0:00This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed Human. All right, and welcome into the Fantasy Pros Dynasty Football Podcast brought to you by
0:07League Tycoon, the Dynasty first fantasy football platform. We're in the back half of what's been a phenomenal college football season as
0:14the calendar prepares to flip to November. And we have seen some major news concerning 2027 NFL Draft prospects.
0:19Dante Moore's time in Eugene is over. Julian Sane is all but out for the season just as Jeremiah Smith was trying
0:26to make his closing arguments for the Heisman Trophy.
0:29We'll break it all down from a Dynasty perspective with our way too early Superflex Rookie Mock Draft.
0:35I'm your host Seth Wilcock back with a man who, hey, his Badgers finally giving us something to believe in.
0:41He's Pat Fitzmaurice Fitz. Before this college football season kicked off, you said you were more excited for it than almost any time over the past decade.
0:49Has it lived up to the billing for you?
0:52It has been a really nice season and that was even without any expectations for my Wisconsin Badgers.
0:58And they've actually been pretty good. Snuck into the top 25 this week and they're prepared for a Dennis chair type of
1:04game against Iowa this week, where I think the over the Vegas total is like 36 and a half.
1:10And I'm slamming the under in that. Love to hear it, man.
1:14And speaking of betting on college ball, I'm back with my co-host as well from the FantasyPros College Football Show.
1:20He's got big time Bogman and Boggs. It's funny how only a week ago we gave out our updated Debbie rankings for this class.
1:28And I feel like throughout this mock draft, I'm still moving prospects up and down the board and it never stops.
1:34And that continued after a wild week eight of the college football season.
1:38I feel like, you know, I'm kind of the anti-injury guy and I feel like a lot of the players I've drafted here have been banged up.
1:46So I think we have a lot of moving pieces in respect to that, but also just development.
1:52You see it happen every single week. You see guys improve.
1:55You see guys regress. And we've seen, I feel like a little bit of everything with this class this year.
2:02So this was this was a little more difficult than we anticipated, I feel like.
2:06And Fitzy mentioned it before we started. Not going to be a lot of chalk after Jeremiah Smith.
2:12It's going to be a lot of personal opinions and for your actual drafts, what you need on your team, because there's
2:19going to be a little bit of everything available.
2:21So, yeah, it's going to be it's going to be an interesting one.
2:25And I feel like we're going to have a lot of disagreement in the comments here.
2:30Yeah. And I think that's a great note you made there, Bob.
2:34Everything is going to be fluid for really the next six months until we get to the nation's capital where we'll have
2:41the NFL draft, because we're still going to go through the senior bowl process.
2:45We'll have the NFL combine of everything leading up to the draft.
2:49But right now we still got a couple more weeks of college football, the CFP bowl season, everything in between.
2:55But we're going to get to this two rounds of a twenty twenty seven rookie mock draft coming your way for super
3:02flex formats way too early edition just because, hey, it's good brain exercise.
3:06We want to make sure that we're moving and, you know, rising and following these prospects in the right manner as we
3:13head into the back half of the season. And before we get to anything, though, just a quick reminder, please give this
3:20video a thumbs up if you enjoy this type of content.

3:40And gentlemen, let's go ahead and start out the draft at the one on one first round.
3:46I'm going to make it easy for us and leave you guys with the hard decisions.
3:50I'm taking Jeremiah Smith at the one on one.
3:53This is a guy who's been the consensus Debbie one on one for really the past three years since that massive freshman season at the age of 18.
4:02And he hasn't looked back this year. He's your current Heisman Trophy favorite right now at plus one twenty two odds, sitting
4:09second in the country and receiving yards at nearly one thousand and receiving touchdowns with 12.
4:14And with how the quarterback class is kind of shaking out here, guys, and the teams at the top of the current
4:20draft order, the Chargers up there, Tennessee up there, Miami, Washington.
4:24There's a real shot that Jeremiah Smith could be the number one overall pick in this entire NFL draft.
4:30And at six foot three, 223 pounds and 20 years old.
4:33This is the type of prospect us as dynasty managers want to build our rosters around.
4:38Right. Because, you know, worst case scenario that he's going to get his chances, even if the quarterback position is not the best for him.
4:46But what happens if he ends up with Justin Herbert?
4:49Right. Like this is going to be the type of prospect that we are going to as dynasty managers salivate for years over.
4:56So Fitz, I know Smith was your one on one coming into the season.
5:00So I can't imagine that's changed on any front for you.
5:04He's my one on one and he will be my wide receiver one in dynasty as soon as he comes into the league.
5:11And I know people will say that's stupid. People have said that stupid when I've said that before and will point to Marvin Harrison Jr.
5:19But there's no comparing Jeremiah Smith and Marvin Harrison Jr.
5:22Jeremiah Smith is just unbelievable. Like he is an alien playing football.
5:25And even without Julian saying for the rest of the season, I think he's going to do just fine and put up
5:32big numbers still because he's that good. He just dominates.
5:35He's a fabulous route runner. He's fast. Contested catch skills are just amazing.
5:39Like this guy has everything to his game and he is going to be a superstar from day one in the NFL.
5:46Boggs Fitz makes a great point without Julian saying it's either going to be three star true freshman.
5:52Luke Fahey under center or five star sophomore quarterback Tavian St.
5:55Claire. How do you think they will continue to help Jeremiah Smith boost or, you know, fall for his draft stock coming up?
6:02Well, you and I talked about it yesterday on the college football show, right?
6:07Like I'm taking Ohio State on the road against USC.
6:10I don't care about the quarterback here because your direction should be throw the ball to Jeremiah Smith, son.
6:16That should be your whole direction, right? Like hand the ball off.
6:19Well, don't fumble it. Throw the ball to Jeremiah Smith.
6:22And he's one of the best college wide receivers we've ever seen.
6:26Period. Flat. End that sentence there. No qualifiers. One of the best college wide receivers in the history of college football.
6:33We're seeing it right now. I think he's still I mean, he's still the betting favorite for the Heisman.
6:38He's still the reason why I won't take another shot at anybody else in the Heisman voting.
6:44So, you know. To put him at number one, I understand people would think it's hype.
6:49It's hyper hyperbole, but it's not, man. He is so good.
6:52And there are very few guys. Even Marvin Harrison, he would have been leaps and bounds ahead of Marvin Harrison as a prospect.
6:59And we all thought Marvin Harrison was going to be coming and be a top five guy, top ten guy at the very least.
7:07That obviously hasn't happened. Mistakes have been made on that.
7:10And those things do happen, but don't let Marvin Harrison Jr.
7:13Sour you on how good Jeremiah Smith is. I really think that that is a distinction that we need to make.
7:20And I, you know, putting him at number one, I don't know if I would immediately leap into that and do it.
7:26But I mean, the worst you can have him is for among wide receivers, right?
7:31Maybe behind Puka and Chase and JSN. That's it.
7:34But my question really is him or JSN. So he's two to me at worst.
7:38So, yeah, I mean, this is the clear one, one, no contest.
7:42Yeah, let's not act like these Ohio State wide receivers have regularly let us down at the NFL level, right?
7:48It's really been Marvin. And that's the only prospect over the last half decade or so.
7:53So we're going to keep it moving to the one or two.
7:57But before we do, I need to remind you that if you play in a serious dynasty league, you should definitely be checking out League Tycoon.

8:48Fitz, over to you with the 102. What are you making your pick here right after Jeremiah Smith goes off the board?
8:55So the asterisk we have to add to this mock draft is that a lot of the quarterbacks who are going to
9:01be selected here, we don't know for sure that they're going to be coming into the draft because a lot of them
9:08are, they have college eligibility remaining after this year.
9:11I would have thought coming into this season that Drew Mestemaker of Oklahoma State would probably not come out after this year.
9:18But now that he seems to have become the unanimous QB1 in the class, at least among the draft analysts I follow,
9:25guys like Dane Brugler, Todd McShay, I think he's coming out because why would you not come out if you're guaranteed to be a top three pick?
9:33Because the Jets are going to draft you? Maybe.
9:36Maybe. They're not up there right now. The Jets don't have a shot.
9:40I'm going to snip them right now. I mean, you stay in school, though.
9:44There's no guarantee that you're top three among quarterbacks next year.
9:47I agree. I agree more, yeah. Yeah. And maybe that's the biggest selling point with Drew Mestemaker is that he has looked
9:54this good when he has had seven games in a big time program because he started at North Texas as a walk
10:01on, spent one season there, played late in that first season.
10:04And then in his one first season as a starter, he excelled, transferred to Oklahoma State.
10:09Now he's excelling. And Drew Mestemaker did not start for his high school team at quarterback.
10:14He was a safety and punter. There was a better regarded quarterback prospect in front of him.
10:20So this guy has very little experience. What could he be with more experience?
10:24And Mestemaker right now, he is averaging 332 passing yards a game, 22 touchdowns in seven games.
10:29Does have six interceptions. He's thrown four in his last two games.
10:33That's not ideal. But he's got arm talent. He's got athleticism and mobility.
10:37He can throw on the move. And I think he's going to generate rushing value as an NFL quarterback.
10:43He's got a quick release. So the toolkit is full.
10:46And, I mean, early in his career as a starting quarterback, he is dazzled.
10:50Yeah. And I'll tell you what, he's the upside shot that I think the 102 is made for, right?
10:56Because, you know, I think that CJ Carr and Darian Mensah, Dante Morse, some of these other quarterbacks that likely going to go in our draft pretty soon.
11:05We've seen them close to their ceiling. While Drew Mestemaker, you mentioned it, Fitz.
11:09He leads the league or country in passing last year at North Texas.
11:13And then on pace right now to potentially do it again here at Oklahoma State.
11:18So he's made this jump twice now. I think the jump to the NFL will be even a bigger jump, especially, you
11:25know, coming out of the Big 12 where the defenses might not play as tight as in the Big 10 or in the SEC.
11:32But at the same time, like, you want a guy with a rocket of an arm who can also run around a little bit, too.
11:40I mean, I'm not saying he could be Josh Allen, but, like, that is the type of upside you're chasing with Mestemaker, right?
11:47So it's a ballsy, you know, throat on the table type of play.
11:51But I think it could be the right one here at the 102.
11:55Boggs, your thoughts on Mestemaker and where are you going with the 103?
11:59Yeah, Mestemaker just translated, right? I think that was the thing that we weren't sure, like going from the G6 and playing
12:06in a, you know, quick moving, high paced offense can be a little gimmicky.
12:10I feel like a lot of people think. But moving up to play Big 12 competition and keeping it up and beating
12:17a team like Oregon specifically was huge for his draft stock and definitely a high pick because of what the legs offer, right?
12:24Because a lot of the guys that we take after this do not have that same type of running style, which is
12:31the flaw to the guy that I took here right behind Drew Mestemaker was CJ Carr.
12:36CJ Carr's got a quick release, outstanding footwork in the pocket.
12:39I think he's taken two sacks this year. He's not turning the ball over one interception this season and only five turnover worthy plays.
12:47He has been really, really good, obviously working with a lot of good weapons and a strong offensive line at Notre Dame, but he doesn't make the mistakes.
12:55He makes every throw and he manipulates the pocket enough to make those throws on the move.
13:01He's not going to offer a lot of rushing upside, but he can manipulate the pocket, which is what you want from your quarterback.
13:08And if you drop him into a situation with a good old line and decent wide receivers, he is absolutely going to make it work from day one.
13:17So really excited to see CJ Carr here and glad he was available for me at number three, because this is a
13:23super flex mock and lots and lots of quarterbacks get taken in this one.
13:28Yeah, it's super interesting because I thought even though they lost that game at BYU, the accuracy he was just dealing out was amazing.
13:35I was really, really impressed by it. I thought that was one of the big spots for CJ Carr.
13:41And I think that's the issue with CJ Carr right now is we just haven't seen, especially with Notre Dame just missing
13:48out on the CFP a year ago. We haven't seen him in a lot of big time spots, right?
13:54He's been playing a lot of the, you know, back half of the ACC, the navies of the world, right?
14:00And so do you think that CJ Carr is one of the more, you know, prospects that could be going up or
14:07down the board over the next couple of weeks as we do see Notre Dame face Miami, then potentially a CFP run if they do win that game?
14:15Yeah, November 7th. That's that's what everyone's waiting for.
14:18Notre Dame Miami. And that is going to be such a showcase for the two quarterbacks involved in that game.
14:24So that's I think that's going to tell the tale.
14:27And then, yeah, I think both of those teams are probably going to have births in the playoffs.
14:33So they are going to be tested in the weeks and months to come.
14:37Yeah, we will see what happens. Everything I've heard, though, like as far as a locker room guy, CJ Carr, all business, no BS type of player.
14:46So definitely one. I don't mind hitching your wagon to their box at the 103.
14:50Lloyd Carr's grandson. I mean, you know, Tommy Carr's brother, you know?
14:54Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Tommy Carr's brother. Right, right.
14:57Yeah. Lloyd Carr's grandson. Dude has football in his veins.
15:00So, yeah, absolutely. Very good prospect. At the 104.
15:03I got Charlie Becker. Wide receiver at IU here.
15:05And look, this is a player who went from being an upside case and one of the best stories in college football
15:12last year, Fernando Mendoza's roommate to being this year's clear wide receiver two in this class.
15:17And to me, I have a number two overall in my entire Superflex rookie rankings here for 2027.
15:23He's coming off a pretty down game against Michigan where Josh Hoover just was kind of sailing everything on the day.
15:29But prior to that, he actually had a career game against Ohio State.
15:33Nine for 165. That was his third game of 100 plus yards this season.
15:38Currently eighth in the country in receiving yards with 700 plus six in receiving touchdowns.
15:42And more importantly, I just think this guy's a game record, right?
15:46He has a really good catch radius. He's six four.
15:49And also at the same time, he's getting separation at that size.
15:53So I think this 40 will be a very big indicator of where his true ceiling is.
15:58But he looks plenty fast to me out there when he does get to top speed.
16:03Maybe not, you know, a great 10 yard split out there that we'll see.
16:07But when he gets up to speed, he's blazing.
16:10And I think the median outcome for Charlie Becker, not the low end, but the median end could be like an Alec Pierce.
16:17But I think the high end, we could be having maybe a Drake Lunding-esque alpha out there earning targets.
16:23You know, not the highest volume in the league, like a JSN or a Chase, but kind of that next tier down
16:30where he's making stuff happening before and after the catch.
16:33Is that a crazy comparison fits for Charlie Becker?
16:36No. No. The guy I see with Charlie Becker is Jordy Nelson.
16:40Okay. A bigger and faster version of Jordy Nelson.
16:42And Jordy Nelson, bigger. Like Jordy Nelson was 6'3", but I think Becker's 6'4".
16:47And Jordy Nelson was like a 4'5 guy. And Becker might be closer to 4'3".
16:51But Jordy Nelson, lest anyone think that is faint praise, had three seasons of, excuse me, four seasons of better than 1,200
16:58yards and three seasons with 13 or more touchdowns.
17:01Jordy Nelson was a baller. And just the way that Becker excels at those back shoulder catches, which was Jordy Nelson's calling card.
17:08And some of the other stuff, like Jordy Nelson was an awesome vertical receiver downfield.
17:13Now we're not seeing, unfortunately, Josh Hoover is maybe, like he's been a little disappointing, I think.
17:18Yeah. So sometimes we're seeing like Charlie Becker make spectacular catches for like seven yards.
17:23You know, he is, like he's had some highlight reel.
17:26He had one that was like a three yard catch.
17:29That was one of the best catches I've seen this college season where he just high points it, gets submarined as he's
17:36catching it, still holds onto it, makes the catch.
17:38He's really good. He's really tough. Good after the catch.
17:41Great at the catch point. I love Charlie Becker.
17:44Boggs, Charlie Becker, clearly your wide receiver too at this point in the draft as well.
17:49Has to be. I mean, he's had such a much better season than Cam Coleman, who is like the only competition for this two spot, in my opinion.
17:58So yeah, I think he has to be number two right now, even with a rough quarterback play.
18:03You can call it rough quarterback play for both of them, right?
18:07And still well above college average. But, you know, he has excelled.
18:11He makes a contested catch. He's great with the ball in his hands.
18:15Like you said, the one thing that he doesn't have is blazing speed.
18:19But when you run routes and you have nuance and hand movement and all that stuff, you can get off a block really well.
18:26You know, all you need to do is be fast enough.
18:30And he is more than fast enough to get away, get some separation.
18:34And if he doesn't, he's going to make that a spectacular, amazing catch, whether it's down the field for three yards, just like Fitzy said.
18:41So great effort from him as well. A lot of motor.
18:45Fitz, you're up with a 105. Where are you going?
18:48Darian Mensah, quarterback for Miami. He has right now through seven games, 2,151 passing yards, 22 touchdowns, only one interception.
18:54Wow. He's completing 81.4% of his passes and averaging 10.5 yards per attempt.
18:58It's also run for a couple of touchdowns. And Mensah broke the ACC record earlier this year with 35 straight completions across
19:05two games, including 24 straight to open a game against Wake Forest.
19:096'3", 205, kind of a thin build that's not ideal.
19:12Mensah has some mobility, although I don't know if he'll provide a lot of rushing value for fantasy, but I do think
19:19he's capable of giving you 200 to 300 rushing yards a season.
19:22Mensah doesn't have a cannon for an arm. Like, he does not have the arm that Mastemaker has as far as just pure arm strength.
19:30Right. Merely average there, but this dude is so accurate.
19:33I mean, he can put a ball exactly where he needs to, and it's repeatable.
19:38Time after time, his mechanics are great. Processing is terrific.
19:41Throws with anticipation. Has a really quick release. Can throw on the move.
19:45This dude is just a very advanced, high-level passer.
19:48And I cannot wait to see him against Notre Dame on November 7th, because Notre Dame's defense is no joke.
19:54Like, that's the best secondary in the country. And, like, he is going to be challenged, but I think they're going to
20:01be challenged by Darian Mensah, because this guy can put it wherever he wants to put it.
20:06Dynasty managers think differently. They're thinking about the next season, three seasons from now, and who might break out before everyone else notices.

22:01Individual results may vary. See website for details. Yeah, I'm excited for that one.
22:05Going to be just an absolute barn burner there.
22:08And Boggs, I think the interesting thing about Mensah is not only has he excelled here down in South Beach, but, you
22:15know, look at his time back in Tulane, leads them as a very young quarterback into an American conference game.
22:21Then last year, you know, Duke of all the underdogs that could have come out of that conference, they're the ones that
22:28end up with the championship trophy at the end of it.
22:31So this is no, you know, big surprise for anyone who's been following Derry Mensah's journey, but he's kind of putting everything
22:38together here and really just serving himself up on a great, great platter for NFL draft committees out there.
22:44A taller Brock Purdy, right? Like that's what he feels like.
22:47The most accurate quarterback in NFL history now that he qualifies Brock Purdy.
22:51That is the feel that I get watching Derry Mensah.
22:54Like Fitzy said, he's going to fit it into a small window.
22:58He's going to find where his wide receiver is going to be able to make the play.
23:03And he's going to lead them downfield into some good spots as well to make a play after.
23:09So just the smarts, the recognition and the accuracy.
23:11And I think there's a lot more unlocked athleticism there if they do want to let him run.
23:17But you just don't need to at this point.
23:20Like just let him sit back there and pick you apart.
23:23He doesn't need to run. I think that's something that he can potentially improve down the stretch.
23:29But this dude is awesome. That's why in our first mock draft before the season started, I gave him to our Steelers.
23:35I just want an accurate quarterback, please. And a guy that will throw the ball downfield.
23:40You know, and like Fitzy said, doesn't have the biggest arm, but doesn't need it.
23:45He can make every throw. And that's what matters.
23:48So and more accurate than anybody else in this class by a margin.
23:52So, yeah, I'm a big, big Derry Mensah fan.
23:54Was really upset that Fitzy took him here. So great pick, Fitzy.
23:58All right. Well, what do you do in response of Derry Mensah going at the 105 Bogs?
24:03I took Dante more about an hour before it was announced that he is not going to play the rest of this season.
24:11I still believe in him, though. I mean, as we mentioned before, you know, the reason you don't come out when something
24:17like this can't happen to you is because the Jets are going to take you.
24:22And that's kind of what he ended up doing, you know, and he had a chance to push up to one one.
24:29But the ball placement is his best trait, in my opinion.
24:32Not as accurate as Mensah, but he he really does set up his wide receivers.
24:37He layers throws well for his targets to get yards after that catch.
24:41But, you know, he's not going to offer a lot in running and maybe even less after this nasty hit.
24:47What is he going to look like when he comes back?
24:50When is he going to be available? Is that going to be during the combine and senior bowl and all that stuff?
24:57Is he going to be able to go through all of the pre-draft process?
25:02And does he want to come back at this point?
25:05Has he dropped too far off specifically if these quarterbacks really raise their stock going into the draft?
25:10So, you know, it's it's going to be interesting to see what he does moving forward.
25:15But after being a guy who could have been a top five pick last year, I don't think even an injury that
25:22ends his season will move him too far back or out of the first round.
25:27I would say he's probably still a top 16 pick, you know, that first half of the first round.
25:33But some teams just, you know, really don't like it when you can't play.
25:37So we'll see. But he's still a very, very good pick.
25:40And Fitz, while I don't want to make light of the severe concussion that he suffered earlier this season against USC, it's
25:47not like it's a torn ACL he's coming off.
25:50So I do agree with Boggs. I do think he still goes in the top 32 picks of the NFL draft.
25:56It could just be maybe in the latter half of those picks rather than the top 10 like we projected coming into the season.
26:04I mean, maybe it was widely assumed he would have gone number two to the Jets had he come out last year.
26:11And some there were reports that some teams would have preferred him to Fernando Mendoza.
26:15So a guy who was going to be a top two pick, like I don't I don't think he gets out of
26:22the top 10 if he comes out. Mike Mansa, just a very talented passer.
26:26Too many QB needy teams. I agree with you, Fitzy.
26:29OK, yeah, I can understand that for sure. And it's not like he wasn't having a good season before he went down.
26:36Right. Had a career game earlier in the season.
26:39Didn't show up really against Oklahoma State. But we know there are a lot more warts on that entire Oregon team, especially with them losing Will Stein.
26:47Right. That kind of really damper this entire offense.
26:50And now they got Timu Patrick Mahomes out there for the way.
26:54I thought I was mean earlier. The look at how much the offense has changed.
26:59Right. Of course, Willie Stein leaving sucks, but no Dante Moore.
27:02And now they can't get out of their own way.
27:05Right. That's how much this guy lost Illinois, dude.
27:08Like, yeah, with a backup QB, Illinois. Yeah. So, yeah, it's getting rough.
27:12Getting rough. You know what isn't rough, though? Basketball season because it's officially upon us.
27:17And there's a new way to trade called this new prediction market.
27:20Polly market. Polly market is a prediction market. It's really just a stock exchange for sports buying in and selling out on your terms.

27:46Again, that's FPPOD. When you sign up and you're going to get $25 free after you deposit just $10.
27:52I'm back up at the $107. And I know he's been one of our biggest followers since our preseason rankings.
27:58Just 20 receiving yards in back-to-back weeks of SEC play.
28:01But Cam Coleman, give me him. I know there's questions.
28:04He's being outproduced by Ryan Wingo right now. And really everything but touchdowns and red zone targets.
28:09The thing is, though, is I think Cam Coleman is such a red zone threat.
28:14I think he has the size-speed combo at 6'3", 200 to separate downfield.
28:18The hands need to be a little bit softer, right?
28:21No one's debating that. But I think the biggest concern now is is Coleman maybe just a really good number two wide
28:28receiver in the NFL instead of these high target earners that we thought he was going to be.
28:34Because I think he's kind of maybe rolled himself out of being a Malik Neighbors, a C.E.
28:39Lamb type where he's commanding a high volume of touches.
28:42But I still think he's going to get those high value touches in the end zone down the field.
28:48He dropped from three overall in our preseason rankings.
28:51So I'm willing to ride with him here at seven.
28:54But Boggs, you've watched every single snap of Cam Coleman this year.
28:57How do you think he projects to the next level?
29:00I mean, very high still, right? And this is a down year, and I understand that.
29:05It's down year for Arch, too. So it's not all on Cam Coleman and just the Texas offense as a whole.
29:12And they may be passing less after seeing this run game emerge against Ole Miss.
29:17So he may not have a lot of plays left to really impress scouts this season.
29:21But I think the thing with Cam Coleman that has moved him down the board, right?
29:26Because he was like a top five pick. He was behind Jeremiah Smith, right?
29:31Like there's a clear line, obviously. But Cam Coleman was up at the top of that right behind Jeremiah Smith.
29:37He's not anymore. He's definitely behind Charlie Becker. You can argue that he's behind a couple other wide receivers as well.
29:43But I think he's raw. He had a dead coaching staff at Auburn for his first couple seasons.
29:49And now he comes into Texas and they're trying to work through other issues right now.
29:54And, you know, obviously a couple of really big misses on a national stage.
29:58That one that led to a pick against Ohio State was brutal.
30:02But this dude gets college open, right? Like where no defenders around him by 10 yards.
30:07He's standing in the end zone waving his hand and just has the size.
30:11He's going to make every contested catch. He's crazy at that.
30:15So there's just a lot of rawness to his game that can be ironed out at the next level.
30:21And really he can develop into being because right now I think his floor is just a really, really strong field stretcher.
30:27Right. But there is so much more in there that he can be if he is coached up right.
30:33Pat, keep us in Austin with the 108. Yeah, this is this is going to be the controversial one.
30:39I'm going to take Arch Manning. And I know some people think he's trash.
30:43And but I will tell you this. Steve Sarkeesian could bench Arch Manning this week and not play him again at all season.
30:51And I'm convinced that if Arch came out, he'd still be a top 10 draft pick.
30:56Like, I guarantee it. Like the tools he has to work with tons of arm talent and mobility and toughness.
31:02I think he's going to provide rushing value for fantasy.
31:05He had 10 touchdown runs in 2025. And there are some plays where you watch him and he'll stand tall in the
31:12pocket and climb the pocket and deliver just a strike to someone 20 yards downfield.
31:16And you'll think, oh, yeah, this guy's winning a Super Bowl someday.
31:20And then there are plays where he looks like a day three draft pick.
31:24Like he absolutely needs to work on his accuracy and clean up the mechanics.
31:29And he's not having a good season. Seven interceptions in seven games.
31:32Barely averaging about, what, 215 yards a game. 7.7 yards per attempt.
31:36Like a guy with this sort of talent should be doing better than he's been doing.
31:41But, man, there's still some upside to dream on here.
31:44Been a lot of costly mistakes, right? The deep ball has not been on.
31:48He's, I felt like, overfired and just overshot wide receivers consistently.
31:52We saw that again there on Saturday where they almost got a hold of Ole Miss because of some of those mistakes.
31:59That said, Boggs, you and I were both outside, had him outside of our top 20 when we did our updated rankings last week.
32:06But I think part of that is we expect, whether it's Texas, maybe it's somewhere else, that we do get one more
32:13run of Arch Manning in college football. How do you think the end of his collegiate career ultimately plays out here?
32:19That Ole Miss, probably. I mean, if they don't win out and make the tournament, if they win out and make the
32:26tournament, he's done after this year, I think, regardless of where Texas ends, right?
32:31Because it's like, what are you going to stay in college another year for?
32:35You're going to get drafted on traits, just like Fitzy said.
32:38And you played well enough down the stretch to get your team into the playoff.
32:43So he's going to put a lot of really good film up if the Longhorns do go undefeated down the stretch.
32:49But if they lose two more games, the Longhorns go eight and four, and there's chatter about him maybe not going in
32:56the first round because of that, then maybe he stays another year.
33:00I don't really see that. I do think regardless, he comes out this year.
33:04But I do think if he plays another year, it might not be at Texas, which wouldn't be that shocking.
33:10It really depends on if Sark is still at Texas, right?
33:14Because if Sark is gone, I think maybe he goes.
33:17But I do think, like Fitzy said, there's no other quarterback in this class that you would take on traits above Arch.
33:24Mastemaker, right? Mastemaker is kind of the same thing, but he's produced at a higher level.
33:29You can argue for him. I would say that he isn't anywhere close to the potential running potential that Arch has, right?
33:35Like this dude, his freshman year took one and they clocked him at 21 miles per hour.
33:41That's like, that is so fast for a quarterback.
33:44There are receivers that don't run that fast, right?
33:46And he gets that from his mother. His mother was a track athlete, right?
33:51His dad was a wide receiver too. Dad was a wide receiver.
33:54He didn't get it from Uncle Peyton, that's for sure.
33:57He sure didn't, but he credits his mother for his speed.
34:01But obviously, the quarterback runs through his veins with all the Mannings.
34:05So I get it, like he probably would be evaluated differently if his name was Frank Smith, but it's not.
34:11It's Arch Manning. So we've seen a lot behind the name.
34:14We see the traits in him. I think like Fitzy said, I don't know if I would put him in the top
34:2110 no matter what, but I would put him in the first round no matter what.
34:26Whenever he comes out. Yeah. Yeah. We shall see.
34:29It's just a really fascinating topic, right? I have no idea what plays out in here for Arch.
34:34And I didn't want to take him because I wanted to see where he would go if I didn't take him as a total homer.
34:42So I could have taken him at my third pick and I decided not to.
34:47Well, here you go. You're back up on the clock with your third pick, Boggs.
34:51What do you have at the 109? Let's go with Nick Marsh, the wide receiver out of Indiana.
34:57I mean, size and speed. He has these crazy long strides that just eat up defensive backs.
35:02He has really improved his contested catch rate this season.
35:05He's 9 of 11. His yak has jumped from 4.8 at Michigan State.
35:09His first two seasons to 8.1 this year as well.
35:12And his drop percentage over is over 9% the first two seasons, but only two so far this year.
35:18So we can see steady growth moving to a different team and really, you know, being beyond the only option on offense
35:25like Michigan State just had him last year. But the one weakness I would say that Marsh has that I can see
35:32is like if a DB can stick to him, he's not very good in contested situations.
35:37Right. Okay. Which is kind of surprising for his size.
35:40But he doesn't. Most DBs don't stick with him.
35:43He gets open. And like I said, he eats those guys up with his long strides.
35:48And he has a pretty good release as well.
35:50So, you know, I know Seth is upset that maybe he needs to work on his feet at the boundary.
35:57Right. But lost you a bet. Lost you a bet a couple of weeks ago.
36:01But this dude is very he's a special player and, you know, would have been very high.
36:06I mean, I think I would have taken him over any wide receivers in 2026.
36:11So even over Carnell Tate and I like Carnell Tate a lot.
36:15I think I'd rather have Nick Marsh and, you know, we're on the fourth wide receiver here.
36:20Yeah. You know, and at least he knew that his feet, his one foot was out of bounds.
36:26Right. Like he called it. It's not like he was arguing and, oh, I was in bounds.
36:31Like he knew right away. So, you know, I'll give him some grace there.
36:35But Fitz, the interesting thing is this is now two years in a row.
36:40We've had two pretty highly touted IU wide receivers.
36:42Elijah Zerra obviously did not live up to the billing as of now in the pros.
36:47His draft stock ultimately sinking into day three there.
36:50Do you think Nick Marsh has the goods to land himself somewhere in day one or at least early day two in the NFL draft this year?
36:58I think so. Professional route runner. Just very good at that.
37:02And I was it was going to be interesting to see how he would do playing alongside Charlie Becker.
37:08And like Marsh has really impressed me this season.
37:10And Seth, you just cannot come out on the right side of Indiana receivers getting their feet down.
37:16There was Omar Cooper making a spectacular catch to get his foot down against Penn State.
37:21You're Nittany Lions. Ask him about the punt for a safety.
37:24Oh, yeah. I've been on some bad, bad sides of some IU beats.
37:28But yeah, I bet him three weeks in a row.
37:32So they're back. I finally got on my good side last week.
37:35It was down to the wire in overtime, but we got it done.
37:39So, yeah. Yeah, it has been a fun run out there with IU, Sig Sigmund, Eddie and the boys.
37:45We'll see what happens for Nick Marsh, Charlie Becker and company down the stretch here at the 110 guys.
37:51I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to saddle up Trinidad Chambliss.
37:55Listen, look, I know the big thing that's holding him back is that Trinidad has taken a similar path to Cam Ward, right?
38:02Coming from D2 Fair State. But the thing is that I think the sample size we've gotten from Trinidad at the SEC
38:09level in almost one and a half seasons now is worth way more than what we saw from Cam Ward two years
38:16in the dissolved Pac-12 and one in the ACC in Miami, right?
38:19And right now, Trinidad, he was third in the country last year in passing, and he had to unseat Austin Simmons before he even got to start.
38:28He took Ole Miss on an all-time CFP run and just had some jaw-dropping, dazzling plays.
38:33And now he's essentially doing it all over again in 2026.
38:36The only thing is he has way worse of a supporting cast at wide receivers.
38:41He's been without Kawan Lacy for a large portion this season as well.
38:45And the defense does not have to snuff either.
38:48So, like, I just can't tell why, not to put you on blast, Fitzy, but watching that game last week, there's no
38:54way that I could think Arch is a better quarterback prospect than Trinidad at this point.
38:59Trinidad has the better arm. He is better, way better downfield passing than Arch.
39:04I think he's better at extending the play and still keeping his eyes downfield.
39:08And I think the guys just love to play with him, right?
39:12So I like him also because, like, maybe he doesn't run quite as much as Arch, but he still runs, right?
39:18And, you know, found the end zone six times on the ground this year, 16 passing touchdowns as well.
39:24So, Fitz, is it the age? He's going to be 25 in August.
39:28Is it the Cam Ward thing? Or is it maybe just something else that the market is not adjusting to Trinidad quick enough right now?
39:36I mean, the age, is he 6'1"? 6'1"? A little undersized, yeah.
39:40Yeah, so... Between 5'11 and 6'1"? Yeah, that's the thing.
39:43But, I mean, I'm not holding the height against him because when I watch him play, like, I see a lot of Russell Wilson.
39:50I was there for Russell Wilson's one year at Wisconsin, and it was spectacular.
39:54And Trinidad Chambliss is that type of playmaker. So, you know, I get the idea that he's a better passer than Arch Manning.
40:02It's hard to argue against that. I just think Arch has the deeper potential toolkit.
40:06Yeah, that could be true. Boggs, what were your thoughts here on Trinidad Chambliss, who just continues to really rise up our rankings?
40:13Because preseason, because of some of these concerns, like the age, like the size, we had him outside our top 20.
40:20And now, like right now, I thought about drafting him ahead of Cam Coleman, honestly.
40:24Yeah, dude, this was the next guy on the list for me, for sure.
40:29And I kind of regretted taking Nick Marsh over him, to be honest with you.
40:33The Russell Wilson comp is so perfect. It's so perfect.
40:37You know, it really is. This is a dude that will get a little bit relegated to maybe the back end of
40:43the first round because of his height. Right. I think he's probably going to come in at six feet.
40:49I don't think he's going to be 5'10". Just not a Pavia.
40:53Yeah. Don't give us a Pavia. Yeah. He's not going to be 5'10", or 5'9", or whatever, but he's also not 6'1".
41:00It's pretty clear. I don't care. Right? He makes every throw.
41:03He has his team in games. Even with less talent surrounding him.
41:07He brought his team all the way back to tie it against the Longhorns last week.
41:12Right? On the road. That's an incredible start. Yeah.
41:15That's a great game that he had last week, even with some mistakes.
41:19Right? So, this is one of the better quarterbacks in this class.
41:22I don't care about the size. He's got enough arm to make every throw.
41:27He doesn't make massive mistakes. So, I just, I really think that Shambliss is being a little bit overlooked.
41:33It's not all his fault. It's a little bit of size stuff, but it's also a little bit of just how many quarterbacks are coming out.
41:41And they're all pretty good. Right? Like, you know, these guys are all, you know, bumping up against Mendoza to go ahead
41:47of him if they came out last year. So, you know, it's tough to know how many QBs are going to go
41:54and how high they are in the first round.
41:57Yeah. I'm not a scout. I'm not a film junkie.
42:00I don't pose to be one. But if I came to that game last week between Texas and Ole Miss, and I
42:07was a scout looking at these quarterbacks, it's hard not to walk away thinking, wow, Trinidad Shambliss was the more impressive one there.
42:14On Saturday. Fitz, let's keep it moving. We've only drafted right now quarterbacks and wide receivers.
42:19Does that change at the 111? Yeah, we got to break the seal on running backs here, Seth.
42:24Jaden Baugh, running back Florida. Six feet, 228 pounds.
42:27He is built to be an NFL workhorse. Baugh has had three games this season with 25 or more carries.
42:33Last year in Florida's big rivalry game against Florida State, Jaden Baugh had 38 carries for 266 yards and two touchdowns in a 40 to 21 Gators victory.
42:42He's averaging 109 rushing yards per game this season and has 13 touchdowns in seven games.
42:47Baugh is just rugged and powerful and a load to bring down.
42:51He's also very patient. Knows how to read his blockings.
42:54I think the Le'Veon Bell comparisons are inevitable. One of the small complaints about this class of 2027, which is going to
43:01be a fantastic class, is that a lot of these running backs in the class are not pass catchers.
43:07And since Dynasty Leagues are PPR leagues, that's kind of a problem.
43:10Baugh is actually a pretty good pass catcher. He had 33 receptions in 2025.
43:15He's not going to be Alvin Kamara, but he is the least competent in that regard on top of his workhorse potential as a runner.
43:22Yeah, I completely agree. It's been just a sensational season.
43:25At one point, he was in the Heisman conversation.
43:28Did ended up, you know, getting shut down there.
43:31Was that a Missouri game? 12 for 13. 12 carries 13 yards.
43:35Mizzou stuffed him. Yeah, that was the tough game log there.
43:38But in general, Baugh's been really impressive. In fact, I think he's jumped, you know, over Kwon Lacy as all of our
43:45RB1s at this point in the process. So, Boggs, keep us rolling at the 112.
43:50What do you have? I'll take Kwon Lacy. I know he's still hurt, but I mean, just look at the difference in
43:56Ole Miss's offense before he went out to when he went out just in the Texas game last week.
44:02Right? Like they were they looked pretty good with him.
44:05And then 307 attempts in 2025. He couldn't be stopped.
44:08He has incredible contact balance and he just takes a hit, rolls off.
44:12He had a thousand and ten yards after contact last season.
44:16That's over a grand after contact. He was incredible.
44:19He's lost some steam because of the missed games and the shoulder injuries bothered him a little bit.
44:24We'll have to see how that, you know, when the medicals come back during the combine and all that stuff, like how
44:31much that really does affect his draft stock. Because that's a serious thing.
44:35Right? Guy is missing games here. But I think he's getting hurt now.
44:39It's, you know, too many touches from the previous season.
44:42307 from the previous year. And like Fitzy said, this is a guy that has not been a good pass catcher.
44:49I mean, he can catch the ball out of the backfield.
44:52He doesn't have like hands issues or anything, but he doesn't run a diverse route tree at all.
44:58It's a lot of, you know, run to the flat, wait for the ball and then go.
45:03It's a lot of small curls and his pass blocking has not been great either.
45:08So he does have, you know, a big chunk of his of his game that needs to be improved.
45:13But if we're talking between the tackles, this is one of the better dudes.
45:18Great, great contact balance. So and has carried a massive workload for a team before.
45:22So as long as this shoulder injury isn't, you know, something that is really scary or going to force him to miss
45:29the rest of the season and the, you know, the combine and lead up to the draft like a surgery or something.
45:36I think he's going to have a he's going to be picked very high among running backs here.
45:42And, you know, potentially a dude that can get in there and have a massive workload to start.
45:47Yeah, someone who came out of really nowhere last year, but he certainly stepped up in a big way for Ole Miss in that workhorse role.
45:55And we'll see what he can do down the stretch because they've also found some success now working in sophomore running back Makai Frazier.
46:03So, you know, I feel like we're getting a deal, though, like we were talking earlier in the preseason that maybe Lacey
46:09would be going up as high as three overall.
46:12Now you're getting at the end of the first round just kind of, again, speaks the depth of this class.
46:18We're going to keep it rolling into the second round.

47:00So make sure you ring the bell so you don't miss your chance to claim this championship belt and flex on your entire league.
47:08All right, the second round begins, and at 2-0-1, go ahead and give me Tradez Green, tight end out of LSU.
47:14And even though some of this class has really underwhelmed, we just said, hey, you're getting Kwon Lacy at the 1-12.
47:21You're also getting a 6'7", 240-pound monster tight end out of 2-0-1.
47:25And this is a guy who's also been banged up for about half the season, right?
47:30Played the first three games, went out in the LSU game, did not return, or the Ole Miss game, did not return in that one.
47:37But he did get back last week, which was very good to see.
47:41But as a whole, he's averaging 4.8 receptions, 68 yards, and a half a touchdown per game.
47:47And I think there's just a ton of ways to use this guy at the next level.
47:52Put him down the middle on seams. Put him in the red zone on the outside on fade routes or in the
47:59backfield like we saw Lane Kiffin do earlier this season against La Tech.
48:03So just really happy to see this guy back out on the field.
48:07And I think he can further push his draft stock up if he, one, stays healthy, and two, if the Tigers can
48:13get back on track for a college football playoff berth.
48:17Bitsy, over to you for the 2-0-2. Ahmad Hardy, running back Missouri.
48:20Hardy hasn't played this season. He was shot in the upper leg at a concert in May.
48:25But it appears that Hardy is going to return to practice this week.
48:30So it looks like we will get to see him this season after all.
48:34Last year, Hardy ran for 1,649 yards and 16 touchdowns.
48:37He averaged 6.4 yards per carry. Had a 300-yard rushing day against Mississippi State.
48:41He is another one of these guys who doesn't really catch passes, though.
48:45I think he had six receptions last year. But, no, Hardy is pretty prototypical size, like 5'10", 210 pounds.
48:51Not blazing fast. And, again, doesn't catch passes. But, Hardy is just so good at making people miss and bouncing off contact.
48:58The contact balance is just exceptional. You almost never see a defender square him up.
49:03He is just a very talented runner. Yeah, I'm really interested to see what happens here.
49:08He is only a junior. So, you know, with the 5-for-5 role, he does have a couple more years of eligibility.
49:14And that's even if he doesn't redshirt this year.
49:17I thought maybe that might be the route we were heading.
49:20So, kind of a qualifier here that Hardy is a candidate, I think, to come back.
49:25But it's interesting because they also have Jamal Roberts in that backfield.
49:29It's been an absolute stud right now. So, Hardy is definitely one, I think, that could come out of this picture completely.
49:36Or it could be an absolute value here at the 202.
49:39Boggs, over to you for 203. Yeah, those last two picks, man.
49:43Trades Green, probably outside of Jeremiah Smith and Arch Manning, the next guy you're drafting strictly on traits and size, right?
49:49Yeah, right. So good. Just a monster. We just need to see a little more production from him.
49:55And yeah, I mean, just he is a monster.
49:58My guy is also a tight end here. Ahmad Hardy, too.
50:01Like, Ahmad Hardy, as soon as I say he's off my top 20 because we haven't seen him practice, we don't know, we get the update.
50:09So, everyone, you're welcome. That was clearly my magic that worked there.
50:13But I'm going to go with Jamari Johnson, the tight end out of Oregon.
50:17And we saw Kenyon's D get drafted. But all I could watch down the stretch with Oregon was Jamari Johnson in the playoff had these massive games.
50:26And he had, I believe, over 80 yards and a score in the national title game, too.
50:31Just a huge season for Jamari Johnson. But he is a former quarterback converting to tight end here.
50:36So, we've barely scratched the surface of what this guy can really do.
50:40He knows where to be all the time because he played quarterback.
50:44Obviously, you have to know everyone's role all the time.
50:47So, he approaches with that mindset. But he is a mismatch at 6'5", 257 with his speed for defenses, specifically in the seam.
50:54And he can inline block. He's still learning, but he's already doing it fine.
50:59Like, you know, I'd say he's okay at it.
51:01He's not a guy that has to line up and be a big slot only like an Isaiah Likely.
51:07He can do a little bit of both, right?
51:10And he's still learning that position. Natural athlete. And he's going to make defenders miss in space.
51:15He really just needs to learn nuance, right? That's the biggest missing piece of his game is catching the ball in traffic.
51:22That you get from practice. So, I think it's that.
51:25And the injury early in the season and now missing Dante Moore, obviously, are going to be marks against him moving forward.
51:32Like I said, a lot of really good prospects that are banged up right now that I'm drafting here.
51:38And Jamari Johnson is one of them. But, yeah, I mean, I think these two tight ends would have been 1-2 to
51:45me by a lot in the 2026 class and offer a lot of upside here.
51:49Especially here at the 203. And, you know, Jamari Johnson's been one of the few bright spots on an Oregon team that
51:56has very, very much underperformed this season. And now, you know, getting into some off-the-field hijinks as a wide receiver core, it seems like, as well.
52:04Let's keep it moving here at the 204 where I'm taking Austin Simmons quarterback out of Missouri.
52:09And what a ride it's been for this young man.
52:13I mean, he was Lane Kiffin's chosen four-star recruit.
52:15He waited his turn behind Jackson Dart only to have his job taken by Trinidad last year when he got injured.
52:22And now he comes over to Columbia, Missouri, where he's put the Tigers back on the map with two of the biggest
52:29wins in that program's recent history since coming into the SEC.
52:32And he's completing 63.2% of his passes for 253.3 yards per game.
52:36He has a 14-2 TD to interception ratio. And I get that Simmons isn't the most mobile guy.
52:41He's left-handed. So I think that's going to scare off some dynasty managers who have, like, shades of Michael Penix Jr.
52:48And the comps that he brings. But this is still a guy.
52:52He's ideal size, 6'4", 220. And I think the biggest concern for Simmons here is it's kind of the same thing we
52:58saw with Ty Simpson or with Anthony Richardson. He has nine career college starts.
53:03So that's an era where you really don't want to be in sometimes.
53:07It's not a very large sample size. And he does have eligibility left.
53:11So another guy could come back to school. But, you know, he's been pushing himself up into the first round of NFL mock drafts.
53:18And he's got some big-time games coming up against Texas, Georgia, Kentucky, and Oklahoma.
53:22So those matchups either likely make Simmons look like an absolute bargain here at the 204 or a huge big-time reach.
53:29I'm willing to take the gamble at 204. And Fitz, back to you at the 205.
53:34KJ Duff, wide receiver Rutgers. He's either 6'5 or 6'6", depending on who you're listening to.
53:39225 pounds. Huge. Knows how to use his size.
53:42Duff is just dominant at the catch point. Has a ridiculous catch radius.
53:46And he's a bully. Like, he knows how to use his size to just, like, physically dominate much smaller defenders.
53:52Not a burner. He's probably going to be a 4'6 guy when he runs at the combine.
53:57You will not care about his speed. Because he has nine touchdowns this year and is going to score a lot of touchdowns in the NFL.
54:05I think Plaxico Burris is a pretty apt comparison.
54:08And Burris had a pretty good NFL career. The Duff off the board there at the 205.
54:13Scott Big Time Bogman, you're back on the clock.
54:16I'm going to go with Ryan Coleman-Williams. 6'176". So, slender prospect from Alabama.
54:20But consensus five-star high school prospect. Some of the best highlight films that you'll ever see is Ryan Coleman-Williams.
54:26And he's one of the best separators in college football.
54:29The speed, man. He uses it everywhere. He uses it to separate at the line.
54:34He uses it after the catch. The speed is crazy from him.
54:37In and out of breaks, right? And he's lined up all over the place.
54:42He's played inside and outside. So, he can really do anything.
54:45The knocks on him. Two concussions over the last two seasons.
54:48He's currently injured. The light frame will probably push him inside in the NFL more often than not to a slot guy.
54:55But a lot of slot guys with massive, massive roles in the NFL.
54:59And Ryan Coleman-Williams, if he can quit dropping the ball and bulk up a little bit, this dude's ceiling has no limit.
55:06He is crazy fast. Especially because Ryan Coleman-Williams is a prospect that can play inside and outside.
55:11We've seen teams deploy him in different ways depending on what the scheme was that season.
55:16So, excited. You know, I agree with you, Boggs.
55:19It's really a health thing. It's can you bulk up a little bit, get that frame a little bit bigger heading into the next level.
55:27And not lose the speed. Can't lose the speed.
55:30Yeah. Yeah. And for me, I'm going to keep the wide receiver run rolling at the 207.
55:35It's Wyatt Young, wide receiver out of Oklahoma State.
55:38And Fitz stood on business to the top. He took Mess to Maker at two overall.
55:43So, I'm going to go ahead and share some love with his top wide receiver for the past two years here.
55:49And look, Wyatt Young went over 1,200 yards, 10 touchdowns a year ago at North Texas.
55:54And on pace to do it again in the Big 12 in Stillwater after scoring in six straight games for this kid.
56:01And he is six foot. He's 200 pounds, under-recruited wide receiver who's playing out of the slot almost entirely.
56:07So, he's going to get a lot of Cooper Cup comparisons, right?
56:10And I think that's fair. But I think that's the high end, right?
56:14And like super high end. Because Cooper Cup, borderline, I mean, we were talking about Hall of Fame wide receivers before we started this program.
56:22I think he's in that conversation with what he did, winning the Triple Crown that year, winning the Super Bowl MVP.
56:29But I think you're more or less realistically looking at like a Hunter Renfro type of career here for Wyatt Young.
56:35Where it might take him a couple years to be an impact player.
56:39But I think he could absolutely eat in PPR leagues by year three or four.
56:44And while it's not a direct comp too, I thought actually, you know, looking at Wyatt Young and really how he profiles here.
56:51Parker Washington was kind of another guy that came to mind.
56:54Undersized, scrappy slot wide receiver. And the reason I like the Washington comp is because he can also explode downfield.
57:01And that's what we've seen Wyatt Young do here where he's a little bit more explosive than you're given slot wide receivers.
57:07So, you know, I love getting a discount here on Wyatt Young.
57:11And this is a guy that I think is going to have a really decorated career.
57:16It might just take some time. So I'm going to stash him there at the 207 and send it back to Fitzy for the 208.
57:24Nate Frazier, running back Georgia, whose calling card is elite sub 4-4 speed.
57:28He is Devon HN type speed, but in a bigger body.
57:31Nate Frazier is 5'10", 2'10". His feet are just impossibly quick, like Barry Sanders type feet.
57:36I can't believe how fast this dude's feet move.
57:39Now, his numbers have not been dazzling. He was just under 1,000 yards in 2025.
57:44Although Georgia does use multiple backs. They're using multiple backs this year.
57:47He's only played five games this season. He's been dealing with a rib issue.
57:52Only has 35 carries, although he's averaging 6.6 yards per carry and has five touchdowns.
57:56He is going to be back. I think he's finally fully healthy this week.
58:01Durability, kind of a question. The ability to handle a big workload is a question.
58:05Pass catching potential, we'll see. But man, this guy is a playmaker and he is a threat to take it to the
58:12house every time he gets the ball. And just, I beg people to watch Georgia and watch how fast this guy's feet are.
58:19Because it's just fun to watch Nate Frazier run.
58:22Yeah, hopefully they can get him, you know, back up and ripping.
58:26It was a very inefficient day for him last time out.
58:29Dowdle has really started to, you know, kind of be the more productive back in the dogs backfield.
58:35But in general, Nate Frazier, just a great prospect overall.
58:38Hopefully he can return to form here down the stretch run.
58:41Boggs, where are you going at the 209, man?
58:44To the 2025 Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, LJ Martin running back from BYU.
58:496-2-2-20. He uses that big hulking frame to punish defenders.
58:52He knows exactly where to be on every run play.
58:55There's no dancing behind the line for him. He hits a hole, he bursts, and he runs people over.
59:01Nice burst when he gets around the corner, too.
59:04He still needs to work on catching the ball, as Fitz, he alluded to.
59:08Another dude that hasn't had a lot of, you know, deep routes.
59:12He has had some deep catches, but mostly he sticks near the line.
59:16Surprisingly weak pass blocking grades for his size as well.
59:19And he, again, another dude on the shelf with a high ankle sprain currently.
59:23But one of the leaders of this BYU offense.
59:26Very surprised they won and beat Notre Dame without him.
59:29Yeah, yeah. I agree completely with you. LJ Martin, someone.
59:32Hopefully they'll get back as well because then the next week, let down Spock got him, right?
59:37UCF took him down. So LJ Martin certainly needed in that backfield next alongside Bear Bachmeier.
59:42And I'm going to go right back to the quarterback position, guys.
59:46I feel like you're leaving some value out there.
59:49So I'm going to take Jane Maeva here for USC.
59:52And look, I know it has not been a perfect season for this guy.
59:56He just got shut down by Fitz's Badgers out there in Madison.
60:00But I think the thing about Maeva here is that he could be a sneaky guy.
60:05One of those players who goes in round two, but ends up being one of the best quarterbacks in this class because
60:12you look at the ideal Bill Parcells quarterback. This is exactly what this guy is out of USC.
60:17He's a senior. He has at least three years of starting experience, really three and a half by the time this season finishes.
60:2423 plus career wins Parcells has on that list.
60:27He has 30 career completion percentage above 60% is what Parcells looks for.
60:3164.5% completion rate and better than a two to one interception, touchdown interception ratio as well.
60:36So I think Maeva here not only is coming at a discount, but he's also the ideal size at 6'4", 230.
60:43And he can really be a versatile player that he can run whatever scheme you want.
60:48This year, we've seen a little bit more run heavy in certain games where it's an RPO based offense.
60:54Play action is very, very frequent. He's using Mark Bowman over the middle, King Miller in the backfield and getting those freshman wide receivers involved.
61:01But last year, you're seeing more of the spread type of offense where he's leaning on Makai Lemon out of the slot.
61:08Jacoby Lane down deep there. And he does all this in some really decent rhythm when he gets cooking.
61:14So, you know, I think a coach will ultimately fall in love with him in the second round like Kellen Moore did
61:21with Tyler Shuck a few years ago. And everyone's gonna be surprised when he does go in the top 50 picks.
61:27But I love this kid out of USC right there.
61:30He would have gone to the Jets if he had come out last year, right?
61:35Like that's he's pretty good and he's lost in the shuffle this year, which is kind of crazy.
61:41Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, been decent at times again, not, you know, didn't show up against Oregon really didn't show up against your Badgers last week fits.
61:49But Maeva is definitely someone on my card there.
61:52Who do you have the two 11? And I admire my other took a beating at Wisconsin and finished the game.
61:58Like he got pounded and showed his toughness in that one.
62:02I've got Deuce Alexander wide receiver for Ole Miss already.
62:05He has 610 yards and five touchdowns in his first seven games this year.
62:09He's six feet, 180, a little on the small side, but this guy can fly.
62:14He's going to probably run something close to a 4-3 at the combine.
62:18He is a dangerous vertical threat and he has very good hands.
62:22Like he's a little Carnell Tate like in his ability to just haul in tough balls downfield.
62:27Also a pretty good route runner. I think the one drawback with him is the size that he's only 180 pounds.
62:33So he's probably not going to be a high volume receiver, but I do think he can be like a better version of Xavier worthy.
62:41You know, Deuce Alexander, I owe him an apology because coming in this season, I was like, I just don't like this Ole Miss receiving core.
62:49It's Deuce Alexander to ratio fields. A couple of other guys coming over from the ACC, but Deuce is absolutely impressed, man.
62:56So it's been really fun to watch him just, you know, soar up the dynasty rookie rankings here.
63:02And Boggs, speaking of a wide receiver soaring up the dynasty rookie rankings, round us out with the 212, man.
63:08Ryan Wingo. I understand that my guy, Ryan Wingo gets overlooked constantly, but I think we need to remember this was a five-star prospect.
63:1532nd, actually seventh among wide receivers when he entered out of high school.
63:19So a very, very good prospect number two from the state of Missouri and, um, you know, six, two, two 14 speed on speed on speed.
63:27They love putting him behind blockers and letting him go.
63:30Uh, they use him on jet sweeps and motions and pop passes, all kinds of stuff that the NFL has implemented a lot.
63:37So a lot of, uh, coaches are going to like him for that.
63:42And he gets just college open deep so many times.
63:45I mean, there's a lot of weapons to account for, for the longhorns.
63:49I understand that, but because he goes out and he has effort in blocking all the time, a lot of times he
63:55goes to sets up to fake a block and then gets open deep because they just assume he's out there blocking again.
64:02So, uh, high motor, high effort, great frame gets open a lot.
64:06The one knock on him, uh, is not a lot of route nuance and contested catches.
64:11Those are the things that he really needs to work on, right?
64:15Contested catches is probably the biggest thing. Uh, the wrong, the route nuance will come and also doesn't necessarily need it with
64:21his speed, but this dude is open downfield by himself with no one else around him a lot.
64:27So a lot of that goes to his teammates and stuff like that.
64:31But a lot of that is because he gets lost in the shuffle because of his high effort.
64:37They think they're just, uh, a lot like that Ben Skoronic play we saw a couple of weeks ago.
64:42Uh, he gets, you know, people think he's out there just doing the dirty work and he gets wide open.
64:49So really appreciate what Wingo has done and wanted to put a focus on him at the end here.
64:55And we had some quarterbacks. We have no Levitt, no saying no sellers, right?
64:59These guys are having down years and they could still be on this board and no one would be shocked.
65:05Yeah. I think maybe at least saying is a good candidate to come back here.
65:10Just the way this season's ended for him, but, and, and even Levitt to Levitt still has a year of eligibility that
65:16he could come back and play one more, but you know, he's got a couple talented quarterbacks in that LSU Tigers, uh,
65:23QB room that he's gonna have to fight if he does.
