Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your hosts Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Oh, welcome in. No, Jason. What? Oh, welcome in. No, Jason. What? What is that face? Oh man.
Starting point is 00:00:30 What is that? My face is the face of disappointment. For the what? It's draft time? It's draft day. It's giraffe day. It's literally- I mean, he would have had to say-
Starting point is 00:00:38 The draft day. He would have had to say it's draft day time. No, just it's draft day. That works. It's draft day. No, I would have had to extend it out and that would have sound like giraffe You have said far worse things. Oh, I know I know giraffe time, but then I Rain did it. Well, I think there's a disappointment in the air. Yeah
Starting point is 00:00:59 The YouTube comments shall rain Fire down upon you. That's fine. Oh man. That's fine. It is the NFL draft today. I get it. I get it. Look, when there is something that is so special that you need to have a gatekeeper and apparently I have to be the one to protect the sanctity of his football time. It's what Disney couldn't do with Star Wars. They didn't. Right. They released too many. Yeah, I went old school Disney. It's football time's in the vault yeah until until Thursday when you have something that I'm on team Mike no I don't need 75 different Star Wars shows okay that's special hold on how many times a year is the NFL dry once that's not what it's
Starting point is 00:01:42 rare enough it's not what it's known for. Oh man. It's known for football time. Not walk on a stage and take a jersey time. Well, it's the NFL draft and the time is now. No matter what, we're excited. Thursday, April 24th, it's draft day. We are going to make all of our predictions on today's show. It's a special, very early release of this episode so that
Starting point is 00:02:05 everybody can get into the draft day spirit with us. And so I'm very excited. We have a giveaway. We just announced it on Tuesday. You can still get in on it. We're giving away listener league spot. We want you to come and play with us in the listener league, which is which is you know we only give a couple of these away and it's very special yeah most of the listener league spots that we have what we'll announce at some point later towards the season where and when you can send your submissions to like apply for the listener league and a lot of times people are like I don't have I can't make a cool funny video video to win my submission, so we give away a couple spots as well.
Starting point is 00:02:47 And so this is one of the big ones, the draft day giveaway, we have a listener league entry, a signed Jamar Chase mini helmet, a signed Gimme that. Baker Mayfield jersey, and to enter you just need to have ordered the UDK or become an Ultimate Foot Clan member before Sunday April 27th. So the Ultimate Draft Kit, it is the premier tool to dominate draft day.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Every tool and resource and projection and player profile videos and everything will be a part of it and that is ultimatedraftkit.com. Anybody that's ordered so far, you're already entered to win, so don't worry about that. If you have the dynasty pass, the big update will be coming very soon. But we know that people want to get into rookie drafts as soon as possible, because that's where we are.
Starting point is 00:03:37 We like to start those things Sunday or Monday at the latest. So rookie ranks of the update, those will be up as soon as we can possibly get them up. And we have a live stream. We will be answering your questions and reflecting on the first round that happens tonight. We'll be doing that tomorrow, Friday. BallersLive.com, 6pm Eastern, 3pm Pacific, an hour before round two taking your questions probably do some more giveaway stuff on there and Kind of reflecting our quick reactions to round one and everything that transpired in how we got all the prediction predictions, right? When you say we you mean? Mine because they're different than yours, so we can't both get them correct. That's probably true. Yeah, that's probably true all of our draft
Starting point is 00:04:22 so we can't both get them correct. That's probably true. That's probably true. All of our draft predictions on today's show for all the major players that are in position, which is a lot of fun. We got the news, but we got to get into our quick question. It's an important one. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:04:35 We're going at the top of the show. Look, we promised you a story two episodes ago. We said, hey, production team team put it in our show doc remind us that we need to tell this story of what happened here with the Falcon who's sitting over there in kind of a muddled shame shadowing his face and guess what we forgot to tell you about this story no no no no no no. Because. Oh okay okay. Because the guilty party. No. Stolen. Did you not hear this part? What? He took it out of the show dock. Are you kidding me? And he's done it three times. Why is he sitting here? He's done it three times. Why has he
Starting point is 00:05:18 not been fired? We are the most gracious, just grace-filled employers of all time. This man should not, we're so humble. This man should not be working here. Yeah, the real team, the real crack team. He really deleted it? They were putting it in? He deleted it out of the game. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:05:35 We thought the deucers were messing up, but no. The Falcon was stealing it out of the show dock. Whoa, speaking of that. Hoping that if he did it, speaking of stealing. Yeah, speaking of the Falcon stealing from this company, that's the story. So the great story is Jason and Mike were out of town. They were in Chicago,
Starting point is 00:05:54 keynoting the Podcast Evolutions Conference, just trying to move our company forward so we can provide for all of our employees. We're away from the families. We're like, we're putting work in. Working hard for the podcast industry. We're away from the families. We're like, we're putting work in. Working hard for the podcast industry to employ people like the Falcon. And we get a message from Andy.
Starting point is 00:06:11 We get a message. Here's the truth. I try to be a really fiscally responsible leader of the company. Again, just so I can provide for our employees so we can be efficient and effective. And I just happen to, now, one of the things that we do here every day, it's how we build the team,
Starting point is 00:06:28 is we buy lunch for everybody, every day. And most of the time, that's through DoorDash. So every day, everybody puts an order in. We got the Falcon and Papa Josh and Al and the three of us and our dev team and Jake. And we're ordering every day, DoorDash, DoorDash, DoorDash. And I go and I look at our credit card statement,
Starting point is 00:06:51 I'm like these are just, you know, DoorDash, DoorDash. And then I go, wait a minute, something's wrong. Yeah, there's some weird charges. And I start asking poor Al over there, I go, are you accidentally using the company card for your personal home door to are you doing that? No, sir Yeah, we were in Chicago. We get the message. Hey, my Andy. Did you guys order whatever it was? Some places that I don't Shake Shack next to me. I wish did we ever get Shake Shack?
Starting point is 00:07:22 No at the office never No, never got Shake Shack. Huh, there's a bunch of Shake Shack on there. But Shake Shack was certainly ordered on our card. Yeah, at a bunch of places. Well, and so then Andy just goes to work. He's like, I gotta find... Well, who is this? Yeah, these two orders,
Starting point is 00:07:37 someone ordered on our company card two times, couple of times. With Shake Shack and some places like the Poke Bar. And like, that has, it definitely happens to us. Oh yeah. And we're like, you do, when it's the three of us, we have a walk of shame, we're like, I owe the company $60 and we go put it on the whiteboard. And we pay the company back?
Starting point is 00:08:00 Yeah. I mean, we're upstanding. Stand up guys, stand up guys.. And then suddenly it begins to unravel. You know who knows all of these places? BJ's restaurant and Poke Bar and Shake Shack. There's one individual in the office that does know. Oh, I like all those places. He's like, I'm very familiar.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Turns out Foot Clan. The string, Andy just kept pulling the string on the sweater. String of fraud and I keep pulling it and lo and behold, this is as of like two weeks ago all the way back to last August, the Falcon has somehow left our company card in his personal door dash somehow for six months, 48 orders, 40. It's not like you. How did you not be like man this is free. I've never getting charged. Two thousand eighty two dollars and thirty six cents. You used our card forty eight times. I didn't notice it would have been forty eight more guys. Oh thousand more. I mean he clearly does not pay attention. I found this much to his benefit, because he cut us a check. The next day, he was loaded.
Starting point is 00:09:32 He's like, man, I've had free food for months. That's an easy check to write. But imagine if this had happened, and it would have been hard to see because we ordered Door Dash for the company every day. And lo and behold, so we definitely gave him a hard time. We found out which places he orders at. He most often ordered, 34% of his orders were Monday. Oh yeah, we charted this up. Sunday was 20% of his orders.
Starting point is 00:09:59 What was the most popular restaurant there, Falcon? It was Shake Shack. Was it Shake Shack? Shake Shack. I have to drive 20 minutes to it now. I get that. There's a lot of interesting things on here which I'm going to call out the most shameful. Uh oh.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Four and a half percent is McDonald's. Yeah. And I'm not clowning on McDonald's. But there's got to be pretty close to you. Yeah, it's not far. You're delivering at McDonald's? Man, come on. 5.6 percent Taco Bell.
Starting point is 00:10:24 Yeah, I mean I promise you're two minutes away from both of those places You can just go get it right now and I mean, yeah, but then he would have to use his real card, right? That's true. He doesn't have our company card on him So that's a no question because it's been two weeks since you were outed Have you put our company card back on your account yet? Not yet. Okay. He's also stopped ordering. I think it was more of an intervention that happened because I think he deleted the app altogether.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Good for you. It wasn't even his company card. It was mine. They'll never catch me. They'll think it's Jeremy. They want, he wanted to bury you. I guess Andy was asking if it was my wife. He's like, is there any chance? I was like, who's did this? Is is it does your wife order 48 times oh my goodness Falcon again how is he here how is he working here we you know we looked into it and he's just an idiot yeah that the results that... Guilty! Being a moron!
Starting point is 00:11:26 That wasn't... Nothing nefarious! Right! He's just dumb. He's just dumb. Any final words? I mean, do you have anything you want to weigh in on for the... Hundreds of thousands of people that are watching you get bodied right now? Nah, I'm an idiot. So there's your story story and here's some news News and notes from around the league He was deleting it out of the show doc he did not want to shame brought to the
Starting point is 00:11:57 That I was like, how did we keep forgetting he deleted it? Yeah. Yeah, I mean gracious crafty crafty guy All right, a emir a schemer Yeah hopped up on McDonald's All right, we have some news Christian McCaffrey participating in the offseason program with no restrictions Okay, George Kittle not reporting for voluntary OTAs once he might want some schmuck the shmoney wants some contract adjustments and Purdy is not yet under a new contract either pretty is in camp but yeah he did show up to the voluntary which is a good sign that that
Starting point is 00:12:34 negotiations are getting close James Cook did not report once that shmoney yeah every it's that time of year. Hold on, guys. These are... Oh, wait. Hold on. What do we have? Breaking news. We have an additional little tidbit coming in from another employee. This is coming in from one of our dev team.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Apparently, the Falcon tried to bribe Schneider to remove the slack reminder, so we wouldn't mention it on the show today. Oh my God. What was the bribe? A free round of golf. Oh my goodness. Oh, it's a real bribe. Unfortunately, due to us taking his ability to buy free food, he has no money to bribe
Starting point is 00:13:21 with. The rest of us being honorable men. All right, the Saints picking up the fifth year option on Chris Olave, Jalen Warren, who we expected to, signed a one year $5.3 million contract. He had been a restricted free agent with a second round tender. Second round tender, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:39 And then we have Diana Racini reporting, the Browns, Steelers, and Vikings are the most likely suitors for Kirk Cousins. I can't believe the Vikings are even being mentioned there. Yeah, it is surprising. In that mention, it was said that that's the least likely of the destinations. He wants to go.
Starting point is 00:13:57 I mean, it's been reported that he has to basically approve the destination. He doesn't want to go to a place with a young, promising quarterback. And so obviously the bike- He doesn't want to be benched for assessing your quarterback? Yeah, he doesn't want what happened this last year to happen again. So maybe that's why, I know Andy, you think that this is pretty much a done deal to the Browns.
Starting point is 00:14:18 You've been saying this for a long time. Just setting up my own moment on the show to be wrong, but- Well, yeah, or to be right. But when I read this report, I was thinking, you know, it makes a lot of sense. If you're Kirk Cousins and you have to approve the destination, to say, let's wait till after the draft.
Starting point is 00:14:35 I don't want to go get traded to the Browns, and then they pull the trigger. You know, Shador slips to the second round, and they pull the trigger on it. You know, it's like. Why, time only benefits the teams that are trying to add Kirk Cousins as their starter, because it wears down the demands of the Falcons
Starting point is 00:14:54 and how much salary compensation. Because the last thing, I mean, the Falcons can play hardball, but the last thing on earth they want is backup Kirk Cousins, legitimately. Because that is a huge problem, distraction, turmoil in the locker room. What happens if Pinnock struggles to start the season? All of that stuff that is Kirk Cousins will not play for the Falcons this year. So depending, that I am fairly sure of. So whether it's the Browns or Steelers, see what happens
Starting point is 00:15:24 in the draft. The Browns probably not gonna draft a quarterback Steelers very well could move forward with a rookie They might be Zack Moss back to the Bengals restructured deal. It was a season-ending neck injury It was scary the chance of him playing At full capacity. I wouldn't say it's guaranteed yet. It's not a guarantee, but this one is, I think it is interesting that they went back and I'm assuming that Moss is taking less money, something like that, to stay on the team, where the Bengals had been doing multiple visits with high profile running backs. I wonder if they were under the assumption like, well, Moss won't be okay. We don't like the money anyways,
Starting point is 00:16:07 but maybe they've kind of patched that up and Bengals will not be on running back watch, who knows? We shall see. We're gonna take a very quick break. Oh, by the way, Patrick Mahomes did say he wants to get back to explosive passing plays. Yeah, we all want you to get back there. Does he have Tyreek Hill?
Starting point is 00:16:27 He doesn't have Tyreek Hill, but last year he didn't have Hollywood Brown and Rushie Rice for the majority of it. So he's got a competent wide receiver group this upcoming season. I mean, if you've got Rushie Rice and Xavier Worthy looked good towards the second half of last year in Hollywood Brown. Worthy would be the key to the deep passing game.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Yes. So it'll be interesting. I think every fantasy player is kind of like, show us. Let's do that. Show us. All right, we'll take a break, and then it's right into the draft predictions for all the major offensive players
Starting point is 00:17:01 that we expect to see drafted over the next couple of days. Well that's new. That one's not for you guys. That's new. Plenty of people are very excited right now. Alright. I mean I think it's for us. We liked it. It was fine.
Starting point is 00:17:41 It was a little different. Yeah. I think the inspiration is unknown for us. I'm a little scared. No, of course it is. Yeah. Because it's fun. We're on cultured swine.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Yeah, it was probably some video game that was released only in one country in 1988. Something like that. Nope. Well, look, last year we competed on the NFL Draft 2024 predictions. I'm gonna be honest, I asked you guys today who won. I thought I won last year.
Starting point is 00:18:11 You didn't. I didn't. You guys tied with six correct predictions. For this game, that's a lot. And I had five. Which I think on a normal year, I feel like that would've won. But you guys outpace me.
Starting point is 00:18:27 So away we go. The quarterback position, we'll start there. Cam Ward, we all have him going number one of the Titans. Sometimes you get a layup. One of all of our answers last year was Caleb at the 101. So we'll move on to the sportsbook line is minus 20,000 to go which if you if you're not sure what that means yeah that means if you want to make a hundred dollars on your bet
Starting point is 00:18:54 you would have to and get it correct you would have to pay twenty thousand dollars and risk that to get a hundred bucks yeah yeah. So do our Sanders let's let's move forward. We'll talk about Sanders, Dart, and Milro in our predictions. Shadour is a really tough one. His DK Sportsbook line is 10 and 1 half is the over under on where he's going to go. That's down a little bit more from where
Starting point is 00:19:21 it was a few weeks ago. Shadour, like back at the combine, was the odds on favorite for the number one pick. Like in terms of the markets. It certainly seemed for a long- There was a lot of like Cam Ward versus Sanders who would get the knot. Yeah, and then it was, okay, feels like Cam Ward is the one,
Starting point is 00:19:39 but will Shador go two or three? You know, and I know every Patriot fan out there was really, really, really, really hoping that Shador was a second or third pick to one of those two teams ahead of them. Because you've got Abdul Carter and you've got Travis Hunter. They want one of those guys. They're not going to get him.
Starting point is 00:20:01 I'm going to go with the Saints. You guys went with the same team. I'm going with the Saints, whether it's at nine or whether they are persuaded to move back a couple of spots by Dallas moving up, Chicago moving up, even the Colts maybe for a tight end. I think the Saints are in too desperate a situation to not pull the trigger
Starting point is 00:20:28 in the first round and fix a situation that looks very broken, Derek Carr, the shoulder. You know, some people don't think that they like Sanders very much. I think that when push comes to shove, they'll take him. Yeah, I mean, I've got him going to a team that, did you change yours, Mike? No. Oh, okay, so we both had these. Mike and I both have them going to the Steelers.
Starting point is 00:20:47 This is a team who has about as bad a depth chart at quarterback as humanly possible. They have good wide receivers now, as of today, no draft trades happening. DK Metcalf and George Pickens on the roster. And it's funny, because I watched an interview recently with Shador Sanders. He was talking about the great tandems.
Starting point is 00:21:10 And the way he was talking about those two. And he's like, Pickens and Metcalf? He's like, whoever that quarterback is, it's going to be really happy. It's kind of like when Cam Ward said that Taj De Spiers and Tony Pollard are the best two running backs in football. Exactly. Andy, did you say his line? It has moved.
Starting point is 00:21:29 Yeah, I said it was 10 and 1 half. It's now 14 and 1 half. So it is. Just checking in. Looks like 15. It's moving down. But yeah, I've got them to the Steelers with their first-round pick at 21.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Well, we'll flippity floppity, Mike. Jackson Dart, you have going to the Saints. And I have Jackson Dart to the Steelers. So I definitely believe the Steelers will take a quarterback. We just have different ones. Jason, I like yours as well. You have the Giants.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Yeah, I think that I'm not as high on Jackson Dart as a lot of people, so I have him slipping a little further behind Sanders. And if that's the case, you could either get to the New York Giants pick at 34, or they're at the very top of the second so I think it would be likely and probably smart to get that fifth-year option to trade up into the back of the first and grab your quarterback there so I've got him as a Giants. So three different picks there Steelers for myself Giants for Jason
Starting point is 00:22:21 the Saints for Mike and then Jalen Mil. This one's much more of a... Prayer? Yeah. Dart throw? A dart throw for all of us because it's not going to be a first round pick most likely. And I'm going to go with the Dolphins. I think maybe a player that they can bring in and have ready knowing that Tua can go down in a moment's notice. That would be great. I really do hope that they address their backup
Starting point is 00:22:45 quarterback position. I have them being a backup quarterback as well, going to the Jets, someone that can run the same system as Justin Fields, being that mobile runner if Fields were to go down and also plan for the future, because Fields might not be it. Yeah, I originally did have the Jets as well. And the Millrose play style of him being a rider in Millrose
Starting point is 00:23:10 place. Oh, baby. Oh, yeah. I was like, did I say it wrong? No, but Millrose place. That's going to stick. Yeah. Both Ian and I were like, did he say Millrose?
Starting point is 00:23:21 This is so funny. We are predicting Millrose place right now. We, oh man, this? Did he? Yes. So funny. We are predicting Milro's place right now. We, oh man, this is so good. Yeah. We talked about him a good amount on this week's Dynasty podcast of I'm getting a little more excited about the potential for Jalen Milro long term.
Starting point is 00:23:38 Not an immediate start, because I don't think he's going to go in the first round. But I'm sending him in the second round to the Cleveland Browns. I want to change mine now to the Rams. The Rams is also another interesting spot. Miller's place was in Los Angeles. So if he, you know? This is very astute.
Starting point is 00:23:58 With Matthew Stafford, they've got to start playing. No, it's not about that. Well, what's funny is I was genuinely between the Jets and the Rams. Those were the two teams that I was deciding on. Are you formally changing it? I'm going to formally change. I'm going to the Rams.
Starting point is 00:24:09 So you're going from the Jets to the Rams. I'm going to Milro's place. Let's go. What a sucker. I hope you have Rams later. I just totally screwed everything up for you. No. All right, we've got running backs.
Starting point is 00:24:20 This is where we get juicy. It's exciting because it's rare when a player is expected to go in the top ten and we have Three different destinations, but that's the way it is right now Ashton Gentile. I Believe it. Oh man, you're buying it. I think he's going to Jacksonville at pick five who have where I was terrified to put in here Then I saw mr. Pat Schrager come out with his mock this morning, which also had him to Jacksonville. So I will, I'm going to stick with it. Almost everyone has the Jaguars focused on offense. And I think because of Liam Cohn
Starting point is 00:24:56 coming in, they want a skill position addition. So whether they take the tight end, the wide receiver, the running back, it makes sense. I just, I don't believe that they'll, I don't think they'll do it with Travis ETN and take Bigsby on the roster. I'm gonna take the next team on the clock. So this will be like the domino for us. Right.
Starting point is 00:25:18 Because it affects what other teams have availability. I'm gonna take them going to the Raiders. And I am saying both the Jags and the Raiders are doing smoke coverage. They're trying to get other teams to move up for Ashton Gentry, who is like the bell of the ball for the running back position. But I have them making it to 10.
Starting point is 00:25:37 And the Chicago Bears taking Ashton Gentry. And the people with the 101 in your rookie drafts are, they are so excited. Yes, Josh, I'm talking about you. You're not gonna chime in, Josh? Of those three destinations, Jaguars, Raiders, and Bears. Are you listening to the show, Josh?
Starting point is 00:25:54 I'm listening. I'm just trying to save it. Okay. Okay. Of those Jaguars, Raiders, Bears, order those for fantasy. I mean, Bears would be one. Bears, Raiders, Jags, probably. I think so, as well. That's how I would put it too. But, excellent, excellent, excellent. Yeah. He's going to be fine. You're going to hope it doesn't work out your way. You're going to hope, you will see it here
Starting point is 00:26:15 later how I have it working out. You'd be very excited. All right, we're moving to, who's next? O'Marian Hampton. O'Marian Hampton, I went with Dallas. Oh, are you going 12? I think so. Oh, man, you Hampton people. I love Hampton. I'm taking the Gibbs surprise angle here. His over-under is 19 and 1.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Yeah, so that'd be very under. I think Gentie's going to be gone. And I think, look, no one saw Gibbs going at 12. Or what was it? Was it 12, 11? I think that sounds right. To the Lions. I think when push comes to shove for the Cowboys,
Starting point is 00:26:57 they don't have a running game. And I think this is going to be too tantalizing. And I think it's the right pick. They are going to take a running back, and they are going to take a wide receiver. and they are going to take a wide receiver, and they're going to try to find one that is good, a real difference maker. If it wasn't for the depth of running back in this draft class and the dearth, what's the opposite of depth here?
Starting point is 00:27:18 Oh, the opposite of depth shallow? Yeah, but I wanted something that starts with D. So if you could find a word that starts with D that means shallow, that'd be great. Of the wide receiver position, I think they're going to take a wide receiver with their first round. Grab one later. I've got them dropping to the Broncos' dearth. In inadequate supply or scarcity.
Starting point is 00:27:39 Okay, that works. That works exactly right. I think you got it. So the dearth of wide receivers in this draft class, I think, will take the Cowboys drafting one in the first. I'm going to take the Broncos at 20. His over-under is 19 and a half, because that's right where, like, will he go? And I have him going, still in the first round, I got him going to the Manders.
Starting point is 00:28:02 But contractually, I cannot predict O'Marian Hampton to be drafted before Trevion Henderson. Due to your obligation to to Henderson yes to Henderson which you have that's who we're talking about I'll just jump in I have a little bit of a sense I do too yeah I have the Broncos for Trevion he's a he's such a perfect fit for what they want to do on offense he He's a perfect fit there. I think this could be where you guys win over me if he gets to the Broncos. I don't think he'll go past him.
Starting point is 00:28:32 But Mike, where I said I think you're gonna like how mine goes, I have the Gibbs surprise that Andy brought up where it was really shocking when it was at 12. I've got the Bears, assuming Gentie is not on the board. I think the Bears at 10 would consider Trevion Henderson, even though that's way higher than where he's projected to go. That's how I have it going.
Starting point is 00:28:52 A surprise top 10 pick Trevion Henderson. If I... The most explosive, the highest explosive rush rate in the entire class. So that's, yeah, plays of 10 or more yards. If I had projected, if I didn't send Gentie to the Bears, if I had done him five or six, Henderson would have gone to 10 for me, too.
Starting point is 00:29:11 All right, Quintchon, Judkins, I am going to the Giants. Jason? I've got him going to the Cowboys in the second round. Mike? I'm going Raiders second round. OK, there you go. Caleb Johnson we do have a shared name here myself and Jason. See Caleb Johnson arriving on Cincinnati's offensive. You guys clearly were not up to speed with the Zach Moss news. I saw the Zach Moss news did not scare me. Don't you care? You clearly- This is Zachary Moss?
Starting point is 00:29:47 You clearly aren't up to date with the fact that Caleb Johnson is a Cincinnati boy, born and raised a fan of the Bengals, wants to go home. They've brought in a couple top 30 options. I think Caleb Johnson ends up- Including Caleb Johnson. Yeah. Did not realize that the team you wanna go to
Starting point is 00:30:03 is the place that you get drafted When you are a family run organization like the Bengals it's like oh, that's a hometown kid. Oh man Uh, I can't wait to draft him and not pay him later on exactly. I'm going with Pittsburgh who has made several visits with running backs, but I think that they will They can wait a little bit into the back of the second, or maybe even a little later. All right, Cameron Scattaboo, it's time. Oh man.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Mike, you went with the Bengals. I was not aware of the Zach Moss news. Yeah, but this is Bengals in the sixth round. This is Bengals, this is Cam Scattaboo falling in the draft when I do not think he should. He should not. But I think that he's gonna be a value pick for whoever wants him in the Bengals. I should have left the Zach Moss news off the news.
Starting point is 00:30:51 That would have done the best service for the show. I have the Chargers, the new home for Kam Skattaboo. Oh man, I would love that. That would be, if that happened, I can't imagine any other player going to any other destination where I would be more excited. You know what pick it would be? Oh. That's good enough for me.
Starting point is 00:31:11 Or later, or later. Or later. Probably beyond that. But if they took him in the second round, that's what it'd be. Yeah, I have him going to the Giants. They're looking for a bruising first and second down back. Now, Cam's great as a pass catcher.
Starting point is 00:31:24 That's why I took Judkins there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bruiser. Makes sense. All right, so Chargers, Giants, Bengals for Cam Scataboo. We are going to take a quick break, and then we'll talk about wide outs. All right, it's time to talk about draft predictions, wide receivers, Travis Hunter, Browns, Browns,
Starting point is 00:31:49 Browns. We all have him going at number two to the Browns. And it seems like he's going to be a wide receiver. Yes, it does. And he sure hopes so. He should be. And look, if Kirk Cousins goes to the Browns. You've got some weapons there. He's too good. I mean three months ago it was basically a foregone conclusion that he
Starting point is 00:32:09 was a cornerback and might cycle in as a wide receiver because that's the only thing that's ever happened in history but he is just he's too good at wide receiver to not play wide receiver for your team. All right I might make a live pivot here. Oh! But why don't you guys talk about where Tedaro McMillan's gonna go. T-Mac has been falling in a lot of mocks,
Starting point is 00:32:32 sometimes being the first wide receiver off the board, still in the 20s, and that could happen, but because the wide receiver draft class doesn't have a lot of studs, I think teams are going to overdraft, and I've got them going to the Jets at seven. That is spicy. So seven? Yeah, I mean it's one of those picks where you've got Garrett Wilson. I was looking at their depth chart and it's like,
Starting point is 00:32:57 you got Garrett Wilson and hot garbage. They absolutely need, and you could see Tyler Warren going here. I really hope he doesn't. That would just make me very sad, because I don't think he'd be good here. I think he should go to the Jets. But anyways, I've got TMac. I really thought for just the longest time, I'm going to send them to the Cowboys. It makes so much sense at 12. They really need another wide receiver, a guy who can complement CD Lamb. But I think that the Cowboys are going to fall in love with a different trait.
Starting point is 00:33:29 So I got T-Mac dropping a bit. And the Green Bay Packers changing their strategy of, like, they don't take wide receivers this high. But I think that all the chatter out of the team of, we need a true number one wide receiver, they're going to go get one. I could see it. If he were to get to the Packers pick, and I don't think he will.
Starting point is 00:33:50 But if he gets there, I could definitely see. That's what they need, this real kind of alpha prospect. It's very interesting to me. I went Chargers. Oh, that was your pivot. The pick right before the Packers, the Chargers at 22. So Mike and I have them dropping a little bit. That was the pivot?
Starting point is 00:34:09 Yep. Okay. Matthew Golden, you guys have a shared team. Yeah, this was what I was talking about. The Cowboys are going to see the speed. So you have the Cowboys taking Matthew Golden over T-Mac. I do. See, if they were both there, in mine, because I have T-Mac going at seven,
Starting point is 00:34:26 that's why I've got him taking Matthew Golden. I think if they were both on the board, they'd go T-Mac. They should. This is more of a left field one for me. I don't mind it. I'm going to go with the Lions. I think Matthew Golden to the Lions. You've got a contract situation coming up
Starting point is 00:34:42 for Jameson Williams. Trade rumors? Weird. Yeah, trade rumors about him too. I think it's all related. What's the long-term future for him on that organization? Matthew Golden, it could happen. So I think the Lions, I'll make the pick there. Amika Egbuka, I'm going Raiders.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Oh. That would be great. So you have him dropping, hitting his over on, because he's 29 and a half. He is 29 and a half. He is 29 and a half. He's not that old. Nice. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:35:09 Sorry. You can, yeah, that's fine. Right now they have picked 37. I think they could use, they could move up as well. But I have a buka to the Raiders. I've got him still going in the first round to the Texans. The loss of Stephon Diggs and the current health with Tank Dell, they need another weapon.
Starting point is 00:35:31 Of course, they need offensive line too. Yeah, every time I kept putting one of these wide receivers to the Texans, they need a player. They're like, oh, they need to fix other stuff. I got Ibuka going to the Chargers in the first round, just so slightly under his 29 and 1. And then we've got Luther Burden III. I have the Titans as his home.
Starting point is 00:35:55 Oh. I think the Titans have. Oh, Cam Ward. Yeah, they're going to give. The QB wide receiver special. They're going to give Cam Ward somebody. And so this is my pick of the somebody that they're going give him make sense Jason
Starting point is 00:36:06 I like this pick free, you know your selection here. It was tempting with Golden or somebody else you weren't the 49 I went with the 49ers as kind of the the Debo light replacement They need wide receivers there with Brandon Iuk's injury Debo gone So yeah, and I think he can slip to them in a second. And then Sean McVeigh. He got Devontae Adams, they got Puka. They need a guy who can go there and be a slot player, the replacement for Cooper Cupps.
Starting point is 00:36:36 So I got the Rams figuring out a way to get burden on the team. All right, at tied in, Tyler Warren and Colston Loveland could both, they could both be really, really. They could be both Loveland could both they could both be really really good they could be both top ten pick they could both be top ten picks in fact Mike thanks Brock Bowers Mike you have these two guys these two guys have got to be just calling up Brock be like dude thank you so much for what you did last year they're hot and bothered about both of these guys and
Starting point is 00:37:02 Mike I got a pick seven yeah I got Warren going inside the top 10 for sure because I got him going to the Jets. I could see it. I was tempted. I went Colts. Jason, you went Colts as well. Yes, sir. Which is what?
Starting point is 00:37:14 Pick right now, 12? No, I think they're 14. 14, OK. And then Colston Loveland, I took a shot here. Oh. I think these Mark Andrews discussions are not, you know, there's some smoke fire. Mark Andrews says he expects to be on the Ravens.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Yeah, that's a great, great endorsement. Don't you put that evil on me. If they trade. I'm taking the Ravens. If they trademark Andrews, please don't draft a re-uasement. Is that likely? Because I've got Isaiah likely. Just let the man shine.
Starting point is 00:37:48 Give him his time in the sun. Honestly, I'm going to be wrong on this pick. He's just not going to fall as far back as where the Ravens are. If they could move up a few picks, maybe he'll probably go higher. I've got him going a few picks higher to the Chargers, who really do need another offensive pass catcher if the big, you know, if T-Mac and those type of wide receivers are off the board, they can fill it in with Colts and Loveland. Mike's just going to be right on both of these guys.
Starting point is 00:38:14 I have the Colts taking the- It's going to be- The second option. It's going to be Warren at seven and Loveland at 14. Oh, I like this. I like this confidence. I don't know why I'm picking these other names. Because it's fun. Yeah, that's why.
Starting point is 00:38:26 So there you go. There's the two big tight end names. I think Kyle put some stats in there, but my live pivot might have messed them up a little bit. But according to Kyle, based on the current odds for all of these players, Jason has the highest odds to win at 37%. I'm not surprised.
Starting point is 00:38:44 We call him chalk around here and then Mike at 33%. I'm at 31%. And there you go. You like that nickname? You've been searching for a nickname for years. Chalk could be that seems good. Chalk. Chalk. Chalk is a bad name. That's not a great name. No. Chalk. Get over here, chalk. Let's not have that one stick. Double stuff is not relevant anymore. Yeah. You're only single stuff.
Starting point is 00:39:12 We're searching. OK, there you go. We've got a draft coming up shortly. Please join us on the live stream tomorrow. It's going to be a lot of fun. BallersLive.com. 6 PM Eastern, 3 PM of fun. Ballerslive.com, 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 p.m. Pacific. Ballerslive.com will take you right there. We'll also tweet about it.
Starting point is 00:39:31 Falcon, still employed. He'll take care of getting the word out on the livestream. Look, if you need a party catered. Something to eat. He's got a great way to do it. Yeah, yeah. Go grab the boss's credit card. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was one of the greatest thing that's ever happened. You know, for I was
Starting point is 00:39:53 normally when an employee steals 2000 plus dollars from you, it's not a good thing. It was the greatest thing that could have ever happened. We were the entertainment value. We were only able to give him crap on Slack from Chicago, but I just kept hearing from Andy, you know, Andy's very empathetic, and he's just like, the guys here are destroying him. Oh, he was being. He's in a sweaty puddle.
Starting point is 00:40:16 He was being destroyed. And I've just never been more proud of the team. Oh my gosh. Than when they were. Oh, there was an AI, I didn't hear the AI song I didn't hear the AI song. There was a quote from the girlfriend that we can't share on this podcast. Yeah his girlfriend was not compassionate in the traditional sense. She did the right thing. She was honest. Al Borland made an AI song that's not you know it was well done.
Starting point is 00:40:45 It was a bop. I mean, look, it's not appropriate. So we can't play it. Yeah, well, 48 orders on the company's time is not appropriate. Oh, it's not inappropriate. Oh. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:58 I mean, there you go. Maybe we'll share it on social at some point. Let me ask you a couple other quick draft questions before we close it out, because I'm just curious. People want to know who we want Arizona to take? Oh. You know, so this isn't who I want Arizona to take as a Cardinals fan.
Starting point is 00:41:15 But as a Camp Scataboo truth-er, I think it's a good destination. Because his comp, to me, has always been between like, when I've watched him, it's a James Connor or a Marshawn Lynch type of play style and so if we already have a team that kind of Fits his style of play It would be nice to have him like be next in line the issue with that is I really believed in Trey Benson Like you I don't want that mess.
Starting point is 00:41:45 That sounded like a past tense statement. Well, it... That was a believed. Yeah. So you no longer believe? I... What does Trey Benson not have that Ben Sennett has? That's being a tight end.
Starting point is 00:41:58 Like being a tight end, if you don't do a bunch in your first year, that's okay. Also, you've got to see Trey Benson. Yeah. So we were disappointed by what we saw. I saw plays from him. Yeah, I just, it's okay. That's okay by me. Also, you got to see Trey Benson. Yeah. So we were disappointed by what we saw. I saw plays from him. Yeah, I just, it's. You guys wanted him to take over,
Starting point is 00:42:09 and James Connor, he's not about that. That is correct. He's like, no thank you. I was saying of, for, I don't, I wish I saw more out of Benson, but a draft pick of Kam Skatibou is not a full declaration of whoops on Benson, but it's a-
Starting point is 00:42:26 I would just, I would love- It's at least starting that letter. So here- I would love for Scadaboo to be a day two pick. Here's yourself relying on Trey Benson for what it's worth. And I don't think the Cardinals take a running back because of it, but I think the team really likes Trey Benson.
Starting point is 00:42:39 He still ran for 4.6 at Kerry. He was hurt two different times during the year. Wow, that's so much higher than I remember. Yeah, so he actually, he had plays. He flashed at times. It was just, his utilization was so small. He only had 63 carries on the year. So we just didn't get to see a lot of him
Starting point is 00:42:58 because he was hurt. I guess what I'm remembering is like week two, maybe that's what's standing out of my head. You mean the 11 carries for 10 yards? Exactly. Yeah, it wasn't great. It's week two, 11 carries here. I know that was the blowout game against the Rams,
Starting point is 00:43:14 so that was cleanup. You know who's 5.5 a carry from that point on in the whole season? All right, we're back. After week two. We are so back. That didn't take much. I did love Trey Benson last year. Oh, you're both back.
Starting point is 00:43:26 Is there any blockbuster trades you want to see happen? Anybody want to see a move right away? I certainly want Kirk Cousins. George Pickens. You want George Pickens gone. Do you have DK Metcalf? Is that why? No, I have George Pickens.
Starting point is 00:43:36 Oh, OK. I want him to a team that is going to adequately throw the ball. I want Kirk Cousins to become a starter in the NFL, because if he is a starter after the draft, then that just helps more wide receivers for fantasy. That's a huge one that I would love to see. What about you, Andy?
Starting point is 00:43:51 Any dreams floating around in there? I mean, I'd like to see Mark Andrews traded for very little. Oh, you just, oh man. Why do you hate Mark Andrews so much? You do, you hate Mark Andrews. It's so weird. No, I don't hate, I just- I just want him traded for nothing. I don't hate him. I just want him traded for nothing.
Starting point is 00:44:05 I don't hate him, I just want him out of the league. Like a seventh rounder and then have the team cut him immediately. I want it publicly acknowledged that it's done. It's not done, he's 29 years old. He is, he's so done, he's so done. You're gonna leave the burger on so long, you're not even gonna like the bite. I mean you- This coming from Mr. Well Done over here.
Starting point is 00:44:25 I've seen you order burgers. I do not order Well Done burgers. Oh yeah, you burn those things to a criff. Medium Well Burger, what's wrong with that? It's a normal burger. Medium Well might as well be charred. Medium Well is the standard. Will you go Medium Well?

Well a fast food place Yeah, I was gonna say you don't have to specify a fast food place and you do get a medium. Well, you're right Wow Do you guys like being medium burgers? Oh, yeah.
