Hurry, book at aircanada.com or contact your travel agent. Conditions apply. Air Canada, nice travels. This is Mock Draft Mayhem, part two on Fantasy Football Today Express. I got so excited there.
Starting point is 00:00:39 I knocked my desk over a little bit there. Sorry for the bobble, but we are here with Jamie Isenberg. I'm Adam Azer and we're gonna talk about Ryan Wilson's mock draft. Yesterday we looked at Chris Tripasso's. Now we'll take a look at Ryan Wilson's. He has Ashton Gentry going pretty late falling to the Broncos with the 20th pick in the draft I believe. Yeah, 20th overall. So if that happens, if Gentry goes to the Broncos, how many running backs are you drafting ahead of him? In redraft?
Starting point is 00:01:07 Yeah. He will probably still be in the top 15 overall picks. So I would say that's like running back four or five for me. So definitely I would take him after Bijan, after Gibbs, after Barclay. And right now I have A Chan at four. So I would probably take Genti in that range either four or five. Oh, it'd be so good. I think because Sean Payton has just an extensive track record of throwing to his running backs, not just Alvin Camara. So I would, I would love this landing spot. Would you?
Starting point is 00:01:41 I would, I don't think it's realistic unless the Broncos trade up. And it's funny because I think I referenced in the full length episode and you can see the stories on the site. So we decided to break up the owners meetings for those that have followed us forever or are unaware. So we get a chance to, I get a chance to be around and listen to all the coaches and they speak to the media. So anything they say is kind of fair game for us to use. And we're doing it by division. So I'm trying to find like a relevant fantasy note for every team. And I did the Broncos last night. And Sean Payton was asked, you know, about his running back situation. And he said, they didn't love the free agent class. I'm summarizing here. Didn't love
Starting point is 00:02:17 the free agent class. The draft is filled with a lot of depth. So, they are going to add a running back. Yeah. If he can get his hands on Gentie, I think it would be a dream. It would be very surprising though, if he gets past one of the Raiders or Bears, or potentially Jaguars at the top of the draft. All right, the second question here about Ryan's mock draft is about the Buffalo Bills. And they take Luther Burden, I believe. Yeah, let me just double check.
Starting point is 00:02:45 So they take Burden, yeah, 30th overall. And the question is, how would you rank Buffalo's pass catchers if they take Luther Burden? So assuming that they don't add another veteran, and we're talking about Khalil, Shakir, Kian, Coleman, and Burden, I would probably go Shakir won, Burden two, Coleman three. Okay. Yeah. All of them would be outside the top 40 receivers.
Starting point is 00:03:20 Yeah, it would be pretty bad for Coleman. It wouldn't be so great for Kincaid either. We didn't talk about him, but yeah, I think Burden would have so much more upside than Shakir. They're completely different. It's the safety of Shakir and the upside of Burden, right? Trey Lockerbie I think so. You know, and again, they gave us the blueprint of what an MVP season for Josh Allen could be without having a dominant number one receiver. And so he's going to spread the ball around. He's going to use his legs, as we know. And so I think just based on the receiving core, you know, Brandon Bean was very glowing about Keon Coleman, just, you know, a raw prospect that has the ability to be the alpha there, but they made the trade for Mark Cooper for a reason. It didn't work
Starting point is 00:04:00 out, but they were clearly realizing that this receiving core needed some help. And so they lose Mac Collins. There's an opening for somebody to come in and make some plays. I just don't know if Birden steps in and becomes, oh my God, this is now the new Stefan Diggs. I just don't know if they need that. So Shakir just based on, like you said, his safety, his floor, uh, still gives him to be in the number three receiver range. I just don't know if any of these guys are must start guys in a two receiver league. Okay. We're going to take a break. Talk about where Omarion Hampton is landing in this draft from Ryan Wilson. We'll be right back on Fantasy Football Today Express.
Starting point is 00:04:31 Welcome back everybody. All right, so Omarion Hampton out of North Carolina. So he goes to the Raiders in round two, 37th overall. And how do you feel about that? Love that. You know, again, I think. You can look at some teams and say, OK, get a rookie running back at a high
Starting point is 00:04:49 profile rookie running back can step in right away and be a starter and how good could that be for fantasy? This is one of those destinations. This is one of those players you know, so I would almost think that Hampton to Denver makes more sense based on where they're picking at 20th versus gently
Starting point is 00:05:03 falling there. But if you say that he gets through to round two and that's the destination, as we talked about, you know, Chris Strapasso's mock draft with Tech McMillan going to the Raiders. If you were to say they come out of this draft with McMillan and Hampton, that's a home run first two rounds for fantasy and reality because this Raiders offensive line is better than a lot of people realize. I think Chip Kelly is going to come in and do some nice things. It's often coordinator.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Do you know Smith is going to be much better at the quarterback spot. And so Hampton would be not far behind Gentie. Uh, I don't think he's going to go in the first round. I don't think he ended up going in the second round, but round three, I, that's where we're going to start to talk about him. You know, so you get to that Bucky Irving, um, Chris Brown, chase, excuse me, chase Brown, um, range, you know, of RB 10, 11, 12.
Starting point is 00:05:49 That's where Hampton will come in for me. It's just crazy. The drafts that we have done late round two into the middle of round three, I'm just blown away by how good the running backs are there. Right. It's James Cook. I'm not saying all these guys are going to last, but James Cook, Bucky Irving, excuse me.
Starting point is 00:06:04 I have to sneeze. I'm not saying all these guys are gonna last, but James Cook, Bucky Irving. Oh, excuse me. I have to sneeze. I'm back. James Cook, Bucky Irving, Chase Brown, Jonathan Taylor's been falling in PPR. And then you're gonna put Gentie in there. He's not gonna go that that late, but he's gonna bump somebody back and you're gonna put Hampton in there hopefully. And this loaded running back class. It's it's pretty interesting. And maybe for some people a compelling reason to take a wide receiver early in the first round instead of a running back. All right. So you say you're gonna love if you start out chase Jefferson, lamb, maybe neighbors, maybe Puka, you know, with one of your first picks. And then you come back in round two and you have the choice
Starting point is 00:06:44 of four or five of these guys, you know, one might fall your first picks. And then you come back in round two and you have the choice of four or five of these guys. You know, one might fall to round two, excuse me, round three. Imagine going Jefferson at let's say four, if he's there. Trey McBride in round two. And then Chase Brown, Gentie, no not Gentie, Chase Brown or Hampton, round three. It's pretty enticing.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Yeah. Okay, we've got, or Hampton, round three. It's pretty enticing. Yeah. Okay. We've got, let's see, Tyler Warren going to the Colts with the 14th pick in the draft. What's Tyler Warren's tight end upside if the Colts select him? Yeah, it's going to be frustrating if he ends up there, you know, just so the hope would be clearly that Richardson working with Josh Allen's quarterback coach and getting better and you know, beating out Daniel Jones for the job Helps with his accuracy forty seven point seven percent completion percentage last year was terrible
Starting point is 00:07:30 so if he can be closer to a sixty percent completion guy, which is asking a lot and Then you're giving him a guy that can win in the middle of the field because I think he will challenge in the middle of Field I think he's gonna have that type of profile if he can become a more polished passer Which is again a big ask but then he can end up being a great fantasy option because you know, this is a guy that we've seen most of his big plays come down the field. It's hurt, you know, guy like Michael Pittman, for example. So this is not the most ideal landing spot. So you're asking a lot of Richardson to take the next step and be better. I would not love Tyler Warren going to the Colts. Yeah, that'd be horrible. However, I would prefer Daniel Jones to Richardson. Even if Richardson does improve, I still don't think
Starting point is 00:08:10 you have a lot of passing yards or passing touchdowns there. I mean, to me, Richardson improving is about him keeping the job. He's not going to lead a passing offense. That's all that. I don't want to say productive, but putting up numbers just because of his profile. Now Jones obviously isn't either, but I still think Jones could get to like 34 or 3500 yards. I don't really see that from Richardson, but please don't put Tyler Warren on the Colts. It's just right. Let's just not even go there. All right, Jamie, thank you very much. We got so much NFL draft
Starting point is 00:08:44 prep on FFT and coming up in the coming weeks on FFT Express and we'll talk to you next time. Have a great weekend everybody.
