn't fit the profile for me, which is why he was being ranked in the top 25 of wide receivers in the early going and being selected round 4 or 5 on average. Didn't like that. Chris Bell getting major buzz. I feel like he's somebody who, if you can come up with later on as wide receiver 4 or 5, he could go nuclear. It's the Brom wide receivers. So I feel.

like taking those high-end shots on guys who can hit down the board, those, that's what I'm looking to do. You know, either the Brom situation or a power three wide out from a prolific offense. Yeah, I mean, I mean, speaking of Louisville, I have, I think it might be my most exposure is Jacori Brooks. I mean, he's free at the end of drafts. And Jeff Brom, as early as July 8, so three weeks ago today, was saying this kid's, this kid's going to be a,

we need him to be a big part of our offense this year. And when Brom says it, one of those guys, you know? Yeah. And like totally, I love Bell's, um,

his talent. I love what he did last year when he was given the opportunity. But, you know, like Brooks is the other, he's the third wide receiver in there that's not getting drafted a ton. And so it's like, all right,

I'll take that value late in drafts. I'm another one that, and he's got Stanford week 12, by the way, which, you know, I talked about ELEC earlier and that passing attack. I mean, you could see that

potentially being a back and forth, you know, high scoring. You talk about a game stack. I mean, that could be a Brooks. ELEC game stack there, you know, in game 12, or week 12, sorry.

There's another wide receiver that J.D. Yonkey kind of put me on that I just don't know why I wasn't thinking about him earlier, but Deshawns stribling from Oklahoma State is a guy that I've been targeting late in drafts. And, you know, I went back and looked at his stuff last year. He started, right, the first four weeks of the year, got injured in the last game. But played five snaps against South Alabama and had one target in that game.

But in the other three games, he had 27 targets. I think he had like 14 catches for like 198 yards. And I think maybe had one touchdown. But, you know, he eclipsed 60 yards in every other game. and had at least three catches. And he was a starter in that system. And so I'm just, you know, again, he's a guy that could flame out, but he's also an outside wide receiver,

which we've seen outside wide receivers hit in that offense. And if Rashad Owens is not the guy, right? Or if he just was the guy because Deshaun Shribling got hurt, then Stribling could come in. And again, like Gundy's called him an NFL wide receiver talent. So he's a guy late that I'm you know again I'm just trying to hit some home runs there and like round 1920 versus just going with it's what we're trying to do. It's a different deal than the Champions League.

We want consistency and we want to build up those points over all of our 12 teams that accumulate. This is one shot deals. This is going for the and when you're talking about Oklahoma State, keep in mind, Ollie Gordon gets a lot of the pub and you think of Ollie Gordon and like, all right, well, he's taking a lot of air out of the room and he's cashed a lot of those touchdowns, which he certainly is. But when it comes to their preference and what Gundy does and what he wants to do, 51% run rate on standard downs. That's 109th in the country in terms of run rate. Passing downs run rate, 23.6%. That is 125th. So he is, you know, 15th. Top 15, top 25 in terms of passing rate on depending on the situation. Doesn't matter what situation is. He's going drastically less.

The national average on the passing downs is 34% run rate. They're 23. They're 10% less, 8% less on standing down run rate from the national average. So we're talking about massive, massive outliers with a veteran quarterback. And keep in mind, 45% of last year's reception. for Oklahoma State went to the outside receiver, which is interesting when you think about Presley being so highly valued because of his usage. Like only 29% of the receptions went to the slot receiver.

That's 118th in the country. All of them just went to Presley who's just out on the field for every single snap. So there's definitely outside option. There's this room to be had because that's 18th in the country they were in terms of how often. and they go outside. So just little things to keep in mind when it comes to Oklahoma State about their pace and what they really want to do. Yeah.

And, you know, they had that week 12 by, but week 13, week 14, Texas Tech and Colorado. So those are two games that could be, you know, potential shootouts. I imagine that the over under in that game, the game total will be in the 60s for that. And so, you know, these are games that, you know, you want those type of games. and weeks 13 and 14 for these type of guys. And then you just never know what happens. So, hey, we're going to take a quick break here. And then we'll finish up this conversation.

And then I pulled up my 50 team or draft so you can take a look at it. Oh, nice. All right. Any other kind of late round values for you and these drafts that you've gotten that I haven't mentioned at running back, quarterback, whatever? I would say just off the top of my head. I guess Kevin Coleman could possibly go big. You know, everyone's see who's going to do in the Levy offense. And Kelly Akari has been going fairly high.

And Coleman is way down there. And you could see he has that slot profile. Obviously didn't work out at Louisville. But a four-star profile could possibly be that slot weapon that is levee's muse that we've seen happen so often. And Ontario Drummond is a guy who comes to mind over at Ole Miss, who's just a stock and trade regular guy. Just last year. Ray Stoops just last year. Just a stock and trade receiver.

Nothing particularly special, but just fits the profile. And it seems like of that room, you know, it could be him. I know that some of the campus of the Canton guys aren't particularly on the same wavelength as me. But that's what makes college financey fun. That's what we like, right? No offense to those guys. So I would also say on the other front, man, after doing some of my running back work, I feel like Montreal Johnson is a- Oh my gosh.

Amazing. I don't understand. Like who else is going to get the ball? And like you- Fowler, I know, like, Trey on Webb, sure. But like he's battle tested. He followed Napier over from Louisiana. He's getting 800 yards every single year that he's been out there.

And now there's no Trevor Eatsy. Has the receiving work? Receiving work is right on the money. He's exactly what you want on all the receiving benchmarks. It's going to get 50 PPR points, which is the 50 point principle on running backs. What I'm looking for. I want to see that happen. And as we discussed, he's like a cheat code on down the stretch where they're a good team that has three games that are competitive, solid games in weeks 12, 13, 14.

So it's like if I'm rounding out a room and typically where he's getting taken and those, low double digits, you know, 12, 13 maybe in terms of the rounds. If I'm taking them there, he's probably a RB 4 or 5. That's a nice, solid, you know, just chip that I can throw in there against LSU, Ole Miss, Florida State, and have three competitive games that I know he's going to be a live wire for down the stretch for the playoffs. So I do think that that's somebody that I've enjoyed at their particular ADP. and then

with the QBs I'm just hanging out and waiting to see who's left for me I mentioned it but Ethan Garbers I like him obviously it's a tough schedule but he finishes nice and he's just a nice little topper

for that same reason you see Alan Bowman again very reasonable I've heard that my friend Jared throws slander on Curtis Rourke and the more I've done in my Big Ten work the more I just think Indiana, their schedule doesn't scare me.

I'm not scared of Indiana. You see this guy? I feel like they're very palatable. Now, it's tough 12, 13, 14. Yeah, you got, it's not the best situation there. But look, if I've got my situation handled, I don't have to worry about that buying in Ohio State, you get week 14, Purdue. I mean, that's as good as it gets for you.

I'm pretty excited about him as well. And Cignetti's done more with. less. Dude, he really has, you know, and he's going to run a little and we want a mobile quarterback. I don't feel like that's kind of getting baked in the same way it probably should be. And then, you know, probably Ashton Daniels, where if he keeps that job, then that should be a prolific spot. We've talked about it with A.O. Manor. Yeah.

But I do like Elijah Brown, the incoming four-star freshman who I got to watch the elite 11. I think he's got a lot of talent. He's probably got to sit for a year. But, man, I'd love to see him get a shot. later on the year. The only thing it kind of dissuades me from Ashton. Let me ask you about it. And my have I put in kind of the same tier, right?

You have these guys like Will Howard, Miller Moss going six, seventh round, maybe a little bit higher at this point. But they might not have the jobs at the end of the year, right? Graham Mertz, same situation. Ashton Daniels, same situation with Elijah Brown. Are you, I, man, I'll bring this up twice and I'm going to be a hypocrite here. Can you handcuff in these guys or are guys like Will Howard Miller Moss? Are they just like total avoids at this point with only 20 roster spots?

Like, what are we doing here? In the 30 round format, you can get away with a lot more, obviously. I know that we did that. I think we did that in the first one, me and Mike, where he went Mateer and Zebby. So like that that's a situation. It's just, man, if any of your other QBs get hurt, it's over. It's over, you know. I feel like you just pick one and you take a shot.

I'm seeing some people taking Manning at the end, which is like, okay, I get it. QB5, maybe you got four good QBs. You go and you take them and you hope to get the stretch run down there. All right, I get it. You know, you get Arkansas, Kentucky, Texas A&M down the stretch. But I'm concerned about yours, you know, holding that job the whole time. That's a team killer if he doesn't. you got to be concerned about injury,

aka Tyler Shuck. I know everybody loves Tyler Shuck because everybody's darling. It's just like, man, just remember who this guy is. Totally. Just remember, you know, don't come crying to me

when he gets hurt again. It's just what he does every time. Yeah. And then, yeah, as you mentioned, with the grandmert situation, what are you going to do? You can't stop progress.

Yeah, DJ is going to get, DJ is going to get reps as he should. So be it. Will Howard, you can't even deal with that. You can't even deal with it. I mean, what are you going to do? You just have to accept it.

Hopefully, Will Howard just keeps it and that's just how it's going to be. You just have to just have blind faith. And it's a good situation because he runs. You know, he could punch him 10 run QBs in a four-point passing touchdown format under CHIP. So that has to be respected too. And just the security in an Ohio State team that did score 30,

points of game last year after being 40 plus the entire day era but maybe they don't quite bounce back to that level can i can i make a confession to you on on air here with you know only me you are a holy man josh you know you can do anything you want you have okay i mean i did get the first pick in the you know the 50 team or so um i pick dj lagway in one of my one of my drafts at the end because i'm just like man i i i love this schedule down the stretch. You mentioned it earlier. You got LSU, you got Ole Miss, and then Florida State

right down the stretch. And it's like, Mertz is probably not going to have that job. But if Flagway has it, like the kid could score 25, 30 points pretty easily in those in two of those three games. It's fascinating to think about, but like just too much, too much. I can't.

I can't do it. Yeah. I took a one shot. I took one shot, but I'm like, I just, you know, you set that one line up with it. You just never Yeah, exactly. The FTW lineup. Go for it. By the way, props to man-made maker out there in the comment section.

Don't forget to like the video and comment, folks. I never do that. Whenever I host Josh, I feel bad. I tell myself, I'm going to be like, can you please like the video while you're watching it? I never do it because I'm lazy and I forget. Hey, get going. So I'm sorry. Like, comment, subscribe.

Like that help our algorithm. Right. We need the algorithm. And you love for Rihola? Oh, my man. Best ball moderate. I love the, you know, no problem there. And that's kind of what we're talking about.

Yeah, why not with Riala? He's a bull. He's going to have some of those games where he's, I would think they would use him on the, why wouldn't you use him on the goal line, right? He's huge. And he's going to have a pretty good leash. I do not believe in Henrik Hireberg. I don't even know.

Heinrich, Heirberg. Yeah. Whatever his name is. Yeah. Yeah, dude, it's, it's, I have no problem with taking a QB5 out of Rayola. And I mean, gosh, haven't, having looked at Nebraska and I'm going through my big time team profiles, I can't help it, you know, I do. I kind of like Nebraska this year.

I can't help it. Yeah. I know maybe it's the Zach Hall effect on me, but that front four is going to be nasty. They're going to have a good defense. Yeah. Right. And that means they're going to, they're going to run the ball more. You know, you got Wells.

year two, Gabriela in there. I mean, I'm not, I'm not upset about any of it. I mean, I got to think top pass catcher. Banks is,

has, has the lead, you know, incumency. But gosh, Malachi Singleton is worth looking at. Worth a good, long look at,

isn't he? Yeah. I love this high school tape. Yeah. Malachi, yeah. I don't want to put him out. Yeah.

It's like, this could be just a straight youth movement. Yeah. Right. Exactly. It's like this could be just a straight youth movement where they say, okay, you know, thanks for coming in banks. He's a good solid veteran hand, but then they're going nuke on Singleton. So that's where I'm looking at.

He's definitely worth a look in dynasties. Yeah, Malachi Coleman. I think Singleton is the Arkansas quarterback. Coleman is the pass catcher from Nebraska. But yes. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Yes, yes, yes.

Sorry. Just in case people are going to. actually draft him on underdog and they look up Singleton. But yeah, Jamal Banks is the guy that, Zach's, Zach Hall, a resident Nebraska fan has been drafting.

So if you're going with the Homer, that's the guy. Okay, one last question, man. I want to ask you, ask the whole handcuff thing. And I want to talk about John Mateer

because I've been in so many drafts at this point. John Mateer is going 10th, 9th, the eighth round and no one's handcuffing him with Eckhouse. They're just, they're doing, and they're just taking Mateer. Can you draft Mateer without handcuffing him? And if so, if not, then is McKear, which we just said you shouldn't? Is Mattier just undraftable at this point? No, because we're going, we're shooting the moon here.

It's not like we're, it's not the 30 team, excuse me, the 12 team 30 man roster that we do, where we are taking the accumulation of all. all the teams that we have and that who determines the winner. This is one team, one shot. So I'm not as worried about, you know, if you're not competing against 12 other teams, you're competing against thousands. Yeah.

So who cares? Who cares? Great. He misses it. That, it's shot anyways. Yeah. I'd rather have somebody at the back end that assumes, okay, Mateer makes it, he takes this gig.

Or on the other side, you know, I think that you could get a lot of value at this point of where we're drafting by taking an Eckhouse. Yes. At the end and having him hit in that QB5 spot of yours and taking that swing, taking the Manning swing, stuff like that. I mean, Riala, I haven't seen him going in particularly high. You could take a swing, whoever it might be,

but you take a shot at that, you know, back end. And QBs that hit like that. Like Anthony Gordon would be the comp for Eckhouse. Yeah. where he was a difference making a league winner in 2019 when he won that Washington State job. League winning job win. And with them going down to the playing a Mountain West schedule with a Power 5 team, Power 4 team, that's something you just can't be ignored.

And you might as well take a swing somewhere on your team and one of your teams. I have no problem with that. You took a Lagway swing. You might as well take a Zeviet House swing. It sounds like it's 40%. And if it's the 40% hits and he gets that job, oh, man, you got a hammer that back end. Yeah. Yeah.

Eckhouse is a guy that I've definitely been taken at the end of drafts. I was curious to get your thoughts for sure. All right. Let's end this show with a little 50 teamer, you know, book in this thing. Oh, yeah. Your draft. So here's our draft. Here's our draft.

If we can do a little share screen here. And hopefully this doesn't mess anything else. But let's see. League draft room. You will see. Oh, yeah, Josh. Nice job. There it is.

Weir's everywhere at the beginning here, right? That third round of running backs. Yeah, you're not kidding. It's the exact opposite of my league where in the second round it was all the running backs and the third round who was the wide receiver. It's the exact opposite. It's just consistent wide receivers all the way out through the first two rounds. Sautchuk goes four with Bainbridge.

Look at Bainbridge. I know. Get with Sanchuk, baby. Wow. Not going to lie. That pick made me feel good in the sense of like, all right. If the drop off is Ash and Janty to Sachuk, that's, you know, he's got some war.

He wasn't playing that CJ Baxter game, was he? He wasn't playing the E.T.N. game. He wasn't going to let it come around and do Marquez, Cooper or Jackson. No, no, no. He's going straight. Full metal saw chuck right out of the gate. Bless you, Michael. Yeah.

No, we're all going in front of Dart. I'm surprised that James didn't take his binky boy dart. But, you know, he waits on QBs. I feel like, uh, you like Caleb Jackson, too. That's pretty good. Yeah. You know, it's funny. I got to look at these drafts and I, I start thinking underdog best ball.

And I'm like, oh, yeah. Of course. Like, uh, Jackson Dart's got the week 12 by, which is the first week of playoffs in this format. Um, and so maybe that's why, um, At 11 in red didn't take DART or took Melro over Darnett. Like I'm not sure. But you start I started thinking through because

Nico 11 by Dardy. My man Pat Dardy and he takes Dionne Burks. That's pretty good. Yeah. It's a good good start for sure. Pretty good one too there. I can't complain about that. Chris Kay, our boy.

Look at that. Look at the running backs for K. Yeah. Good start for him. Louis Chard, Samson, Justice Haynes. Just Haynes at 3.8. my god look at the freaking SEC get that yeah i don't be you know just as hands at 3-8 yeah you guys don't have any talent in the cc that's an embarrassment yeah i was you say who is even

it's it's smith and ashilock and royals and white okay and horton okay yeah you got you got you got some good stuff there in the wise he were front there yeah yeah there yeah there I mean, even like, Alan here. All right. Noah Smith. He's right, right. So, you know, top five.

The nice top three. You got to feel pretty good about that. I'm surprised you left noose on the board, but he's a straight pocket guy. Yeah. You know, Brady Cook was just so consistent too last year. And, you know, the playoff schedule, man. I mean, I'm, you know, rather either not make the playoffs or or win at all. I can't let Bainbridge win it again.

God. We'll never hear the end of it. Never hear of the end. of it. So we got to put a hex on Sotchuk apparently. Yeah. So there you go, man. We shall see. Good stuff. There's the 50 teamer. We'll have a review next week on all that. Yeah, that sounds good. Hey, you have anything that you want to promote?
