Sunday ticket for out-of-market games excludes digital-only games. Welcome to the NFL Stock
Exchange podcast. In this episode, we are predicting the final draft order for the non-playoff teams
in the 2024 NFL draft. The way that we're going to do that is we're going to get rapid fire,
sort of, go through the schedule over the next two weeks week 17 and 18 in the nfl
pick the winners and losers and then that will give us the final result and then with
that final draft order we're gonna do a little mock draft for you it's gonna be a lot of fun
i'm trevor sycamore with me as always is connor rogers let's ring the bell Welcome to the opening bell of the NFL Stock Exchange Podcast.
I'm Trevor Sikama. That is Connor Rogers.
Hoping everybody out there had a wonderful Christmas, a happy holidays.
Appreciate you guys joining back in on the show as we get things kicked off with one more week before the new year.
And for this episode, just one, but we promise we're going to make it up to you because this one's a
doozy.
Connor came up with this idea and then we kind of collab best ways to
make it incredible.
And we think you guys are going to love it.
What we are doing here on this show is we are going to predict the
final NFL draft order for the non-playoff teams with two weeks to go
of the NFL season.
And then with that custom predicted order,
we're going to give you guys a mock draft with it, too, at the end of the show.
So a lot of fun that we're trying to pack into this one episode that we have this week.
Connor, how you doing, my friend? And how was your holidays, my friend?
It was great. It was great. It's always Christmas is always a lot of fun, man.
Even when the Jets on Christmas Eve play the slowest game of my life.
It was like the first quarter was over and they'd been playing football for three hours.
And I'm like, man, everybody's going to hate me
when I walk in hours and hours after dinner.
But it is what it is.
That's life working in football.
You know, I love it.
So things are well.
I appreciate you giving me credit for this idea,
even though I really just came up with the grand idea
with no idea how to make it work.
And you have a beautiful way to make it work from
a visual standpoint. So the good people, if you're listening, you will understand it. But if you're
watching, I think you're in for a treat. Yeah, definitely. I think that this is going to be a
lot of fun. So what we're going to do here on this show is we're going to use playoffpredictor.com.
And you guys, again, if you're watching this on YouTube, you'll be able to see us work through
all this. We're going to go through the next two weeks of the NFL.
And Connor and I are simply going to pick winners and losers.
And we'll kind of talk about the teams, obviously, where they are.
It won't be a super deep dive, like a game preview or anything like that.
Some will be quicker than others.
But we're going to pick winners and losers for every single game over the next two weeks.
We will then have a final draft order. It's going to spit out, given our results,
what we think the final draft order is going to be.
We'll then customize the PFF mock draft simulator,
edit the order there, and we'll go in and we'll do a mini mock draft for you
with as many playoff teams as we can while keeping this
considerative time because we don't want to be here for nine hours.
I know you guys probably listening would want want to be here for nine hours.
I know you guys probably listening would want us to be here for nine hours,
but we can't do that.
It's still a little bit of a holiday for us.
So we're going to get to as many as we possibly can.
But Connor,
I'll pull this up.
If you're ready for it,
you want to rock and roll.
Yes.
Okay.
I will pull this up on the screen.
And this is what we have here over at playoff predictor.com.
So Connor,
lo and behold,
first game that's on the list i can't escape it didn't pick
i didn't pick this which by the way can i just say this my fiance's family diehard jets fans oh no i
didn't know this so i was watching the jets game what did they go up like 27 and nothing it was in
like five minutes they scored more points in five minutes than they did in the last seven games.
Watching Washington come back to then take the lead.
Brother, we ran the full gamut of emotions.
The Jets are the greatest.
They're going in the right direction.
This is the worst franchise I've ever seen.
And then, you know, they end up getting the dub.
So it was, I just had to mention that to you on the show that I watched that game.
I'm glad you got that experience. So no, it was uh it was a full roller coaster so anyways okay so we got the jets
coming off of a thrilling victory they now travel to the cleveland browns what do we think about
this one who's winning this game browns can clinch the playoffs i think they will i think this game
will be pretty gross honestly joe flacco has been. Amari Cooper has been sizzling. I think that although plays to the strengths of the Jets,
the Jets are really good against wide receivers and teams that have to air it out. But I think
at the end of the day, Trevor Simeon won't be able to score enough points. So I think the Browns
clinch the playoffs with this one. Okay, so we're going to go with the Browns. I don't really have too much pushback there from you.
Jets have obviously been, you know, sort of feisty at certain points throughout this season.
But Browns are a good team.
Touchdown favorites.
Yeah, I think that this is going to.
Oh, if you've got the lines up.
We'll get the rest of them up as we sit here.
Yeah, I feel like that would be probably a good way to do this.
By the way, while you do that, you mentioned Amari Cooper.
I have to shout out a friend of mine who went 13-0 in fantasy football this season.
13-0.
And let me tell you, he talked smack every single week.
We got a group chat of a bunch of us.
And every single Tuesday morning, he would send us, you know,
hey, y'all ever been 8-0 in fantasy? Hey, y'all ever been 9 he would send us you know hey y'all ever been eight no in fantasy hey y'all ever been nine and oh in fantasy hey y'all
been 10 and oh so obviously he gets the number one seed he didn't lose gets the bye week and
then this week was the first round for him in the playoffs guess what he lost baby to Amari Cooper
no but the reason why I bring up Amari Cooper, it's even better. He had Cooper on his bench.
Oh, my God.
What?
So his wide receivers.
Yeah, explain this to me.
It's not.
It wasn't.
And, you know, like we try in this fantasy league.
16 league?
No, it's not.
It's like a 12 team league.
I think 10.
Maybe it's 10.
He had Mike Evans and Amon Ra St. Brown.
That's who he started.
Who were good.
Who got him.
Both of them got him points in the 20s.
And then he had Amari Cooper and Puka Nakua on his back.
Oh, my God.
Who wears flexes?
This is insane.
He played James Conner in the flex.
Yeah, that was a mistake
mark cooper was the second most fantasy points by a player this season i don't doubt it so we all
laughed hysterically as lost after man you reap what you sow brother i mean you really do it's
that's the reaping sowing meme you gotta do it you gotta stay absolutely humble until you get that championship all right so we got the browns beating the jets here um raiders colts man yeah so raiders are
three and a half point underdogs although ironically enough i love the feisty antonio
pierce raiders i do i think this is more of a coin flip than that spread indicates i i agree
and i think that the only reason why that number probably is what it is
because the Colts are at home, right?
Colts are at home.
So that gives you a point and a half.
The other two points, I think, come from respect for Steichen.
And the Colts' pass defense has been very good for the most part.
I guess we lean Colts, but I think that should be a lot closer.
I know.
I agree.
I could go either way on this one.
I love Shane Steichen and what he's been doing.
Colts coming off a disappointing game.
I'll give him the bounce back and I'll say Colts.
I'll go Colts here.
Dolphins, Ravens.
Holy cow.
Titanic matchup here.
This one's in Baltimore.
What's the play?
Can Baltimore lock up the one?
I don't know if they could lock up the one.
I don't think they would be able to two weeks out.
This absolutely locks up Lamar's MVP.
If they win this, yes.
Pretty much, yes.
So that's a big one on the line.
The Ravens are three-point favorites.
I like Miami getting points in this game,
but I still don't know if
i'm confident enough outright to say they win i just like that they were getting three and a half
when it launched uh i think i would still lean ravens but this is going to be a sweaty one yeah
it should be a pick them in my opinion i well i do agree with you and that baltimore defense
playing so well too all the time no jaylen No Jalen Waddell, by the way.
I mean, they haven't officially ruled him out, but that's his gamesmanship.
He's not playing on a high ankle.
Yeah, I'm going to go Ravens.
We're going Ravens here.
New England Patriots, Buffalo Bills.
Buffalo Bills, all of a sudden, they're hot, baby.
They're hot.
This one's in Buffalo.
The Patriots still stink.
I want everybody to remember that.
They still stink. Over the to remember that they still stink.
You know, over the last couple of weeks, it's kind of like looked competent a little bit.
Gotten some dubs in there.
But I mean, I have no reservations picking Buffalo.
What do you think?
Yeah, no reservations.
I think the spread's a little too big.
It's 12 points.
New England has the best run defense in football for over a month now.
So Josh Allen's going gonna have to throw which is
fine with josh allen they'll be okay uh i think the patriots will try to get them into a grinded
out game but buffalo should theoretically take care of business yeah i agree with you there as
well so we'll go buffalo man pick all home teams here yeah every home team we're cowards um
tennessee titans traveling to houston we getting. Stroud back? That's the lingering thing.
If Stroud's back, you think this line goes from four and a half to seven.
So we'll go with the Texans here, I would think.
I think that that, yeah.
Because even if Stroud has a chance to play here,
we're recording this on a Wednesday.
I'm going to go Stroud there.
Bengals, Chiefs.
Chiefs need this one.
It's at home.
They better win this game.
If they don't, I mean, what are we doing here right now?
And the Chiefs are still big favorites.
They are seven-point favorites, so we'll go with the Chiefs.
Yeah.
I know, I know.
But how bad they've looked, it's...
I know.
It's a lot of points.
I guess.
They look really off.
They feel like they need to...
Those seven points must simply be because vegas knows
that pat is just gonna lock the hell in yeah it's almost like a statement chance at home
you know and cincinnati's defense has been in tough shape this year where you think they can
get that opportunity it's a lot of points but we'll take the chiefs all right we'll go chiefs
here we're just picking wins here, folks, by the way.
We're not picking on spreads because we're just trying to get to the draft order of this thing.
Yeah, right.
Chargers-Broncos.
So Broncos recently, today, announced that they are benching Russell Wilson
in favor of squints.
Jarrett Stidham, Auburn legend.
I think they're cutting Russ.
Yeah, they have to be cutting Russ.
I mean, that's the only explanation that they have.
Because here's the thing.
Now, I'm not trying to say that Russ is playing great football,
but he's playing fine football.
I don't think he's playing benchable football,
but the reason why you bench him is because he has a injury clause for
2024 or 20,
I think 2025 that if he gets hurt and he can't pass physical in March,
he gets an added 37 million that becomes guaranteed onto his contract.
If he can't pass
physical in march so if you're even thinking about cutting him you're probably going to bench him but
if you are benching him then that almost plays your hand anyway so brad spielger brad spielberger
our our cab guru over at pff he wrote an article um basically spelling all this stuff out over at
pff.com and he had a uh tweet that kind of encapsulated his thoughts in the article.
And he said, best outcome for Denver at this point.
This is after Russ got benched.
A post June 1 release.
Right.
First day of the 2024 league year, which pays Russ $39 million for 2024.
It is a $35.4 million dead cap in 2024.
And then still a $49.6 dead cap hit in 2025.
So they're basically just saying we're eating it.
We're eating the contract.
And I think that Sean Payton is going to go scorched earth on that entire front office and the entire organization.
And I think everybody's basically out.
So we already know that Brandon Staley, tom telesco are out with the chargers easton stick the quarterback
instead of justin herbert like justin herbert versus jared sitem cool baby i don't know what
the price could be to get into that game but can't be high i i kind of want to go with the chargers i guess they're three point dogs in that game
just because it's home uh or has the line a little bit of it but it has has the the line
adjusted for russ being out it had to have let me look at what it opened with in two seconds
so this one originally i had it as the yeah broncos were favored by five and a half
so went down two and a half points from russ to sit them which is that's about right like expected
maybe we should just give sean payton and the defense the bump and just give him the win
yeah and if you're in that broncos front office it It's one of those things where you pack a little bit early.
Pack your things up.
It's tough.
What an ugly scene.
That is rough.
Carolina Panthers
at the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Man, Trevor Lawrence with a shoulder injury.
They did not look good last week.
They looked dreadful.
Holy cow.
Now, we have said on this show that
I've certainly been wary of the Jaguars because even though they have had moments where they look great, they also have moments where they don't.
It's a very hot and cold team right now, and they're in the valley. They're in the coldest parts, and it's just not looking pretty for them.
With that being said, does Carolina get the win in jacksonville seven point underdogs even i think
that's pricing in that's pricing in bethard starting whereas mike renner would say beat hard
cj beat hard that'd be so much cooler if that's how you said that renner actually thought that
was his last name you know oh wow i wasn't just joking no first time he looked at cj bethard's name he thought it was cj beat hard how many words over our lifetime with are we taught
with a th that's so funny that's great i have to i just bring it up every time because it makes
me like every time all right so we still going jags yeah? Yeah, seven-point favorites, although sneaky one for Carolina.
It is.
This is one where I wouldn't be shocked at all.
And they're playing a little better.
Bryce had his best game last week.
We'll stay cowards, but, you know.
Yes, we'll stay cowards for the simulation.
Steelers and Seahawks.
I'm comfortably going with the Seahawks here.
Okay, that's fine with me.
We have picked all home teams.
I know. But all the home teams are massive here. Okay, that's fine with me. We've picked all home teams. I know.
But all the home teams are massive favorites.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lions versus the Cowboys.
Big game for seeding both these teams.
Does this surprise you that the Cowboys are six-point favorites?
Six?
So, yes, they're six-point favorites. I mean, I was about to pick the Cowboys are six point favorites? Six? So, yes, they're six point favorites.
I mean, I was about to pick the Cowboys, but six?
Did you know?
Was Detroit resting people?
The Cowboys are on a 15 game win streak at home
and the seven home games they've played this year,
they've won six of them by 20 or more points.
They average 40 points at home, which is the best in the league.
That's insane.
They are a unit when they are home.
It's not even like they're good at home.
They are historically great this year at home.
That's why Dan Campbell is dealing with one of the more disrespectful lines you'll see.
It's justified.
Wow.
Yeah. Well, we'll see. It's justified. Wow. Yeah.
Well, we'll pick the Cowboys here.
You know, it is too bad that they're going to have to play in Tampa on the road in the first week of the playoffs and lose.
You know, that is.
I can see that from a mile away.
That is really a shame.
That is really.
It was just a month ago.
You and I were talking about the Jets and Bucks picking like 11th and 12th in the draft.
And I was like, oh, Trevor, these Bucks picking like 11th and 12th in the draft and I was like oh Trevor these Bucks they're gonna they're gonna win this this sad sack of a division
yeah it is Mr. three-year 75 million dollar that's exactly right there's no Smith part two
and the Philadelphia Eagles um I mean I like the way that the Cardinals have been playing but
Eagles are still in a spot where they have to keep their foot on the gas.
And they got to get right, right?
They just don't feel right.
Yeah, right, right.
I'm just going to stay with the Eagles.
Here we go.
Here's the road team, baby.
Rams and Giants.
I'm comfortably going with the Rams.
Comfortably.
Comfortably.
Tyrod Taylor will start this game. One of the hottest teams in the NFL right now is the Los the Rams. Comfortably. Comfortably. Tyrod Taylor will start this game.
One of the hottest teams in the NFL right now is the Los Angeles Rams.
Yeah.
San Francisco 49ers.
Another away winner.
Add the Washington Commanders.
Yeah, this is another away winner.
Sam Howell no longer starting.
And we will get to that in the mini mock draft.
We'll talk about that a lot more.
Because now quarterback is firmly on the table for a team that has a top five pick right now.
And, you know, depending on how the simulation goes, maybe it's even higher.
Saints and Bucs.
Oh.
I mean, I have to pick Tampa here.
Yeah.
Tampa already beat New Orleans earlier this season.
The New Orleans Saints are, to me, the most disappointing team of the NFL this year.
I mean,
just the inconsistency that they have played with it.
And,
and the way that they have gone all in on winning the division this year,
just to probably come up short.
Although obviously if you beat Tampa here this week,
it becomes anybody's race going into last week,
but I would go with Tampa here.
Tampa is actually playing really well.
New Orleans is still very up and down.
So I'm going to go Tampa there.
The tightest line of the week is Atlanta and Chicago.
I skipped Atlanta,
Chicago.
That's my fault.
Oh,
okay.
So Atlanta,
Chicago,
not the tightest line of the week.
No,
but close still three points.
Chicago is favored by three points over.
I have no idea who wins this game.
No idea either. I literally want to flip a coin if I could find one and just make three points over i have no idea who wins this game no idea either i
literally want to flip a coin if i could find one and just make this pick i have no idea do you have
a coin i don't we don't have a coin we don't have a coin i have a i have a commemorative steven
stamkos hockey puck but it's in glass wait oh wait hold on hold on i have another one wait wait
we have a man we have an official tamp official Tampa Bay Lightning Stanley Cup champions hockey puck right here.
And we're going to flip this bad boy.
This is heads.
This is tails.
So this will be the Atlanta Falcons.
This will be the Chicago Bears.
All right.
We're picking the Atlanta Falcons, baby.
Wow.
Arthur Smith is back.
The puck does not lie.
I don't know what he's back from, but now I can't get my camera to.
This one has a big draft order implications, by the way.
There we go.
Okay.
Like massive draft order implications this game.
I know.
So it's kind of funny that we had to flip a puck to figure that one out.
Okay.
So we're going with the Atlanta Falcons.
And then the tightest line of the week.
Packers-Vikings.
The Vikings are favored by one and a half points.
They're missing, it feels like their entire offense besides Justin Jefferson.
Is Mullins still a quarterback?
I believe so.
I'm not picking Nick Mullins.
I lean Green Bay as a dog here.
Yeah, right.
I agree.
Yeah.
I'm picking Green Bay.
Okay.
All right.
Just so people can see it, this is now the current draft order with one week to go from what we have picked.
We picked a lot of the favorites.
So, essentially, what we have done is kind of gone through a simulation.
Like, right?
These are the odds on
favor this is this is the highest odds for whatever the order would be after week 17 you
guys can see that um on the board right now i won't read it off we'll read it off when we get
to the end for all the audio only listeners so let's go over to uh week 18 but before we get

getting back to it week 18 this is it for all the marbles as they say jets patriots we talked weeks ago we highlighted this
very game as one of the most important games left in the nfl season for the nfl draft connor
who wins this game it's at home for the patriots i honestly this could be a pick them when it comes
down to it it could be sim Simeon versus Zappi.
New England's not allowing anyone to run against them.
The Jets never beat Belichick.
I mean, don't feel great about it.
And not to be that guy, but I was saying a couple weeks ago,
I'm like, New England has a chance to steal a couple wins here.
I kind of think New England wins. I kind of do, and what have they done trevor they've won two of their
last three they beat the steelers and broncos they lost the kansas city we'll see what happens
against buffalo this week like here's the thing let's assume it's belichick's last game as a new
england patriot that he hates the jets more than anything on earth
you're telling me he's gonna lose to the trevor simeon jets as his last game as a patriot
that is that'd be despicable that'd be the most down bad way to go out for a great of all time
that's like undertaker streak being broken yeah wait who did who did
undertake to lose to somebody stupid i yeah i i remember it was it was like i you and i have
talked about how we are more attitude era and then like a little bit post attitude era wrestling i
by the time undertaker lost his streak i was not watching wrestlemania anymore yeah he's still
undefeated to me same like i i don't act like that that exists okay
here we go wrestlemania win the wikipedia of this is great i thought it was brock lesnar
is it ah that is so stupid stupid not even like somebody cool i mean brock was cool
in like 2003 yeah exactly you know like after he got cut from the vikings iron man match versus kurt
angle somehow was not a pay-per-view was on friday night smackdown on cable unbelievable
uh okay so anyways he apparently lost the roman reigns so he's actually has two wrestlemania
losses boy i i just remember the brock lesnar one he fell off yeah what that's okay so i mean
belichick can't have his undertaker wrestlemania brock lesnar moment he fell off yeah what that's okay so i mean belichick can't have
his undertaker wrestlemania brock lesnar moment so we'll go against the jets so we'll go with
we'll go with the paper but i really don't know hilarious if he does yeah i really don't know who
wins this game i i think the the jets are one of the most unpredictable teams in the nfl right now
you're telling me yeah it's just it will the defense show up and be absolutely elite or not
that's pretty much the conversation that we're having here.
I think the floor is low, but the ceiling is also low with the Patriots.
However, it's Belichick, so I'm just going to go with him at home.
Bills, Dolphins.
Maybe for the division.
This game will then be for the division.
If the Dolphins lose in Week 17 to the Ravens and if the Bills win, this will be for the division if if if the dolphins lose in week 17 of the ravens and if the bills win
this will be for the division it's in miami man i don't even know if waddle's gonna be back at
that point i think that's brain and what capacity will he be back and they're gonna make the
playoffs no matter what but hosting a playoff game is so important yeah and you want to win
this division if you're the Dolphins.
You haven't done it in a while.
I, a couple weeks ago, said I think the Bills steal this division.
We going Bills?
I'm going to go personally Bills.
I understand if you have reservations.
I picked the Bills to go to the Super Bowl,
so it only helps my case if the Bills win this.
But, yeah, I mean, if it was a healthy waddle maybe
maybe that's a little bit of difference that i like i mean i can tell the dolphins need to
buck this trend of like what has happened to them against this team that's my takeaway here
the bills the bills look the bills look right yeah the dollar the bills smash the dolphins this year
oh right we're right i see what you're saying. Yeah.
So I,
it's one of those.
I need to see it before I believe in Miami against this team.
All right.
I'm gonna go bills.
So they went to division.
Wow.
Uh,
Steelers Ravens.
Ravens have anything to play for in this scenario.
I know.
I think we just said they would be at this point.
No,
no,
they would not now. So they would rest all their players.
I'm not guaranteeing a Steelers win in that spot.
Oh my gosh.
If the Steelers win this game,
that means Tom would be above 500.
Yeah.
All right.
I think we go Steelers with the note that the Ravens are resting everyone.
All right.
So they missed the playoffs,
but they go nine and eight.
Incredible.
Even more amazing. The Ravens go 13 and four and they go 500 in their division that's weird
so yeah that is weird well we said that the division was going to be very difficult going
into it yeah we knew that that was going to be the case steelers 501 that's amazing um
cleveland browns cincinnati bangles If the Browns win, nothing changes.
If they lose, nothing changes.
Let's go with the favorite as of now with the Browns.
Probably.
They're also coming off a mini bye because they played the Jets on Thursday night football the week before.
Texans Colts.
We assume CJ Stroud's going to be back.
I'm going to pick the Texans.
Okay.
So that would get them to 10 wins.
And in the playoffs,
they,
Oh,
depending on what happens with the,
they'll make the playoffs.
Ooh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm going Texas.
I think we'll get Jags Titans.
I would still go Jags.
Okay.
You think,
I don't know,
man.
Vrabel pulls,
you know,
rabbit out.
This could be a rape right of rabel
villain game yeah a hundred percent this like screams that to me screams it to me is levis
back in this game maybe maybe what's is levis just jumping over people and truck sticking like
he's mike allstott. I can see it.
I'm reading something now that says,
it sounds like Will Levis might be able to play against the Texans this week.
So you figure that he's probably going to play against.
He is hopeful to suit up against the Houston Texans.
Okay, so.
Am I nuts for leaning Tennessee?
I mean, I don't hate it.
It really impacts the draft order here too, which like like that's why i want to be careful here i i don't think it's nuts what do we have the titans losing to on the road to the texans the
week before and we have the jags beating the panthers the week before dude i i think i think
the titans could win this game jags I think the Titans could win this game.
Jags are still the seventh seed if this happens.
No matter what.
Yeah.
I think so.
Okay.
Yeah.
No, it still says that here.
Unless something.
Yep.
No, I don't think anything.
Still has them as a seventh in our simulator.
Unless if the Broncos win.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, right?
So if the Broncos.
Well, I don't think the Broncos are going to win anyways.
Do you think they're going to?
I think the Raiders are going to win that last.
I'll take the Raiders.
That's a damn game.
If the Broncos won in this scenario, the Steelers would make the playoffs.
Oh, my God.
No, I think that I think the Raiders win.
OK.
And then.
Chiefs take care of business.
Yeah.
Chiefs are going to take care of business and they're going to get the three C.
All right.
So headed over to the NFC bucks,
even with it being in Carolina,
I think Tampa wins.
Um,
Cowboys.
Yeah.
Cowboys easy over the commanders.
I think Eagles easy over the giants.
Although when I say easy,
Lord knows division matchups last week of the season,
you get spoiled 100%, but.
Eagles still playing for something here too.
Oh, 100%.
If they don't win this game,
Eagles travel to Tampa instead of hosting the left game.
So Eagles, that's brutal for the Giants,
or better if you're rooting for a draft pick for the Giants.
Vikings, Lions.
I like the Lions are at their home
golf home
I don't think anything happens to the Lions though
oh so they could rest
yeah like nothing changes for them
now I don't that doesn't guarantee
that Minnesota wins this game no
but I think the starters if you see them you might
only see them for two quarters
this is where this exercise becomes very hard
it's the unpredictable nature of who has something to play for and who doesn't but that's the point
of the whole thing i think i'd still go lions though if they're at home and dan campbell is
a great head coach and i think he's even going to have those guys who are maybe getting a lot
of playing time for the first time really motivated to get that so i'll go with the lions
unless justin jefferson just goes off for 400, which maybe you will.
Bears, Packers in Green Bay.
I think the Bears can win this game.
Oh, man.
What a Aaron Rodgers reverse the curse.
Yeah.
I think Fields against that Joe Barry defense.
I like the Bears.
The Bears.
Okay. I think since week eight when that fields against that Joe Barry defense, I like the bears, the bears. Okay.
I think since week eight have a top five,
they've one of the best defenses in football for the second half of this
season.
Dude,
what a trade that Montez trade trade has been nominal.
And I did not think that I was going to be worth the high second round
pick that they gave.
I really didn't hand Jalen Johnson's point.
Like that defense has totally turned the corner of the second half of of the year i like the bears against the packers here uh falcon saints
this game's in new orleans again i don't know yeah i would i would lean saints i guess
i don't feel like strongly either way and also don't care because these teams are not now playoff relevant.
And they're also not draft relevant because they've won too many and they
haven't won enough.
So we'll go saints.
I guess.
Right.
Seahawks and Cardinals.
Man,
I think Cardinals could play spoilers like the Titans.
That would be wild.
I don't know.
Seahawks have a lot to play for in this spot, obviously.
They do have a lot to play for.
Arizona's defense is pretty rough.
If they lose, nothing changes, though.
Oh, I guess if they win.
Oh, no.
Who do we think?
Well, let me check that.
Oh, so if the 49ers win, they get the one seed in this scenario.
Right. So they're going one seed in this scenario. Right.
So they're going to play the Rams tight.
Do you think the Rams play spoiler, or would you give it to the Niners?
I think the Rams can steal this one, but I'll still give it to the Niners
because they'll be favored at home against them.
What do we go at Seattle?
Probably.
Oh, man.
You kind of got to lean Seahawks right now at how bad Arizona's been,
but yeah,
I think it's Seattle.
Okay.
All right.
We'll give it to Seattle.
And if it's not,
it's a huge,
it's a huge spoiler,
big upset.
Yeah.
Okay.
So there we go.
That is,
uh,
these two weeks of results,
week 17,
week 18,
and the final draft or that we have here,
drum roll,, folks.
For everybody who's listening audio only, who can't see it on the screen,
Panthers have the number one overall pick, so nothing changes there.
It's the Chicago Bears still picking number one.
Cardinals get pick number two.
Washington Commanders get pick three.
Patriots are at four.
Giants at five.
Chargers at six.
Jets seven.
Titans eight.
Bears with their original pick
at number nine vikings at 10 falcons 11 saints 12 packers 13 raiders 14 broncos 15 bengals 16
colts get 17 the steelers get 18 um and then the texans and Jaguars, I think, are all...
Wait, how does that...
How would that work?
Did I go too many?
Did I go one too many?
Why are these teams here?
I don't know why these teams are here.
It should only go to 19.
Am I crazy?
Something messed up here.
I don't know what happened.
I guess it only goes up to 18,
because then the Steelers would be the last team that didn't make the playoffs. Okay. guess it only goes up to 18, because then the Steelers would be the last team
that didn't make the playoffs.
Okay.
So it'll go up to 18.
Makes sense.
There we go.
We're fine. Everything's fine.
Yeah, everything's fine.
Everybody calm down, all right?
We got it handled.
We're panicking.
We might have ruined the whole episode.
No, we didn't.
Now we're going to plug that order
into the PFF Mock Draft Simulator, and we're going to plug that order into the PFF mock draft simulator,
and we're going to run for you guys.
A mini mock draft.
Before we do that,
shout out to our friends over at prize picks,
the largest daily fantasy sports platform in North America,
easily the most exciting way to play DFS.
It's just you against the numbers.
All right.
You pick more,
you pick less.
It is that easy.
Instead of battling thousands of other players,
including pros and sharks,
you just pick more or less than on two to six players so it's it's got to be different
entries it's got to be at least two entries two to six entries these are player stat projections
and you just watch the winnings roll in price picks even has a reboot policy so that you never
have to watch something if guy gets hurt oh man all of a sudden you lose no well no no that's not
the case here for football and basketball injuries.
If you have a player who exits the first half of the game,
does not return for the second,
that player is automatically rebooted.
It's price picks.
The only daily fantasy sports platform with an insurance policy.
People.
We got an official one for this week.
This is for me.
Lie again, our producer, our producer, Rashad white.
Love this one.
More than 69 and a half rushing yards. DeAndre Hopkins,
more than 54 and a half receiving yards.
And Matthew Stafford,
oh, he's buying into the rise.
More than 55 and a half passing yards.
So we got three bets of more here.
Rashad White, DeAndre Hopkins,
Matthew Stafford.
So those are our three,
but you guys can come up
with your own three over at PrizePix.
Go to prizepix.com backslash NFLSE. Use the promo code NFLSE for a first deposit match up
to $100. That is once again, prizepix.com backslash NFLSE. Using the promo code NFLSE,
you get your first deposit match up to $100. So $300 to play with, folks. Pick more, pick less.
It is that easy with our friends over at PrizePix.
All right.
So let's figure out the best way to do this here.
So stop sharing this.
And we're going to share a different screen here.
Where is the mock draft simulator?
All right.
We got that.
Pulling that up so the fine people can see it over at pff.com all right now we got to redo the order so it's panthers cardinals washington
new england so it's the same as it is right now giants chargers jets
at seven giants chargers jets at seven oops i'm gonna edit the order here
i just seven i know the bears are nine are the titans eight who was titans eight bears at nine yep yep got that got that and then it is vikings falcons ah the fighting nick mullins welcome to Welcome to the mock draft. Vikings, Falcons, Saints, Packers, Raiders, Broncos, Bengals.
Get the Texans out of here.
They made the playoffs, baby.
Get them out of here.
Colts and Steelers.
Oh, we got the Colts here.
There you go.
Colts, Steelers.
I think that is it.
I think then it would be the Jags that would be next.
Yep, then Titans.
And there we go.
All right, that's it.
So we're going to do a one-round mock draft.
Select all these teams with the new custom order that we have here.
Not too different from the one that's currently projected,
but it does have a couple of new wrenches that are thrown in there.
Plus we get to talk now,
talk about the Broncos and Washington who seem to now be desperately into this
quarterback market.
Connor,
we have the Chicago bears up at number one with Carolina's pick.
Do you think they deal this?
No,
I'm going to get,
I'm going to give us the freedom to trade it if we want.
No. Okay. I don't. So you think that they I'm going to give us the freedom to trade it if we want. No.
Okay.
I don't.
So you think that they're still going to go with the quarterback?
I'm not saying that.
I think it's blasphemous to bring up the idea of like,
what if you trade this pick and build more around Justin Fields?
Like, I don't think anyone that thinks that is insane.
I'm just operating with what I've seen too many times
being around this league and covering the draft.
And that is that Ryan Poles will restart the clock at quarterback, take his own guy, not have to make the decision.
Do I pay fields? Do I not pay fields?
And if he grades out any quarterback in this draft higher than what he thought fields was a prospect, he's taking that quarterback.
Yeah. E.J. Snyder from bootleg football uh they him
and brett released a uh mock draft i think it was their first this season i was listening to it a
little bit and ej made the argument of kind of like why you go caleb williams instead of drake
may but i also think that that argument also goes into why you would go with one of those two guys
over justin fields as well and his argument was if you go with the other guy and caleb goes off
you'll never be able to live it down oh it's it's a scary right you will never be able to live it
down and it's the same thing with justin fields except for it multiplies times two if either of
these quarterbacks if drake may or caleb williams becomes better than justin fields you will never
let it live it down and the the second that that is known,
it's the second that people can accept that you're out of a job.
Boom.
You're packing.
So I agree with you.
I think we go Caleb Williams at one.
All right.
Caleb Williams at one.
That's been a staple.
Yep.
I will say I was floored to see the odds this week.
Had Caleb,
I think minus almost six 50 and Drake may plus four 75 to see the odds this week had caleb i think minus almost 650 and drake may plus 475 to be the number
one overall pick man right i feel so far apart and it's not that far apart it's juicy i thought
it would be like caleb minus 150 drake may plus 200 yeah not even close i don't know might have to throw some quiche down on that
yeah i mean if i was a gambling man yeah and i absolutely am
all right so cardinals up at two marvin harrison at two yeah and with the caveat right trevor that
you could flip this pick to three or four which is a sweet sweetener. Now, in this, I say we just take Marv, but who's to say Arizona can't get the Commanders and the Patriots
to duke it out to come up to that pick?
That is a great point.
If this ends up being the final draft order,
if it ends up being the Cardinals at two,
we're going to have some fun on future episodes or future video shorts
talking about the possibility of either of those teams moving up
and what those conversations sound like on the back end
to try to play those two teams against each other and more, right?
Maybe it's more, too, because you've got the Giants sitting there at five.
Giants are certainly in that conversation as well.
So you could have a major bidding war there for the Cardinals.
If the Cardinals get the number two overall spot, they are in the money.
It's almost a can't-lose situation, but for now, no trade.
We'll have them go with Marvin Harrison Jr.,
the very talented wide receiver out of Ohio State,
which puts Washington – you've got to talk for a podcast, Trev.
That's what they pay you for.
Sam Howell now benched.
We're going to have two weeks of Jacoby Bursette.
Don't think that Jacoby Bursette's going to like the World on Fire.
It's going to be the future, so I think they're going to quarterback here,
Drake May, correct?
Correct.
Okay, all right.
So there you go. There you go washington fans i would give jacoby
rossett an unspeakable contract to be aaron rogers back up next year
unspeakable i'm talking like one year 12 million with incentives
after what i watched this year or you know you could have just done that with joe flacco
there's so many so many names, we don't have enough time.
New England is at four.
Now, here's the question.
Yeah, you're right.
This is actually tougher than face value.
Is Jaden Daniels in this conversation?
You know what?
I think he's going earlier than we when we you know have thought because
here's the thing i've said i think i said this two weeks ago when we did the mock draft episode
i feel like jayden daniels is going top 10 oh yeah i'm with you we are aligned with that and
if jayden daniels is going top 10 why wouldn't he go for right what are you gonna what are you
gonna sit here and tell yourself well you know we'd him at eight, but we won't pick him at four. Right. You're the dumbest thing.
Right.
Yeah, you're right.
I think that.
Okay.
You talk me right into it.
Honestly.
Damn.
We just went.
We just went quarterback, wide receiver, quarterback, quarterback.
But it's not crazy.
No, it's not.
And these teams desperately need quarterbacks.
And who are you going to go get?
Baker?
No, he's a buck right and like who who
at the very least i mean shoot i don't even know who are you gonna go get there's nobody who's out
no no you're like what are you trading for sam howell like no you're drafting jay daniel's before
that's what you're doing so we're going j to Jaden Daniels at four. Giants up at five. Malik Nabors, done and done. Never been easier.
Never been easier.
I mean, there's other guys to consider here,
but the confidence in which you said never been easier,
I have no choice but to go with it and roll on to number six.
So it's the Chargers at number six.
So let me ask you this.
Who do you like better to play right tackle for the Chargers,
Olu or Alt?
I think it doesn't matter.
No.
I mean, that question you basically have to answer
with pre-draft visits.
Yeah, I agree.
Trainers, all that kinds of stuff.
I mean, all we know is the chargers and jets are taking these
two tackles yes correct this is a very easy back-to-back just put it in the order that you
want it to be in all right let's go well look we gave the chargers the dream mock draft last week
did and joe wall was the pick there we got a key did you get the the from the mayor the mail in the
letter saying you and i got a key to the city for that mock draft.
No,
mine must be late.
So I guess you got,
you got your key to the city.
I guess my might must be coming.
There's no way that the,
the mayor of Los Angeles didn't give me one.
No,
you definitely got a key to the city.
All right.
So we're going to go Joe alt for the charges six and then Shanu for the jets of seven.
People are going to think i manipulated
this but i promise i didn't know it's guys it's extremely close it's extremely close these are
two phenomenal prospects i think olu moves a little bit better in practice protection but
joel is a little bit bigger a little bit longer handles the run a little bit better so it's like
it's kind of it's a giant pick your preference we talked about Olu as the top tackle for a long time,
but that is truly,
it's like the Malik neighbors conversation.
It's almost disrespectful to how good Malik neighbors is.
The way that we unquestionably talk
about Marvin Harrison Jr. as wide receiver one,
the way that we have just been like,
yeah, Olu Fashano, he's offensive tackle one.
That does not do Joe Alt's talent justice.
So I had no problem flipping it here,
even to give people kind of a view into where these prospects are
and how good both of them are.
So Alt at six, Fashanu at seven, Titans now at eight.
Taliza Fuaga or JC Latham or Marius Mims?
I go Fuaga.
Me too.
Okay.
He's tackle three for me right now.
I am really excited to do a full tape watch of the tackles this year.
Yeah.
That's going to be one of the positions that we're going to get to either.
We'll either do,
I think corner next or offensive tackle next one of those two positions,
but we get the bear is now up at number nine.
Ooh,
man.
There's,
this is like maybe the most fun situation i i look at brock bowers there and
i'm like oh man but you paid commit which is fine you could play too brock could play the slot
yeah i could talk myself into law too i i roma dooday makes sense i would say either a dooday or i gotta update this after our edge
edge rush rankings because um dallas turner would be next for me i know and i'm intrigued
by dallas turner there you like uh you obviously like a lot too so do i but if we i think we go
rome because then caleb walks into a situation where he's throwing a DJ more
Roma do say he could grow with those guys.
They have commit.
Who's good.
Yep.
Let's do Rome.
I like it.
Roma do say to the Chicago bears to give them Caleb Williams and Roma
do say there as the one and two picks in the top 10 Minnesota Vikings
at number 10.
Also need a quarterback.
Bad news.
Don't know what to tell you.
It's like the scene in The Hangover.
Ah, yeah.
We fucked up.
We missed.
Oh, yeah. that's perfect.
That's 100% perfect.
Okay, so.
Hope you like Kool-Aid McKinstry.
No, I'm just kidding.
You know, I don't think they go DB.
No, no, I'm thinking pass rush.
Yeah, D-line. Brian Flores has been blitzing like no other man has ever blitzed before.
And I'm sure for just one game,
he'd like to have somebody that just gets home.
I think that that's Dallas Turner to me.
Let's do Dallas Turner.
He's freaky enough that he won't,
he could easily go in the top 10.
Hunter's actually playing well,
but what's Hunter's contract?
What do we got here?
I mean,
he's,
he's a beast to Neil Hunter.
Oh,
last year in his contract.
Okay.
Okay. So he'll be 30 years old next year yeah i mean he'll probably get like the von miller deal right you know i
would be able to say yes more confidently if i knew off the top of my head what the von miller
deal was oh my god it's insane hold on one sec obviously did not age well for a variety of
reasons it was a six-, $120 million contract.
Wait, you think he's getting six years, $120 million?
Well, let's talk about the guarantees.
45 mil was fully guaranteed at signing.
Yes, I think Daniel Hunter is absolutely getting that.
Oh, OK.
I think they're going to draft a pass rusher either way, though.
So I think we should go Dallas Turner.
OK.
Oh, which absolutely robs the Falcon City Garrett 11.
I'm cool with with lots who are verse for them.
I'd go verse or you know what?
We just keep it going.
Arthur Smith takes Brock Bowers and he doesn't use him and you just accumulate an offensive
stockpile of elite talent that has no usage in fantasy or real life.
I hate you.
Everybody's on board.
I hate you.
Georgia fans are happy. Oh oh they got our guy up
he doesn't play um no we're not doing that i won't i won't let it happen i won't stand for
we got to save society i think i would go verse here me too okay heavy hands jared verse for the
falcons at 11 saints are now up at 12 i could talk myself into a lot of picks here started i could even think johnny newton
although they took brazil last year so we'll get away from that yeah i don't think that they would
do that and glottis solid for them they're good on perimeter corner too so i'm not looking at
no yeah i don't really right like that there this is actually kind of a weird one. Do you start to think that you take a tackle here like Latham?
You could.
Ramchick plays right tackle, so it would kind of just be,
do you think Marius Mims or J.C. Latham could play left tackle?
And Andrews Peet plays there, right?
Yeah, but he too more of a guard
right that's what i was thinking yeah i'm definitely taking i think i'm taking mims
okay because i think he's the long-term left tackle for them but i have no problem taking
latham all right you won't go man I just have to walk away with a tackle.
Let's go Mims.
Okay, we'll go Mims here.
Where is he?
You passed him.
He's way up higher.
Oh, yeah, there he is.
There he is.
All right, so we're going to Marius Mims.
No quarterback for you.
Sorry, Saints fans.
Stuck with Derek Carr.
I mean, I didn't do the contract.
Don't blame me.
I hated it from the day it was signed.
All right.
Packers at 13.
Also need a tackle.
They do need a tackle.
Bakhtiari, it's over for that.
It's over.
It's over for that.
Did you see what happened to Jair Alexander?
Yeah, hilarious.
Absolutely hilarious. Incredible. The dumbest suspension of all time. Yeah, I thought so, too. that you see what happened to gyro alexander yeah hilarious absolutely hilarious incredible
the dumbest suspension of all time yeah i thought so too it's like okay relax they play the vikings
this week yeah you might need them there's not a game left in your schedule and i understand it's
two games that you need this man more that's why you pay gyro alexander a lot of money and they
suspended him a game interesting this. This is tanking at its
finest. I was going to say. And it's absolute
fun. This is the champagne of tanking.
It makes you wonder.
So, with that being said,
probably Latham?
Probably Latham. Yeah, he's a good
offense tackle. Because I don't really
think...
I don't really know who else. I don't think
they'd go with anybody else they just
stocked up on tight ends they drafted um van ness last year they have rashaun gary
you've got some interior guys could you could draft your son newton if you wanted to but yeah
i think they've got interior guys i like them a lot could make sense because you could play
i like the machine a lot there for sure
I still am more comfortable
with Latham
that's what they do
they're going to beef up
the trenches
that is a green
but he does doesn't it
beef
man
corner
DeGene makes so much sense
for them
fire away
I'm going to pick DeGene here and if Packers fans are mad at me Dejean makes so much sense for them. Fire away.
I'm going to pick Dejean here.
And if Packers fans are mad at me,
then you can let me know in the comments.
You can find these hands in the comments.
Choose wisely.
Las Vegas Raiders.
Yeah, I'm 6'4", 240, remember? Yes.
Pod doesn't forget.
Johnny Newton?
Yeah, probably, right?
Right.
This defense has turned it on.
Man.
They really, I mean, they've really gotten it going.
Where do they go?
Especially on the back end.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Do they go Bowers?
They just took Michael Mayer.
Oh, they just took Michael Mayer.
Yeah, I'm an idiot.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah, I'm an idiot.
All right.
We'll go to John Newton here.
The Denver Broncos.
I'm picking bonics
okay i'm doing it you have taken full control of the mock draft simulator who else did you get a
pick wide receiver i mean i would take panics but we've done this we've done this exercise 1300
times now it's pff pod we gotta stay true to the PFF board, which happens to be me. Oh, what do you know? Look at that.
It's a full Dr. Evil moment.
You just love when the plan comes together.
My goodness.
Look, I'm going Bo Nix.
And for everybody out there who might be rolling the dice,
hating it, Bo Nix, legit NFL arm, has RPO ability.
Obviously, a crap ton of games as a starter.
He's going to be 35 when he gets in the league.
No, I'm just kidding.
He's not.
But he's going to be one of the older prospects. He's got a ton of experience. He's going to need Tommy John to be 35 when he gets in the league. No, I'm just kidding. He's not. He's going to be one of the older prospects. He's got a ton of
experience. He's going to need Tommy John
surgery by the time he gets to the league.
His arm's out.
He's going to need a hip replacement when he gets to the league.
He's got too many screens. He needs Tommy John.
His elbow tore.
Bo Nix is good. I stand by it.
Stidham is going to be their starter next year.
Over Nix? Just the Auburn
or Auburn connection?
Wait, did Bo Nix take Jared Stidham is going to be their starter next year. Over Knicks? Just the Auburn-Auburn connection? Wait, did Bo Nix take Jared Stidham's job?
He's been around long enough that that is actually probably possible.
Yes, he did.
Yes, he did.
This is Stidham's fourth year in the league.
Right, right.
Hold on, I'm looking at this.
Okay, he was at Auburn from 2017 to 2018.
That had to overlap Knicks.
This could set up just a giant FU as well.
Okay.
So no, he was at Auburn at 2019.
So he didn't technically take his job, but he took over for him.
Took over for him.
Yeah.
Okay.
You know, it's going to happen once again.
I'm going Bo Knicks to the Denver Broncos.
Just sit in the locker room like, hey, bud, remember me?
The Bengals, this pick could not be easier.
It's Brock Bowers.
Cool.
The fact that Bowers made it to 16.
Yeah, it's kind of ridiculous.
Nothing short of a Christmas miracle.
But I'll give it to you, Bengals fans.
Probably losing to Higgins, but you're, you know,
finding one Brock powers,
uh,
Colt to 17.
Okay.
We are looking probably if we want to go BP,
I'm kind of intrigued by Nate Wiggins here too.
Oh yeah.
Wiggins still here.
Yeah.
They've taken a lot of flyers at corner over the years and they've've had a couple guys be OK, but like they need an actual dude.
I like Wiggins.
Yeah.
I think I'm going Wiggins.
OK, all right.
We'll go Nate Wiggins here.
CB1 off the board and then the Steelers for the final pick here.
Pick 18.
Man, it's crazy.
Lots of still on the board, i think lots you i i really like
lot to a lot but after watching him under the microscope if you will for our edge rusher
rankings i think he's probably going to be a mid to late first round guy i think i think this is
going to be arranged for him for even as yeah especially with the medical too the medical is
going to go into it and i just i don't think he's going to test very well.
And I think there's going to be a lot of other edge rushers in this class to test well.
I think he's going to test well.
I think Turner is going to test well.
Chop's going to test really well.
You just got guys in this class who I think are going to test really well.
And Latu's numbers are not going to stand out in that regard.
I bet he's going to be either like a 50th percentile kind of an athlete,
maybe a little bit less.
He's still a great pass rusher.
I just don't know if the league's going to draft him
as high as his production warranted for the last two years.
That makes sense.
Anyways, Steelers are up at 18.
They need a corner.
Probably Kool-Aid or Arnold.
Whichever one you want.
Yeah, I actually had Arnold like two spots higher than Kool-Aid
on my last big board, but it's going to come down to what you kind of prefer.
Porter and Arnold, that's a nice one too for the future.
Yeah, I like it.
All right, let's do it.
Let's put Terry Allen Arnold to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
That is the last non-playoff team in the custom order that we had there.
A little bit of a recap because the order is a little different.
So just to make it a little bit easier for people.
Carolina at number one took Caleb Williams.
Arizona at number two took Marvin Harrison Jr.
Washington at three won the Drake May sweepstakes for the second quarterback in this draft.
Then it didn't take long for the next quarterback to go off the board.
Patriots at four took Jaden Daniels.
Giants at five took Malik Neighbors.
Chargers at six took Joe Alt.
Jets at seven. Collusion from Connor to get Olufoshano at number seven.
Talisa Fulaga, the offensive tackle from Oregon State,
going to the Titans at number eight.
Romo Dunze, wide receiver from Washington, going to the Bears at number nine.
Dallas Turner, edge rusher from Alabama, going to the Minnesota Vikings at 10.
Jared Verst, the edge rusher from Florida State, going to the Falcons at 11.
Amaris Mims, the offensive tackle from Georgia, going to the Saints at 12.
O'Connor wants us to make sure that people know that he did not, in fact, sign the Derek Carr contract.
So can't yell at him for that.
We had Cooper DeGene, the defensive back, going to the Packers at 13.
Jerzon Newton, the defensive lineman from Illinois, going to the Raiders at 14.
Bo Nix, quarterback from Oregon, unseating Jared Stidham or taking over Jared Stidham once again in Denver this time at number 15.
Brock Bowers, a tight end from Georgia, going to the Bengals at 16.
Nate Wiggins, the corner from Clemson, going to the Colts at 17.
And then Terryon Arnold going to the Pittsburgh Steelers,
the corner from Alabama at pick number 18.
That was a lot of fun.
I enjoyed that.
That was a fun little exercise. It enjoyed that. That was a good,
that was a fun little exercise.
It was,
it felt like we built something.
It did.
I always love when you say,
I feel like we don't do that as much once the season starts,
you know?
No,
we don't.
In the summer,
we're a console.
I mean,
we made an entire franchise over in Europe would have mascot.
That was like a beer mug.
I mean,
we're in the imagination factory in the last season.
Yes.
We don't need to do it.
So there we go.
It was good to be back. Yeah, no do it. So it was good to be back.
Yeah,
no,
it was,
it was fantastic to be back guys.

Connor, got anything else before we get out of here?
That was a fun one. I think it's going to be also really cool to look back at this in two weeks
and see some twists and turns that we weren't ready for,
how it'll shake it up, and we'll have plenty of reactions
to the finalized draft order of the non-playoff teams as well.
So I'm looking forward to see where it goes, Trevor. Yeah, yeah no this is going to be a lot of fun to watch what happens
over the next couple of weeks of course the playoff spots are a big deal but with as many
teams that need quarterbacks in this draft oh man the next couple of weeks of wins and losses are
going to be great we're already seeing two teams like not put their best roster out there.
Well, maybe Washington kind of is.
I bet you same how I'm going.
Did you go over set?
But Denver is already benched.
I mean, the craziness that we're going to see
over the next couple of weeks,
people say the NFL is the best reality TV show
that there possibly is.
And they ain't lying.
Two weeks left in the regular season.
We are so close to solidifying that draft order
for the non-playoff teams.
And then we can, man, then the real fun begins. I trevor sycamore that is connor rogers thank you guys
so much for watching and listening to the nfl stock exchange podcast we will see you guys next week Thank you.
