We go, Here, we go, Here, we go night everything I'm
bringing. I'm why not I allmet up? Sure, I don't y
(00:23):
what ever day you are now listeningto the Fantasy Football Bros. Podcast.
(00:44):
I'll talk about that. What's goingon? Everybody gets the boy Chaz and
welcome back to the Fantasy Football Bros. Podcast. And this is a this
is something new here we're doing andwe're doing. Uh, we're doing a
mock draft review that I did.Uh. The draft is Thursday, Thursday,
(01:08):
Thursday, Thursday, eight o'clock.So you know, there's a lot
a lot of homies, a lotof professional homies doing doing you know,
Fantasy football mocked or you know NFLmock drafts and stuff like that. So
I decided to do one myself.Now, we're not gonna go through the
whole the whole draft process as itis. We're not just gonna go through
(01:30):
the draft, uh, or we'renot gonna do the draft live. I've
already done the draft. Rather,so we're gonna go through it and we're
gonna share my thoughts with you andhow it affects fantasy football. And we
didn't do any trades in this draft. There's gonna be some trades. This
isn't gonna be perfect. We knowthat, but we so no trades in
(01:52):
this draft. But it is.It is a it is a very offensive
heavy draft and quarterbacks and uh justit's it's pretty wild. If you if
you're looking, if you're watching iton the YouTube, you can see the
(02:13):
draft here. I just pulled up. And if you're listening, don't worry.
We're gonna We're gonna go through itfor you. So with the first
overall pick, the Chicago Bear,shock nobody and take Caleb Williams, and
definitely he's the best quarterback in thedraft. And honestly, with the weapons
they got and spoiler alert might getmore right now, you know you have
Keenan Allen, you have Cole Comet, and you have DJ Moore. I
(02:38):
mean, those are great weapons asit is, and like I said,
they might do something later. SoKayleb Williams might be a back end fantasy
football starter. Honestly, right fromthe go, he might be like around
twelve or thirteen. He's a verytalented, very good quarterback and he's going
into a situation and a good situationand props to Chicago to pull this trade
(03:02):
off. This is the trade thatthey made with UH Carolina last year to
UH they wanted to get Bryce Youngin the first overall pick, so they
traded their next year's first to getup there. And it turned out to
be the first overall pick because BryceYoung was not very good as we know,
(03:23):
and Caleb Williams is a much muchbetter process than Bryce Young, our
prospect than Bryce Young. So withthe second overall pick, we have the
Washington Commanders taken Jaden Daniels, aquarterback out of LSU, and it's pretty
good. Like he's the Heisman Trophywinner. You know, he's going into
(03:44):
a situation with with scary Terry McLaurin, and you know they they've got they've
got some decent weapons there with TerryMcLaurin. And then another receiver I'm just
dripp blank and as his name,but he was the first round pick a
couple of years ago from from UHfrom Penn State. There's up pickles and
(04:05):
then they've got also Brian Robinson atrunning back. So Jay Daniels getting in
there, I don't know if he'sgonna have an impact. You know,
we look at I think he'll besomewhere between the rookies last year, Like
he won't be as bad as BryceYoung, but he's certainly not going to
be as good as c. J. Stroud was. There three quarterbacks in
(04:26):
a row because the New England Patriotsget there Man and Drake May. Drake
May is probably the most between thelast these last two, Jaden and Drake.
He's the most pro ready, prostyle quarterback. Guy can move a
little bit on a nice arm,but he's gonna be going here to the
Patriots and I think he's a goodHe's a good fit for them. Defensive
(04:46):
minded young coach. This is aguy you don't have to coach up too
much. It's not like he's gonnastep in and dominate the league. But
he's the type of guy that's notgoing to drive you crazy and make weird
and run around and be a circusact. He's not gonna be like that,
not gonna be like how Johnnie Manzelwas. Kyler Murray is like,
(05:08):
that's not who he's gonna be andfor a defensive minded coach, just is
like the perfect fit. So firstthree quarterbacks in a row pretty Chalk.
Number four, we got Marvin HarrisonJunior going to the Arizona Cardinals and they
literally have no wide receiver right now. I believe Michael Wilson is their number
one, so they definitely need this. He is the best wide receiver prospect
(05:30):
in years coming out of Ohio State. There was a point where Ohio State
had Garrett Wilson, Chris o'lave andthis guy, and this guy was out
playing them all. So this guyis one of those can't miss prospects.
So we're gonna go in to pickfive and we're sitting at the LA Chargers.
Jim Harbaugh is there, guys.Oh, the LA Chargers they just
released both of their receivers, releasedone or traded one and didn't resign the
(05:56):
other. They got Quinton Johnston,who did shit. There's still great receive
on the board. They're gonna takeone of those, right Nah, bruh.
This is this is Greg Roman,this is Jim Harbaugh. Okay,
guys, they're going with a tackleJoe Alt out of Notre Dame. Don't
be surprised. I've said this allthe time. I said this in my
last mock Draft two. They're goingJoe alt tackle from Notre Dame, or
(06:18):
they're gonna trade out, but wedidn't. We didn't do trades. But
I believe in where my picks are. And what I mean by that is
like I believe that the Chargers aretaking an offensive lineman. That doesn't necessarily
mean they're gonna do it a five. They might trade out and get it,
but I believe that they're gonna takean offensive lineman. And so next
(06:41):
at six, you got the NewYork Giants, and they have no receivers,
right, but they also have possiblya weakness a quarterback. And I
don't believe that Dave Ball loves DanielJones and they can get out of Daniel
Jones contract easier next year, andthey're gonna just take JJ McCarthy and they're
gonna try to try to see whatthey can get out of DJ and have
(07:03):
JJ learn you don't have to starthim right away. And I think they're
just gonna do it. I thinkthey're gonna make the change. I know
that doesn't fit a lot of peoplescenarios, but I just have a feeling
that that's what's gonna happen here becausethey're gonna just move on from DJ.
Which is I mean, I getit. Then we got number seven.
We got another tackle coming off theboard. J C. Latham. I
(07:26):
know everybody was simping out all overthese wide receivers and there's gonna be so
many in the first round, butyou're not seeing it quite yet. JC
Latham tackle from Tennessee. I mean, that's what they're gonna do. I
mean, they're gonna take alignment.Tennessee's gonna take a linement. They you
know they've got They signed Calvin Ridley, they still got Nuke, they have
Treylon Burks. They took Will Levis. Last year, they just went and
(07:47):
got oh pit cles. You justhit your head on the remote around the
microphone. They went and got TonyPollard. So they're gonna get an offensive
lineman number eight, the first defensiveplayer going off the board. Edge rusher
Dallas Turner going to the Falcons,and everybody is, you know, mocking
this, and it just makes sense. They need a little edge rush help.
Their offense is pretty stacked. Theyjust got their quarterback. Their offensive
(08:11):
lineman ain't the worst worst, theystill need some help, but they're getting
the best pass rusher arguably. Imean, it's the first one off the
board. They might take a differentpass rusher who they think is the best.
But the best pass rusher coming offthe board at eight to them,
you can't beat that. And theBears are back on the clock at nine
and they walk in to Meleak Neighborswide receiver. I know, at first,
(08:33):
I didn't understand why they would dothat because they already have DJ Moore,
they already have Keenan. But keenanillis old. He's a one year
deal. He's gonna help you know, he's gonna help Kayler Williams grow.
I get it now. They canpair Kayleb Williams with the receiver Milik Neighbors.
Did Milik Neighbors make Jaden Daniels theJanden Daniels make Milk Neighbors? Are
(08:56):
they both good? Like? It'sgreat because we get to see and we
get to check out there. Sofinishing off our top ten, we got
another offensive player. That's gonna benine offensive players and the top ten picks,
and that would be tight end RockBauers to the Jets. Of course,
as a Bills fin that's not whatI want to see. But Brock
Bauers is the man. He isas high of a prospect as Dalton Kincaid
(09:20):
was last year that the Bill's got. Brock Bauers is even better coming out
of Georgia. I mean, thisguy is just great. He's every bit
as good as Dalton Kincaid, ifnot better. So I hate to see
it there, but that's what's gonnahappen. Now, there's gonna be some
surprises here. You don't see itthis as much, but we got a
surprise here with with Minnesota taking aquarterback Bo Knicks here. I mean they
(09:43):
lost out on the top four,but Bo Knicks, you know, I
mean, this is what happens.Do I think both should do I think
that bow Knicks should go this early. No, but this is what happens
with quarterbacks. So bow Knicks isgoing to get overdrafted and he's going to
go there, and that's where he'sgonna go. Now, you got on
the the twelfth overall pick. Now, normally you know they were in the
(10:03):
market for a quarterback, but theyjust made a trade for Zach Wilson.
And I don't think you make atrade for Zach Wilson. I know it's
a six round pick, but youknow, Zach Wilson's fit with Sean Payton's
pretty good, to be honest.So they're gonna they're gonna show up their
defensive line and get Jerzon Newton.The reason I say that is because that
(10:24):
just seems like a Sean Payton thingto do. Honestly. They have so
many offensive needs. He's an offensivecoach. It was like that in It
was like that back when he wasin New Orleans, and they would always
take some kind of defensive player,and I just just feel that's what's gonna
happen here. So then another surpriseat thirteen, the Vegas Raiders take Michael
(10:45):
PENNOCKX junior quarterback out of Washington,and it is the premier Raiders pick.
It's a reach, it's a quarterbackthat needs some development, but it seems
like the right in the right systemthere, and Antonio Pierce seems like he
seems like his kind of player,and it just seems like a lot of
(11:07):
players will do anything for, youknow, Antonio Peers, it seems like,
and it just seems like Michael PennockJunior is gonna fit there perfectly,
so he's gonna go there. Sothat's five quarterbacks and top thirteen picks.
Guys, the Saints at fourteen isgoing to take Byron Murphy for the defensive
lineman for Texas, arguably the bestdefensive lineman in the draft. They need
(11:28):
help everywhere. Head shout out toyou, Saints, Joe. So they're
not going to take something that exciting, not with their defensive mind and minded
mindset, They're not going to doit. So just's gonna happen. So
then he falls, and he fallsto a great place. I've got Roma
Dunze, who I think is atop three to two receiver in this draft,
fall all the way to fifteen toend up with to end up with
(11:52):
the Indianapolis Colts, and they gota big, good start pair of wide
receivers within Dunza and Michael Pittman Juniorand don't forget about like Alex Pears and
Josh Downs and of course paired thatwith Jonathan Taylor and ar so I'll be
that'll be a scary offense and tooka step back last year, but they're
gonna get it together this year withthat pick. So to finish off the
(12:15):
first half of this draft, we'vegot the first corner back coming off the
board to Seattle Quinny and Mitchell cornerback out of Toledo, and you know,
arguably he is the best quarter cornerbackon the board. I can't act
like I'm a corner cornerback whisperer,but we just went with that one because
it seems right. At seventeen,we've got cornerback listed, but possibly safety
(12:37):
Cooper de Jon going to to Jacksonville, and I think that's they need.
They need help in the secondary,so either way, it's good for him.
My last mock, I think Ihad the Bills taking him there,
but he's he's going up the draftboard. So now here's an interesting one.
At eighteen. Overall, you've gotthe You've got the Cincinnati Bengals,
and they are in a bind withT Higgins. A lot of people have
(13:01):
T Higgins getting moved and getting traded, and if that's the case, that's
interesting. I think, you know, there is a chance that the Bills
make a move for T Higgins,but we didn't do any trains here,
so you know, people think thatthey might take a receiver here because there's
only three gone and they need tolike get a new receiver in there to
(13:22):
replace T Higgins. Bro you justhad your quarterback go down again second season
loss to injury after his rookie season. He is a banged up quarterback.
He's the richest quarterback in the league. I think right. I don't think
he overtook. I think he didovertake who wasn't it was justin Herbert.
I think it's him now. Buteither way, he's been banged up.
(13:46):
You need to protect him. They'regonna take the offensive lineman of Oregon State
to Leezi Fuaga. I think that'show you say it. They just need
to protect Joe Burrow. Sorry,Joe Burrow needs to stay on his feet
and not on his ass x.So they're gonna take him. I'm sorry,
Bengals fans, You're not gonna likeit, but that's what it is.
Nineteenth overall, they're the Los AngelesRams are gonna take Liaou to la
(14:09):
to a lot of people have himas the best ed rusher in this draft,
but he's very he's very polarizing,so he's gonna go there. They
just lost I know, they justlost the big man in the middle there,
but you know, you can't justreplace him with a random guy,
so they need to rebuild that defensiveline, and it starts with uh,
(14:31):
it starts with some pass rushing andand that's what they're gonna do here.
So then the Steelers sitting there twentythey do need a receiver. There's some
sitting there, but it's just notwhat the Steelers do. They're not gonna
take a receiver in the first round. I don't think so. I can't
remember the last time they took areceiver in the first round. It might
have been Blackxico Burs because if youlook back their receivers, they're best receivers
(14:52):
lately. Dante Johnson was like asecond round pick. The kid they have
an now from Georgia's the second roundpick. Mike Wallace was like a fifth
round pick. Antonio Brown was likea fifth round pick. So they don't
take receiver in the first round.So George Pickens, that's the name I
was forget about. So yeah,that that's I don't I don't see them
taking a receiver. So twenty firstoverall, Dolphins get a good, good
(15:16):
player here. They get they geted rusher Jared Verse from Florida State.
They need some help on the line. They're gonna be chasing around Josh Allen.
They're gonna be chasing around Drake May. They're gonna be chasing around Aaron
Rodgers, so that they need somepass rush help. They're gonna do it.
They're twenty two in the Eagles.Of course, the Eagles get a
steal in the draft. Who Ithink is the best corner in the draft,
(15:37):
kool Aid mckinstreet from Alabama. Theyget a steal. That's what the
Eagles get. It works out perfectfor them. We're on a little bit
of a defensive run here, actually, which is nice to see. And
then the so they so we havethe Vikings on the clock. The Vikings
got their QB earlier and now they'regonna get there. Uh, they need
cornerback help. They need help onthe defensive backfield. So they're gonna take
Nate Wiggins out of Clemson. Theygot the Dallas Cowboys and they need definitely
(16:03):
need a running back. They coulduse a receiver help, but they're gonna
make the smart move. They're gonnaprotect Dak. They're gonna they're gonna show
up that offensive line. They're gonnatake a tackle Troy new Fund, Troy
fout to new For Troy Fatanu outof Washington, and we're gonna pay that
back to back with the Green BayPackers taking a tackle as well. They
take Graham Barton out of Duke,and I think that makes sense for the
(16:25):
Packers. I wouldn't be surprised ifthe Packers took a receiver. They have
such great young weapons everywhere. Butthat could be a Jordan Love thing.
Do all of a sudden, RomeoDobbs and Christian Watson and Jadie Reid and
the tight ends they have there?Are they all just great? Or is
love making them great? Right?So if it is love, get a
nice tackle, you add your guysretired, get a tackle, and uh,
(16:49):
get a tackle in there and protectJordan Love because that is your franchise,
that's your future, and you're aboutto pay him a lot of money
too. Uh. Then you've gotthe Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who they cut
Mike Evans, they still have ChrisGodwin. You know, they're running backs
were taking a step up. RashadWhite, they resigned, they resigned Baker.
You know they need a little helpever, but they were a playoff
(17:10):
team. They're got the best centeron the board, arguable possibly the best
offensive lineman. The whole board withJackson Powers Johnson. I think it's a
perfect fit for them. This nextpick here, this was Houston Picks picking
now is Arizona Cardins. I wasthis was a tough one for me because
they got their receiver earlier with MarvinHarrison. They're not gonna pick another one.
(17:30):
This could be a trade pick,a traded pick, but I kept
him there. I got him somesecondary help with Tyler Nuban out of Minnesota,
a safety to pair with Buddha Bakerback there, like if he's still
there, but he might be gonetoo, So it's like I just they
just need a little help on theback end. So they got two first
round picks there. Then we gotour Buffalo Bills, and I believe I
(17:51):
had him them take him last time. I was thinking about maybe taking a
Dony Mitchell here, a d Mitchellhere, but I'm going with Mike gut
which which I've said all long,Brian Thomas Junior from LSU go to the
Bills here. It's just what theyneed. They don't have a receiver like
this on there, and now withDiggs leaving, like he can come in
and start. I just like thatpick a lot Ady Mitchell will be fine
(18:15):
though too. So then you're gonnamove on to twenty nine with the Lions
and they take a cornerback from Michigan, Mike Sane San Rich Still. I
don't know these names right, butthat's a very Lions pick right now.
You know they're they were in theNFC Championship game. They're shoring up their
secondary. That's a great pick forthem. And then now we're moving on
to the Ravens and they're gonna againtake another receiver in the first round,
(18:38):
three out of four years. Buthey man, it's working for him.
They had NFL MVP last year asa receiver or as a quarterback, and
they're gonna have a you know,another weapon there with Ady Mitchell going to
Tech, the from Texas going tothe Baltimore Ravens. Thirty one, you've
got the Niners. Honestly, Ithink they're gonna trade out of this,
(19:02):
but I have him staying here.And it's the forty nine ers thing.
What are they gonna do. They'regonna take the offensive lineman and just keep
churning. I got him taking OlimiFashano from Penn State. I mean that's
a steal. I think that's whatthey're gonna do. If they take a
receiver that spells curtains for Brandon Nayuk. But that's what I think they're gonna
do here is take it offensive lineman, keep it ugly, and that's what
(19:25):
sometimes good teams do. And thirtyto the defending the reigning, defending undisputed
Super Bowl champions, getting their numberone receiver, getting maybe their number two
receiver. But with Rashi Rice's incidenceis happening right now, They're gonna take
the Georgia boy, They're gonna takelad McConkie. And I think that kind
of a slot weapon is a goodad for Patrick mahomes. And I think
(19:51):
right away he steps in and he'stheir number one. I think right away,
Lad Ladd McConkie is better than RashieRice right away and Kadarius Tone and
honestly the Rice, Tony McConkie andand Travis Kelcey of course, like is
a better lineup than Patrick Mahomes hashad in a while. So yeah,
this was a quick episode, justgiving you my last you know, my
(20:14):
official this was my official first roundof the of the draft. We didn't
get to talk on any running backscauserunning backs just don't happen to go in
the first round anymore. I thinkDallas is in one for the second,
one for the second rounder. Youknow, you know, you still got
Spencer Rattler, who I think isgonna make some noise in the NFL more
than his draft position, so he'sgonna go somewhere. Joe Milton is the
(20:37):
quarterback to look out for from Tennessee. Big dude. This is like Josh
Allen, so like I would loveto see the Bills get him and develop
him and that would be cool andlike as a backup because he's like gonna
be a late fifth round pick.But Joe Milton is like Josh Allen,
like Anthony Richardson, but just notas clean and stuff like that. So
he's gonna go late. And wellthat is the fan That is the mock
(21:00):
draft. The draft is in acouple of days tomorrow, as you hear
this, and I'm excited for itand I can't wait for it. If

mock draft review that I did.Uh. The draft is Thursday, Thursday,
(01:08):
Thursday, Thursday, eight o'clock.So you know, there's a lot
a lot of homies, a lotof professional homies doing doing you know,
Fantasy football mocked or you know NFLmock drafts and stuff like that. So
I decided to do one myself.Now, we're not gonna go through the
whole the whole draft process as itis. We're not just gonna go through
(01:30):
the draft, uh, or we'renot gonna do the draft live. I've
already done the draft. Rather,so we're gonna go through it and we're

didn't do any trades in this draft. There's gonna be some trades. This
isn't gonna be perfect. We knowthat, but we so no trades in
(01:52):
this draft. But it is.It is a it is a very offensive
heavy draft and quarterbacks and uh justit's it's pretty wild. If you if
you're looking, if you're watching iton the YouTube, you can see the
(02:13):
draft here. I just pulled up. And if you're listening, don't worry.
We're gonna We're gonna go through itfor you. So with the first
overall pick, the Chicago Bear,shock nobody and take Caleb Williams, and
definitely he's the best quarterback in thedraft. And honestly, with the weapons
they got and spoiler alert might getmore right now, you know you have
Keenan Allen, you have Cole Comet, and you have DJ Moore. I
(02:38):
mean, those are great weapons asit is, and like I said,
they might do something later. SoKayleb Williams might be a back end fantasy
football starter. Honestly, right fromthe go, he might be like around
twelve or thirteen. He's a verytalented, very good quarterback and he's going
into a situation and a good situationand props to Chicago to pull this trade
(03:02):
off. This is the trade thatthey made with UH Carolina last year to
UH they wanted to get Bryce Youngin the first overall pick, so they
traded their next year's first to getup there. And it turned out to
be the first overall pick because BryceYoung was not very good as we know,
(03:23):
and Caleb Williams is a much muchbetter process than Bryce Young, our
prospect than Bryce Young. So withthe second overall pick, we have the
Washington Commanders taken Jaden Daniels, aquarterback out of LSU, and it's pretty
good. Like he's the Heisman Trophywinner. You know, he's going into
(03:44):
a situation with with scary Terry McLaurin, and you know they they've got they've
got some decent weapons there with TerryMcLaurin. And then another receiver I'm just
dripp blank and as his name,but he was the first round pick a
couple of years ago from from UHfrom Penn State. There's up pickles and
(04:05):
then they've got also Brian Robinson atrunning back. So Jay Daniels getting in
there, I don't know if he'sgonna have an impact. You know,
we look at I think he'll besomewhere between the rookies last year, Like
he won't be as bad as BryceYoung, but he's certainly not going to
be as good as c. J. Stroud was. There three quarterbacks in
(04:26):
a row because the New England Patriotsget there Man and Drake May. Drake
May is probably the most between thelast these last two, Jaden and Drake.
He's the most pro ready, prostyle quarterback. Guy can move a
little bit on a nice arm,but he's gonna be going here to the
Patriots and I think he's a goodHe's a good fit for them. Defensive
(04:46):
minded young coach. This is aguy you don't have to coach up too
much. It's not like he's gonnastep in and dominate the league. But
he's the type of guy that's notgoing to drive you crazy and make weird
and run around and be a circusact. He's not gonna be like that,
not gonna be like how Johnnie Manzelwas. Kyler Murray is like,
(05:08):
that's not who he's gonna be andfor a defensive minded coach, just is
like the perfect fit. So firstthree quarterbacks in a row pretty Chalk.
Number four, we got Marvin HarrisonJunior going to the Arizona Cardinals and they
literally have no wide receiver right now. I believe Michael Wilson is their number
one, so they definitely need this. He is the best wide receiver prospect
(05:30):
in years coming out of Ohio State. There was a point where Ohio State
had Garrett Wilson, Chris o'lave andthis guy, and this guy was out
playing them all. So this guyis one of those can't miss prospects.
So we're gonna go in to pickfive and we're sitting at the LA Chargers.
Jim Harbaugh is there, guys.Oh, the LA Chargers they just
released both of their receivers, releasedone or traded one and didn't resign the
(05:56):
other. They got Quinton Johnston,who did shit. There's still great receive
on the board. They're gonna takeone of those, right Nah, bruh.
This is this is Greg Roman,this is Jim Harbaugh. Okay,
guys, they're going with a tackleJoe Alt out of Notre Dame. Don't
be surprised. I've said this allthe time. I said this in my
last mock Draft two. They're goingJoe alt tackle from Notre Dame, or
(06:18):
they're gonna trade out, but wedidn't. We didn't do trades. But
I believe in where my picks are. And what I mean by that is
like I believe that the Chargers aretaking an offensive lineman. That doesn't necessarily
mean they're gonna do it a five. They might trade out and get it,
but I believe that they're gonna takean offensive lineman. And so next
(06:41):
at six, you got the NewYork Giants, and they have no receivers,
right, but they also have possiblya weakness a quarterback. And I
don't believe that Dave Ball loves DanielJones and they can get out of Daniel
Jones contract easier next year, andthey're gonna just take JJ McCarthy and they're
gonna try to try to see whatthey can get out of DJ and have
(07:03):
JJ learn you don't have to starthim right away. And I think they're
just gonna do it. I thinkthey're gonna make the change. I know
that doesn't fit a lot of peoplescenarios, but I just have a feeling
that that's what's gonna happen here becausethey're gonna just move on from DJ.
Which is I mean, I getit. Then we got number seven.
We got another tackle coming off theboard. J C. Latham. I
(07:26):
know everybody was simping out all overthese wide receivers and there's gonna be so
many in the first round, butyou're not seeing it quite yet. JC
Latham tackle from Tennessee. I mean, that's what they're gonna do. I
mean, they're gonna take alignment.Tennessee's gonna take a linement. They you
know they've got They signed Calvin Ridley, they still got Nuke, they have
Treylon Burks. They took Will Levis. Last year, they just went and
(07:47):
got oh pit cles. You justhit your head on the remote around the
microphone. They went and got TonyPollard. So they're gonna get an offensive
lineman number eight, the first defensiveplayer going off the board. Edge rusher
Dallas Turner going to the Falcons,and everybody is, you know, mocking
this, and it just makes sense. They need a little edge rush help.
Their offense is pretty stacked. Theyjust got their quarterback. Their offensive
(08:11):
lineman ain't the worst worst, theystill need some help, but they're getting
the best pass rusher arguably. Imean, it's the first one off the
board. They might take a differentpass rusher who they think is the best.
But the best pass rusher coming offthe board at eight to them,
you can't beat that. And theBears are back on the clock at nine
and they walk in to Meleak Neighborswide receiver. I know, at first,
(08:33):
I didn't understand why they would dothat because they already have DJ Moore,
they already have Keenan. But keenanillis old. He's a one year
deal. He's gonna help you know, he's gonna help Kayler Williams grow.
I get it now. They canpair Kayleb Williams with the receiver Milik Neighbors.
Did Milik Neighbors make Jaden Daniels theJanden Daniels make Milk Neighbors? Are
(08:56):
they both good? Like? It'sgreat because we get to see and we
get to check out there. Sofinishing off our top ten, we got
another offensive player. That's gonna benine offensive players and the top ten picks,
and that would be tight end RockBauers to the Jets. Of course,
as a Bills fin that's not whatI want to see. But Brock
Bauers is the man. He isas high of a prospect as Dalton Kincaid
(09:20):
was last year that the Bill's got. Brock Bauers is even better coming out
of Georgia. I mean, thisguy is just great. He's every bit
as good as Dalton Kincaid, ifnot better. So I hate to see
it there, but that's what's gonnahappen. Now, there's gonna be some
surprises here. You don't see itthis as much, but we got a
surprise here with with Minnesota taking aquarterback Bo Knicks here. I mean they
(09:43):
lost out on the top four,but Bo Knicks, you know, I
mean, this is what happens.Do I think both should do I think
that bow Knicks should go this early. No, but this is what happens
with quarterbacks. So bow Knicks isgoing to get overdrafted and he's going to
go there, and that's where he'sgonna go. Now, you got on
the the twelfth overall pick. Now, normally you know they were in the
(10:03):
market for a quarterback, but theyjust made a trade for Zach Wilson.
And I don't think you make atrade for Zach Wilson. I know it's
a six round pick, but youknow, Zach Wilson's fit with Sean Payton's
pretty good, to be honest.So they're gonna they're gonna show up their
defensive line and get Jerzon Newton.The reason I say that is because that
(10:24):
just seems like a Sean Payton thingto do. Honestly. They have so
many offensive needs. He's an offensivecoach. It was like that in It
was like that back when he wasin New Orleans, and they would always
take some kind of defensive player,and I just just feel that's what's gonna
happen here. So then another surpriseat thirteen, the Vegas Raiders take Michael
(10:45):
PENNOCKX junior quarterback out of Washington,and it is the premier Raiders pick.
It's a reach, it's a quarterbackthat needs some development, but it seems
like the right in the right systemthere, and Antonio Pierce seems like he
seems like his kind of player,and it just seems like a lot of
(11:07):
players will do anything for, youknow, Antonio Peers, it seems like,
and it just seems like Michael PennockJunior is gonna fit there perfectly,
so he's gonna go there. Sothat's five quarterbacks and top thirteen picks.
Guys, the Saints at fourteen isgoing to take Byron Murphy for the defensive
lineman for Texas, arguably the bestdefensive lineman in the draft. They need
(11:28):
help everywhere. Head shout out toyou, Saints, Joe. So they're
not going to take something that exciting, not with their defensive mind and minded
mindset, They're not going to doit. So just's gonna happen. So
then he falls, and he fallsto a great place. I've got Roma
Dunze, who I think is atop three to two receiver in this draft,
fall all the way to fifteen toend up with to end up with
(11:52):
the Indianapolis Colts, and they gota big, good start pair of wide
receivers within Dunza and Michael Pittman Juniorand don't forget about like Alex Pears and
Josh Downs and of course paired thatwith Jonathan Taylor and ar so I'll be
that'll be a scary offense and tooka step back last year, but they're
gonna get it together this year withthat pick. So to finish off the
(12:15):
first half of this draft, we'vegot the first corner back coming off the
board to Seattle Quinny and Mitchell cornerback out of Toledo, and you know,
arguably he is the best quarter cornerbackon the board. I can't act
like I'm a corner cornerback whisperer,but we just went with that one because
it seems right. At seventeen,we've got cornerback listed, but possibly safety
(12:37):
Cooper de Jon going to to Jacksonville, and I think that's they need.
They need help in the secondary,so either way, it's good for him.
My last mock, I think Ihad the Bills taking him there,
but he's he's going up the draftboard. So now here's an interesting one.
At eighteen. Overall, you've gotthe You've got the Cincinnati Bengals,
and they are in a bind withT Higgins. A lot of people have
(13:01):
T Higgins getting moved and getting traded, and if that's the case, that's
interesting. I think, you know, there is a chance that the Bills
make a move for T Higgins,but we didn't do any trains here,
so you know, people think thatthey might take a receiver here because there's
only three gone and they need tolike get a new receiver in there to
(13:22):
replace T Higgins. Bro you justhad your quarterback go down again second season
loss to injury after his rookie season. He is a banged up quarterback.
He's the richest quarterback in the league. I think right. I don't think
he overtook. I think he didovertake who wasn't it was justin Herbert.
I think it's him now. Buteither way, he's been banged up.
(13:46):
You need to protect him. They'regonna take the offensive lineman of Oregon State
to Leezi Fuaga. I think that'show you say it. They just need
to protect Joe Burrow. Sorry,Joe Burrow needs to stay on his feet
and not on his ass x.So they're gonna take him. I'm sorry,
Bengals fans, You're not gonna likeit, but that's what it is.
Nineteenth overall, they're the Los AngelesRams are gonna take Liaou to la
(14:09):
to a lot of people have himas the best ed rusher in this draft,
but he's very he's very polarizing,so he's gonna go there. They
just lost I know, they justlost the big man in the middle there,
but you know, you can't justreplace him with a random guy,
so they need to rebuild that defensiveline, and it starts with uh,
(14:31):
it starts with some pass rushing andand that's what they're gonna do here.
So then the Steelers sitting there twentythey do need a receiver. There's some
sitting there, but it's just notwhat the Steelers do. They're not gonna
take a receiver in the first round. I don't think so. I can't
remember the last time they took areceiver in the first round. It might
have been Blackxico Burs because if youlook back their receivers, they're best receivers
(14:52):
lately. Dante Johnson was like asecond round pick. The kid they have
an now from Georgia's the second roundpick. Mike Wallace was like a fifth
round pick. Antonio Brown was likea fifth round pick. So they don't
take receiver in the first round.So George Pickens, that's the name I
was forget about. So yeah,that that's I don't I don't see them
taking a receiver. So twenty firstoverall, Dolphins get a good, good
(15:16):
player here. They get they geted rusher Jared Verse from Florida State.
They need some help on the line. They're gonna be chasing around Josh Allen.
They're gonna be chasing around Drake May. They're gonna be chasing around Aaron
Rodgers, so that they need somepass rush help. They're gonna do it.
They're twenty two in the Eagles.Of course, the Eagles get a
steal in the draft. Who Ithink is the best corner in the draft,
(15:37):
kool Aid mckinstreet from Alabama. Theyget a steal. That's what the
Eagles get. It works out perfectfor them. We're on a little bit
of a defensive run here, actually, which is nice to see. And
then the so they so we havethe Vikings on the clock. The Vikings
got their QB earlier and now they'regonna get there. Uh, they need
cornerback help. They need help onthe defensive backfield. So they're gonna take
Nate Wiggins out of Clemson. Theygot the Dallas Cowboys and they need definitely
(16:03):
need a running back. They coulduse a receiver help, but they're gonna
make the smart move. They're gonnaprotect Dak. They're gonna they're gonna show
up that offensive line. They're gonnatake a tackle Troy new Fund, Troy
fout to new For Troy Fatanu outof Washington, and we're gonna pay that
back to back with the Green BayPackers taking a tackle as well. They
take Graham Barton out of Duke,and I think that makes sense for the
(16:25):
Packers. I wouldn't be surprised ifthe Packers took a receiver. They have
such great young weapons everywhere. Butthat could be a Jordan Love thing.
Do all of a sudden, RomeoDobbs and Christian Watson and Jadie Reid and
the tight ends they have there?Are they all just great? Or is
love making them great? Right?So if it is love, get a
nice tackle, you add your guysretired, get a tackle, and uh,
(16:49):
get a tackle in there and protectJordan Love because that is your franchise,
that's your future, and you're aboutto pay him a lot of money
too. Uh. Then you've gotthe Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who they cut
Mike Evans, they still have ChrisGodwin. You know, they're running backs
were taking a step up. RashadWhite, they resigned, they resigned Baker.
You know they need a little helpever, but they were a playoff
(17:10):
team. They're got the best centeron the board, arguable possibly the best
offensive lineman. The whole board withJackson Powers Johnson. I think it's a
perfect fit for them. This nextpick here, this was Houston Picks picking
now is Arizona Cardins. I wasthis was a tough one for me because
they got their receiver earlier with MarvinHarrison. They're not gonna pick another one.
(17:30):
This could be a trade pick,a traded pick, but I kept
him there. I got him somesecondary help with Tyler Nuban out of Minnesota,
a safety to pair with Buddha Bakerback there, like if he's still
there, but he might be gonetoo, So it's like I just they
just need a little help on theback end. So they got two first
round picks there. Then we gotour Buffalo Bills, and I believe I
(17:51):
had him them take him last time. I was thinking about maybe taking a
Dony Mitchell here, a d Mitchellhere, but I'm going with Mike gut
which which I've said all long,Brian Thomas Junior from LSU go to the
Bills here. It's just what theyneed. They don't have a receiver like
this on there, and now withDiggs leaving, like he can come in
and start. I just like thatpick a lot Ady Mitchell will be fine
(18:15):
though too. So then you're gonnamove on to twenty nine with the Lions
and they take a cornerback from Michigan, Mike Sane San Rich Still. I
don't know these names right, butthat's a very Lions pick right now.
You know they're they were in theNFC Championship game. They're shoring up their
secondary. That's a great pick forthem. And then now we're moving on
to the Ravens and they're gonna againtake another receiver in the first round,
(18:38):
three out of four years. Buthey man, it's working for him.
They had NFL MVP last year asa receiver or as a quarterback, and
they're gonna have a you know,another weapon there with Ady Mitchell going to
Tech, the from Texas going tothe Baltimore Ravens. Thirty one, you've
got the Niners. Honestly, Ithink they're gonna trade out of this,
(19:02):
but I have him staying here.And it's the forty nine ers thing.
What are they gonna do. They'regonna take the offensive lineman and just keep
churning. I got him taking OlimiFashano from Penn State. I mean that's
a steal. I think that's whatthey're gonna do. If they take a
receiver that spells curtains for Brandon Nayuk. But that's what I think they're gonna
do here is take it offensive lineman, keep it ugly, and that's what
(19:25):
sometimes good teams do. And thirtyto the defending the reigning, defending undisputed
Super Bowl champions, getting their numberone receiver, getting maybe their number two
receiver. But with Rashi Rice's incidenceis happening right now, They're gonna take
the Georgia boy, They're gonna takelad McConkie. And I think that kind
of a slot weapon is a goodad for Patrick mahomes. And I think
(19:51):
right away he steps in and he'stheir number one. I think right away,
Lad Ladd McConkie is better than RashieRice right away and Kadarius Tone and
honestly the Rice, Tony McConkie andand Travis Kelcey of course, like is
a better lineup than Patrick Mahomes hashad in a while. So yeah,
this was a quick episode, justgiving you my last you know, my
(20:14):
official this was my official first roundof the of the draft. We didn't
get to talk on any running backscauserunning backs just don't happen to go in
the first round anymore. I thinkDallas is in one for the second,
one for the second rounder. Youknow, you know, you still got
Spencer Rattler, who I think isgonna make some noise in the NFL more
than his draft position, so he'sgonna go somewhere. Joe Milton is the
(20:37):
quarterback to look out for from Tennessee. Big dude. This is like Josh
Allen, so like I would loveto see the Bills get him and develop
him and that would be cool andlike as a backup because he's like gonna
be a late fifth round pick.But Joe Milton is like Josh Allen,
like Anthony Richardson, but just notas clean and stuff like that. So
he's gonna go late. And wellthat is the fan That is the mock
(21:00):
draft. The draft is in acouple of days tomorrow, as you hear
this, and I'm excited for itand I can't wait for it. If
