Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros. This is the Fantasy
Football Podcast. It is me Joey P joe P Zapia,
and today we've got a very special mock draft episode.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
You remember when you were kids and a very special
Blossom episode was on. Well, guess what. That's what we've
got today. We've got a crossover episode. Who knows what
sort of deep dark secrets we might learn about our guests.
But it's two of my favorite people in the fantasy space.
You know them from the massive YouTube success that is
the Fantasy Headliners. It's Jacob Hubmin and of course Kyle
Richardson are joining us here. Gentlemen, it's great to have
(00:32):
you on the program. You know, I can only imagine,
like you know, those very special Saved by the Bell episodes.
Nobody's on any sort of like weird Uppers or anything
today for the draft.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Jacob, you okay, I think so as of right now.
As of right now, when you mentioned Blossom episodes, I
was totally lost. But once you said Saved by the Bell,
you totally renewed yourself because I can totally relate now.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Yes, well, speaking of being so excited, Kyle Richardson so
excited just to be upright. Yea, apparently he's been under
the weather for the last three weeks, so we appreciate
you soldiering on today to do this PPR mock draft
with us, my friend, and again.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I'm the one with a lot of medication running through
my system, so who knows what I.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Will say today?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Well, I like that. I like that. That's gonna make
this draft even more fun and possibly also more interesting
because I'm at the four spot, Jacob's at the one,
Kyle's at the nine, and guess who also is here
with us from the Athletic Jake Seely, so Ceily. I'm
just gonna call you Seily today. I hope you're all
right with that, so we don't confuse everybody listening on
the audio side for all the Jakes with the headliners
(01:35):
here today. So, Jake Seely, what is your favorite Saved
by the Bell episode? I know you have one.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
I'm so scared, Yes, yes, I'm so scared.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I appreciate the fake biopic they did on the Zach attack.
That was actually a very.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
A classic, Yeah, a classic. I love in one of
those later seasons where everything starts moving around and the
timelines are totally off, and you're like, what's going on?
Have they graduated out He's school? Have they not?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
I would say that was my follow up question. Thumbs
up or thumbs down in the college.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Years thumbs down, thumbs down, hubbman.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I say thumbs up. Once they brought most of them back,
like once s Tiffany Aberthison came back into college.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Then it got better what everybody transferred. All right, yeah,
we got better there, all right, Well, things can only
go up from here. At the start of this show,
right now again, we've got a PPR mock draft. We've
got one QB, We've got two running backs, three wide receivers,

(03:17):
can't hurt your chances? All right, So PPR world, we've
been doing a lot of mock drafts here, Jacob Ufman.
It seems pretty easy to me where we're just gonna
go right ahead there for Jamar Chase. But perhaps that's
not what you're thinking here with the one pick. So
walk me through the top of the board in the
full PPR maybe even versus the half for sure.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
And anybody who has ever watched me over the last
eight years knows that I am all about massive amount
of running backs early. I want touches. However, I chose
the number one spot on purpose because I want to
do something different. If I have the number one, it
is Jamar Chase for me, and I'll kind of go
somewhat quote unquote hero wide receiver. At that point. I
(03:57):
love Beijon. I'm not on the whole Saquon Barkley is
going to regress so much that he's not worth it?
Is he gonna regress, absolutely, and he's not gonna have
probably the same year. Does that mean he's not gonna
be top five at the position still worth the pick?
Absolutely not. So I'm not worried about that kind of stuff.
But if I'm at the number one, I'm gonna have
a little bit of fun and I'm gonna go ahead
(04:17):
and take Jamar Chase.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
All right, So Chase off the board. You know it's funny.
The absolutely not, though I will say the Dad is
not on his side, and I've said that we've got
a fun short here too recently. We just did. So
if you're looking for you know, DeMarco, Murray, Eddie, George Jawn, Alexander,
Larry Johnson, Jamal Lewis twice, Corey Dillon, Edgrin, James Curtis, Martin,
Arian Foster. I'm on Green, I can go on, but
I'm gonna stop because again, we got a show to do.
(04:41):
But yeah, there's a lot of guys who had four
hundred plus carries worth the next year they didn't even
finish as an RB one, So that is terrifying. I mean,
and for me, you know, it was the first round selection.
It's just not where I want to go now. It
is up to me right now. With Chase off the board,
Bijeon goes to Jamiir goes next, which means, guess who
falls in my lap? Justin Jefferson. Yes, please, that's an
easy pick for me. I think JJ will have a
(05:02):
slow start in September, I do, but I think by
the time we turn the page to October first, it'll
be fine. And if he can get the points that
he got last year with Sam Darnold, I think we
can get JJ McCarthy there as well. Ceedee Lamb goes next,
Saquon Barkley to Team six, then Nico Collins goes after
that at one oh seven, then one o eight, Christian
McCaffrey right before you, Kyle, So, Kyle, if McCaffrey was
(05:23):
on the board, is he tempting to you or you
are a no McCaffrey guy.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I'm not a no McCaffrey guy, but I'm a I
would rather have McCaffrey in the second round if possible,
but that's just not gonna happen this year, so I
don't find myself ever drafting him.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah, I feel exactly the same way. I love the early,
early best balls where he's like, oh, he's kind of
at the turn or oh he's a fourteen overall. I'm like, Okay,
that's kind of where it makes sense for me. But
I think the same and it feels like Sealy. As
we get closer and closer here to draft season, you
see that ticking up from fourteenth overall to the turns
and now here you go one oh eight. Is that
(06:00):
what you've been seeing out there in the draft streets?
Speaker 4 (06:02):
I have, and I've actually been willing to. I made
a decision the other day to take Jefferson falling to
the six versus McCaffrey, and I sat there and thought
about it for a long time because, similar to Jake,
the other one argument with Saquon Barkley is I'm not
afraid if I have somebody like McCaffrey, who can be
the one on one period overall in fantasy. I'm going
to take that upside. Look, we lose first rounders all
(06:23):
the time. I still win our leagues. I know that
people are like, oh, you don't want to lose your
draft in the first round. But you saw it this
weekend Joe at the Flex Leagues. Barkley was the second
and third running back off the board in both drafts. Like,
I think there are people that are on your side,
but I think on the whole is you're gonna have
to make that decision with both of them on the whole.
To reference the Austin powers there prasing.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Uh So, Kyle, let's get to your pick here at
one on nine, you took Malik Neighbors. Lots of upside there.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Oh, I actually I got automn picked because I got
the Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Here's the thing. If we're if you're doing your own box,
you can actually roll out your picks. But because we're
doing this one this way using the mock draft lobby,
you can't. One of the many pluses here with the
draft simulator is that you can actually roll the picks
back and say I don't like that. I wouldn't do that.
So I'm sorry Kyle that you got all.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
But I'm the guy in the league that again shows
up either medicated or have been drinking too long forgets
where he's drafting. All that, I'll still take my Leak neighbors.
I was gonna go with my boy I'm in Ross
Saint Brown, but it's fine. I'll take Mylak neighbors as well.
The offense is going to be improved, and it's going
to be improved regardless if Russ is the starter all
(07:36):
year or Dark takes over at some point or what
ends up happening. So volume, volume, volume, with mylik neighbors,
I'll take that all day.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Still all right, you are on the clock, so I
won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to talk to
Jake Seely instead so that I don't want you to
get auto picked twice. But still, Molik, I'm on RA
pretty close there, in fact, so close. I'm on RA
goes at one ten, Pakua next, and then Jake Seely
you go with my boy Derrick Henry and Brian Thomas.
That it's a very Joey peakan to start to a team. Obviously,
You've been hanging out quite a bit with me, so
(08:04):
let's talk about that start. How you feel about those selections.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
A similar to Jake earlier also and very much on
I want to get one of my lead running backs
in the first two rounds if possible. I feel it's
much more attainable at the end of the first because
you can also get the elite wide receiver to match
with them, and it opens it up a lot of
times to reference that other draft where at Jefferson I
kind of went with the Hero wide receiver approach. I
have two running backs and I had Burrow in the
(08:28):
fourth in that league and that one which I haven't
done in a while, but I wanted to try it.
I think it lets you go either way, though, like
I could have had an Hero running back team still
getting Henry there, so I think it just opens up
the flexibility going forward. I'm probably on the turn in
the first always going to pair up running back and
wide receiver, unless there's just some crazy run that happens
in the first round.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
All right, Ashton Genty goes to two two. Devon Han next,
I think Kyle, you took Drake London question. Okay, all right,
good all right, we're back on. Look the terrific here.
Malik Neighbors drag London A great way to start real quick,
Just touch on Malik Neighbors with all the different quarterbacks
this year, if that is something that turns you off
(09:09):
to him as opposed to a Monroe, and then the
upside of Drake London with Pennix this season.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I mean, I think people are going to be worried.
Like listen, I'm not as worried about Malik Neighbors because
I'm a huge Jackson Dark fan. So I think if
for whatever reason he ends up playing this year, I
think Thelie Neighbors is going to end up being just fine.
And I don't think the situation at quarterback can be
any worse than what we have seen recently for them either.
(09:34):
So I'm all in on eliek Neighbors. He's going to
be the number one target by a substantial amount. In
my opinion. Russ is going to throw the deep ball
a little bit better than what they've been used to
over the last couple of years, giving him some more
upside plays to go along with that volume. And as
far as Drake London goes, I have made an argument
at times with my wide receiver rankings to rank him
(09:54):
as wide receiver for absolutely love him this season. Based
on the small sample size that we had at the
very end of the season with Michael Pennix, Drake London
could absolutely eat. I'm buying all in on the Atlanta
Falcons this year and their offense for fantasy.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Josh Jacobs goes next to two five than Aj Brown,
Brock Bowers, Jonathan Taylor then to me again the big
wide receiver bill, that's what I like to do, especially
in the PPR. We've got Lad McConkie to me a
two oh nine. You know, I think that the Justin
Herbert people forget last year, came into the season hurt.
He's a guy that broke the rookie passing record the
next year through for five thousand yards. I know it's
(10:30):
a different team, different regime, but at the same time,
I do think that there's a greater version here of
Justin Herbert in this Roman offense is going to throw
even more. Plus a Marion Hampton I think is gonna
help out a long ways. Also, So Lad McConkie very
steady last year. Bucky Irvin goes to two ten Tyreek
kill at two to eleven. I was considering Hill back
and forth. I thought, oh, maybe it'll make it back
(10:51):
to me. He did not, And of course, Jacob, staying
on brand, doubles up on RBS Chase Brown and Kyron Williams,
Kyron getting the bag in Chase Brown one less piece
around him. Now with all of a sudden, Zach Moss
kicked to the curb.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Yeah, and Zach Moss sucks and that's why he's no
longer there. I mean, let's be completely honest. The dude
was not great at football.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Who sucks more, Zach Morris or Zach Moss just curious?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Oh Zach Moss for sure. I mean there's no way
mosscat that could handle that whole hairwave thing. He couldn't
pull that off. Absolutely not. But I love Chase Brown.
I love Chase Brown last year. He was one of
our must haves last year. And the offensive line isn't
great in Cincinnati, and I think we kind of know that,
but he really thrives on getting the ball in space
and getting to the outside, and he's so explosive. He
(11:32):
makes plays happening with bringing t Higgins back and having
Jamar Chase and Yoshi there, and you know, now we
got multiple tight ends to worry about in Cincinnati. The
boxes aren't gonna be stacked again. And I love Chase
Brown once again. As for Kyron Williams, I know a
lot of people, probably the majority of people, are off
the bandwagon of Kyron Williams this year, and I am not.
I love Kyra Williams very rarely in the third round
(11:54):
are you gonna find a running back that has twenty
touch potential on a weekly basis? I love touches. You
can't score Fantasy without touches. Give me the volume. Now
they've paid him, he's going to be there. I'm not
worried about you know, third day running backs in LA
right now. Maybe in the future. Kyron's still the guy,
and if I can have him as my RB two,
I'll take him.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I could not agree with you more. I've taken Kyen
a lot on these mocks. So make that two for
two there on that one. Also before we continue on
with the third round here, don't forget if you want
to get in the game, best ball is live at DraftKings.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Continuing on with the board here in round three, Josh
Allen a three zero two, Jackson Smith and Jigbit three
zero three. Then I took Garrett Wilson the number one
with the Jets and Justin Fields at three oh four.
Team five selects Marvin Harrison, then Lamar Jackson, Trey McBride,
Breese Hall, Kyle Richardson's on the clock with twenty six seconds.
I can hardly contain myself with the drama.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
I'm trying to click draft for Alvin Kamara.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
It looks like we got our pick in. Alvin Kamara
is the guy. Now. Look, I hate the Saints offense, Kyle,
but I still like the value on Alvin Kamara, and
it looks like you do too.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, I'll take I'll take all the targets that he
likely gets with dump offs this year. In a PPR
league this late, especially since I went wide receiver wide
receiver to start, which I very rarely will ever do.
So definitely a little bit of a different strategy for
me today than I'm used to. Uh yeah, Alvin Kamara
at the end of the third round, here, give me
all of those.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Targets, Jacob who plays more at QB, Spencer Ratler or
Tyler Shuck this season?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Is that me? Now I'm Jacob today?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Right, you're Jacob Jake? Seely's always Jake or just want
to make sure I've never I don't know if you
think Jake is full? Is your full name? Jacob?
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Now there you go. Now I know going forward it's Zi. Yeah. Right,
If I had to guess, it's probably Shucked. But honestly,
they both are not.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Going to be great because I gotten very confident.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I mean, we saw Rattler for a little bit last
year and we're we impressed. No, and that's the whole
reason they did something in the draft. I'm not I'm
not buying anything in the passing offense. Alvin Kamara is
the only piece I will touch for the Saints. And
for the reason that Kyle said is I see a
ton of dump offs a lot of targets, some touchdown opportunities.
If the guy can go out there and score over
(15:21):
six touchdowns this year, it's a slam dunk.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
All right. So let's get to Ceily's picks here after
you have Kamara, Jayden Daniels off the board, Terry McLaurin,
Ken Walker the third, and DeVante Adams to Ceily. So
Walker Adams, you've gone RB wide receiver, RB wide receiver.
I know you're a little ocd jke. Is that part
of what's happening here? Or you just really like the
values of Walker and Adams.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Oh no, those were the values. Those were the players
I was going to take. But I did go RB
and the third just to do it, so you can
go with that. You know my feelings if Kenneth Walker,
if anybody's tuning in and it doesn't. This was somebody
that I thought would see more of a split with
Sharbonne until I talked to Michael Seawan Dugger of the
Athletic and he said, now, everything I'm seeing and hearing
from the team is that he's going to be a
bell cow as long as he's healthy. Despite how good
(16:03):
Sharbonney looked, that's the plans from that system and which
changes a lot. I know it's an injury risk, but
if you're talking about bell cow work for Walker, you're
talking about potentially in RB one and then Adam's that situation.
It was a toss up between Adams and Higgins. But
I know people are worried about staffers back right now.
But a bigger conversation you and I had this on
our last mock draft, is there's a world where if
we've reached the end of the season and Adams has
(16:24):
more Fantasy points than Puku Nakua health aside, just straight
up that he has more points, none of us would
be completely shocked, like it would be a surprise, but
we wouldn't be shocked.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah, I agree with you, man, all Right, So after
DeVante Adams, T Higgins goes George Kittle, goes Kyle back
on the clock Devanta Smith. Now, he was my third
wide receiver that I selected in the Flex League this
weekend where Jake Ceely and I will get to hanging
out and look, he's steady at h man, you kind
of know what you're getting with him. So your thoughts
on Smith at the four H four is your number three?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah, I'm taking him for the upside there. I've already
got elite neighbors and Drake London, who I think you're
going to see a ton of volume. I got Ellen Kamar,
who I think is going to see a ton of
volume in the passing game. So now at this point,
I want a little upside. I want some big playability.
There's gonna be some weeks where DeVante Smith lets you
down and you're just like, man, could this guy just
have caught maybe three balls this week and maybe a
(17:13):
bigger player or something like that. But I need a
little upside to go with this team, and I think
that he was the best bet there, So I go
with him to kind of help balance things out.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
For me, all right, trying to balance things out there.
Next pick here as we look through the board, going
through after DeVonta Smith, Mike Evans, Jalen Hurts, Teed McMillan
goes next, and then Ted McMillan, DJ Moore. I selected
Amari and Hampton here at four h nine, as we
did him and James Cook going back and forth. Cook
probably the safer play here, but I rolled the dice
(17:41):
here with Amari and Hampton a little bit here again
the lack of clarity about Naji Harris. All I know
is that he's wearing an eyepatch and walking around a
track right now. That's basically all I know, and that
doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy about selecting him.
So Cook, I look, there might be touchdown regression from him.
Of course, it's very likely they go to go from
eighteen to thirteen. I can still live with that. Either
(18:02):
one of those selections here pretty good. DK Metcalff goes
in between, so DK at four to ten, James Cook
at four eleven. Calvin Ridley then selected along with George Pickens. So, Jacob,
this has really falling pretty well for you. You took
your as you said, hero wide receiver. You got two
solid number one running backs in Brown and Williams, and
now Calvin Ridley and George Pickens at the four or
five turn.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
I'm so happy right now, like if I could stand up,
I mean, this is like I might have it. Please,
this is great.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Please don't we don't want to get flagged on you.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
I trust me, I know all the rules. But no,
I think Calvin Ridley, when when you look at this
point volume right, I'm not scared about Tyler Lockett or
Calvin Ridley's going to see one hundred and twenty five
plus targets easy in that offense. And honestly, with what
we've seen from cam Ward so far, dude looking pretty
legit in camp. He's making all the throws that he
needs to. He's passing the eye test. Obviously a lot
of it is in shorts, and you can't take too
(18:52):
much that into account, but still I love the potential volume.
And then I'm going with George Pickens as many times
as I possibly can. If I can get George Pickens
in the fifth We've seen George Pickens with horrible offensive
play calling with Arthur Smith and horrible quarterback play for
years with guys like Kenny Pickett. If I can have
him with Dak Prescott a lot of defensive attention, looking
other places to with Ceedee Lamb or Jake Ferguson George Pickens,
(19:16):
I want to know what the upside is. Right, we
haven't seen the ceiling of George Pickens yet, and this
is a great opportunity in this Dallas offense to find him.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
He's still just twenty four years old, He's never played
with a quarterback as explosive as Dak can be at times.
Go ahead.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
I was gonna say, can we talk about because I
love his team too, especially with the Calvin Ridley one
hundred and twenty targets last year for sixty four one
thousand and four, with everybody talking about how terrible that
team was last year, It's like everything's gonna better for
Cam War this year. Everything's gonna be better for the offense.
The backfield is going to look better. And nobody brings
up Calvin Ridley as being better. I can't understand why
he's not getting more respect.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
I don't get it either. I mean it just fits.
I mean it just makes logical sense that his target
share could slightly increase and they could be more catchable targets.
I mean that's a recipe for success.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
I like War too, especially as the third quarterback, and
it's with upside in a super flex Arber I would
be really aggressively. He's a smart kid. He's really committed
to I really like everything comes out of his mouth.
He walks, the walkie talks the talk. I like both
those things. Rushie Rice at five h two, Courtland Sutton
at five oh three. I just missed him. I wanted him,
I just missed him. So I settled for another running
(20:20):
back here, r J. Harvey. Look, I had to spend
a whole weekend with Derek Brown. It must be rubbing
off of me because I drafted R J. Harvey here.
But look, two rookie running backs running the football in
this league is a young man's game. So I think
that JK. Dobbins was brought in just to shave the workload.
I don't think it's the takeover. I see him and
now with the potentially he's the joker in this offense.
As we're starting to hear, now, maybe it's not Evan Ingram,
(20:42):
Maybe it's actually r. J. Harvey. That's a horse of
a different color. Travon Henderson goes next at five oh five,
then Jalen Waddle, Chewba Hubbard, Chris o'lave, and then another
RB to Kyle Richardson.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Who was it Kyle James Conner. I'll go with James
Connor there as my RB two. I like James Connor,
the age and potential injury concerns always pop up with him.
But just make sure you get Trey Benson later on
and you'll be all set there.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
You go, simple as that, everybody, that's what you do.
Xavier Worthy of five po ten. Then we have Jerry
Judy go next. After that, Jake Seely up for two picks.
He did not go running back wide receiver and say
he took Jamison Williams, a player we debated yesterday on
Draft Court. You can go watch me in the wig
playing the Judge Joey character as always. It's on our
YouTube channel right now. But Jamison Williams, there's a divide here.
(21:28):
A lot of people say, oh, you know, different offense
here this year might be a little bit different here
for that young man. Some people think that could be worse,
some better. Seely, what do you think? And let us
talk about the value a QB of Joe Burrow at
six p' oh one. I almost took him where I was.
He made it all the way to you at the.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Term yeah, which is absurd and like, I'm not one
for that usually goes quarterback early. But I mentioned that
other draft when you're at the sixth spot. The reason
I took him in the middle of the fourth round,
that being Burrow, and that one is because the six
spot just sucks this year. But it was this range
of wide receivers, well here being all the way in
the first pick of the sixth round, end of the
fifth round, whichever you might be. I mean, he's the
(22:04):
safest of the non running, non upside rugger guys that
aren't in the Tier one. I don't understand how he
would follow this far in most drafts. I don't think
he will, so I wouldn't put that in your home league.
He's going to have to go before there. But to
go back to Jamison william I'm not that concerned. We've
already heard from Morton that he's going to change a little,
and that might be a little bit more than we
(22:24):
see because he's saying a little for team's sake. But
all of this, Jamison is still number two. Jamison just
put up top twenty five overall MPPR numbers, not even
seeing one hundred targets, Like are we really worried that?
Like this is only a downhill? Like why can't it
also be better? So I'm all in Jameson Williams as
my three, and I can live with the ups and
downs that'll bring absolutely every single time.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yeah, I look at I'm with you.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Jacob's destroying this draft. Can I just bring that out
real quick? Jacob is just like killing this like.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
When you get to it.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
I'm so excited right now.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Well, hopefully the analysis of the back end will be
very happy for him, but he is it might I've
said it. I've said it for us to grade it,
the three of us and Jake seely. But before we
you know, I'm gonna tease Jacob's picks here because he's
so excited talk about you can tell he's leaning into it.
He's very excited right now. Uh, the fact that you know,
(23:17):
know your room, like I know these guys probably Lake
QB guys, and I'm like, I don't know if Burrow's
going to make it. Back around to me again, Kyle,
had he made a background to you, would you have
taken Joe Burrow?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Okay, so it probably already all right, fair enough, we're
all gonna be fighting over those guys. Let's get through
some more picks. Kyle's on the board right now, making
his selection. Sam Laporta goes after Joe Burrow, then Zay
Flowers at six oh three. I can hear the beeping there.
Kyle has ten seconds left. He made a selection of
David Montgomery at six h four. Uh So, let's talk
(23:46):
about the David Montgomery selection. He's your RB three. A
lot of touchdowns the last couple years from Montgomery. Can
we expect that now the third time around? Or do
you think maybe this offense looks a little different without
Engstrom and without Ben Jonson the coordinator here anymore.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
So I'm not I being a Lions fan. Clearly you
can tell everything.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
You hear the pain in his voice everybody he says
being a Lions fan.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
So I am not worried about Johnny Mooreton being the
offensive coordinator in Detroit. He was a senior offensive analyst
when Ben Johnson was a first year coordinator for Detroit
three seasons ago. Ben Johnson has said out loud, I
credit Johnny Mooreton for a lot of the things that
I did when it comes to game planning and scheming
and things like that. So I'm not nearly as worried
(24:32):
about the Detroit Lions offense now the center of the
offensive line. Yes, that is something to be a little
concerned about. That is going to affect David Montgomery way
more than it will affect Jamiir Gibbs. With Jamior Gibbs
really seeing a bulk of his carries to the outside
in space and thing of that nature. So could we
see some touchdown regression, Absolutely, But I still think we're
(24:54):
going to see the Lions in the red zone enough
that David Montgomery is still going to have a shot
and we'll just hope that the slick mullet from Georgia
can go ahead and work the center position enough for
the Lions to get in the end zone enough still.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
All right, So after Montgomery, Patrick Mahomes goes DeAndre Swift,
Joe Mixon, TJ Hawkinson. I took Stefon Diggs as my
fourth wide receiver. I love getting him as my four
because if he shows you, you know, anything close to
what he used to be there, and he looks sharp
in camp. I mean I was shocked to see him
moving so well this soon just absolutely obliterated my brain there.
(25:30):
He's really solid and Drake May I think has a
lot of talent. You have a real offensive coordinator back.
I think Stefan Diggs could have a nice little bounced
back season. Probably the best spot for him too, because
there is that need he can be the quote unquote
star guy again, which is what his diva mentality likes.
But on top of that, there's discipline because Mike Rabel's
not gonna let him get away with too much nonsense.
So I think it's the best landing spot for Stefan Diggs.
(25:51):
Chris Godwin had six', Ten Travis hunderd six to, eleven
and now we finally get To jacob, Here, pacheco And
Deebo Samuel again a lot of upside. HERE i think
we all believe that Eventually terry McLaurin will fall in
line there with the. Commanders but if he, DOESN'T i
don't know what that means For. Debo let's talk about
those two, Selections Jacob pachecko And.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Debo, well first, off With pachecko as my number. THREE
i know a lot of people got burned By pacheco last,
year but, like did we forget that he broke his?
Leg like that's like an, issue? Right you can't play
football with one leg unless it's Like MADDEN o, Five
so you're gonna, yeah. Exactly gregen is just limping down the,
sidelines you know WHAT i. Mean so he's looking great in.
(26:31):
Camp the the clips are already coming. Out he looks
like he's up to full, speed he's running angry. Again
it's still A chiefs offense, that even though it's not
what it was a couple of years, ago he's gonna
have a lot of. Opportunity Kareem hunt is basically washed
at this, point super. Inefficient so IF i can Get
pacheco as my number, Three i'm gonna take a risk
then in the seventh And i'm going With Deebo samuel
(26:52):
Because deebo's gonna enter this as a not only a,
Contract you're only got a one year, deal but he's
gonna have a little bit of a chip on his
shoulder because everybody things that he can't. Perform but now
he's going to enter A Cliff kingsbury air raid offense
where they're gonna Get hi the ball in. Space he
was like ranked outside the top eighty wide receivers and
average depth of. Target the guy was getting the ball
close to the line of scrimmage and he was having
(27:13):
to make defenders miss right. Away if they can get
him the ball further down the field and he can
make things. HAPPEN i know a lot of people are
worried about Fat debo out, there but the guy is come.
ON i, mean the guy is still in great shape
And i'm not worried about it. Whatsoever AND i get
him as my wide receiver four with the potential upside
of a top fifteen.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Guy all, Right jacob's back on the clock here for
his eighth round. Pick let me recap the rest of
the Seventh Addison Kyler. Murray THEN i Took Tony poward
as my third running. Back little stability. There guy's got
a bunch of years in a row one thousand yards
as we're talking. About if The titans are, better, well
that's a good, thing AND i can always take spears.
POTENTIALLY i guess we'll see how the draft goes to
back him up IF i Want Rollmandoonzey go's, Next Khalil,
(27:53):
Shakier Ricky piersall trendy pick, there nice selection at seven oh,
seven good. Value Evan, Ingram sorry j couldn't get him. Today,
Sorry Aaron jones and ANOTHER rb So, richardson you're building
out THAT rb. Room are you worried here at wide?
Receiver what's the? Plan you've only got three right now
and it IS.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Ppr, yep, Yep i've got plans a little bit.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Later.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
On i've got some plans later. On but WHEN, i
LIKE i said, EARLIER i don't typically go wide receiver
wide receiver to. START i liked WHAT i saw, there
SO i went with. It BUT i gotta have running.
BACKS i have to. Have so that's What i'm going
to focus on right, now and then we'll take some
shots and some guys a little bit later.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
On, okay, there you, know the confidence in your, Voice
kyle is really. Good it's either that or the day.
Quill i'm not sure which one it. Is after you
Have Aaron, jones a bit of, Both Cooper cup and
Then Caleb johnson lasting way too long at seven to.
ELEVEN i just want to put that out. There Jake
seely taking one of my favorite values To Kobe, myers
who just continues to see targets and catch them in
(28:50):
A ppr. League he is a really solid late. Investment
And Tyrone, tracy who they say is the one, now
so you must feel pretty good about, That sealy that
they've come out and said, no It's. Tracy tracy Is
tracy IF i believe, them or at least Is tracy for,
Now let's talk About myers And. Tracy So myers was.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
VALUE i was really upset With team eleven Taking Keleb
johnson right BEFORE i took. Him that was my, plan
AND i went With, tracy not so much BECAUSE i
really Wanted, tracy but it was kind of a toss
up with a few. Others AND i wanted to talk
About tracy because you, Know i've been doing this show
with you for the past three four months with debro
Big scataboo, fan AND i still think it was going
to Be. Scataboo it's the injury that opens things, up
(29:28):
and not so much the fact, that, oh it's always
Been tracy is the, guy because we talk about it a.
Lot in the fact That tracy. Fumbled tracy was a
surprise to some people in fantasy and people who didn't
know him coming from, college AND i think that clouded
people is, like, oh we found this. Guy we had
no idea he was supposed to be that. Good not
also understanding That tracy is just he's kind of a really,
good complimentary, piece and that's not necessarily saying, like, Oh tracy.
(29:50):
STINKS i just Think scataboo brings more between the, tackles
but also his passing upside that it was going to
be more of a fifty five to forty five split Two.
Scataboo but that's WHY i brought Up tracy here is
because that injury is going to set him. Back SO
i think That's kataboo is now more of a second
half of the season to watch out, for and that's
WHY i went with. It but, Yes Jacoby myers is
just value at that. Point we saw it last. Year
(30:12):
another guy is probably walking into one hundred and twenty
targets again because Really Trey tucker doant To, thorton WHO
i think is, nice but it's just a bunch of
guys Behind bowers And. Myers.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
YEAH i don't love the hamstring issue For, Scattaboo so
we gotta be careful with his, mentality LIKE i gotta
get right back On, Well i'm going to get right
back on the. Field looks like he might have reinjured it.
Already that's not the greatest. Scenario, again that's the plus
and minus of that crazy football mentality he. Has but
maybe He's kataboo In jake's, opinion at least a little
bit better of a trade target than a draft target at.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Him oh come, On, Kyle SO i just saw the.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Draft, uh here we. Go Baker mayfield goes eight oh,
Two travis eighteen at eight oh, three WHO i got
super late on The Saturday flex. Draft go look in
Go Fallow flex drafts and look at all those two
some big time experts in, there some really interesting stuff
and Super flex and in the regular one as. Well
rich you did take YOUR qb in, here you had a?
Plan did you execute what you want? To hear at
(31:04):
AIGHT o four and.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Bon, NICKS i actually.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
DIDN'T i there was somebody else THAT i was going
to go with a little bit, later but THEN i
was looking at the board and HOW i wanted to
go ahead and, draft And nix was still. There AND
i still like the. UPSIDE i, mean they've obviously kind
of retailored the running back room there In, denver So
i'll be interesting with. R. J harvey what they really
end up wanting to do there this. Season but with Bo,
(31:26):
NIX i, SAID i mean he's got a little bit
of rushing. Upside he's going to run the ball a little,
bit probably score some touchdowns on the. Ground, obviously it's
still going to be an offense that's going to throw
the ball quite a bit so at eight oh, FOUR i,
said you know, what why not let's go ahead and
go with Bon nicks BECAUSE i like his upside a
little bit more than someone. ELSE i was going to
go with, there all.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Right so quarterbacks starting to fly here in the eighth, Round,
baker then you Took, Bonnicks Jaden reid, Goes Josh, Allens Juwan,
jennings Then Justin fields goes right before. Me So i'll
settle For Dak, prescott a guy who is not a
stranger to a top FIVE qb, finish AND i don't
love the running back. Room so it looks like we're
going to throw a, lot and who, knows If Micah
parsons get, straighted we might throw a ton this. Year
Quinchawn judkins, goes Then Brian. Robinson nice. Value at eight, Eleven,
(32:07):
jacob you went tight end and wide, Receiver david And
joku and A mecca Eg.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Buka well one hundred percent was going to Take Dak
prescott until you, did SO i kind of had to
pivot there a little. Bit that's WHERE i was gonna.
Go love myself Some. Dak this, Year dak was a
top five fantasy quarterback with Just Ceedee. Lamb now he
Gets George, pickens it could happen. Again SO i kind
of went a little different. Direction david And joku is
still sitting. There we've seen as of right now That
Joe flacco seems to be the leader in that quarterback
(32:34):
room In. Cleveland we've Seen flaku And ndjoku before and
they produced in the. Past there's not a lot of
options in that. Offense we've Got Jerry. Judy the running
game is kind of like if he at, times you
know what's gonna happen with Quin Shawn. Judkins SO i
went with the big play tight end In david And,
joku and THEN i came back with my favorite rookie
wide receiver this, year A Meccha. ABUKA i love what
(32:55):
they're talking about him in. Camp baker seems to love.
Him they can put him, inside they can put him.
Outside Chris godwin is not one hundred percent, healthy and
a lot of the medical opinions That i've seen say
that once he does come, back he's going to be
a show of. Himself plus also has a higher risk
of re. Injury SO i don't want to deal with
that the way That abuka can be moved around AND
i can have him as my wide. Receiver five kind
(33:16):
of gives me a little bit of potential upside mid
to late.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Season great breakdown, There jacob excellent. Stuff Jalen warren goes.
Next then At, BRANDAU i Took Mark andrews as my
tight enit nine oh four Than, Scataboo Javonte, Williams Naji
harris finally off the. Board Michael Pittman. Kyle he Took
Travis kelcey so In, Djoku Mark andrews both go ahead Of.
Kelsey kelsey falls to. YOU i know you're on the clock,
here SO i won't make it stay too long. Here
(33:39):
i'll let you make your.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Selection but while to give anything, away But seely just
took both of my next.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
PICK i saw his.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
Face did you not see me start? SMILING i Saw
kyle's face And i'm, like, YES i got him.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Back and While kyle is thinking about his, PICK i
want you to think about how much fun you're having
and watching us on YouTube and SAY i want even
more of. This, well guess what you can get it
over on, Twitch twitch dot Tv Slash Fantasy. Pros that's

we Got seth on, There debro, Myself torell's on their

that you know and love and maybe just tolerate like.
Me so let's get To kyle's tilt moment here After Travis,
(34:55):
Kelcey Jordan mason.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
GOES.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Jk dobbins, Goes i'll Let kyle make his. Pick Jake
seely take Bigsby Matthew golden. HERE i was Hoping golden
would slip a little bit, further he did. Not sealy
continues to take all the guys THAT i, think Maybe
i'll let one more round, go BUT i keep Forgetting
i'm in this draft With.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
Jake, yeah, yeah i have a lot Of Matthew. Golden
i'm going to continue to have a lot Of matthew
gold and stepping into The, okay If Christian watson could
ever stay, healthy what could? Happen and we'll get the
answer With Matthew. Golden BUT i actually think he's more
of a complete wide receiver than we've seen From. WATSON
i Think dobbs might take some of those downfield plays.
Anyway but that being, said stepping in is the. One
this is a team that wants to get back to
(35:32):
passing a little bit, more and even if they, don't
still be in the one with, again talking to that
one hundred and twenty target range that we keep bringing,
UP i think we're looking at somebody who has top
twenty five upside and he's not even somebody THAT i
need to put in my, lineup LIKE i can be
patient with, him and that's WHY i like. It The
bigsby is a very simple answer is we're taking shots
at who it might be For, cohen and if it
Is bigsby and we're hearing about him so, far we
(35:54):
know THAT etm was amazing the first half two years.
Ago and if it's NOT, etn and it, is even
though he's not going to catch a, LOT i think
i'd still be okay with him, again somebody THAT i
don't need to. Start it could be patient to see
if he does win the. Job he's a bench.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Piece, okay all, Right so was It Matthew Golden? Kyle
that really it was bold in your gears? There it
was both of them And.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Golden, YEAH i was gonna.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
Go when you sniped me with one, PLAYER i always
get you back with. Two that's why it.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Works well's back on the clock.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Again.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Now every time we go To kyle to, talk he's
on the. Clock SO i feel guilty.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Here, YEAH i didn't feel great about getting sniped.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
There that's, okay.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
THOUGH I i'm Making i'm making some.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Making, Move make you, move make your pick. Here, see
everybody thinks it's so, easy Like i'm making, Picks i'm
doing Res i'm doing all these things. Right, oh it's
easy to draft the. Team, see it's not so easy. Everybody, Uh,
kyle let's look at your last couple of, Picks Travis
Kelsey Trey. Benson here the last two because After golden,
Went sharbonne Orshad white. Went so we'll talk about those
two here Of kelsey And benson, again you, know just looking,
(36:57):
Ahead James, connor a lot of, age a lot of
wear and. Tail here is this the year finally where
we keep saying at some point this gravy train's gonna?
End is it twenty twenty?
Speaker 3 (37:05):
FIVE i think it could.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
Be and that's WHY i like people are AND i
see it in our comment section all the. TIME i
Love James. CONNOR i want to Draft James. Connor why
don't you Love? James And i'm, LIKE i don't Love
James connor BECAUSE i like him a lot coming off
the season he had last. YEAR i think he's definitely
in consideration to be drafted where he currently. Is but
if you're gonna Take James, connor you gotta Take Trey
benson in case something. Happens because like taking a look
(37:30):
at just the underlying like efficiency numbers last year For Trey,
benson there's some things that pop up that you look
at and, say this kid could be really good if
he gets a, shot and he could be one of
those guys this year that if you don't already have
him on your roster or whatever, it's it's gonna be
a problem later on If connor goes.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Down, okay after that selection Of, Benson Rashid, Shaheed Ramandra,
stevenson ten oh Seven rome, four then ten oh Eight Austin,
ECKLER i Took Taji spears AND i got the Whole
tennessee backfield just in. Case so at LEAST i Know
i've invested in something THAT i think is going to be.
There rookie running a rookie, quarterback you want to make
sure you back him up with a run.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Game.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
There Darnol mooney goes, next Then Jayden. Higgins man oh,
MAN i can't catch a. Break this is WHY i
prefer the. Turns at LEAST i can Control Mail Deciny,
jacob the pivot at, Quarterback Caleb williams And Isaac, garrendo
let's talk about.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
Him, Okay So Caleb williams scares, Me but the potential
upside is there right the improved offensive. Line they made
a lot of changes here this, offseason bringing in through
three new offensive. Linemen we Got Ben johnson going. There
we Got Roma, Dunsa Dj, Moore Luther, Burden Colston levelin Cole,
commate we got weapons all over the. PLACE i know
(38:39):
that people see some camp stuff right now of him
struggling and making stupid, plays But i'll never forget an,
interview AND i WISH i could remember the player it
was a few years ago they talked about during. Camp
they're doing things differently, Right they're learning new, offenses they're
seeing what works and what doesn't. Work AND i always
remember that BECAUSE i don't want to take into account
What i'm seeing just this offseason and write a player
(38:59):
off for the entire. Year Caleb williams has everything on
paper to put together a good fantasy. SEASON i don't
care if The bears go oh on to. Seventeen he
can put up some fantasy. Points and THEN i came
back in the eleventh With Isaac garendo just SO i
could mess With team. EIGHT i, think who Has christian,
McCaffrey because if they need him later, on they're going
to be coming To daddy for a, trade and at
that POINT i get WHATEVER i may. Need at that,
(39:21):
Point Isaac greendo is Somebody i'm trying to get in
almost every one of my drafts without reaching because it's
like the ultimate trade, piece, right everybody's so worried ABOUT. Cmc,
well if you're worried about, It girndo's a guy that's
probably gonna get the touches IF cmc were to go.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
Down and IF i can't let you in just a
little sneak peek behind the. Scenes jake calls himself daddy
all the.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
Time that's not so, much not only to league nates
who irritate.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
Me oh there you, go there you have it, Everybody but, yeah,
Look i'm with. You the draft is were taking, assets,
right the best asset you. Can don't just fill out your,
roster take the best players. Available you can do what
The ravens do in the real, draft and every you're
gonna be a. Contender just take the best. Players that's
how to go. There all, right let's continue on here
with the draft. Board after those lections Of williams And, Garndo, Coaston,
(40:08):
Lovelin Tucker, CRAFT i Took Christian kirk as my fifth wide,
Receiver jaden Blue key On, Coleman, Basiel, Tuton Ray davis
To Mario douglas a guy getting a lot of buzzing.
Camp we're gonna play that slot. Role that's a very
valuable role in The patriot McDaniels offense and in fantasy as. Well, So,
KYLE i really like the selection here Of. DOUGLAS i
was surprised that he went as soon as he has
(40:30):
because he's been a guy really suppressed in a lot OF.
Adp do you think that's gonna change over the next two.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
WEEKS i think it.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Could if the reports out of the camp continue to show
what they have, been then people are going to start.
Listening but, yeah he's gonna be a guy, that even
if he doesn't have like a ton of big, playability
doesn't score a ton of touchdowns in A ppr league
and a three wide receiver start, category like you got
to throw him in every once in a. WHILE i
think you're gonna get enough targets for him that you're
(40:56):
just you're not gonna hate the day that you get
from him if you've got to play for some.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Reason After, Douglas Nick, Chubb Braylan, allen and Then Jake
seely up for two, Picks Jalen wright And Keenan. Allen
so let's talk about. Right, obviously he knows the backup
to devon A chan if something goes awry, There but
there's been room for other running backs to work In
mike McDaniel offense as, before And Keenan allen recently rejoined
with The. Chargers so how does he fit into that?
(41:21):
Equation how the tree hat versus.
Speaker 4 (41:22):
Here, Yeah Jalen wright could HAVE rb three value and
it wouldn't be a shock to any of us to
have that. Usage but even if he, doesn't worst case
is his game is so similar to A chan that's
something were to happen to A. CHAN i think we're
seeing the upside. There like we were excited For Jalen
wright last. Year everybody, was and then he had a
disappointing rookie. Season it's so funny that everybody's just, like
well he's, done write him, off move, On AND i
(41:43):
think that's gonna be a. Mistake so to get right
here you and we're talking about high upside bench. Pieces
that's WHY i took, him and The Keenan allen pick
is JUST i, mean look at what he was able
to piece together last. Year and, YES i don't Think
he's The Keelan allen that we ever was. Before But
i've been taking a lot Of Trey, harris and, UNFORTUNATELY
i Think Keenan allen now steps into number. Two and
the worst part about it is that you Have harris
(42:04):
Battling Quinton johnston to be the three on that outside.
Piece SO i think That Keenan, allen you, Look i'm
not super, excited AND i move on from. Him he's
gonna be the first PERSON i cut if it doesn't
happen in the first two or three, weeks he will
be the first person that goes for a waiver wire.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
Piece, well, Ironically Trey harris goes with the very next
saw at twelve oho, Two so that's kind of ironic and.
Fun but, again draft, boards rankings are all being adjusted
right now In fantasypros Dot. Com look at THE, ecr
look at the. Adjustments when these news things happen and
everything breaks, Here Keyan allen. Back. Look allen goes, Up
harris goes, down and you can see right now both
(42:39):
ADP's right here in this draft back to. Back why
because we don't know how it's gonna work out quite.
Yet Marquis brown Goes Wandel robbins another target hog. THERE
i love what you're doing, Here, kyle so you can
count the running back position into. Oblivion and then you
turned around and you decided to take all these guys
who just get a ton of targets here and Just
(43:00):
nikki to death In douglas And wandale, Yep.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
And those are guys, that, again IF i need to
fit in as my wide receiver three in any given a,
Week they're probably not gonna win my week for, me
but it's also going to keep me in contention with
some of those higher upside plays That i'm working.
Speaker 3 (43:15):
With, so, yeah we're having a talk after, This, Kyle
we're having a.
Speaker 2 (43:18):
TALK i would HAVE i would have much rather Had Matthew.
GOLDEN i can say that over either of those.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
Guys oh that's fit. NOW i would also say to,
You hubman That wandell probably was not making it back to.
YOU i would have taken, him so at.
Speaker 3 (43:30):
LEAST i live with. You kyle watches all my he's
noses on all my. Videos i've been talking about six, Months,
kyle Did that's.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
TRUE i just got sniped By.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
Celia, Yeah Dylan, Samson Simmary tilman goes to twelve oh,
six twelve oh, Seven Rico, Dwell Luthor burn AND i
Took Rashad bateman at twelve oh, nine Then Tyler, Algier
blake Koram H hubman taking a shot, lately that sexy pick,
There Kyle, pitts who knows what it might, be and
Then Josh, palmer who maybe he's a useful receiver for The,
bills maybe, not but at this, value As seely was saying,
(44:01):
before you could just cut him.
Speaker 3 (44:02):
YEP i, mean did you know that he was only
like one hundred yards in one touchdown away from being
a top ten tight end last year and everybody thinks he,
sucks and he does.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
SUCK i. Agree the hate For Kyle pitts has gone too.
FAR i was the guy at the front telling everybody
to slow down when he was With. Mariota my. Guy,
yeah For sureerda is. Awful you need to slow the
hell down here with this. ROLE i know he's a great,
talent but you have to have quarterbacks to. Execute now
it's gone so far the other. DIRECTION i think he's
a value the same way you.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
Do, yeah And i'm not gonna pass it at that.
Point he's my second tight, end and if he does
pop off and The Darnell moody starts the season less
than one hundred, percent he sees added targets in the.
Slot i'll see what happens with. That for. Sure that's jumping.
Speaker 4 (44:40):
In that's the key THAT i think a lot of
people missing drafts, too is imagine If Kyle pitts starts
off like gangbusters in two or three, Games you're gonna
have such a trade chip because if people immediately are
gonna go crazy like my, pick And i'm, Not but
Like Brenton strange has two or three great games to
start the, Season it's not like people are gonna be,
like oh my, GOD i need to trade For Brenton.
Strange If Kyle pitts does, it people are gonna go.
Speaker 1 (44:59):
Nuts. Absolutely after The Josh palmer, Selection john Hus Smith Roshawn,
JOHNSON i Took Marvin, mims building out that receiver depth
With Kirk bateman And. Mims Then Justin herbert goes at
thirteen oh, Five Adam, Feelen Zach, moss who's unsigned, Currently
we'll see where he. Lands Tyler, Warren Jake. Ferguson So
ferguson is the backup To. Kelsey this seems wise to, Me,
(45:20):
kyle because the age Of kelsey and the decline is.
There it's obvious when you watch him. Play we can
also talk about his performance And Happy gilmore, too but
that's gonna upset the YouTube audience because that was the last.
Show so if you want to see The, rebus you
go back and watch that. ONE i haven't seen it,
yet sort of, seeing but it's not. Great Jake ferguson
obviously another guy too that has some fantasy value, there
(45:41):
especially if The kelsey decline becomes something more. Precipitous.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
YEAH i mean For kelsey to come back at his
age With Taylor swift waiting at, home for him to
come hang, Out Patrick mahomes and him have to be
on the same, Page, like there has to be something
for him to be, like, yep we're gonna move. Forward,
worse it's this. Offense you're gonna be a. Target you're
still my. Guy, LIKE i feel like that conversation had
(46:05):
to have happened at some point in, time but like you, said,
age whatever may else.
Speaker 3 (46:11):
Happen.
Speaker 2 (46:12):
NOW i Got Jake ferguson THAT i can toss in,
there WHO i really like in terms of a lot of.
THOUGH i, mean people are gonna pay attention To pickens
down the. Field they're gonna pay attention To Ceedee lamb,
Obviously Jake ferguson's gonna have the middle of the field
to just kind of hang. Out he's gonna see some
targets down. There and, again another safe guy THAT i
can throw in IF i need to If kelsey doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (46:31):
Out i'm glad you brought that up BECAUSE i think
a lot of people write Off ferguson, because, well you
Got pickens. There But i'm not writing Off ferguson BECAUSE
i don't love the running back room AND i think
that the intermediate way that you move the football is
going to be with guys Like. Ferguson, like to, me
that's that's how The cowboys are gonna have to. Look
it might be a lot, of you, know throwing the
ball forty times a game kind of, thing but that's
(46:52):
that's okay by me and, fantasy especially SINCE i Drafted
deck in this. One julia, McLoughlin Dalton, kincaid and then
seely Took Taj brooks And Brenton, strange much to the
chagrin of the. Boys here so, seally let's talk about
your final two picks on the.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
Boards brooks was the one THAT i don't.
Speaker 4 (47:07):
Think so stranger he brought up like that was my
flyer at tight, end just potentially being the third piece
in The cohen offense After hunter And. Thomas. POTENTIALLY i
was actually going to Say, ferguson BUT i didn't think
that he would take a second that Being kyle And
ferguson shouldn't be going that, late to be. Fair But
i'm laughing BECAUSE i was going back and forth Between
(47:28):
giddons And brooks BECAUSE i think there were two of
the better overlooked, backups AND i, said you know, What
i'm just gonna Take brooks to be that guy and
messed With jacob and THEN i saw that it also
screwed Over kyle at the same. Time so like that
made me feel doubly, good LIKE i. Could BUT i
Think brooks And giddons need to be in the same.
Conversation Is brooks is very similar To Chase. BROWN i
think If Chase brown, foalters it gets, Hurts brooks steps
in and Then. Giddings you, Know i've been bringing this.
(47:50):
UP i think has some similarities To David montgomery type of,
production a little underrated as a pass, catcher kind of
that one cut. Runner AND i think if, Look Jonathan
taylor has been hurt every year the past three, years
and nobody talks about. That if something, HAPPENS i think
getting his steps in.
Speaker 1 (48:04):
All of a, sudden the daddy aura has changed from
One jake to. Another now all of a, sudden you'll
have to go to him and call him. Daddy SO
i just love when that. Happens so after that selection
there the final rounds we're looking at here the last
one after, Strange Jared, Goff Jack, Besh kyle, TOOK Dj,
giddons the Aforementioned Quentin, Johnson Xavier, Lagett Kareem, Hunt Hunter,
(48:25):
henry and THEN i am back on this year's between
two guys to, me DO i want to take the
salty old? Veteran where DO i want to take the
young Kid Kyle.
Speaker 4 (48:33):
Williams you, know.
Speaker 1 (48:34):
My dad used to say youth and skill is no
match for old agent. Treachery BUT i think in this,
One i'm gonna go ahead and Take Kyle. Williams that
is the that was the kid THAT i was referring.
To there still on the board, There, Sealy so you're not.
Wrong all, Right, jacob you have the last selection. Here
let's wrap things up After Kyle, Williams Darren, Waller Jalen,
coker and then mister irrelevant to Mister. Hubman.
Speaker 3 (48:54):
YEAH i, MEAN i don't ever take two, quarterbacks And
i'm not going to, here but IF i was ever going,
to it would probably be in this. Situation IF i
don't Trust Caleb, Williams i'm not going through you.
Speaker 1 (49:03):
Should i'll be honest with. YOU i think you.
Speaker 3 (49:05):
Should SHOULD i just say? SHOULD i say just forget? It,
fine you know. What that's HOW i.
Speaker 1 (49:08):
Mean i'm just, saying tell, us the two guys you're talking,
about you got like a couple of seconds. LEFT i,
mean IF i Had caleb in a SINGLE, Qb you're,
right there's there's. Potential all of it's. Great so also
the Potentially Caleb williams is one of these guys would
look back on and, GO i can't believe they took
him Over Jaydon. DANIELS i already said that during the
draft last, year BUT i feel LIKE i might say
that ten years from.
Speaker 3 (49:26):
Now, well all this go, ahead And i'll just Take
Drake may then Because drake may or SOMEBODY i think
in a new offense With josh McDaniels back In New,
england he got some. Weapons you Mentioned Stefon diggs earlier
looking a lot better than what we had planned. Him
i'm looking at this point of the off, season let
me get some upside Of drake, man just see what
happens and just to kind of go all in on
quarterback and just shoot for the. Upside who was the
(49:47):
other guy you were? Considering, well What Kyle williams was
on my. List he was in my queue and then
he was not in my cue after your. PICK i
was actually kind of thinking About Kyle Morning guy In
chicago as.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
GUY i love. Too SO i MEAN i was, thinking
AND i should you AN nffc, together like it feels
like we see the board very. Similar, YEAH i, Mean i'm.
Speaker 3 (50:05):
Trying to find guys that have that are one injury
away from a solid workload on a decent, offense and
he would have fit.
Speaker 1 (50:10):
That i'm with, you all, Right let's get to the
tail of. Tape see how we. Did oh what's? This
could it? Be? Oh my? God from the four? Spots, Yeah,
HEY i told, YOU i said it to grade using
the rankings Of Kyle, Richardson Jacob, Hubman Jake, seally and
you guys must really just love. Me at the end
of the, DAY i won the draft while doing reads
(50:32):
and pausing a million times For sealy and then all
the other stuff they're going. On team two was in second,
Place Kyle richardson in. Third well, Done kyle See maybe
That Molik neighbors pick after all turned out to be
a good. Thing, Yeah Jacob hubman at, SIX i think
that's a little. UNFAIR i think it was. Better Jake
seely right on his heels at. Seven we can take
(50:52):
a look, through and you guys can click. Through one
of the great things here about when you run your,
simulations you get to look at the expert, opinions the,
steals the pick, analysis the team's strengths and. Weaknesses all
that is here for you to break it down on
your box so you can go in and feel prepared for.
Me it, says IF i had Drafted Joe, BURROW i
KNOW i had thought about, it And Jake seely didn't
let me do, IT i would have been even. Better
(51:13):
BUT i never, know, like you, know do that and
really embarrass. Everybody The bye weeks are gonna be tough for.
Me sure that's, fair BUT i don't care about Buye
week's sleeper. Alerts for. ME i Got, Dak Marvin, mims
And Kyle. Williams it, said the steal of my team
Was Kyle. Williams and let's see if there's any expert
opinions here that are. Positive, oh you know who liked
my draft more than anybody? Else? ME a? Plus what
(51:34):
a shock a. Shot, pianowski, though who is a tough
Great let me tell, You pianowski one of the best
in the. BUSINESS i got AN a plus From. PIANOWSKI
i don't Think i've ever seen that in baseball or football.
Ever people hate my, draft well they can go. Screw
let's talk about some Of Jake seely's. Here since he's
bringing up the, rear let's take a look who liked
your draft and hated?
Speaker 4 (51:54):
It jake, So Kevin, Steele Chris, Dell Roger. Byfield there
were some really smart guys on that side of. THINGS
i have to, Say Brandon, Murchison Joe, RICO i don't, KNOW.
Speaker 3 (52:05):
I don't Know Joe.
Speaker 1 (52:06):
Rico, Yeah Joe rico's.
Speaker 4 (52:07):
GREAT i, see there you. Go that's the smart. People
this is. SMART i guess if you guys were, smart
you see your names there.
Speaker 1 (52:13):
Too there you. Go let's run Through jake's roster, here
which IS i think very. Good Joe burrow followed By
Derrick henry Ken, walker really solid tandem at the running back.
Position and then look at this wide receiver Corps Brian,
Thomas Davante, Adams Jamison Williams strange as the tight end
and maybe that hurts you a little. Bit maybe tight
end got away from. You Matthew golden at the. Flex
(52:33):
Then Jacoby, Myers, Tyrone Tracy, Tank, Bigsby Jalen, Wright, keenan
Now On TODs. Brooks this is the way to do.
It from the twelve. Turn everybody take a good, look
take a. PICTURE i think this should be top five
and then the. Rankings to be honest with, You, jake
but break down your. Roster where to go, right where
to go? Wrong for?
Speaker 4 (52:47):
You, yeah and only honest suggestions to make my team.
Better have taking Out Keenan. ALLEN i think that's just
part of the fact that there hasn't been. Adjustment it just.
Happened so that's going to be affecting the. Roster BUT
i think it went right pretty much for how it
expected to be from the twelve. TURN i wasn't expecting
to Get Joe. BURROW i think having that is huge
as a. VALUE i would have been happy to wait on.
Quarterback but similar you, said this strange killing me IS
(53:08):
i approach quarterback the same WAY i approach tight. End
IF i don't get the top, Tier i'm waiting until
the endgame And i'm taking. FLYERS i would have taken
like The ferguson, pick or if, quarterback as mentioned When
jacob brought it, up we still Had purty And love
and others still on the. BOARD i don't think that'll
be in the case for most of the people watching their.
Draft those we're gonna get quarterbacks, deeper so they should
not have still been. There but to Have jamison is
(53:30):
my three With golden in my. FLEX i know there's
some volatility, there but when they're the three and four
and not you're two and, three you can live with the.
UPSIDE i mean those are players that could you, know
oh they got me twenty, points helped me win this.
Week but because the roster construction is walker with my
second running, BACK i could absorb those down, weeks and
then AS i preach and preach and. Preach you know, This,
joan And i'm pretty sure everybody here is going to.
(53:51):
Agree my bench doesn't have guys that, like, oh he
can fill in for me for week. FIVE i don't
care like you find those guys all the. TIME i
want people who could betake actually turn into top twenty
five players at running back and wide. Receiver, Otherwise i'm
not rostering you outside of LIKE i, Said Keenan, ALLEN
i just you, know maybe things get right With Justin,
herbert but Like i'll move. ON i brought it up
with that. Pick i'll move on if it's not happening
(54:11):
in the first two or three.
Speaker 1 (54:12):
Weeks, kyle since most of your favorite players are On sealy's,
team what would you give as a? GRADE i, MEAN
i like his.
Speaker 2 (54:19):
Team LIKE i, said he Stole bigsby from, Me he's
still golden for. Me he Stole brooks at the, END
i Thought Jamison williams was a fantastic. Pick SO i,
MEAN i really like his. TEAM i think my team
is way too safe If i'm being, honest Like i'm
sitting If i'm sitting here looking at. It i'm, like you,
know there's some upside there with neighbors In london And,
smith BUT i Think kamara And connor And, MONTGOMERY i
(54:42):
think it's just a little too. Safe and IF i
could have redone, anything it would have been That Travis kelce.
PICK i would have bumped That Travis kelsey pick out
AND i would have went With golden Or bigsby. First
the other one probably still would not have made it to,
me BUT i would have felt a lot better about
my team and its upside HAD i nailed one of
those picks a little bit.
Speaker 1 (55:00):
Later, WELL i mean it's a solid roster Bo nix at,
Quarterback Alvin, Kamara James, connor Than Malik, Neighbors Drake, london what, incredible.
Speaker 4 (55:08):
DUDE i know we didn't want, neighbors but you have
over three hundred targets with two hundred.
Speaker 1 (55:12):
Receivers, YEAH i, MEAN i think it'd being a little
tough on yourself, Here, London DeVonta smith. Terrific, yes you
do Have, kelsey but you also Have ferguson there for the.
Backup but, obviously as you, said you Got ferguson you
could live with, Him so that is where you go.
On but that's the nice thing about, This AS i,
said you can undo. Picks you, know when you're doing
your mock draft simulate you're, like, OH i like the
way this roster is looking, Now i'm gonna. Undo i'm
gonna redo. It same spot in the draft. Order After,
(55:35):
kelsey you Have montgomery in the, Flex Aaron jones And
Ferguson Wandale Trey benson To Mario, DOUGLAS Dj, Giddens, hubman
what did you think of your co host's draft? Here it's.
Speaker 3 (55:46):
HORRIBLE i, mean, obviously obviously we talked to each other
like every single, day so we have a lot of
similar opinions on. People AND i mentioned it at the
very beginning of the. Show you can't score fantasy points
if you don't get it, touches and he racked up
the opportunity for a ton of, touches which in turn
(56:06):
turns in fantasy. Points SO i mean it makes makes.
SENSE i, MEAN i know we're both early running back
guys for the most, part but if you're gonna go
the other, direction that's not a bad way to do, it.
Speaker 1 (56:16):
All, Right, well let's look at the way you did,
It jacob from the one, Spot Kayla, Williams Karen. Williams,
though that's that's. It i'm SORRY i couldn't let you
get that Third. Williams it's like That infinity gault let
like only two for.
Speaker 3 (56:27):
You SO i got double chases too, Though so it's.
Speaker 1 (56:29):
Okay you did get up what you Got Chase. Brown
everybody's Chasing williams on your. Team Karen, Williams Chase, brown
Then Jamar, Chase George, Pickens, Deebo samuel very nice, There
david And, Joku Calvin ridley at The flex. Terrific then
you've Got pacheco At, Buka drake May Garando, Pitts. Palmer
what a bench you've built out, Here.
Speaker 3 (56:48):
JACOB i feel AND i totally agree with What jake
said earlier ABOUT i don't care about the bench because
you figure it out as you go. Along one hundred
percent agree with. That BUT i do feel LIKE i
have some guys THAT i can count on for the
low as. Well but also there are some guys in
there Like Kyle pitts A grendo as, Well LIKE i
got trade pieces potentially, too if they pop off early
or if something, HAPPENS i can make a move for
(57:09):
a piece that is underperforming in my lineup at that.
Time and so When i'm building teams Like i'm kind
of thinking that way OF i don't want to have
like a. BUNCH i don't want everybody's handcuffs on my
bench Because i'm just wasting. Spots but IF i can
pick a few of the top guys here or there
THAT i, like and if they can produce, early can
really benefit my overall. TEAM i, mean who's to say
THAT i couldn't Turn Calvin ridley And Isaac grendo into
(57:31):
a top tier wide, receiver you, know if THE cmc
owner needs. It, now all of a, Sudden i've increased
my potential flex. Output so, OVERALL i love the. TEAM
i know a lot of people don't Love. DEBO i
probably got knocked a little bit for Taking Drake may
at the very end as, well but that's, okay that's
not a big room. No BUT i, mean, overall up,
(57:51):
THERE i would take this team ten out of ten
times in any.
Speaker 1 (57:54):
LEAGUE i agree with, You, kyle what did you think
Of jacob's? Team be, Honest i'll be.
Speaker 2 (57:59):
Nicer i'll SAY i didn't Hate it's. Bad NOW i
think whenever you get the first overall, pick and you
obviously can start With, Jamar chase AND ppr and then
still rack up the amount of potential and touch as
you can at the end of round, two the start
of round three With Chase brown And Kien. Williams you're
already off to such a really good start that you
can mess around with some things the rest of the,
(58:21):
way and then you get the upside Of ridley And
pickens after. That, like that's a heck of a start
the first five rounds of the. Draft that's that's nailing
it from the one.
Speaker 1 (58:28):
Spot all, right let's run through my roster and then
we'll call it a. Day Here Dak, prescott A. Qb
two rookie running BACKS R. J harvey and o'mary And.
Hampton then we Have Justin, Jefferson lad, McConkie Garrett. Wilson
three number, ones boys and. Girls that's how you do.
It they want to talk about relative position value in
The Black book all the. Time three number. ONES i
got a, NUMBER i got one of the one. ONES
i got a one at number two and a one
(58:50):
at number. THREE i. Love that makes me very. Happy
Mark andrews at tight end And Tony pollard also Have
Tajy spears on this team as. Well we've Got Stefan
diggs right now at The we've Got Christian, Kirk Kyle,
Williams Rashaw, Bateman Marvin, Mims Junior Jake. Sealey give me
your take on this. Roster since it didn't say that
you loved my draft or hated, it where did you
land on? It?
Speaker 4 (59:10):
SEALLY i think it's actually pretty. Solid the only Thing
i'd swap out Is harvey For connor in a. Heartbeat
mostly it's not even the fact THAT i have hate For.
Connor it's JUST i don't necessarily believe that it's going
to be his backfield this, season and maybe it, is
maybe at the end of the, year BUT i do
Believe dobbins is going to be more of a. THORN
i was actually surprised how far apart they have been
in drafts so, far and we've already heard That dobbins, says, look,
(59:32):
look he didn't look amazing last, year But James connor
is IN rb one when he's. Healthy that's WHY i
would do the, swap BECAUSE i know we'd be shocked
if he plays fifteen games. Again but at that, point
like you have somebody who's putting UP rb one numbers
for as long as that might, be and then you
still have spears and pollering in case that shakes out
a different. Way so outside of, THAT i actually Thought
Mark andrews is a really nice value back at tight
(59:52):
end when people were kind of fading. Him but with
the likely, injury that's just going to open things up for.
That and Then Dak, prescott you AND i have already talked,
about is a great bounce back. Candidate SO i think
it's a very Like the biggest thing is you haven't
advantage to be able to make up for those other
issues Because Garrett, wilson WHILE i don't think he's a fantasy,
one he's probably the best third wide receiver in this.
Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
Draft there you. Go so you got a good look,
here how to draft from the, one how to draft
from the early selections here at me at. Four then
you've got the back end here at nine and. Twelve
great stuff. Here what an incredible fun draft this. WAS
i want to thank The headliners for joining us with
this fun crossover episode giving us their. Time jacob go
plug the YouTube. Channel everything you guys got going over
(01:00:34):

a week. Now once the season kicks, off we're thirteen.
Plus SO i mean we got everything you. Need similar
to you, guys, RIGHT i mean it's a lot of
breaking down analytics and just trying to look at the
game a different way and have fun while doing. IT

is it's like you're sitting down at a table or
at a bar with your buddies talking, football, Right and
(01:00:59):
that's when we try to come across as is just
normal dudes just talking football with the. People so, absolutely
