0:00What's going on guys? It's Nick here back with another video. It's Monday.
0:02See what time it is. Time for Minecraft Draft Monday. This week we're going to do 10 team league from the 10 pick uh
0:07full PPR. We'll do composite ADP uh and then just like a regular uh roster setting here. 200 MAC, two receiver, and
0:14the one flex spot. Uh one shout out first. Underdog uh in beta right now. We have underdog mockdrafting on the website now. I want people to test it
0:23out and just let me know uh how things kind of look. I'll make adjustments from there. So, uh, every mockdraft Monday,
0:30uh, we have just a general topic we maybe want to go over. And this one's the dead zone. I'll bring it up when we
0:36get to round three because there's no running back dead zone in round one or two. But we'll kind of talk about what
0:42that is, like what even the running back dead zone would be. Uh, and if we think it might kind of be there this season.
0:47So, at the 10-11 turn, round one, two turn. Again, we're in full PPR in this one. We can see everything on the right
0:54over here. I always prefer leaving rounds one and two with a running back.
1:00I understand sometimes the value can be there. Theoretically there's a chance that JSM would have fallen to us at this pick. Um maybe we could have gone JSN
1:07and Amra. Again, we can't because it didn't happen. But even as enticing as that would be, and it would be very
1:12enticing to start off JSN, Amanra St.
1:15Brown because of how steep the drop off is and the potential dead zone we'll talk about in a second. I just do not
1:23like teams, even when it seems like the value is there, that leave rounds one and two without having one running back
1:30at least. You don't have to double dip.
1:32I think double dipping at a late first round, uh especially in a 12 team league, double dipping at two running backs in late first round is a great
1:38strategy this season because of what is typically there, but we got to take at least one. So, we're looking at this
1:43list. Um there is kind of one of that top tier that I've talked about uh of Saquon, Ken Walker, uh Chase Brown, and
1:52Martin Hampton. Uh one is left in full PPR. So when we go to Ken Walker in full PPR, we don't know as much with
2:00receptions. Seems like it's going to be there, but he's not going to challenge, you know, the top end guys for receptions. And same thing with Amarian
2:05Hampton. Like I think the receptions will be there for Ken Walker, be there for um Amaran Hampton, but they're not going to have 60 65 70 receptions in the
2:15range of outcomes. Uh Chase Brown is set up this season to where it's like, you know, that offensive line is the best
2:20offensive line they've had uh in the basically the Joe Burrow era, finally a good offensive line this season. Um if Joe Burrow can stay healthy, Chase
2:27Brown, who was like a top five running back with Burrow healthy last season, has a chance to be a top five running
2:33back, top three running back this year.
2:35uh he's going to be featured plenty of receptions and touchdowns. Uh maybe not upside to go for like 1500 rushing yards. So in half PPR scoring I have Ken
2:43Walker over Chase Brown, but once you flip on full PPR, the certainty there for the receptions is too great. So personally, I would go with Chase Brown
2:51at this spot. Um and then I would probably split it and also go with with Almanra. Like Amanra is just such a
2:58locked in pick. Amazing in full PPR scoring. Um I don't think you need to go to running back. So, that's what I would
3:05personally do. Uh, so we'll grab Alman Raw and then we'll go in and grab uh Chase Brown. Okay, we do that and then
3:10I'll pull up the draft board. You guys can see everything that has occurred so far. So, we go Almondra and Chase Brown.
3:15Uh, there's an even mixture, maybe a little bit more wide receivers, but even mixture of running back and receiver.
3:20Saquon Hampton, Achan, Ken Walker, and Derk Henry are gone. That is kind of the end of that top tier. Now we're getting
3:26into C uh more of the like 12 team league round three uh running backs earlier shift in in 10 team leagues. And
3:33then my wide receiver uh Jefferson Lamb um Rasheed Rice goes in round two.
3:37That's too early for him. Nico Collins, AJ Brown, Drake London, those are all round two wide receivers. Uh then you get into the round three wide receivers
3:44Olve Pickins and then Malik Neighbors does go at uh 29 here. Um, the computers are working off of, again, like I said,
3:54composite ADP mixed with my projections.
3:56So, my projections are pulling neighbors up. I think the composite ADP right now, uh, is like upper 30s formal league neighbors. If you are in an actual
4:05draft, I've been in many actual drafts right now. He's going to two, three, turn 12 team league. I've seen him go
4:10anywhere from pick like 20 to 27 right now. He's not really leaving um he's not really leaving 27 honestly, but I would
4:19say like he's also not typically creeping into the top 20, but as that general ADP rises, people might get a little bit more aggressive. I've said
4:26that like basically I think in this general range of like pickings Nico like kind of sandwiched right in between them is a good spot for him. Um but if
4:35everything remains positive, there's a chance we get him right behind Lamb and Jefferson a tier behind. So, not like touching them in the draft, but
4:43basically after all those top end running backs are gone and you know after um probably Bower's gone as well.
4:49Uh I would that's where I'd head neighbors, but we just kind of have to see how the recovery goes. So, they go
4:53um Josh Allen goes and then Bowers, McBride, and Coulson Lovel off the board. Um Loveland always goes early in this because my projections like him. I
5:03think I need to add something in there to kind of pump the brakes on Lovelin for like the computers because you guys
5:07are never able to draft him in round four even though he typically does go in round four. So, I'll try and update
5:12something uh so the computer stopped taking Loveland so early. Okay, so here we are. Um if we look at quarterback, um
5:21as I've said for a while, if you don't end up getting Josh Allen, just wait. Um you don't need to draft Lamar right
5:26away. Typically, it's like round five is the beginning of that, but really round six, seven, and eight, that's where we want to be taking one of our
5:33quarterbacks, so we're not going to take that at the three- four turn. Uh, Lovelin is gone. So, at this point, we're just waiting a while. Um, I've
5:38been warming up a lot to Harold Fannon.
5:41Um, I like Leaporta. It'll be a little bit of correlation risk, but if we get Leaporta late enough, that's fine. Uh,
5:48you guys know I like KD, so we can wait.
5:50Those guys are going to go later on. So, this will be either a split running back receiver or double dipping at one of
5:55them. Uh if we look at wide receiver, Devontto Smith is a good pick. Z Flower is a good pick. Um there's definitely
6:01risk with uh Garrett Wilson at this spot. Uh Igbuka is a solid pick. Lad, like just great options. I feel like we
6:09probably I haven't looked at the running backs yet, but we probably want to load uh load in one of those to our team. Uh
6:15I wouldn't love skipping this entire range because they're just like so locked in. We know many of these guys are on great teams, great talents, great
6:24opportunity. like there's just no chance that they really have big under underperformances this season. At running back, uh Jeremiah Love is
6:32definitely a strong value here at the 3, four term, pick 30. Um you don't typically in a reddraft league see him
6:38fall this far. Um Bree Hall, I've moved Hall down. So, uh I did the running back rankings video. We had Bree Hall over
6:49Jeremiah Love. Um I don't know how it was in in full PPR. was in half PPR, but now even in half PPR, I've moved Bree
6:56Hall down a little bit. Um, as we basically talk about the dead zone. Now, the running back dead zone, I people
7:05define it in different ways. I would define it as a range of running back that is being propped up on perceived
7:11volume. You know, you go in rounds one uh and two, I'll pull back up the board here. Uh, and even into the round three
7:18that has gone right now. Um really we've talked about Derk Henry being kind of the end of those top tier of running
7:23backs. We know with a pretty high level of certainty every running back you see on the screen right now all this top
7:29what three 6 7 8 9 10 11 this top like 12 running back here um we know they're going to get the football like it's not
7:38perceived volume it's volume. We we know the vast majority of them are on great teams uh going to get the rock. They're
7:46great talents. We just we we kind of know that thing. So that's why they go this early. As we get into this range,
7:51Jeremiah Love is on a bottom three offense with like the worst, second worst strength schedule overall, but the worst through weeks one through 14.
7:59Breeze Hall is on the Jets. You know, we're excited about them this season potentially being okay, but it's still the Jets. Uh Kairen Williams, you know,
8:10lead touchdown guy on potentially number one scoring team in the NFL, but Cororm could have literally a 5050 split. And the receptions, uh, we know for a fact
8:20are not going to be high. Uh, Cam Scataboo, the Giants are good, but they're still not an elite offense. Um, there's a theoretical chance they go
8:28after another back, but I don't think that's going to happen. Uh, I feel like he's maybe like the least dead zone of
8:32this group. Javonto Williams in a similar mold of Kyron Williams where it's like touchdown's going to be there, yard is going to be there, but they're
8:38really hyping up Jaden Blue seems like he's going to have a role this season.
8:41We know Javant Williams has zero role in the receiving game, so very much only an early down grinder. we're in full PPR.
8:47You know, what is the upside of someone who's only going to get carries and touchdowns and no receptions if we're adding on a point for everyone of those
8:54receptions? And so, you start working down the list and it's like I don't want to say that this is an entire dead zone
9:00range because there's also positives with every single one of these running backs. We know that Jeremiah Love was literally the third pick of the draft,
9:08is an exceptional talent, is great in the receiving game. like there are reasons they're going this early, but we do after this Derrick Henry, Ken Walker,
9:16Achan kind of range in this draft. Um I think in most drafts it's it's basically ending with Derrick Henry in all
9:21formats.
9:23There is much more risk and this range of running back is a little bit being propped up by the fact that people are
9:30scared to not draft a running back in these first four rounds. And so they're like, "All right, who's the next running
9:37back? I don't care that Kiren can't catch passes in full PPR. I don't care that Javvante does the same and does not
9:42catch passes. I don't care that, you know, the Giants were literally looking at Jeremiah Love and theoretically could go after a free agent at some point. I
9:49don't care that Jeremiah Love is literally like super super risky and they're confirming that they're going to go with Algier in a split with him. Uh
9:57Bree Hall, we don't know with Brillin Allen being healthy. Does he get more touches this season? Again, the Jets, we don't know if they're going to be
10:02amazing. So, you can argue that this general third round range of running back is being propped up a little bit too much. Uh, and so there are reasons
10:14you could avoid them. Having said all of that, I would probably still take one of them.
10:21I would not go too heavy into this range because also some of this range might be there at our 56 turn. Um, but I think
10:30basically the thinking is if we're going to be taking this general range of running back and we compare it to this
10:36range a little bit later, right? When we look at ADPs like 50 through 70, you know, couple rounds after this and we
10:43look at someone like Travon, Judkins, Bashaw, Tuin, um we can ask ourselves like what is David Montgomery like what is the difference between those guys and
10:54the Bree Hall and the Javvante and the Scataboo and maybe we can say there's not that much of a difference but
11:00there's a huge difference by ADP and if we look at other positions maybe the drop off um happens more significantly Again, that's the theory of the dead
11:09zone running back. Um, I don't think I would skip like I don't think I would go Devontto Smith and Z Flowers because the
11:16reverse is also true. Like wide receiver last couple seasons has been relatively flat. Um, that's been kind of because there have been elevated injuries at a
11:24position. Uh, and running back has been relatively healthy. But you could say the verse. You could say Dvontto Smith, Z Flowers, what's the difference between
11:30them and an Adams Waddle DJ Moore Parker Washington? you know, I think there is a difference. Uh, but again, you can kind
11:38of play it on both sides. So, that's a very long way of saying if this were my league, I would split it again. I'd take
11:44Jeremiah Love and then I would take Devontto Smith and I would go into this round five six turn with two running
11:49backs, two receivers. Um, and all players I know will have receiving upside. I think that's maybe the one largest takeaway. If you're scared of
11:57the running back dead zone, at least get someone that you know is talented in the receiving game because there are genuine
12:03reasons uh like data wise to say running backs who are propped up by perceived volume who are not elite in the
12:11receiving game have the a much higher likelihood of being that classic dead zone running back where you draft them, you look back at the end of the year and
12:18you're like, why the heck did I draft this guy in round three when I could have drafted Dvontto Smith as the clear
12:23alpha wide receiver now who's going to have like a 30% target share? of the season. Like when you look back and you
12:28think, "Oh, that was a huge mistake."
12:30Usually it's I overlooked how important receptions are or I overlooked their role in the whole offense here. But like we know Jeremiah Love is an exceptional
12:40receiving back and even if Alier takes touches away on the ground, Alier does not catch passes. And so on a team
12:47that's going to be trailing a ton, playing a ton of amazing defenses, at some point they're still going to have to use Jeremiah Love in the receiving
12:52game. And so getting him at the end of the third round is still strong. and he's got, you know, he's the third
12:56overall pick in the draft. We know he's a locked in talent. Like he has the upside to where it's like he does go out
13:00there and he's the only thing they can do on offense on the ground and maybe overtakes Aler end of season which
13:05matters more than early season. Um but yeah, Chase Brown, Jeremiah Love, Amanra, Dante Smith, that's the picks so far. So we are going to be up at the 56
13:15turn. Um another relatively even mixture leaning wide receiver, Scataboo, Bree, Javvante, Jacobs, Kairen, Dave Montgomery all go. Um, we see Drake May
13:24and uh, Lamar Jackson go off the board in round five. That's what we will see.
13:28You'll start seeing rounds five, six, and seven. That's where this range of quarterback is going to go that we like.
13:33Um, and then a lot of wide receivers, Ibuka, Lad, Wadd, Z, T, Adams, JO, Tet, and Garrett Wilson all off the board.
13:43So, we can start considering quarterback here. And we know we're at the five six turn. It's going to be a long time that
13:50goes on goes around until we get back onto the clock. Um I've said for a while I think it's a top um eight this season
13:59ending with Justin Herbert who I think is an exceptional pick. I'm starting to warm up to Trevor Lawrence as well. And
14:07that becomes interesting in a 10-man because no one's going to double dip at quarterback this early. They will later on. But if we can extend this like range
14:16that I'm comfortable with as my quarterback one to nine, all of a sudden it becomes a lot more viable to take
14:23that chance and say, "Okay, you know, normally if if maybe we're only considering it a top seven and I'm at the five, six turn here, I'm it's a
14:30little bit more risky to say, well, I might not get one of them." But if we're saying it's a top nine, you only need
14:35one other team to not take a quarterback before we get to our seventh round pick.
14:39And the five six turn is still kind of stacked at running back and receiver.
14:43And so if we can extend it into Trevor Lawrence, I haven't done it yet. Uh but I might be doing that extending it to a
14:50top nine. Uh and again, if we don't do that, we'll wait a little bit. Uh and we love Jared Goff. Um there's the
14:56theoretical correlation risk risk here, but it's like with it's fine to stack with Omn. It's totally fine to do. Uh but it would be it would be Jared Goff
15:02would be like my favorite to wait for in that range. Uh Perie would be solid as well. So, all this to say, I think I'm
15:09going to risk it and not take a quarterback here. This range is great.
15:13If you want to take Daniels here, if you wanted to stack Chase Brown with Burrow, if you wanted to get Jaylen Herd stacked
15:18with Fuvantes Smith, that's fine. Um, also maybe I'll touch on the stacking a little bit. I'll probably maybe save a longer uh take on this for like a
15:25different mock draft Monday. Um, but when I say stacking, it's more betting on an offense. So, an underdog stacking is the correlation, trying to hit on
15:32that high-end outcome. We're not trying to correlate in any way in a reddraft league. We're trying to say, okay, I think the Eagles offense is going to be
15:40better than the public. And so, if I take three Eagles players and I'm right, I hit on three players in the draft. And
15:46it's difficult to hit on three individual players, less so to say, are the Eagles good, I just hit on three players. Now, if they're bad though, in
15:54a reddraft league, that hurts. Uh, so I typically just don't seek out stacking at all. Uh, that's why I have it in here
16:01as like a caution thing. Uh, but that would be the more the reason to do it.
16:06Okay, running back Swift. Really strong pick on a great offense, passcatching role, has been very consistent three straight years and has stayed very
16:15healthy three straight years. This weird Manungai thing, I'm recording this on Monday morning. I still have not heard Manungai practicing. Um, I guess I
16:22haven't looked totally yesterday, but I have not seen him come back to practice, but they're not telling us anything, so I don't know. Uh, but just a really
16:30strong pick for DeAndre Swift. Um, Travis ETN is a value. As you can see, I've dropped him down a little bit. 80p
16:37right now, 41. I have him at 50 right now. Um, getting scared off a little bit on the comments that he's making. Kamar is
16:44making about this being like a real split. And we know Kamar will be the pass catching guy. So, especially in a
16:49full PPR format, it worries me a little with with ET. Like, he could absolutely turn into a dead zone back this season.
16:55And then we get into Trayvon, who I'm excuse me, I have concerns about.
16:58Judkins, huge concerns in a full PPR league. Bashalt Tutin could be a league winner. Um but yeah, I I think Swift is kind of in
17:06a tier of his own there. So, we honestly might be double dipping or um going there again for uh the split. And then
17:12Burton, you guys know um maybe not all of you know, but he is a mustrap player uh for me now given all the reporting
17:18that's been happening. Uh given how good of a rookie season he had, how good of a prospect he was, how good the
17:23coordinator is, the offense is like everything. We're basically just waiting for who's the guy. And right now it's trending towards Luther Burden as the
17:31guy. Uh so I think it just makes the most sense to keep doing it to say grab um grab DeAndre Swift uh and then go
17:40ahead and grab Luther Burton. Um I don't know if you guys have been tracking uh the dynamic rankings here. Uh but it's
17:46basically been kind of even for running back and receiver as we've been building evenly, but then obviously as we take that third running back, wide receiver
17:53props up as a position to take. So we will take and getting Burden on the bench. Man, the upside there is insane.
17:59There's absolutely a chance that we're just slam dunking him into the wide receiver two spot every week. Uh so we've got Chase Brown, Jeremiah Love,
18:05and DeAndre Swift at um at running back and then Ammonra, Devontto Smith, and Luther Burton at receiver. I'm totally fine taking Swift and Burden. I don't
18:16want to take like two in the first three rounds, maybe even two in the first four rounds at the same um team, but if
18:23you're going to do it, it's better to do it at running back and receiver. If you're going to do it, it's better to do
18:28it on an elite offense and players who um you just think are maybe undervalued that season. Um, but yeah, I'd be I'd be
18:37slightly more hesitant at like a a Hampton and LAD because now you're doing it round two and three and there's just
18:43a little bit more systemic risk for the team to do it at rounds five and six. A little bit less of that risk. All right,
18:50let's pull up the board here. So, as we predicted, there's a lot of quarterbacks that go, but not all of them go. So,
18:55Daniels, Burrow, Herz, Caleb are gone.
18:57So, now the top seven, eight, top seven, top seven off the board. Um which means uh we'll have our Herbert and uh Trevor
19:07Lawrence decision to go at 78. We'll probably end up taking Justin Herbert.
19:10Um even mixture of wide receiver running back Evans Watson uh Terry McLuren DJ Moore Parker Washington unfortunately uh and Rome Adun off the board and then a
19:21running back ETN Judkins Pard Henry Balt unfortunately Price and Bucky Irving would have been absolutely sick to get like a honestly a two and Parker
19:31Washington. We had taken two on the Jaguars that was taking two on Chicago.
19:35So, uh, we are up here at running back.
19:39We're now in a new range. And I don't think running back at this point makes a whole lot of sense for us to go after.
19:44It's neutral historically if it's a good decision or not to go after. And honestly, everything's pretty neutral.
19:49Um, so we could really attack any position we wanted to. But Warren's great in full PPR. Stevenson's great for those uh, you know, locked in touches,
19:58honestly. Um Harvey's good for that upside, but I don't think any of them are like necessary to like push off quarterback any further. If it did
20:05anyone, it would be uh Jaylen Warren. Um Tate's a strong pick at this spot. You worry a little bit about, you know, the
20:13offensive line is terrible. Cam War was awful last year. They bring in um Brian Dable like brings Well with him and the
20:20reports are Wando's getting a decent amount of targets out of camp. um you worry somewhat that he racks up so many
20:26receptions and the offense isn't good enough to really support uh that many good players and that Tate kind of disappoints a little bit. Uh you hope
20:32that the talent kind of went out there, but you don't really know. So, not a bad pick, but like him, Tyson, Brian, Marv,
20:42they're all good picks. I don't think any of them stand out enough to me right now to where like I wouldn't take Justin
20:48Herbert. So, I think there's just an absolute 100% certainty. I'm taking Herbert at this spot. I'm not missing Herbert and Lawrence going to the 910
20:56turn and pushing it off further. I think Herbert has that chance to be a top three quarterback this season. Uh maybe
21:03uh a a an underdog, but a chance at being, you know, the number one quarterback. Obviously, I wouldn't put him as a favorite to be the number one
21:09quarterback, but just I want to be all in on the Chargers offense. He's a very underrated quarterback, one of the the
21:15better quarterbacks in the league.
21:17underrated mobility as well. Physical freak, just lock him up on your team. Uh so we take him. Uh and also it's a
21:23little bit more beneficial doing it in a 10 team league because I said if there's a top nine quarterback and I'm the only
21:29one sitting here with a non-top nine quarterback, every single week I go in there as an underdog at quarterback and that's not going to feel amazing. As you
21:38move to a 12 team league, you're like, well, okay, there's at least a couple other teams like me. Um, I'm basically,
21:44so the other thought process is as you go into deeper formats, streaming is basically the same whether you're in a 10 or 12 team league. The quarterback
21:53that I would be streaming in a 10 team league is the same as a 12 team league.
21:56So, it's more beneficial in a 12 team league to push that off because there's just like you're going to have weaker
22:02running backs and receivers. So, you're going to get the same score at quarterback, but better scores at running back and receiver. But now in a
22:0810 team league, I'm going to have better running backs and receivers, but I'm still going to be having that lower score at quarterback, and everyone else
22:13has that elevated score quarterback, but also better running backs and receivers.
22:16And so, they kind of like beat you there. So, I really would be trying to lock up a top again either eight or nine
22:21quarterback and a 10 team league. And definitely uh do not make a mistake in an eight team league and not get a top
22:28eight or nine quarterback. Don't let someone like double dip and shoot you off into a streaming range. Now you're you're like really really losing at
22:34quarterback and everyone still has locked and running backs and receivers.
22:38Okay. Um basically our decision here is is Tate or um Jaylen Warren. If we look at the range of wide receivers we'll be
22:49left with after this, they're pretty solid. I mean I can pick some some wide receivers that'll be decent in that range. Running back, it'll be okay. It's
22:56definitely not going to be as good. Do we consider Fannon here? I I don't think we need to. Fannon's ADP is 82. We're at
23:0671. Our next pick.
23:10Yeah, Fannon will probably go by our next pick, but I guess we could try and get Fannon or Leaporta at our next one.
23:17And then if not, we'll just wait a decent amount after that. I don't know what I would do if this was my main
23:23league. The rankings uh the rankings say go Tate. Uh historical data says lean Tate it's at 7% positive versus only 3%
23:32running back. It is 4% positive for uh tight ends. We we could go with Harold Fannon. Um who again especially full PP
23:39have been warming up to a lot more.
23:41Maybe we just go with the talent and we say, you know what, if a wide receiver is going to break out in this range,
23:47maybe it's what, the number four overall pick uh with a coordinator that or head coach, but you know, former coordinator that um is going to just hyperarget one
23:58player like is is not afraid. Dave's not afraid to just absolutely pepper any one player with targets. Uh and if that
24:06player turns into Carninal Tate, it' be a good thing. I I don't know. I I don't know what the move would be here, but I
24:10guess just lean towards the data. If the data says it's it's a little bit better with wide receiver and the rankings say
24:15that and ADP says that, you know, it's probably just close your eyes and trust everyone telling you it's a solid choice. Okay, pull up the draft board.
24:24Uh it looks like Yeah, unfortunately Leaporta and Fannon go. That I don't know. My gut says maybe I should have just gone with Fannon at that spot,
24:33but they go. Uh Stafford gone, Dart gone. Um so Trevor Lawrence still on the board surprising. Um we see Cororum Chuba Warren Stevenson Manungai go and
24:43then at wide receiver uh BTJ Metaf uh Marv Sutton Pitman Pierce Tyson and Chris Godwin off the board. Okay. Uh
24:53another really two players honestly maybe yeah if I knew this was going to happen I would take Fannon. And so again maybe
25:01that's that's something that's why you do mock drafts and kind of figure out. I I like the upside of Mai Lemon a lot. If
25:07we get reports in the next week or so that he is in 12 personnel sets, which he's not right now, but if if he moves
25:14up into that range, I'm adding him to the must draft players list. I want to be very aggressive on him this season. I
25:20I love the talent. I just didn't love the landing spot. If he landed on so many other teams, I'd have been all in.
25:27But there's reasons to be optimistic about the Eagles in general this season.
25:31So, I want to be really in on Mai Lemon.
25:32just want him to play in two receiver sets as well. And Quinton Johnston, I mean, I've been drafting him a lot this
25:37season. I know that he's not the most talented wide receiver, but like highly athletic touchdown scorer on a team that I mean, the reports right now are that
25:47he's going to get a lot of the underneath looks. Those are the layup looks. Whenever you hear underneath targets, those are layup routes. Those
25:53are routes where Mike McDaniel says, "Okay, just drop back instantly throw it to Quinton Johnson on a screen pass, a drag route, and just get them moving
26:00across the field fast for an upside play." Those are, again, you want your receivers in layup routes because it elevates their floor every week if
26:08they're not hitting downfield. But if they got three layup routes, that's like three receptions for 40 yards. That's just like baked into their production
26:14for free every week. I really, really like both of them this season. And so if I knew that Tate, like if I knew if they
26:22were going to be there, which maybe I should have, don't take Tate. Double dip at these two. Add Fan into my team and
26:28we have a much stronger team right now.
26:30It's like, can I really draft both of them? Probably not. I don't think you can go, you know, two bench spots here
26:39at I get you. You can, but you're probably better off just taking a shot on R.J. Harvey and picking your favorite
26:44between these two. I think I would go Mai Harvey, but I much rather would have gone um we'll put Harvey there. Like I can't I
26:55don't think I can go KD here with those guys on the board. So, we kind of have to just keep waiting. And now I'm going
26:59to end up weaker at tight end compared to a lot of the people in this league because we know there's a huge top three
27:05of um Bowowers, McBride, and Coulson Lovelin. In a 12 team league, there's two extra teams that don't have those guys. Well, now all of a sudden I'm only
27:14playing nine teams. 33% of the time I'm going to be going up against one of those three and they're going to shred
27:20me at the tight end position. At least with FanDom, we had that chance that he was kind of that like just that guy. Uh
27:26we don't really have that chance at any at any point here remaining. Maybe if you wanted to squint and say likely has
27:32that chance, sure. Uh but yeah, the correct move there would have been to take Fannon and then to just not take
27:37those guys. But I think we I think we have to split cuz we are going to start losing upside. Uh for as much as I'm
27:44hesitant on Harvey, I mean Dobbins has never stayed healthy. Harvey right now is the guy in um when they're doing receiving packages that's out there. He
27:53is he was still a player I was very excited talent-wise last season. Um I wasn't excited when he was like a 70th
28:00overall pick. As we move to a 90th overall, now the 910 turn, it becomes a lot more viable going after someone like
28:07him. So, we'll go Harvey. Uh, and then we'll go and we'll take Mai Lemon. Uh, but yeah, again, I wish I had just
28:14pushed off uh wide receiver, not taking Carnell Tape. I don't think we can take another wide receiver. Uh, Amanra, Dvontto Smith. Oh, I didn't even Okay,
28:24had I thought about it again, we already have Devont Smith. Man, I'm making so many mistakes in this mock draft.
28:29Optimally in this mock draft, uh, probably if we look back, Fannon
28:37Uh Harvey Quinton that makes our strongest team. I wouldn't I wouldn't do Mai with Devont Smith. It's fine because
28:48you can run into uh an outcome where they are hitting on the high end of their outcome. Uh you can get by having
28:55Mai and and Devonte Smith in the flex spot. Uh theoretically if Dvontto Smith got hurt, I have the handcuff here. You
29:02never want to draft handcuff. But if you want to tell yourself a story as to why it's okay as your fifth wide receiver,
29:08we only have to start two of them, but can start up to three of them. You know, if something happens to Bob Smith for a
29:13little bit, we know Mai Lemon would get a ton of targets. And so I'm basically saying, okay, lock in wide receiver two
29:17all season. One of them two is my wide receiver two and we only have to figure out two spots other than that. But yeah,
29:23optimally it's Fannon, Harvey, Quinn with those three picks. But we got two bench spots left. tight end, defense
29:32kicker, which will be last. Um, at tight end, I really am just not excited about Ferguson this season. I'm fine with God,
29:39but we are not taking GD on a team that already has these two pass catchers at this point. I'm absolutely just waiting.
29:46Just try and lock up uh some value at really running back is what we need here. Uh, but we're in just a gross
29:53range. So, definitely good. We took Harvey at that last one. We're still fine. I mean, uh, Chase Brown, Jeremiah Love, DeAndre Swift, Harvey, that's a
30:01pretty solid four, uh, that we can figure out, and we're deep enough at wide receiver where, like, I honestly think wide receiver might be our flex
30:07spot in most weeks. Um, Mason just has no reception upside. So, you really don't love that. Neither does JCM. Aaron Jones is a million years old and the
30:17backup right now, too. Jordan Mason, honestly, Kamara might be the one you're considering if he's actually going to have receptions this year. Um, Rodriguez isn't gonna
30:28have any receptions. You can handcuff Scataboo with Tyron Tracy, but my goodness, I mean, running back is just disgusting.
30:38You could theoretically handcuff and you could take like Algier, but Algier is so bad in full PPR. Um, yeah. Wow. I think you just take Mason
30:48and you just say it's enough. It's enough carries uh to be fine. Oh, we just I didn't even realize that we just
30:55missed Katon Mitchell at 109. So, that, you know, is a is a uh a team that has the underlying uh FFA
31:05rankings. So, some of these computers built in, I basically give the FFA rankings and they kind of draft a lot based off that. Uh at 109, that team
31:14absolutely had that. But yeah, I would have loved Keen Mitchell, Kenneth Gainwell, Brooks, Rico. They would have been great picks at this spot. And maybe
31:25that's another thing we kind of look at and we say, "Okay, at receiver, Reed is fine. Do is fine. Conception, Coker, uh,
31:32Diggs if he lands in Washington, uh, Jaden Higgins warming up to a lot, Shahed, Fenoi, like these are all guys totally fine to end with your bench. so
31:43much better than the running backs in this range. So, it's another one where it's like, well, Mai Lemon, it's like, well, I don't know. I mean,
31:52I love him. He doesn't end two wide receiver sets yet. It's like maybe we should just gone with running back. So,
31:56it's why we do the mock traps. Um, but I think in full PPR, you really that's that's why you got to be locking up
32:02these running backs early because if we had taken all these like high-end wide receivers and you're left in this range with no running back, it's just not a
32:09year you want to be going RB0. Uh, so we'll take Mason. Um, and uh, Trevor Lawrence is still there.
32:17It's around 12. Would you just double dip and just take Lawrence?
32:22Honestly, I would probably do that. I'd probably look at these running backs and say, "I'm not taking JCM, Chris Rodriguez, and full PPR." Like, I'm not
32:29I'm not drafting these guys. There'll be options on free agency. I already have now five running backs. Uh, that's what I would do. I would just just take
32:38Trevor Lawrence and say, "You guys messed up. He should not be going at the round like 121 13 turn. Uh if I stream
32:44Trevor Lawrence and Justin Herbert, I'm I'm doing great. Maybe I can end up trading one of them. Of course, likely also goes to pick before we go as well.
32:52All right, we'll just take Ferguson.
32:53That's fine. Um you know, like if someone gives you that value, just take it. You can figure something else out. Uh maybe one of them
33:00underperforms. There's no way both underperform this season. Um the Eagles are an incredible defense, so we'll just take the Eagles. Um, and then
33:10I'll pull up the draft board first before we take our kicker so you guys can kind of see everything that occurred
33:16here. So, uh, we've got Herbert and Lawrence at quarterback. At running back, we've got Chase Brown, Love Swift, Harvey Mason, and wide receiver. We've
33:24got Amanra, uh, Dvont Smith, Luther Burden, Carninal Tate, Mai Lemon. Again, I think our biggest I think things were amazing through round seven.
33:34round eight splitting uh splitting like Yeah. Okay. It wasn't a split between Tate and Harvey. It was split between
33:45Herbert and Tate and then Harvey and Mai Lemon. I feel like the Tate pick was fine, but where we
33:54really messed up was this range.
33:59But I don't know. I don't know. Let me know in the comments section. I feel like had we made the tape pick
34:05uh Harold Fannon and lock in those receptions, we just don't need wide receiver once we filled out that like starting unit of Amanra, Dvont Smith,
34:15and Luther Burden. We don't need the receiver. There's going to be fine receivers in rounds 12, 13, 14, but we're not going to have as good of tight
34:24end. Running backs we're going to need to lock up before they get really bad.
34:28But wide receivers are always going to be like relatively fine. is always going to be an okay option especially in full
34:33PPR. So I think that was probably our biggest mistake we had in this one but I think overall the team is uh really
34:38strong. Okay, cuz even literally Okay, so we are at 15 the 15-10 the end of the draft literally Reed Conception, Coker,
34:49Jaden Higgins, Shahed, Travis Hunter, Fenoi, Stribbling, Debo, like those are all totally fine picks to add onto your bench. So, we didn't need
34:59to go as aggressively into wide receiver. All right. Uh we will take um kicker and we'll end the draft. B number
35:08three. I I agree. I feel like it was a Bdraft. I feel like we made those mistakes. Does the um computer think
35:14they're saying our missed opportunity was they would have gone Warren over Herbert, I guess. Okay. Theoretically, knowing that we got Trevor Lawrence at
35:22round 12. Sure. Yes, that makes sense.
35:24And they also would have considered JCM um instead of Lawrence, but I think the Lawrence pick made a lot of sense. And
35:31they're saying it goes B2B, so it was barely an upgrade. We could have gotten a B+ had we gone Warren there. Again,
35:36hindsight, had we known Trevor Lawrence would be there that late. Sure, should have gone with Jaylen Warren at that spot, uh, cuz our running backs would
35:42have been a lot safer, but we didn't know that, and I don't think it would have happened in a hometown league. Um,
35:48so I'm still fine with how we did that part. The elite FFA team beat us.
35:55Yeah, I mean, this is a pretty FFA build.
35:59sort of a hero, but adding on David Montgomery, three strong wide receivers, grabbed Judkins at value in round seven.
36:07Brooks. Yeah, that's a good team. All right, let me know. I'll pull the grid up one more time for all of you to see.
36:12Let me know what you think in the comments section down below what mistakes you think I made in this one.
36:17Uh, but that's the end of this one.
