(00:22):
I know you plan to be joiningmy son, Eat Sleep Fantasy, Jack,
Eat Sleep Fantasy, Eat Sleep Fantasyfive four three. What's up,
everybody. This is Clayton here fromEat Sleep Fantasy. I told you earlier
(00:46):
this week that I will be doinga solo show, um solo mock draft,
probably like seven to nine round mockdraft here for you guys, going
solo. Obviously, quality is muchbetter than that shit you listened to earlier
on this week. With that theone and the only Dale DeMott did,
I saved you guys, though,you know what. Number one, we
(01:07):
don't have to listen to his obnoxiousvoice for a day. I don't have
to look at him through this camera. And number two, we got good
quality here, so you know,I still don't understand why this guy does
not have decent quality. All themoney that comes into this podcast. He
tries to tell you, guys,that goes back to you know, to
the fans, to the listeners,but let's be realistic, definitely not happening.
(01:30):
He can't even buy a fucking mikefor god's sakes. I wonder what
he's doing with all his money buyinghot dogs or something. But onto the
show. Here, we're going todo a quick mock draft here. If
you guys haven't already heard, orif this is your first time, fantracks
dot com is the place to gofor your your mocks. This year,
they have done a fantastic job updatingtheir site and making a very user friendly
(01:55):
for everybody. The graphics are fantastic, so please head over there and start
mocking over there, because I mean, you can mock on them pretty much
on the hour. There's tons ofthem. I'll open for open to the
public and stuff like that, Sohead over there do that. I happen
to be doing one right now.I'm just going to get started here.
(02:15):
And what I think I'll do isI'll just go, like I said,
seven to nine round mock draft.I'll touch on why I'm picking who I'm
picking. I'll let you guys knowwho went before and after, so on
and so forth, just the standardmock draft episode to keep you guys.
It's kind of aware kind of wherewe are, where I am as far
as when I do my mocks,the strategy that I do use. I
have been playing with it a littlebit this year as of late, so
(02:38):
just trying to figure find something.I thought, So I'm gonna go with
this newest one that I have whereI'm not going to worry about the wider
running back position so early in thedraft. So let's just kind of see
how this plays out. So withoutfurther ado, I'm in a ten person
mock right now. I am draftingnumber five, so just getting it to
(02:58):
start up here. So right offthe bat, obviously we got Justin Jefferson
Jamar Chase coming off the board,followed by McCaffrey and Austin Eckler. So
now it's my pick. I havedecided this year that I'm gonna do my
best to walk away like there's onlytwo two running backs that I want to
(03:21):
draft in the first round. Oneis Jamar or sorry nut Jamar Chase McCaffrey,
and the other is Jean Robinson.However, I do like the fact,
I mean, justin Jefferson's gone,maybe I will. You know what
I'm gonna go, and I'm gonnajump on this, and I'm gonna go
take Beijean Robinson because I gotta followwhat I want to do, right,
(03:43):
So, which is uh draft aguy that follow my gut. So I'm
gonna go with Beijean here. Andafter that figured out what was going to
happen here, We're going to seea whole ton of uh well, you
got to let the last the topwide receivers, Cooper Cup Tyreek Hill went
followed of course by Travis Kelsey runningback four running backs in a row,
(04:08):
Taylor Barkley, Stevenson Jacobs, andthen followed by Diggs, Brown and Lamb.
So the one strategy that I wantto use here, I don't know.
I'm not ken say I'm not highon Kelsey. I did talk about
this earlier this week. I justbased on what he has done, of
course, you're going to want tohave him on your team. However,
(04:31):
I wouldn't be shocked this year ifit was Mark Andrews. Is actually finishes
a tight end one overall, SoI've never been one to draft any of
those either of those two tight ends, because I'm not one to reach for
tight ends. I like to loadup on my roster beforehand. So the
second round, I'm going to tryto go after my my wide receiver one.
(04:53):
So who do we have here rightnow? We got right now the
top players on border Pollard Chubb,Davante Adams, Mark Andrews. Not going
to go for any of those guys. Actually, I am going to go
with am on Saint Brown as mywide receiver one. Maybe balls, I
(05:14):
guess, However, I mean,I do think that Saint Brown is great
value there. He's a top targetfor for UM. Jared Goff, he
proved that last year. I likethem. I think they're all top ten
at their positions. So I'm goingto be you know, I'm very happy
with having my team to start outwith Bijon and I'm on Saint Brown.
(05:39):
So after my uh Saint Brown pick, we had a bunch of wide receivers
go off the board or a bunchof running backs part of me Um followed
by Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams.Now for this round here, I'm kind
of going to go lean at Istill want to have I might go another
I find that there's value in roundsthree to six for running backs this year.
(06:03):
So I think what I'm gonna dois, I'm going to go and
take the one guy that I'm superhigh on this year, while I mean
he was Dyna my last year asa rookie. Um, I'm gonna go
with um. Oh, there's twoof them, Waddle or a Lava.
Which way do I want to leanhere? I think actually I'm gonna go
(06:27):
with Jalen Waddle. I do havehim ranked higher, and I mean we
watched what he did. TWA likeshim. I think two is gonna He's
gonna be great again this year withTWA. So I have no issue having,
you know, going going wide receiverwide receiver in the second and third
rounds. Monross saying Brown and JaylenWaddle. Now this is where I got
(06:50):
to kind of start looking for arunning back. Um GiB Gibbs just went
off the board etten and then youpretty much saw a run on quarterbacks go
with Mahomes, Hurts and Allen.I'm not quite ready to jump on the
the quarterback train quite yet. I'mstill gonna wait probably a couple rounds.
(07:10):
So who I got here now asfar as running backs go, I can
have a choice of Aaron Jones mixingSanders Dobbins. I'm just kinda take a
quick peek here. I mean,you could go all the way down Damian
Pierce, Rashad White, James Connor, stuff like that. So I think
(07:31):
what I'm going to do in thiscase is going to go with I mean,
Harris Gone, Gibbs gone, youknow what. I think I may
even go look at wide receiver againhere because I still think there's value here
(07:53):
because there's a ton of good widereceivers still on the board. So I
think I'm gonna actually go with aguy. This is crazy, but I'm
gonna go. We got top receiversright now are Keenan, Allen Metcalf,
Cooper Godwin, Samuel Ridley, DJMoore, And I think I'm gonna go
and take Drake London at this spotahead of all those guys, which is
(08:16):
crazy, I know, but I'msuper high on Drake Lendon this year after
watching what he did last year.So as of right now, we're looking
at my team is showing Bijean Robinson, Saint Brown, Jalen Waddle, Drake
London young wide receiver, corps allwith upsides, So I'm happy with that.
And now we just saw a wholerun of wide receivers. Go.
(08:39):
Now this is where I have totake a running back, and in this
case most I'm gonna have to gowith with Aaron Jones. Not too happy
with that with that pick right there, However, out of everybody, I
do feel as though there will bestill a few more running backs that are
going to be part of me.Holy Moly, to me out this spot.
(09:03):
So now in the sixth spot,I'm wanna this is where I start
to kind of look to see,Okay, well, who do who's out
there? And I do think Idid wait a little bit on sorry,
in the fifth round. I wouldusually look at a quarterback, but since
we saw those first three guys go, I knew there wasn't going to be
a very big run on quarterback,So for me, I waited a round.
(09:28):
So now I have a choice ofa ton of guys Lamar Jackson,
Joe Burrow, Justice Fields. Iguess at this point I could probably wait
because I still like a huge chunkof those guys, and I am,
like I mentioned, I am kindof weak at the um running back position,
so I think I'm gonna go andtake another running back in this spot.
(09:50):
Um, I love my boy DamianPierce here six round six round I'm
going to get him in love himin this offense. I I'll think he's
going to be highly utilized with Furthest. Texans team. So that's what I
was a fait afraid of guys.Now all of a sudden, all the
quarterbacks fly off the board, SoI mean I could have had. That's
(10:11):
what you're risking though, you're risking, you know, especially in a one
QB league, You're you're risking thoserisking a decent quarterback. However, you
know what who felt to me inmy lap, which I'm also very high
on. I think he's definitely couldbe a He's probably gonna finish as a
top I don't know, it's crazyto say maybe a top five quarterback this
(10:33):
year, but Trevor Lawrence fell tome in round seven. That's a guy
I'm going to take. So asof right now, my team is looking
like we have my quarterbacks. TrevorLawrence, followed by Bi Jean Robinson,
Aaron Jones, Damian Pierce running back, our wide receivers, A Monroe Saint
(10:54):
Brown, Waddle, Drake London.So now going into the eighth round,
we saw and then we started tosee a bunch of upside guys goal like
David Montgomery, Win, Christian Kirk, Rashad White, James Connor. White's
the guy. I was kind oflooking at a couple steals down here.
Though. You got Brandon Ayuk inthe eighth round. Love that spot for
(11:15):
him to drop if you, Imean, I would have probably reached for
him a little higher. I dolove Ayuke this year. The same thing
with Tyler Lockett. I think alot of people are worried about in Jigbo
over there at in Seattle, butI still do think Lockett's going to get
his all right. He's been aPPR beast for pretty much for the for
his whole career there. So nowI'm going to start looking at, you
(11:41):
know, these later guys. Iwant to fill out my roster because,
like I mentioned, my roster's prettymuch built now. It's pretty much going
with high upside guys, guys thatare going to perform, you know,
above their say ADP and stuff likethat. So from this, like from
what I'm looking at right now,I still do feel as though my what
running back courts is quite um notthe greatest. So I think what I
(12:05):
want to do is I'm gonna Imean, if I'm going to look at
these guys, you got Javante Williams, Alvin Kamara still sitting there, James
Cook, Antonio Gibson, Bran Robinson, all those guys. So as of
right now, I think I maygonna go and lead and go and grab
Javanta Williams. That's an upside pickright there. Nobody knows how he's going
(12:28):
to be when he comes back.Sure they added a few bodies back there,
but I mean, if he's,if he's, he showed what he
could do last year while he wason the field, so hopefully he could
come back from that injury and kindof um show half of that. I
mean, just just get get upthere, for get getting there for touches.
That's what you kind of want.So as of now, we got
(12:52):
So it comes back to me nowand as far as the draft board goes,
we went. It went tons ofreceivers, Evans, Marquis Broud,
Deontay Johnson, James cookj Dylon comingoff. That's where we found in Jigba
Addison and trailing Bergs. Those arehigh upside guys that are you know,
are going to get looks in thisoffense, going to get targeted heavily.
(13:16):
So now for me, I thinkI'm gonna go lean that way as well,
and I'm gonna go with a widereceiver. A guy that I really
like has I have him as atop twenty four wide receiver this year is
Johan Dotson of the Commanders. I'mgonna go ahead and take him in round
nine and see who comes back tome a round ten. I know I
(13:37):
did say that we are going tokeep this, you know, an eight
to nine round episode, but Ithink what I'm gonna do is I might
actually just go through it all.I only set it up for fifteen fifteen
rounds. So after Dotson, wesaw a bunch of running backs coming off
the board, followed by a fewwide receivers Gibson, Charbonnet, Kamara,
(13:58):
Herbert p Ryan, Harris Sall cameoff, and then we got Tony Sutton,
Smith Shuster and Gabe Davis here.So my next pick here, So
like I'll refresh this again. TrevorLawrence, be Jean Robinson, Aaron Jones,
Damian Peers, Javante Williams. I'mon Ross and Brown, Waddle,
London and Dodson as far as welook at, you know, tight ends,
(14:24):
I don't usually reach for tight endsquite this high. However, there
is quite a bit of guys stillon the board that I'm happy with that
I know we're going to fall tome. And then I got Dallas Golder
staring me in the eye in roundten. I'm gonna go ahead and draft
(14:45):
him, just kind of see whatthis roster is going to look like at
the end of the day. WhenI draft a tight end around ten after
Golder goes, we had to youknow, bunch of wide receivers as usually,
um a couple of couple running backscome off Algier and when l Jared
Cooks, Johnson, Michael Thomas lovethat pick there, Jeric McKinnon, Elijah
(15:09):
More, Jacoby Myers, Shaw beathim, and now my turn here,
I think I'm gonna go look fora If you look at running wide running
backs, we're gonna we have BrianRobinson, Jamal Williams or Shaw Penny sitting
up there as their top guys.Ron Dale Moore, Darnell Mooney. Those
are Jamison Williams one guy I'm superI think people are sleeping on because of
(15:30):
the whole suspension, aren't going todraft him very high. But I think
this guy's got huge upside either way. Even though I have him on Ross
Saint Brown on my roster, Ithink I'm gonna go and grab Jamison Williams
at eleven AM in the eleventh pickas the in my eleventh round. I'd
kind of I have no issue playingboth of those guys when he does come
into play. I think this teamthrows enough that both these guys are going
(15:54):
to be fantasy relevant. After theWilliams pick, we just kind of saw
a whole ton of wide receivers comeoff and a couple of quarterbacks. We
saw two hum come off and Anthonyrichardson. So I mean after my Trevor
Lawrence pick, I didn't see we'veonly seen four quarterbacks. But that's the
(16:17):
thing, guys, single quarterback leagues, you're only going to have quarterbacks,
are going to fall late into drafts. You could get a quarterback whenever.
However, super flex you're drafting needsguys way earlier, which I'll touch on
a super flex draft maybe with Dalemaybe next week, and we could kind
of see how well what the differenceis. I mean, I'm sure you
guys, you guys are fantasy footballpros out there, so I mean,
(16:41):
you guys, you guys know howmocks work and you know different situations.
So from here, I'm gonna golook at the running back position again.
I do like the one guy thatsticks out to me based on up on
what he did last year and theoffense that he's going into with. We're
(17:03):
not sure too sure what's going onwith Alvin Kamara Jamal Williams sitting there.
Round twelve, Yeah, round twelve. I believe that's a nice value picked
there. I think he's he's aneasy RB two. Sorry I can't say
that. Maybe RB three slash four, but a flex play every week.
So I'm really happy with that withthat value there. Coming back to me,
(17:30):
now, we got let me getto the draft board here. We
got a few tight ends. Tenansare starting to see come off the board
now, so between rounds you know, ten and thirteen, they start to
come off and single QB leagues.Zekiel Elliot, that's crazy seeing him go
(17:51):
off all the way out to downto you know, the thirteenth round.
But situation is he's a free agent, not sure, quite sure where he's
going to land. He will landsomewhere. So as of now we are
looking at kind of debating where togo here. I have to pick,
you know, it's only only setit for I mean I could I could
(18:15):
look at the tight end position.There's still good tight ends out there.
But I do like, um acouple of wide receivers in this spot here.
One, for example, I'm goingto go and take right now,
is going to be Odell Beckham.I mean, going into that Baltimore offense,
buddies with Lamar Jackson. I thinkthis could be. I mean,
(18:37):
he could shine in this offense bigtime. They're expected to throw the ball
more so. Now, of courseI set this, which I don't know
why I set this, I justrealized it. Now, however, I
am going to go. I'm goingto just go and take my defense now,
and then obviously a kicker comes around. I botched this one, guys.
I apologize about that. I shouldhave left the kickers and the defense
(19:02):
out. So that's all that's reallygoing now, is all. It's literally
it was all defense and kickers inthis draft. So I would tell that
let's touch on my team real quick, Trevor Lawrence. Love that pick be
Jean Robinson, Aaron Jones is myRB ones and two armand Ross Saint Brown,
Jalen Waddle to two wide receivers DallasGodert, Drake London. And then
(19:29):
I got Damian Pierce, Travantia Williams, Dotson, Jamison Williams, Jamal Williams,
and Odell Beckham on my bench.To be honest, I I love
this team. This is a highupside team. It's young. I do
think we're going to see a lotof I like to I wish you could
take all your mocks and kind oflike play him into to a division just
to kind of see how, youknow, played against other teams, to
(19:52):
see how it would kind of workout or whatever. But however, I
do like this team. I'm notI'm not frowning on this team at all.
Very happy with who I got andwhere I got him. Probably one
of my favorite picks is probably OdellBeckham sitting there in the thirteenth round,
or even the Jamal Williams in thetwelfth. I mean, Jamal Williams isn't
(20:14):
like I mentioned RB three four,but he's going to have value in this
offense, especially if we see AlvinKamara get suspended or whatnot. So we
saw him put twenty touchdowns in thein the end zone last year. I
mean he could easily see you know, double digit touchdowns again this year.
So to get a guy like that, you know, a bench player in
(20:36):
the twelfth round that's going to beable to produce fantasy wise, I think
that's great value. So outside ofthat guy's hopefully you enjoyed this episode,
this mock draft. I'm not tooused to talking to myself like this,
but hopefully I did a decent enoughjob. Hopefully we won't lose too many
listeners, and if not, justblam Dale because he, of course is

on this week. With that theone and the only Dale DeMott did,
I saved you guys, though,you know what. Number one, we

(01:30):
He can't even buy a fucking mikefor god's sakes. I wonder what

and the other is Jean Robinson.However, I do like the fact,
I mean, justin Jefferson's gone,maybe I will. You know what
I'm gonna go, and I'm gonnajump on this, and I'm gonna go
take Beijean Robinson because I gotta followwhat I want to do, right,
(03:43):
So, which is uh draft aguy that follow my gut. So I'm
gonna go with Beijean here. Andafter that figured out what was going to

got to let the last the topwide receivers, Cooper Cup Tyreek Hill went

Taylor Barkley, Stevenson Jacobs, andthen followed by Diggs, Brown and Lamb.

(05:39):
So after my uh Saint Brown pick, we had a bunch of wide receivers
go off the board or a bunchof running backs part of me Um followed
by Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams.Now for this round here, I'm kind
of going to go lean at Istill want to have I might go another
I find that there's value in roundsthree to six for running backs this year.
(06:03):
So I think what I'm gonna dois, I'm going to go and

Which way do I want to leanhere? I think actually I'm gonna go
(06:27):
with Jalen Waddle. I do havehim ranked higher, and I mean we
watched what he did. TWA likeshim. I think two is gonna He's
gonna be great again this year withTWA. So I have no issue having,
you know, going going wide receiverwide receiver in the second and third
rounds. Monross saying Brown and JaylenWaddle. Now this is where I got
(06:50):
to kind of start looking for arunning back. Um GiB Gibbs just went

Harris Gone, Gibbs gone, youknow what. I think I may
even go look at wide receiver againhere because I still think there's value here
(07:53):
because there's a ton of good widereceivers still on the board. So I
think I'm gonna actually go with aguy. This is crazy, but I'm
gonna go. We got top receiversright now are Keenan, Allen Metcalf,
Cooper Godwin, Samuel Ridley, DJMoore, And I think I'm gonna go
and take Drake London at this spotahead of all those guys, which is
(08:16):
crazy, I know, but I'msuper high on Drake Lendon this year after
watching what he did last year.So as of right now, we're looking
at my team is showing Bijean Robinson, Saint Brown, Jalen Waddle, Drake
London young wide receiver, corps allwith upsides, So I'm happy with that.
And now we just saw a wholerun of wide receivers. Go.
(08:39):
Now this is where I have totake a running back, and in this

going to be part of me.Holy Moly, to me out this spot.
(09:03):
So now in the sixth spot,I'm wanna this is where I start
to kind of look to see,Okay, well, who do who's out
there? And I do think Idid wait a little bit on sorry,
in the fifth round. I wouldusually look at a quarterback, but since
we saw those first three guys go, I knew there wasn't going to be
a very big run on quarterback,So for me, I waited a round.
(09:28):
So now I have a choice ofa ton of guys Lamar Jackson,
Joe Burrow, Justice Fields. Iguess at this point I could probably wait
because I still like a huge chunkof those guys, and I am,
like I mentioned, I am kindof weak at the um running back position,
so I think I'm gonna go andtake another running back in this spot.
(09:50):
Um, I love my boy DamianPierce here six round six round I'm
going to get him in love himin this offense. I I'll think he's
going to be highly utilized with Furthest. Texans team. So that's what I
was a fait afraid of guys.Now all of a sudden, all the
quarterbacks fly off the board, SoI mean I could have had. That's
(10:11):
what you're risking though, you're risking, you know, especially in a one
QB league, You're you're risking thoserisking a decent quarterback. However, you
know what who felt to me inmy lap, which I'm also very high
on. I think he's definitely couldbe a He's probably gonna finish as a
top I don't know, it's crazyto say maybe a top five quarterback this
(10:33):
year, but Trevor Lawrence fell tome in round seven. That's a guy
I'm going to take. So asof right now, my team is looking
like we have my quarterbacks. TrevorLawrence, followed by Bi Jean Robinson,
Aaron Jones, Damian Pierce running back, our wide receivers, A Monroe Saint
(10:54):
Brown, Waddle, Drake London.So now going into the eighth round,
we saw and then we started tosee a bunch of upside guys goal like
David Montgomery, Win, Christian Kirk, Rashad White, James Connor. White's
the guy. I was kind oflooking at a couple steals down here.
Though. You got Brandon Ayuk inthe eighth round. Love that spot for
(11:15):
him to drop if you, Imean, I would have probably reached for
him a little higher. I dolove Ayuke this year. The same thing
with Tyler Lockett. I think alot of people are worried about in Jigbo
over there at in Seattle, butI still do think Lockett's going to get
his all right. He's been aPPR beast for pretty much for the for
his whole career there. So nowI'm going to start looking at, you
(11:41):
know, these later guys. Iwant to fill out my roster because,
like I mentioned, my roster's prettymuch built now. It's pretty much going
with high upside guys, guys thatare going to perform, you know,
above their say ADP and stuff likethat. So from this, like from
what I'm looking at right now,I still do feel as though my what
running back courts is quite um notthe greatest. So I think what I
(12:05):
want to do is I'm gonna Imean, if I'm going to look at
these guys, you got Javante Williams, Alvin Kamara still sitting there, James
Cook, Antonio Gibson, Bran Robinson, all those guys. So as of
right now, I think I maygonna go and lead and go and grab
Javanta Williams. That's an upside pickright there. Nobody knows how he's going
(12:28):
to be when he comes back.Sure they added a few bodies back there,
but I mean, if he's,if he's, he showed what he
could do last year while he wason the field, so hopefully he could
come back from that injury and kindof um show half of that. I
mean, just just get get upthere, for get getting there for touches.
That's what you kind of want.So as of now, we got
(12:52):
So it comes back to me nowand as far as the draft board goes,
we went. It went tons ofreceivers, Evans, Marquis Broud,
Deontay Johnson, James cookj Dylon comingoff. That's where we found in Jigba
Addison and trailing Bergs. Those arehigh upside guys that are you know,
are going to get looks in thisoffense, going to get targeted heavily.
(13:16):
So now for me, I thinkI'm gonna go lean that way as well,
and I'm gonna go with a widereceiver. A guy that I really
like has I have him as atop twenty four wide receiver this year is
Johan Dotson of the Commanders. I'mgonna go ahead and take him in round
nine and see who comes back tome a round ten. I know I
(13:37):
did say that we are going tokeep this, you know, an eight
to nine round episode, but Ithink what I'm gonna do is I might
actually just go through it all.I only set it up for fifteen fifteen
rounds. So after Dotson, wesaw a bunch of running backs coming off
the board, followed by a fewwide receivers Gibson, Charbonnet, Kamara,
(13:58):
Herbert p Ryan, Harris Sall cameoff, and then we got Tony Sutton,
Smith Shuster and Gabe Davis here.So my next pick here, So
like I'll refresh this again. TrevorLawrence, be Jean Robinson, Aaron Jones,
Damian Peers, Javante Williams. I'mon Ross and Brown, Waddle,
London and Dodson as far as welook at, you know, tight ends,
(14:24):
I don't usually reach for tight endsquite this high. However, there
is quite a bit of guys stillon the board that I'm happy with that
I know we're going to fall tome. And then I got Dallas Golder
staring me in the eye in roundten. I'm gonna go ahead and draft
(14:45):
him, just kind of see whatthis roster is going to look like at
the end of the day. WhenI draft a tight end around ten after
Golder goes, we had to youknow, bunch of wide receivers as usually,
um a couple of couple running backscome off Algier and when l Jared
Cooks, Johnson, Michael Thomas lovethat pick there, Jeric McKinnon, Elijah
(15:09):
More, Jacoby Myers, Shaw beathim, and now my turn here,
I think I'm gonna go look fora If you look at running wide running
backs, we're gonna we have BrianRobinson, Jamal Williams or Shaw Penny sitting
up there as their top guys.Ron Dale Moore, Darnell Mooney. Those
are Jamison Williams one guy I'm superI think people are sleeping on because of
(15:30):
the whole suspension, aren't going todraft him very high. But I think
this guy's got huge upside either way. Even though I have him on Ross
Saint Brown on my roster, Ithink I'm gonna go and grab Jamison Williams
at eleven AM in the eleventh pickas the in my eleventh round. I'd
kind of I have no issue playingboth of those guys when he does come
into play. I think this teamthrows enough that both these guys are going
(15:54):
to be fantasy relevant. After theWilliams pick, we just kind of saw
a whole ton of wide receivers comeoff and a couple of quarterbacks. We
saw two hum come off and Anthonyrichardson. So I mean after my Trevor
Lawrence pick, I didn't see we'veonly seen four quarterbacks. But that's the
(16:17):
thing, guys, single quarterback leagues, you're only going to have quarterbacks,
are going to fall late into drafts. You could get a quarterback whenever.
However, super flex you're drafting needsguys way earlier, which I'll touch on
a super flex draft maybe with Dalemaybe next week, and we could kind
of see how well what the differenceis. I mean, I'm sure you
guys, you guys are fantasy footballpros out there, so I mean,
(16:41):
you guys, you guys know howmocks work and you know different situations.
So from here, I'm gonna golook at the running back position again.
I do like the one guy thatsticks out to me based on up on
what he did last year and theoffense that he's going into with. We're
(17:03):
not sure too sure what's going onwith Alvin Kamara Jamal Williams sitting there.
Round twelve, Yeah, round twelve. I believe that's a nice value picked
there. I think he's he's aneasy RB two. Sorry I can't say
that. Maybe RB three slash four, but a flex play every week.
So I'm really happy with that withthat value there. Coming back to me,
(17:30):
now, we got let me getto the draft board here. We
got a few tight ends. Tenansare starting to see come off the board
now, so between rounds you know, ten and thirteen, they start to
come off and single QB leagues.Zekiel Elliot, that's crazy seeing him go
(17:51):
off all the way out to downto you know, the thirteenth round.
But situation is he's a free agent, not sure, quite sure where he's
going to land. He will landsomewhere. So as of now we are
looking at kind of debating where togo here. I have to pick,
you know, it's only only setit for I mean I could I could
(18:15):
look at the tight end position.There's still good tight ends out there.
But I do like, um acouple of wide receivers in this spot here.
One, for example, I'm goingto go and take right now,
is going to be Odell Beckham.I mean, going into that Baltimore offense,
buddies with Lamar Jackson. I thinkthis could be. I mean,
(18:37):
he could shine in this offense bigtime. They're expected to throw the ball
more so. Now, of courseI set this, which I don't know
why I set this, I justrealized it. Now, however, I
am going to go. I'm goingto just go and take my defense now,
and then obviously a kicker comes around. I botched this one, guys.
I apologize about that. I shouldhave left the kickers and the defense
(19:02):
out. So that's all that's reallygoing now, is all. It's literally
it was all defense and kickers inthis draft. So I would tell that
let's touch on my team real quick, Trevor Lawrence. Love that pick be
Jean Robinson, Aaron Jones is myRB ones and two armand Ross Saint Brown,
Jalen Waddle to two wide receivers DallasGodert, Drake London. And then
(19:29):
I got Damian Pierce, Travantia Williams, Dotson, Jamison Williams, Jamal Williams,
and Odell Beckham on my bench.To be honest, I I love
this team. This is a highupside team. It's young. I do
think we're going to see a lotof I like to I wish you could
take all your mocks and kind oflike play him into to a division just
to kind of see how, youknow, played against other teams, to
(19:52):
see how it would kind of workout or whatever. But however, I
do like this team. I'm notI'm not frowning on this team at all.
Very happy with who I got andwhere I got him. Probably one
of my favorite picks is probably OdellBeckham sitting there in the thirteenth round,
or even the Jamal Williams in thetwelfth. I mean, Jamal Williams isn't
(20:14):
like I mentioned RB three four,but he's going to have value in this
offense, especially if we see AlvinKamara get suspended or whatnot. So we
saw him put twenty touchdowns in thein the end zone last year. I
mean he could easily see you know, double digit touchdowns again this year.
So to get a guy like that, you know, a bench player in
(20:36):
the twelfth round that's going to beable to produce fantasy wise, I think
that's great value. So outside ofthat guy's hopefully you enjoyed this episode,
this mock draft. I'm not tooused to talking to myself like this,
but hopefully I did a decent enoughjob. Hopefully we won't lose too many
listeners, and if not, justblam Dale because he, of course is
