Adonai Mitchell

PositiveProjection28:11

Adonai Mitchell is Davis Mattek's highest-ranked tight end option available at the point in the $2M draft, preferred over other available tight ends.

Insight page

Bucky Irving

PositiveValue9:06

Ian Hartitz is not a fan of drafting Bucky Irving, citing his injury-prone profile at 187 pounds; he notes that Irving's injuries (ankle, shoulder) are predictable given his light frame, similar to Chan Han. However, Hartitz acknowledges he will draft Irving when he falls 10+ picks past ADP as a value play, balancing his concerns with real-time ADP value. Irving was subsequently selected in Davis Mattek's $2M tournament draft approximately 10 picks past ADP, representing the biggest value pick of the draft and anchoring the team's RB core alongside Saquon Barkley and Rico Douzable.

Insight page

C.J. Stroud

NegativeProjection22:02

Stroud is being drafted in the current draft and selected as the QB choice for the team, indicating he is a consensus early-round QB selection in this $2M draft.

Insight page
NegativeValue34:07

Selected as the third quarterback in Davis Mattek's $2M tournament draft, paired with Jaden Higgins for stacking leverage.

Insight page

Cam Ward

NegativeValue13:58

Cam Ward available at the very end of the draft as a QB option; noted as a potential fit for team composition given the receiver stack already in place, allowing flexibility in the build without spending early capital on QB.

Insight page

Carnell Tate

PositiveRole15:15

Carnell Tate selected as part of a strong WR core through eight rounds in Davis Mattek's $2M tournament draft, alongside Justin Jefferson, Lab Makoni, and Malik Neighbors. Part of a wide receiver-heavy draft strategy after early RB/WR anchors.

Insight page

CeeDee Lamb

PositiveProjection1:58

Davis Mattek ranks CeeDee Lamb below Justin Jefferson due to target-share uncertainty. Mattek notes a scenario where another receiver could be Dallas's WR1 (even at a 60/40 split), creating uncertainty about Lamb's target share that does not exist with Jefferson and his Minnesota teammates.

Insight page

Chase Brown

NegativeValue3:48

Chase Brown is positioned in the second tier of running backs (below Genty Cook, Love, Walker, Barkley) alongside Derrick Henry. Davis Mattek notes Brown is 'slightly below' the elite tier, though he could be in that tier if the Cardinals were not projected to be the worst team in football.

Insight page

D.J. Moore

PositiveBust9:06

Ian Hartitz expresses a lack of enthusiasm for DJ Moore as a draft target, grouping him with Christian Wilson and Carl Tate as receivers he has not been a huge fan of.

Insight page

Dalton Schultz

PositiveValue15:50

Schultz is a late-round TE dart that Davis Mattek loves; part of his preferred late-round TE strategy where he took Schultz, Terrence Ferguson, Pat Freiermuth, and Greg Doucet, feeling great about his TE depth. Ranked ahead of Jawan Johnson in Mattek's rankings; projects to finish as tight end 8 due to role as the guy closer to the line of scrimmage in the Texans offense, similar to Cole Kmet in snap share and every-down usage. Over three years in Houston, he has averaged 10 PPR points per game (year 1), 7 PPR (year 2), and 10.5 PPR (year 3), and is currently being priced at his year-2 floor, offering upside at his current ADP. Selected as one of three tight ends in the final five picks of Davis Mattek's $2M tournament draft; Mattek notes minimal differentiation between Schultz, Hunter Henry, Greg Doulich, and Brenton Strange at the tier; personal preference matters more than talent gap.

Insight page

Darius Slayton

NegativeBust53:35

Mattek is explicitly avoiding Darius Slayton, stating he is 'clean and sober from Slayton,' suggesting past disappointment with the player. Slayton is currently injured, adding to the avoidance rationale.

Insight page

Derrick Henry

NegativeValue0:48

Derrick Henry is positioned at the top of the elite running back tier (Genty to Henry range) in Davis Mattek's evaluation, representing the upper bound of the tier that Mattek is targeting in the draft.

Insight page

Gunnar Helm

PositiveValue16:10

Gunner Helm is part of Davis Mattek's preferred late-round TE strategy in rounds 22-35, which he considers to feature some of his favorite picks.

Insight page

Javonte Williams

NegativeValue5:29

Named as a running back option in round three draft discussion alongside Kairen ETN, with the source noting there are three running backs left and a decent chance one gets to them.

Insight page

Jayden Higgins

NegativeRole20:17

Jaden Higgins is a conditional tight end option that Davis Mattek has taken when he hasn't secured Nico (likely Nico Collins or another preferred target). He was selected in Mattek's $2M tournament draft to pair with third quarterback CJ Stroud, indicating he is not a priority pick but remains available as a fallback option.

Insight page

Jaylen Waddle

PositiveValue7:07

Ian Hartitz has been heavily advocating for Jaylen Waddle, bringing in Davis Mattek and Justin Boon (the number one ranker) to support the case. Despite consensus bullishness, casual fantasy players remain skeptical due to injury history. Waddle spends roughly a quarter of every game in the medical tent and hobbles off at least once per game, similar to Julio Jones' injury pattern, yet consistently plays 15–16 games. The source emphasizes that despite the injury concerns, Waddle's production and availability remain strong, making him a smash value in this $2M draft.

Insight page

Jaylen Warren

PositiveRole24:43

Davis Mattek selects Jaylen Warren (referred to as 'Spears' in the transcript) as his running back choice in the $2M draft, describing him as 'pretty good' and preferred over Coleman. Warren has 'outs for Pard being traded,' positioning him in the same tier as Dylan Sampson and Kenneth Gainwell for running back value.

Insight page

Jeremiyah Love

NegativeProjection3:48

Davis Mattek Fantasy Football acknowledges Jeremiah Love has the talent to belong in the elite running back tier alongside Genty Cook, Walker, and Barkley, but depresses his fantasy value due to the Cardinals being 'the worst team in football.' Team quality is the primary factor preventing Love from elite-tier ranking despite his talent.

Insight page

Jerry Jeudy

NegativeValue28:27

Jerry Jeudy was third in the NFL in total routes (highest volume) but 29th in targets last year, creating a significant volume-to-opportunity gap. Davis Mattek has 'drafted this dude so freaking much' and notes his 1,200-yard season two years ago, arguing the route volume alone justifies his ADP relative to comparable wide receivers like Malik Washington, Isaac Tesla, and Antonio Williams. Jameis Winston's arrival improves target opportunity. Mattek acknowledges downside risk (Browns could be 32nd in offense, Jeudy could underperform) but the route volume makes him preferable to alternatives like Jeremy Bernard. Additionally, Mattek notes that Jeudy's ADP has risen significantly year-over-year despite minimal situation change, suggesting potential overvaluation relative to actual role improvement.

Insight page

Josh Jacobs

PositiveValue7:01

Ian Hartitz expresses a preference for taking Josh Jacobs in round three as a favored running back option. Jacobs is identified alongside Malik Neighbors as one of the two most interesting guys in the draft; both go right next to each other and represent draft board volatility. If things move the right way in the final two to three weeks before the season, draft boards will look super different for both players, particularly in redraft formats.

Insight page

Justin Herbert

NegativeValue12:18

Justin Herbert is available in round 6 of this $2M draft and is identified as a fun target; Ian Hartitz is fine taking him here, noting there is optionality at QB with Kyler Murray, Jackson Dart, and Cam Ward available later. Herbert available at pick 74 (after Mahomes) represents good value in best ball formats. Hartitz expresses mild stylistic concern about Herbert–McDaniel fit but still considers him a fun target with optionality at the position given other QB options available later.

Insight page

Justin Jefferson

PositiveProjection1:58

Davis Mattek ranks Justin Jefferson over CeeDee Lamb, emphasizing Jefferson's elite production despite worst-in-NFL quarterback play last year. Mattek notes Jefferson has no competition within five yards (career yards per game), plays in a dome, and has an elite offensive coordinator. Jefferson's production floor is so high that even with poor QB play he outproduced peers, suggesting significant upside with improved quarterback situation. Selected in round one of the $2M draft as a foundational anchor piece.

Insight page

Juwan Johnson

NegativeValue24:36

Davis Mattek ranks Jawan Johnson below Dalton Schultz in his tight end hierarchy. Schultz is preferred due to his role as the guy closer to the line of scrimmage in the Texans offense, similar to Cole Kmet in snap share and every-down usage, with a projection to finish as TE8. Schultz's three-year Houston production (10, 7, and 10.5 PPR points per game) shows volatility but upside potential at his current ADP tier.

Insight page

Kareem Hunt

NegativeProjection49:14

Free agent running back who scored eight touchdowns last year outside the top 200 picks, making him a potential late-round touchdown source.

Insight page

Keenan Allen

NegativeInjury53:52

Keenan Allen is going approximately 100 picks after Stefon Diggs. The uncertainty around whether he will play is a major factor in his depressed draft stock.

Insight page

Kenyon Sadiq

PositiveProjection27:00

Davis Mattek projects Kenyan Sadiq to catch six touchdowns for the Jets and finish as tight end 8, then regress to approximately 400 yards the following year, exemplifying the annual tight end touchdown volatility trap. Despite the Jets' offensive limitations, Mattek is 'pretty into taking Sadi where he goes actually in in a specific build,' suggesting value at his current ADP.

Insight page

Kyle Pitts

PositiveValue16:40

Davis Mattek and Ian Hartitz both express preference for Kyle Pitts as a tight end option in this draft, with Mattek considering him a stacking partner with Jackson Dart.

Insight page

Kyler Murray

PositiveProjection2:27

Davis Mattek frames Kyler Murray as a reclamation project (similar to Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, Gino Smith) who is playing for his career this year. Mattek emphasizes Murray's elite mobility and arm talent (went #1 overall) and predicts he will 'make a lot of people upset about their Call of Duty jokes this year,' suggesting strong performance expectations. Murray's success is tied to his contract future: a good year earns him another bag; a bad year leads to a Russell Wilson-type future.

Insight page

Malik Willis

PositiveValue21:03

Davis Mattek calls Malik Willis 'the easiest pick on the board,' citing his ADP in the 130s as exceptional value. He notes that 26-28 quarterbacks with 100+ rushing attempts over the last 10 years have been top-12 signal callers, providing statistical support for the rushing QB strategy. Mattek contrasts Willis's current price favorably to prior rushing QB investments (Justin Fields, Trey Lance, Anthony Richardson), all of which were 'a billion times more expensive.' The strategy acknowledges variance but emphasizes the value proposition at Willis's current ADP, going after Tyler Shuck in draft order.

Insight page

Michael Mayer

NegativeRole16:40

Michael Mayer has contingent value in a 2023 Isaiah Likely-type situation where he could potentially get traded, though Davis Mattek is uncertain about his role. Ian Hartitz notes the Raiders play a ton of 12 personnel with no wide receivers, giving Mayer opportunity despite the uncertainty.

Insight page

Pat Freiermuth

PositiveValue15:50

Pat Freiermuth is a late-round TE dart that Davis Mattek loves; part of his preferred late-round TE strategy where he took Freiermuth, Dalton Schultz, Terrence Ferguson, and Greg Doucet, feeling great about his TE depth. Projected to be within 0.8 PPR points per game of Dalton Schultz. Despite depth chart concerns with Darnell Washington and Jonnu Smith, he remains not far removed from a low-end TE1 season two years ago and was drafted in the top 100 picks previously. With Jonnu Smith now gone and a new offensive coordinator (Brian Angelino, a McShanny tree guy) replacing Arthur Smith, Freiermuth has improved circumstances.

Insight page

Patrick Mahomes

NegativeValue12:34

Mahomes going at pick 74 in this best ball draft, creating a weird draft environment where other QBs like Herbert fall to later picks.

Insight page

Saquon Barkley

PositiveValue3:15

Saquon Barkley is positioned at the top of round 2 in the draft and Davis Mattek approves of the selection, stating 'That's cool with me, man.' Barkley is grouped in the elite running back tier alongside Genty Cook, Love, and Walker, representing the safest, most premium running back values. Selected as the round-two anchor in the $2M draft.

Insight page

Tank Dell

PositiveRole53:26

Tank Dell is cool with Mattek as a late-round target; he's starting for the Texans. However, there is a report that they will manage his reps carefully given his catastrophic injury history, which makes sense given the severity of his prior injury.

Insight page

Tee Higgins

NegativeValue5:29

Named as one of the top wide receiver options available in round three of the draft alongside Zay Flowers and Lamarr Makoni.

Insight page

Terrance Ferguson

NegativeValue34:07

Selected as one of three tight ends in the final five picks of Davis Mattek's $2M tournament draft to avoid premium tight end selections. Mattek notes minimal differentiation between Ferguson, Dalton Schultz, Hunter Henry, and Brenton Strange at the tier.

Insight page

Tyquan Thornton

PositiveSleeper54:01

Davis Mattek's favorite late-round wide receiver; fell to his team in the draft, representing a value opportunity.

Insight page

Woody Marks

NegativeValue17:32

Woody Marks is receiving hype from beat reporters in mid-July, but Davis Mattek expresses skepticism about the magnitude of difference between Marks and Kenny Gainwell at the late-round running back tier (post-pick 80-85), suggesting the hype may be overblown relative to actual fantasy value.

Insight page

Zay Flowers

NegativeValue5:29

Named as one of the top wide receiver options available in round three of the draft alongside Tee Higgins and Lamarr Makoni.

0:00Another day, another chance to win two million American Doll hairs over underdog fantasy. And today we have your favorite YouTube best baseball streamers
0:07favorite YouTube best baseball streamer, Davis Madak, hanging out. What's up, brother?
0:12>> Uh, hey, man. Thanks very much for having me. Uh, excited to be here on the the Rotoire channel. I've had a a long
0:18and storied relationship with Rotowawire.com. So, always happy to to hop on.
0:23>> OG's of the fantasy game. Love being here and love being in the draft room with you. I have told Davis, maybe maybe
0:29guys, I'm doing it wrong, but I don't know. I trust the man. 1300 drafts done this year. I am giving Davis final
0:35control for any toss-ups we have in our quest to again team up and make some money here. So, we will be attempting to
0:41do that from the 109 position. Going to be hitting what I've been calling Davis the great wall of running backs in all
0:48likelihood. Have you found yourself again if you have the opportunity to attack this kind of again ridiculous Ashton Genty to Dererick Henry range?
0:55Like do you have a target or two amongst that group?
0:58>> I mean Genty is definitely my favorite and then Walker is my favorite of the next tier. I'm open I'm I'm pretty open
1:07to Hampton just having like this completely insane. I'm Hampton curious like I'm not nearly as convinced >> as the market that he's like very very
1:16good. I I mean he certainly could be >> theoretically the offensive line is very good if they can stay healthy.
1:23Theoretically he's got a great offensive coordinator. theoretically, uh, you know, he's got he's got a great quarterback. Like, it could it could be
1:29an all-time situation for him, but how Hey, Ian, you've been doing this a long time. How many times have the Chargers
1:35been the champions of the offseason?
1:36Have they ever not, frankly, have they ever not been the champions of the offseason? I I can't remember an offseason where they weren't.
1:44>> And I get on this show every single time and I keep saying, guys, my biggest bet I'm making is the Chargers being a
1:49juggernaut offense. And it does uh terrify me based on that. Davis. We do have a chance though to get a wide
1:54receiver before some of these running backs. What are you thinking here? CD and Jedha's on the board.
1:58>> I I have Jefferson ranked over Lamb personally, but I I'm fine with that one either way.
2:06>> Let's go with Justin Jefferson. I love me some CD Lamb. I just think there's a scenario where Pickkins could be the
2:12wide receiver one in Dallas. Even if it's 6040, like we don't have that with Justin Jefferson and Jordan Madison.
2:17With all due respect to Jordan Madison, >> I mean, with all due respect to to CD Lamb, it took Justin Jefferson getting
2:25the worst quarterback play in the NFL for him to finally have anyone within five yards of him, active players, career yards per game. Just Chase. Chase
2:35now I think is either tied with him or just above him by like half a yard in yards per game. Jefferson gets to play
2:42in a dome. He gets I I you know I think he's got an elite offensive coordinator.
2:47I I think Kyler is gonna Kyler's gonna make a lot of people uh feel upset about their Call of Duty jokes this year is my
2:54is my anticipation. I mean Guy Guy is playing for the rest of his life. If he plays well this year, he's going to get
2:59the bag one more time. If he plays bad this year, he's got like a Russell Wilson future. So So he's it's very very
3:05important for him to play well this year. and he does fit the sort of Sam Donald, Baker Mayfield, even Gino, like
3:12the Reclamation Projects. You want this ultra talented dude. And guys, even if you're not the biggest fan of Kyler, you cannot deny what he can do mobility and
3:19even arm talent-wise. Dude went number one overall for a reason back in the day. So, getting here though into round two, Saquon Barkley sitting at the top.
3:27That's cool with me, man.
3:28>> Yeah, that's a that's a jam. I I pretty much take these guys roughly in order of average draft position, but anytime you
3:37can get one to fall and you can get the more unique pairing, although I guess we did take Jefferson at a lamb, so
3:42slightly less unique. But I I think that Genty Cook, Love, Walker, Barkley are kind of their own tier. And then I think
3:49Chase Brown and Henry and honestly even Jeremiah Love probably should be in that tier if I had any confidence that the
3:55Cardinals were not going to be the worst team in football. Um, but I mean I do take I do take love, but I think Brown
4:01and Henry are slightly below that.
4:03>> I do feel better about Love and even Achan after going through and looking at how running backs have performed in bad
4:09bottom five, bottom 10 scoring offenses cuz the ones who have managed to still smash almost unanimously were catching 50 plus passes per year, which is firmly
4:18not even on the table, but like expected out of Achan and Genty, you know, >> 100%. And I mean Genty, you know,
4:25everyone kind of writes Genty off last year like, "Oh, like he didn't didn't do I mean he had 1300 yards and nine
4:31touchdowns. Like it it was really concentrated in two games, but you can't you can't say the guy had this like awful season. I I mean he clearly showed
4:42that if he can just get a decent offense around him, he's going to smash. Like I I you know, our our
4:48friend Peter Oberette does the truth serum video." And I think my truth serum video uh my my I'm I'm workshopping it
4:55but it might be Ashton Genty is actually the best running back in the NFL already and it's just being hidden by the fact
5:01that Pete Carol's Nepo baby kids were the offensive quality control coaches for the Raiders last year and I've seen the Genty Trent Richardson year one stat
5:10comparison. Guys, Richardson was like a top five RB and fantasy in year one. I understand what happened afterwards and if okay if we see Genty show me the year
5:182 numbers if those are like T rich we're going to have some serious problems I get it but I tend to agree with you
5:23every single thing went wrong for Genty last year you still look at it and no he didn't live up to ADP necessarily but
5:29still not a bad you know worst case scenario season there so getting into round three Z Flowers T Higgins Lab Makoni the top wide receivers Kairen ETN
5:38and Javvante Williams what are you thinking here Davis >> I would go T or lad here because there's three running backs left. There's a
5:46decent chance one of them gets to us.
5:48So, I like to add >> uh honestly slight preference for Lad just because his quarterback is cheaper and goes >> goes in that quarterback window that we
5:56that we talk a lot about.
5:59>> Were you uh surprised to hear the Bengals could be reportedly interested in another wide receiver?
6:05>> No. No. And I think the I've heard the same thing like I was talking about this on my channel yesterday. Like why like
6:11the Bears should also be like these teams that have two really good wide receivers. Why would you not want to have a third? Why would you not be
6:18interested in Keenan Allen? Why would you not be interested in Diggs? Why would you not be interested in a mid-season return for Tyreek Hill? Uh
6:24you know, I mean theoretically Brandon Iuk or whatever, but like >> right >> if your if your third wide receiver is
6:29Andre Yoshi Boss or Jade Walker or whatever, I mean do you really have a third wide receiver? Like not really.
6:35I'm begging someone, anyone, send the Patriots a fifth round pick for Kahan freaking booty. Looking at you, Chicago, Indie, Kansas City, any of those guys.
6:44It's going to be like a day three pick for him. We see it time and time again.
6:47That's even in addition to all the relevant unks that are free agents that you were going for. Malik Neighbors might not be on the pup, Davis.
6:53>> Yeah, dude. Discount here.
6:55>> That's like that's like the biggest thing in fantasy football that I'm monitoring right now is like the health of Malik Neighbors knee. And I I like
7:01taking Jacobs here, too. Um, love Wadd.
7:04Really any of these guys is fine.
7:07>> Let's go a lick neighbors. Been pounding the table for Jaylen Waddle. I'm sure everyone's sick and tired of me talking
7:12about at this point. But hey, I brought in I brought in Davis. I brought in the number one ranker in the freaking world
7:17that we can judge. Justin Boon and he is also in on Jaylen Waddle. Even if you guys don't believe me, I get it. I've
7:22been wrong before. Trust that guy, Jaylen Waddle. Get the waddle on. Sorry, what were you saying? I think there is no player that is more beloved by
7:31fantasy analysts and less loved by fantasy players than Jaylen Wadd. I think every fantasy analyst is like Jaylen Waddle huge smash. Got to take
7:39him. Got to get him. Let's move him up.
7:40Let's put him in the third round. And every like kind of just like, you know, normal guy. Oh, I'm going to draft some
7:45best ball teams. I'm going to draft my home league with my buddies. They're like, "Buddy, I'm not drafting Jaylen Waddle with my own money." Like that's
7:51for that's for that's for all you fantasy analysts with your fancy numbers who can't just watch the games and see that Joan Waddle spends a quarter of
7:58every game in the blue medical tent.
8:00>> He's got that Julio Jones gene, man.
8:02He's just hobbling off at least once if not more per game. And then you look up at the end of the year and you're like,
8:06"Oh, I guess he did actually play 15 or 16 games once again." So love us some Jaylen Wadd. And honestly Davis loving
8:13the start here. Justin Jefferson round one, Saquon round two. Got our hero RB Lakoni and Malik Neighbors after that.
8:20Have you been completely just drinking the early RB, you know, kind of syrup that's been going on or have you also
8:26been wanting to experiment with if not zero RB builds like the sort of hero type that we have going on now?
8:31>> I think the the hero builds are quite nice and frankly the the teams that I feel best about are like through like
8:39six rounds like truly like perfectly balanced like three running backs, three wide receivers. those generally speaking I look at those and I'm like man that
8:46feels so much better than the teams cuz you know I mean I'm drafting a ton of teams but I I will occasionally do the
8:53Genty Walker ETN Javvante and then oh I'm there in the fifth round and Tutinfell to me so I guess I just got my
8:58got my five running backs right there and what I am this is truly like in my heart of hearts this is what I am anticipating
9:07I think we are going to get if if not multiples of them one of the old guys who goes in round one, they're getting
9:15hurt or or just going to suck or or like just like could be McAffrey, could be Henry. I mean, even Jonathan Taylor's on
9:22his third contract. He's about to hold in to get a new contract.
9:26>> Um, >> hey, we're up here. Christian Wson, Carl Tate, DJ Moore. Haven't been a huge fan.
9:30I really don't want Bucky. If you do, >> I would take, if we're not taking Bucky, I would take Tate. And I'm I'm
9:37interested in my rankings. I I'm I don't think I've got the courage to do it yet, but I I want to move Price ahead of
9:45Bucky.
9:48>> Yeah, I think I'm already there, honestly. I get it.
9:51>> Yeah. I mean, Price, I think, is like the thing is is a lot of guys like in our space liked Bucky as a prospect. I
9:59did not. And so, I was pretty surprised when he was as good as he was as a rookie. And you just I mean this is just
10:04kind of the way football works. But if a guy is a three rass and weighs 187 pounds, it shouldn't be that surprising
10:09when he gets injured, right? That it's it's kind of the whole deal. Like a Chan Han was supposed to be this super
10:14fragile guy. And guess what? He's gotten ankle injuries. He's gotten shoulder injuries. Like that's what happens when you weighs 185 pounds.
10:21>> Bucky 10 picks past.
10:22>> I think we got Yeah. Now we got to take Bucky. Yeah.
10:25>> And this is what you do, guys. And I'm sure you know Davis will say the same thing. Like I am not a big fan of
10:30drafting Bucky. Okay. So, I still don't want to necessarily be at 0%. So, when am I going to draft him when he's 10
10:35freaking picks past ADP? That's how you balance it out with guys you don't love.
10:39>> I do I do um I kind of my my philosophy is just like the first like six rounds I I don't I try and not be like I'm going
10:47to do this in this draft. It's just like I mean one of the things we know everyone's done great like a lot of
10:52people have done great work on this but like the number one predictor of how many points your best team is going to
10:57score is how much real-time ADP value you get. Like literally the number one is just like it's why it's why drafting
11:03in a room where someone is on autodraft is so frustrating because you just you never end up getting the value.
11:09>> Yeah, >> that's so backwards, man. If you time out, that's on you. Set your queue. All right, set your queue. Get whoever you
11:16want. If you time out and you don't have someone set, why do we reward them with the following ADP? Give them freaking my
11:22guy Duke Johnson. Give me whoever's at the bottom of the freaking list.
11:26It's I they would never do it for baseball mania. I do wonder if maybe they would do like a $5 contest or
11:33something that time where it's like if you if you auto you're uh you're out.
11:36But yeah, no, I mean I I completely I completely agree with that. It's so it's so >> like there's just nothing worse than
11:42than being or multiple auto drafters.
11:44Then you're like, "Oh my god, just just the quarterbacks will go. It's just miserable."
11:49>> I've been in leagues too and I think this is fair. Like if I auto and I'm not being responsive in the chat saying,
11:53"Can you please pause for a second?" or anything like that. They give me some bum. Three other guys draft. They take
11:59whoever they want. I'm allowed to go back and say, "Okay, I want this guy who's still on the board." I can't erase
12:04picks. So, that happened. It's like when the Vikings missed their pick in the NFL draft like 20 years ago. You can you can
12:10go back and get your pick eventually, but you can't erase, you know, what happens after.
12:14>> No, I uh I I hard I hard agree with that. And this is I I actually have not seen Bucky in the sixth in a while on
12:22Underdog. So that was that was that was a nice little value for us there.
12:25>> Didn't fall too behind too far behind at RB which helps out especially with you know some of these guys not going. So
12:31Justin Herbert is sitting here for us.
12:33>> Wow. Mahomes goes at 74. We're we're in a we're in a weird we're in a weirdo draft right now.
12:38>> Hey we'll take it man. So Herbert would be a fun target here again. We got chances for Kyler later. Jackson Dar
12:44could be in a little bit. Cam war at the very end. So a lot of optionality at quarterback. We don't need to go Herbert
12:49but you know man I'd like to. I uh I mean what's your like what's your projection? Because one of the things
12:55that has been I I mean I'm fine taking Herbert here, but one of the things I've been a smidgen worried about is I don't
13:01know if Herbert and McDaniel are actually like that great of a stylistic fit. Now that obviously could be okay.
13:08Well, what has Mike McDaniel had to work with in in his career calling plays? I mean, you know, Tua was one of his
13:14quarterbacks and then he was also the offensive coordinator for the 2021 uh San Francisco 49ers who >> Hey, real quick.
13:21>> Quinn Johnson went so I'm not afraid of someone double tapping, so I would be okay to push it. Craft >> these guys all these guys all are
13:28whatever to me. I I have no I mean I like Harvey and Reed, but that it's it's whatever.
13:34>> Let's go with D.
13:35>> That's fine by me, too.
13:39>> I like I like Rico. I like Rico and Warren. I I honestly think they're both probably pretty good picks. Assuming
13:47that the backfield has similar expected fantasy points to what it did last year, >> dude. It's a hack. These 40-year-old quarterbacks, they don't want to get
13:56hit. They just dump the ball down. We've seen it with Breeze. We saw with late stage Big Ben. Like, their arm strength
14:01goes. Rogers can still sling it. That Hail Mary last year was freaking nuts, man. So, I'm not even saying that, but
14:06he does not want to get hit. We're going to get a bunch of targets to these guys.
14:09I I think it's probably Warren. I think Warren's better. I'm not so sure Mike McCarthy thinks that.
14:14>> I mean, Mike McCarthy brought in his boy. You got It's It's the year It's the year of uh of nepotism. You know, Chris
14:20Rodriguez there with the with the Jaguars, you know? I mean, every every former Saint is now a Denver Bronco.
14:26Like, you look at their depth chart and you're like, "Dude, why is Adam Troutman on this team?" [laughter] >> Yeah.
14:32>> Yeah. Herbert Herbert is an awesome pick here, though, assuming that we get him.
14:36Yeah. It's really good. And again, everyone, that's something that it's in these best ball drafts where you can be a little bit more sure about people
14:43going out of their way to stack. I think you can make stuff like that. So again, when I saw Quinton Johnson go here, I
14:49was less concerned about someone, you know, taking QJ and then taking Herbert.
14:53When there's no one at this turn that again has a reasonable stack, that is when you can push quarterback. I would
14:57say more so your home league situations.
14:59It'd be more so like, all right, if I'm trying to wait on a QB, look at the dudes drafting between you and the next
15:04time. And hey, if a lot of them already have their QBs, it's a more reasonable chance to be able to wait. So just again
15:10some tips and tricks if you're into that kind of thing. But through eight rounds, Davis, we got our quarterback in Herbert. We got three RBs, Saquon, Bucky
15:18Irving, and Rico D looking strong at wide receiver with Justin Jefferson, Lab Manki, Malik Neighbors, and Carnell Tate. So likely going to be playing the
15:26lateish round tight end game. But I don't know about you, man, I was taking like how have you felt about your drafts
15:31with early versus late round tight end?
15:34I love everyone loves Brock Bars and Coulson love him. Like I don't think that's a debate. But the debate for me
15:39is like do I like my teams when I'm burning that top four round pick on them or do I like just throwing a couple late
15:43round darts? So far I think it's more so the latter.
15:47>> I mean I definitely want to be overweight on Bowers, but there is no like it's so so clear that the teams you
15:56feel the best about are Oh, I took three late tight ends. I took uh I took I took Dalton Schultz. I took Terrence
16:03Ferguson. I took Pat Fmouth. I love my tight ends, right? Greg Doulich. Um I I mean I even still take Starders who you
16:11can get in the 18th round like reliably every single time. Gunner Helm like I like the tight end like 22 through like
16:1735 >> feature some of like my favorite picks, >> you know? And and the >> I like I take a little bit of Michael
16:24Mayer. I mean, you know, they're going to play a ton of 12. They have no wide receivers.
16:27>> He's got he's got contingent value for sure. I I think Mayer is is a fine pick.
16:32He's like 2023 Isaiah likely sort of situation, you know. We think the guy is maybe maybe he gets traded. Who knows?
16:38Crazier things happen.
16:39>> Maybe he gets traded. Yeah.
16:41>> Jackson Dart sitting here for us. Kyle Pittz. I do like Kyle Pitts. What are your thoughts here? Jacobe, Kenny Gamler, Rashad White. We can go pretty
16:48much any number of directions.
16:50>> I would probably be Jacobe.
16:53I do like Rashad White. I mean, Dart, we have the stack setup. Maybe we just go Yeah, maybe we just go dart and and and
17:02we can maybe be done at two quarterbacks.
17:04>> If we don't get another quarterback, we're we're okay. We can >> We're okay. Yes. Yeah.
17:09>> Awesome. Going to have opportunities. I think this would be a decent like Cam Ward team because we don't have to spend
17:14up. If Kyler Kyler is staring at us at this next round, but that would be three pretty high quality.
17:20>> I'm fine. I'm fine with that. I I mean I I pretty much every team on underdog do three quarterbacks, five running backs,
17:26seven wide receivers, three tight ends.
17:28There's no one really calling to me. If we hadn't gotten like Bucky or Rico, I think we'd be playing catch-up at
17:34running back, but why not just have the best quarterback room in our little league here?
17:38>> Yeah, that's why I mean that's that's ultimately why I feel that way is that these like you know after about pick 80
17:4585 the the positions the skill position players just get so flat. I'm like I don't know like really what is the
17:52difference between Kenny Gainwell and Woody Marks? Like I'm sure there's some difference, but it's not that big.
17:59>> Yeah, Woody Marks getting hyped up a little bit from uh beat reporters that may or may not know what the hell
18:04they're even talking about in the middle of July, but something to keep in mind there. Kyler went anyway, so it's a moot
18:09point. Rashad White, is this a uh slappy pick? I'm still trying to figure out that right lexicon.
18:14>> Uh I mean our boy our boy Jacob Sanderson takes a lot of him, but he just fits this build nicely because
18:21>> over game we already have Bucky. Yes, we definitely want it.
18:24>> Cool.
18:24>> Because we're we're both a little bit in between on Bucky. Like neither of us are big Bucky guys. Dowel, same deal. Like
18:30could be could be just could just be the third down back, you know, could be the Rashad White. So like you're we're just
18:35stacking up a little bit of variance. I mean I take a lot more of Jakory Crosky Merritt in that back field, but and
18:43especially as he is continued to get cheaper, but I mean there's there's no doubt about it. Like Rashad White is probably right now better at running on
18:51early downs than JCM is at playing at passing downs, but that might not be true for the entirety of the season.
18:57Like running backs, there a lot of examples of this running backs being really bad on passing downs earlier in their career and figuring it out as they
19:05go on.
19:06>> I just feel like Rashad White is that running back who know he's not going to have the sick cut back 70 yard touchdown
19:11that we're all, you know, going crazy for on Monday or anything like that. But I think when the coach designs a play to
19:18pick up four yards in the B gap, Rashad White's going to get you that. And Bill, for better and for worse, I think
19:23there's a lot to be said about someone who can't have his explosive big play ability. Bill was so freaking good last
19:28year for a late round pick, but everyone got out of their freaking minds in August. So, it becomes this weird thing
19:33where almost similar to Genty, like he kind of underperformed the skyhigh expectations we have. So, I'm not necessarily anointing White over Krosky
19:42Merritt, but whoever like Davis, if we knew for sure it was Rashad White, he's going five rounds earlier.
19:47>> He's going way Yeah. If we knew if we knew for sure either way, the price is really bad. I I'm kind of betting we do
19:54know, which is that Rashad White is going to play the role that Eckler was in and JCM is going to play the role
19:59that he was just in. And yeah, >> they let I mean, they they didn't even pretend they were going to keep Chris
20:04Rodriguez. They were like, "All right, man. Thanks for your service. Uh we we'll bring in what Katron and uh Robert Henry and Jerome Ford and and we're just
20:15going to we're going to figure it out.
20:17>> We got Jaden Higgins [snorts] chilling. I've taken a little bit of him when I haven't gotten Nico, but I don't
20:22think we necessarily need to go that route. If we did want to get our first tight end, there goes the Isaiah likely
20:27opportunity. That's okay. Mark Andrews Concade. Again, we can go kind of any number of directions here. How you feeling?
20:33I take Andrews the most of this list. It Some people think he's absolutely cooked. Some people like him just fine.
20:40Um I I don't mind Jaden Jaden Higgins also gives us an option for another quarterback. Yeah, let's let's do that actually. Let's do Higgins.
20:49>> Cool. Yeah, I have uh there's a couple guys you can do. Coker and uh Bryce Young later as well. Higgins and Strad,
20:56you know, or just take Malik Willis and any freaking random Miami Dolphin at the end of your draft as well. Maybe Andrew
21:02comes back to us.
21:03>> I I Where where where are you at on Malik Willis? I I to me he's the easiest pick on the board. It's just like, well,
21:09it's not going to work out sometimes, but this is what we've been I mean, dude, we did Justin Fields. We did Trey
21:15Lance. We did Anthony Richardson. Guess what? All those dudes were a billion times more expensive. Now, this dude is is in the 130s. It's wild. The only it's
21:2426 to 28 last 10 years 26 to 28 quarterbacks with 100 plus rush attempts have been a top 12 signal caller. Can it
21:31happen with Justin Fields where they just play bad enough to get benched?
21:35Okay, >> for sure.
21:37>> And I was wrong with Justin Fields last year. I thought he would have a longer leash than possible. I'm not saying it's
21:41impossible for that to happen to Malik Willis, but we don't have to. Usually Davis, we got to draft these guys like
21:45around the QB1 borderline. Now he's just a late round dart. So yeah, I'll sign up for that. He's going after I mean no
21:51disrespect dude, but he's going after Tyler Shuck, you know, like come on, man. Uh >> or what do you think?
22:00>> I'd probably be concaid here.
22:02>> Do you want Straoud? We got to take him now if we want him.
22:04>> Uh actually, yes. Yeah, let's just do that cuz again, I like the I like the late tight ends. Like again, you know,
22:10we can we can look at the projections on rotoire.com, but I'd guess Dton Concaid is I'd guess he's pretty close. I bet if
22:16we pulled him up, I bet he's pretty close to Pat Fryouth. I I bet I bet they're within like 08 points per game, honestly.
22:25>> Yeah, maybe. Man, I It's interesting with Fri, man. They pay Washington. I feel like they love that dude. But Frymouth isn't that far removed from a
22:34season in which he was, you know, like a low-end tight one.
22:37>> Two years ago, we drafted Pat Frymouth in the top 100 picks.
22:43>> You know, >> it's not [clears throat] that long ago.
22:44It's not really that long ago, man. I mean, even last year after they signed Jonnu and they started playing Darnell Washington the year before, he was still
22:52like in like the 130s, 140s.
22:54>> Yeah.
22:56>> And and now Jonnu is gone. They get a new offensive coordinator who is This is one of the things I I thought that um
23:04like big fantasy football would be more hip on this, but Arthur Smith is gone.
23:08He's with your boys. He's at uh he's he's the Ohio State Buckeyes offensive coordinator. the guy they brought in, Brian Angelino, I think is how you
23:15pronounce it. It's doesn't have a G. It has a ch in it.
23:19>> Angelico. There you go. And yeah, one of the two. He's a McShanny guy.
23:24>> He's a He's a He's a Mcshanny tree guy.
23:27He He was the uh quarterback's coach, offensive quality control coach under KOC for the Vikings. So, we've got Aaron Rodgers,
23:38all-time great quarterback. We got all these skill position players. We like the Steelers were like 27th in pace last year and they're still not going to be
23:46super fast cuz Rogers controls that, but they're going to be faster.
23:49>> Like I I I think the Steelers for the way like cuz baseball is such an annoying game where it honestly is kind
23:56of just mining out the value from these bad teams cuz everything in baseball is related to cost and taking Steelers players does feel like I mean you're not
24:04going to hit a home run but there's there's a lot of doubles against the wall there. I think >> they got to be one of the only teams
24:10that doesn't have a single top 12 quarterback or tight end or a top 24 running back or a top 24 wide receiver.
24:17And like I don't think anyone expects them to finish 10th like top 10 in scoring, but they could easily finish what 16th or 17th again. So
24:24>> they could they could easily finish 17th in scoring.
24:27>> Yeah. So all right. No Gatsen. That's honestly okay. Joan Naylor, Hunter Henry, Jawan Johnson. What are you feeling here?
24:36>> [sighs and gasps] >> I would probably take Spears or Coleman and then just be done at uh at running back.
24:43>> I feel like Spears has the better. Yeah, let's go with Spears. That dude just football man.
24:49>> I was going to say Spears is pretty good. He's got outs for Pard being traded. Um or or just catch I think
24:58Spears in the exact same uh Dylan Samson and uh Kenneth Gainwell sort of tier, you know.
25:09We're back.
25:10>> We're back.
25:11>> We're [laughter] back.
25:13>> Glitched out for a second.
25:15>> I was like, "Oh, man. Piss you off."
25:17>> No. No. [laughter] Uh, I don't know if that was my internet or yours.
25:21>> Uh, can you show me the can you show me the tight end tab?
25:25>> Yes. It's going to be a little scary.
25:27Jan, >> I would I actually have Schultz ahead of Jawan in my rankings. I I mean I don't I don't really care and I I don't sweat
25:35>> ADP down here very much, but Schultz um >> like kind of just easily finishes the tight end eight last year because
25:43>> he is going to be the guy closer to the line of scrimmage in that offense and like >> he very similar to Kate Uton. He just
25:50plays like every down like every like all the time. Then maybe he gets trimmed a little bit by Marlon Klein. I don't
25:56know.
25:57>> We've had these three years though in Houston. First year 10 PPR points per game. second year seven, third year 10.5. And it's like, all right, he's
26:05being priced at when he finishes seven, so let's go ahead and just try to draft this. Like, he could easily, we see this
26:11every year, Dave, it's like tight end 10 through tight end 19, there's like 1.1 fantasy points per game that separate him. I absolutely think Schultz could be
26:18somewhere in that tier.
26:20>> Easily. Easily. Yeah. And I mean, that's why like the every year the easiest lesson in fantasy football is like the
26:26worst picks in fantasy football are like tight end five through 13. They're just like categorically the worst picks. I I did a whole video about this on my
26:35channel and I pulled up some of the examples and it is so funny to see some of the guys who have been drafted as top
26:4010 tight ends because they scored touchdowns the year before like just guys who immediately are like out of out of football. It's it's just it Pat
26:48Fernuth actually funnily enough was uh was one of them. But like >> Hawinson last year >> Hawinson. Yeah, dude. It's just I mean
26:54Andrews has been at a bunch. Like guess what dude? Kenyan Sadiq is somehow gonna catch six touchdowns this year for the
27:00crappy Jets. He's gonna be the tight end eight next year and then he's gonna have like 400 yards. You know, that's just
27:05that's just how it goes.
27:06>> Yeah.
27:07>> I wasn't chasing Sadi up like, you know, pre-draft and even a little bit after he's kind of going closer to that tight
27:11end one borderline. I will say though, he's kind of reached that same point with Omar Cooper, Casey Conception where it's just like, hey, they're a first
27:19round pick and they're going this late.
27:20Okay, I'll take you sometimes at least.
27:23I mean, I I I mean, I'm pretty into taking Sadi where he goes actually in in a specific build. You I wouldn't want
27:30him on this one because I like So, we're going to take three and we kind of just need guys who are going to run a bunch
27:35of routes. But >> I don't know what if the Jets aren't the Jets, man. What if what if the Jets What
27:40if the Jets win eight games, you know?
27:42>> What if [snorts] But do you know what I think that's going to happen? Any team could be good. All right. And Vegas
27:49team could be good. Yeah.
27:50>> Dead last, you know. So >> I hear you.
27:53>> I would I would bet on them beating that total.
27:56>> I do too. I don't think they're >> definitely think they're closer to 32 than one though. Not the hottest take in
28:02the world. I do see your point. But again, if it's >> I'm way more fine taking that chance with Cooper and Sadique than I am with
28:08Garrett and Bree and burning a top four round pick on it. That's all.
28:11>> I like I mean I like Adnai Mitchell. So I would have helm would be my highest ranked tight end here.
28:17>> Okay. Well, we already have two Titans.
28:19That's my only problem. Okay. Uh, yeah, let's take Dosich then.
28:23>> Cool.
28:24>> Or actually, take Judy. Take Judy.
28:27>> Hey, no [ __ ] complaints here, Davis.
28:29I have drafted this dude so freaking much. Is having 1,200 yards two years ago bad? I'm sorry. Jameus Winston actually wanted to throw this guy the
28:37ball for once. Excuse me, >> man. I I I don't want to be the guy falling for the
28:47propaganda for Jerry Judy, but how do you at at look at the wide receivers who go around him? Malik Washington, Isaac
28:55Tesla, Antonio Williams. Jerry Judy was third in the NFL last year in total routes, 29th in the NFL in targets. He's going
29:05to I mean, he might stink. He might be totally done. And the Browns might be 32 out of 32, but man, that is a lot of
29:11volume to just be like, you know what, dude? I'm taking Jeremy Bernard instead.
29:15>> Dude, he got Again, you guys like fantasy points, separation scores. I do.
29:1914th best dude last season. All right.
29:22He was still separating out there.
29:23Dolich.
29:24>> Yeah.
29:24>> Yes. Yeah, let's do that.
29:26>> Sweep.
29:27>> We're We're going to get We're going to get sniped on my boy. No. No way. Is Tfur gonna make it back around to us?
29:32People are >> No.
29:33>> People are too hip now, man.
29:35>> Yeah. It's sad. Back in back in my day, T Ferg would have been he wouldn't have even been in the fantasy football
29:42magazine, dude. They he would have been he would have been totally unknown to the general public.
29:48>> I will say I was looking at uh all the outside the top 200 picks. How many touchdowns did he score last year? It's
29:54Kobe Parkinson number one with nine and it's free agent Kareem Hunt with eight.
29:59Like it is again I've been drafting Ferg. He's got the highest upside. There is a scenario where he's basically wide receiver three. McVey said the right
30:07things kind of says the right things about everyone in the offseason. I get it. But I'm in on Ferguson, but it is
30:12curious if forced to like we could get Kobe Parkinson round 18. Have you been going down that road?
30:18>> I've taken him a couple times just as like a pure uh protection play. Like man, how pissed will I be if Kobe
30:26Parkinson scores eight touchdowns this year and I was drafting his backup all season, you know? But I I mean I think
30:33that Kobe Parkinson obviously like he had >> he had the Gary Barnage season. He had the the the um >> Robert Tonion,
30:42>> J Robert Ton, Jacob Tammy, you know, these guys who just pop up with with big touchdown seasons out of nowhere on on
30:49limited volume like >> Perkins. I mean, dude, you want to talk about funny names that were top picks?
30:54Tyler Higgby was once a top 100 pick uh for >> crazy in that last four games of the year winning everyone their titles. All
31:01right, that's the thing. If Kobe didn't dud in that like week 16 game when everyone finally got around to starting him, I bet he'd be going like 30 picks
31:09earlier. But there is the very real kind of you screwed me in the fantasy playoffs so I'm not drafting you next
31:14year caveat. Honestly, I I think what it probably is is that Claire being drafted, you would think that is a bear
31:26signal for Ferg. I I actually am interpreting it the other way where taking a tight end that early is them being like, "Dude, we got to have like
31:33five tight ends cuz we don't have a third wide receiver. Our whole offense this year is going to be based around
31:38these guys actually being able to catch the ball. Like, we can't just have glorified tackles out there." Yeah. And if Parkinson regresses, like we got to
31:46have another plan or or or they just move on. And and Tyler Higgby, this will probably be his last year for the Rams.
31:52They'll probably cut Davis Allen. You know, >> we are approaching round 17. Two more picks. Davis, I know we need one more
31:59tight end. We're probably good at running back. So, is there another wide receiver you like to target late and is his name? Rashad Baitman.
32:06>> I mean, Baitman is cool with me. Uh Tank Dell is cool with me. Jaylen Null is cool with me. We do have so that would
32:14make sense.
32:15>> Yeah, I'm not taking Darius Sllayton. I I am clean and sober from Sllayton. Uh my favorite >> two, man. But Davis, now that we aren't
32:22taking Sllayton, he's going to give us 706.
32:26That's just how it >> would be. I mean, he's hurt right now, too. Like, uh >> why is Keenan Allen go 100 picks after
32:34Stefon Digs?
32:35>> We just don't know. Just don't know if he's gonna gonna play. Taquan Thornton actually is is my favorite late wide
32:41receiver. HE FELL TO US. That happened.
32:43>> Wow. What a jam. People come on down.
32:47>> It's so funny. Of course he fell to us because I'm so used to streaming these drafts with like my people who know who
32:52I'm going to take and they never they never want to let me get Terg. But now we're here. We're you know we're we're
32:57pre-recording this. So we're just we're just chilling right now.
33:00>> I'm keeping Marshon Lloyd in the queue just so he knows I appreciate him. But I understand that we are going wide
33:05receiver here. So yeah, probably Baitman. I think Dell already won. He's starting. You know, we got that good video out there, so people are wising up
33:12to it at this point. Yeah, he went round 16.
33:15>> Although, there was a there was a report today on Dell that like they're going to really manage his reps, which makes
33:23sense, dude. He had that injury was catastrophic, man. It was so bad.
33:27>> Horrific. Horrific. Not Not like he's this big guy either. So, round 18, everyone. We have made it here. Let's do
33:34some more shot Baitman, dude.
33:37>> I'm cool. I'm cool with Baitman. I mean, sounds sounds like every day that is uh is is happening that uh he's just going
33:45to be the wide receiver, too. Like, they draft Serat, they draft Lane to to throw you off the scent, but at the end of the
33:51day, it was it was always Rashad Bait, man.
33:54>> It's not like, man, I get it. Serat, great production score.
33:59I even like Jacobe Lane as more of a he was kind of like my favorite day three later sleeper and then he went
34:05>> I liked him. I liked him, too. Yeah.
34:07>> Yeah. I was like, I don't know. Making sick one-handed catch for two years at USC is kind of cool if you ask me. Dude,
34:13our societyy's so lame. Dudes make one-handed catches now and we're like, oh, no separation.
34:17>> No separation.
34:20>> And they're kind >> separate, brother. [laughter] >> Yeah.
34:24>> Team nine over here again. Started off with Justin Jefferson and Saquon Barkley. Went wide receiver heavy after that. Lab Makoni, Malik Neighbors, and
34:31Carnell. Tate got a free falling Bucky Irving about 10 picks past ADP. That was probably our biggest kind of just value
34:38I would say of the draft. Rico Dattle after that to get our RB3. Justin Herbert and Jackson Dart again good stacks with L Manki and Malik Neighbors.
34:46We picked up Rashad White in round 10.
34:48Jaden Higgins after that to get our third quarterback CJ Strad. Taj Spears to complete the running back room.
34:53Obviously you guys have not heard me say a tight end yet, which means we had to take three of them in our final five
34:57picks. Daltton Schultz, Greg Dol, Terence Ferguson. round things out with two wide receivers who again this time last year just purely looking at where
35:05they went last year versus where they're going now. We're going so much higher.
35:09Jerry Judy, Rashad Baitman, has their situation really changed that much because we because we added some rookies. Well, Davis and I are betting
35:16it hasn't. So, it's not like we're talking about these 33y old dudes who are clearly past their prime men. I know
35:22last year didn't go great. I'm just not convinced they're suddenly these horrible football players. So again, Davis, I would like to believe that
35:28every single team I draft is going to be the winner. So we'll keep, you know, the optimism and stuff, but truly I I forget
35:33if it was I heard you say it or Peter, whoever I heard it first, but like, you know, there is a certain way to build
35:38where you're like, I have a bullet. I think this team has a chance. And I feel like this team has a chance.
35:43>> This team for sure has a chance. It's structured well. We have our stacks. All three of our quarterbacks are stacked. I
35:48I think if you are going to forsake Bowowers, McBride, and Loveland, this to me is kind of how you do it. There's
35:56just not much of a difference between Daltton Schultz or Hunter Henry or Greg Doulich and Brentton Strange or whatever. Like they're you you can have
36:02a personal opinion, but the reality is they're they're more or less >> the exact same guy. So, I uh I I I like
36:09this team quite a bit. I mean, number one way to like your team is to get an ADP faller like Bucky and then to have a
36:16guy who's going to rise. Like if if Harbaugh comes out tomorrow and says Neighbors is good to go, we expect him
36:21to play week one. Malik Neighbors in the 40s is done. It's over going to going to going to be a second round pick.
36:26Probably probably going to go like if if like if Neighbors plays in a preseason game, which I think is very very
36:33unlikely.
36:34>> Mhm.
36:35>> He would go where St. Brown, Jefferson, and Lamb are going.
36:38>> Yeah.
36:40That's and guess what? If if you're if you guys want to just wait until the end of August and draft and not to deal with
36:44this stuff, okay, fine. I get it. But if you are drafting more so around the calendar, like those are the sorts of
36:49bets you should be willing to try to make in such a big tournament like this one. So, the thing I saw uh today
36:54literally from Adam, shout out Adam Levitan quoting Jordan Renan. Renan said straight up, all eyes will be on neighbors who is expected to avoid the
37:02physically unable to perform list. Like that's the main issue, dude. I I can live with a two-e ramp up. I just don't
37:08want to live with that ramp up in weeks five and six. Like if we're good to go in September for neighbors, like come
37:13on.
37:15>> It it is I think he and Jacobs are the two most interesting guys and they go right next to each other because if
37:23things move the right way, draft boards are going to be super different in the last like last two weeks, three weeks
37:31before the season and for like reddraft stuff too. You know, a lot of people have not even I mean, I haven't done my
37:36home league draft yet. And I'm like, if I I mean, first off, I guarantee you I'm taking Neighbors in the fourth round of
37:41my home league, even if he is on the pup, but like that's also a situation where if he is at the one two turn and
37:47like I think the Giants are going to be more runheavy and all this stuff, then I'm going to have to think about it.
37:52>> Davis, I appreciate you, brother. You are streaming all day, every day. Make sure you guys again go ahead and follow
37:57him. You guys probably already are if you're watching a basketball draft, but man, absolutely crushing out there and just a a grinder's grinder, bro. I I I
38:04know you get out there, you play some golf and everything, but you know, we're all going to be wrong and say some stuff
38:09that's going to look bad in 12 months and stuff and we sure are, man.
38:14>> We sure [laughter] will. But man, you truly are in there putting your money down every single day. And man, I I just
38:19appreciate you.
