Thursday, July 18th. Fun, fun show today.
Starting point is 00:01:52 Oh. Doing a mock draft. We've got the Borgogon joining us as well. Kyle will have the worst team. Yeah, I mean, Kyle is contributing. He has got the toughest job today. Why is that? Drafting against the three of us? Yeah, I mean, he's doing a mock draft with us,
Starting point is 00:02:14 but he's not going to talk a lot, and we're going to talk about his team. I just don't think that's great for him. Okay, okay, I see what you're saying. However, he does have, I mean, TBD by the end of the draft, but one would think, you know, the best of the selections. We are sitting there 6, 7, 8, 9, and I don't like that I'm the 9. I'm going to be honest with you.
Starting point is 00:02:38 You're going to like it on the way back. Yeah, on the less valuable round? Yes. Yeah, yeah. For those that are new to the show, Kyle is the host of our DFS podcast and our Dynasty podcast. And so, yeah, he does a bunch of stuff, though. He just had a writer's call with all of our writers last night as well.
Starting point is 00:02:59 Indeed. Our awesome staff of, I mean, there's articles going up every day. Valuable stuff. And Kyle runs it all. So he's going to join us today for Ridicule, which should be fun. So we'll get to the mock draft shortly. A couple of things. UltimateDraftKid.com, if you want to check that out right now.
Starting point is 00:03:20 We're also going to be live in Los Angeles. Palace Theater, Jason. Yeah, and apparently it's going to be August 24th. Because I've been telling people August 26th. And if you show up on August 26th, then it's just going to be me and you. Who have you been telling that? Well, yesterday, Mr. Yeah, you tried to tell my parents that.
Starting point is 00:03:40 You were the old trying to sabotage me. Yeah, no, it's just really whenever I've talked to someone in person and they've been like oh yeah when's the live show yeah it's august 26th so i hope i'm not confusing people now it is not it's super not that date no it is august 24th if you're curious that's a saturday baller not a monday live show a saturday live show ballerslive.com if you want to jump in and we'd love to have you. We're going to do some very special stuff at the live show. It's our 10th anniversary celebration.
Starting point is 00:04:12 All right, let's talk a little news. News and notes from around the league. 49ers wide receiver Brandon Ayuk has officially requested a trade. He is in year five of his rookie deal. This is a – like this one's hot. This one in the CD lamb.
Starting point is 00:04:40 Like that's – it's contract negotiations to watch. That was a negotiations to watch you tried a second time yeah but the same word sometimes you gotta bail out that's how i would say it with no tooth negotiations negotiate them and the the 49ers historically have taken these things up to the wire now we had debo like at one point de Debo Samuel was saying, trade me off of this team. He got an extension. Other guys on the team who have gotten big-time contracts, it comes in training camp or even sometimes right before the season starts. So this is not unusual for San Francisco.
Starting point is 00:05:23 It's just if you have IUK, I mean. It is the next layer of negotiation. Yeah, it's unfortunate that it has to come to this. And San Francisco, though, of how they usually do these things late, I don't think they had anticipated the summer of the wide receiver happening where every single wide receiver of note was getting crazy amounts of money. And then they added Ricky Pearsall, which I think muddies this situation there. If you're the 49ers, you're thinking, well, we've got another great wide receiver.
Starting point is 00:06:01 Did they bring him in to be the third, or did they have plan to to move either of these other guys it's it's tbd right now i think the expectation is that everyone will be there in san francisco for this year as they try to win a championship but you could be moving to a point where brandon iuk is the next t higgins situation where where he departed where he doesn't want to be a part of this team anymore because things break down if something doesn't happen. Wouldn't we say the highest likelihood right now is not traded, not contracted? I think that's the most likely outcome right now. I think he gets a contract.
Starting point is 00:06:39 I do too. This offseason. Yes, I do. I think they figure it out. But as of right now, it looks like – I guess the biggest thing is I'm with Jason. Iyuk is on the 49ers this year. They're trying to win.
Starting point is 00:06:52 And trading away Iyuk doesn't help. Just say it. Just say it, you coward. Say it's a guarantee. I guarantee Brandon Iyuk is on the 49ers this year. The contract extension, I just believe it. Freezing cold takes. So we can play this with triumphant noise behind it?
Starting point is 00:07:08 Well, I'm right. Nothing could be better than Jason guaranteeing Cortland Sutton's situation that he's not getting a contract, and by the end of recording, he had money in his pocket. I believe it was by the end of the sentence. Yeah, it was mid-show. Brandon Ayuk right now going in the late second round. I like Iyuk, but that's rich for me.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Debo is third round, and Kittle is a sixth-round pick. So you're talking about the receivers on the team. Any of those values you like? I guess you don't like Iyuk. I think the Iyuk ADP is a bit too high. I'm perfectly happy taking Devo right there, and I'll take Kittle as the tight end seven. Yeah, I agree completely.
Starting point is 00:07:52 All right, do we have any other news we need to talk about? Well, it's just sort of related. Said first round wide receiver of the 49ers, Ricky Pearsall, is on the non-football injury list to start camp. Just means he got injured away from team activities. Now, Jason, you have a pretty strict Halloween policy when it comes to you won't dress up as something without a beard. That is correct.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Because I did it once and I learned a lesson. I'm seeing Ricky Pearsall with a beard. You know how much tattooing I got to do if I'm going to go as Pearsall? I'm just saying, if you want to be hip and cool, Pearsall's your dude. He's got a much better hairline. I'm going to have to do some painting. You're going to have to do some real sculpting of the mustache, too. That thing is-
Starting point is 00:08:39 Too sculpted. That thing is finally manicured. Yeah, manicured is the right word for Ricky Pearsall. He is a manicured- Yes, man. Man. Yeah, is finally manicured. Yeah, manicured is the right word for Ricky Pearsall. He is a manicured man. Yeah, you can do it. Look, I've got to keep these options open because you're a coward and won't do anything but a bearded person. Right. 100%.
Starting point is 00:08:56 Well said. Some of us dressed up like, you know, took a bigger leap. Hey, I shaved down to a mustache for Jeff Fisher. Daniel Jones won't be placed on the, and you said you'll never do it again. Lessons are learned sometimes in life. Daniel Jones won't be placed on the pup.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Oh, for training camp? That's, I mean, that's good news for him. Do you have any, like, deep beneath the surface secret ideas that he might be okay? Malik Nabors is a big deal. It could work for the passing game. If you're talking about just Daniel Jones, the fantasy quarterback, him off of the ACL, his secret value was he ran way more than you would expect, and I don't expect that to happen they really
Starting point is 00:09:46 haven't had the kind of weapons that they dreamed up for him like even the darren waller situation that's fair he was hurt during part of the year and then jones was injured it just they're obviously all in on daniel jones if you if you watch the hard knocks and the departure of saquon barkley it's like hey hey, Daniel Jones is going to either break through this year or we're going to know by the end of this year what we need to do. It is really funny from that hard
Starting point is 00:10:13 knocks how much they seem like they are totally 100% in on Daniel Jones. They paid him. They want to improve the offensive line and get him a weapon unless Drake May is available. They're like, oh man, we get him a weapon. Unless Drake May is available. They're like, oh man, we'll trade a lot for Drake May. That's true.
Starting point is 00:10:30 So Daniel Jones' contract, I mean, even next year, I'm looking at over the cap, you're talking a $20 million dead cap situation. Not that teams aren't afraid to eat that these days. look at the russell
Starting point is 00:10:46 wilson contract but that's that's hard to stomach quarterbacks right now two is not paid right correct two has not been paid dax not been paid correct those are the two really big um contracts that need to get done yeah all. All right. Let's jump right in. The Fantasy Footballers Mock Draft. All right. Today, Kyle is drafting with us. He will have the sixth spot. I'm at, or I'm sorry, Mike is at seven.
Starting point is 00:11:25 I'm at eight, Jason at seven. I'm at eight, Jason at nine. Back to back to back to back. One quarterback, two running back, two wide receivers, two flex, one tight end, four bench spots. Basically our league of record format, half PPR, and we'll jump right into it. Kyle is going to be the first on the clock here. Christian McCaffrey goes number one. Then Tyreek, CeeDee, Bijan, Amon Ra, and Kyle has gone with, he's already made the
Starting point is 00:11:54 selection. Jamar Chase. Jamar Chase off the board at 106. Kyle, he is with us. How do you feel about your pick, Kyle, on a scale of 1 to 6? 6? Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:12:11 So you're not confident. Yeah, he only thinks his pick is a 6. That's embarrassing. Jamar Chase at 106 behind Amon Ra. Do you think you're going to see that a lot? I don't. I think Jamar Chase will usually go ahead of Amon Ross St. Brown. I know some rankings have him flip. I don't blame anyone.
Starting point is 00:12:28 I mean, Amon Ross, awesome. You want to take him higher, go for it. I am very, very in on Jamar Chase this season. Joe Burrow, I think that the Bengals' offense is going to be outstanding, so I would have taken Chase over Amon Ross St. Brown, and Kyle just
Starting point is 00:12:43 got lucky well chase to Kyle Mike you're on the clock thought process here in the first is a 12 team league so looking at the way that this has unfolded uh you know Jefferson is still there and it's between two players honestly for me it It's between Justin Jefferson and Brees Hall, and I'm going to start my mock draft for this one. I'm going to go with Brees Hall. I think we're all in agreement that McCaffrey, B. John, Brees, it would not be surprising in the least for B. John or Brees
Starting point is 00:13:23 to finish number one over McCaffrey. I don't think it's crazy for that to happen. So to grab him at the back of the first and start it off with that, setting up perhaps a hero RB build, we'll see, but I'd be real happy with Brees here. Right now, if you look at our consensus tiers in the UDK, Tyreek and Lamb are in a tier of their own. Right. Amon Robb
Starting point is 00:13:48 and Jamar Chase are in a second tier. The next group, Justin Jefferson, A.J. Brown, Puka Nakua. So I would be at the top of a tier drafting wide receiver here. But it's still a tier you want to be a part of. It's absolutely
Starting point is 00:14:04 a tier I want to be a part of, nor would I have the option to get the bottom of the tier because they're all going to be gone by the time they come around. I'm just explaining. I wanted to bring in the UDK and how we break down our rankings a little bit more. So, you know, I normally
Starting point is 00:14:20 try to go running back. If I did go running back here, I'm probably drafting Jameer Gibbs in a half PPR, 12-team league, a couple of flexes. I feel more comfortable filling those flexes up later on at the wide receiver position
Starting point is 00:14:35 while the running backs dry up. I'm between Jefferson and Gibbs and trying to decide as a mock draft, what experiment would I rather go through here? I'm going to take Jameer Gibbs. I'm going to go with Gibbs and leave Jason the difficult decision
Starting point is 00:14:55 between, I imagine, Kyron Williams and Justin Jefferson. So this is great. No, Justin Jefferson is not in consideration here for me. Okay, then I'm going to – it's the full timeout. What do you put the odds are? Because this is where Jefferson's going. Like, he's not being completely and utterly disrespected, but he still is, in my opinion, the best wide receiver in football.
Starting point is 00:15:22 What's the percentage chance you're, you're taking on the risk of, we all look really dumb at the end of the year, and you go, oh yeah, the guy who I thought was the best wide receiver in football is in fact the best wide receiver in football. I don't think that that's going to happen. If you're talking about finishing as the number one fantasy option, I don't see that as a range of outcome. What about two? One or two?
Starting point is 00:15:45 I don't think so. Now, don't hear what I'm not saying I love Justin Jefferson I would take him here in a couple one of these days I'm going to hear what he's not saying but whether he likes it or not but but um it's just touchdowns like rookie quarterbacks don't throw a lot of touchdowns Sam Darnold's going to start the year at some point the transition will be made I just don't believe that the ceiling is there he's going going to be awesome. He's going to have 1,500 yards, but he's not going to have nine touchdowns. And so, I want a guy who could have 1,500
Starting point is 00:16:11 yards and 10 touchdowns, and there's one on the board. I mean, two have led the league in passing. That's Tyreek's quarterback. CeeDee Lamb with Dak, amazing. Amonrod's got golf, great offense. Jamar Chase has Burrow. Even going beyond Justin Jefferson, right? A.J. Brown.
Starting point is 00:16:27 Exactly. Who's going to be my pick? Okay, yeah. A.J. Brown is ranked. I mean, one of the things that made the difference for me on not taking Jefferson, I wanted the name. I'll be honest. When you get to 108 and you're sitting there with Jefferson,
Starting point is 00:16:40 you're like, that sounds pretty sexy. But I got A.J. Brown ranked higher too. Yeah, when I was – I wasn't willing to do it. Yeah, but I got A.J. Brown ranked higher too yeah when I wasn't willing to do it yeah I've got him ranked higher um I I want that offense um of the Eagles over the Vikings and so when I was on the clock or when I was two picks away I wanted Gibbs or A.J. Brown so when I heard you say you were between Jefferson and Gibbs I was very very happy I'm gonna take A.J. Brown and you're right I am hoping for Kyron Williams to make it back to me which I he should on ADP he's been at the like two three turn so I'm reaching for him here but I am gonna do that get a wide receiver and a running back uh you can
Starting point is 00:17:15 you could say who went in between so just real quick a note for Justin Jefferson to remember the the games with Kirk were were fantastic People will remember those. But the four full games that he played, not with Kirk. You know, we're talking, we got some Nick Mullins games here. He was the wide receiver 26, but he still put up 12 points. So that's not the end of the world. Then he was the wide receiver 6 with 23. A disaster of a week against Green Bay. And then final week 18, 30 points, wide receiver two.
Starting point is 00:17:48 So three of the four games with Nick Mullins, and technically Jaron Hall started one. The bad one. Yeah. So technically he started that one. But three of four, double digits, two of four, 20 plus. Just, I mean. I don't see a world where Justin Jefferson doesn't finish
Starting point is 00:18:06 as a wide receiver one okay you know like he's gonna he's gonna have enough volume and he's so good that he should be a a wide receiver one I just think he's gonna be a back half wide receiver one this season not a top half and right now in the first round I'm trying to draft someone that has the potential to be the you know the. All right. After A.J. Brown, we had Jefferson, Jonathan Taylor, Pukunukuwa finishing the first round. We'll take a break and hit the second round. All right. First round, Kyle went with Jamar Chase.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Mike has Brees Hall. I have Jameer Gibbs. Jason with A.J. Brown. The gamble, it couldn't have paid off better for Mr. 109 because Jefferson, Taylor, Nakua, then Harrison, Barkley, and Garrett Wilson. I don't know you if you don't take Kyron Williams here. Well, and you do know me. I am taking Kyron Williams.
Starting point is 00:19:07 You know, look, I realize that there is risk in this pick. You know, the low equity in him, the fact that they drafted Blake Corum. There was a lesson learned. We have our Things to Remember episode every year. And one of the things to remember is if a guy was great on the NFL field and they draft a backup, don't just assume they're going to come in because we made this mistake last year with Charbonnet and with Tank Bigsby and so Etienne was fine Walker was the dude to start before he got injured and so I think Kyron's going to be great he was the running back two
Starting point is 00:19:38 on a points per game basis just barely behind Christian McCrey, way ahead of Raheem Mostert, who's number three. All right, I am up next after Kyron, which is wild. He could have just won Jason away. I'll go with Travis Etienne. I have him ranked extremely highly. I like the value in the middle of the second round on Etienne, and so I will turn there. I was going to take a quick glance at our running back tiers. Uh, again, that would be our kind of, uh, consensus tiers. Tier three right
Starting point is 00:20:14 now is Kyron, Jonathan Taylor. They're both gone. Saquon, he's gone. And then right now we have ETN, Pacheco and Rashad White all in the same group. I look at ETN a tier higher than Pacheco and Rashad White. And so I will go with ETN in the second round. All right. That puts me on the clock. Brees Hall holding it down as my anchor running back. I'm looking at the wide receivers. Now ADP wise, it's listed as Drake London, Devontae Adams, Chris Olave, Brandon Ayoub, and then Nico Collins. So I have Nico Collins in my top 10, and I don't think that he makes it back. So if I'm going to go wide receiver, I'm willing to jump a little bit with the ADP there. The running backs are – these are really interesting guys of just of Devon HN, Derek Henry.
Starting point is 00:21:08 I mean, it could be league winning players legitimately, both of those guys, or they could be like, man, that's really disappointing that I took those guys in the second. I'm going to, I'm going to go with Nico here. I want a top 10 of my rankings wide receiver, at least one of them, and I would not get one should I pass on Nico here. Well, that gives Kyle the opportunity to jump in immediately and select Chris Olave. So Chase Olave with the first two picks. Jason and Mike both split positions.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Kyle went double wide out. I went double running backs. Jason and Mike both split positions. Kyle went double wideout. I went double running backs. So after Olave was London, Iuke, Devontae Adams, Josh Allen, Devon Achan, and then the third round, Kelsey at the 301. Not where he was before. Yeah. Josh Jacobs and Derrickry go in the third round
Starting point is 00:22:07 that being said team one christian mccaffrey devon hn and travis kelsey that's fun that's swinging for defenses yeah that's a fun start and then laporta goes at 304 debo at 305 and then kyle comes back and you went with pacheco? Yeah, he was the highest running back in our tiers, and I didn't feel comfortable with anybody else. I think it's a great pick. Pacheco should get a lot of work for a Kansas City Chiefs team that should rebound to closer to what they've been scoring the previous five years than what they did last season.
Starting point is 00:22:39 This is exactly the situation that frightens me with Pacheco because this is the this is the like if he was your second running back because he went let's say when a chan in the second round i'm comfortable but this is this is the first year that we're going to be in a position where if you go a couple running backs you get a value on pacheco you're saying you're my one you're my number one and that is you know that's something he he did for four or five weeks at the end of the year to great effect and the playoffs. And now it's the level up, right?
Starting point is 00:23:11 It's the tear jump. I mean, also on the season, though, even it took time last year for him to really take the trust and really take over the backfield. But he, by the end of the year, on a per-game basis, was seeing 78% of the running back attempts which is that's the fourth highest mark of running backs and you combine that with a 10 percent target share that was last year the 10 percent target share like if McKinnon really stays off of this roster that could even go up so I really like Pacheco when I was doing the math I figured it would come down to two players
Starting point is 00:23:44 Pacheco being one of them. So I will take the other one. I will be taking Jalen Waddell, who if you haven't tuned in recently, I expect a massive bounce back. When you really dive into what Waddell did last year when he was healthy, it's just so murky and bogged down when you're just only doing the box score hunting of when he was hurt because he was really just hurt the entire time. And when healthy was producing.
Starting point is 00:24:13 He's not Tyreek, but I'm drafting him in the third round. And I think that, like we said, Tua led the league in passing yards. Like he's going to compete for that yet again and get a couple more of those touchdowns over to Waddle, and you have a real value here in the third. Well, I feel like I'm in a tough spot with Gibbs and Etienne and not loving the wide receiver tier that is currently on the board where it's Evans and it's Diggs and DJ Moore and Michael Pittman when at the same time I see Rashad White,
Starting point is 00:24:47 who's a tier three running back on our team. Ultra T. Oh, brother. I just feel like I'm going to be able to come. Is this a mayhem episode? You're just going. I mean, you just load up after that. You'd be set at running back,
Starting point is 00:25:00 and then you just load up at wide receiver the rest of the way. Did you? Wait. Was that a mayhem video drop? At running back. And then you just load up at wide receiver the rest of the way. Did you? Wait. Was that a mayhem video drop? Al Borland pulled some wires back there. Do we need to evacuate? I think he thought. That was just the mayhem lighting.
Starting point is 00:25:13 I was going to say, I thought that he thought the mayhem button would work and it didn't. But no. I'll tell you what I'm deciding between. I'm deciding between going Rashad White. It's a double flex league. And so, you know, the opportunity to play him each and every week and have flexibility and depth at running back, right, where you're going to need it. Or Jalen Hurts, my number two ranked quarterback.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Really? Here in the third. I think what I'm going to do is I'm going to see what this looks like. No Mike Evans? With a double flex? I'm going to see what this looks like. No Mike Evans? With a double flex? I'm going to see what it looks like with the double flex going Rashad White. I had a whole play in the set that was based on Jalen Hurts. You're going to take Hurts here?
Starting point is 00:25:55 You're darn right. I've been doing the J-More turn. This is an even better J-More turn. I'm taking Hurts a few picks ahead of where he's been going at that 3-4 turn, but instead of Devontae Smith, got aj brown earlier so i am going to go with the stack with jaylen hertz you know i forgot doing a mock draft with you jason is very interesting yeah that's good i hope it's not boring it's one part analysis and one part you are sweaty you're a sweaty boy you want certain play you want a
Starting point is 00:26:28 certain player in a certain spot you're willing to manipulate it yeah i'm selfish you know so you ready boy i'm also a sweaty man so uh jalen hurts to jason then mike evans stefan diggs lamar Jason, then Mike Evans, Stephon Diggs, Lamar Jackson, Devontae Smith, Mahomes, and Stroud. So Jason not only got the player he wanted, he started a quarterback run that meant three spots after he had a quarterback were taken up by not players competing for who he wanted. That feels good. Yeah, it's really nice. I should have taken Hurts.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Oh, man. If you go back and watch the film, when you brought up, you said you're between Hurts. I was like, I look at the camera. Did your eyes get all big? Oh, yeah. I was like, no, don't do that. Don't do that. I wish I would have caught that.
Starting point is 00:27:15 All right, so here I am. I've got Jalen Hurts. I've got one running back in Kyron Williams and one wide receiver in A.J. Brown. So I can go either direction, and I like a couple of guys in both categories. I'm a big fan of James Cook this year. He was the running back 11 last season and he had two rushing touchdowns. I think that the vacated targets, they're the second most vacated targets in the league that a lot of times goes to the running back position. But I feel more confident loading up on wide receivers usually letting later running backs be added to my team I also think you know if this was
Starting point is 00:27:52 a real league I'd be more confident in adding from the waiver wire at the running back position so I'm going to take a wide receiver and between DK Metcalf who I have ranked as a top 10 wide receiver this season or Malik neighbors who I just I haven a top 10 wide receiver this season, or Malik Neighbors, who I just, I haven't been able to grab him yet, and I'm not going to here because I do think if I've got someone that I believe is a top 10 wide receiver in the fourth round, I've got to take him.
Starting point is 00:28:16 So I'll take Metcalf, but I am rising more and more and more on Malik Neighbors. I think he could be outstanding. This is a real ultimate backfire. After I took Rashad White, Metcalf was the incoming target. So just to be clear, after I took the running back. You got to know your league, man.
Starting point is 00:28:37 After I took the running back. I knew what that pick was when the draft started. No more running backs went. It was four quarterbacks and four wideouts. So you could have had Rashad White. Yeah, in that world, Rashad White, I guess he would have gone probably. But you talked about Malik Nabors. I'm going to go ahead and draft Cooper Cupp at the 405.
Starting point is 00:29:01 I'm going to take Cooper Cupp, and he ends up slotting in as my wide receiver one. One of the insights that you'll see in the ultimate draft kit, if you look at the red zone report, five. I'm going to say Cooper cup and he ends up slotting in as my wide receiver. One, uh, one of the insights that you'll see in the ultimate draft kit. If you look at the red zone report, Cooper cup had more targets, receptions, and touchdowns in the red zone than Puka Nakua did last year. And, uh, that was with the injury. So you're talking about a player that is fundamental to the offense that, um, you know, when you're looking at the names of this at this juncture are you looking at players that that can be inside that top 15 or players that you're more confident are going to sit kind of out just outside that group i like cooper cups upside and so i'm going to give him
Starting point is 00:29:38 give him the shot and i don't blame you for taking him over neighbors when you're looking at your wide receiver one neighbors we you know being a rookie paired with Daniel Jones it's hard to really I could have had Jalen Hurts and Rashad White combo though oh that's who I was deciding between that would have been really good or Jalen Hurts and DK Metcalf even better oh spicy team I love the nine spot guys. I was going to say, how are you liking that? It's one of my favorite spots. It's not the only time this off season we've mock drafted from like the eight or nine and it's,
Starting point is 00:30:14 it's ended up really nice. All right. I am back on the clock. Uh, I feel like Nico Collins and Jalen Waddle have been your boys all summer. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm,
Starting point is 00:30:23 I'm still feeling good with them in the second second and the third looking at the wide receivers it it's not a at least in this tier of adp there's not a lot of names where like i have i have great confidence dj moore despite doing it last year, my confidence is lower. Malik Nabors, for me, that's a full YOLO. Like, the path for me, like just trying to think super logically with the way that Malik Nabors pays off on this ADP, to me, it would be madness. Like, just pure craziness has happened with the Giants turning
Starting point is 00:31:06 things around Daniel Jones playing well enough I know that Malik's going to get all the targets I understand that but that does just because you get all the volume it doesn't always work out in for a fourth round pick and so it's guys like that but at the running back position a player I've been I've been rising more on is James Cook. And looking at what he did when the offensive scheme changed, there's no guarantee that's exactly what sticks. But they went to that. It was a winning formula.
Starting point is 00:31:37 They got rid of Stephon Diggs, which the actions to me are that, yeah, we liked what happened when we started having James Cook as more of a focal point of this offense. So I think that he is very sneaky here. I think the biggest challenge for James Cook is the defensive, I guess, what would you call it? The fact their defense has gone downhill and they've lost major pieces. In that second half, his targets per run skyrocketed compared to the first half. I'm not talking about last year.
Starting point is 00:32:04 I'm talking about for the upcoming year. They can be put into a position where the efficiency and success of James Cook running the football could be indicted by the defensive performance and more could fall on the back of Josh Allen. And yes, I know James Cook can catch a pass, but that doesn't always translate the way you want it to for him to be a fundamental number one running back.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Yeah, I mean, he might end up being a running back too, but I do believe that what the transition was made schematically when Brady took over was the involvement in the passing game. So a worse defense, if they've got to keep scoring, they've got to try to put up 35 points to win a game, that could also end up in Cooks's favor just as a as a primary pass catching back all right the Borgogin went with Mark Andrews Kyle uh feeling good about 407 Mark Andrews yeah I think he's our highest tight end
Starting point is 00:32:57 but also it's at this point where Andrews or McBride I feel like I want to take them the fourth or fifth in most drafts Chase Olave Pacheco Andrews after the Andrews pick when DJ Moore Mixon McBride neighbors in Pittman Pittman at 412 that's interestingly uh I don't mind late I think um I like I Pittman was in consideration for me but likewise I was hoping that like man if I get Pittman here what are the chances I can get my Anthony Richardson-Pittman stack? And I thought it was very, very low, so I passed. Well, Richardson started the fifth round. Then Zay Flowers tanked Delamari Cooper and Kenneth Walker.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Kyle, you're back on the board. You've got two wideouts, a running back, a tight end. Where's your head at for 5.06? I like the running backs on the board like i like alvin kamara a lot but i have a lave so that does make me pause a little bit of going in there and so i'm going to keep going with wide receiver and just swing for the fences and uh i mean is it george pickens pick oh it's george pick yeah that makes sense of course um i love it it would have been my pick at 508 so this draft's going great uh mike breeze hall nico collins jalen waddle james cook uh so george pickens i figured he would be
Starting point is 00:34:17 in contention for me and this one is like it's like at least adP wise it's probably let me just double check my my rankings here yeah it's it's real chalky for me the guy at the top of the wide receiver it's T Higgins the wide receiver to for Joe Burrow I don't mind him in the fifth at all or no Alvin Kamara will be there for you too
Starting point is 00:34:39 Andy maybe dude would you take four running backs let's find out because I'm going to take T. Higgins. I really would consider Kamara there. I'm taking Alvin Kamara. Are you? Oh, man. Oh, he did it.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Oh, my goodness. I wanted you to take him. The pants on this guy. I think the 508 value on Kamara is wild. It's great. It is. And look, that pick doesn't happen if it's not double flex. That's for sure.
Starting point is 00:35:08 But Gibbs, ETN, Rashad White, and Alvin Kamara, I don't have to sit them down. This is not that decision of I'm facing ADP value, and now I've got a bench player, and I've got to rotate them in and figure it out, but I'm just going to take them and figure it out. No, all four of those guys are in my starting lineup. I'm playing Gibbs, ETN,
Starting point is 00:35:26 Rashad White, and Alvin Kamara, and there's a decent chance that all three of those guys are in the top five in receptions at the position. Maybe the top three or four. Other than McCaffrey
Starting point is 00:35:42 being in the mix, Gibbs, White, and Kamara could very well lead the league in receptions. They could? So that is something I'm not going to pass up on value-wise there. Compared to the other options, I'm already in a tier of wide receivers that makes me – I'm taking a chance. You are on a hero wide receiver build. Well, and I've got a quarterback I'd love to take,
Starting point is 00:36:03 but I already know that the next four teams already took them last time around, so I didn't need to take a quarterback there. Yeah, I mean, that's how you pay attention. Make sure you know the rest of the draft board. Don't just look at who's left. Look at who's on rosters that are between your next picks. So I'm going to build my team very, very differently than yours, Andy. And I'm not even saying it's right or wrong.
Starting point is 00:36:28 You're just saying with players that I would have drafted? No, I'm saying that you have filled out your flex early. And I'm going to do something I don't always love doing, but I think the value was there both spots. And I'm going to take two different onesie positions within the first five rounds. Is this Dalton Kincaid? This is Dalton Kincaid. The way that I see the Bills transforming this year
Starting point is 00:36:48 is it's going to be a lot of targets to Kincaid and Cook. I think that they are going to be the real leaders here of the offense. Did you guys both pick them to win the division? Do you remember from the show a week ago? No, I don't remember. I picked the Dolphins a week ago? No, I don't remember. I picked the Dolphins to win the division. Yeah, and I picked the Jets. I think I have Buffalo still up at the top.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Yeah, I think you did. So, I mean, you know, they've won four in a row, and this year there's some doubt. And I don't – I think the Dolphins and Jets are right in the mix there. So, you went Kincaid. Yeah. And you don't look happy because Aaron Jones Kyle Pitts James Connor who maybe you had your eyes on uh George yeah George Kittle Keenan Allen and Christian
Starting point is 00:37:31 Kirk you had a little mini tight end run there so if you had gone Connor you weren't getting Kincaid no and you know I was between I there's three running backs that I liked right before me Alvin Kamara Aaron Jones James Connor um I figured one of those two might make it back to me. And after the Kincaid, Mark Andrews, Laporta McBride, Kelsey tight ends, I just want to punt it. I think all five of those have a chance to be the number one tight end this year. So now I'm in a pickle. I really wanted one of those running backs since I've only got Kyron Williams on the team. I think I'm going to keep hunting running back and go more of a hero running back strategy and look at what wide receivers are on the board. And I don't love them. I'm going to be honest with you. I'm not taking a, just look at an ADP right now.
Starting point is 00:38:19 Changing your plan. Roma dunes. Hey, uh, Terry McLaurin. These are guys I'm not super excited about Jaden Reed. You want to trade me jail and hers for a shot white. Roma Dunce, Terry McLaurin. These are guys I'm not super excited about. Jaden Reed. You want to trade me Jalen Hurst for Rashad White? There is a player that I actually do like. I wrote down on my board as we started the draft because I wanted to get this player in this draft. I'm rising on his ability, and he's higher on wide receiver. He's mystery, man.
Starting point is 00:38:44 It's Xavier Worthy. This feels too early, though, for Xavier Worthy, and I don't know that he'll make it back to me. But with only – man, I – Woo-hoo! Yeah, okay. Well, we started well. But here in the six, I'm a little bit afraid about my depth
Starting point is 00:39:01 at the flex position. Based on who's on the board right now i'm gonna go with a guy that andy has talked up quite a bit at the running back position and it's gonna be romandre stevens okay okay i i actually thought that the running back value with montgomery or stevens in there was the way to go, which is why I'm taking David Monk. No, I'm not. I'm not taking a fifth running back. Also, both Lions? I'm going to grab the quarterback that I wanted right now
Starting point is 00:39:34 before I have no chance at it, which means Kyler Murray is going to be joining the roster. I've got a long wait before my next pick. He's the last one in my select tier of quarterbacks. I talked about it on the show. I just traded Josh Allen for Kyler in at first, and I'm very excited about the season he has upcoming. So I'm going Kyler Murray at 605.
Starting point is 00:39:56 Kyle just said he would have taken him the next pick. Oh, yeah, Kyle? Is that so? Yep, he would have been my pick. Well, Will Love is still there if you want him would have been my pick. Well, Will Levis is still there if you want him. Mike, you're on the clock first, though. So, Kyler would have been in consideration for me as well.
Starting point is 00:40:11 Excellent. Consideration. And so, now I just double-checking what's going on with the quarterback. I have Higgins, and I have Joe Burrow, you know, not that far away. Like, Kyler and Burrow are are pretty close for me so what I'd have that stack uh meanwhile Kyle is picking two spots between me
Starting point is 00:40:36 or between my next pick and he has Jamar Chase does he want that Joe Burrow Jamar Chase stack I do not know and then I could have my fallback of Tua with Jalen Waddle. That's my current stack opportunities. Look at these wide receivers that Jason was kind of poo-pooing. So Rome, Adunze, Terry McLaurin, Reed, Jordan Edison, Xavier Worthy. Yeah. I mean, the upside of Xavier Worth worthy right here it is it is somewhat appealing it's interesting that worthy hollywood and rashi rice are all basically back-to-back in adp man we need that rice suspension news this is this is really obnoxious to be this far in the process
Starting point is 00:41:19 uh and not no yeah i mean i i would say that for purposes of the listeners, taking Xavier Worthy here is based upon an assumption that Rushie Rice will be out the beginning of the season. That could be a false assumption. If we knew that Rice's suspension was going to 2025, Rushie Rice wouldn't even be on the board right now. Yeah, and Worthy would not be a good pick. I'm going to go ahead then, and I'm going to put my chips on the bangles.
Starting point is 00:41:47 I'm going to take Joe Burrow. Get the T. Higgins stat. Now, Kyle, you lost Murray and Burrow, or you said? I thought about Burrow, but I probably would have passed here. I need a running back, and I'm glad Dave Montgomery got to me, so I'm going to take him here. All right, you pair Montgomery with Pacheco. You got Chase Olave and Pickens with Mark Andrews.
Starting point is 00:42:04 That's a good-looking team. One Kyler, though, would make Montgomery with Pacheco. You got Chase Olave and Pickens with Mark Andrews. That's a good-looking team. One Kyler, though, would make it look just even better. Terry McLaurin, Addison right now at 609, not knowing what his situation is. Dak at 610. Swift and Reed finishing out the round. We'll take a break and jump into the seventh. All right. Najee goes at 701. Evan Ingram at 702. I was looking at Evan Ingram in the seventh round here. I was thinking about it. High PPR opportunity. Worthy, Odunze,
Starting point is 00:42:40 and Rice off the board. Kyle, you're back on the clock. Where are you going? There is some running backs that I'm okay with, like Mostert and Jonathan Brooks I think are the highest. I can't do Zamir White for my own personal health. So I think I'm going to go with Brooks and just go with the second half kind of upside. Who's Brooks pick? No.
Starting point is 00:43:07 Busted. No, not at all. Jonathan Brooks is the pick in the seventh round, which Jason had an exclamation of disappointment. So no Xavier, where they are. Jonathan Brooks for you, Jason, Mike, you're back on the clock. So I'm also so looking at the running back position, Zamir White. I, I just do not know what to do with him. The three guys that I would be really considering here, Zemir White, Mostert, Zach Moss.
Starting point is 00:43:38 If I go Moss, I am really heavy on the Cincinnati Bengals. If I go Mostert, I mean, I'm heavy on Bengals and the Miami Dolphins. And Samir is the way out. But when it's finally – it's looking me in the face. I don't want to do it, guys. I do not want to. Really? When you hold up the mirror. Yeah, and I look at myself and do I really want to draft Samir White?
Starting point is 00:44:04 It's difficult. I'm going to go dolphin heavy. Raheem Mostert off the board. You should say the name. Raheem Mostert off the board was the pick. I was rudely interrupted by it. Jason was very disappointed. I am on the board. He already knows my pick.
Starting point is 00:44:22 I actually made a pretty calculated bet that I didn't disclose when i drafted kyler murray knowing that i would need another wide receiver knowing which wide receiver i'm in love with this year at this stage in the draft so calvin ridley is coming home to papa yeah that was the i saw that at the last turn i was like oh gosh this is lining up like that's exactly what i wanted to happen jason had written. What did you write on your board there? Calvin. Calvin Ridley Andy.
Starting point is 00:44:47 Yeah. Look. Come on, man. 708. Yeah. Pass heavy team. Gunslinger. Downfield thrower.
Starting point is 00:44:56 Calvin Ridley to me is the best I could have gotten for upside at 708. To me, where did George Pickens go in this draft? He went at 506. George Pickens, Calvin Ridley. Calvin Ridley, two and a quarter rounds later. To me, those are very similar outcomes for those two players. Not everybody
Starting point is 00:45:16 views it that way. I like both of them. Two and a quarter rounds, but probably like a five round difference in production. For Pickens being better, yeah. Yeah, in your opinion. Yeah. I'm taking Ridley, and you know what?
Starting point is 00:45:32 You can enjoy the ride. It's going to be great. Jason, you're on the clock. None of your players are available. Who do you want? That is correct. I wanted Raheem Moster or Jonathan Brooks. They are out of the equation,
Starting point is 00:45:42 so I'm going to take a player I keep talking up. I believe that the Chargers are going to be more. Yeah, I knew who this was so I'm going to take a player I keep talking up. I believe that the Chargers are going to be more... Yeah, I knew who this was. I should have written that on my board. They're going to be more efficient than what their ADP currently is reflecting. And I'm taking the bet, the gamble. I mean, it could be
Starting point is 00:45:57 Quinn Johnson, Joshua Palmer. I believe Ladd McConkie will be the number one target in this offense. As an early rookie wide receiver pick, I'll add him to the roster. So just to run it back, Jason has A.J. Brown, D.K. Metcalf, and now Ladd-McConkie at wide out. Kincaid and Jalen Hurts in the onesies. Kyron and Ramondre, you're back on the clock, Jason.
Starting point is 00:46:17 Chubb went at 7'10". We'll be watching that ADP. Godwin, Hopkins, Zamir White, Deontay Johnson. And we've got Hollywood at 8-0-3. So, Jason, you're back on the clock. I am back on the clock, and it's basically between two players here, Pollard and Zach Moss. I've got Zach Moss higher in my rankings, always been my dude.
Starting point is 00:46:39 I do think he fits in great for the Cincinnati Bengals offense, and I could use a little bit more since I've just got Stevenson as my second. I think Zach Moss is a perfect fit for the team. Yeah. All right. I took Ridley knowing I wanted to come back around at wide receiver and take one of the rookies that I like to give me some upside. I kicked the wide receiver can down the road.
Starting point is 00:47:01 I have Kup and Ridley. Jason took McConkie. He was one of the guys in the group. But Brian Thomas, who I really like, is on the board with upside, and I'm going to take him at 805. All right. My pick is pretty easy here. I'm going to take Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers wide receiver,
Starting point is 00:47:17 who Jaden Reed is the preferred player of the group of the crowd. He went at 612 but just a reminder jayden reed is a slot wide receiver christian watson would was the target leader whenever everybody was on the field and i'll take a bet here that they fix the hamstring so are we i think we're both you and i are both on the Christian Watson side. And I presume, Andy, you're on the Jaden Reed side? Yeah. I'm not off of Jaden Reed. I'm on the Jaden Reed side for sure.
Starting point is 00:47:51 I mean, I think Jaden Reed has a guaranteed output that's not going to disappoint you. I think Watson has extremely great upside and a complete, you know, a huge risk. Collapse of a downside. Yeah. So Kyle went with Jalen Warren at 807. Ferguson goes off the board. Love, Pollard, Gervonta, and Austin Eckler.
Starting point is 00:48:11 Eckler's usage in Washington will be very interesting this year. Could be a value. I still believe that. Trey Benson at 901. Zeke at 902. Keon Coleman, another one of the rookies off the board. Then Njoku, Caleb Williams, and Kyle goes with Jackson, Smith, and Jigba. So Chase, Olave, Pickens, and Jackson, Smith, and Jigba, Kyle's team.
Starting point is 00:48:32 Pacheco, Montgomery, Brooks, and Warren, his running backs with Mark Andrews at tight end and no quarterback yet. Mike, you were on the clock in the ninth, just took Watson. So this is an interesting setup. I don't know that I've run into this ADP-wise. I had essentially punted the tight end position, was just gearing up for, like, Jake Ferguson is the parachute at the tight end position for me this year.
Starting point is 00:49:00 He went two picks after Christian Watson. And then as the turn came back out, David Njoku went. And that's fascinating because Brock Bowers is still here. I'm more on the side of I don't think Brock Bowers is going to work as a rookie for fantasy purposes, but I'm already in the punt tight end situation. And it's just like legit a strategy that I try to – I'm older. I'm more chilled out with my opinions of just like leaving more margin of what if I'm wrong? What if I am dead wrong and Brock Bowers is the guy who led Georgia
Starting point is 00:49:43 like immediately in receiving. He was that dude. What if he's the dude in the NFL? And the fact that those other tight ends win, it just kind of pushed it into me or pushed Bowers onto my team. Yeah, it did. Look, Bowers dominated at Georgia where McConkie couldn't. Right.
Starting point is 00:50:04 McConkie couldn't even get on the field. McConkie, like if you look at the opportunity that McConkie has in the NFL, it looks great. If you look at Bowers, it's like, okay, you went to this team that you don't have confidence in quarterback, and they drafted a tight end last year. But Bowers produced, and we like production. And he produced at a legendary level.
Starting point is 00:50:19 And he kept McConkie from producing. So, yes, the margin of error of that may be Bowers was the best wide receiver on the Georgia team by a lot. Right. And maybe the best wide receiver instead of spinning what? Where did Malik Nabors go? A fourth-round pick?
Starting point is 00:50:35 Brock Bowers was the best wide receiver in college football in a lot of ways. So, just did it from the tight end spot. Yeah. So, I don't usually draft him, but I'm in the punt area, so it's like this is little risk for my team. First couple weeks happen, Brock Bowers is not happening, then I'll just grab the hotness off the waiver. I have a couple wide receiver targets that I could go for here
Starting point is 00:51:00 before Jason gets two picks. He might go wide receiver with at least one of them. He's only got three on the roster. The other two teams after me have four already, but I'm not going to go there because I think there's several dart throws on the same level. Jameson Williams is one of those dart throws.
Starting point is 00:51:16 Xavier Leggett, Rashid Shahid, Jerry Judy. Those are all, you know, you're taking a shot on those guys. I'm going to take Gus Edwards. I'm going to take the starting running back for the Chargers in the late ninth. Yeah, I think that the value right now on the board is much better at running back than it is wide receiver.
Starting point is 00:51:36 I need a wide receiver, but they suck here. That's how I felt. That's why I went Gus Bus. All of the wide receivers here, like in hindsight, in hindsight, I wish that I did take someone like Terry McLaurin over Ramondre Stevenson just because there's a lot of running backs I actually like here. And so I'm going to take best player available,
Starting point is 00:51:59 even though I would rather have a wide receiver here. And Tajay Spears, I've got ranked neck and neck with Tony Pollard, who was a couple rounds earlier. And Tajay should be on the field. He's very explosive coming into his second year. I don't mind him. Pollard at 8'10". Spears goes at 9'09".
Starting point is 00:52:18 You're right back on the clock, Jason, but a couple more of those running backs did go. Singletary, Brian Robinson, Hawkinson and Goddard are gone Tua and Brock Purdy are gone I believe you have every position satisfied so you got three picks left in the draft you can take anything you want I do have every position satisfied
Starting point is 00:52:35 I am still dissatisfied with the wide receivers on the board it would either be taking the shot at Jamison Williams you'll never be satisfied Jay I can never be satisfied. But I'm going to pull an Andy Holloway and keep loading up on these running backs. And I'm going to take Jerome Ford, who I think gets off to a very strong start. We've had a lot of debate on Jerome Ford in the office lately.
Starting point is 00:53:00 It's a bet again. But none of us would disagree with taking him at 10-0-4. That's an incredible value on the potential. It't matter how uh healthy chubb is doesn't matter the risk of devonta freeman around what did i just say devonta freeman devonta foreman around the goal line jerome ford at 1004 is um at least in the beginning part of the year going to be guaranteed production well i i'm glad I waited on Jameson Williams. I can take that shot now at 10.05, so I will. I do need to pick up a tight end in my next two picks.
Starting point is 00:53:31 Mike and Kyle on the board next. All right, I am on the clock here. Let's see. ADP-wise, the wide receivers, Cortland Sutton, Adonai Mitchell, Dobbs. Do you ever consider going the tandem tight ends strategy that's getting really big with Bowers and Michael Mayer? I haven't thought about it until just now. Like double Raider tight end?
Starting point is 00:53:53 A lot of people are doing it if you want to be cool. That offense, it should score so many points. Just pause real quick. Okay, I've thought it over. Okay. I'm not going to do it. All right. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:54:13 And I am going to take – look, at this point in the draft – How did you know? Yeah. At this point, because you're taking your shot, like part of it I want to chase offense, so I will take Curtis Samuel, who could be the number one wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills. There's a lot of guys that could be, and Curtis just happens to be one of them. Can we just all admit that there's going to be about four
Starting point is 00:54:36 or five different wide receiver threes on that team? That could be. Shakir doesn't get drafted, but isn't there a chance that Shakir's the best receiver they have? In my opinion, yes. Yeah, I mean, it could happen. Honestly, I like Curtis Samuel a lot. When I didn't like the wide receivers, I would have taken him,
Starting point is 00:54:52 except I've got Dalton Kincaid. I've got the bet on him being the number one target, so I didn't want to double up there. I have Khalil Shakir with one more fantasy point than Curtis Samuel in my projections. Do you still have Keon Coleman as the number one wide receiver? I have him as the number one wide receiver, yeah. Which he's in the group.
Starting point is 00:55:11 He certainly could. All right, Kyle is on the clock, and I bet he's going to make a pick any second now. Oh, he's back. Yeah, I waited on quarterback. Fun fact, Kyle lost power halfway through the show. He was drafting from his phone. He's in the middle of thunderstorms.
Starting point is 00:55:29 And so you didn't hear from him, not because I banned him from the show, but because he had no power. Who'd you go with, Jayden Daniels? Yeah, I waited a little bit and went with Daniels as the last quarterback that I was pretty excited to have. And it also gives me a chance to swing for the fences. And I'm just going to go for it. I'm going to go with Jahan Dotson.
Starting point is 00:55:53 I knew that was coming. So the Daniels-Jahan Dotson finale to the draft. Oh, there's Dotson. We got Dotson here. Barely. Kyle is doing it. And Mike, you're on the clock. Second to last pick.
Starting point is 00:56:12 Jerome Ford is in this list. Ezekiel Elliott is in this list. But both of those guys are gone. I had tweeted out that over the last five years, we see about eight and a half teams that don't have a running back drafted in the top 24 but yet on average we see about four and a half of those teams finish with a top 24 guy because it's like projecting offenses it's just so difficult and but i feel very confident
Starting point is 00:56:40 projecting that dallas will have a very highpowered offense. So it's probably Zeke. Honestly, it probably is. But leave the margin that it could end up being Rico Dowdle, the more valuable player for the Dallas backfield. So here in the 11th, perfectly happy doing it. Okay. I still need a tight end. I was hoping I would be able to draft Dalton Schultz at this point.
Starting point is 00:57:05 I'm going to take Pat Fryermuth here just to not risk it or play around anymore. It's likely I'll end up a waiver wire kind of situation at tight end. It might end up being Taysom Hill. It could end up being Hunter Henry, who should have a key role in the offense. Noah Fant could get some opportunities. None of those guys are very exciting I'm going to be the guy spinning my fab on the breakout tight end that we didn't see coming and hope that you know that like last year's Jake Ferguson I'm going to be looking for that kind of a guy Jason you're on the clock with two selections left why don't
Starting point is 00:57:40 you make those back to back here yeah I need some wide receivers. And I was really hoping that Romeo – You only have three right now, right? Correct. I'm going to go with two more wide receivers here. You seem so high-T. Really hoping that Romeo Dobbs left because I wanted Dontavian Wicks, but it feels weird to draft Wicks over Dobbs who should be more involved. So I'm going to take Dobbs.
Starting point is 00:58:03 Take them both. Well, I've got a different guy i want for my last receiver um so i'll take dobbs here and then my next guy i want i know we'll get back to me he is pretty much undrafted everywhere but he projects right now to really be the number two wide receiver going into year two of the nfl which those those two things are yeah a real good thing to get. And it's Michael Wilson of the Arizona Cardinals. I thought that might be the case. Sounds like Mike didn't think that.
Starting point is 00:58:33 I just don't think it's going to work. I'm between Jerry Judy, who I think will be the starting slot receiver for a more pass-heavy team, especially to start the year in Cleveland. All of my possible selections here are like, I heard a... What? You didn't hear it? I did not. I missed it.
Starting point is 00:58:52 Deucers, did you guys hear that? Okay, they're all shaking their head yes. All right, I'm going to take Jalen Polk with 12.05. Hey, I dig it. Like me some Jalen Polk. All right, so let me take a look at my team here. So I have five wide receivers and four running backs. Okay. So it just kind of whatever I want to do here in consideration players, Joshua Palmer, uh, huge is in consideration, I guess. Dontavian Wicks.
Starting point is 00:59:26 And, hey, it's Franklin. I'm not drafting Troy Franklin, dude. All right, fine. Suit yourself. The news on – have we gotten any more updated news on Kendra Miller? Kyle, maybe you've heard, too, because just the recent vibes have been bad, and that makes me sad as he seemed like a player who really could make an impact but it seems like the they've the vibes have been changing has anybody heard anything kyle you should definitely take him here yeah okay so the vibes
Starting point is 00:59:58 are bad the vibes are still bad it's bad okay this is such a weird pick. I'm going to take... Someone. I'm going to take Joshua Palmer. That's a good pick. He could very well be the number one wide receiver. Kyle, you have a final pick, and if it's Kendra Miller, you earn $5. It's not Kendra Miller. It's not even worth it.
Starting point is 01:00:20 That would have been amazing. That would have been so... The vibes are bad. Just kidding. They're great. I would have been so proud of him. I know. Who do you got? One of the rookie running backs, Marshawn Lloyd or Kimani Vidal. I'm probably going to take Lloyd, just a better offense, and I think he has a better shot to overtake. All right, we did it. We got through it. The
Starting point is 01:00:38 full draft is complete, and you can follow along on the YouTube channel. Kyle, you want to read us your team here, by position all right at quarterback i have jaden daniels running back isaiah pacheco david montgomery at wide receiver jamar chase chris olave at tight end mark andrews and my flex i have pickens and jonathan brooks right now and then on the bench jalen warren jsn jahan dotson and marshawn lloyd uh by i guess starting position he did go starters which wasn't i mean that's fine yeah let's all do that i refuse because you can't put it together yeah it's just so easy the other way just group them position mike go ahead all right positionally
Starting point is 01:01:21 at running back breese hall james cook rahe Raheem Mostert, Rico Dowdle. Wide receivers, I have Nico, Jalen Waddell, Tee Higgins, Christian Watson, Curtis Samuel, and Josh Palmer. My quarterback is Joe Burrow for that Burrow-Higgins stack. And then Brock Bowers, a surprise addition to my team. I know I'm biased, but I feel like I survived the high-T start to the draft. Gibbs, Etienne, Rashad White, Kamara, and Gus Buss, five starters
Starting point is 01:01:50 at running back. Cooper Cup, Ridley, Brian Thomas, Jameson Williams, Polk, going to need somebody to hit there at wide out, and then Kyler Murray and Pat Fryermuth as my onesies. Cooper Cup is just like, I think he is one of the more fascinating players of, like, everything I is one of the more fascinating players of
Starting point is 01:02:05 everything I was kind of saying about Justin Jefferson at the end of the year did we go oh yeah Cooper Cup is actually still great he just was hurt we did that with Cooper Cup two years ago we were like shouldn't we all see this coming I feel like there's some of that there with Cooper Cup yeah that is the ironic part is that it's him again
Starting point is 01:02:22 at quarterback and tight end I've got Jalen Hurts and Dalton Kincaid. Went a little higher up on those guys. Stacking them with A.J. Brown, D.K. Metcalf, Ladd McConkie, Romeo Dobbs, and Michael Wilson at wide receiver. At running back, I've got Kyron Williams, Ramondre Stevenson, Zach Moss, Tajay Spears, and Jerome Ford. All right.
