Player insights
A.J. Brown
NegativeDepth Chart22:30
AJ Brown was traded away from the Eagles, which is impacting Jalen Hurts' ADP and fantasy outlook.
Insight pageAaron Jones
PositiveValue38:43
Aaron Jones is mentioned as part of a range of running backs (Aaron Jones, Jordan Mason, Rashad White) that the analyst is loading up on in the mid-round range.
Insight pageAaron Rodgers
PositiveValue45:15
Aaron Rodgers is selected as a quarterback pick in the 14th round; the analyst is surprised he hasn't moved up more after signing, noting he is unlikely to score 20 fantasy points.
Insight pageBryce Young
PositiveValue45:31
Bryce Young is being taken in the 13th round, demonstrating the impact of the three-quarterback meta on quarterback ADP.
Insight pageC.J. Stroud
PositiveValue45:31
CJ Stroud going in the 130s is cited as evidence of the three-quarterback meta, with quarterbacks being pushed way up in ADP.
Insight pageCeeDee Lamb
PositiveProjection2:25
CeeDee Lamb had one of the years where the analyst didn't feel good about him, finishing as WR6 last year while being out-targeted by George Pickens.
Insight pageChris Rodriguez
NegativeProjection39:14
Chris Rodriguez is referenced by the Buccaneers coaching staff as a comparison for what they want Rashad White to be, but Rodriguez has mostly looked good in practice and was waived five times in the same season by the Washington Commanders.
Insight pageD'Andre Swift
PositiveValue26:56
DeAndre Swift is highlighted as an example of a player who could rise in rankings; ETR has him ranked around 39th, suggesting potential upside if rankings are adjusted.
Insight pageDaniel Jones
PositiveValue43:21
Daniel Jones (referred to as 'Dimes') is selected as a quarterback pick, though the analyst notes he doesn't really like him.
Insight pageEvan Engram
PositiveValue34:06
Evan Ingram is draftable as a DraftKings pick in the 20th round, though the analyst notes multiple positive reports about him.
Insight pageGeno Smith
PositiveValue45:08
Geno Smith is mentioned as one of the late-round quarterback options available in the draft.
Insight pageGeorge Pickens
PositiveRole1:04
George Pickens may not attend Cowboys minicamp amid contract drama, raising questions about whether he will play the upcoming season without a new deal.
Insight pagePositiveProjection2:25
Pickens had the best year of his career last year, outperforming CeeDee Lamb in receptions (86 vs 92), receiving yards (1,575 vs 1,749), receiving touchdowns (12 vs 8), yards per target (9.2 vs 8.5), yards per route run (2.5 vs 2.3), and routes per game (8.1 vs 7.8).
Insight pagePositiveValue3:58
The analyst wonders if George Pickens is being undervalued right now, noting the Dallas Cowboys' pass-heavy offense under Brian Schottenheimer and questioning whether Pickens might hold out for top-tier WR money (Justin Jefferson/Jamar Chase level).
Insight pageJalen Hurts
PositiveProjection22:30
Jalen Hurts is falling in ADP because AJ Brown is no longer his teammate and due to tough postseason matchups against Houston and Seattle in the playoffs.
Insight pageJavonte Williams
PositiveProjection57:14
Javante Williams is noted as not being a sure thing despite being good for part of last year, with the coaching staff preferring Jaden Blue as a backup option.
Insight pageJayden Daniels
PositiveValue22:00
Jaden Daniels paired with Terry McLaurin is a high-permutation combo occurring in 2.1% of drafts, indicating strong synergy between the two.
Insight pageJayden Higgins
PositiveValue39:10
Jaden Higgins is highly ranked by Mason and appears to be a strong pick, with the analyst noting he was really high on the rankings.
Insight pageJayden Reed
PositiveValue24:07
The analyst is taking Jaden Reed in the draft, indicating he views him as a solid pick at his current ADP.
Insight pageJaylen Warren
PositiveRole20:50
Jaylen Warren is selected as a running back option, preferred over Romandre, indicating he is viewed as a solid mid-round target.
Insight pageJonathan Taylor
PositiveValue15:41
Jonathan Taylor is a strong pairing option with Terry McLaurin, as the analyst has drafted Taylor 20 times but never with McLaurin, making it a valuable combo to diversify.
Insight pageJonathon Brooks
PositiveValue27:21
Jonathan Brooks is discussed as a potential pick but the analysts decide not to reach on him at pick 94, noting they don't need to force the selection.
Insight pageJordan Mason
PositiveValue38:43
Jordan Mason is mentioned as part of a range of running backs the analyst is loading up on in the mid-round range.
Insight pageKenneth Walker III
PositiveValue12:24
Kenneth Walker is going 30th overall on ESPN, which the analyst views as an affordable price, noting he would be a very strong pick in home leagues.
Insight pageMalik Willis
NegativeValue23:41
Malik Willis is getting buzz but his ADP has not moved at all despite the hype; the analyst does not like him much and sees a path to him flopping, wishing he would get more expensive and go ahead of Baker Mayfield and Tyler Shuck.
Insight pageMichael Pittman
PositiveValue29:08
Michael Pittman is selected as a wide receiver, providing another late-round quarterback stacking option.
Insight pageNick Chubb
PositiveProjection34:16
Nick Chubb was insanely good when he went in the second round on the Browns, with people forgetting how dominant he was.
Insight pageQuinshon Judkins
PositiveProjection28:27
Quinshon Judkins in 2026 is expected to have one of the best per-game rushing workloads in the entire NFL, with a floor of about 15 rushes and an expected increased passing game role compared to last year.
Insight pageNegativeProjection28:57
The analyst is concerned about Judkins' ability to score 13 touchdowns on a bad Browns team with poor quarterback play, offensive line, and defense, expecting some games where he scores only 4-6 points despite high carries.
Insight pagePositiveBreakout38:24
Quinshon Judkins will probably have at least one insane ceiling game, such as a three-touchdown performance or a 65-yard rushing touchdown, similar to his three-touchdown game last year.
Insight pageSam Darnold
PositiveValue43:30
Sam Darnold was taken off the board before the analysts could consider him as a quarterback option.
Insight pageSean Tucker
PositiveValue54:04
Sean Tucker is being drafted in 7.7% of best ball mania drafts (nearly 100%), making him a highly-drafted late-round running back despite similar outcome ranges to other undrafted backs like Jaden Blue.
Insight pageTahj Brooks
PositiveValue55:44
Taj Brooks is estimated to have a 0.1% draft rate in best ball mania, indicating he is almost never drafted.
Insight pageTerry McLaurin
PositiveValue15:02
The analyst is taking Terry McLaurin in this draft despite having only 1.2% of him in previous drafts, as part of a strategy to diversify team combinations and avoid stagnant roster construction.
Insight pageTravis Hunter
PositiveBreakout40:01
Travis Hunter is universally highly ranked, with the analyst noting shocking agreement across all analysts on his value.
Insight pageTreVeyon Henderson
PositiveValue17:26
Trevion Henderson falling to the middle of the fifth round is an excellent value, with the analyst unable to find a convincing argument against taking him there despite his disappointing 2024 season.
Insight pagePositiveProjection18:22
Despite being a disappointment last year, Trevion Henderson has shown ceiling games of 28, 32, 30, and 17 points, making his profile very difficult to pass on in the fifth round.
Insight pagePositiveBreakout18:55
Trevion Henderson has higher ceiling upside than Judkins and more upside than David Montgomery, with the analyst preferring him over DeAndre Swift and Javante Williams if given 20 touches.
Insight pageZay Flowers
PositiveProjection17:08
Zay Flowers has scored more than 20 half-PPR points only a couple of times in the last three years, likely twice including a two-touchdown game last year.

1:04Terms apply. See site for details. So it turns out that maybe George Pickens is not the lock that we thought he was going to be.
1:13We are now to voluntary minicamps. But George Pickens is potentially, maybe, maybe he will reportedly attend Cowboys minicamp amid contract drama.
1:21But I don't know, man. What do we think?
1:24Do we think that George Pickens is going to want to play this upcoming season without a contract?
1:30I'm starting to have some questions and very famously my guy, Chev, wanted to take George Pickens at the 2-0-3.
1:38I said, no, well, maybe we're going to be able to get George Pickens in the middle of the third night.
1:45And I do think Pickens and Lamb is just, I think it's very interesting, these two guys, because they were such close competitors last year.
1:54I mean, it was clearly the best year of George Pickens' career.
1:58I mean, I don't even, I don't even really think it was.
2:02I don't even really think that's debatable. And it was one of the years where we didn't feel that good about CeeDee Lamb.
2:11In fact, let's go ahead and actually just pull up that comparison between those two guys last year.
2:17Wide receiver 12 and wide receiver 6. CeeDee Lamb just out-targeted him.
2:21Just out-target shared. Pickens actually had more receiving yards, more receptions, more receiving touchdowns.
2:26Had more yards per target. Had more yards per route run.
2:30And actually more routes per game. Which I just think is all very interesting as it pertains to those two guys.
2:38We will take my guy. Jonathan Taylor here as we have the flock fantasy tool pulled up over there.
2:44I just find the Dallas Cowboys in general very interesting on offense because we know that they are, you know, we know
2:52that they are going to be a very pass-heavy offense.
2:56It's actually one of the few things about Brian Schottenheimer being the head coach that was actually good.
3:02Like I remember when Kellen Moore left, I was kind of concerned that the overall offensive performance would drop to a significant degree for the Dallas Cowboys.
3:12And that really wasn't the case. So I do wonder if we are actually undervaluing George Pickens right now.
3:19And another thing that I'm wondering is, is there any chance?
3:23I mean, you guys, you guys tell me. Is there any chance that George Pickens is actually one of those guys who would hold out?
3:31I wonder if George Pickens is actually of the type of character, the type of person who would actually say, you know what, man?
3:40I want my money. I want four years. I want $155 million.
3:44I want Justin Jefferson money. I want Jamar Chase money.
3:48And what would the Cowboys do? I mean, do the Cowboys really have any alternative to paying George Pickens?
3:55I'm not certain that they do. You know, it would be it would be Flournoy and MDS expanded packages for Kevontae Turpin playing a bunch of 12 personnel.
4:04I do just it's in the back of my mind.
4:08I'm thinking in the back of my mind that it might actually be the year.
4:13I mean, we have seen several several wide receivers have actually done it.
4:18Several wide receivers have said, hey, man, you're not going to make a fool of me.
4:24Or, you know, alternatively, I wonder if it's one of those things where McLaurin, you know, McLaurin sat out all of last preseason and had a horrible year.
4:34I mean, he's bad when he came back. He suffered soft tissue injuries.
4:38I wonder if it could be one of those situations.
4:42I mean, hey, a Jonathan Taylor, Derek Henry. That's a that's a grown man start.
4:47I can't tell if you're joking about this. Pickens is the prototype of the holdout guy.
4:53That's what I'm saying. Now, the prototype of the holdout guy doesn't always do it because you do give up money.
5:00You do. There is a short term penalty for holding out.
5:04But I really do. I really do wonder. I think there is a chance.
5:09I think the league has averaged two to three wider super tandems that are both top 20 for a decade outside of Jason T.
5:18I think Lamb and Pickens is the best bet.
5:21That's I would say that's pretty good. I mean, you've got who else is even an option.
5:27So you've got Puka and you've got Devante Adams.
5:30Who else would even be relevant? No one with Nico.
5:34Maybe Alave and Tyson. Rushy and Worthy, bro. Rushy and Worthy.
5:38Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell. I mean, that might be the best tandem.
5:42You've got Burden and Rome. You've got Ladd and QJ.
5:46Igbuka and Godwin. I mean, there are some options out there.
5:49What do you think about the round one and two starts that start with the same bye with Puka and AJ Brown?
5:57I don't care about it. That's that's not something.
6:01Now, I could be I could be wrong to not care, but I don't care.
6:06I think that seems fine. It's an 18 man roster for a reason.
6:10OK, now see you see this is we love to see it, man.
6:15I want to just take Rushy. I'm just going to take Rushy, man.
6:20I know that's not who I have ranked there, but sometimes you just want to take Rushy.
6:26Yes, St. Brown and Jamo for sure. That one that one is definitely an option.
6:31This guy, this guy right behind me, Jay Ferga Beast.
6:35I wonder I wonder if he likes wonder if he likes Jake Ferguson.
6:39He is auto drafting an incredible start. Christian McCaffrey, Ken Walker and Chris Alave back on back on the Coke Zero.
6:47Train, by the way. The Coke Zero, it's not as good as regular Coke, obviously.
6:52It's also not as good as Diet Coke, but I alternate.
6:56I go I go off and on. So, yeah, I'm thinking there is a chance that I might end up moving Pickens
7:04around in my rankings one way or another. You know another thing I'm thinking.
7:09I actually just did a video that is going to be coming out later today on the Redraft channel.
7:16Just so just on the Matic Fantasy Football channel.
7:19And I did my first mock draft on ESPN.
7:22And the some of the some of the seasonal ADPs are startling.
7:26They they really they really are. I mean, when you guys when you guys get to your you know, when you get
7:34to do your your home league draft with your buddies, some of the.
7:39Some of the ADPs you guys are going to be like, seriously, this guy's going where?
7:44Like, where do you guys think Kenneth Walker is going on ESPN right now?
7:49Just if you had to guess, where do you think Kenneth Walker is going?
7:54No sweetener hot takes. I mean, what's what sweetener hot takes do you want, brother?
8:00A week. Do we got all day? Will I mox?
8:03Will I max both the underdog and the DK $25 contest?
8:07Yes. Yes, I will be maxing Best Ball Mania.
8:10I will be maxing the DraftKings Millionaire Maker. See, isn't that so funny?
8:15I mean, Dualliant says he guesses that Kenneth Walker is going in the first round.
8:20Tyler is guessing the mid three. Yeah, he goes mid three.
8:24He's 30th overall in the ESPN software right now.
8:28So if my if my home league was drafting today, I have a very good.
8:33Well, except I I wouldn't be able to get him in my home league because my home league is based out of Kansas City.
8:41So I wouldn't be able to get him. But in your home league, very strong chance that you were able to get an affordable price on one.
8:51Mr. Kenneth Walker. Derek Henry. Derek Henry is a Derek Henry is a first round pick on ESPN.
8:57You would be correct. All right. Today is we're going to call this.
9:02We're going to call this diversity Monday because I'm going to take Terry McLaurin, who I have one point two percent of.
9:10This is something that I've been trying to do a little bit better at.
9:15But a lot of what I have been doing is when I do a draft where I am consciously not drafting guys that I have a ton of.
9:25I tend to do it all in one draft.
9:28So my similarity scores are not great where my my teams tend to be too stagnant.
9:34They tend to all look too much like one another.
9:37And I'm trying to do a little bit less of that.
9:41So with a pairing that I have quite a bit of that Jonathan Taylor and like just for example.
9:48So let's go to my combos tab. Let's go Jonathan Taylor.
9:52I have drafted how many times 20 times. I have drafted Jonathan Taylor.
9:56How many times have I drafted him with Rashi Rice?
10:00I've drafted those two together five times. I bet I have zero of those combinations with Terry McLaurin.
10:06Yep. The answer would be I have zero of those.
10:10And so because I have zero of those, that is now a combination that I have.
10:16So trying to cover more combos with my team.
10:19Ooh, good, good question. How many times do you think Zay Flowers has scored more than 20 half PPR points in the last three years?
10:28I mean, I'm going to I would guess not that many times.
10:32I would guess maybe twice because I think he had a two touchdown game last year, if memory serves.
10:39So that would be one. I mean, what is with this Trevion Henderson fall mid mid fifth round Trevion Henderson?
10:46That is that is as the kids would say all day.
10:50I can't think of a convincing argument to not take Trevion Henderson in the middle of the fifth round.
10:57I got I got nothing on that. I mean, can I pull Trevion Henderson?
11:02There we go. Such this is a great new feature.
11:05Shout out to the flock fantasy devs because this is a this is a feature.
11:11I've wanted the ability to bring up someone after I've already picked them.
11:15Look, I know Trevion Henderson was pretty much a disappointment to a lot of us in fantasy last year.
11:22But 28 points, 32 points, 30 points, 17 points.
11:25I mean, it's very, very hard for me to pass on this profile.
11:30Yeah. What's funny is I totally, totally Harbs understand the concept that Trevion Henderson is undervalued.
11:35But where are you finding analogs to this performance?
11:39I mean, his ceiling is higher than Judkins. I don't think there's any question.
11:44I think I mean, Bucky is also a very good pick.
11:48Tootin is also a very good pick. Like Henderson has so much more guy you had to have upside than David Montgomery.
11:55I think he's got more guy you had to have like end of the day.
12:01True heart of hearts. Who do you guys think has a better ceiling?
12:05DeAndre Swift or Trevion Henderson? How about this? Heart of hearts.
12:09True heart of hearts. Javante Williams or Trevion Henderson?
12:12If I told you that one of those guys got 20 touches in week 17, which one would you rather have?
12:20You would rather have Trevion Henderson than Javante. You really would.
12:24Right. I mean, Javante was Javante was as good as he could have been last year.
12:30And he had zero 30 point games. He had one.
12:33Well, how many running back one games? One, two, three, four, five.
12:37That's it. Five running back one games over the course of the whole season.
12:42See, I think this is cap. I think this is.
12:46I think it's cap. I think I think that this is cap.
12:50I mean, I could be wrong. I could be wrong, but I think it's cap.
12:55I think if I if I told you that they were getting 20 touches, you you want Trevion Henderson.
13:02Yeah. I mean, great. My great point from my guy Connor here, which is that Henderson, you know, is that that great segment of the market.
13:12We like second year running backs on good teams.
13:15Oh, I knew this was going to happen. You run out of wide receivers.
13:20All right. We're going to take Jaden Daniels with McLaurin.
13:23I mean, that's a combo. I probably don't have very much of what do we think the Jaden Daniels Terry McLaurin combo is.
13:31So I have that twice. That's a high. That is a high permutation that happens in 2.1 percent of drafts.
13:39That is that is really, really high. Henderson is the higher upside for sure, but the odds of realizing that upside are much lower because of Ramondre.
13:48I don't I don't disagree. I mean, if Ramondre was not if Ramondre Stevenson was not on the team like, OK, let's
13:56say Ramondre Stevenson retires from football to go be a monk in.
14:00In the mountains, just just follow me down. Follow me down this this rabbit hole.
14:06If Ramondre Stevenson retires to go be a monk in Tibet, what is Trevion Henderson's ADP?
14:11They don't sign anyone. Najee Harris doesn't come in.
14:15You know, they don't trade. They don't trade for for James Conno, James Connor, James Conno.
14:20Where does he go? I think that if Ramondre Stevenson retired to go be a Tibetan monk.
14:26Trevion Henderson would go ahead of. Yeah, I think I mean, Ken Walker, Chase Brown, Amari and Hampton.
14:33Yeah, and that and that would that would not be true.
14:37Of the guys who go around him. If Kenneth Gainwell retired, Bucky is he's rising.
14:42Judkins is not going to rise much. I mean, even we have a foot injury.
14:47Do I take Jaden Reed here? Do I take Jaden?
14:51I mean, I'm just going to take Jaden Reed here.
14:54But if any of the guys around him suffered an injury to their backfield mates, the same thing would not be true for them.
15:03Right. What percentage of teams have Bowers likely in the rookie tight end from the Jets?
15:09I mean, it's not going to be very many.
15:12Three three player combos are pretty rare. I'll give you Bowers and likely Bowers and likely happens point three percent of the time.
15:20So so, yeah, there's really and Bowers and Sadiq.
15:23That's actually going to be higher. I bet Bowers and Sadiq point four percent of the time.
15:29I have that on four of four hundred and nine drafts.
15:33Bigsby over Henderson is an insane take. Agreed. Austin, this is the puppy.
15:38I normally I normally hop in a puppy first and then do BBM.
15:42Now, I agree with this, that the shark has been jumped on Bucky.
15:47You know that the shark is jumped on Bucky because even I am drafting Bucky and I'm not a Bucky guy.
15:55Bucky is a three RAS player. Not going to not going to find me all that often drafting three RAS players.
16:02I didn't hear the reasoning, but I heard Corain say something about Henderson falling to the six.
16:08Well, he goes in the sixth on DraftKings. Henderson does.
16:12What do I think of the growing 2026 trend of taking two quarterbacks rather early and stopping because of quarterbacks getting so pushed up?
16:20I think it's I think it's quite nice. I think it's I think it's probably the most optimal way to respond to the market forces.
16:29Now, do I take my homes and implement this strategy my homes with rice or do I take Godwin?
16:36You know what? I'm going to take my homes.
16:39Is there a by conflict? Nope. We're good. All right.
16:43So we got we we can we can do two quarterbacks.
16:46Let's check the tool. Two quarterbacks gives us. Yeah, 15% expect advanced rate.
16:51Oh, I'm not going to get a good advance rate on this one.
16:5615% max with the running backs. Uh, 15% max with the wide receivers get up to 18% if I take three tight ends.
17:04So not going to get an A grade there.
17:07What are my thoughts on Quinshon Judkins this upcoming year?
17:11I mean, Quinshon Judkins in 2026 is probably going to have one of the best per game rushing workloads in the entire NFL.
17:19I expect him to sort of have a floor of about 15 rushes.
17:23I would expect him to probably have more of a passing game role than he had last year.
17:30Anthony, what I would be concerned about would be it's just very hard to score like 13 touchdowns on a bad football team.
17:38And I think the Browns are going to be a bad football team because I think they're going to be.
17:45Well, they'll probably be coached. Okay, but I don't think they are going to get a ton of the offensive line.
17:53The quarterback play is going to be really, really poor.
17:56Seems like the defense is going to be pretty poor.
18:00Let's do let's do Pittman. And so if you add all of those things together, it means to me that Judkins is probably going to end up.
18:09I mean, he's going to be a really solid running back, too.
18:14And in any week where he scores two touchdowns, he is going to be great.
18:19Meant to ask you this before. What do I think of the flock grading tool?
18:24Do I tend to agree with an A-plus draft most of the time?
18:29You know what? That's funny. It's funny you ask that, Chris, because I would say generally I don't always agree when it hates one of my drafts.
18:39It's kind of funny. Like if the if the tool gives me like a C or C-plus or whatever, I tend to
18:46think, okay, it's not really understanding what I did there.
18:50But generally speaking, when it gives me an A or an A-plus or an S-tier, then I'm like, okay, it actually does see what's going on here.
19:00And I did actually paint a masterpiece because generally when you paint a masterpiece, your room has to give you something nice.
19:07And so the tool is seeing when the tool is seeing that.
19:12Do the flock tools work on drafters and DK platforms as well?
19:16They do on DraftKings. I don't believe that they do on drafters.
19:20Trent, although this tool, so this tool with the rankings and stuff like that is currently being optimized for redraft stuff.
19:28So like you're going to be able to use this for your ESPN league.
19:33You're going to be able to use it for your Yahoo league and things like that.
19:38And I would imagine there would be a chance that we could end up getting it on drafters, if that is true,
19:46that the flock tools will end up working on drafters.
19:50But it does work on DraftKings. Off topic, but do I know how the swaps work?
19:55Yes. So this is indeed true. You are correct.
19:59You're not going to get a swap for a guy who plays.
20:03So what do I do here? You know what?
20:06Rashad White. This one's for Jacob. We're taking Rashad White.
20:1042% Rashad White. Yeah. So if you're playing the World Cup Battle Royales and you take a guy who starts on the bench, you get that guy's points.
20:20So like, for example, the other day, I took some of the Germany bench guys.
20:25That was yesterday. I took some of the Germany bench guys and I got their points.
20:31But for Brazil, I took Endrick for the Brazil-Morocco game.
20:34And Endrick did not sub in at all. So I got swaps for him.
20:39Multiple positive reports on Evan Ingram. I mean, he's draftable in the sense that he's someone who exists.
20:46He's a DraftKings pick. He's a 20-round DraftKings pick.
20:49It's true. How insane was Nick Chubb to be able to go in the second round on the Browns?
20:56People forget. People forget how insane Nick Chubb was.
20:59This episode is brought to you by Troll Co.
21:02Clothing. And oh, is this one worth it? You know, more than a few people have asked me about Troll Co.
21:09So let me actually tell you about it. I wear their hats, their sweatshirts.
21:14I have for a while now. The quality on both is legitimately good.
21:19The hats hold their shape. The sweatshirts are the kind of heavy that you actually want, not the thin stuff that pills after three washes.
21:28I just like them. The reason I connected with the brand in the first place is the story behind it.
21:35You know the phrase, dirty hands clean money? It's a blue collar saying that has been around forever.
21:42It's the idea that honest, hard, physical work is how you build a good life.
21:47Troll Co. It was started by two guys who came out of the oil patch who could not find any clothing that represented people like them.
21:56So they built it themselves. That is the kind of origin story I respect.

22:56And experience the difference the right fit can make.
22:59I think this is right. Although, with Judkins, it does feel like...
23:04So, Connor, it's an interesting point. I do feel like Judkins will probably have at least one insane ceiling game.
23:11Like, he'll probably... I mean, he had a game with three touchdowns last year.
23:16He will probably do something like that again. Or have one with like a 65-yard rushing touchdown or something.
23:23However, what will be different will be... I think there's going to be some games where Judkins scores like four points.
23:30Like, Quinshawn Judkins in a game has 22 rushes and legit scores like six points.
23:35I think we are going to see some stuff like that happen.
23:40Because this offense is going to be quite bad.
23:43All right, I need to start thinking about tight end.
23:46I also probably need a wide receiver. I mean, Jaden Higgins...
23:50I know Mason really likes Jaden Higgins. I bet he was really high up.
23:55And if I sort by Mason's stuff, I bet Jaden Higgins would have been real high there.
24:01And then Travis... Wow. Shocking that we are all very high on one Mr.
24:06Travis Hunter. Who would have predicted that? Have I used the flock tool to create a sidekick draft?
24:13I have not, although those two tools are doing very, very different things.
24:17It's very... They're attempting to measure very different things.
24:21Yes, Greg Berhalter is a terrorist. I could not believe how good the U.S.
24:26men looked the other night. I mean, I did not think they had that kind of performance in them.
24:32I mean, Paraguay aren't very good. But man, the U.S.
24:36men looked unconscious the other night. That Travella from Giovanni Reina was incredible.
24:41I believe Hakeem Butler already did sign with an NFL team, Slim.
24:45I believe Hakeem Butler signed with an NFL team this morning.
24:49Hakeem Butler... The Denver Broncos signed UFL Offensive Player of the Year, Hakeem Butler.
24:54Shout out. Shout out Hakeem Butler. I was in a dynasty league that does the rookie draft before the actual NFL draft.
25:02And Hakeem Butler was the fifth overall pick in the first round the year that he came out of school.
25:09Incredible stuff. I mean, yeah, but Comma Ball is Comma Ball, Brady.
25:13What do you want me to say? I mean, Comma Ball...
25:17The lower tiers of Comma Ball... Same as CONCACAF.
25:20Not a high-end region of global football dominance. All right.
25:24Well, I'm just going to have to take a tight end here.
25:28Doesn't really matter. Dude. All right. Well, we're super stacking.
25:31I'm going to take Chig. So we now have Jaden Daniels, Patrick Wilms, Jonathan Taylor, Trevion Henderson, Rashad White, Rashi Rice, Terry
25:39McLaurin, Jaden Reed, Michael Pittman Jr., Jaden Higgins, and Chig Akankwo.
25:43Well, it's not the best team I've ever drafted.
25:46It's also not the worst, so it's probably fine.
25:50What is the equivalent of what Team USA did in football terms?
25:54It would be like the Dallas Cowboys showed up in week one against...
25:58I don't know. I guess like the Browns and just laid the absolute wood.
26:03Like scored... Like they would beat the... They would beat the Browns like 52-3.
26:08And Dak didn't play the fourth quarter. And Jalen Mil...
26:12No, not Jalen Milrow. Joe Milton threw a touchdown pass to Ryan Flournoy.
26:17That was like really sick in the fourth quarter.
26:20Would be the equivalent to what Team USA just did against Paraguay.
26:24Alright, we are back up. Again, needing a tight end.
26:28Need a little bit of ceiling, honestly, at tight end.
26:31No, you know what? Running back is kind of cooked after this, so let's take Marks.
26:37And that gives us some correlation. But no real difference between these tight ends.
26:42And I kind of wanted to take Sadiq anyway.
26:45I mean, first off, this Uruguay team, not that good.
26:49I mean, I think we saw this Brazil team.
26:52I mean, that Brazilian midfield, Brady. Come on, dude.
26:55Honestly, give me Russell Westbrook right now versus what Casemiro did out there.
27:00One of the worst midfield performances. Have you had any successful lineups in the daily World Cup contest?
27:06Yeah, I won the contest on Saturday night. Shipper for your boy on Saturday night.
27:11I have the goat horns now. If you look at my profile on Underdog, I have the goat horns now.
27:19What's the NFL equivalent of what Spain just did?
27:22What the Cowboys did in the Super Bowl against the Eagles two years ago?
27:27Giants news from, I think, four days ago. The GM says neighbors.
27:31Could be back week one. Yes, it's true. It's true.
27:35Common Ball is way better than CONCACAF. It's true.
27:38Any teams that you actually like a super stack with at cost.
27:42Tampa Bay and New Orleans seem all right. We were actually talking about this in the members-only Discord.
27:48That if you become a members-only Discord on the join buttons right down there.
27:53Five bucks a month to become a member and support the channel.
27:58We were talking about this. My guy, Shady Advice, had some very interesting things to say about super stacks that has me reconsidering them conceptually.
28:07Man, I'm missing on all the tight ends here.
28:10All right. We're going to go another guy. I don't really have any of.
28:15We're going to go AJ Barner as our second tight end.
28:19So if you think about the way super stacks function, or if you just really think about the way best ball lineups
28:27work, more than half your roster is going to be zeros anyway when you account for the scores.
28:33So something that is quite interesting conceptually about super stacks is that you are basically saying the commanders, the Ravens, the Falcons, the Jags, whoever.
28:42In the given week, you just want the team to go nuts.
28:46Doesn't matter if it's Bateman. Doesn't matter if it's Devontez Walker.
28:50Doesn't matter if it's Jacoby Lane. Doesn't matter if it's Surratt.
28:54And you are also assuming that the team is pretty good for fantasy anyway over the course of the season.
29:01Like that is the bet that you are making on the team itself.
29:06And so it is just sort of interesting. Like I think that I probably need to start working that in a little
29:13bit more because I mean, this is not going to surprise anyone.
29:18I would guess the only teams that I really have super stacked are probably, I mean, I guess it would be the Chiefs and maybe the Jaguars.
29:27All right. I need at least one more tight end.
29:31I need probably two more wide receivers. We're going to do a guy draft a lot of Zachariah Branch to try and
29:39help these combinations a little bit more often. Titans.
29:42Titans is good. Yeah. Titans. Titans is quite good.
29:45I definitely agree with that. I think the Titans are probably.
29:49It's just one you're going to end up with.
29:52If you are, if you are doing a lot of drafting, you are probably going to end up with quite a good
30:00amount of Titans because they're one of the easiest backstacks to get in like pretty much all of fantasy football.
30:07You know, you can take Ridley late. You can take Helm late.
30:12You can, I mean, you can get Iow Manor and DK DK led the entire NFL or he set the record.
30:19What did he, he set the record for yards from scrimmage for a rookie or did he lead the entire league in yards from scrimmage?
30:28I forget one of those two rank favorite week 17 super stacks like games.
30:33I mean, New Orleans, Atlanta. New Orleans, Atlanta is, is indeed the game.
30:37Is your boy Money Mitch, Mitch Trubisky is Mitch Trubisky on the Tennessee Titans.
30:42If he is, I did. I was unaware that that caught me.
30:47That caught me unawares. Um, hmm. Is Dulcich gone?
30:50Dulcich is gone. So we're going to do. Briar Muth is our third tight end bringing us to a two, five, six, three.
30:58And we've got Jane Daniels, Patrick Mahomes, Jonathan Taylor, Derek Henry, Trevion Henderson, Rashad White, Woody Marks, Rashi Rice, Terry McLaurin, Jaden Reed, Michael Pittman Jr.
31:07Jaden Higgins, Zachariah Branch, Chigakonkwo, AJ Barner, and my guy, Pat Fryer Muth.
31:12All right. Well, hey, I mean, I'm, I don't, I don't love it.
31:17Fun stat via my guy, Ian Harditz. Two tight ends hit 20 miles per hour as a ball carrier last year.
31:24Brock Bowers and, of course, one Mr. Mark Andrews.
31:27They'll never, they'll never ever make me hate Mark Andrews.
31:31I don't know. I have no earthly idea why Mark Andrews is going as cheap as he is this year.
31:38It's, uh, it's completely insane. Mark Andrews should probably be like the tight end eight, honestly.
31:44Uh, wide receiver, no obvious stacks here. All right.
31:47We're going to take Pat Bryant, a guy I have not taken very much of who I know my friend Patrick Corain remains high on.
31:56Overzet and Corain had an interesting conversation about Charlie Kalar being undervalued in the market and believe his snapshot will be relatively elite to Njoku.
32:05Any take on Kalar, I'm out. I mean, I think Charlie Kalar is basically going to be a blocking fullback.
32:12And the way that I interpret the Mike McDaniel offense is that he views the tight end position.
32:18He reviewed, he views the receiving value of a tight end quite highly.
32:23He played a ton of Darren Waller last year when other coaches would not have done that at all.
32:30Look at these snap shares for Darren Waller. Um, so he comes back 58%, 29, 69%, 28, 46, 38, 54, 49 and 41.
32:38This was like an aging, like the guy, the guy had absolutely nothing on the field last year had, had absolutely nothing.
32:46So I tend to think that probably Gadsden is going to end up playing more than the market expects.
32:52I would guess that Corain and company are probably projecting Gadsden to see like a drastic reduction in snap share and in route share.
33:01And that's probably true at the base. But Gadsden is also one of those, what do you win when you win guys?
33:09And the, what do you win with Gadsden? I think is massive because you can win that role that Darren Waller just played.
33:17You can win that role that Johnny Smith had right there.
33:21It's a very, very potentially valuable role for, for that team.
33:25All right. Do I want to take one more wide receiver or do I want to take, I mean, Jonathan Taylor, Derek
33:33Henry, I probably need to take a wide receiver.
33:36And you know what I'm going to do? This is for my guy, Chess Liam.
33:41I don't know where he, okay. Well, I was going to take Iuke, but now, well, this one can also be for Chess Liam.
33:50I'll take Kayshawn Booty. So final team, Jaden Daniels, Patrick Mahomes, Jonathan Taylor, Derek Henry, Trevion Henderson, Rashad White, Woody Marks, Rashi
33:57Rice, Terry McLaurin, Jaden Reed, Michael Pittman Jr., Jaden Higgins, Zachariah Branch, Pat Bryant, Kayshawn Booty, Chigga Konkwo, AJ Barner, and Pat Friermuth.
34:06We are up in our next draft at the 1.11, drafting with Frog Bird Bats, RB1, Reed Spencer, J.
34:12Alex, S. Hughes, NYG, Justin Hall, Chris 70, Jake 11, TD 1717, and Bob Mob.
34:18I love, by the way, seeing all of these non-badgers.
34:21I mean, that'll, that just, that just makes your heart fill with joy.
34:26And then, Neil will be with us for our next draft, and we'll be knocking out a Best Ball Mania as we take Justin Jefferson.
34:35Is there, I mean, who is the guy that you end up taking in these drafts that you feel the best about?
34:43When you start a draft with Justin Jefferson, and then you get one of these litany of running backs, I mean, man.
34:51A Justin Jefferson, Kenneth Walker start, I gotta have that combo so many times.
34:56But, man, is that combo good. 4.9% of my drafts happens 0.8% of the time organically.
35:01See, Liam, I can, I can get unique. Crane was saying it's less of a knock on Gadsden and more of a
35:09case of Kalar just being the starting inline over Njoku.
35:13I mean, I think Crane is probably correct about that.
35:16Where I would feel that there is not room for profit on that would be, is I think that Njoku will still probably play.
35:25He'll still probably be a little bit of a thorn in the side.
35:29In general, I don't think Njoku is gonna play very much, but he's gonna play enough to be annoying for everyone else on the team.
35:38Like, well, like, about 30% of the snaps probably for David Njoku, which is just, it's just not a great, it's not great.
35:46It's not great for Kalar, it's not great for Gadsden, it's not great for Ladd McConkie, right, if they're not gonna play.
35:54Like, if the Chargers sort of stubbornly say Trey Harris and Quentin Johnson are gonna play outside.
36:00I've gotten and seen Jefferson and Gentie. I mean, I bet I've got some combos of that.
36:06I bet I've got Jefferson and Gentie. Jefferson and Gentie, I have got seven of those, and it happens 0.7% of the time.
36:15I mean, that is, it is the, the ideologically purest spot to start your drafts.
36:20I mean, it does, it just feels so good to have those two guys.
36:25One and done pick for the U.S. Open. I mean, man, does this course look really hard.
36:31I wish I would have saved Scotty for this.
36:34Sadly, Connor and all my one and done pools, I am way behind, so I'm gonna have to do, I'm gonna have to do horrible stuff.
36:43I'm gonna have to, like, take, you know, Minwoo Lee or whatever.
36:48But if I was, if I was in a good spot, I would want to take Jon Rahm.
36:54I would want to take Scotty. And maybe, maybe outside opinion, I, I quite like Matt Fitzpatrick, actually, at the U.S.
37:01Open. That is, that is indeed the sloppy start.
37:05I mean, I think, I think you can sub in Gentie or Walker and make it the sloppy start.
37:11But man, does it feel good? Etienne or Kyron would both be great here.
37:16Honestly, I was gonna say, I probably need to move Javante into this range in my rankings.
37:22Zay Flowers at 33. All right, well, we'll take Etienne.
37:26Who I, is Etienne gonna rise in average draft position if something happens with Kamara?
37:31I mean, I guess the answer is probably yes, it probably will.
37:36I mean, if Fob Mob does not take Kyron, I'm going to.
37:40Fourth round Kyron is just wild. Yeah, we're gonna do it.
37:44And now, I feel very good about my team.
37:47I mean, could the, the, the Fock computer better give me an A on this one, dude.
37:53What, stud wide receiver first. ADP value on Etienne and Kyron.
37:57This, this better be an A start. Or I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be, uh, annoying.
38:03Belgium, Egypt about to start. Yes, it's gonna be, it's gonna be fire.
38:07I saw someone get McCaffrey, Jefferson. I wonder how many of those I have.
38:12Jefferson and McCaffrey together. I do have one. I've got one.
38:16So if that's the combination you need this year, I've got at least one.
38:21Kyron is the Mark Andrews of running backs. I can see that.
38:25Underappreciated. Everyone always just thinks he's gonna get benched.
38:29But man, does that guy score fantasy points. The Frenchie six.
38:33Yes, with the 11 of 12 advancing. Yeah. That is, that is a, honestly, I had just not done nearly enough thinking for that format.
38:42But I thought it was a very, I thought it was a very cool format.
38:47I love when they're doing, I love when they are doing that with their contest.
38:52Like, I think there should just be all kinds of stuff like that.
38:57Like, we're doing all these contests all over the course of the summer.
39:01We should have an infinite style of options. Like, the Eliminator is a different style of contest.
39:07You know, there are all these different styles of contest.
39:11Weekly winners, you know. And now that there's not the marathon and the sprint, there's even more room to experiment, I think.
39:19I see Josh Allen fall to the fourth every so often.
39:23I would say maybe, oh, what do you think about?
39:26About 8% of the time or something like that, we get Josh Allen falling to the fourth round.
39:33I think that seems about right. I mean, it seems about right in terms of how often it happens.
39:40Not that it is, like, game theory optimal or anything like that.
39:44Although I haven't really, I do know that our friends over at Legendary Upside are not big Josh Allen drafters, so take that with what you will.
39:53And I think the early quarterback stuff, I know from messing around with the flock tool, it doesn't like it very much either.
40:02I don't need a ton of Frenchie sixes, but I don't mind a variety that includes a functional guarantee to be in a 1 of 15.
40:11Yeah. I mean, hey, it would be very disappointing to be someone like me who is drafting all offseason.
40:18Just, you know, I've been drafting since the NFC Conference Championship game.
40:22I need to have some finals teams, brother. I am not going to take Lamar.
40:27If he comes back around to me, I'll take him.
40:31I'm going to take Tate here. So I'm going to try and...
40:35I want to get my Tate and Tyson exposures a little bit closer.
40:40It doesn't feel like I should have 11... Oh, 11%.
40:43No, I have 17% of Tyson, and I just don't have nearly that much of Carnell Tate.
40:49Let me check that again. Carnell Tate, I only have 10% of.
40:54Yeah, there you go. And I just did an import at 625 completed draft.
40:59Sorry. Not passing on Lamar there. Lamar in round six.
41:02I think Lamar in round six is an auto-click to me.
41:06I think this is the year three vomit stacks win everything.
41:10Okay, so what would the vomit stacks be? They'd be like Shuck and Jawan, Cam Ward and Calvin Ridley, and Aaron Rodgers and Pat Fryermuth.
41:19I could see that. Honestly, I could see those three vomit stacks being all relatively low, like relatively good floor.
41:26Not great single week ceiling, obviously, but it can all happen in one week.
41:31Yeah, Mendoza and Trey Tucker. Because, I mean, look how expensive the quarterbacks are, right?
41:36I mean, it's all anyone ever talks about in these basketball streams, but the quarterback sick goes at pick 70.
41:43Jalen Hurts is falling a little bit, but he's still a seventh round pick, sixth round pick.
41:49Dak is a seventh round pick. Justin Herbert is 7'8".
41:53Mahomes is in the eighth round now. Trevor Lawrence is in the eighth round.
41:58Brock Purdy is in 8'9". Jackson Dart is in 8'9".
42:02I mean, Kyler Murray is a tenth round pick in best ball.
42:06Jordan Love is a tenth round pick. It's tough, dude.
42:09We really are in a brave new world. Yeah, Brissette never sits.
42:14Marvin goes wild. Darnell Washington. Watson and Judy. Wow.
42:17Mr. Ben must have had himself a nice little day in the underdog fantasy best ball lobbies with the 10 gifted Membies.
42:25Big salute to my guy, Ben. Shout out to my guy.
42:29I have to admit something to my closest friends on the planet.
42:33I have been taking some Watson. I take a little bit of Shadur as well.
42:38But, man, yeah. Super W to my guy, Ben.
42:41For sure. Hmm. Well, no, we're going to take Mark Andrews on this team.
42:46That is obvious. For second quarterback, I mean, Kyler, Ward.
42:50Ward. I don't mind. I don't mind waiting on quarterback.
42:53If Ward is your second quarterback, though, you probably do end.
42:57You probably do end taking three. I'm going to stay strong.
43:01That I'd rather lose without Watson than win with him.
43:05Well, you're a good man. You're a moral and strong human being.
43:09Do I take Addison? Godwin? Mahomes? No. I mean, actually, if I take Jalen Warren, I can maybe be done at running back.
43:17Yeah, let's do that. That's what's up. Dude, that's what the Sims would want, brother.
43:23Don't let the Sims win. Don't let the Sims win.
43:26Do I do the double? Or do I? No.
43:29Actually, I'm going to take Downs and open up another stack.
43:33Yeah, there we go. All right, so we have Lamar, Walker, ETN, Kyron Warren, Jefferson Tate, and Joshua Downs.
43:40So now I've got another vomit stack. Ooh, Daniel Jones.
43:44He could be a big part of the vomit stack.
43:47Anthony Richardson gets traded to the Jets midseason, and him and AD combined for 50 points in week 17.
43:54Hey, taken right out of my dreams and put down on the page, Connor.
43:59The Adonai Mitchell thing, his ADP has actually surpassed where I have him ranked, I think.
44:05Almost. So I have 18% of him. His ADP is up 24 spots in the last 30 days, up 9 spots in the last week.
44:14I mean, that is—what is driving this? It can't just be me.
44:18Hey, there's got to be something else going on.
44:21Are the Browns really going to do this with Watson?
44:25Feels like winning three games with Shadur is better than winning six or seven with Watson.
44:30I mean, it depends on who you believe. It depends on where you are getting your information from.
44:37But I certainly think it sounds like Deshaun Watson is the odds-on favorite to be the week one quarterback for the Cleveland Browns.
44:45I don't expect it to go that well. I expect it to go quite poorly.
44:50He gave a press conference the other day where he said— He said his shoulder was feeling better, but the implication in
44:58that was that his shoulder injury has been bothering him for four years.
45:03Which, drafting a quarterback who's had a chronic shoulder injury that is quote-unquote feeling better now— I mean, how good can it feel?
45:11How good can that possibly be? It's not great, man.
45:14It's not great at all. There was a news blurb a couple days ago that AD was showing good chemistry with Geno.
45:22Okay. Christian says it's him. Christian says he's driving up the price.
45:27All right, who can screenshot me the highest Adonai Mitchell exposure on Underdog?
45:31Someone sent me the highest AD Mitchell exposure they can find.
45:35Per Munkin, he has two starting quarterbacks. Imagine you're Dylan Gabriel and you hear that.
45:40You're Dylan Gabriel. You're watching Deshaun Watson. You're watching Deshaun Watson in practice every day.
45:46You're watching Shadur. You know what a jabroni both of these guys are.
45:50That's got to be the most toxic quarterback room of all time.
45:55You have Shadur and Watson just doing bits past each other.
45:59Yeah, exactly. That was the same shoulder injury that just completely ruined Cam Newton as a starting quarterback.
46:05Shoulder injuries are nothing to mess with, just in general.
46:09I mean, I don't really think Shadur is— I don't think Shadur is any good, but I do think he'll be starting at the end of the year.
46:18I know I have the highest Ted Hurst and Zachariah Brand exposure.
46:23Hey, that is wild around here, brother, because I am a big Zachariah Brand strafter.
46:28I mean, I think we just take Kyler here, and then we can be done at quarterback with Lamar and Kyler.
46:36And then we can start jamming the tight ends and wide receivers.
46:40I mean, I think there's a huge cliff to me at wide receiver after Matthew Golden.
46:46Famous words that's never been said before. The wide receiver cliff ends with Matthew Golden.
46:51But Matthew Golden, to me, is the old—and this will probably be lost on a lot of you guys if you haven't
46:59been drafting that long—but Bateman's second year. Bateman was the wide receiver 48, and we called it the Bateman line.
47:06And he was like the last, like, kind of like upside.
47:10Like, you feel good about it. Wow. Rashad White at 111.
47:14It really is a new era. Yeah. Gabriel had every chance to start and lost it.
47:19Yeah, Gabriel stinks, too. I mean, Dylan Gabriel is cheeks.
47:23Cheeks, cheeks, cheeks. But Shadur is also cheeks, and Watson is also cheeks.
47:28So, maybe Talon Green ends up being that guy.
47:31Talon Green would be fun. I mean, he wasn't very—he was fun.
47:35Talon Green was fun in college for fantasy, but will not be, like, a fun real-life quarterback at all in any way, shape, or form.
47:44Wandale is the wide receiver line. I can't get with that.
47:48I can't get with that. My top five wide receiver exposures in order.
47:52Jerry Judy, Ted Hurst, Malik Washington, A.D. Mitchell, and McConkie.
47:56It'd be hard to nail you down from that list, Brady.
48:00I wouldn't be able to say that you were a left-wing slappy, a slappy at all, a right-wing slappy.
48:07That is a never-let-em-know-where-you're-slapping-from exposure. Who feels worse right now, Gabriel or Keon Coleman?
48:12I mean, it sounds like things are sort of going all right for Keon Coleman.
48:17It sounds like they are probably going to let him play this year.
48:22I take a little bit of Keon Coleman. The weirdest fantasy football thing last year was Seagull's adoration of Dylan Gabriel.
48:29Didn't know about it. When will the college best ball tournaments drop?
48:33I assume relatively soon. Relatively, probably. I don't remember when they dropped last year, but I would think it would be similar
48:41time to last year, would be my guess. They probably...
48:45It probably gets harder and harder for them every year to figure out all of their stuff with player IDs and getting
48:53rosters right, because the rosters are going to be very different.
48:56What team does Judy finish the year with? I think they cut him after this year.
49:02Forgive my ignorance, but what does slappy mean? You know what?
49:06I have a video for you, brother. What's the definition of a...
49:10What is a slappy, Davis? We're going to have too many rookies.
49:15All our quarterbacks are going to be guys who could be benched at any given moment.
49:20All our wide receivers are going to be useless.
49:24We're going to have more handcuffed running backs than starting running backs.
49:28If you look around the draft pod and don't see the slappy, you are the slappy.
49:34Stop caring about the projected scores and draft the shiny object.
49:37Also, it might just mean nothing. I mean, really, in general...
49:41In general, slappy just means someone who only cares about the perceived upside of a pick versus how good the pick actually is.
49:50Or their reasonable chances of attaining the ceiling. Well, alright.
49:53I missed on my guy. We did not secure the services of Mark Andrews, who took him.
49:59Jay Alex took him. So we are going to do Dallas Goddard.
50:03And this is now a three tight end team.
50:07Which stinks a little bit. So three tight end gets us to 18%.
50:11Seven wide receiver now gets us to 20%. Okay.
50:14Alright. And... Ooh, five running... Okay. Alright. We can get an S tier on this one, I think, actually.
50:2130% of Zay Flowers, 23% of Jeremy and Burden and Hunter.
50:25Yeah, you might be a slappy. You might be a slappy.
50:29A pick that makes you feel good. Slappy equals I listen to the cabal.
50:34You know, that could be it. That could be it.
50:38Those are all good operational definitions. If you were Washington and the IU trade doesn't materialize, aren't you setting a fifth or sixth for Judy?
50:46I don't... So, Chirath, I don't think Judy is that cheap this year, though, is the issue.
50:53I believe that Judy is relatively expensive this season.
50:56$10 million cap hit. And I believe this dead cap functions as a trade kicker.
51:01So, were he to be traded, there is, yeah, pretty significant amount of dead cap.
51:06So, I think it's more likely that they use this out after this year.
51:11Potential out $25 million of dead cap. That's my uneducated guess.
51:15Dude, everyone's in a cabal. You know how many best ball cabals there are, dude?
51:21There are best ball cabals everywhere. Like, there are, you know, my guy...
51:25Oh, actually, hey, someone literally just asked about this.
51:28Here you go. Best Bowl Mania is live. $10 to enter.
51:32$30,000 to first place. $250,000 in prizes. There you go.
51:36Someone literally just asked when it's getting released. There you have it.
51:40The best Bowl Mania is live. All right. Then, I gotta figure out what I am doing at tight end on this team.
51:48I mean, I guess we can take Hawkinson. Man, his ADP has really crept up, huh?
51:54That is... That is a bit startling how high that's gone.
51:58All right, well, whatever. Let's just take Hawkinson. How bad can it be?
52:03Anytime you can make a pick in fantasy football and say, how bad can it be?
52:08That's how you know you're having a good dream.
52:12A good draft. A good dream. That's how you know.
52:15All right. We've got Mr. Hawkinson. Need to grab ourselves another wide receiver.
52:20This is gonna be a Debo pick for sure.
52:23Do I take another running back? I mean, I could take Spears here and be done.
52:29No. We're gonna take... Oh, Debo Wint. All right.
52:32I'm gonna take Sean Tucker, who... I just... Man, Sean Tucker in the 14th.
52:37All right, Davis. All right. I guess we're taking Sean Tucker in the 14th round now.
52:42That's how things are playing out. Don't know if I love that.
52:47Assuming the Niners just want a 7th run pick, why don't the Commanders do it?
52:52Well, he's got to... I believe Ayuk has to report before he can be traded, I think.
52:58As a 49ers fan, I'll trade Ayuk for Judy.
53:01We will do a Best Ball Mania draft next when Mr.
53:05Neil Orfield hops in here. So I think Brandon Ayuk, there's a decent trade kicker involved or like a decent amount of...
53:13I don't fully understand the Brandon Ayuk situation. $33 million in dead cap.
53:18But right now, the 49ers are not on the hook for any of this.
53:23The 49ers are not on hook for any part of the Brandon Ayuk contract right now because he is in violation of
53:31his contract because he is not reporting. So if you don't report, you do not get...
53:36You do not get paid. So, you know, Ayuk keeps doing this, oh, the 49ers are mad because they paid me $50 million to not show up.
53:46But the only person who is kind of getting screwed right now is Brandon Ayuk.
53:51That's why the whole saga has not made any sense to me the way that I understand his contract and the way
53:59that I understand this potential trade to the commanders because the way it sounded like to me is that every day that
54:07Brandon Ayuk is not there, he is costing himself money and saving the 49ers money and decreasing the chances that he plays
54:15for the commanders and decreasing the chances that he has a successful season for the commanders.
54:20Ah, okay. Dev says there's been nothing mandatory to show up to, which I guess I had not thought about, but of course that makes sense.
54:30Yeah, if there's no mandatory minicamp, then he's not in violation of anything.
54:34I think I did see somebody say something funny.
54:37They were like, Sean McVay wants to stick it to the 49ers so bad he canceled mandatory minicamp like they were going
54:45to scrimmage with the 49ers or something. Fragile quarterback, automatic L or secret 2-millistrat this year.
54:51I mean, if you really made me say what I think is more likely to result in $2 million, I would probably
54:59say a fragile 2-quarterback strategy, but it's just, it's really, really hard to advance when other teams in your pod are smashing you at the onesie positions.
55:08It's why I draft mostly three quarterbacks and mostly three tight ends, and I feel pretty good about it.
55:15And now I'm going to take Greg Dolcich, who I am trying to get higher on.
55:21The reviews sound good for Dolcich in Miami. They sound very good, actually.
55:25Well, maybe it's actually not so much the reviews of Dolcich, but it's the reviews of the receivers.
55:32And the reviews of the receivers do not sound bullish.
55:35Ted Hurst. So we've got Lamar Jackson, Kyler Murray, Ken Walker, Travis Etienne Jr., Kyron Williams, Jalen Warren, Sean Tucker, Justin Jefferson,
55:43Carnell Tate, Josh Downs, Matthew Goldens, Tepan Diggs, and Ted Hurst.
55:47I mean, this really is, that's a pretty slappy wide receiver room right there.
55:52Have we considered that the commies with a GM who is just San Francisco's vice president of pro personnel just doesn't want to deal with Iuke?
56:01I haven't considered that, Joel, because I didn't know that.
56:05So that is, that is a real, this sign can't stop me because I can't read situation.
56:11When did two quarterbacks become fragile? I think two quarterbacks became fragile when Daniel Jones off a torn Achilles became a 12th round pick.
56:20Anchor running, okay, all right, you guys heard it here first from Josh.
56:24Anchor running back with a Friermuth, Helm, and Greg Dulcich tight end room will win best ball mania this year.
56:31Hey, that's, I have tight end rooms that look like that.
56:3549ers canceled minicamp, and then McVeigh canceled minicamp. I think the fields are being used for the World Cup.
56:42Okay. Didn't know that. Didn't know that at all.
56:45It's true. Back when Liam won best ball mania, back when Liam won best ball mania, I think he, I think if
56:53I remember correctly, and I think I do remember this correctly because I've heard Liam say this enough time, fields got 2.4
57:01points contributing to his roster because he had a rushing play on Josh Allen's bye week.
57:07So I think he scored, he had like 24 rushing yards.
57:10If I, if that is right, all right, I gotta go, I gotta go look up.
57:16I gotta go look up if that's right, because if that's right, I probably need to get a new hobby.
57:23I need to get a new job. I gotta do something else because if I remember exactly how many points Liam got,
57:31all right, so it would have been what, 20, 21?
57:3521? Did he have exactly two points in any of these games?
57:39Maybe not. Okay, so maybe, maybe I can, maybe I can, maybe I can save myself a little bit because at least I didn't remember the exact statistics.
57:491.2 points, maybe it was that 1.2 points game.
57:52I don't, God help me if I remember exactly Liam's thing.
57:56All right, so I'm gonna tap two wide receivers here to end.
58:00Should be pretty easy because I'm gonna take Jacoby Lane for one of them.
58:05I did, I did hear that Liam won the Tampa 200.
58:09It's true. I did indeed hear it. All right, we're gonna do Jacoby Lane and then who do I want as my final wide receiver?
58:18Who's someone I don't have very much up? You know what?
58:22Having 5.1% of Tyree Kale doesn't feel very good because it doesn't seem like he's gonna play.
58:28You know what? We're gonna take Zavian Thomas. Got ourselves wrapped up a nice little fantasy football team there.
58:35We have got Lamar Jackson, Kyler Murray, Ken Walker, Travis Etienne Jr., Kyron Williams, Jalen Warren, Sean Tucker, Justin Jefferson, Carnell Tate,
58:43Josh Downs, Matthew Golden, Stephon Diggs, Ted Hurst, Jacoby Lane, and Zavian Thomas.
58:47So a lot of wide receivers. The Zavian Thomas blurbs, they've been pretty bullish.
58:52Dallas Goddard, TJ Hawkinson, and Greg Golsich. You know, I'd love to do a Twitter search for Zavian Thomas, but I bet
59:00I won't find anything that's actually about him because the Twitter search is the worst.
59:05Hey, maybe we go here. Bears head coach Ben Johnson on rookie wide receiver Zavian Thomas.
59:11He tends to make a play almost every single day right now.
59:15He could be a big weapon for us this year.
59:19Here you go. Caleb Williams to Zavian Thomas at OTAs.
59:23Deep route. Love that. Great snag. More Zavian Thomas optimism.
59:26Don't be fooled by Thomas's spot in the wide receiver depth chart, wherever that might be.
59:32If he shows the playmaking ability he has in practice when the games roll around, the Bears are going to find a way to use him.
59:41We love to hear it, Neil. We love to hear about Zavian Thomas.
59:46Well, you're on mute. I swear I clicked that button right before I started talking.
59:51I was saying I don't love to hear it because I haven't drafted a single share of Zavian Thomas.
59:58How much have you actually drafted? I, a non, a non-zero amount.
60:02At least, at least $100 worth of Zavian Thomas because there's nothing that can be more catnip to me than a potential position change guy in the NFL.
60:12You love those guys. I just, I just love those guys.
60:16Who is the Lions running back? Sion Vocky. Oh yeah, Sion Vocky.
60:20Yes, I do. I love those guys. Have any of those guys worked out?
60:25Like, I guess it depends on the position. Depends on the position change, right?
60:30Right. Okay. I mean, Rashard Smith worked out in the sense that if he was any good, he had a role on the Chiefs last year.
60:39He just wasn't, he just wasn't any good. Like, but you can't really ask for much better than getting to be third down back on the Chiefs.
60:49He just didn't, he just literally did nothing. I mean, he just couldn't break a tackle, was not explosive, couldn't do, couldn't,
60:57I mean, Percy Harvin kind of worked, I mean, this is back in the day.
61:02Antonio Gibson, like to some extent. Antonio Gibson definitely worked out.
61:06Antonio Gibson Tyrone Tracy. Tyrone Tracy. Tyrone Tracy. I mean, it's worked.
61:10It's, I mean, Julian Edelman was a position change.
61:14He was a college quarterback. Oh, yeah. I feel like quarterback to other position works out better than other positions typically because
61:21quarterbacks like have such a good understanding of the game plan and Terrell, Terrell Pryor was a quarterback and he had a thousand yard receiving season.
61:31There's another one. There's another really big one that I just had in my brain and then I just lost it.
61:38My brain, my brain just went to a, to goo.
61:42All right, Neil, we are drafting from the third spot in best ball mania.
61:47No names that I really recognize here. So Chase.
61:50Yeah, Chase. I must be running bad on third overall picks because I only have 6.4% of, of chase.
61:57Let's boost those numbers. Logan Thomas, Logan Thomas changed position.
62:00He changed from quarterback to tight end. He hung around for a while.
62:05Felipe Franks actually did the same thing. He is on the Falcons.
62:09Jordan Matthews changed position from wide receiver to tight end and he's still on the Panthers.
62:15I don't think he is now, but he was on the Panthers for a while.
62:20It happens. It happens. I've always kind of liked the idea of a big wide receiver just getting fat and playing tight
62:28end, just letting themselves go a little bit. It's kind of fun.
62:32We're getting jacked. Probably work better. We're getting jacked.
62:35Yes. Neil, you're streaming at 4 p.m. central today, correct?
62:393.30 central. 3.30 central. Okay. We'll be wrapped up by then.
62:43I'll be out of your hair. Okay. Cool. Cool.
62:46Who is coming on with you today? Anybody? Nobody today.
62:50I've been doing just solo streams on Monday and then I stream with JSU on Tuesdays and then Wednesdays I do a
62:57podcast which I literally decided like half an hour before Gretch was going to come on the stream.
63:04I was like, you know what? People always ask me to turn my stuff into like audio format.
63:10I'm just going to do a podcast on Wednesdays.
63:13So I started doing my best ball whenever podcast on Wednesdays.
63:17So far that's it. Although we did just lose both the UFL and NBA seasons just ended and I had been doing for both of them.
63:27So I might I might start doing a little bit more sometime sometime during the week.
63:32World Cup DFS. Now's your time. I saw you had a win.
63:37I did have a win. Yeah, people are people are pretty bad at the World Cup on underdog right now.
63:44They don't there's not really understanding it. It'll probably be over and it's just like do dailies are time intensive like you got it.
63:52You got to grind if you're when you can't auto draft them like you really got to sit there and and grind.
64:00So yeah, I think it makes sense that people are not that good at it because it's probably like underdog just has like a dailies ecosystem.
64:09So it's just people are doing all the dailies all the time who aren't soccer fans.
64:15So it's like whatever I'll take whatever rankings that I can find if they even find a ranking set and and there
64:23there really aren't like there's some projections for them.
64:26I wouldn't say they're like particularly good and it's it's kind of like football.
64:31Damn. All right. We we got sniped on a low of hours.
64:35Like the I would say it's kind of almost like MLB where sure you can have projections but it's like either a
64:43guy hits two home runs or he doesn't. And if you didn't have the guy who scored two goals like if you
64:51didn't have Kai Havertz yesterday what just doesn't matter or Dennis Zundab off the bench or whatever then you're just not going to win.
65:00And it's kind of one of those things where like projections aren't really going to help that much.
65:06Like they'll help a little but you kind of just got to know like you kind of just have to pick up
65:14on latent information from watching the games and stuff.
65:17And if you don't if you don't have that it's just I mean I'm sure like I don't know you know like
65:25if if Yuda was like gonna win like he could just win you know because he's Yuda but sure you have to start watching soccer though.
65:34You have to start watching soccer. Yeah. How much soccer do you actually watch because you clearly know about this.
65:41Oh I watch I watch it's it's you know I watch a ton of soccer and a ton of golf.
65:48Okay. What do you this is a really tricky spot on the board.
65:53Like I'm fine with doing McBride I'm fine with doing bully tight end otherwise Olave is good.
65:59All right. I haven't done this yet Neil. Let's do it.
66:03Let's go. Let's go on a journey. Yeah. I have not done this.
66:08I've not done this in best ball mania yet.
66:11I don't love doing it. It makes me pretty uncomfortable but like you like both of these guys could absolutely smash could
66:19be could be exactly what you need. So I'm okay doing it from time to time.
66:24I would say I would say I like it better with Gibbs or B.
66:29John where like because our running back one is going to be like scataboo you know which is which is not great.
66:37How many drafts in the flagships. I think I believe this is best ball mania 47 for me and I think I'm
66:4565 in on draft kings but what I do on draft kings Neil is other than DK best ball week.
66:52I just enter into one slow draft today. Yeah.
66:55I wake up. I wake up and I different spot every day different spot of different.
67:01So I'm not making I'm not making the same pick and it you know kind of keeps me on pace and then
67:09for when DK best ball week comes up then I'll knock out like 20 or 25 in that week and it keeps
67:17me from because everyone has experienced this which is that you end up on the clock on a bunch of slows you're
67:24trying to shovel in a bunch of volume on draft kings the last like two weeks of the season and they never
67:32go to the four hour is it they never go to the four hour clock they just go straight to the one hour clock.
67:41Oh is that I think that might be right.
67:44I believe it was like straight to one and then 10 minutes and yeah it's real tough.
67:50Yeah. And then when the 10 minutes comes I mean I just give up whenever whenever I'm going to lose.
67:57Yeah. Yeah. It's just it's done. It's done at that point.
68:01Yeah. So the only reason I won't do what you're doing is because I don't wake up at the ask crack of dawn.
68:09So like to be in a bunch of slows on DK I'll miss some picks if I'm in too many slows on
68:17drafting because they don't have as long of a window overnight.
68:21They have they have none. They've none. There's no pause.
68:25It's just eight hours. Is that right? I did not realize there's there's no there's no overnight variability.
68:31So like literally the last thing I do before I go to bed is I make my drafting slow draft picks and
68:39but yeah there's no there's no 10 hour clock.
68:42There's no pause. You just you just have a you better sleep exactly.
68:47You sleep seven hours 55 minutes. That's tough. Yeah.
68:50I mean I queue up so I go through just like any any of my picks that have that I'm one or
68:58two away at least one or two away and queue up a few picks.
69:03All right. We got to take a running back here.
69:06I don't care which one Dave Montgomery is a pretty good start.
69:10I think here. Yeah. Yeah. Like I know that like Evans or whatever is maybe this actually sidekick probably would have told
69:18us to take Mike Evans there but I can't I can't go into I can't go into battle with with no one.
69:26We could have taken I guess we could have taken Evans because we're probably going to be a three quarterback team with maybe honestly maybe Mendoza and Brissette.
69:36Maybe that's kind of like a galaxy brain combo where Brissette starts the year and Mendoza finishes it.
69:42That's that's kind of fun. That could work. I would have maybe wanted to take Waddle here.
69:49All right. Coming up in one pick. What do you think and Neil?
69:53I'd be fine with Swift or Tootin. All right.
69:56Yeah. You know what? I very little DeAndre Swift.
70:00Let's do it. This is a this is a dude.
70:03If Jamar Chase is bad. This team will not be winning Best Ball Mania 7.
70:08David Montgomery, DeAndre Swift, Jamar Chase, Bowers and Trey McBride.
70:12I wonder how how many of these do I have?
70:16Bowers and McBride together. I have on three of six hundred and twenty five completed teams.
70:21OK. Make it for make it for. Yeah. Hey, and if it works Best Ball Mania little two million dollar shipper and
70:29then and then do you know what's so funny because no one in best ball can think for themselves and they just
70:37want to do whatever worked last year. Then it'll become like the grail strategy.
70:42Oh, yeah. You got to get two tight ends.
70:45Dude, you got to get to do at least two tight ends through five.
70:50You didn't get Tyler Warren. You're screwed. You can't win.
70:54Yeah. I mean, it always depends on how many tight ends look good this year.
70:59But if we get a big year from Bowers, McBride, Colston Loveland, Tyler Warren, like all the top guys, we have like eight elite tight ends.
71:08I could see that becoming pretty popular. Most well, and and I think a really interesting thing for next season is going to be.
71:17I think there's going to be a total refutation of the three quarterback stuff because the advance rates for the three quarterback
71:25stuff are not going to be nearly as good when the three quarterbacks are way more expensive.
71:31Like the the thing that has gotten lost is everything.
71:34All the three quarterback stuff is downstream from like the stuff that Shady's done and then everyone else kind of copying it,
71:42which is then done without the intermediate thing of a thinking machine telling you when to take a third quarterback and when not to do it.
71:51Like people just blindly applying it. And if you're just blindly applying it, you're not really going to know when to do
71:59it and when not to do it. I mean, you can guess, you know, but then you're just doing astrology.
72:06They're trying to play the what would the sidekick do game?
72:10And that's a really tough game. Tough, tough to know what a computer is going to tell you to do.
72:17Yeah. Yeah. Not like that tough because a lot of the time it's pretty like, all right, this would be what the
72:25sidekick like sometimes it is pretty apparent, but yeah, we do not have computer brains.
72:30Let's do man this. These add these historical advance rates with the two elite tight ends.
72:36Not as bad as I thought. Actually, there we might we might be able to save ourselves yet here.
72:43All right. So Tate does go. If we want a wide receiver, it is Parker Washington or Marvin Harrison.
72:50If it's a running back, it'd be a jail and Warren or Romandre.
72:54I would go Warren or Romandre. Let's take jail and Warren.
72:58Yeah, I like that because we're going to probably take nine wide receivers on this team.
73:04I would think maybe we don't need that. We don't need nine with Chase.
73:09Probably we just need we just well and our flex is already taken care of because because McBride is our flex.
73:16Yeah, that's actually that's actually a good point. And those guys do have different by weeks.
73:22We'll definitely want three quarterbacks, though. That is is definitely true.
73:26So we could take Romandre and potentially call it now.
73:30No, we'd still want five because our running back one is David Montgomery.
73:34I'm probably I'm waiting a second here or or or or Lemon or Sutton Sutton sucks.
73:40I'm I'm probably a hurts guy here. OK, plenty backstacking with hurts.
73:44I mean, yeah, well, if you even want to backstack, it would be it would be wicks.
73:50But yeah, no, I'm so hurts is falling, I guess, because AJ Brown is not his teammate anymore.
73:57And because some part of it is probably the tough postseason matchups they play.
74:02Houston and Seattle, right? Both in the playoffs, which is not great.
74:06It's not ideal. Not not ideal at all. But I mean, look, Jalen Hurts is either going to score three rushing touchdowns or he isn't right.
74:15I mean, that's just it's kind of just the barometer like the guy's either going to tush push.
74:21You know who you know who is getting some tush push buzz that his ADP has not moved at all is Malik Willis.
74:30The adult is so much. I say Mark Andrews.
74:33I don't even honestly, I don't even like Malik Willis that much.
74:37I totally see the path to him flopping on his face and I wish that he would get more expensive.
74:44I wish that he'd be going ahead of Baker Mayfield and Tyler Shuck.
74:49Dude, 2024 best ball analysts would have never let this happen.
74:53No, you're right about that. They would have never.
74:56Dude, we would be we would be like arrogantly laughing at everyone fading Malik Willis.
75:01Be like, yeah, you guys are probably scared of Anthony Richardson and Trey Lance too.
75:07Oh, you know, you're so scared. I mean, dude, it's it's I need someone to be a voice of reason on Malik Willis.
75:15I need like, you know what I need? I need Matthew Barry to go on TV and be like, you guys are crazy.
75:23Draft Malik Willis and then he'll get like 10, you know, 10 spots more expensive.
75:28Matthew Barry, Matthew Barry could move. The sidekick could also just move the market.
75:33It's like the cleanest path to moving the market would be the sidekick telling its users and that being having kind of
75:41a no cleanest cleanest path is Leone cleanest path is Leone gets back from his sabbatical or whatever he's doing.
75:48All I mean, all due respect to Karain and to leg up, but I would imagine the ETR ranks versus sidekick users
75:56is 10x or 20x or whatever is Leone. I guess maybe I'm not aware that Leone is going to come back and do the rankings.
76:05Is that something? Oh, I mean, I have no, I have no idea.
76:10Okay. I, I, I, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Just like changing the ETR rankings side, Malik Willis way higher.
76:16Yeah. Easiest, easiest path to do like this DeAndre Swift rise, like ETR I think has him ranked like 39th or something.
76:24So, so I think that's although hope, right. Yeah.
76:27Hope did tweet that only like four and a half percent of users have custom rankings saved, which I can't imagine that's correct.
76:35Yeah. Um, it'd be, it'd be Jonathan Brooks for me or we need a wide receiver.
76:41Josh Downs Downs gives us a Downs gives us a good cheap quarterback.
76:46Yeah. I like that. Uh, you'd still what you'd still want Jonathan Brooks on this team.
76:51Oh, I guess. Yeah. Let's pick 94. I guess I didn't realize how early we were.
76:57I saw Monunga and Coram come off the board and that's usually when I'm like, okay, yeah, Let's load up on Brooks now.
77:05No, I'm, I'm, I'm like that. I agree. Yeah, I agree.
77:09Uh, you're right. We, we don't really need Brooks.
77:12Um, we can, we can, we don't, we don't not need Brooks.
77:17Like we, we could, we don't need to reach.
77:20We don't need to reach on Brooks, I guess.
77:23Um, I would say it would be one of this group of wide receivers or Jonathan Brooks.
77:29Yeah. I'd be fine with any of worthy Pittman, golden Pierce.
77:33All I guess, well, I don't take much Wilson, but I think Wilson, I don't really take, I don't take real.
77:40I don't really take him much either. He is falling.
77:44Not, this is just the way his ADP is trending though.
77:48All right. Worthy goes. So Pittman gives us another late quarterback.
77:52So I think that's what we should do. Sure.
77:55I like, I think cause now we've got, now we, we've got five late quarterbacks to do.
78:01So we should feel, we should feel good there.
78:04Um, it's not that many States, um, that you have to do, but I, I'm sure they have the ability to look
78:12at the difference between person who saves their own custom rankings versus who does the CSV upload.
78:18Cause that's the big difference. That might be, it might be just be people that upload versus yeah, people who rearrange stuff themselves.
78:26That's also a draft Kings. If you, if you do a draft and auto draft it without changing the rankings, they'll throw out your draft.
78:35Actually, they don't throw out the draft. They don't throw out the draft.
78:40You're, yeah, you're, you're not, you're are not eligible to win prizes.
78:44That's right. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. I had to, um, I had to do, I actually had to test that out because
78:52draft Kings had a $1 contest for the pre-draft stuff that was going to overlay a little bit.
78:58And I was like, okay, well I'm just going to upload custom rankings.
79:03And then what I did was I start, I just joined all 20 and then I made one click and everyone just to be safe.
79:12Nice. I mean, if you upload custom, then it should be fine.
79:16Right. It just can't be, I think if you have rankings, you're fine, but I don't, I don't know.
79:23Yeah. That's, I think that's the rule at least.
79:26Imagine drafting a huge auto drafted shipper and then not being eligible to win dude.
79:31It'd be terrible. I'm sure. Use that in content forever though.
79:35Yeah. Oh, you're right. You're right. How much is that?
79:39How much is that worth for content? That's actually a great question for content.
79:44How much would that be worth? Uh, is it worth, I think first prize in that was one T dot 20,000.
79:51I think is that, is it, is it, is it a $20,000?
79:56I don't think it's worth that much. No, it's probably worth like a couple thousand.
80:01I was going to say like a two, two K bit, something like that.
80:06Yeah. Dude, I auto drafted the team and draft Kings wouldn't pay me out.
80:11You know, what's funny is because I'm a DK partner.
80:15There would probably be a way for me to be like, guys, I did draft this team.
80:21Come on. Yeah. Help me out. Actually, you know what?
80:24I take that back. That's so not the case.
80:27When you work with draft Kings, you have to dot so many eyes and cross so many T's.
80:34You have to do so much legal stuff that you don't have to do working with other companies because they are so,
80:42so much bigger and, and they have their fingers in so many pots.
80:46Yeah. No, I guess that is true. I didn't correct you when you said it during drafting this ball week when you
80:54referred to me as a fellow partner. I am not currently a draft Kings partner because I still haven't been paid for
81:02last year, which is all, which is my fault, which is a hundred percent my fault because I haven't filled.
81:09Oh, because their, their backend is so they, they do like up there.
81:14I got on a call with crane and actually had to show them how to do it.
81:20Oh really? Yeah. It's really, it's like not straightforward at all.
81:24They're, their way of doing invoicing for, for me, it's just a matter of, well, let's make our picks.
81:30Do we have any stacks here? We, we do not.
81:34Dallas Goddard. I'd go digs. Yeah. I would also go digs.
81:38Digs. I am, I'm upping that percentage of digs exponentially as, as, as I don't understand why he's remaining so cheap.
81:45Do people really not know this dude is signing?
81:49It's like the most obvious thing after the AJ Brown thing though.
81:53I'll never be surprised again. Never. Davis. I rewatched the stream that you and I did where, cause I want to see
82:01what our team looked like, where we, where we reach for AJ Brown and you were like, yeah, absolutely.
82:07You're so right. He's going to move off. Like you agreed with me.
82:12And then like after the trade, uh, you were like, I cannot believe this happened.
82:17I tried to warn you. I tried to warn you.
82:21You did. You know what you did. You did try, you did try and warn me.
82:27And, and I was, I was not helpful. Yeah.
82:30You, you, you knew ball more, you knew draft more than me then.
82:34That was a rare one that I like could predict the market.
82:39I, I'm usually not the best. I think at predicting the market.
82:43That was just a rare, a rare win. All right.
82:47Um, I think we take, this is like really kind of the last tier running back.
82:52Any of these guys is sort of like bill buddy.
82:56What do you think of bill? I, I, I do not understand the market's fascination with Rashad white.
83:02I mean, of all people to be fascinated with Rashad white.
83:06I feel like Jacob is, is number one in knowing better than, than that.
83:11I don't get it. I don't get it at all.
83:15Makes no sense to me. Rashad white is going to be exactly who he is.
83:20You know, I mean, how many, how many points did Rashad white score last year?
83:25Rashad white 8.41 points per game, 572 rushing yards, four rushing touchdowns, 40 receptions, 218 yards.
83:31That sounds about right. That sounds about right for what he's going to do.
83:36I mean, he could do a little bit better than that, but I mean, if anything, and you don't even have to
83:44be a bill bro, you, you can, you can hate bill and you can be, you know, whatever, whatever.
83:51It's just going to be Katron who they're already talking about.
83:54I mean, they literally said the thing, the coaches literally said, yeah, we just want him to be Chris Rodriguez, which for
84:02most of Chris Rodriguez, his career has been looking really, really good in practice.
84:07Kind and waved five times in the same season by the Washington commanders.
84:12Damn. I did not know that. Yeah. It's fun.
84:15So I'm making fun of their shot. White pick while I also am like definitely overweight on Rashad white, like just this
84:23range of running backs like Aaron Jones, Jordan Mason, Rashad white bill load me up on this range.
84:29Less and less because I think we're getting a little bit more info on some later running backs that are making that are sounding more interesting to me.
84:39So I'm a little bit more willing to push it, but yeah, I do have a fair amount of Rashad white, just, you know, ambiguous backfields.
84:49I think it's generally a good bet. But I, the latest quote of like, we want to get bill involved as a
84:56pass catcher and then he could be the feature back to me was, was pretty.
85:02That was so like some people took, some people took that to be very bearish, Neil.
85:07I know. Some people, some people took that to be, Oh, well, they're just going to play Rashad white.
85:14And I took that to be, no, this is a smart game plan from there.
85:20We want, we want it to be bill. We want to get involved in the passing game is how I read it.
85:27It's like, like we, we understand that Rashad white is not going to be an every down back, which to me is
85:35like limits the upside on guys like Rashad white.
85:38Like these guys are not meant to be featured backs.
85:42Whereas bill, if he can just like handle the pass catching, they want him to be a featured back, which is super bullish to me.
85:51Couldn't, couldn't agree more. Rick really, really couldn't agree with that anymore.
85:55All right. Probably time for us to take a quarterback, probably time for us to take Mr.
86:01Mr. Dimes here. Unless there's anyone you really, really want.
86:05No, I like, I like dimes. I don't really like dimes, but he didn't.
86:10Okay. Darnold went. Yeah. I mean, yeah, I don't really like him either.
86:14I was going to say if, if Darnold didn't go, then we could have taken Rashid.
86:20Try and try and do the double tap to us.
86:24Yeah. But, oh, don't please do not even get me started on the, on the hydration break.
86:30I, I'm literally, it's like literally like ruining the world cup.
86:34It's the worst, it's the worst thing of all time.
86:37I absolutely hate it. I'm totally like out of touch with sports culture right now.
86:42I did. I didn't watch the UFC fight on the white house.
86:47I didn't. I didn't watch the world cup. I'm just, yeah.
86:51I watched the UFL championship. We gotta watch. I watched NBA championship.
86:55Uh, anyone, Omar Cooper also gives us I like Omar Cooper.
86:59Yeah. Yeah. That'd be my pick. So now, so now we have got, look at that, look at that sea of green of the shittiest quarterbacks imaginable.
87:08Aaron Rogers, Geno Smith, Mendoza and Brissette. We all have a stacking options at the end here.
87:15So I'm surprised that Aaron, Aaron Rogers has not moved up more.
87:19I feel like after he signed the expectation once he was going to move up to like one 50 or so, and
87:27he just hasn't really budged that much. How much more can a guy who is just never ever getting 20 fantasy points go?
87:35You're right. You're right. Like I, I was, I have a, I was taking a lot of Aaron.
87:41I believe he was like maybe my most drafted quarterback in the pre-draft stuff.
87:46He's still one of my most drafted quarterbacks overall.
87:49Cause my current batch of slows. Oh my God.
87:53This current, I saw your, your stream title is, is slow draft heaven.
87:57I mean, how many, how many are you in right now?
88:01Like 300 ish. Oh, okay. All right. There we go.
88:05Someone, someone who has now joined me in true levels of depravity in terms of slow drafts.
88:11Cause you were trying to do the field general.
88:14Uh, yeah, I did. I did 140 field generals last second.
88:18Um, I'm in 266. So I, I overshot how many I'm in 266.
88:22Um, that's right. Yeah. How many I'm in. I had been thinking about doing a, just like slow draft copy, copy the, the Ben Gretsch old.
88:32Um, and then like, so, so I had this, the thumbnail has just been sitting there for me for a couple of weeks.
88:40And then I saw shady advice has started doing a slow draft hell.
88:45This is his Friday night streams. Um, but yeah, it's, you know, just, we're going to go through, make some picks and then jump into a draft.
88:54Um, save myself some time. You know, I'm going to stream anyway, and I got to make these picks.
89:01Might as well just double up, do them together.
89:04Yeah. Gretsch was, uh, Gretsch was the King, the slow draft, the slow drafting King.
89:09Um, I am just so used to rifling through slow draft picks.
89:14I tried to do it a couple of times.
89:17I was like, Oh, before I start, I'm in 50, I have 50 ones, but like my mental framework for it is
89:25just to blow through the pick so quickly that it was not particularly good content is like when I have a menu of slow drafts, um, it's done.
89:35It's honestly me too. Like, and I did this on one stream already this year and kind of felt like that.
89:42Like I just like, I get so wrapped up in just like making the pick.
89:48Like, and it's just like, I'm going to click this one.
89:51Okay. I'm going to take Stefan Diggs here. Okay.
89:55I'm going to, and it's just like, you don't really talk about it that much.
90:00So I'm going to try to be a little bit better about talking about my picks, the team, like why the pick makes sense, that kind of stuff.
90:10Um, but I'm with you like, cause you also don't want to spend two hours making slow draft picks.
90:17So it's hard to, I don't know. You gotta, gotta find a middle ground there.
90:22It's true. And I mean, slow drafts to me are at this stage of my life.
90:28They are just a necessary evil. I would prefer to be 10 tabling puppies or whatever, just to, to make it all go through quicker.
90:37But I just don't, I don't have as much time and, and I'm trying to, I am trying to do these world cup dailies.
90:45So there really is, you know, there's, there's limited time in the day.
90:50All right, Neil, if we wanted to take another running back now would be the time actually just take our, let's do
90:58our quarterback now, which, which one do you want?
91:01Probably Rogers. Like he's not going to get benched.
91:04He's the one that we know is going to start and he's going to be the quarterback as long as he doesn't get hurt.
91:13Yes, it's true. Uh, I mean, you know, uh, your beauties in the eye of the beholder on that in terms of
91:20how many fantasy points he can generate, but I mean, agreed on that too.
91:25If we're, if we're doing, I mean, I would say Aaron Rogers being a 14th round pick Bryce young being a 13th
91:33round pick CJ Stroud going in the one thirties like nothing could be more evident of the three quarterback meta than this.
91:41Like that is just, yeah, we pushed him way up.
91:45But it's just, it's a, it's a whole new world and you know, everyone got crazy.
91:50The one year taking 10 wide receivers, only doing four running backs and things like that.
91:56But this, this is, is probably correct. Um, all right, we should probably do our last running back here.
92:03What are your, what are you thinking? I'd be fine with Coleman or, uh, Tucker or Braylon Allen.
92:09Let's do, uh, let's do Tucker, Tucker. Tucker. I, I am, I just really like him and you know, as they, as
92:17they famously say, what's, what's the difference between a 15th round pick and an 18th round pick?
92:23They're all just dollar players, Neil. They're all just, they're all just, come on, man.
92:28They're all just dollar players. I, I don't, in fact, actually it's, it's probably even worse than that because let me check.
92:36Sean Tucker is drafted in. Oh, that can't. Okay.
92:39I was going to say it there. I've got the combos on.
92:44So Sean Tucker is drafted in best ball mania, 7.7% of drafts.
92:48So that's almost a hundred percent because 8.3 is a hundred percent.
92:52Yeah. Yeah. So Sean Tucker, and then let's compare that to Jaden blue, who is also like basically a running back three.
93:00Jaden blue is only drafted in 2.8% of drafts.
93:03So that's like, like what, roughly like 30% of the time, something like that.
93:08I would need, I would need someone to break that math out deeper than me.
93:14But basically Sean Tucker is being drafted all of the time, almost a hundred percent of the time, certainly a hundred percent
93:21of the time now because he's like a 14th round pick and other guys with very, very similar ranges of outcomes are not being drafted at all.
93:31And that is a way to get unique in fantasy football.
93:35That does not require drafting George Pickens at the 2.3, like Chess Liam wanted me to do.
93:41At the 2.3. Got to flip the board dude.
93:44Got to flip the board. What's Taj Brooks's draft percentage?
93:48I'm going to guess, I'm going to guess that's a flat zero, sir.
93:52I'm going to guess we've, I'm going to guess Taj Brooks is 0.0.
93:57No 0.1%. All right. So that means that there are drafts in the flock database that someone has taken Taj Brooks.
94:04It might be this guy. It might be this guy drew.
94:08And you know what? Another great point from from my guy, Roni Baloney is that Jaden Blue is legit like a hundred percent drafted last year.
94:18And, and I mean, he wasn't very good. The coach, the coaching staff has said a lot of kind things about him though, but I did not anticipate.
94:28I thought the coaches would be like, yeah, it'd be really great if we didn't have to cut this jabroni, but there
94:35it's, there's all been good stuff there. I mean, they don't have great backups and like they do not have great Javante
94:43as good as Javante was for like part of last year.
94:47He's no sure thing. No. So yeah, I'm sure they would like for Jaden Blue to be something.
94:54Go ahead. Who do you want? I mean, I do like Edna Mitchell, but we have Rogers.
95:00I probably take Jeremy Bernard. All right. Well, you can't, you can't give me, you can't, you can't give me, you can't
95:07give me the Edna Mitchell treat and then pull it back, dude.
95:12That's crazy. You are right. No, I'm a big fan of Edna Mitchell.
95:16That's, that's cool with me. Man, the zone takes Eli Stowers.
95:20So, so you're not, I guess we, we already have two tight ends.
95:25We don't really need Stowers. We do not. We didn't.
95:28And in fact, Wicks would be the better. Our, our wide receivers are Jamar Chase.
95:34And then a bunch of guys, we are hoping to get 11 points in a given week.
95:40We can take Burmy Jernard though. Let's take, let's take Burmy Jernard.
95:44Yeah. All right. There we go. I mean, I don't know.
95:48I don't know how much, how well we, we saved this team.
95:52We did, we did. Okay. If we did, we did the best we could, you know, we, we did, we did the
96:00double, we did the double elite tight end. And I love this.
96:04That's just the way you love this team so much better than you do.
96:09Yeah. This is, I mean, we got once we're done, we'll take a look at our, our different positional buckets.
96:17I'm going to be like, all these look strong to me.
96:20I think, I think you could, I mean, Hey, it's really a matter of what do the scoring distributions for Bowers and McBride look like?
96:29Are there spikes coming on the same week? Are like it is, I mean, it's just kind of how drafting tight ends in general works.
96:38Like you can draft the worst shittiest tight end room, but if they just perfectly dispersed, like TJ Hawkinson, Dalton Schultz and
96:46David and Joku could be the nutted tight end room.
96:50Yeah. Despite them all finishing tight end 11. Or worse.
96:53If their, their numbers just perfectly lay in. And if we basically never have worse than 16 points at tight end.
97:01Yeah. We're going to feel awesome. If one week Trey McBride leaves early, uh, comes back in the game has a 16
97:08yard catch in the fourth quarter, but that's it.
97:12And Bowers only has 44 yards and a touchdown.
97:15And that's kind of all it takes. Like then, then all of a sudden we're just like way behind everyone else.
97:22If that happens. I, I should take back saying that I love this team, but I think this team works.
97:29I think this is a good team to have in the portfolio is actually what I mean when I say that because
97:37like, I think we pulled off the bully tight end pretty well here with, with McBride.
97:43If you're going to have McBride and Bowers, like I feel like we, we didn't get any like crazy great followers, which
97:51is what you really need to love a team.
97:54Um, but we, we got some strong groups, I think in every position to, despite, you know, kind of waiting on our
98:02wide receiver too, and not taking a running back until the late fourth round and waiting on quarterback.
98:08Like, I feel like it all kind of came together.
98:12Okay. I don't, I mean, I don't think it is the, I don't think this is the worst fantasy football team I've ever drafted, you know?
98:21Yes. I mean, obviously one of the things is, is we, we, we don't need it every week, but we need a
98:29decent combination of them both kind of spiking at the same time as well.
98:34Yeah. I mean, we don't need it every week, but yes, that's like the idea of drafting in the second and third round.
98:42Like you would like to have your tight end in the flex frequently, or just like if they ping pong elite, elite
98:50tight end weeks, you know, 22 fantasy points, then then it's okay to not have one in the, in the flex all the time.
98:58For sure. All right. What are you thinking for our last pick here?
99:03So we're at three, five, eight, two, three, five, seven, two, three, five, seven, two.
99:08Okay. Let's see. There is really not an obvious stack for anyone.
99:13We've got week 17 stuff with Christian Kirk or Jacoby Lane or Devon Bailey or Zavian Thomas.
99:19Oh, take your guys, Zavian Thomas. We could take our guys.
99:23It could be my first share if we want to do that.
99:27Um, let's see. There's no great cult slate. Um, no, I assume Pat Bryant is gone.
99:33Pat Bryant just went. Yeah. Who I'm not really that hip to, but Corrine does seem to really like it.
99:40Corrine, Corrine seems to be really, really into it, which we, you know, we did our, um, our perfect draft thing the other day.
99:48Yeah. Yeah. And, and that was his round 18 pick, which I was flummoxed by.
99:54Honestly, he's one that, so Gretz talked about him on, on my podcast, um, talked about it.
100:00Like he thinks Pat Bryant should go in every draft at the very least.
100:05He should be picked in every draft. Um, and there, and the reason is partially like toward the end of the year.
100:12Like there were, there was a game that they, he was injured on the first drive, but they targeted him like three or four times on that.
100:22I think he had three catches on like four targets or something.
100:26Um, like they, he seemed to overtake Troy Franklin late in the year.
100:31The tough thing is obviously they bring in Jalen Waddle and it's like, okay, so is he the wide receiver three and
100:39like how much you love a wide receiver three?
100:42Um, you could make the argument though, that like Cortland Sutton was kind of phased out for a while last year.
100:50And then they brought him back in and he was like the clear alpha down the stretch, but like there's at least,
100:57you know, as far as wide receivers go, I think we have Cortland Sutton pretty like, um, in our minds entrenched as the wide receiver too.
101:07And it might not be as sure a thing.
101:10No, no. I, I actually, that I actually do agree with that.
101:14That's actually a good point. Cortland Sutton has existed the most recent two seasons on the Broncos, like by the reality that
101:22the other guys have been quite poor, but Cortland Sutton is fine.
101:26I mean, but would he stop a true breakout from Pat Bryant or Troy Franklin if they were really ascending?
101:33No. And I think the answer is like clearly my guy, Jim.
101:38I mean, I think Jalen Waddle, I am not, I hate the Broncos.
101:42I hate Sean Payton. I hate Bo Nix. I really hate everyone on the whole organization, but Jalen Waddle is going to like feast.
101:51Jill, if J if people were being intellectually honest, Jalen Waddle would like go where Devonta Smith goes.
101:57He'd be like a two, three turn pick of people were being serious.
102:02I feel like Jalen Waddle is the one that I have just capitulated to all the sharps because I don't like, I don't get excited to draft Jalen.
102:12You don't. You're like, you're like every freaking time I take a stance on this guy in the D.K.
102:18Millie goes to the tent. He leaves every exactly every single game.
102:23He leaves to go to the tent. It's the most frustrating thing.
102:27But like I capitulate because I just recognize that like every sharp person I know loves Jalen Waddle.
102:33I just got to accept that he's he's a really talented player who as long as he doesn't get hurt is going to crush in this often.
102:43It's also the Broncos are just a frustrating team as part of it for me, too, because it's like you say, I
102:51hate Sean Payton because in part because Sean Payton is terrible for fantasy assets because he just will mix up, you know, like like we saw last year.
103:01It's like, oh, suddenly Troy Franklin descending then pulls that back and gives us Pat Bryant a little bit.
103:08I guess Pat Bryant got hurt. So maybe that was part of it.
103:12But I don't know. It's just been it's been a frustrating few years.
103:17It hasn't always been that way for Sean Payton, though.
103:20So so, you know, got to got to keep in mind that he has.
103:25No, it actually has always been that way for Sean Payton.
103:29It's just that he had players who were so spectacular that some of his foibles didn't matter.
103:35Like, like, let's go back and look at like, let's go look at a 2018 Saints team.
103:41I bet there's going to be someone on this team that you and I both forgotten who had 40 catches.
103:49Like like someone who I couldn't conjure out of thin air.
103:52All right. So the Saints that year, seventh in the NFL and passing touchdowns.
103:57They were third in the NFL in points, eighth in yards on that team.
104:02Mark Ingram had one hundred thirty eight rushes. Taysom Hill had thirty seven with two rushing touchdowns.
104:08Yeah. Also on this team, Ben Watson, who was thirty eight, had thirty five catches.
104:14Traequan Smith at twenty eight. Ted Ginn had seventeen.
104:17Josh Hill. I mean, this is literally proof positive, dude.
104:21This is he's always been a dick. He's he just cannot help it.
104:25You know, it's funny. It's Ben Watson. I remember from my college days whenever I hear the name Watson, I think of
104:33my teammate from the cross country team. Nate Brigham would say Ben Watson, just the way he said the name.
104:40I can't. Was he on the Patriots at the time or maybe he was just on his fantasy team?
104:47But either way, he was very excited about Ben Watson.
104:50When you were in college, yes, he would have been.
104:54He would have been on the Patriots. Yeah. Man, he was still Zach line.
104:59Deontay Hardy. I mean, come on, dude. Like this guy.
105:03He just he loves it. He loved he loves it, dude.
105:06He's such a dick. I saw somebody say he plays to win.
105:11Yeah, that's great. Good for him to play to win.
105:14But I don't I want my family. I don't.
105:17Yeah, I don't have. I don't need them to be good.
105:21Yeah. So the answer is, is that to me, I don't really think there will be a winner of Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant.
105:30And I'm the only person who still mentions Marvin Mims and Justin Jolly and and all these guys.
105:36They're all going to have between probably between 15 and 30 receptions.
105:40And it really depend on like health and like in game.
105:4415 and 30 is a little bit bearish. I think like, you know, like any of that group is going to have more than 30 receptions.
105:53Pat Bryant and Pat Bryant. Mike Clay has Pat Bryant for 28 receptions, 320 yards, two touchdowns.
105:59All right. I mean, I guess I'm taking the over.
106:03I'm taking the over on 30 from someone beyond Waddle and Sutton.
106:07No, no. It's someone. Yes. Someone on this group.
106:11I mean, it's just very funny that Michael Bandy is in this group.
106:15That's some Sean Payton shit is, is that someone from this group will probably cleanly win the job, but cleanly winning the
106:23job is going to be like 62% of the routes.
106:27Yeah. Yeah. I guess it won't be, it won't be, it won't be like, put it this way.
106:33There will never be a time where Pat Bryant is 19% owned in the Millie maker won't happen.
106:39The conditions, the conditions would not, I mean, maybe if Sutton or Waddle gets hurt.
106:45I think like the right matchup. Yeah, you're right.
106:48I mean that, that probably if both are healthy, I would say I'm a little bit more bullish on the standalone value
106:56just from the standpoint I just laid out of what if he just surpasses Cortland Sutton?
107:01Like, I don't think that's that crazy to have Pat Bryant just surpass Cortland Sutton.
107:07It's obviously not the likeliest outcome, but I think it's within the range of outcomes because they just spent pretty good.
107:14What was he? Second round pick last year. Oh, he's a third round pick, but then he was pretty good last year.
107:22They were starting to feature more. I don't know.
107:25So I think it's within the range of outcomes.
107:28Obviously not the likelihood. I also obviously have not been drafting a ton of Cortland Sutton.
107:34Have you been in on Sutton at all? Oh, no.
107:38I was going to say Sutton might be Sutton might be one of like my like truly like least drafted players.
107:45Like he might be in like my. Like I've drafted him 20 times, but like sub 1% of him or whatever.
107:53Yeah, I did my podcast with Debro on last Wednesday and he suggested Cortland Sutton.
107:58I was like Cortland Sutton had not even crossed my mind.
108:02I just like don't even see the name when it's there.
108:06Cortland Sutton. I've drafted eight times through 625 completed drafts on underdog fantasy.
108:10All right. So more than me, I think. No, you are.
108:14You are not misremembering that Pat Bryant was sort of taking over.
108:19Yeah, but it was like literally just one drive.
108:22He got hurt after one drive. He got hurt after one drive.
108:26I think maybe I'm thinking of a different game, but I think it was that game.
108:32No, I'm fairly certain you are correct. Okay. Jamar Chase.
108:35Let's break this down. Jalen Hurts, Daniel Jones, Aaron Rogers, David Montgomery, DeAndre Swift, Jalen Warren, JCM, Sean Tucker, Jamar Chase, Josh
108:43Downs, Michael Pittman Jr., Stephon Diggs, Omar Cooper, Adnan Mitchell, Jeremy Bernard, Zabian Thomas, Brock Bowers, Trey McBride.
108:50It could be it could be better. Could it be worse?
108:54I think this is a perfectly cromulent team. Could we have taken I wonder if Darnell Washington went because I might I
109:01might have preferred Darnell Washington over Zabian Thomas. We've already got a big Pittsburgh bet, but I know I that's that's fine.
109:09I think you're I think you're probably right or or Friermuth, honestly.
109:13Yeah. Yeah. Either one who I assume Friermuth is gone, but maybe I'm wrong about the the order in there.
109:21Yeah, I think both are perfectly fine bets. But yeah, like I think so our tight ends obviously elite like we're good at tight end.
109:29We don't need to talk about that. I think our quarterbacks are totally fine.
109:34We have Jalen Hurts. I think he like he's too cheap for his upside and we added on two more quarterbacks.
109:42Our wide receivers I think are pretty strong like Jamar Chase obviously elite.
109:47Then we don't take another till 94, but we get there with volume.
109:51I think digs is going to be a riser.
109:54Obviously, we already took him ahead of ADP, but we got some some strong values at wide receiver.
110:01We had one of Omar Cooper Adnan Mitchell is going to win out and be the wide receiver to there.
110:08Hopefully we just need one of them to take off.
110:11I don't know. I think our wide receivers are fine and then our running backs similarly are fine.
110:18So I think it's I guess we kind of come out similar in our thought where it's like, yeah, it's not my
110:26favorite team ever, but I think based on, you know, doing the elite tight end thing, I think it works as a
110:34team that if those two crush like this is a good team to have in the portfolio.
110:40Yeah, no, I'm I if you're drafting a billion teams, you should do some stuff like this is one of those.
110:47I wouldn't I wouldn't say this is something you should do.
110:51If you're like, even if you're drafting 100 teams, I would say it's probably you don't need to do it.
110:58But if you are, if you are someone like us, you can you can do that.
111:04All right. Neil. Tell the people about the flannel verse and then actually real quick.
111:09You guys think there are like 40 likes on this stream.
111:13I'm going to I'm going to not do this stream anymore.
111:17I'm going to quit and go hang out with my baby unless you guys can get it to 100 likes.
111:24What are we doing? Tell the people tell the people about the flannel verse.
111:29Yeah, the flannel verse is my channel where I just do an NFL these days.
111:34I've done a little bit of everything, but these days just to an NFL.
111:39I'm doing streams every Monday by myself Tuesdays with JSU from run pure sports.
111:44And then on Wednesdays rotating guest best ball whenever is my podcast.
111:49You can also find that wherever you get your podcast will come out each the following Thursday.
111:55Yeah. And then during during the NFL season, obviously I'm doing showdown stuff.
111:59I'm doing all all types of DFS content during the season.
112:03But yeah, right now you can find best ball stuff.
112:07I'll probably add to the schedule as well. But right now, Monday through Wednesday doing streams today.
112:13We're going to start with some some slow drafts and then work our way to a best ball mania.
112:20All right. There you go. You guys will be automatically redirected there.
112:24Neil. Thank you for hopping on. I appreciate you, bro.
112:27Have a nice day. All right, guys. How many how many likes do we have?
112:33I'm going to go check. I'm going to go check right now.
112:37And if you guys don't get to the requisite number of likes, I'm out of here because it's a beautiful, beautiful sunny day.
112:45Outside right now, really, really couldn't be nicer outside.
112:48I could be walking my dog. I could be I could take my I could take my son to the pool.
112:56I could go kill some weeds. There's a lot of stuff that I could be doing outside that is not hanging out with you guys.
113:05And how many likes are there? 76, bro. Come on.
113:0876. I can't do I can't be doing that.
113:12Let's let's actually while we're here waiting for you guys to get 100 likes.
113:17I actually want to check my exposures. So my overall exposures right now.
113:21The player I have got drafted. If we don't get the requisite number of likes, if we can't get 100 likes, then
113:29you guys all have to draft Cortland Sutton. That's the deal.
113:33That's the deal. Luther Burden. 152. Wow. All right.
113:36We have we have crested. We have crested the thousand dollar barrier.
113:40Look at this. Luther Burden. 24 percent. Terrence Ferguson.
113:4423 percent. Gunner Helm. 23 percent. Xavier Worthy. 22.
113:47Zachariah Branch. 22. Kenneth Walker. 21. Mahomes. 21. You know what's sad is my Mahomes is going to go down.
113:54I'm not going to. I'm not going to. Have that much Mahomes because he's getting more expensive now.
114:00What is the math behind the portfolio grade? So I believe and I would have to confirm this with the devs, but
114:08I believe the way the portfolio grade works is it's literally an average of all these teams.
114:14So it is an average of all the 625 teams I have tossed in here inside of of the pool.
114:21I wonder what my best one is. Let's sort by sort by ADP score.
114:26This is my this is my best team. Is Daniels, Herbert and Mahomes.
114:31Tootin, Price, Warren. Brian Robinson. Singleton. Clayball. OK, so this was a pre draft one.
114:36Puka, Nico, Flowers, Downs in the 13th, Concepcion, Hunter, Debo, Bowers at 210, Gadsden and T-Ferg.
114:42Pretty good. Davis. Davis looking at his chief's exposure and Liam looking at his bills exposure as a Spider-Man pointing at each other meme.
114:50Yeah. I'll just take just take a hydration break.
114:54How does the tool account for advanced rates based on historical position prices that have the new ADP landscape?
115:00It doesn't. It doesn't. Not yet. Not yet. The way the way that the guys have built the tool was they really
115:08wanted to get something out for this iteration of Best Ball Mania.
115:13Yes, it is a team portfolio grade, not an individual player exposure portfolio grade.
115:18Although potentially we could potentially we could figure something out.
115:21I mean, like I said, if any of you guys do have ideas, like if there's something you're like, oh man, I
115:29really wish that my portfolio had this. I really wish that I could view this.
115:34I really wish that there was a way to look at my fantasy teams like this.
115:40If you let me know, I can communicate that to the flock devs and it is very easy.
115:46Not very. I mean, I guess I shouldn't say it's very easy, but it is something that the team is willing to work on basically more or less.
115:56All right. Final draft of the stream. You guys did not get the requisite number of likes, but you basically you more or less called my bluff.
116:06So shout out to you for that. And we are drafting at the two slot with raise 84, Nordy, Jeff double zero
116:14nine, park had seven d cash two, two three.
116:17I am or in 84 a. I koozie Matt Nagy disciple.
116:21That is the funniest underdog name I've seen. Matt.
116:24Matt Nagy disciple is a very good bit. E diddy NYC Zach W and Z staff.
116:30Let's get it. Yes, there is. So your super flex drafts get imported, but we do not have historical data.
116:37For the super flex, though. All of the stack in the week 17 information and everything, all of that stuff does show up in the super flex.
116:47So I still use it when I'm making my super left super super flex picks.
116:52Yeah, I do not know. I do not know why they refuse to stop the clock during the hydration break.
116:59It's I mean, the whole hydration like seriously do not get me started.
117:04It is basically the single most annoying thing in my life right now.
117:08It tells you that probably tells you a lot about my life, but man, is it annoying?
117:14Really, really tilts me. Reception perception had a doctor on who said he was hard fading Bucky this year.
117:21Not sure what that's worth because of the because of the shoulder injury.
117:26He thinks it's going to be he thinks there is going to be a recurrence of the of the shoulder injury.
117:33I mean, I can I can I can I can see a recurrent shoulder injury.
117:38The league is going to be drastically different from this season last year.
117:43I actually tend to think that's true because I think we're sort of at a breaking point in football right now where
117:51offenses cannot continue to be as anemic as they have been.
117:55And I don't think defenses can afford to be as aggressive as they have been.
118:00In terms of their. Post snap. Coverage changing. Because I do think one of the really interesting things is that some of
118:08the really high end quarterbacks, some of the really smart quarterbacks.
118:12You know, your Allen's, your Herbert's, your Burroughs, your Mahomes is your Daniels is your Lamars.
118:18I think these guys ultimately one of the things that has sort of been lost in football the most recent couple of
118:25years has just been trusting your arm, trusting yourself to make the throws.
118:30I mean, it's one of the things that has been so bad about Kansas City's offense is to some degree.
118:37Mahomes has kind of stopped trusting his arm and certainly stopped trusting his wide receivers down the field.
118:44The only guy he really liked to throw down the field to last year was Taekwon and Taekwon wasn't even playing all that much.
118:52Like I do think more quarterbacks, you know, there's this saying in football that the right number of interceptions is not zero.
119:00And it does feel like we've kind of gotten away from that.
119:04But I couldn't agree more. The right number of interceptions is definitely not zero.
119:09And we are not seeing much of that happen.
119:12Come on, Nordy. Do not take Bowers, bro. Don't take him.
119:16Take anyone else other than Bowers. Take Jeremiah Love.
119:20Take George Pickens. Take Tramie McBride. This guy's auto-drafting.
119:23He's going to auto-draft him. Just the... Oh, bang!
119:26All right, let's go! Let's go! Bijon, Bowers, and then give me Pickens.
119:31Give me the cover boy Pickens. Yeah, Aaron Rodgers definitely, definitely disagrees.
119:35Aaron Rodgers has always thought the right number of turnovers is zero, which is just not right.
119:41You know, you do... You've got to be more aggressive, particularly in this version of the NFL, where explosive plays are down, you know, long...
119:50And it's why NFL teams have placed such a premium on Yak that I kind of disagree with.
119:56Yak is obviously good, but the easiest way to get the ball from point A to point B is throwing it.
120:04That is the easiest way. It is much harder to run the ball whether you do it via Yak or whether you
120:12hand the ball off from point A to point B.
120:15It's easiest to throw it. It's exactly this hard.
120:18It's actually... This is actually so appropriate that there is this old line in poker that if you are never caught bluffing, then you are not bluffing enough.
120:28That is exactly what we have seen with offenses, where offenses have more or less stopped bluffing.
120:34And the stop bluffing is these teams are not throwing it deep anymore.
120:39The average depth of target across the NFL... I mean, let's go...
120:43I can actually pull this up on Pro Football Reference.
120:47So I can go to... It always takes me...
120:50Okay, advanced passing. So let's go look at some of the average intended area yards from 2025.
120:56Average intended area yards per attempt. You've got May leading the league at 9.1.
121:01Mahomes down at 7.9. Dak at 8. So everyone's kind of hovering around like 7 or whatever.
121:07So let's go do this for... For example, let's go to 2021.
121:11Let's go look at what it was in 2021.
121:14In 2021, you've got Russell Wilson, Fields, and Lamar who are all higher than that.
121:20League average was 7.7. You had Mahomes... Actually, where is Mahomes?
121:24Oh, Mahomes is lower. I would not have predicted that.
121:27I guess... I guess he is such a... He is such a...
121:32They throw so many screens. They do all that stuff to Kelsey.
121:36I mean, how about this? Teddy Bridgewater... I had completely memory wiped.
121:40Did you guys remember Teddy Bridgewater started 14 games for the Denver Broncos?
121:45I did not remember that at all. That is...
121:48That is... That is basically new information to me.
121:51My goodness, I did not remember that. That was the...
121:55That was the Kendall Hilton... Kendall Hinton... I had to start a game for them at quarterback.
122:01I mean... It's just... It's just so different. Average...
122:04Intended air yards over 5,000 for five different players.
122:07And if we go to 2025, there's no chance.
122:10Is anyone over 5,000? Probably just May. Intended air yards...
122:14Just... Yeah, just Stafford. I mean, it's like the...
122:17It's like the sport is so different. You know?
122:20And in a way that has made fantasy football way worse.
122:24I mean, I would take... I'd take Scadaboo for the...
122:28Just for the little ADP dipperino right here. I don't mind taking McLaurin.
122:32Yeah, we're gonna take Scad. Alright, so Bijon, Scadaboo, Pickens, and Bowers.
122:37I wonder if the offensive renaissance would have happened last year if there hadn't been so many major injuries.
122:43It could be. Certainly could be. Alright, another guy I don't take very often.
122:48All the math guys are very high on Devontae Adams.
122:52I'm not exactly there with them, but it's sort of interesting.
122:56Teddy Bridgewater 2021 team will be a million dollar question.
122:59It's true. I think the change could be slower if it requires teams to run effectively again to eliminate the default two-high defenses.
123:08Unless NFL defenses have gone too far, Benny, on the side of getting smaller.
123:13Because NFL defenses have consciously gotten smaller. They are prioritizing smaller linebackers.
123:17More teams spent more money on third safeties, fourth defensive backs, fifth defensive backs.
123:22A lot of teams are just using nickel as their base personnel, so it's obviously easier to run there.
123:29Now, we also have a lot of good teams with very strong running games now.
123:34Right? So if you look at the best teams, I mean, funnily enough, I don't actually think Denver's running game is going
123:42to be that good because I don't think Harvey and Dobbins are all that good.
123:47But the Patriots have a great running back tandem.
123:50The Bills have James Cook. You have got the Chiefs who signed Ken Walker.
123:55You've got Hampton back for the Chargers. You have the Ravens with Derrick Henry.
124:00The Bengals don't have a great running game. The Eagles with Barkley.
124:05Like, I do think there is a good chance that we do see I, and maybe it's just hope.
124:11Like, maybe I am just hoping and I, I mean, don't get me wrong.
124:16I am hoping against hope that we get back to what the NFL used to look like.
124:22How much Bowers do you have and if you're drafting Matun, do you always do three tight end with him in these builds?
124:31Well, I can check. Bowers teams, I have taken Bowers 99 times and on those teams I take three tight ends 75%
124:38of the time and I take two tight ends 25% of the time.
124:4359% of the time I take seven receivers. 42%, okay, well, these are all, a lot of these are pre-drafts so let's
124:51remove draft kings, remove pre-draft and remove super flex.
124:54So I've taken Bowers 45 times and just standard under the, oh, back on the clock.
125:00I'm going to take Marv. I never really take Marv.
125:03I'm going to take Marv. And then I, do I take Dak here?
125:08I can't take Dak here, right? Taking Dak here is silly.
125:12I should probably just take Hertz or maybe, maybe Jalen Warren.
125:16Yeah, I'm going to take Jalen Warren actually. Nope.
125:19All right, he goes, I'm going to take, I'm going to take Hertz.
125:24Hertz, tack over Hertz, man, I can't get there.
125:27So 45 drafts, I take three tight ends, 56% of the time, two tight ends, 44% of the time.
125:34I mean, I do just think that like once you get past about pick 115 or so, it does just, it does
125:41kind of just feel like the tight ends, not even feel, it just is the case that the tight end picks project better than the wide receivers.
125:51I mean, that is, that is just the, that is just the way she goes.
125:56So three quarterbacks is going to give us a 17% historical advance rate, a bad spot with the running backs because I
126:04only have two wide receiver says I should take eight.
126:08And then, yeah, I'm just not on a great part of the game tree.
126:13I see your Bowers McBride team and I raise you a Bowers McBride leveling team.
126:18See that I don't think is great. I mean, maybe you do, maybe if you're drafting a thousand teams, you, you literally do, you literally do one.
126:28I don't know how many, how many teams would you have to draft for that to be optimal to put in your portfolio?
126:36Seems like Belgium is having a very tough time against Egypt, by the way.
126:41And should I have taken Hertz there? I guess I can take Goddard later because that should be good.
126:48And then, and then if you have Hertz, you can always take Mendoza.
126:52And I, I think I like Mendoza more for fantasy than sort of your, your average fantasy football analyst.
126:59The only thing that would put a Bowers McBride leveling team over the top is Charlie Kilar.
127:05You know, what's funny is I kind of liked Charlie Kilar as a prospect at Iowa State.
127:11I, I really, I really didn't think he was, um, I really didn't think he was that bad.
127:18I, I mean, I believe he, I believe he led Iowa State in receiving his player value dropping with every round of
127:25the draft, kind of an illusion of Henderson going in third, still be a bad pick.
127:31Uh, yes, it's certainly an illusion. What is the difference between Roma Dunze and Jordan Addison?
127:37What is the difference between Jordan Tyson and Jaden Reed?
127:40I mean, they're players in a snake draft. Players just have to go in an order, you know, that, that is the,
127:48that is the nature of the beast. They all, they all got to go in an order.
127:54And then there is a weight tied to that over we, we literally weigh ourselves down, um, by ADP.
128:01All right. Well, you can't stop me. I'm going to take Xavier worthy.
128:06And then my next pick is probably going to be Jonathan Brooks, Jonathan Brooks at 98.
128:11I mean, we're getting, we're getting pretty, is Rashad wide available?
128:15All right. Wherever Jacob is, shout out to him.
128:18Let him know that I just took Rashad wide at pick 98.
128:23Who is this year? CLV King going to be?
128:26I don't know. Let me go, let me go check.
128:29Let me go check my portfolio. Let me, let me select all, let me clear all the filters, all the slates.
128:37Uh, can I sort by Delta? Looks like, looks like it's Jonathan Brooks right now.
128:42Looks like it's Jonathan Brooks right now. Jonathan Brooks looks like the big Rashad white, big CLV guy, Florinoy, uh, Dulcich, Keaton
128:50Missal, uh, Antonio, Antonio Williams, Aaron Rogers, all, all some potential options for CLV King this year.
128:56It's true. Hertz does allow you access to the Eagles 49ers week 17 game, which promises to be a banger.
129:03Yes. I obviously I understand that there's difference in the guy's portfolio and there's difference in, um, the likelihood of them hitting
129:11their ceilings, but the range of outcomes for a lot of these guys is just so much more similar than we ever want to take credit for.
129:21Like we want to be like, all right, Michael Pittman Jr.
129:25is just going at pick 104 and that's where he's going to stay and nothing is really going to change much.
129:32You know, Quentin Johnston goes in pick 80 because that's just where he goes.
129:37Yes. If I, you does sign in trade. So if he does sign, if he, if he comes back to the 49ers
129:45gets traded to the commanders, I mean, Brandon, I could rise a hundred spots in, in ADP probably digs digs is going to be a big riser.
129:54I mean, in terms of percentage, AJ Brown has, uh, has gone quite a bit, which is nice.
130:01I mean, nice on, depending on your perspective, I'm not drafting him right now.
130:06Chris Rodriguez. Yeah. Chris Rodriguez was very, very cheap.
130:09I mean, who, who thought he was getting two years, $12 million from the Jaguars.
130:14That was, that was one of the most out of left field deals I can ever remember.
130:20Concepcion is not bad here. Who am I thinking?
130:24I guess I missed on Stafford. Do I want to take Shuck and try and do the back door?
130:30I could do that. I could take Jordan Mason.
130:34Uh, that is what I'm going to do. I'm going to do Shuck and I'm going to set this up to be a Valey Juwan Johnson team.
130:43I think is going to be the plan. Sean Tucker big.
130:47Jonathan Brooks has been big. Yeah. I mean, Jonathan Brooks is, is the current CLV champ.
130:53I think. Um, you know what? Hertz and Shuck B.
130:56John Scadaboo Rashad away, Jordan Mason, George Pickens, Devante Adams, Marvin Harrison Jr.
131:01Xavier Worthy and Brock Bowers kind of disrespectful to only have him listed as Marvin Harrison and not have him listed as Marvin Harrison Jr.
131:10Honestly, you know what? You're right. Live a little.
131:13I be a game changer for the Saints offense.
131:16Let's check the ESPN. Catherine Terrell was talking to Kellen Moore.
131:20There's optimism surrounding the receivers after the Saints selected Tyson, Bryce Lance and Barron Brown.
131:26Tyson is limited. Alave has been limited and that's all I got from ESPN.
131:31Do we have any good? Oh, Bryce Lance. Yeah, nothing.
131:34Yahoo Sports. I mean, this is just going to be AI slop.
131:38I agree. I agree. Diggs is a must draft right now.
131:42Can Mike Washington get an honorable mention from the pre-draft streets?
131:46Went from undrafted to taken top 100 to undrafted again.
131:50Yeah, I was the one drafting him in the top 100 basically.
131:54When they say Mahomes is ready for week one, he will rise, right?
131:59Yeah, he probably will. I mean, I think everyone just knows that's going to happen right now.
132:05Wow. All right. I got AI slopped. This is, I mean, this is really some AI slop.
132:11Oh, it's a, it's a video. How soon can Bryce Lance be?
132:15I thought it was literally just could be the future wide receiver, but it's, I mean, this is AI slop right there.
132:23Dude, you can't go anywhere. You cannot go anywhere on the internet without getting accosted by this just awful, awful AI slop.
132:31And don't get me wrong. I do use large language models to help with my career.
132:36I mean, you know, it's just me Davis, Davis Matic Davis Matic industries is a one man operation, but man, the slop is out of control.
132:46Who is winning the U S open? Cameron Young is winning the U S open Cameron Young by, if I could only
132:53make one bet today, it would be on, on cam young, Malik Willis at 127.
132:59All right, what are we going to do here?
133:02We've got a two, four, four, one Goddard, I think is a pretty obvious pick.
133:07I mean, I guess we could wait for Stowers if there was someone I really wanted to take.
133:14It's true. He did. He did cut his hair.
133:17I did. I don't, I don't like that. I just cut my hair.
133:22And, uh, although I didn't feel like I lost my powers, I feel like it actually helped me quite a bit.
133:29I, uh, I getting a haircut when you have big, crazy long hair does actually feel quite nice.
133:35All right. I mean, this is, this is maybe just going to be the class.
133:41Okay. Well, Goddard went, so I guess we're, I guess we're setting up Stowers.
133:46Oh, I'm actually, nevermind. No, I'm not. I'm taking, I'm taking Juwan Johnson here.
133:51So I'm going to take Hunter first. And then there's no way Juwan Johnson gets back to me at 167.
133:58Is there? Uh, it would be close, but I'm just going to take him anyway.
134:03Ooh, Alex. That's spicy, Ryan. Fleetwood. I don't, I don't mind.
134:07I don't mind Fleetwood. Uh, I, I, I'm a big fan of him.
134:12You know, Fleetwood is one of those guys who when I watch him on YouTube, he becomes even more likable to me.
134:20All right, there we go. So we've got hurts shock B.
134:24John scat or shot white, Jordan Mason, George Pickens, Adams, Marv, worthy hunter.
134:28I wonder what my combo worthy hunter exposure is.
134:31It's got to be really high. So worthy, I've got what?
134:35Like 22% of, yeah, 22% worthy and hunter together 28 times on 625 teams.
134:40All right, well, hey, hope, hope that's the combo you need to have this year.
134:46I have cut and donated my hair before, Benny.
134:49Speaking of blowouts, the Hurricanes were partying at the Poly D concert last night.
134:54Man, tough, tough scene for the National Hockey League because there was so much going on in the world of sports last night.
135:02I don't think that anybody knew that the Hurricanes just won the Stanley Cup.
135:07I protested the NBA finals and the NHL Stanley Cup finals because my teams were eliminated in the respective Western Conference finals
135:15of both the NHL and the NBA, so I was out.
135:19Not for me, not watching. Yes, Godderup would be nice for me.
135:23I've got some nice pending Godderup tickets, so I'd be very fine with Godderup winning.
135:28I'd be very fine with Brooks Koepka winning. I would be fine with my guy Jordan winning.
135:34A kid I've played with a few times, missed U.S.
135:38Open qualifying by one stroke. Oof. Ooh. That's tough.
135:41Win to game two. Yes, hey, going to a finals game, World Series, NBA Finals, all the best.
135:48Of those, I have only been to a World Series game, World Series game seven game seven, actually.
135:54And man, was it like nothing else I've ever experienced inside of a sports stadium.
135:59Been to a couple Thunder games. They're very intense.
136:02I went to Thunder Warriors the year the Warriors went 72-0.
136:06That was one of the wildest regular season games I've ever been to.
136:11Chiefs, Mahomes games, also very intense. Going to sports games is the best.
136:16But as you age, let me tell you, you get to be in your 30s and you're like, oh man, I'm in my 30s.
136:24Do I really want to leave the house for this?
136:28A lot of times the answer is no. You know what?
136:32Bigsby with Hertz could actually be fine here. Let's do that.
136:36Saquon gets hurt. The team airs it out a little bit more.
136:40More of the fantasy points shift in that direction.
136:43Yeah, sorry, 72 and 10. Thank you. Brewers Word Series and Canes is all I can think to justify.
136:50Yeah, it is. It is so fun. I've also been to a major championship.
136:55I've been to the PGA. I went to the PGA.
136:58I'm taking Debo here. I went to the PGA when it was at Belle Reve Country Club when Brooks was chasing down Tiger.
137:07Which World Series game seven? Well, sadly, JB, it was a completely brutal one.
137:11I went to the game seven that Madison Bumgarner pitched the final six innings.
137:16My Kansas City Royals lost in game seven to the San Francisco Giants.
137:21Just Madison Bumgarner reached in the chest of the greater Kansas City area and just yanked.
137:27Oh, I mean, just thinking back to the triple, you know, that Gordon hit off the wall.
137:33Should he have tried to go home? I don't know.
137:36I mean, probably not. Hadn't thought about that one in a while.
137:41Those wounds are fresh. Well, they're not fresh, but they're still deep.
137:45What do I think? This is actually a great question from Peter.
137:49Where do I think that Alec Pierce should go?
137:52Like, if you got your mind wiped, men in black mind wiped, and you get to come back and think about where
138:00you should go, Alec Pierce should probably go in the 100s with Pearsall, Pittman, Myers, Worthy, Concepcion, Downs, and I think Downs should probably go ahead of him.
138:10Ooh, I'm probably a golf coach because my uncle took me to the 08 US Open at Torrey.
138:17I mean, what an event to go to. Torrey Pines, incredible golf course, incredible scenes.
138:22Ooh, getting to watch Mizrowski pitch. That is fun.
138:25I've been to, I've only been a one game this year, took my son to Royals Cardinals, and the very first home
138:33run, it's actually very cool to me, my very first son, my very first son, the very first home run that my
138:41son was ever witness to was Salvador Perez hitting a home run in the second inning, which is very cool because Salvador
138:49Perez was on those 2014-2015 World Series Royals. teams.
138:52So, I mean, obviously, he's so little he won't remember, but I will remember.
138:57So, when he's like 10, 11, 12, I'll be able to tell him that, and that is, that will be a very
139:05cool memory for me to impart to my son.
139:08All right, two more picks, probably passing on Stowers, can do, is Adonai Mitchell still there?
139:14Adonai Mitchell is still there, so I think I know what I'm about to do at this turn.
139:20This guy behind me, shouldn't want a quarterback by ADP.
139:24Yeah, I'm going to take Geno and then just really hope that he is not an Adonai Mitchell truther, this guy behind me.
139:32Is there anything worse than drafting with an Adonai Mitchell truther?
139:36I mean, I thought I was the only one in the world.
139:40I've recently learned that there are other sick freaks out there who call him ADD Mitchell and are just waiting for the breakout.
139:48I mean, he has already broken up. That's the thing.
139:52Adonai Mitchell has already had multiple breakout games in the NFL.
139:56We just got, dude, watch out, world. If AD Mitchell gets his head screwed on straight, it's over.
140:02Jets win the AFC East. their 11 personnel is frankly terrifying.
140:06Like, if Gino Smith is any good, the team is going to be crazy.
140:11All right, there we go. We do get Adonai Mitchell.
140:14I mean, how many, let's look at the Mike Clay projections for this team.
140:19How many teams have a definitely better 11 personnel than the Jets?
140:24It can't be that many, right? So you've got Brees, very strong running back, Garrett Wilson, A.D.
140:30Mitchell, Sadiq. That's a lot of targets for Garrett Wilson.
140:33Wow, he has him as the wide receiver 9.
140:36154 targets. 69 for Adonai Mitchell. 90 for Kenyon Sadiq.
140:4090 targets for Kenyon Sadiq. All right. I'll be a truther of almost any round 718 pick.
140:46Jake, you're so full of shit because you, you, you love to get on my case about anyone I like.
140:53I mean, you just every time I make a pick, you just love to be like, yeah, dude, imagine taking that guy.
141:01That guy sucks, dude. That guy stinks. I didn't even look at the quarterback projection.
141:06531 pass attempts, 3,800 yards, 20 touchdowns. I mean, that would be, that would be a good season for Geno for sure.
141:1480 broke out for about 15 steps until he fumbled that ball.
141:18That would be a great sliding glass doors moment.
141:22I would love, I would love to go back in time and see what would happen in the world.
141:28If, if 80 Mitchell didn't fumble that ball, what, what path does the Colt season take?
141:34You know, what path does, does Daniel Jones ever get injured?
141:38Do you think taking at least five combined quarterback and tight ends is optimal in every draft?
141:44It's probably, it's probably not as optimal as, as I do it, but it does feel, it does feel very safe, Will.
141:52It's very, it's very cozy. Sadiq for sure has a super, super wide range of outcomes.
141:58I mean, Sadiq could be behind Mason Taylor. He could be second on the team in targets.
142:04I mean, I don't even think the Jets know really at, at this stage.
142:09dude. So true. Alec Pierce doesn't get that contract.
142:12Pierce made a hundred million off that fumble. That's actually so real.
142:16Okay. Final. Click in this draft. We feel good at running back.
142:20Who do I want to take as my last wide receiver here?
142:25Let's do, you know what? Vele. Vele. All right.
142:28Jalen hurts. Tyler Shuck. Geno Smith. Bijan Robinson. Cam Scadaboo.
142:31Rashad White. Jordan Mason. Tank Bigsby. George Pickens. Devante Adams.
142:35Marvin Harrison. Xavier Worthy. Travis Hunter. Debo Samuel. Adonai Mitchell.
142:39Devon Vele. Brock Bowers. And Juwan Johnson. Love to see it.
