Player analysis
Player insights
Adam Randall
PositiveSleeper82:21
Adam Randall is a sneaky late-round pick who could replace Derrick Henry's role if Henry were to miss time; he is a massive, versatile player with a receiving background.
Insight pageBreece Hall
NegativeValue23:52
Pete Nova ranks both Josh Jacobs and Javonte Williams ahead of Breece Hall at their current draft cost.
Insight pageBrenton Strange
PositiveUsage75:35
JJ Zachariason highlights Brenton Strange as an overlooked asset, noting he recorded 10 red zone targets in his last six games and will be valuable for the Jaguars in the middle of the field.
Insight pageBrock Purdy
NegativeProjection37:19
Brock Purdy's ranking requires adjustment due to the injury status of Ricky Pearsall and Kirk, though he remains a high-end quarterback target with significant yardage and touchdown upside.
Insight pageBucky Irving
NegativeValue38:45
Bucky Irving is considered undervalued at pick 70 overall, with the market fade having gone too far according to Pete.
Insight pageCaleb Williams
NegativeProjection55:40
Caleb Williams is ranked as a QB12-13, with the market being higher on him than the analysts, though he offers significant rushing upside.
Insight pageCeeDee Lamb
NegativeValue7:14
Pete Nova expresses minor reservations about CeeDee Lamb but selects him at the 1.11 turn based on board value, as he is ranked 13th overall.
Insight pageChris Olave
PositiveValue20:29
JJ Zachariason considers Chris Olave a slam-dunk selection and a dynasty WR1.
Insight pageCourtland Sutton
PositiveValue52:35
Cortland Sutton represents great value at pick 98, significantly lower than his 70 ADP, providing a strong option even without a stack.
Insight pageNegativeProjection81:15
Cortland Sutton is projected for a 19% target share and 107 targets in the Denver offense.
Insight pageDak Prescott
PositiveValue35:33
Dak Prescott is a strong target at quarterback 10 or 11 because there are few players on the board ahead of him that offer similar value, making him an easy click for drafters.
Insight pageDarnell Mooney
NegativeProjection68:03
Darnell Mooney is a solid player when healthy, projected for 600-900 receiving yards, but his production is difficult to predict due to availability issues.
Insight pageDeebo Samuel
PositiveRole73:43
Deebo Samuel's return to the 49ers is a great fit due to his familiarity with the system, though his ADP will likely rise following the news.
Insight pageDeshaun Watson
PositiveProjection64:08
Deshaun Watson is expected to remain the starter for the Browns, as the team remains heavily committed to him.
Insight pageEli Stowers
PositiveBreakout65:39
Eli Stowers is a viable upside play who could push into a starting role if Dallas Goedert suffers an injury.
Insight pageEmeka Egbuka
PositiveBreakout15:14
JJ Zachariason views Emeka Egbuka as a future round-one caliber player for next year's drafts.
Insight pageEvan Engram
NegativeRole64:52
Evan Engram remains the starting tight end for his team; despite a disappointing previous season, his connection with play-caller Davis Webb makes him an interesting late-round target.
Insight pageJahmyr Gibbs
PositiveProjection3:14
JJ Zachariason identifies Jahmyr Gibbs as his personal 1.01 overall player in this format.
Insight pageJalen Coker
PositiveSleeper57:25
Jalen Coker is a high-interest sleeper target who was unfortunately sniped in the draft, highlighting his value as a late-round prospect.
Insight pageJalen McMillan
PositiveRole67:16
Jalen McMillan is a key player to watch as the potential WR2 for the Buccaneers, especially given the injury concerns surrounding Ricky Pearsall and Mike Evans.
Insight pageJames Conner
PositiveValue62:58
James Conner is a high-value late-round dart throw in best ball formats, currently going in round 19; he still has plenty left in the tank and fits a role similar to David Montgomery's.
Insight pagePositiveValue169:01
Pete and JJ Zachariason discuss James Conner as a late-round target who could be cut or traded to a running-back-needy team like the Packers or 49ers, potentially increasing his value.
Insight pageJames Cook
PositiveValue6:58
Pete Nova ranks James Cook as his eighth overall player, placing him ahead of Justin Jefferson (12th) and CeeDee Lamb (13th).
Insight pageJaylen Waddle
PositiveProjection7:53
Jalen Waddle is projected for a 21% target share (118 targets) and 1,281 yards, with a return to his early-career yards-per-reception efficiency.
Insight pagePositiveValue25:03
Pete Nova is very high on Jalen Waddle, expecting him to be a stud and considering him a target in the early fourth round.
Insight pageJerry Jeudy
PositiveValue90:42
Pete identifies Jerry Jeudy as a value pick at pick 170-175, projecting him to surprise people despite general market skepticism.
Insight pageJonathon Brooks
NegativeValue32:22
Pete Nova notes that Jonathan Brooks is currently being steamed up in draft markets.
Insight pageJordan Addison
PositiveBreakout59:08
Jordan Addison is a strong value pick expected to achieve his first 1,000-yard season in year four, bolstered by improved quarterback play.
Insight pageJosh Jacobs
PositiveValue23:52
Pete Nova prefers Josh Jacobs over Breece Hall, noting that Jacobs is a great value in the third round if suspension concerns are mitigated.
Insight pageKaelon Black
PositiveDepth Chart96:55
Pete notes that Kalon Black has a 'free runway' to establish himself as the RB3 for the 49ers due to Jordan James' camp injury and Christian McCaffrey's injury history.
Insight pageLamar Jackson
PositiveValue40:13
Lamar Jackson is an elite value at pick 71, as he is ranked ahead of Joe Burrow and Drake May, making him difficult to pass up despite the lack of immediate stacking options.
Insight pageLuther Burden
PositiveBreakout27:20
Pete Nova prefers Luther Burden over Rome Odunze in high-upside tournament formats, citing his range of outcomes.
Insight pageMalik Nabers
PositiveBreakout14:14
Pete Nova ranks Malik Nabers as his 14th overall player, citing his potential for 170-200 targets and high-upside ceiling. He expects him to play week one.
Insight pageMark Andrews
PositiveValue71:52
JJ Zachariason loves the value of Mark Andrews in round 12, noting that while there wasn't much competition at that specific spot, he would have likely been drafted within the next five picks had he not been taken.
Insight pageMarvin Harrison Jr.
NegativeBust42:17
Marvin Harrison Jr. is viewed as overvalued at his current ADP, with a ranking closer to pick 100, as he may be limited to a flanker role compared to Michael Wilson's potential X-receiver usage.
Insight pageMarvin Mims
NegativeProjection79:06
Marvin Mims is projected for 45 targets; he possesses big-play ability and speed, though he faces a crowded depth chart.
Insight pageMichael Wilson
PositiveRole50:14
Michael Wilson is preferred over Marvin Harrison Jr. because he is expected to play the traditional X-receiver role and see more red-zone and deep-field opportunities.
Insight pageMike Evans
NegativeProjection27:13
Pete Nova selects Mike Evans for his ceiling, acknowledging the injury risk but prioritizing the high-upside potential in a tournament format.
Insight pageOllie Gordon
PositiveSleeper68:53
Ollie Gordon is a priority target who is currently undervalued relative to his potential role; he is viewed as the primary backup and a potential red-zone option over Jalen Wright.
Insight pageOmarion Hampton
PositiveRole3:58
JJ Zachariason highlights Omarion Hampton as a three-down skill set back who is being slept on, noting he recorded 32 receptions in nine games last year.
Insight pagePat Freiermuth
PositiveValue65:39
Pat Freiermuth is an upside target late in drafts who remains misused in his current offense; he is a preferred option over other late-round tight ends.
Insight pageRay Davis
NegativeRole92:10
JJ Zachariason expresses concern that drafting Ray Davis alongside James Cook creates a 'bottleneck' that limits leverage against the field, though he acknowledges it is a minor issue in a 30-round format.
Insight pageRicky Pearsall
NegativeDepth Chart74:08
Deebo Samuel's return to the 49ers is bad news for Ricky Pearsall's fantasy outlook, potentially limiting his playing time.
Insight pageRico Dowdle
PositiveValue32:14
Pete Nova identifies Rico Dowdle as a running back he likes for later rounds.
Insight pagePositiveBreakout41:52
Rico Dowdle is a target with breakout potential, projected inside the top 60 picks. He is preferred over Chuba Hubbard, Rhamondre Stevenson, and Kenneth Gainwell due to his proven ability to produce total yards when given opportunity.
Insight pageRomeo Doubs
PositiveValue80:28
JJ Zachariason notes that Romeo Doubs falling to round 14 (pick 164) is a sharp value compared to his 119 ADP, and he projects him for 85-90 targets this season despite market fear regarding the Patriots' receiver room.
Insight pageRyan Flournoy
PositiveProjection96:42
Pete projects Ryan Flournoy for an 11% target share, 70 targets, and four touchdowns, making him a strong upside pick at pick 200.
Insight pageTank Bigsby
PositiveRole82:06
JJ Zachariason praises the selection of Tank Bigsby as a preemptive handcuff for Saquon Barkley, providing leverage in tournament formats if the starter misses time.
Insight pageTerry McLaurin
PositiveValue25:03
Pete Nova is very high on Terry McLaurin, viewing him as a potential stud and a target in the early fourth round.
Insight pageTheo Johnson
NegativeRole26:27
Theo Johnson is an interesting late-round tight end option, particularly for those looking to stack with Jackson Dart, though he faces competition for targets.
Insight pageTory Horton
PositiveSleeper83:55
Tory Horton is a phenomenal late-round pick (pick 300+) who has a legitimate chance to become the team's wide receiver two.
Insight pageTravis Kelce
PositiveValue60:37
Travis Kelce is ranked higher than the general market consensus, making him a valuable selection in the middle rounds despite not fitting a specific stack.
Insight pagePositiveProjection73:41
JJ Zachariason views Travis Kelce's previous season as a 'dead cat bounce' but notes his metrics (targets, receptions, yards per reception) were in line with Tyler Warren, making him a solid value in the double-digit rounds.
Insight pageTreVeyon Henderson
PositiveBreakout28:49
Pete Nova selects TreVeyon Henderson for his high-upside RB2 potential, noting that if he hits his ceiling, he could be drafted among elite RBs next year.
Insight pageTroy Franklin
NegativeProjection79:19
Troy Franklin is projected for 28 targets and is expected to take a severe hit in value due to the current Denver receiving room configuration.

Episode Transcript
0:00What is going on folks? Pete Nova here with PlayerProfiler.
0:03I'm joined by Coach, aka Jeremiah. And today the big day is here.
0:07We are drafting in the NFC 150 Best Ball Championship.
0:10Super excited to be drafting today. I will be drafting out of the 11 hole.
0:15Jeremiah will be helping me with my team. We'll go over strategy.
0:19We'll go over promo codes. We'll answer any questions that you guys have inside the actual draft.
0:24And then we'll also go over some recent news with NFL Camp to keep things going, keep things talking and moving.
0:31Jeremiah, super excited to get things rolling here. How are you feeling?
0:34I'm really excited. And we just did a show, Pete, with Wyatt where we talked about round two running backs.
0:41So funny enough, you're at the 11. We're going to have a piece and a choice of who that round two running back is.
0:48In case people are watching, Pete, I'm not sure if you want to give away.
0:53I know what your preference is, but how are you feeling as you are going to be at the wraparound at the
1:00back end of round one, one, two turn? Yeah, I'm feeling I'm feeling good.
1:04I'm definitely, definitely feeling good. Let me just make sure.
1:07Let me make sure I turn off the volume here to turn off sound effects.
1:12Let's mute that. And then let me actually pull it up.
1:15I'm going to pull up the roster grid like this.
1:18Oh, and we have started Pete. Yeah, we have started.
1:22Here we go. This is PPR setting. Yep, yep, yep, yep.
1:25Here we go. And we have this best ball championship.
1:28I'll read it as it's going, Pete. It's already started hot.
1:32150 entry, 12 teams, 30 rounds, third round reversal.
1:34Okay, you're drafting, you're done format. Tracking cumulative points over 17 weeks.
1:38Top three get paid out 800 to first. And then the grand prize for those playoff weeks, 30k.
1:44Prize based on 230 leagues, Pete. 2,760 teams. Not a bad amount in a tournament setting.
1:49Deep 30 rounds that we're going to go to let you hoard your late round upside plays.
1:54So very excited about this, Pete. We see three go off the board.
1:58Gibbs, Bijon, Chase. Any surprise there? No, not surprising.
2:01You'll see Team Terranova. My father is actually in this.
2:04So there's two Team Terranovas here, just so you're aware.
2:07So there's a couple people in here. There's a couple people, a couple followers.
2:12Lisa's in here as well. Laterulo, Bogley. So we've got a couple of familiar faces.
2:16So when you see Terranova, that is my father, just so you are aware.
2:21So he took Gibbs. I'm not super surprised. Gibbs is my 101.
2:24So that's not overly surprising for me. This is a third round reversal.
2:29So with the third round reversal, I don't really mind the 11 spot.
2:33This is a Kentucky Derby system. So essentially the way that works is with a Kentucky Derby system, you set your preferences
2:39for where, what draft slots are most valuable to you.
2:43And then it's almost like randomized where if I get picked with the 101 preference 101 and my preference is, let's just
2:50say the 112, I will get the 112. So it picks it randomly from that, but you set up your preferences and slots and it goes from there.
2:58I'm arguing Hampton here at the 109 that you're going to notice in these NFCs, uh, NFFC drafts that the ADP is much, much sharper.
3:06A lot of guys are pushing players up the board that you might not see in more homely casual drafts.
3:12So, um, this is interesting. Hampton at the 109 is, is pretty rich for me, but we just did a video on him.
3:20Uh, I'm actually on the board now. Why don't you talk about Hampton while I make this pick, uh, and, and talk
3:26a little bit about your thoughts on him. Yep.
3:29And they're going to yank the steering wheel. It's going to happen all night.
3:34And there'll be times when you apply this Pete, and there'll be times when other people in this draft do not everything
3:40that's chalk will emerge, but with Hampton going, you're going to have plenty of opportunities elsewhere.
3:45We had two weeks back to back where he was RB three and RB four against your Denver Broncos, Pete.
3:52And he went against the New York giants and then receiving game.
3:55He had, I think it was like 32 receptions last year in nine games.
4:00So the reception game is out there. People aren't, they're really sleeping to me on the fact that Omarion Hampton is a three down skillset back.
4:08Now I know you have a player that you prefer.
4:11Maybe you'll mention him in a moment, but after I go on there about O'Marion Hampton, Jefferson goes in front of you.
4:18You take James cook, why James cook? And would you have taken Justin Jefferson were he default?
4:23Yeah, it's, it's close. But for me and my, in my overall ranking so far, I have cook ahead of Jefferson.
4:30I've cook as my eighth ranked player. I have Jefferson at 12.
4:34I have CD lamb at 13. So I'm on the board here.
4:37CD lamb does come back to me. I have my reservations a little bit about lamb, but it's hard not to take him right here.
4:45I do have him ranked as my 13th best player.
4:48So I'm just going to stick to my board and I'll take him, I'll take him right here.
4:54Now, Pete, as you go there, you're at the wraparound term.
4:57We got a little bit of time to talk and break down things.
5:01James cook goes at the one 11 for you.
5:04You have CD lamb who you're might be a little bit reticent, but board value presents itself.
5:10Now we just finished a recording where I talked to Marion Hampton.
5:13You had talked about how much you like chase Brown.
5:16Was there some trigger happy inclination towards you selecting chase Brown or is he further down your order?
5:22As we see Ashton Chanty tends to go before somebody like chase Brown, but there he is back to back as we
5:29speak about him, Pete, they're going to get gone if you don't pick them.
5:33Yeah. So I actually, I have Walker and I have chase Brown, both ranked ahead of CD lamb here.
5:39So I could have definitely taken both guys. Uh, but I have a good feeling because this is a third round reversal.
5:46Um, I have a good feeling of what's going to come back to me.
5:51Whereas normally in this slot, you know, where, where you would be, it's going to be a long time before it comes back to you.
5:58So the running backs can thin out. If it comes back to me, you have guys probably like, you know, there's possibility
6:05that Derek Henry comes back to me. There's still a lot of good running backs on the board that I like.
6:12Um, so I'm totally happy with that and I'm good with the wide receivers that come back too.
6:17So I'm, I'm, we got to also keep in mind, this is a start three wide receiver format.
6:23So that also plays into fact. Now there's two guys right here, three guys that have taken running back, running back.
6:30Right. So we know those guys are probably going to take wide receiver next.
6:34So if I don't take CD another wide receiver in the third round, there is a good chance that there's going to be a nice run here.
6:43Um, and then it's going to take a little bit of time to come back to me, right.
6:48If you think about it, because it's starting back where I'm at.
6:52So, um, it's going to be interesting. I want to see where the ball, the board falls, but this could open up
6:59some opportunity for a good wide receiver to come back to me because people are doubling up and even have Josh Allen
7:06going here, uh, which it feels high, but in these kinds of leagues, it's, it's not that crazy.
7:11Um, sometimes people just want to go get him and secure those kinds of points in a big tournament field.
7:18Well, I think you took pressure off yourself with the three wide receiver format, getting CD lamb.
7:23You have an anchor receiver and an anchor running back in James cook.
7:27And what's going to happen to, but the people who are starting RB RBP, I'm essentially going to see and predicting call
7:34that we're going to see guys like Parker Washington, maybe Marvin Harrison, Jr.
7:38Those sorts of wide receivers, Christian Watson, even on down some mid level value on Josh downs, Jordan Addison.
7:44I think those are going to be the types of receivers who avail themselves.
7:48And why wouldn't you, um, as you're coming back around, is there any temptation towards somebody?
7:53I know you're a Broncos fan. Are you bullish towards say a Jalen Waddle or if Reese Hall were to present himself on the board?
8:01Cause Derek Henry already went, what do you, what do you like about that flexibility?
8:06Yeah. In a format like this, I'd much rather anchor down with a, running back and then stack wide receivers early and
8:13then try to try to go some running backs later on.
8:16Um, so that's probably my strategy a little bit here early on.
8:20Um, I do want to say Cole did send in a question.
8:24He said, uh, he's got the one-on-one in an hour.
8:27How do we feel about Malik at the three Oh one?
8:30I don't know if we're talking Malik Willis. I don't know if this is a dynasty startup.
8:35Is it a super flex draft? And that's why Malik would go through a one.
8:40I don't know. It's a real question, Cole. So, uh, give us a little more context there.
8:45Cause I'm, I'm a little confused on that. Can I just, I'm just going to go on that with the assumption that it is Malik neighbors.
8:54Hell yeah. You're absolutely. So yeah. And that's fine.
8:56See Pete's on the board. Everybody podcast Pete is on the board.
9:00George Pickens goes three, one. We'll talk about your pick in a moment, but yes, you do go Malik neighbors and has he gone here?
9:08I would. Yes. Oh yeah. Yes. This is so great.
9:11I love Malik neighbors. There's one other player who's there.
9:14He's off the board now, but I'm looking at a Mecca Buka.
9:18Another episode that we had Pete, where I see him, a Mecca Buka as a round one player next year.
9:24He is as good as gone right now for us.
9:27It'll probably go in the next five, six picks.
9:30Yeah. But Malik neighbors, you absolutely smash because that's somebody who is around one player, Pete.
9:35So great value. Tell us how you feel about Malik neighbor.
9:39Somebody who can get anywhere from 170 to 200 targets in an offense.
9:43He's got that high upside ceiling, especially if we see him cutting.
9:46We were talking about training camp narratives. We've already seen him cutting well on the field back to back days.
9:53Pete, how do you feel about Malik neighbors here and break it down for us in 2026?
9:58Yeah. Neighbors. I have ranked as my 14th player in fantasy this year.
10:02I'm having right behind CD lamb, Justin Jefferson, Kenneth Walker, chase Brown.
10:06I have him as a high for a high second round pick.
10:10I mean, you know, from a lot of people that I trust that are giving some analysis on how he looks so
10:16far, some of the videos I'm seeing, I have no doubt in my mind that he's going to play week one at this point.
10:24And, you know, even if he's takes a couple of weeks to get up to speed, we can alleviate that right with
10:31drafting, you know, maybe a high upside player later on at wide receiver that may keep maybe can give us some spikes.
10:38Um, so I have, I have no concern. Um, also keeping in mind by weeks are important.
10:43I don't focus on it too, too much, but none of our guys have the same by week.
10:49We're also got it. We got to start thinking about stacks as well, right?
10:53CD lamb, Malik neighbors. Both of those guys have quarterbacks that are easily easy to be stacked, right?
10:59Dak Prescott. You also have Jackson dart. So that also has to come into your mind when we're talking about best ball
11:06and we're talking about, you know, how we can win a tournament.
11:09Uh, those are things that are important. Um, and I do want to make sure I make note as well.
11:16One more time. Uh, this is $150 best ball championship on NFFC.
11:19Uh, you can go ahead and use first time, uh, 100 to get a hundred dollars off, uh, of $150 entry.
11:26So if you're a new, new, new time user, which I'm sure people are in this draft right now, this draft only costs them $50.
11:34And there's tons of other promo codes with player profiler.
11:37It's in the description as well, if you want to use it, but, um, you don't have to be a first time
11:44player or first time drafter on NFC NFFC in order to get, uh, you know, those discounts.
11:49I'm looking at the chat, try not to laugh here because why it's in the chat.
11:54And we just recorded with why it was a smash and grab.
11:58We, we, we put out a great, great video.
12:01That's going to come out tomorrow. It's going to come on the audio side as well tomorrow.
12:06Uh, and literally probably about five minutes before stream cameras are flying.
12:10I got to switch laptops. Jeremiah is getting up to get water.
12:13Why it's sitting there, you know, trying to talk to us and we're just kind of mad dashing.
12:19Uh, for the, for the behind the scenes. I also went, it's very important that people know context there, Pete.
12:25I did go pee. And here's another question from William Stevenson.
12:29Give me a contract. How close to neighbors do we place a lobby?
12:33I'm going to assume this is a dynasty web question, but either way in both formats to me is a slam dunk for Malik neighbors.
12:41You get security and Chris Olave. It keeps a lobby safely.
12:44I saw Wolf trellis hurt. Shout out to Wolf.
12:47Talk about, Hey, that's a wide receiver one in dynasty crystal lobby.
12:51So good call out William on that. But, uh, Pete, you notice on the board, nobody has a uniform.
12:57We're early in the round four. Nobody has a uniform of all positions.
13:01It's not painted all yellow right now. Everybody's got a mix of something.
13:05How do you feel about the mix that you have with cook lamb and neighbors versus the rest of the board here?
13:12What you're seeing? Uh, I'm, I'm pretty happy with it.
13:15Um, trying to, trying to see if we can get a better camera shot.
13:19Do you think that the board is, is still visible enough here?
13:23I'm just trying to make sure, uh, that the viewers can see it.
13:27That might've been, I might've probably made it worse.
13:30Honestly. I like this. I can see that pretty good.
13:33The initial one that you had going on this one.
13:36And shout out to William. Yes. Everyone goes P it's, it's very functional for everybody.
13:41Oh, that's, that's a beautiful, beautiful piece right there.
13:43We see Terry McLaurin go at I'll just break down team four right now.
13:48You go ahead while I start doing all this one Oh four JSN, Derek Henry, Josh Jacobs, Terry McLaurin.
13:54Very interesting because you have some old dusty players paired with, well, not dusty, but they're closer to being dust, right?
14:00They're, they're just crusty. They're a little long in the tooth.
14:04You're crusty and dusty. Yeah. Derek Henry last year, RB eight though.
14:08Overall, Josh Jacobs. I'm not sure about that in round three, especially I'm just not sure about that pick right there.
14:14Uh, going in that direction, they could have taken Brees Hall.
14:18So I think that's a mistake. How do you like Brees Hall in round three?
14:22Uh, we know we love chase Brown. We love a Marion Hampton, Kenneth Walker in round two, but how about Brees Hall?
14:29That's not patched together with those running backs. Pete.
14:32Yeah. Brees Hall is tough. Uh, I am, I prefer Jacobs.
14:35I prefer Javante Williams, both over Brees Hall right now.
14:38Um, Jacobs I'm actually fine with on the third round cost.
14:42Uh, I think he's going to play. I don't have concerns that he's going to get suspended.
14:47Uh, I think he's at a great value. If there wasn't suspension talk, I gotta be honest.
14:53Like I think he'd be close to a two, three turn pick, right?
14:57That's the only thing that's really holding him down here.
15:00Jeremiah, in my opinion, uh, from being in that spot.
15:03I know people have some concern once one player or two players I really, really love in this.
15:09Uh, and I love that they are going ahead of Higgins and Jamison Williams is Jalen Waddle.
15:14And I would also say, uh, Terry McLaurin. Uh, those are two guys I'm very, very high on.
15:19Um, I expect them to be fifth round picks in non high stakes drafts, but, um, really, really like, I don't mind
15:26going up and getting those guys in the early fourth round.
15:30Cause I think those guys are going to be studs this year.
15:34They in board reading right now, looking at teams as they're scaffolding and setting things up team three boy with Jalen Waddle and Jamar chase.
15:41They're going to have good options out on Joe Burrow for a stacking partner and bone Nix.
15:47Then going to team four. I know I spoke to some of the longer in the tooth players, but Terry McLaurin, I
15:54think that's a ripe team as we're watching this unfold go for Jaden Daniels.
15:58And I'm seeing over here, team nine with just one wide receiver and Zay flowers.
16:03They have three running backs. They have Hampton. So they're that team that started at one nine.
16:08They have Hampton. They have chase Brown, David Montgomery wrapped around some Zay flowers.
16:12I'll be interested to see when Lamar Jackson goes there.
16:15So Pete, you are up now. Cam Scadbo just went, are you tilted at all that he went?
16:21Was he a running back? You had your eyes on?
16:24Is there somebody like things that you might like, like what's your play here?
16:29Yeah. Scadbo is definitely my actual next pick. Um, so that definitely stings.
16:33Uh, I'm going to, I'm going to go with Mike Evans here.
16:36Um, we're going for ceiling. Uh, I'm considering we're, we're talking ceiling.
16:40I do typically prefer Roma duns a over Luther burden, but in a format like this, when we're talking high upside, high ceiling, right?
16:48The range of outcomes for burden, the type of player he is, um, he is a player that I don't mind drafting
16:55ahead of, ahead of Roma duns a in these formats, managed redraft leagues, non big tournament style.
17:00I prefer Rome, but what, if we're shooting for the stars, Luther burden is a guy that I would be heavily considering.
17:07I know I took Mike Evans. I'm considering taking him on the way back though.
17:11Burden here. Um, and it is me up so I can go ahead and shoot my shot here, Jeremiah, um, on a guy like him.
17:19I'm also considering some other players. I feel like I got, I think I prefer going running back.
17:25Cause I still like the crop of receivers that are coming up.
17:29Trevor Henderson, Travis ETN, who would you take between the two of these guys?
17:33Trevor Henderson. All right, let's do it. All right.
17:36We'll take a Trevor on Henderson. Um, so that gives us for the listeners at home.
17:41It is currently a build that is James cook, CD lamb, Malik neighbors, Mike Evans, Trevor on Henderson.
17:46I mean, that's a lot of upside. There is some risk here though with injuries, right?
17:51Obviously you have CD who's dealt with some injuries a little bit the last few years, Mike Evans, who's had his issues as well, staying healthy.
18:00And then obviously the Malik neighbors, but true days, Jeremiah, I mean, if all these guys are healthy, the ceiling is very high for a team like this.
18:08And again, that's we're, we're shooting for ceiling in a, in a tournament style like this.
18:13Well, funny enough, you mentioned that with trivia on Henderson, he could very well, if he hits his ceiling play this time
18:20next year, he's being drafted among the likes of somebody like a Jameer Gibbs, B John Robinson.
18:26He's really got that archetype that we'd like to see.
18:29And you have three round one players jammed into your roster while this little discount exists for Malik neighbors in the wraparound
18:36with you at the one 11 going cook lamb.
18:38You have two round one players in my opinion and Malik neighbors.
18:42So you really have now granted, all these people are sharp drafting.
18:46You have three round one players, Pete, and then you have the high upside of Mike Evans, where you're not married to
18:53him playing or not on a given week due to maybe a hamstring issue.
18:57Right. But then you're baking an RB two upside.
19:00Trayvon Henderson. I absolutely love that. It's you can kind of go later and later and anchor your running back.
19:06I like how you went for the upside here.
19:09So in five rounds, three receivers, two running backs, I think there's a lot of pressure off you with your bill, Pete,
19:16because going to fill the flex spot, there's less pressure on you to go after the receiver position.
19:22Whereas we've seen some people who went heavy at running back are having to catch up some at receiver.
19:27Yeah. And, and I talked about it, but there, there are a couple of running backs that I happen to really like.
19:34Rico Dowdle is one of them. I also like Rashad White later on.
19:38Um, you also have Jonathan Brooks, who's being steamed up.
19:42Parker Washington does go. I really, really was hoping I could get him on the way back, but I had a feeling it wasn't going to happen.
19:50He does go pretty high in these formats, fifth round, uh, you know, 58th overall.
19:55Um, so bummer there, but yeah, to your point, I mean, we, we have set up this build now where we have an anchor with James cook.
20:03Our receiver room is, is in a really, really good spot.
20:07We have the ability to kind of go wherever we want to go right now.
20:11Um, you know, your roster construction can definitely guide your picks, right?
20:15Um, each, each pick that we take, you know, in, in your mind, when you are building a team should kind of
20:22narrow your decisions that you have to make in the future, Jeremiah, like that should be the goal as we are drafting
20:29is to narrow and make as, as it's kind of like people that don't like, like, don't like to stream defenses, right?
20:36People prefer to say, Hey, I want as the least amount of decisions as possible because there's already enough decisions I got
20:43to make on a weekend and week out basis.
20:45And it's the same thing here, right? Like the, the, the more we've, we've structured this in a way that it allows
20:52us to be pretty free on where we want to go.
20:56We don't have to be tied into saying, Hey, we have to chase at wide receiver, but we're narrowed in where we're
21:03saying, Hey, we should probably start maybe looking at the quarterbacks, the tight ends, uh, and maybe taking a running back as well.
21:10Receiver. We can kind of wait for, unless there's a guy we really, really like that slips down to us.
21:16I love that breakdown. So if we do see receiver value, I think that's something that you could investigate and click, but
21:23taking a look at the bills, we had mentioned some other teams in this draft, how they're setting up with their quarterbacks
21:30that helps you get out of each other's way.
21:33The beauty of having CD lamb, a Dak Prescott, who's going to be inclined to click on Dak Prescott.
21:39You know, it's not like there's many players on the elevator up to him that are there.
21:44You know, you do have your George Pickens person to look out for, but then, which doesn't make sense, which we can
21:51visit too, but then you have Malik neighbors. So you're going to have an opportunity quarterback 10 and 11 Dak Prescott and Jackson Dart.
21:58They go 81 and 88 respectively. And then you're setting up for stacking partner, Brock Purdy, who's QB 13, who we know
22:05you love Pete as a high quarterback too. What's your thought as we approach this end?
22:10Are you going to be feeling like you need to pull the trigger on one, two, or maybe just see what the board gives you?
22:18Yeah, probably seeing what the board gives us this, this strategy with these wide receivers has allowed us to easily stack any of them.
22:25So it gives us a chance where we say, Hey, if we don't love the board, we can take one of those quarterbacks if they're there.
22:34If we love some guys, we don't have to push and press to go get a quarterback with Purdy.
22:39It's a little bit interesting because I do feel like I have to start adjusting with him because with Pierce all out,
22:46um, I definitely think it has some effect. Um, I did have him pinned for like 4,500 yards this year, but with
22:53Pierce all out with Kirk already having some injuries as well.
22:57Um, you know, it, it definitely requires some adjustment in his ranking a little bit.
23:01Um, you know, as we're kind of steaming up to week one.
23:05Well, speaking of steam and we're not talking about Cleveland, Pete, tell us about the tight end play.
23:11Is there any tight end play here? Or are you starting to sit with that barbell strategy where you see some of the better ones go early?
23:19Granted, Kyle Pitts hasn't been taken yet. And then there's some later tight ends that you could be malleable towards.
23:25I, I, well, I just got to say Bucky Irving, uh, the, the, the fade has, has gone a little far.
23:32I mean, pick 70 overall. I was, I was almost all over him.
23:36He just got picked right ahead of us. We are on the board here.
23:40I'm looking at the tight ends. A lot of guys that I liked are off the board.
23:46We could probably wait and go with a, uh, with a Jake Ferguson, looking at some of the quarterbacks.
23:52There are some elite guys there. Jayden Daniels, Caleb Williams is still there.
23:56Lamar. Um, so those guys are available. So I think honestly, those positions are so good.
24:01I'm going to look at these wide receivers. I don't love the wide outs either.
24:05I don't, I don't really like a lot of players that I'm seeing.
24:10Do you go Roma doing say to set up Caleb?
24:13I've Rome's gone. I'm going to, honestly, I'm going to go with, uh, Lamar Jackson, right?
24:18Lamar was his ADP is 59. We're at pick 71 right now.
24:21He slips back. We, we still need a tight end so we can at least go with, you know, Mark Andrews.
24:28And then worse comes to worse. You look at the wide receivers.
24:32We can still take a Jackson dart possibly later on, uh, as our second quarterback to, to stack, you know, the tough
24:39thing with Lamar's there's not a lot of wide receivers, Jeremiah to, to, to stack with him.
24:44We can get Andrews, but sometimes it's not always about the stack either.
24:48Right? Like if an elite player like Lamar is falling this far, I mean, I have Lamar ahead of Joe and Drake
24:55may, so it's hard not to take him. I'm back up here.
24:59Again, I don't really love the board. You have Marv, you have Cortland Sutton.
25:03These are not a lot of players that I'm very interested in.
25:07So I think it's probably good, a good time to maybe look back at the running backs.
25:12Um, and I'm going to go with Rico Dowdle it's high, uh, but I'm taking him.
25:17I have Rico projected inside my top 60, uh, you know, picks this year.
25:21I know it sounds like a reach potentially, but I don't love Chubba.
25:26I prefer Rico over him. I prefer Rico over Ramondre, Kenneth Gainwell, Kyle Manungai, Chubba Hubbard, RJ Harvey, all those guys that prefer Rico.
25:33And I don't really like the wide receivers on the board.
25:37I have Marvin Harrison Jr. Like around pick 100 in my rankings.
25:40So I wasn't going to go that route either.
25:43Um, so I'm happy with, uh, with taking Rico there.
25:46Cause I just didn't really love the board. Well, I think we can put a pin in the Marvin Harrison Jr.
25:53Conversation. Look at that. This is how sharp these rooms are.
25:56The next player that we're talking about, they go within a couple of picks.
26:01I love your pick on Rico Dowdle. The only other player who I would be interchangeable there would be somebody like a JK Dobbins.
26:08And, uh, but Dowdle he's proved in a span of two weeks can get near 500 rushing yards or total yards.
26:15So it's kind of like the money ball meme where, Hey, his glitch is for some reason, he can only do it one or two times a year.
26:23But I think that's been an opportunity thing for Rico Dowdle.
26:27And he goes back with Mike McCarthy. He's in Pittsburgh where they didn't get what they wanted out of Caleb Johnson.
26:33And there's a plenty of vacated targets where Jalen Warren's going to get fed, but I like the idea.
26:39I've got kind of a hot take that at 28, he'll have a late breakout Rico Dowdle for his career where he's
26:46approaching 1300 rushing yards and double digit touchdowns. Because if he gets more runway, for some reason, they just turned the faucet
26:53off with him last year with Carolina. I think there was something with the coaches there.
26:58So we see Jaden Daniels go, but tell us Marvin Harrison, Jr.
27:02Pete, Michael Wilson, what's your take on them right now as it's playing out in camp?
27:07Yes. I'm going to take, I'm going to answer that question, but we're going to take one quick break and we'll come right back.
27:14The NFFC, my favorite high stakes fantasy platform. Third round reversal, Kentucky Derby draft slot allocation.
27:19So it's a lottery based system where you can put in your preference where you want to draft.
27:25It's full PPR. There's three receivers. It's the best place to play fantasy football, especially for high stakes.
27:31And now that combined with the FFWC, they have a lot more contests to offer.
27:35In fact, they have a double crown bonus where you can join the NFFC primetime.
27:40And if you win that 300 grand, you can also join the circle world championship and that's 200 grand.
27:46You win both, you win a million dollars. So go to play NFFC.com slash profiler and check the show description for a number of promo codes.
27:54You can use first time, 100 to get a hundred bucks when you sign up, but also every time you sign up
28:01for a new contest, we give you codes to use to get discounts on those entry fees as well.
28:07Thank you to the NFFC. They make our podcast network what it is.
28:11I like gum. I chew it all the time every day.
28:14And lately I've been trying this Underbrush from Nathan and Sons.
28:18It's remineralizing chewing gum, basically an oral care routine in gum form.
28:22You brush in the morning and at night, but after lunch, there's a big gap where most of us do nothing for our teeth.
28:29Underbrush is made for that moment. Chew it for five to 10 minutes, spit it out, move on, or keep chewing if you like the feel of it.
28:38Any mineral your enamel is made from as well as natural saps like mastic and spruce.
28:43So it has that firmer, really satisfying chew. To say it's all natural would be an understatement because they make it themselves
28:50from scratch in Northern California where the biggest, best trees are.
28:53I'm so glad I found this company when it's only a few years old and the team is literally making, packing, and shipping gum every day.
29:01So if you want a simple daily upgrade for your teeth that tastes great, check out underbrush order now at Nathan and
29:08sons.com that is Nathan and sons.com try it now.
29:11All right. Well, we are back. Um, and yeah, like we said, if you do want to draft in one of these,
29:18you can use promo code first time 100 and you get a hundred dollars off an entry of $150, which is how
29:25much this $150 best ball championship costs. So for new timers, this is only a $50 draft and up top, it's a
29:32$30,000 first place prize, as well as tons of other prizes for you.
29:36If you went inside your league structure wise, if you think about it like this, we are drafting in a 12 team league, right?
29:43The first three or the highest scores cumulative over the course of the season, they all three get prizes inside their division.
29:50And then everybody continues to move on to the higher prizes.
29:54So you'll also be able to win even more money at those top prizes and get a chance to win $30,000.
30:00I don't know. I'm liking our team so far.
30:03I know you asked me that Marvin Harrison, Michael Wilson.
30:06Uh, these are guys that are getting a lot of, uh, attention, I guess is the best way to put it right now on them.
30:14Currently, Michael Wilson goes off the board. Marvin Harrison was around ahead of him.
30:18I prefer Michael Wilson over Marvin Harrison jr. It's not necessarily because of the drops we see at camp, but overall, I
30:25think he is going to be a player that is used more in the red zone over Marv.
30:31And I think he's going to be a bigger time player down the field.
30:35Marv might get those easier touches, right? He might get, you know, more of those flanker role and, and Wilson could play
30:42more of the traditional X outside of, you know, more of might get the X in 13 personnel in one wide receiver sets.
30:49But I personally do prefer Wilson, but I really don't really like either of them.
30:54I'm not drafting them very, very much at all.
30:57Caleb Williams, by the way, goes here. He's behind all of these quarterbacks.
31:01This leaves us with a decision to make, uh, Jackson dart right here.
31:05Uh, I'm going to have to pull the trigger on him and take him to get a stack here.
31:11Uh, because I do have Malik neighbors and we did talk about cheap stacks.
31:15I do have Lamar and I don't want to get stuck in a bad spot because unfortunately Brock Purdy does go a
31:22couple of picks in front of us and Dak Prescott goes early.
31:26It will late in round seven. So about 11 picks ahead of us as well.
31:31Um, so we're sitting here, Jeremiah on the board again, and the running back position starting to thin out a little bit.
31:37Rashad white got picked pretty high. Uh, again, this is a best ball tournament style here.
31:42Jake Ferguson's on the board. We talked about maybe going after a guy like him, George Kittle, Travis Kelsey.
31:48There are some tight ends that are interesting. Um, I'm going to go with Cortland Sutton, uh, in this spot though.
31:55I know we're talking wide receivers. He doesn't really fit into my build, fit into my stack, but Sutton at, you know,
32:02pick 98, his ADP is, is closer to 70.
32:05Jeremiah, what do you think about that? I mean, it's again, it's unstacked, but I'm happy with it.
32:10Well, it's funny as you were clicking that I was going to say the players in this range that I like would be somebody like a Chris Godwin.
32:19It would be a Jordan Addison. And of course, like a Michael Pittman.
32:23So Cortland Sutton presents great value on the board for you.
32:27You're here in round nine. I love the cumulative play where you get dark snack with neighbors.
32:32You've got all the pressure in the world off of you at the quarterback position.
32:37You probably want across 30 rounds, maybe one more quarterback, but really you've got belief in a naked Lamar at the moment
32:43because there's no Mark Andrews on the backend yet.
32:46And it's just very interesting how Brock Purdy went ahead of Caleb Williams and even went ahead of Jackson Dart.
32:52I would have expected Dart to go ahead, but I think that speaks to some of the Konami code upside, but then
32:59let's talk scoring setting because Brock Purdy, this is a six point touchdown setting.
33:04And then every 20 yards, Pete, there's a point.
33:07So there is a pendulum swing back to the pocket passing players.
33:10So does it surprise you so much in that sense that Brock Purdy actually went ahead of Caleb and Jackson Dart?
33:17Not at all. Caleb's going to provide more as a rusher for both, you know, and so will Dart over Purdy, but we're looking at Purdy.
33:25He's going to throw for the most yards out of all these guys.
33:29Good chance he throws for the most touchdowns out of them as well.
33:33Um, so it's not that surprising in my opinion.
33:36Um, I actually, it makes me kind of feel a little better.
33:40I have Caleb Williams in my overall rankings, uh, about where he is right here.
33:44Quarterback 10, I mean, uh, quarterback 12, 13. Um, I'm not as high on the market.
33:49Uh, you know, I'm not as high as him as on him has the market is, uh, one guy that is interesting
33:56that I'm hoping comes back to me. Uh, I'm not going to say yet.
34:01I'll wait till it gets a little closer. Um, just because I don't want to run into a situation where, uh, maybe
34:08someone's watching and, uh, maybe they take my, uh, yeah.
34:11Yeah. While, while we're waiting on that, why don't we look at, you know, your father, Mr.
34:16Terranova, let's break down his team. His approach at the turn is coming up.
34:20Goes one-on-one with Jameer Gibbs, gets Nico Collins in round two, Reese Hall round three, Lab McConkie, Laporta, Travis Etienne, Dak Prescott, and Wondell Robinson.
34:28So I don't see any stack partners there if my eyes don't deceive me with Dak Prescott.
34:33What do you think is inside the head of your father, Mr.
34:37Terranova, who's got Zach Charbonnet and Coker at the 9-10 turn?
34:41Would you take Charbonnet in round nine, Pete? What do you make of his team?
34:45Well, he took Coker and it's frustrating because I know he knows Coker was going to be the guy I was going to mention.
34:53So, uh, it's, it's, it's ironic that it happened.
34:56So if you're worried about, you know, any funny business, he just, he just took the guy I was, I was thinking about there.
35:03Um, so that's frustrating because I, we had a whole conversation a week ago about how much I love Jalen Coker.
35:10So, uh, that's frustrating. I don't really love his build in general, just because from a standpoint of, of stacking, right.
35:16He doesn't really have, I mean, he has an opportunity to come back around on Nico, uh, with, with CJ Stroud.
35:23He does have the ability to come back with Cam Ward, Bryce Young.
35:27It's just some low ceiling quarterbacks. Um, so that's, that's not like, I don't love the approach in that regard.
35:33Keith Mitchell, by the way, here had a nice little highlight play in camp where he caught a nice pass.
35:39He goes off the board here, uh, you know, in the 10th round Jordan ahead of Jordan Addison, who you great value on the Addison pick though.
35:48Yeah. Who you happen to like. Yep. Yeah. I, I see Jordan Addison in year four, getting his first thousand yard season.
35:55He has a high of nine 11. Okay. And think about you get better quarterback play.
36:00So he's one of those players who I'm very excited about.
36:03And we see the string of the Jane reads people, Samuel, uh, no team that I know of.
36:09And he goes in round 10. Do you agree or disagree with that?
36:13Maybe a team letter Rulo know something we don't.
36:16Yeah. Uh, I think a lot of people are thinking, uh, that there is a chance Debo, uh, ends up going to the 49ers, right?
36:24I mean, with the injuries that they have. So, uh, not, not overall surprising, by the way, Isaiah likely I was hoping would come back to me.
36:32So now we're in a spot right where I happen to like some of these tight ends.
36:37I'm going to go ahead and draft Travis Kelsey.
36:40I actually happen to have Kelsey higher than other people do.
36:44Um, so I'm going to take Kelsey here. He again, doesn't fit inside my build, but this is just an example of
36:50you, you can't force the stacks, right? Um, right now Lamar, I can still come back and grab a guy like maybe
36:57Mark Andrews, but if he goes off the board here and this guy snipes me, I'm not overly upset about it.
37:04Um, I would love for Mark Andrews to come back to me, but I'm not going to, I'm not going to be too upset.
37:11There are some steeper plays, um, that I can still go with.
37:15I'm thinking quarterback wise, Jeremiah, um, you still have somebody else.
37:19Um, and I, I feel like it would be frowned upon to do it with Patrick Mahomes here.
37:24Cause I do have two quarterbacks already and it's kind of like, is it glutton a little bit to, uh, take a guy like Patrick Mahomes?
37:32I don't know. What, what are your thoughts? Uh, I mean, three quarterbacks in, you know, the first few rounds here, running backs getting a little thin.
37:41I don't know that I can make a luxury pick like that, but I I'd be lying if I said it wasn't, it hasn't crossed my mind here.
37:50Well, you have the belief in faith in Lamar and Jackson dart.
37:53So at this point it is a bet against dart and Lamar.
37:57So if we're just going to go off that principle where you're trying to get some more value here, I think you
38:04fade away from the layup stack here, but that is for future drafts.
38:08This patch, I've seen it consistent in other platforms as well.
38:11Kelsey and Mahomes aren't too far apart. Same thing with somebody like Xavier worthy.
38:16So which direction will you go positional wise? Yes.
38:19Oh yes. I love that pick. Okay. So when you were talking about Pete and it ended up being Jalen Coker, you
38:26said, Hey, I got somebody in my mind who I'm thinking about.
38:29I was kind of thinking of Casey conception. I've seen conception go around higher, scouring other Twitter boards out there.
38:36So I think there's a hive out there now talking about third quarterback looking, everybody can be listening, but Hey, what are you stealing?
38:43Right? Shador Sanders, Deshaun Watson, you pick your poison of the two Browns running backs.
38:48Which one do you think is going to win?
38:51Which one is going to play out more? What's going to happen?
38:54I assume you mean quarterbacks, not running backs. No, I think it's going to be Watson.
38:59I think they'll give him a chance. They're still committed to him heavily.
39:03They have to see it out. I think at this point and just, and just go with it.
39:09Um, I did consider running backs, but here's my philosophy in this kind of build.
39:14I'm going to take so many garbage running backs in a few rounds, wide receivers.
39:18I look at it in a scenario where there's going to be so many picks.
39:23I just want to stock up on all these, you know, RB threes on teams that are going to get chances where guys get hurt and stuff.
39:32I'm not really super excited to go draft like, you know, wide receiver four on a depth chart or wide receiver three on a depth chart.
39:40They get injured less typically. And also the opportunity is not as high.
39:44It's usually that, you know, the drop off from wide receiver one to wide receiver two in order to be, you know,
39:51a difference maker in fantasy as a wide receiver, you have to be either a wide receiver one.
39:56And if you're not wide receiver one and you're a wide receiver two, typically it's like wide receiver two on a top 10 offense.
40:04Like those are the kinds of guys you're targeting.
40:07But once you're getting past that, you're still looking at these deep wide receivers.
40:11It's like the upside is just not there for me.
40:14Right? So here in this situation, you know, I'm going to, I'm going to take Casey.
40:19I'm going to let the board fall with the running backs.
40:23Maybe somebody comes back to me that I'm interested in.
40:26Maybe I start kind of getting a bunch of handcuffs, which I'm fine with too.
40:30Again, I have an anchor in James cook. I like the top three guys that I have.
40:36I'm not overly concerned. I do want to make one note, Jeremiah, the John stripling, uh, in round 10, right behind Coker,
40:43those two guys, very, very interesting, uh, to see that because with the news of Ricky Pierce, all, you know, it's, it's
40:49like the John stripling has to be the guy you would think as the wide receiver too.
40:55Yeah. And with Ricky Pierce, all we're getting more damning news on him.
40:59And then you even have to consider the fact that Mike Evans, he's, I know he's on your team right now, but
41:06he will sometimes be prone to some injury and that could really open things up.
41:10You talk about first pick, we were there draft night at the player profiler house stripling going off.
41:16And we were just like beside ourselves, but that's the investment level and teams draft with plans in place.
41:22And as you're talking about all this, Pete, I love how you mentioned the diversion between the delineation of receivers and running
41:29backs to where we're a third way through the draft 30 rounds.
41:33This is almost like playing in a, oh, there goes Ricky Pierce.
41:36Oh my God, pour some out. Uh, this is almost like a dynasty startup to where it's depth and it gets down to those running backs.
41:44But I think two things are going to play out here.
41:48As you get buried lesser, you're going to be more inclined towards those depth chart running backs who can ladder up and move up.
41:55And then also playing a little bit of a, you're looking ahead to a waiver wire, some backup players, some high upside
42:02players who can fill in and move up the depth chart because you're not going to have the benefit of a player goes down.
42:10So let's say somebody else has Ashton Janty. You may want somebody like a Mike Washington.
42:15So what do you make of kind of playing a waiver wire preemptively because this is the one shot you have and
42:22you're trying to project out over 17 weeks? Yeah.
42:24I like the thought it does suck that in this format, you know, of course no waiver wire, but it also makes it nice, right?
42:32You can draft a lot of these and not have to worry about, you know, you don't have to worry necessarily about having to manage the team, right?
42:41That's part of the appeal. Um, I want to hold that thought for a second, because I am coming up here and
42:48I want to just talk through the pick, um, that I have coming up quarterback wise.
42:53You know, we we've, we've taken some guys. We have Lamar of course.
42:57Uh, you know, we have, uh, Jackson dart Isaiah likely obviously goes off the board here.
43:02Um, I don't want to tip my pick yet.
43:05Cause there's one pick ahead of me here, but, um, once this pick goes off the board, I actually am very happy
43:12because Mark Andrews did come back to me, Jeremiah.
43:15Um, and now I get the stack with Lamar.
43:17I didn't force it. I took Casey conception. I stuck to my plan.
43:21I didn't overdraft Andrews. I considered him where Kelsey was, but I have Kelsey rent tires.
43:26So I went with it. So now I get the stack.
43:30It ends up working out for me. Um, do you, what are your thoughts on Andrews as I get ready for this next pick?
43:37Um, do you, do you, do you happen to like Andrews this year?
43:41I love him exactly where you got him in round 12 and it doesn't seem like there would have been much competition,
43:48but God knows within this next turn, had you not taken him, he'd go within the next five picks.
43:54So there's not necessarily mercy in this field of play, but let's talk about what you did.
44:00You've got Jackson dart and Malik neighbors stacked up together.
44:03You took the following value in Lamar Jackson. Weren't worried.
44:06You know, if you love something, you let it go.
44:09Well, you let Mark Andrews go and he came back to you here in round 12.
44:14So you've got two excellent stacking partners. And I liked the idea of your layer tight end room where you have Travis Kelsey.
44:21I see a dead cat balance season for him last year with targets, receptions, yards per reception.
44:26They were all in line in near Tyler Warren.
44:29So what's the difference between Tyler Warren and Travis Kelsey?
44:32Well, a lot of age, but in dynasty streets or in even these streets, like the tight end four to double digit tight ends level for Travis Kelsey.
44:41So I love what you did. It's one season.
44:44So we talked about the differences between dynasty and best ball, Pete.
44:48You just have to play through 2026 and you have just a rich room for what you've got.
44:53You were able to scaffold the rest of your team with the expensive picks.
44:58And now you're getting between Kelsey and Andrews. I think they'll trade weeks for you to where you're hitting your mark versus
45:05the people who paid up for a level in the craft of Warren you're playing against all those other people.
45:11So I think it's astute and sound going bulk a little bit with the guys like the Kelsey's and the Mandrews.
45:17If you're going to go that path. Yeah, I'm, I'm kind of with you.
45:22Uh, let me see. Hold on one second. I am.
45:25Um, uh, and we see while you're sorting that out, Juwan Johnson, George Kittle, Chica Conquo, Arande Gatson, just a run of
45:32tight ends after Pete went Mark Andrews and then Brenton strange.
45:35I will mention Brenton strange, all the Parker Washington hype.
45:38If we're just directionally off just a little bit in the last six games, Brenton strange had 10 red zone targets, middle
45:45of the field open is going to be very valuable for the Jaguars.
45:49And I don't think enough people are talking about Brenton strange.
45:53So that's just one of those things where directionally we see Parker Washington tearing things up, but I would just venture to
46:00guess if you miss out on Parker Washington, Brenton strange is somebody else for people to go on and draft.
46:06Yeah. Yeah. Strange goes there. Um, I was just taking a look at, at the board and I'm just trying to stick
46:13to the process here and trying to figure out what my next moves are.
46:17You did touch on the fact that I took Stefan digs.
46:21Uh, there is a massive drop off at wide receiver coming up here.
46:25Um, so I'm trying to stack up on as many wide receivers as I can.
46:29There are a couple of running backs that are kind of coming up that I have intriguing.
46:35And again, I only have three. Um, but I talked about my process and what my plan was.
46:40And a lot of it's just going to be taking a bunch of cheap running backs, a ton, you know, going towards,
46:47you know, the next, you know, couple of rounds, the late picks, it's just going to be a lot of running backs.
46:54Um, you know, there's also, um, the possibility of going other positions as well, um, that I have on my mind, uh,
47:01that I will touch on once we get to my pick here.
47:05Uh, Jonah Coleman goes off the board, Hunter Henry.
47:08Do you want to read off my team? Especially if in case somebody is listening on the audio side.
47:13Um, so let's go over the team really quick.
47:16Yep. I took James Cook in the first round, CD lamb, second round, Malik neighbors, third round, Mike Evans in the fourth,
47:23Trevor Henderson in the fifth Lamar in the sixth.
47:26That was a nice fall with Lamar. He fell about 20 picks past his ADP, Jeremiah, um, Rico daddle in round seven, Jackson dart round eight.
47:34Um, so, you know, I took dark there, um, in, in just strictly off for the stack with neighbors.
47:40Um, you know, I I'm sitting here, I took Lamar and I'm like, well, I already took Lamar.
47:46I have these good wide receivers. Dak Prescott went off in front of me.
47:50Purdy went off in front of me. Let me go ahead and take, uh, you know, let me go ahead and take dart and just get that solidified.
47:59I ended up with Corlin Sutton who falls past ADP as well.
48:03I take Travis Kelsey, who I think is being slept on this year.
48:07I think he's in for a solid season, Casey conception, Mark Andrews to get the stack with Lamar and then Stefan dig.
48:13So I really only have two stacks right now with Lamar and his tight end and Andrews and Jackson dart with Malik,
48:20uh, neighbors, but I'm not overly concerned. One more thing before you tell you start going is Romeo Dobbs fell to round 14.
48:28I think people are very scared off on Kayshawn booty right now, but Hey, um, that Romeo Dobbs fell.
48:34I mean, he just fell to pick like, one 64 and his ADP Jeremiah is like one Oh six.
48:39So, I mean, that's a very, very sharp ball for a guy that I have ranked.
48:44Sorry. His ADP is one 19. Uh, but I have him ranked, you know, I have him close to still a hundred targets this year.
48:52I have him about 85 to 90. Um, so a pretty steep drop for him.
48:57I would see what two wide receiver sets. Why would Romeo Dobbs leap the field?
49:02And then the Patriots intentionally acquired him in the off season, knowing the room that they had, knowing they had Kayshawn Boutte.
49:09So I think there's a little bit of overreaction theater that's in there that's baked in, but again, that's advantage.
49:15We'll see if that's just within this draft room, Pete, or that's a larger trend that we see in these best ball streets on NFFC.
49:23And we see touch. I spears go just ahead of you.
49:26Did you want him or are you happy with tank Bixby who you're basically playing the room, playing off the room, whoever
49:33has Saquon Barkley, you now have the tank Bixby who can play off of a Barkley gets hurt.
49:39You've got leverage within this room. Then tournament wise, long-term you have leverage there as well.
49:44Yeah. I, uh, Oh gosh, I was, I was just about to take Dallas kickers.
49:48Uh, so that just, uh, Oh wait, hold on.
49:51Wait, Dallas kickers didn't go. Okay. No, it did not.
49:54It was Jalen McMillan. I thought you were taking over McMillan.
49:58I, I, no, no, I did think about McMillan too.
50:01It was going to be McMillan or Dallas kickers.
50:04I look at it like this with the kickers.
50:06I know I'm getting a severe advantage with Dallas kickers.
50:10Um, you know, with Brandon Aubrey with defenses, they can be volatile.
50:13You guys know those who watch my content, you guys know that like, obviously I love the stream defenses.
50:19That's not a, we're not gonna be able to do that in this league, this format, uh, because there's no waivers, but
50:26still I I'd rather go with, you know, the, the, the strong kicker and then maybe take two or three defenses.
50:33And I'm hoping that maybe it forces a run, uh, at one of those two positions, uh, where maybe some guys slip
50:40and I get some value with tank Bigsby though.
50:42I will say I was considering it was going to be Tajay Spears, but when Bigsby fell to me, I said, you know what?
50:50Again, we talk about the process here. If Saquon misses time, Bigsby's a phenomenal handcuff, looks really, really good last year.
50:56Uh, so it's just going to really be about finding the higher value, the running backs in higher value rooms that we
51:03think, Hey, this guy can, we'll have a similar workload.
51:06If the starter goes down in good offenses, especially if we can find that as well, that's obviously the Trinity when it
51:13can, when it can kind of come together like that.
51:16Well, you had astutely pointed out, Pete, that digs is a little bit of a firewall territory for the wide receiver position.
51:23Starting to get a lot less yellow as the board runs down.
51:27So I like what you've done directionally with your team from this pocket in round 13, going Stefan digs down to tank
51:34Bigsby and then getting your kicker team at the Dallas Cowboys.
51:37It'll be interesting to see. We're starting to see a couple of different colors patched through position wise.
51:43And I think you really made the right play and going and getting Stefan digs.
51:48It's going to get a lot more ambiguous at the receiver position.
51:51So as you're coming back around, Oh man, on clay born around 15.
51:56I, I, I just cute. I just cute. I'm up.
51:59He was going to be my next pick. That's a bummer, but you win on one end, you lose on another.
52:05And I feel like you're winning with the digs pick and the big speak pick it's all or nothing though.
52:11I don't see much opportunity for tank big speed with the second one Barkley show.
52:16So we shall see in round 14. I think that's great value.
52:20And this is a little bit of that your anticipatory waiver wire when you're reading articles and it's Monday or Tuesday on
52:27your waiver wire and Saquon Barkley gets hurt after week four and everybody's just crapping their pants.
52:32Who has them? They're hitting the waiver wire for tank Bigsby.
52:36Well, you're preeminently preemptively making some of these picks as you did with tank Bigsby.
52:40So I like the play. And I like the fact that structurally, you know, to the audience who we have a sophisticated
52:47audience and we have people who are playing for the first time, you don't want to play your handcuffs within the same team.
52:54You want to play for leverage upside against other opponents.
52:57So if you're running back is James Cook, Pete, can you tell us why you're not inclined to take somebody like Ray Davis?
53:05Well, I, I am inclined to maybe take a guy like that, but there, there's a couple other players that stick out to me right now.
53:13You know, if you, if you start looking at the running back board, maybe James Connor or Trey Benson, one of those
53:20guys are probably getting cut or traded to another team.
53:23So those guys are also intriguing. I'm also kind of taking a look a little bit at the playoff schedules for defenses.
53:30I want to target defenses that play like teams like the Cardinals, teams like the Jets.
53:35Um, you know, those types of offenses, maybe the Browns, uh, Cardinals I'm assuming is a good chance.
53:40Jacoby Brissette's not gonna be playing. Unfortunately, the Cardinals play the Jets in the first week of the playoffs.
53:46So, uh, I, maybe the Jets are a sneaky pick to take later on.
53:51Um, I'm trying to take a look and just see the saints.
53:54Okay. So the saints get the Cardinals and the Falcons, uh, for the last two weeks.
53:59And they are also ranked decently high on my, uh, on my list, but I am going to take Ray Davis.
54:06So I said all that just because I'm going to take Ray Davis.
54:10I don't know who's watching. I'm going to get my handcuff with James cook.
54:14So I am protecting, I'm playing a little bit of the weave game here where when you ask me, sometimes I'm weaving,
54:21sometimes I'm weaving in and sometimes I'm weaving out.
54:24Cause I don't know who could possibly be watching as Robert, you know, did mention here as well.
54:30You have to assume people are watching Trey Tucker goes off the board.
54:34Marshawn Lloyd goes off the board. Um, so yeah, I mean, this is a, this is a brutal, brutal group of players left, but you know what?
54:42I'm going to take Jerry Judy, man. Uh, Jerry Judy is, I know I took Casey conception and I know a lot
54:49of people are not very high on Jerry Judy, but I got news for you.
54:54I think he's going to surprise a lot of people.
54:57I haven't ranked as my 128th player. Uh, he's there at pick like one 70, one 75.
55:02Um, I actually really, really liked that spot for him.
55:05So I'll take a guy like Jerry Judy all day.
55:09Um, when this wide receiver room is really thinning out, I did consider Ryan Florinoy and Tesla.
55:14I do think Travis Hunter is a pretty decent pick in a setting like this.
55:19Um, you know, in best ball, you never know.
55:21Um, and he's still on the board as well.
55:24Well, it's interesting, Pete, when Jalen Naylor went off, I was sitting there thinking like, okay, Trey Tucker is going to go
55:31short enough, the pick directly after you Trey Tucker goes, I would say philosophically, I'm of the mind where I would have preferred you get Lloyd.
55:39And then the other person get Ray Davis, because I'm playing off the fact that unless they have a different skillset, like,
55:46uh, JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey, I want teammates who aren't bottlenecking each other.
55:50And to me cook bottlenecks Davis and you're losing some leverage to the field.
55:55Granted 30 rounds. We just saw Ray Davis go in what round 16.
55:59So it's not like you're losing so much, but those are like finer points where I'm trying to increase.
56:05So shots, like where you have tank Bixby, he's leveraged against Saquon Barkley.
56:09I would have liked to have seen you have Marshawn Lloyd leverage against Josh Jacobs.
56:14So that that's one nuance for me versus if this were dynasty Pete, I'd be all the way with you on Davis and cook.
56:21Yeah, I think that's fair. Um, before we continue, make sure you guys hit that like button.
56:26Make sure you subscribe. If you're enjoying the show, let us know on the YouTube side.
56:31Really appreciate you guys sticking with us. We're getting close to the hour, Mark here.
56:36Uh, before we continue, we're going to take a quick break and then we'll be right back.
56:41The NFFC, my favorite high stakes fantasy platform. Why third round reversal, Kentucky Derby draft slot allocation.
56:47So it's a lottery based system where you can put in your preference where you want to draft it's full PPR.
56:53There's three receivers. It's the best place to play fantasy football, especially for high stakes.
56:58And now they've combined with the FFWC, they have a lot more contests to offer.
57:03In fact, they have a double crown bonus where you can join the NFFC prime time.
57:08And if you win that 300 grand, you can also join the circle world championship and that's 200 grand.
57:14You win both. You win a million dollars. So go to play NFFC.com slash profiler and check the show description for a number of promo codes.
57:22You can use first time, 100 to get a hundred bucks when you sign up, but also every time you sign up
57:29for a new contest, we give you codes to use to get discounts on those entry fees as well.
57:35Thank you to the NFFC. They make our podcast network what it is.
57:39Man. Love hearing that. Another additional promo code that's out there for the listeners profiler one 50 getting $150 off the circle world championship.
57:46So it's not just that initial a hundred off to give you 50 for an entry.
57:51There's a couple other profiler codes that we have.
57:54So NFFC player profiler, we're working in hot best ball summer.
57:57You love to see it. How's the board going right now, Pete, off the break.
58:02Not too bad. I really, really like the Ryan Florinoy pick here.
58:06You know, a guy pick 200. I have Florinoy projected for a pretty strong target share this season.
58:11I'm getting ready to pull it up really quick, but that's one.
58:15And then Kalon black is interesting because we know the health of Christian McCaffrey over the years.
58:21And we also know that Jordan James with the injury already in camp is going to miss a couple of weeks, which
58:27gives black a free runway here to really establish himself as that running back.
58:32Number three for Ryan Florinoy though, I have them with an 11% target share.
58:36I got them catching 70 or having 70 targets and four touchdowns.
58:40So that's a nice upside pick. You're going to be hard pressed to find guys that are going to be able to score four touchdowns.
58:48And I obviously, these are projections. It's not guaranteed, but I really, really do like the pick there for team number seven.
58:55I think that's a phenomenal value right here at this point in the draft.
58:59And the famous adage, you don't want to take zeros.
59:02You just want to get requisite points. We're on the back half of the draft here.
59:07So the back half, the back 50%, you're able to get somebody who can print points, be that wide receiver three in that Cowboys offense.
59:15And then if there's ever a cuff, because we don't really think of handcuffs at the wide receiver or even the tight
59:22end position, it's really a lot of, Hey, who's the backup quarterback in super flex leagues.
59:27And then who's the backup running back available to be a flex or just a direct backup who matriculates up Florinoy serves
59:34both purpose of, he can be a player who prints some points.
59:37It doesn't have to be anything crazy. It could just be 10 points on a given week, not a zero again.
59:44And then Pickens is out, Lamb is out, and he's going to feast.
59:48We love how Dak Prescott looks. He looks great in camp.
59:52We're seeing some highlights. Granted, the full run of the defense isn't there yet, but as you pointed out, great pick on Florinoy.
59:59And same thing with somebody like an Isaac Tesla, who went a couple of picks later or prior.
60:04Tesla's another pick there where he's layered in that team, but going back to what you had, Pete, you've got conception or
60:11conception, as you would say, you got Jerry Judy, Shador Sanders.
60:15When is there any inkling towards a quarterback position and Deshaun Watson or any quarterbacks that are here?
60:20Because a lot of people now have three running backs to currently the two running backs who are on your, or sorry, quarterbacks on your team.
60:28Do you go three quarterback anytime soon? Yeah, I'm considering it.
60:32I certainly am. Travis Hunter just went off the board.
60:35So that was, that was something I had my eye on Kamani Vidal as well.
60:40Defenses are going off the board as well. I will say, you know, I don't need to press for a defense just yet.
60:47There's some defenses that I happen to like that are, that are still out there.
60:52Um, I do believe. Yeah. So one of those defenses out there, so I'm okay.
60:56Not pushing the envelope there. Allen goes off the board.
60:59I'm looking at some stacks. I'm looking at some players that are still available, um, for my current stacks, but I'm not going to get greedy.
61:08Uh, I'm just going to go ahead and secure it.
61:11I'll take Deshaun Watson or maybe Mendoza. You know, I think Mendoza is going to play this year.
61:16So it guarantees me at least the back half of the season that I'll have Mendoza.
61:21But the problem is I'm getting a Mendoza with, with, with no stack.
61:25So it's really just a, Hey, in case Lamar and Jackson daughter, both out, I get a quarterback.
61:31Um, so I'm going to just go ahead and take Watson.
61:34Uh, I won't get, I won't overcomplicate it there.
61:37Um, looking at the running back position, I did talk about James Connor.
61:41I talked about Jalen, right? It's really a gut check of, do you think James Connor or Trey Benson are going to be on the roster?
61:49Who is going to get cut? One of these guys are probably not making this team and could really, really see their value shoot up.
61:57Um, I'm thinking it's James Connor that gets cut because of his, his price tag and the money that the team can save.
62:04So Connor becomes an interesting player to target here.
62:07Vikings just go off the board. Um, so my defense is still there that I was targeting.
62:13Uh, so I'll just go ahead and take James Connor.
62:16Um, you know, at, at this late in the, in the, in the game, Jeremiah, I mean, I love me some James
62:23Connor just in general, brutal injury last year. The setup obviously isn't great this year with where he is on the depth
62:29chart, but he could get traded to a team like the Packers or go to a running back needed team.
62:36Maybe even a team like the 49ers to back up Christian McGaffrey is the RB two there could absolutely see it happening.
62:43So, uh, James Connor will be the pick for me.
62:46I'm not so sure they would do it within their division, but I love the Packers idea.
62:51I like the idea of the new Orleans saints granted Camara's there, so it could be a little bit too much traffic,
62:58but in the event that we're not impressed with Isaiah Pacheco, I personally am not, I would love to see James Connor
63:05just clean up touchdown wise in that Jamal Williams or sorry, David Montgomery role that light role.
63:10Cause granted the skillset at this point in their careers night and day, but James Connor has plenty more left in the tank.
63:17So I love the pick that you made with James Connor.
63:21He's been a late best ball dart play that I've had just for the fact that he's so affordable there.
63:27You're going there in round 19 and to your strategy, you're true to it, Pete.
63:32And I want to ask how you're feeling. Do you feel like all the pressure is off and you're just plucking receiver
63:39running back and mixing in the depth of your team, be it team defense or kicker?
63:44How do you, how are you feeling in this back third of your draft?
63:48Yeah, I feel pretty good. You know, right now we have six running backs, seven wide receivers, three quarterbacks, one team kicker and two tight ends.
63:56There are still some interesting tight ends on the board.
63:59I have to say, you know, Terrence Ferguson high upside shot there.
64:03Kobe Parkinson, I think had eight touchdowns last year.
64:06So don't mind going for a guy like that.
64:09I do think Evan Ingram is going to be involved.
64:12Davis Webb was his quarter was, is it like one of his best friends?
64:16You know, a little nugget last year, Evan Ingram actually played in the final preseason game.
64:21Cause Davis Webb was allowed to call plays where all of the starters actually were benched and weren't playing.
64:27And Evan Ingram actually played. And he had that one big play on the drag route where he went like 60 yards
64:34and everyone was like, Oh my gosh, everything was going to be so good this year.
64:39Like I'm so pumped that he's on Denver to play with Peyton.
64:43It's like, it made so much sense. And obviously he stunk, but they haven't cut him.
64:48He's on the roster. He is the starting tight end and Davis Webb is calling plays.
64:53And again, they did play in New York together.
64:56So now Davis Webb didn't play much, but they are very good friends.
65:00So Ingram is kind of interesting as a target late stowers is obviously still available.
65:04You know, Terrence Ferguson does go off the board as well.
65:08So as you mentioned, Terrence Ferguson player that kind of came to mind forefront granted, it's like a round and a half
65:15and God knows somebody is listening, but Jake Tong just, are you interested in him?
65:19Does that appeal to you at least for the early season play?
65:23Or do you think Pete, Hey, George Kittle at some point is going to be fine.
65:28He'll have the job to his own and it'll be irrelevant to have somebody like Jake Tong just for the stretch.
65:35Man. Tong just is, is an interesting play because Kittle they're down some weapons.
65:39I kept going back and forth when I did my projections this year.
65:43And I, I wanted to give Tom just more touches, but I just didn't.
65:47I think when we're looking at a format like this, when we're, we're, we're pushing for some upside.
65:53Friar mute is a guy who's on the board still that I'd prefer in case there's a chance he finally gets his,
66:00which he, I mean, he's so misused there. Stowers could also push into a starting role if Goddard gets hurt this year.
66:07So I prefer some other upside plays. I do like Tonjes.
66:10He had five touchdowns last year. So there is some appeal there with Kittle with the injury.
66:16Um, I would consider it more if I had Purdy on a stack, but I think I'm probably going to try to veer in a different direction.
66:24Um, I do have to say there is a very interesting running back still on the board, um, that, uh, I am
66:31close to maybe taking, um, very soon. Uh, and when it comes, I will, uh, I will definitely call it out.
66:37Um, Brandon, I, you know, still on the board.
66:40Is that somebody you would take? I would not, and not even if there was a fire, I would not take Brandon.
66:47I, you, it's just a very tough scene. I know you mentioned earlier that you like Isaiah likely any idea or inclination towards somebody like a Theo Johnson.
66:56Does he enter the late tight end conversation? Johnson would be interesting.
67:00Yeah. That's a good call out. I mean, obviously I have Jackson darts, so that could be a nice little pairing.
67:06Um, he had five touchdowns again, you know, as well last year.
67:10So that wouldn't be, that wouldn't be, that's not a bad call out there considering they have some issues with, uh, you
67:17know, with, with their, just their receiving room in general, there's not a ton of options there.
67:22Then it's funny as you're talking about the running back position, is this a rookie?
67:27Is it a veteran or is that even too much to give away at those?
67:32No, it's not too much to give away. Um, it was a rookie from last year.
67:37Uh, and, uh, the guy he, I think he's second on the depth chart.
67:41Uh, the guy that other people think is second on the depth chart went already.
67:46So he's slotted in as the third guy, but I truly think with an injury, he's going to be the guy that slots in.
67:53So we'll get there. We're getting close. I think I can probably take my next two picks and then on the turn
68:00coming back, I'll, I'll probably take a chance on him.
68:03Um, looking at the, the landscape here though, um, at wide receiver, I could also maybe take a chance on a Darnell
68:10Mooney who I'm not in love with, but you know, Mooney would be a guy that I could stack and, um, you
68:17know, when healthy he's, he's, he's been solid. It's just a matter of he can't stay on the field.
68:23Well, I like what you're saying. And when we get to the board, I do have hopefully some running backs I can suggest for you to think about.
68:32Um, but Mooney just reeks of somebody who can get six to 900 receiving yards in the season, but you won't be able to predict it.
68:40Uh, the read, if you follow crack rock on X, he talks about the giants got like 10 different wide receiver twos,
68:47just to supplant the fact that they had to wait for Malik neighbors, but hold on, you're on the clock here.
68:53Uh, is there any inclination has Ollie Gordon gone?
68:56I don't see his name on there. So Ollie Gordon has been the guy that I've been talking about the whole time.
69:03So I'm going to just take him because ADP doesn't matter anymore.
69:07Even if it's a reach, his ADP is like 300.
69:10I took him here at two 39, but off the possibility that anybody is listening, I will take him, but I'm not
69:17upset that you mentioned it because there's no reaches at this point in the draft, Jeremiah.
69:22I mean, let's be honest. There, there really is no reaches.
69:25Um, some, some other players on the board at wide receiver.
69:29I feel like wide receivers more starting to become more appealing at this point.
69:33Um, so yeah, I, I, I mean, let's just take a look at wide receiver for a second.
69:39I'm going to share, uh, I'm up. Hold on.
69:41And while, while you're speaking of those wide receivers, another name that I would just like to invite for you since you're
69:48on the clock, but you can make the decision.
69:51Yeah. Go ahead. Isaiah Davis for the jets and the RB two behind Brees hall getting some reports that it's Braylon Allen third on the depth chart.
70:00I'm not saying, I'm just saying. I thought I I've thought about it.
70:04I have, I think the wide receiver room is going to thin out a little bit here.
70:09So I'm just going to take Mooney just for the stack.
70:12And then if Davis comes back to me, I'm happy to, to, to look at him.
70:17Chimere DK still on the board too. I know, I know there's a lot of mouths feed.
70:23It's a bad offense. You know, you have a lot of target consumption between eight and, uh, Wandale, but I don't think
70:30Chimere DK is just going to go away and he should be a guy that can be a red zone target for them.
70:37And I love that pick for you. And then also not like you're married to it, but we had discussed Theo Johnson.
70:44I think he's still out there available. So you have this like filthy front door and back door stackage for the New York giants with Jackson dart.
70:52So I liked the play that you had, and I want to commend you as well, uh, with the Ollie Gordon play.
70:59He's just a player. It's not near exciting. The dopamine hit because he didn't really hit like we wanted last year.
71:06We were thinking, Oh, we can get some of that Raheem most air roll and wheels up.
71:11And I remember late August, Ollie Gordon was all the rage.
71:14You could not pry off in dynasty in trade markets.
71:17People had already had a draft. It was on the block and you couldn't pay up high enough what people were trying to offer.
71:25So we get that, uh, lust for some of these players as the summer heats up, but Ollie Gordon, I love that play.
71:32If we get any notification about Devon Achan in the preseason, you're looking at round 20 Pete, you would have the starting
71:39back because I believe in correct me if I'm wrong.
71:42I believe it's Ollie Gordon over Jalen Wright. Do you believe it's Ollie Gordon over Jalen Wright?
71:47Oh, and you're on mute. I do. Um, I do believe it's Ollie Gordon over Jalen Wright.
71:53I am surprised that right goes ahead of him.
71:56And I'm also surprised. I mean, we've talked about Devon Achan this season and, you know, Devon Achan is a player who
72:02size wise coming off somewhat of a shoulder, shoulder injury surgery.
72:06Fine. He's not a big player though. He's not a big physical back.
72:10So you also think about that. Plus, you know, do they want to run him into the ground, right?
72:16If this, if this team is very, very bad this year, do they want to pound him?
72:21You know, he's going to get a lot of work in the receiving game.
72:26And do they give him some time, uh, you know, off from being early down back every, every single possession, um, or every set of downs.
72:34And I think, I think Gordon can filter in there, especially as a, as a red zone option.
72:39Um, and I think Gordon would be the first guy up, uh, before you continue, we continue.
72:45I do want to just take a look at the board.
72:48Why don't we ask the viewers, by the way, we got, we got, you know, so far on the live stream, we
72:55have 355 total views in total, which is on YouTube, um, that have tuned in so far today.
73:01Uh, please hit that thumbs up guys. If you guys are enjoying the stream, uh, hit the thumbs up.
73:07It helps us out tremendously. Uh, you know, like, and subscribe if you have not already, uh, breaking news.
73:12Debo Samuel is officially signing with the 49ers that just happened.
73:16Hey, so that go call back to that board.
73:19We'll have to find where he went again and shout that person out.
73:23Yeah. Maybe they had news. Maybe they were scouring the Twitter X streets.
73:27What a call, what a feeling to be mid drag Debo Samuel in round 10.
73:32You can kiss that goodbye. Probably going to go maybe another round or two up.
73:36It's at 49ers off and see a lore. I was just speaking to, I think is it Al Calo on X.
73:43Yep. That's my guy. Yep. Yeah. I think we were having the conversation.
73:47Shout out to him, all the work he does about, Hey, who would we prefer for the 49ers for the commanders?
73:53And for me, I was stylistically saying I'd like digs for the commanders and Debo to come back to the 49ers.
74:00It could be all the old heads reunion with Mike Evans, but the beauty is he already knows and has familiarity with the system.
74:08So love to see Debo Samuel. What a great fit.
74:11What a cool reunion. And as bad as it hurts.
74:14Cause I know, I think Pete, you were kind of in on some Ricky Pierce.
74:18All it hurts to see. I think it was very high on him.
74:23So I think it's bad news for Ricky Pierce.
74:25All for, we might get some of that Chris Brazil type of news that it was half the season and then it's all the season.
74:33So it's pretty sad. You're on the clock here.
74:36Shout out to the 542 people on stream. What are you going through here?
74:40What's in your mind, Pete? Pete, I got to say the, the new Orleans saints, I messed up here.
74:46That was my defense. They just went last. Uh, you know, they just went last and they have one of the easiest schedules.
74:53So I'm going to have to, are you sure?
74:56Are you sure they went, where did they go?
74:59No, they, they went, they went last round. Yep.
75:02They are off the board. Uh, so I'm going to have to pivot.
75:06Um, Oh man. All right. I'm going to take the jets.
75:09I'll take the jets. They have a, they have fourth easiest strength to schedule per draft sharks.
75:15Um, I don't have the jets ranked high in my DST ranking.
75:19So this is a click solely vibes, uh, Cincinnati bangles, green Bay Packers.
75:23Those are two defenses. I'll have to target on the way back, but, um, I do like the playoff schedule a little bit for the jets though.
75:31Um, they get the Cardinals late in the season.
75:34So that's obviously attractive. Um, but yeah, that, that one definitely stings.
75:38They get Cardinals, uh, then they get the Patriots and the Vikings.
75:41So it's not the best schedule after the Cardinals.
75:44So we have a little bit of work to do to, to find a defense to pair with them or two.
75:51Um, I did talk about the bangles bangles. Do you get the Panthers in the first week, week 15, I had them ranked decently high.
75:59Um, well, not, I'm sorry. I had the bangles ranked high for the bangles, uh, not high in my rankings.
76:05Bangles are 17, but yeah, that's a bummer. A little flustered there.
76:09Uh, jets just got to hope, you know, fourth, fourth, easiest strength schedule culture six.
76:13Maybe I take a stab at them, but I'm not going to double up on defenses right here.
76:19I don't think anybody else is going to do that right here.
76:23So yeah, I'm going to have to come back pivot.
76:26We talked about Chimere DK before, uh, Jeremiah he's available.
76:29Um, running back starting to kind of get really, really ugly here.
76:33Um, I'm not jazzed to take a guy like him, but maybe I take a, I take him and just get another
76:40quarterback tight end wise, Theo Johnson and Eli Stowers are there.
76:43I could get the stack with Theo Johnson or I can go upside with Stowers.
76:48I'm sure I go upside with Stowers. Yeah. You're right.
76:51As you talk that out, you delivered and got there.
76:54You would probably be getting too cute with the stack there on some Theo Johnson.
76:59And I think that's something more mature best ball players.
77:02As you're developing, you don't get the inclination to go three and four and just go crazy on a stack.
77:08You, you, you draft half the team at a certain point and you don't just do it to do it at a certain point.
77:15Eli Stowers will print over war value, everything week over week.
77:19Eli Stowers versus Theo Johnson, the path for, uh, Theo Johnson would be Isaiah likely fully out of the way.
77:25I know there's the, uh, Dallas Goddard element with Stowers, but I think there's more believability that Stowers will get more run
77:32as a rookie over Theo Johnson this year. I love to play for the giants in the red zone.
77:38I think a healthy Malik neighbors, the RPO element of Scadabo and dart.
77:42I don't see how they just got to get there first, but I don't see how at the five yard line you stop this giants offense.
77:50And that sounds very disgusting. But when you think of the red zone targets in likely Johnson Malik neighbors in the RPO
77:57that I alluded to, uh, Malikai feels is a huge target too.
78:01It's insane. I, I just think it's wild and people are very much down collectively because it's the Matt Nagy offense.
78:07Yeah. I got to say too, um, Odell Beckham is, is interesting.
78:11I hate to be that guy. Um, but reports have said that he's looked good.
78:16I think he's going to make the team. Um, he's a, he's an interesting pick.
78:21I would never take him this high, but Beckham is, is interesting late, uh, to get him on a stack.
78:27I can look at the Ravens too, shifting from the giants, the Ravens.
78:31I mean, uh, Elijah Surratt is still available. Jacoby lane is still available.
78:35Rashad Bateman, um, might still be available and we get goes off the board.
78:39I'm not a big fan of Legette, but if they don't assign somebody after this injury, uh, you know, with, uh, with,
78:46with the rookie that they just drafted this year, uh, brazzle.
78:50I mean, it doesn't, doesn't end up being the worst pick either.
78:53I do like getting value on some of these guys that aren't signed though.
78:58I mean, Keenan Allen, I'm not taking Tyree kill, but like Keenan Allen's still available right now.
79:03He's probably going to sign somewhere and be a player.
79:06Marvin Mims is kind of interesting. Cause we're talking ceiling upside.
79:10He's obviously like fourth debt on the depth chart, but like you still going to have big plays.
79:15Can you talk that through the room for the Denver Broncos?
79:19Can you tell us what Denver Broncos receivers are still available and how do you see that with Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant, Marvin Mims?
79:26Because I have my thoughts on, I've been clicking a little bit of Troy Franklin sporadically.
79:31I latch onto that coach speak, which isn't always reliable with Sean Payton regarding Pat Bryant.
79:36Hey, he could be like Michael Thomas and granted it's the Jalen Waddle show in Denver, Cortland Sutton, who you got earlier in this draft.
79:44Mims as a Denver Broncos fan, Pete, what's the insight on this Denver Broncos receiving room?
79:49Yeah. I mean, I think it's going to, it's, it's, it's really going to be, so I can go over, uh, a
79:56little bit in terms of, uh, where I have projections for this room.
80:00Uh, so a pap Ryan's going to be the wide receiver three for sure.
80:04Um, I think Troy flanker Franklin's going to take a severe hit.
80:08I think somebody is getting traded. Um, I think that's very, very possible on the horizon here.
80:13I don't think it's Marvin Mims. It's a tough situation for Denver though, because Denver right now, you know, Marvin Mims has
80:20higher value than Troy Franklin, but Marvin Mims is also a free agent after this year, Marvin Mims, all pro, uh, you know, uh, returner last year.
80:29So, you know, he's, he's got some value that matters.
80:32Um, he's also got some big playability and speed and teams love speed, right?
80:36And you can pay for speed. So you look at that element and then you say, well, Troy Franklin is still not going to need to get extended.
80:45So do you keep him? But at the same time, like Troy Franklin also doesn't, he doesn't have nearly as much value
80:52as Marvin Mims if you're going to trade one of them.
80:55Uh, so Mims makes more sense to be traded, but I don't think Denver is going to, you know, soften that room part of the room either.
81:04So it's a very tricky situation for the target share.
81:07I have Jalen Waddle at 21%, uh, with 118 targets.
81:10I could easily see that going higher. Um, I have him for a hundred and 1,281 yards.
81:15I do have his yards per reception at 15.
81:18Uh, so I have him getting back to that year one, year two, uh, in early on in his career for yards per reception.
81:26I have him, you know, projected a 14 and a half fantasy points.
81:30Uh, Corlin Sutton is going to still be involved.
81:3319%. I have met 107 targets. Then it's Pat Ryan at 67.
81:36It's Marvin Mims at 45. And then it's Troy Franklin at 28 targets.
81:40That's how I see this room shaking out. Um, and, uh, that, that would be, uh, you know, that, that would be
81:47kind of my analysis on, on how I see things kind of going.
81:51Hey, I'm trying to see at the receiver position has tank Dell already been picked.
81:56Tank Dell was gone a while ago. Um, I am going to go ahead and just take Theo Johnson.
82:02Cause he did come back to me on the wraparound.
82:05So right now I have four tight ends. That's probably it for me.
82:09I don't think I'm going to take another tight end at this point.
82:13Um, I do have an interesting sneaky pick coming back up at the running back position.
82:18Um, I think it's going to come back to me.
82:21So I'm just going to say it. It's Adam Randall for Baltimore.
82:25Derek Henry has been very, very healthy. Um, he is getting that age where, you know, anything can happen, but there have
82:32been some nice reports, uh, you know, with Adam Randall looking good.
82:36It's early on, of course, but I'll take a shot on Adam Randall, who I think replaces Derek Henry's role before justice
82:43Hill does, you know, if Henry were to go down.
82:46Yeah. I love that play. And funny enough in my pre draft analysis with Adam Randall, he reminded me a lot of
82:53just an inverse version of Zachariah branch at the receiver position where, okay.
82:57Branches diminutive in size. Adam Randall is built like a truck massive, but both players, the whole idea is get the ball
83:04in their hands and get their ball there themselves in space with branch.
83:08It was a little dance there with the words.
83:10Yeah. It's near the line of scrimmage with Adam Randall.
83:14You're trying to just get a truck size lane so he can be on the runway.
83:19If you just get the ball in Adam Randall's hands, if you see how they schemed him at Clemson, it was very
83:25much get the ball in one of the better players hands.
83:29He has a receiving background as well. So there's some versatility skillset.
83:33I love that pick there. And again, Pete in round 25, it's a little bit of a pulse of a player that
83:40you need, but again, trying to not take zeros and you're leveraging upside against a Derek Henry person.
83:45I want to call out Tyree kill goes. I don't think he's even going to play for the entirety of the season.
83:52Yeah. Is, was there any thought towards Elijah Surratt?
83:55And then also how do you feel about Tori Horton?
83:58Cause I love that pick in round 25. Yeah.
84:01Tori Horton's a really phenomenal pick because Horton has a true chance to be the wide receiver to love Cooper cup you
84:08know, respect everything you did for the game. It was great to watch.
84:12But he's certainly not the same player that he used to be.
84:15Tori Horton is a, is an absolutely phenomenal pick at this stage of the game.
84:20You know, lasting to pick 300. And this is the fun thing.
84:24I mean, you know, you sit here and, and, you know, people are probably like, dude, how are you guys drafting 30 rounds?
84:31Right. We're almost at the end here, which this draft has actually flown by.
84:36I mean, we are, we are not even at the hour 30 mark.
84:40So before we continue, we're going to take one more break and then I'm going to bring up a couple of sneaky
84:46players that I'm targeting as we head to the end of this draft.
84:51The NFFC, my favorite high stakes fantasy platform. Why third round reversal Kentucky Derby draft slot allocation.
84:56So it's a lottery based system where you can put in your preference, where you want to draft it's full PPR.
85:02There's three receivers. It's the best place to play fantasy football, especially for high stakes.
85:07And now they've combined with the FFWC, they have a lot more contests to offer.
85:12In fact, they have a double crown bonus where you can join the NFFC primetime.
85:16And if you win that 300 grand, you can also join the circle world championship and that's 200 grand.
85:22You win both, you win a million dollars. So go to play NFFC.com slash profiler and check the show description for a number of promo codes.
85:31You can use first time, 100 to get a hundred bucks when you sign up, but also every time you sign up
85:37for a new contest, we give you codes to use to get discounts on those entry fees as well.
85:43Thank you to the NFFC. They make our podcast network what it is.
85:47All right, beautiful. We are back Roman Wilson off the board reports out of camp.
85:52Roman Wilson has looked phenomenal to start camp. He's been heavily, heavily targeted and he's been out there trading with Jeremy Bernard
85:59in that, you know, third wide receiver spot with the first team offense.
86:03So not a bad pick there. There is a player that I'm going to take next.
86:08I keep teasing these, but I'm going to say that there's a player very, very excited to pick.
86:14If he comes back to me, I don't want to spoil too much, but I think you'll be very happy with the pick.
86:21Any guesses? I can, I want to, I'm going to show you the board.
86:25I'm going to show everybody. I like to see, I like to show people the board, but I'm going to show you what's available.
86:33So we'll switch up the screen here really quick.
86:36It is a wide receiver. Are there any of these players at wide receiver?
86:40If Chimere Dike, you have Jalen Noel, uh, Tyree kill did just go.
86:44Did he just go? Yeah, he did go. Chimere Dike went, sorry.
86:48Chimere went Hill, Jalen Noel, Brasel who's out for the year, Tyquan Thornton, Devon Vele, Skylar Bell, Marvin Mims, Tez Johnson, Darius Slayton, Jacoby Lane.
86:56Any of those guys stick out to you? Or is there somebody that I haven't mentioned that you think, uh, that I might have my eyes on?
87:04Oh, uh, two players. One is going to be Tyquan Thornton for just like the high leverage situation with Patrick Mahomes and
87:11he can get some of that Alec Pierce at range, uh, deep in the draft.
87:16And then, uh, also there was another player that you had.
87:19Oh, Bryce Lance. I saw Bryce Lance up there.
87:22I think he's a very sneaky player with Tyler Shuck and the leverage that you have down between a lava who's had
87:29concussion issues, Jordan Tyson, who has had health issues.
87:32I don't think you're necessarily taking a full speculative full season zero if you select somebody like Bryce Lance.
87:38So between Thornton and Lance, did I hit on anything or would it be Jalen Noel?
87:43Noel for some Texans, but what do you, what do you got?
87:46So Tyquan Thornton was interesting, but Cyrus Allen, uh, the rookie, uh, I, I love the pick here.
87:52Uh, you know, he's getting steamed up as well.
87:55Uh, James Palmer tweeted out Cyrus Allen. Remember that name?
87:58Uh, he's, he's looking good and this is a team that needs help on an offense that should be good.
88:04So I'm happy to get it. I do have to take a defense at this point.
88:09I did want to take the Colts. That was going to be my next pick.
88:14I didn't. So I pivoted to Allen. I figured I could get Colts Allen on the turn here.
88:19Uh, defenses are kind of whittling down here. I've kind of pinned myself in a bad spot with defenses.
88:25I got to be honest with you. Uh, only a few defenses are left.
88:30Uh, it's Tennessee Titans. It's the bangles, the Raiders.
88:33I'm going to go with the bangles because I do think the bangles are going to be better this year.
88:39I had them ranked inside my top 20. Um, you know, they've made a lot of additions, uh, to that defense that
88:46I'm kind of, kind of interested to see. Uh, you know, they did have, they did have one of their top edge rushers from last year's draft.
88:54Shamar Stewart go down, but it looks like it's just a hyper extension.
88:58It looked like he tore his knee. So that's encouraging at least, uh, you know, for the defense.
89:04But, um, I think this defense is going to be better this year, Jeremiah.
89:08So I'm, uh, I'm okay getting them. The defense did not work out.
89:12I thought I was going to have the saints in the, in the back pocket and they went, uh, I should have, shouldn't have got greedy.
89:20And, uh, I did, and it kind of bit me there and you see all the defenses are pretty much going now.
89:27Everyone's kind of just filling up on them. Uh, so there's probably not going to be anything left when it comes back to me.
89:35Well, some of your streaming element, people will forget sometimes you'll see a 51 over under game listed for Vegas for the week and shy away.
89:43And sometimes that's where you can get still all the scoring.
89:46And ironically, some big plays that come along with the way in special teams and in defenses where that team actually plays
89:53up their middle of the pack defense that you have ranked.
89:57I think you have them ranked 17th, the Cincinnati Bengals middle of the pack.
90:01Right. And yes, it's been picked over. So in that sense, going to Bengals, that's the play that you make.
90:07So in a way in round 27 here, you're just playing to the fact that this is something that you would stream it.
90:15It's not going to be a week over week hit, but you're going to hope that Joe Burrow with a little bit
90:21of an improved defense is going to draw those shootouts and Hey, you get a nice pick six.
90:27And then maybe there's eight points out there for the Bengals on a barn burner of a game.
90:33And it's just kind of ironic how it happens.
90:35We know sacks are one of the most predictive things for the better offenses.
90:40It gets us more points, but some of those big plays can be out there even in those higher leverage games.
90:46I remember last year, the 49ers against the Colts, the Colts came out hot.
90:51And I think it was like 17 points that the team defense got, depending on the format, the 49ers had.
90:57So it's not make or break these 13 to 10 games all the time for the defenses.
91:02Oh, and sorry, Cyrus Allen, man. What a great pick.
91:05I love that. Kind of like Tori Horton. I think I'm going to be looking around for somebody like Cyrus Allen.
91:12Here you get them in round 26. Pete, how high would he go if we get more confirmation that he is the
91:19bonafide wide receiver two over Xavier worthy? If he's, he's getting first team offense, three receiver sets, any kind of invitation towards
91:2650% plus snap share as a rookie, how high would you be drafting Cyrus Allen?
91:31Yeah. I mean, I'd be taking him probably like one of your last picks in drafts.
91:36Um, I would have him kind of in that range of Rashad Bateman, Isaac Tesla, Jeremy Bernard, somewhere in that one 78
91:42range is, is pretty much where I would have him.
91:46So getting him here at that value is, is, is very, very nice.
91:50Um, I, I, I don't know. I mean, it's, it's crazy.
91:53You can tell how much of sickos we are that we're getting excited about players that we're taking, you know, at pick
92:00300, but that's just kind of where we are, man.
92:03Taequann Thornton goes off the board just now as well.
92:06Once I take this next pick, we have, I have two more picks after this one.
92:11I'm going to read off my roster and then we're going to talk about a little bit about strategy, uh, just in
92:18general about, you know, what some, what players have been taking, what teams did we like, how they drafted Jeremiah.
92:24Um, so I'll scroll up once we're done and kind of read, uh, so you can get a chance to take a
92:31look at the teams here, but, um, you know, so far so good.
92:35I'm, I'm liking the team that we've drafted. Uh, there are still some interesting plays on the board, still going to probably target running back.
92:43I'm going to take Najee Harris here. Um, it's a throwaway, right?
92:47We're talking round 28 here, but Najee Harris probably signs with the team, maybe plays in that Kareem hunt style role, Jeremiah,
92:54where he, he's just kind of that goal line guy that scores touchdowns, right?
92:58Maybe he goes to a team like Kansas city, uh, you know, to kind of be some insurance behind a Kenneth Walker.
93:05I don't know. Right. But we know there's a lot of veterans that are out there right now, still Keenan Allen, Stefan digs, uh, Najee Harris.
93:13There are veterans that are out there that will probably, you know, not completely take away, uh, but they will kind of
93:20be thorns in sides and maybe score touchdowns or shorts or take target share away from players.
93:25And, uh, those guys, you can get at nice values at the end of a draft like this.
93:31And the beautiful thing is we don't have to start them.
93:34So it's just best ball, right? Like they just get slotted into the lineup.
93:39Uh, so that's, that's the beautiful thing about best ball.
93:42Well, it's essentially, can you tell a story and here's a story?
93:46Okay. It's, it's, it's not necessarily going to happen, but David Montgomery goes down to injury.
93:51We saw last year, Nick Chubb and Woody Marks, uh, Najee Harris.
93:54We don't know if he's dust yet, but I could see if Montgomery were down for a significant amount of time that
94:01it is not, I know for a fact, it will not just be the Woody Marks show.
94:07So right off what's the friction point at all.
94:09It's, it's just a free agent. It's not even a trade as we alluded to with Trey Benson or James Conner.
94:16So it's one less mode of interference. You may find yourself with some Najee Harris being able to just be scooped up
94:23by a team who suffers injury in that example.
94:26Stimulus that just happened with no friction within this own draft was Debo Samuel.
94:30Hey, I'm going to park on the side, be a free agent.
94:34And when something comes up, it'll open up for me and then I'll fit.
94:38I've seen some players. They tend to do it.
94:41There's a benefit there for Keenan Allen, for Stefan Diggs that as need comes up, the money can get there to a
94:48degree, but then the opportunity and the landing spot can be there as well.
94:52Because sometimes it's better to be a free agent and opportune yourself because Debo Samuel is now opportuning himself to getting the
94:59one-year deal and being in an environment where he's familiar and where he can win.
95:04Think of the agent stage of where players are as well.
95:07You get a lot more freedom. I mean, literally it's free agency.
95:11That is a benefit. So to that point, if you have anything to speak onto that, Pete, let us know.
95:17But then I love what you just did with Jacoby Lane.
95:21Backdoor, the most backdoor stack there is. Are you happy with that pick?
95:25Yeah, I'm good with Lane. That was somebody we had talked about before.
95:29You know, he kind of slots in for us, you know, in that stack.
95:33And really for the Giants, I mean, we've got Theo Johnson, you know, we've got Darnell Mooney now.
95:39We've got Malik. We've got Jackson Dart. You know, and then on the Ravens side of things, we have Adam Randall.
95:45So that's somewhat of a stack, I guess, right?
95:48I mean, you know, with Lamar, of course, we have Jacoby Lane and we have Mark Andrews.
95:54So we've kind of done a decent job there for the Browns.
95:57Of course, you know, we have Deshaun Watson. We have Casey Concepcion.
96:01And then we obviously also took Jerry Judy. So we've stacked a decent amount.
96:05We've got some high upside here on this team.
96:08So, yeah, I think it's kind of fell the way we have wanted it to.
96:13There's not really there's only one pick left. So just taking a look at some of these players.
96:19Noah Gray is kind of interesting. I don't want to take another tight end because I have four.
96:24But given the fact that I have Travis Kelsey, Noah Gray last year was a player that, you know, has he's shown
96:31he can be involved right when Travis Kelsey slowed down or when he was injured, he did step up.
96:37So that's interesting. Max Clare is available. I don't know if I want to go the tight in route.
96:43Running backs are pretty brutal. I'm going to read off some of the running backs.
96:48Oh, is there there's a running back that I mentioned earlier that I don't think if my eyes don't deceive me, I think he's still available.
96:56Let's take a look here. So, well, what's who is it?
96:59Isaiah Davis. Did he get clicked? Yeah, he went.
97:02Isaiah Davis went. It's really like Bashard Smith, Devin Neal, Kareem Hunt, Joe Mixon, Eli Heinrich, who I don't want.
97:08Andre Gestime, Jerome Ford. These are really not guys that we can confidently say, hey, if somebody this guy goes down, this guy can step in.
97:16It's if this is the point where the running backs, this is this is not a stage in the game where we're
97:23like, OK, take another running back because somebody gets hurt, they can step in.
97:28There's really just no there's there's not really much left here to that stand out for me is Jam Miller.
97:34I think he would replace for Mondray Stevenson, but you already have Trevion Henderson.
97:38But I would argue that they play this late, right?
97:41That this late, I think that would be an all right pick.
97:45Yeah. And then scroll. Keep scrolling around. I thought, oh, um, Jarquez Hunter, the third running back on the ran.
97:51This deep. He's got a pulse year to with Sean McVay where, hey, you're a rookie and you got to stay over here.
97:59But then, hey, it's year two. We might see that with Terrence Ferguson this year.
98:03Could be an opportunity. We don't like to think or or talk about Kyron Williams or Blake Horm as getting hurt.
98:10But it's a process play where we know it happened.
98:13So law of large numbers, there's an opportunity there.
98:16So are you inclined towards a receiver? What position do you want to go with your last pick here, Pete?
98:22Man, uh, I mean, we talked about Odell. I'm looking at these wide receivers.
98:26I mean, it's it's there's there's not much here that's left.
98:30I mean, maybe you believe in the Don Dante Thornton.
98:33I mean, they really didn't do much in Vegas to add to this room.
98:37I mean, you have Jack Bash. Uh, maybe maybe Thornton's kind of interesting.
98:41I'll star him as I have a couple a little bit of time right here before it's about to come back to me.
98:49Jimmy Horn's interesting with the with the injury to, you know, the wide receiver over there.
98:54I'm scrolling back up though. Marvin Mims here. I know we talked about him before when we think upside big plays.
99:00I mean, he didn't average much last year, only one touchdown, which I thought he scored more.
99:06So that's a little surprising to me. Um, let's see who is what about Calvin Austin here?
99:11You get the get the giant stack. What about or Devontae Walker who could also, I think Walker, I think I would want to go.
99:19I would want to go Walker. Okay. Definitely. Yep.
99:22We'll go Walker. I think the thought process there is I've stacked a lot of bad players on the giants enough.
99:28Uh, you know, Devontae Walker, he's got a big frame.
99:31He fits in a role that, you know, if he steps up and can fend off, you know, the Surrattes and those
99:38kinds of guys, he can be that kind of big X kind of wide receiver in a way fit that big, uh, big, big mold.
99:46Um, but all right, so the draft is over.
99:49Uh, let's go ahead and take one more break.
99:52Stick with us. We're going to talk about the team that we drafted so far, and then we'll come right back.
99:58The NFFC, my favorite high stakes fantasy platform. Why third round reversal Kentucky Derby draft slot allocation.
100:03So it's a lottery based system where you can put in your preference where you want to draft it's full PPR.
100:10There's three receivers. It's the best place to play fantasy football, especially for high stakes.
100:15And now they've combined with the FFWC, they have a lot more contests to offer.
100:19In fact, they have a double crown bonus where you can join the NFFC prime time.
100:24And if you win that 300 grand, you can also join the circle world championship and that's 200 grand.
100:30You win both. You win a million dollars. So go to play NFFC.com slash profiler and check the show description for a number of promo codes.
100:38You can use first time 100 to get a hundred bucks when you sign up, but also every time you sign up
100:45for a new contest, we give you codes to use to get discounts on those entry fees as well.
100:51Thank you to the NFFC. They make our podcast network what it is.
100:55All right, folks, we are back. Thank you guys so much for tuning in and sticking with us here.
101:01We still got 10 people on the YouTube side.
101:04We still got people watching on Twitch as well.
101:07Very much do appreciate it. Smooth is in the house at Tank Bell coming back.
101:12Dell coming back. Also, yeah, Dell is definitely, I have Dell moved up decently high in my rankings.
101:17He looks pretty healthy, Jeremiah. But before we get into the Tank Dell conversation, I do want to mention one more time.
101:24If you guys have not already, please give us a thumbs up on the YouTube.
101:29It does help us out tremendously. Helps to push us out.
101:32Helps push out the channel. Helps support us. Small thing you could do.
101:36Takes two seconds. If you're here, you might as well do it.
101:40You've already been listening to us this long, so you might as well just give us a like at least.
101:46But let's take a look at how we did so far.
101:50So in the first round, Jeremiah, we talked through the process.
101:53I took James Cook at the 111 to anchor down my running back room.
101:58I did have Chase Brown and Kenneth Walker ranked ahead of CeeDee Lamb.
102:02Lamb does slip though into the second round at the 202.
102:05I took Lamb just because this is a start three wide receiver type of tournament here.
102:10So I thought it made a ton of sense to go ahead and make that decision there to take Lamb over the
102:17running backs, even if I have them ranked higher in just a standard points per game situation.
102:22I took Malik Neighbors. I took Mike Evans. Neighbors, we got back on the third round reversal, which was really, really nice
102:29because we never would have got Neighbors, of course.
102:32And to stack Neighbors, Lamb and Cook, I think in the next week or two, you're not going to be able to
102:39find Malik Neighbors in the third round. So getting those guys is pretty unique at this stage in the game or will be unique.
102:46Obviously people have been drafting and Neighbors has been a guy that's been going third round sometimes in the fourth.
102:53But that was interesting. We get Mike Evans, we get Trevion Henderson.
102:56So we start three receivers, two running backs. We get Lamar Jackson, Rico Dowdle, Jackson Dart, Cortland Sutton, Travis Kelsey, Casey Concepcion, Mark Andrews, Stefan Diggs.
103:04That's pretty much our main build of players. We end up starting off in the first 13 rounds with six wide receivers.
103:11Sutton ends up being my fourth. Casey ends up being my fifth.
103:15Travis Kelsey, Mark Andrews end up being the one and two tight ends that I have.
103:20Andrews gets to stack with Lamar, which is nice.
103:23And then it's really just a lot of just dumpster diving from the rest.
103:27Here we get Tank Bigsby, who was a nice cuff to Saquon Barkley.
103:31We take the Dallas Cowboys kickers, which was the first kickers to go off the board in the 15th round.
103:38We got Ray Davis to cuff with James Cook.
103:40And we talked about it when we were thinking upside.
103:44Yes. You know, I don't love cuffing my own player, but given what's on the board and how thinned out things get, I do like Ray Davis.
103:52We've seen him smash when he's been thrown into the opportunity.
103:55If Cook has missed time, Jerry Judy, Deshaun Watson, we get the stack there with him in Casey Conception with Watson, James Connor.
104:03We're hoping we talked about him. Maybe he gets cut and finds a new team.
104:07Uh, Ollie Gordon, we think is the number two for the, uh, dolphins.
104:11Darnell Mooney. We get to stack back up with Jackson Dart.
104:15We take the New York jets out of desperation, but they do have fourth easiest schedule.
104:20Um, Eli Stowers, Theo Johnson late. Uh, those were nice values, especially on Stowers with the upside.
104:25We still get the stack Theo on the way back with Jackson Dart.
104:29We get Adam Randall goes to the Ravens. Cyrus Allen ends up probably being my favorite pick here.
104:35I got to say Cyrus Allen. I ended up getting in round 26, uh, late two hundreds for Cyrus Allen.
104:41And this is a guy Jeremiah, who I think in the next couple of weeks is probably going to be going inside
104:48the top 200 and probably somewhere on that one 70 range.
104:51Uh, and I think he can be a contributor on a team that lacks a lot of weapons.
104:57We take the bangles. We take the nausea Harris who needs a team.
105:01Still, we take Jacoby lane and Devontez Walker to stack up with Lamar Jackson.
105:06And that's the team so far. So I kind of like how things turned out.
105:10Um, I do want to say one more time, if you guys are watching or you're listening on the audio side, make
105:17sure you guys use promo code first time 100, uh, you get a hundred dollars off an entry of $150.
105:23So this only costs, you know, $50 for $150 draft here.
105:27You're only paying $50 if you use that promo code.
105:30And I'm sure people did use that to draft today and probably will tomorrow.
105:34So make sure you continue to use that and then use some player profiler codes as well.
105:40If you've already used that first time 100, you can still get, uh, some discounts as well.
105:45Player profiler 15 gets $15 off the 150 NFFC best ball entries.
105:49So same as what we just did. Profiler 25 gets you $25 off the football guys online championship.
105:54Profiler 100 gets you a hundred dollars off the NFFC prime time.
105:58And then a profiler 150 gets you $150 off the Circa world championship.
106:02Those are our promos. Uh, that's what you can go ahead and do if you want to continue playing and get some discounts.
106:09But Jeremiah, I've talked a lot. I'm going to scroll back up on the board.
106:14Talk to me, you know, quick shot looking at the board here.
106:18Um, is there anybody that sticks out to you?
106:21Anybody that fell? I did talk about Jalen Waddle and Terry McLaurin.
106:24Those guys are typically in a, in a regular format, not high stakes casual leagues.
106:29Those guys are probably going around five, but I do love them because I have them.
106:34I'm ahead of market on them as well. And so I like that somebody took them with conviction here in the early fourth.
106:41Does anything stick out to you on this board though?
106:44Hey, one, I just got to say, I'm really glad that I went P before this.
106:49Cause we're going near hour and 45 on this.
106:52You leverage your top five picks to leverage, to get round six, Lamar Jackson.
106:57I really think set up the entirety of your team because you had the three, two where it's lamb neighbors, Evans wrapped
107:03around to the two running backs of cook and Travion Henderson.
107:07And then you get a non-pressured Lamar Jackson. As you went down the board, you were able to back stack.
107:13You were able to on the front end stack Jackson dart with Malik neighbors, but back end stack on the other side
107:20of Lamar Jackson, where you didn't have say flowers or Derek Henry, but you got seemingly all the rest of the leverage
107:27points in that offense where it's Mark Andrews, Jacobi Lane, Adam Randall and Devontez Walker.
107:32Like you actually subtly got the back of the depth chart as you went to the back of the draft.
107:38So it was really cool how that happened for you.
107:41And then I liked the tight end builds. Uh, but looking at this draft, what was neat, what did stand out to
107:48me was how many times you and I were on the precipice of discussing a player and granted people could be watching, but these are sharp people.
107:56Let's give them credit to the room, including your father who was in here as well.
108:01Shout out to Mr. Terranova. But I didn't like his draft.
108:05We would talk about people. Hey, I dressed that up, man.
108:08We could have left that alone. Uh, we, we would talk about a player in a range and that player would go
108:15within the next four or five picks. So it's a credit.
108:18It's nice to be on the pulse and be talking about the players as we're going, but it's also cool to see
108:25how they'll get gobbled up because it is get your guy season.
108:29And it started and you see it littered. If you read the board, it started with a Marion Hampton at the one
108:36Oh nine, you get a Marion Hampton at the one Oh nine and you're yanking the steering wheel.
108:42Whose value is that too though? It's to the person who team 10 went and got Ashton Janty in early round two.
108:49So you don't take one player it's to somebody else's benefit.
108:52But at the same time, if you don't take your stand, there's people who will do portfolio on this, but if we're
108:59talking about $150 entry, Pete, this might be it, or it might only be five of these teams.
109:04So your shot, there's a finite amount of shots at these players.
109:08If you have a stand. So if you didn't get a chase Brown, who you're very high on, I'll ask you, Pete,
109:15looking at CD lamb there, is there any regret that you didn't get chase Brown?
109:20Or are you happy that you played it out in wet lamb and saw fruition the rest of your team, how it unfolded?
109:27Cause everything's a ripple effect. Yeah, I was actually pretty happy.
109:30Uh, it kind of worked out how we wanted it to.
109:34The only thing that, that bit us a little bit is while I did take the Lamar value there, we didn't get
109:41any high end stacks outside of dart and neighbors.
109:44That's the only thing that leaves me with somewhat regret, right?
109:47Purdy and Prescott go just ahead of us. Um, you know, you can look back on the board.
109:53I did get a ton of value on more, so I don't, I wouldn't change that.
109:58Uh, getting him to fall, getting him behind burrow and Drake may, I have news for you.
110:03I I'm not that high on Drake may this year.
110:06He's got a very tough schedule. Um, and while he does get AJ Brown, he's got a tough schedule.
110:12So taking him as the quarterback to, uh, in round five, the first pick in round five is a massive, massive expense.
110:19And then Jalen hurts. That guy takes, uh, the next round as well.
110:23I'm not sure what that drafter was thinking there because he doesn't even have the AJ stack.
110:28And with hurts, he doesn't even have the Devonta Smith stack.
110:32So that was pretty questionable there. Uh, but to your question with CD lamb, I'm happy that I took him there.
110:38He did fall. And again, you have to understand, you have to understand the format that you're drafting in, in this scenario,
110:45we're talking a three start three wide receiver format.
110:48And so that has to outweigh just because I have chase or Kenneth Walker ahead in points per game projections.
110:54I have to keep that in mind so that I don't end up chasing later on, uh, which we didn't have to
111:01chase because we took the wide receiver in round two and three.
111:05And excellent breakdown, Pete, uh, before we run it, anything else for the audience?
111:09No, I think that's really it. This was a great show.
111:13Uh, me and Jeremiah are going to be back here.
111:16I believe next Wednesday, it's possible it ends up being next Monday, but we think we're shooting for next Wednesday.
