Latest / Fantasy NFL Today / Best Ball Draft, Team Builds, Rashee Rice & Najee Harris Impact
Transcript
- 0:00[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome in to the sports ethos, the NFL fan us today, show by sports ethos.
- 0:06[SPEAKER_00]: I may have to be quarantined so you can follow me on Twitter at a Q-fresh, which is kind of talking a bit about the board, how things have shaken out.
- 0:17[SPEAKER_00]: The first couple rounds are really big as far as setting the tone for the draft and what you want to do as far as builds like the one or the one or eleven when Jean-Teen Derek Henry.
- 0:31[SPEAKER_00]: So that they're obviously probably going to stop at two for a little while, maybe go three and then probably be a fragile running back build.
- 0:39[SPEAKER_00]: I went ahead and went to either receivers.
- 0:41[SPEAKER_00]: I love Drake London.
- 0:42[SPEAKER_00]: I almost took Brian Thomas Jr.
- 0:44[SPEAKER_00]: But in a BBM, while I was talking to myself, apparently, I'm going to pull up my guys, not that I'm pulling up Drake London, but taking over Brian Thomas Jr.
- 0:55[SPEAKER_00]: The Falcons, I think, have some sneaky, wide, or they have some sneaky potential to be the best offense in football.
- 1:05[SPEAKER_00]: Here we see where she writes falling after the news broke that he he got sentenced to five five years suspension.
- 1:13[SPEAKER_00]: Thirty days in jail that I think can be served really throughout that time period.
- 1:18[SPEAKER_00]: So people are he's going to start falling for sure until we figure out really what exactly is.
- 1:25[SPEAKER_00]: going on with him.
- 1:27[SPEAKER_00]: I'm probably not going to take him here.
- 1:30[SPEAKER_00]: I really like JS and a lot.
- 1:33[SPEAKER_00]: Bree's Hall, can I think anger backfield?
- 1:36[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to hope that one of these two come back to me, which I'll definitely get one of them.
- 1:42[SPEAKER_00]: All right, let's go ahead and take Jason lean into the strong wide receiver build.
- 1:46[SPEAKER_00]: And then a quick turnaround here in five picks.
- 1:49[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you all for bearing with me through the several minutes of silence for you all.
- 1:55[SPEAKER_00]: Definitely appreciate it.
- 1:58[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see, come back here.
- 2:00[SPEAKER_00]: What is DK MACF at thirty five?
- 2:02[SPEAKER_00]: That's really surprising.
- 2:03[SPEAKER_00]: The Rishi Rice continues to fall.
- 2:05[SPEAKER_00]: I think it'll end up settling.
- 2:10[SPEAKER_00]: probably somewhere in like the mid-forties to fifties for a little while, it'll take some time to get there, although maybe not in this draft.
- 2:18[SPEAKER_00]: I am gonna try to anchor my back field with Omar in Hampton though.
- 2:22[SPEAKER_00]: And we'll talk a little bit more about Naji Harris later, kind of when he pops up on the board.
- 2:27[SPEAKER_00]: But if you're going to give me a higher hand than the fourth round at this point, knowing that Harris is going to start on the non-football injury list, probably definitely miss a little bit of time like this is a Maran Hampton's time to take over the back field and just have a strangled.
- 2:42[SPEAKER_00]: So I am very comfortable at this point in the off season with the information we have.
- 2:47[SPEAKER_00]: I'm very comfortable with anchoring my running bat core with him.
- 2:51[SPEAKER_00]: Kind of makes me wish I did go with Nico Collins instead of ominer off simply for the week, seventeen correlation because the Texans play the chargers, but that's okay.
- 3:04[SPEAKER_00]: It's really not the end of the world again.
- 3:06[SPEAKER_00]: We got to get there.
- 3:07[SPEAKER_00]: We got to get to week, seventeen and there's still so much we can do throughout the first four rounds.
- 3:12[SPEAKER_00]: Jaden Daniels went a couple of picks afterwards to stack with Terry McLaren.
- 3:17[SPEAKER_00]: That's also a really interesting piece of news.
- 3:20[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if y'all will I'm sure y'all saw as most of the folks here watching are probably in the best ball of streets almost daily like myself.
- 3:30[SPEAKER_00]: That contract situation is apparently getting ugly.
- 3:33[SPEAKER_00]: he indicated that, you know, it's going to be hard for him to step on a field without some clarity or some security as far as the contract situation goes for him.
- 3:46[SPEAKER_00]: So I've kind of faded the commanders anyway, just because I do see some regression, a second year regression coming from Jane Daniels.
- 3:56[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you's a great player.
- 3:57[SPEAKER_00]: Rishi Rice went all the way at forty seven by the way.
- 4:00[SPEAKER_00]: That
- 4:03[SPEAKER_00]: that might end up being a really great value.
- 4:06[SPEAKER_00]: there, and then Joe Burrow, the one-on-one win Chase Higgins, just buying the bullet taken Joe Burrow, well before ADP, as we all know, in the best ball street stat.
- 4:18[SPEAKER_00]: There are some Joe Burrow snipers out there, people love to quote unquote, protect the sanctity of the tournament.
- 4:25[SPEAKER_00]: So I really like just kind of getting your guy there.
- 4:29[SPEAKER_00]: My opinion, and we'll come back to the commanders in the second, because I realize we got off-kilter there, but
- 4:35[SPEAKER_00]: I think Joe Burroughs, if you've got Chase and Higgins, there is nobody you're going to take there that is going to be worth more to that team than Joe Burrough to risk it to me.
- 4:44[SPEAKER_00]: So I think he's a fine pick right there the four or five turn if you are banking on Higgins and Chase both being top.
- 4:51[SPEAKER_00]: what, ten, twelve, fifteen, receive, wide receivers.
- 4:55[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm back to the commanders.
- 4:58[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't think that they added enough on offense for me to kind of really love them, taking the next step.
- 5:06[SPEAKER_00]: People are going to say that, a dbo, they had a dbo.
- 5:09[SPEAKER_00]: I, I don't know how much Debo has left in the tank.
- 5:13[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm not willing to bet on an aging Debo coming off of an injury.
- 5:18[SPEAKER_00]: And he's kind of had some injuries anyway throughout his career.
- 5:22[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm just kind of feeding them as a whole.
- 5:25[SPEAKER_00]: A tube covered one at fifty four.
- 5:28[SPEAKER_00]: Somebody I would have loved to add here.
- 5:30[SPEAKER_00]: But I think we've got a good balance.
- 5:32[SPEAKER_00]: We can kind of see what falls to us.
- 5:34[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be a running back or a receiver based on where ADP is now.
- 5:40[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I really, who let's see.
- 5:43[SPEAKER_00]: Calvin really went.
- 5:44[SPEAKER_00]: That was a guy I was thinking about.
- 5:45[SPEAKER_00]: I don't love safe flowers unstacked.
- 5:48[SPEAKER_00]: So probably, you know, let him pass.
- 5:51[SPEAKER_00]: Evan Cameras is sturdy running back.
- 5:54[SPEAKER_00]: I like Odunze.
- 5:59[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, or LaVay is could we could be seeing a real value with the LaVay here if he stays healthy and that offense has some semblance of a quarterback.
- 6:07[SPEAKER_00]: I think I'm gonna do that.
- 6:08[SPEAKER_00]: A clear wide receiver one just to go with just for Alfa's four absolute target earners.
- 6:16[SPEAKER_00]: I think is an excellent first four.
- 6:20[SPEAKER_00]: Saints, poor quarterback room be damned.
- 6:25[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is a good start.
- 6:26[SPEAKER_00]: Probably
- 6:27[SPEAKER_00]: going to go with a running back here.
- 6:29[SPEAKER_00]: I'll happily take care if he falls instead of a late Saint stack.
- 6:33[SPEAKER_00]: It's one of my favorite late kind of panic stacks, I guess if you will, I'm although I'd kind of be planning for it here.
- 6:42[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see flowers one at fifty nine should cure all the way up at sixty.
- 6:47[SPEAKER_00]: I wonder if that that is not even the Josh Allen, Dr. Tian, call my sixty one.
- 6:51[SPEAKER_00]: Oh boy, this might be one of those drafts that becomes questionable if those types of picks continue, but we write on we keep them serious because you never know.
- 7:01[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we're going to go ahead and take out my camera.
- 7:03[SPEAKER_00]: That's a nice value.
- 7:05[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, people are going to say it probably could have flipped them and gotten the same way probably.
- 7:10[SPEAKER_00]: But again, just going to take my guys and happy to get a commander there in the sixth round.
- 7:15[SPEAKER_00]: We've got two solid running backs, four solid receivers.
- 7:19[SPEAKER_00]: Commander is also another target earner in that offense.
- 7:22[SPEAKER_00]: There's the clear cut running back one, although the age.
- 7:26[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a fair price, especially knowing that I'm going to go ahead and go with a Saints stack.
- 7:32[SPEAKER_00]: Here then the draft, I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet as far as my first quarterback course.
- 7:40[SPEAKER_00]: Where I'm going to lean and we'll see how things will see how things play out here.
- 7:45[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so doing today, I said I liked him a lot.
- 7:47[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just looking at fifty-eight ends up falling to sixty-five.
- 7:50[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's great value.
- 7:52[SPEAKER_00]: That drafter started receiver, tight end receiver quarterback.
- 7:56[SPEAKER_00]: That was the McLaren, the McLaren Daniels team, receiver receiver.
- 8:01[SPEAKER_00]: So they're definitely going zero.
- 8:02[SPEAKER_00]: There would be a wouldn't be surprised if they kind of took some at eighty-eight, eighty-nine, one of four, at least two of those three picks are going to end up being
- 8:10[SPEAKER_00]: running back for a team I would bet James Conner is six he's having a nice discount to one Jennings there's definitely been some grumblings from him some grumblings some rumblings from him regarding wanting to contract or wanting to trade
- 8:26[SPEAKER_00]: We kind of have some history with how the Forty-Niner's hand of us, some recent history with IU, they blocked for a while.
- 8:33[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to say they kind of called his bluff per se, but they kind of blocked on a contract for a while, left the relationship seemingly sourly as publicly.
- 8:43[SPEAKER_00]: And then I ended up signing into a big deal.
- 8:45[SPEAKER_00]: And then last season, I mean, it was a slow start.
- 8:51[SPEAKER_00]: There was, I guess, some rumors and stuff.
- 8:53[SPEAKER_00]: Some stuff going on that, you know, folks around me, he wasn't really happy there and stuff like that.
- 8:57[SPEAKER_00]: And then he got hurt and, you know, you can't blame a guy for getting hurt.
- 9:01[SPEAKER_00]: Ricky Pierce thought it was a seventy-three.
- 9:03[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to highlight that because I love Ricky Pierce all.
- 9:05[SPEAKER_00]: I almost took him.
- 9:06[SPEAKER_00]: If Alvin Khmer wasn't there at sixty-three, I was probably going to pull up Ricky Pierce all to sixty-three.
- 9:12[SPEAKER_00]: I even over at Dunesay, I think.
- 9:15[SPEAKER_00]: I have a lot of or Dunesay, a lot of a kind of stacks here, I guess we'll call it around the turn.
- 9:24[SPEAKER_00]: And Ricky Pierce always just one of my dudes, I'm taking a big stand on and BBM.
- 9:28[SPEAKER_00]: If I'm going to go out, I'm going to go out with my guys.
- 9:32[SPEAKER_00]: We can potentially look at yours or a couple of picks away.
- 9:35[SPEAKER_00]: Tony Pollard, I like Tony Pollard to go for weeks, seventeen correlation with the Saints.
- 9:41[SPEAKER_00]: That would be an interesting, interesting running back.
- 9:45[SPEAKER_00]: He's provided safe floor.
- 9:46[SPEAKER_00]: There's a little bit of ceiling and much to be improved offends, but I think
- 9:50[SPEAKER_00]: Tajaj Spears is going to definitely get some more work.
- 9:54[SPEAKER_00]: And what I'm actually going to do, sure if he'd be there, I'm going to pull up Darnon Mooney and we're going to, if you're drafting the room with me, please don't, please don't hear this.
- 10:05[SPEAKER_00]: means you were going to take mooney and then we're going to go ahead and make sure we get Michael Paddats and go ahead and secure the best offense in football.
- 10:11[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, Tony Pollard went in eighty so that's okay because we are going to get Dornal Mooney and I love that first five.
- 10:21[SPEAKER_00]: We can probably hang tight on running back or running back on receiver for a little bit, maybe look for some other positional values to kind of round out the roster.
- 10:34[SPEAKER_00]: I'd like TJ Hawkinson for tight end.
- 10:38[SPEAKER_00]: If I had any of the choose receivers, I definitely would have picked home with their EV-II, but not in this build.
- 10:46[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really want to try to force a back stack with.
- 10:49[SPEAKER_00]: with Hollywood Brown because I already have five receivers I like to kind of keep.
- 10:53[SPEAKER_00]: That's six to one, a little bit ambiguous.
- 10:56[SPEAKER_00]: Should I need it for stacking purposes?
- 10:59[SPEAKER_00]: Unless a make a book is here because I don't really love, I'd love the running backs.
- 11:07[SPEAKER_00]: Hampton, Judkins, we'll talk about having a second because I'm going to lock in here and make a pick.
- 11:12[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think we're going to take our guy, just like we said it to VBM.
- 11:17[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to get in ride with like Boocker, even though we're not going to stack him with Baker that's okay.
- 11:21[SPEAKER_00]: We've got a couple.
- 11:23[SPEAKER_00]: All of our other quarterbacks are still available to stack.
- 11:26[SPEAKER_00]: And the lines we got golf, we've went through target panics.
- 11:31[SPEAKER_00]: I like Dornal to the late value.
- 11:32[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to target the Saints as well.
- 11:35[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm not too worried.
- 11:38[SPEAKER_00]: I guess, although just finished saying I like to kind of keep that's not open in case I need it for a back stack.
- 11:46[SPEAKER_00]: I think there's a role for him early on with Godwin still being a little bit questionable for week one.
- 11:56[SPEAKER_00]: I think he can kind of step in right away and prove that, hey, throw me the ball early.
- 12:02[SPEAKER_00]: I'm worth it.
- 12:03[SPEAKER_00]: I'm making your team better.
- 12:04[SPEAKER_00]: And then with Evans aging, they're still and having some injuries.
- 12:08[SPEAKER_00]: Actually, with the hamstringing missed quite a few games.
- 12:12[SPEAKER_00]: I think that a book, this is
- 12:15[SPEAKER_00]: This is a great spot for him.
- 12:17[SPEAKER_00]: I missed when you can get him in the nineties, but I'm still taking him here.
- 12:22[SPEAKER_00]: Once he kind of reproaches, once he kind of surpasses, I think the J.D.
- 12:27[SPEAKER_00]: and Reed Ricky Pierce all area, if he gets there, is probably when I'll cool off on him.
- 12:33[SPEAKER_00]: But I really, I love that upside.
- 12:36[SPEAKER_00]: So Quince on Juckins, I did want to highlight his situation here for a minute.
- 12:41[SPEAKER_00]: He went eighty-nine, which is kind of currently around his ADP, although his ADP is definitely falling at least ten spots, or probably close to around at this point.
- 12:52[SPEAKER_00]: after the news came out that he was arrested for a domestic violence charge.
- 12:58[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to get too much into the weeks of that.
- 12:59[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not a legal expert by any means.
- 13:03[SPEAKER_00]: But we do know that there's a legal process.
- 13:05[SPEAKER_00]: There's an end of the end.
- 13:06[SPEAKER_00]: There's an end of the fell process.
- 13:07[SPEAKER_00]: And whether we like it or not, the end of fell has been pretty lenient on these things and really inconsistent as a whole.
- 13:17[SPEAKER_00]: I'm kind of avoiding him for the moment.
- 13:21[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't want to shout out Willie knows ball.
- 13:23[SPEAKER_00]: He was the first one to put it on X or Twitter as we still call it.
- 13:28[SPEAKER_00]: So shout out Willie knows ball for being the first one on that news to make the Twitter verse aware of it.
- 13:35[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see.
- 13:35[SPEAKER_00]: Let's lock back in and see what's going on.
- 13:38[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to take another receiver.
- 13:40[SPEAKER_00]: None of the core backs really align here.
- 13:43[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to hope and pray that everyone in Grim's available.
- 13:47[SPEAKER_00]: My maybe second most roster tied in at this point because I've
- 13:50[SPEAKER_00]: been taking a lot of Theo Johnson lately for the Giants.
- 13:53[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe a bit of a homer pick, but I think he's also got a lot of potential to step up as maybe the number two or number three target on the Giants offense.
- 14:01[SPEAKER_00]: Can talk about that later a little bit, though, if we get there, no need to force in any Giants talk unless we're talking about my neighbors, because that dude is incredible.
- 14:14[SPEAKER_00]: So let's see here.
- 14:14[SPEAKER_00]: This guy doesn't have a tight end.
- 14:16[SPEAKER_00]: He did it.
- 14:16[SPEAKER_00]: He did it to me.
- 14:18[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
- 14:19[SPEAKER_00]: What are we going to do here?
- 14:20[SPEAKER_00]: Do we just go away?
- 14:23[SPEAKER_00]: Let's go ahead and take this extra.
- 14:24[SPEAKER_00]: When I pull him up a little bit to go with the sea hawks.
- 14:28[SPEAKER_00]: And then I guess that we could target that that kind of be our three quarterbacks.
- 14:34[SPEAKER_00]: Then that we target.
- 14:35[SPEAKER_00]: We can kind of build this out with lake quarter racks.
- 14:37[SPEAKER_00]: Get a lot of value here early at the other positions.
- 14:43[SPEAKER_00]: And just kind of see what happens that way.
- 14:45[SPEAKER_00]: I do love Rashid Jihad and do we go with the, I don't know about going with a mega scene stack that right like I like I like Kelli Moore, I like the offense.
- 14:56[SPEAKER_00]: The quarterback situation is tough.
- 14:58[SPEAKER_00]: They did spend a second real pick on Jihad.
- 15:00[SPEAKER_00]: So he definitely have some confidence in.
- 15:05[SPEAKER_00]: Um, in him, especially, you can't even count more offense.
- 15:08[SPEAKER_00]: She he'd win so that's good news and we can stop talking about the Saints now until we get to the end of the draft.
- 15:14[SPEAKER_00]: I'll probably, I don't love Scadaboo.
- 15:17[SPEAKER_00]: Bye.
- 15:22[SPEAKER_00]: probably pick him.
- 15:24[SPEAKER_00]: He's definitely, as our fourth running back, I think it's fine.
- 15:29[SPEAKER_00]: We took a bet on a couple bets on a good running back class.
- 15:36[SPEAKER_00]: Scataboo or Skatebow does have, I believe, his proud Skatebow.
- 15:41[SPEAKER_00]: So, excuse me there, there is definitely potential that he could be the number one running back in the Giants off end, just as we were going to avoid talking about them.
- 15:50[SPEAKER_00]: But I mean, Tyrone Tracy is a converted receiver at a college fifth round pick, which is, I mean, the fact that he hit is great because the hit rate on those guys is pretty minor.
- 16:03[SPEAKER_00]: And so was fourth round picks, which Sharpen was, but I guess I have a question about that that if anybody has any sort of thought or reaction to, feel free to post it in the chat and chime on in.
- 16:18[SPEAKER_00]: But so the stats kind of indicate in the analytics and the data indicate that the hit rate for fourth round running back and Davey running back, which is fourth round and beyond, is pretty low relatively speaking, so like, you know, why are we high on some of these guys?
- 16:33[SPEAKER_00]: But we also know that this was a really strong running back class as far as the draft and the prospects of the now rookies.
- 16:42[SPEAKER_00]: So like what if the product of that is teams were waiting a little bit.
- 16:48[SPEAKER_00]: And instead of jumping on no obviously gnt one six, we had Hampton, Judkins, Anderson all go in the sack around Harvey going the sack around.
- 16:57[SPEAKER_00]: But kind of after the big names, like what if people just waited because they knew that there was just a lot of good ones and there was a lot of depth in this draft.
- 17:04[SPEAKER_00]: Like we saw, Taj, Taj Brooks going the fifth round.
- 17:09[SPEAKER_00]: I like Taj Brooks.
- 17:10[SPEAKER_00]: We can talk about him towards the end of the draft, too, if we end up needing some time to fill, but like so what if we have a spike in these day through running back hits?
- 17:22[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's just an engine's in question.
- 17:24[SPEAKER_00]: It's a question that is, I'm probably not smart enough to answer.
- 17:29[SPEAKER_00]: So hopefully somebody else will either hear time in or at some point in time kind of look and say, hey, this is the data for it.
- 17:37[SPEAKER_00]: Let's lock back in here a bit.
- 17:41[SPEAKER_00]: I think we can go, oh, let's see here.
- 17:46[SPEAKER_00]: Put Michael Panics in the queue because we're not going to mess around and try to push.
- 17:50[SPEAKER_00]: We're definitely going to take him.
- 17:53[SPEAKER_00]: Probably a decent time to lock in a tight end.
- 17:57[SPEAKER_00]: Wish you'd be great in joke, good value, a tense boss past ADP.
- 18:01[SPEAKER_00]: And I think we're just kind of normally not going to mess around.
- 18:03[SPEAKER_00]: We're just going to kind of go ahead and do that.
- 18:07[SPEAKER_00]: We're pretty good at running back in receiver.
- 18:10[SPEAKER_00]: The quarterback situation there in Cleveland is pretty murky.
- 18:14[SPEAKER_00]: But I mean,
- 18:18[SPEAKER_00]: Someone's got to get targets and Joe Flacco was decent and does the fancy offense is a good one.
- 18:23[SPEAKER_00]: Hollywood Brown went one thirty one and just to kind of piggyback that off of the Rasheur Ice Talk earlier.
- 18:30[SPEAKER_00]: His ADP was thirty five thirty six and really kind of falling a bit.
- 18:34[SPEAKER_00]: So it looks like there might be a slight bump for him to kind of push back and do into the eleventh round instead of falling into the twelfth round.
- 18:43[SPEAKER_00]: Two picks here, Jason McCarthy went, and unless something crazy happens, which there are keybees snipers everywhere, we are going to get our guy, Michael Paddix.
- 18:54[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that we are an excellent, excellent spot here.
- 18:57[SPEAKER_00]: I think we've got a really strong core, and if we can just fill it out nicely, hit on our quarterbacks, even if we need to pull them up, just because we waited so long, we want to make sure that we get them.
- 19:09[SPEAKER_00]: And by way, I guess I mean me.
- 19:11[SPEAKER_00]: I want to make sure I get, I'm especially in a BBM.
- 19:15[SPEAKER_00]: Don't want any uncorrelated unstacked quarterbacks.
- 19:20[SPEAKER_00]: It's just how I play it.
- 19:23[SPEAKER_00]: The thing that's kind of been the trend for bestball over the past couple years is, you know, the stacks were so important.
- 19:30[SPEAKER_00]: Then now I've kind of begun to see some contrarian plays or contrarian takes in that, or amplays in that.
- 19:39[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe the Unstack quarterback is going to give you the edge because it's going to be uncommon.
- 19:44[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's interesting.
- 19:45[SPEAKER_00]: It's just not how I choose to play it.
- 19:49[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I do think I meant to touch base on the Nagi Harris stuff to kind of go along with my Amarian Hampton pick.
- 19:57[SPEAKER_00]: You went one thirteen, which is higher than he's been going because he's been falling into the one twenty's
- 20:05[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know that I would take him before like Ramandra, really.
- 20:13[SPEAKER_00]: Ramandra is probably where I start to think he gets interesting.
- 20:16[SPEAKER_00]: And Ramandra's ADP is like the early one, but he or he won't, one, twenty, seven.
- 20:22[SPEAKER_00]: So I think it's a tough pick at one, thirteen.
- 20:26[SPEAKER_00]: It could certainly work out.
- 20:27[SPEAKER_00]: Um, again, we don't really know a whole lot just yet and there was a lot of random speculation on it.
- 20:34[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so we're just kind of see how that goes.
- 20:37[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, we've got five picks here.
- 20:39[SPEAKER_00]: Let's, no, all right, let's lock back in.
- 20:42[SPEAKER_00]: Let's sand arrows going at seventy six.
- 20:45[SPEAKER_00]: That's going to be our next target.
- 20:47[SPEAKER_00]: So we can probably.
- 20:48[SPEAKER_00]: We want to pull him up to fifty nine.
- 20:51[SPEAKER_00]: We might.
- 20:56[SPEAKER_00]: We might get balls anyway, we might do that.
- 20:58[SPEAKER_00]: I would like to go with, how'd you, it would be nice just to kind of give us another piece of that Falcons offense.
- 21:05[SPEAKER_00]: RB-five would be great.
- 21:07[SPEAKER_00]: It's really nothing happened to be John and she didn't get the lottery.
- 21:12[SPEAKER_00]: Decidators don't want to buy football anymore, take a vacation, get into girlfriend, whatever the case may be.
- 21:17[SPEAKER_00]: It would be really nice contingent upside play to have him here.
- 21:26[SPEAKER_00]: Also like how pets, how pets is in a nigma in the fantasy football space, but we'll go with we'll go with how deer.
- 21:36[SPEAKER_00]: If I didn't go with in joke who earlier, I probably would have forced
- 21:41[SPEAKER_00]: hits there.
- 21:42[SPEAKER_00]: I'm still welling to bet on the talent as the tight end, seventeen, eighteen.
- 21:48[SPEAKER_00]: Is there anybody late that I can?
- 21:51[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be really hard to pass on.
- 21:54[SPEAKER_00]: It'd be really hard to stomach, not getting.
- 22:01[SPEAKER_00]: Not getting samdardled.
- 22:04[SPEAKER_00]: Is that crazy?
- 22:05[SPEAKER_00]: Am I insane for wanting to pull up sanddardled here?
- 22:14[SPEAKER_00]: No risk in our biscuit.
- 22:17[SPEAKER_00]: We'll take, we'll just dominate the Falcons offense and hope and pray to everything holy that we get Sam Donald back.
- 22:30[SPEAKER_00]: Cause I might, ugh.
- 22:35[SPEAKER_00]: I don't, I mean, we could definitely pivot to some sort of late, late round.
- 22:43[SPEAKER_00]: In the stack, take the bet on one of Richardson or Daniel Jones.
- 22:50[SPEAKER_00]: Let's just hope that it doesn't.
- 22:51[SPEAKER_00]: We don't get there, right?
- 22:53[SPEAKER_00]: That would be, I think worst case scenario.
- 22:55[SPEAKER_00]: Let's pull up the board here.

- 24:21[SPEAKER_00]: really good stuff we've got going on over here in sports ethos we've got our fantasy guide out now there was a promo I think or the discount I think it was like forty to sixty percent off which is really incredible not totally sure for still running I'll have to check with the powers that be but just make sure you go check it out even if you don't subscribe there is a portion of all of our articles that is free so maybe you can kind of gain some some insider information there
- 24:51[SPEAKER_00]: We are going to lock in here and hope that I don't get done like that.
- 24:56[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't.
- 24:58[SPEAKER_00]: We're not even going to think about it.
- 25:00[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to run to the board here.
- 25:02[SPEAKER_00]: Not accepting any trade offers.
- 25:04[SPEAKER_00]: Dave Gettelman style with Sake One Barclay at one or two.
- 25:10[SPEAKER_00]: We should have at least answered the phone.
- 25:11[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a Giants fan.
- 25:12[SPEAKER_00]: I can go on that for a while.
- 25:15[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, let's lock back in here, though.
- 25:17[SPEAKER_00]: We've got four hours at this point.
- 25:21[SPEAKER_00]: Is there any running backs that I love here?
- 25:24[SPEAKER_00]: I actually am going to.
- 25:26[SPEAKER_00]: I think he might have went already.
- 25:28[SPEAKER_00]: I probably missed it.
- 25:29[SPEAKER_00]: Here, you might feel about all the other stuff, but Dylan Samson.
- 25:34[SPEAKER_00]: We're, you know, we go down to one of one, seventy.
- 25:35[SPEAKER_00]: We go down was one of my favorite targets.
- 25:38[SPEAKER_00]: So let's see, did Dylan Samson really go?
- 25:39[SPEAKER_00]: Where any?
- 25:41[SPEAKER_00]: It did.
- 25:42[SPEAKER_00]: I missed it.
- 25:43[SPEAKER_00]: Can I miss it?
- 25:44[SPEAKER_00]: I did.
- 25:44[SPEAKER_00]: Damn it.
- 25:45[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
- 25:45[SPEAKER_00]: Now we got a panic, pickin' thirteen seconds.
- 25:48[SPEAKER_00]: Let's go ahead and get
- 25:52[SPEAKER_00]: Third, tight end.
- 25:53[SPEAKER_00]: I think is okay here.
- 25:57[SPEAKER_00]: I'm fine stopping at six receivers if we don't get another one Mason Taylor could end up being, why didn't I miss it?
- 26:05[SPEAKER_00]: And when we'll ship Lee, that's okay.
- 26:07[SPEAKER_00]: We were going to go ahead and get a six running back anyway.
- 26:09[SPEAKER_00]: Those ship Lee's kind of tough though, right?
- 26:13[SPEAKER_00]: Some people love them, some people don't, I don't really love them.
- 26:17[SPEAKER_00]: I guess if anything happens to say, Juan, there's definitely me some value there.
- 26:20[SPEAKER_00]: Man, I really thought I
- 26:23[SPEAKER_00]: I thought I hit the star in time on Mason Taylor.
- 26:28[SPEAKER_00]: That's all right.
- 26:29[SPEAKER_00]: Again, not the end of the world kind of tough in a BBM, but we ride.
- 26:34[SPEAKER_00]: It's the sixteenth round.
- 26:35[SPEAKER_00]: It's not going to not going to kill our draft.
- 26:39[SPEAKER_00]: So we didn't really need a third tight end, but I might grab one.
- 26:44[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to go ahead and queue up.
- 26:49[SPEAKER_00]: Tyler Chuck here, because he's definitely one of our two picks as we're gonna go with three.
- 26:54[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe a nice, three, six, six, three build here.
- 26:58[SPEAKER_00]: Could have worked again.
- 26:59[SPEAKER_00]: We've got Hampton and Alvin Camara as our two top running backs.
- 27:06[SPEAKER_00]: The rookie and the veteran, I think that's probably a fine duo.
- 27:10[SPEAKER_00]: And we've got a lot of contingent upside.
- 27:11[SPEAKER_00]: It was that Charbonet.
- 27:12[SPEAKER_00]: We've seen how much of a beast he can be without Ken Walker.
- 27:16[SPEAKER_00]: Um, he's kind of had a lot of rot.
- 27:18[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of RB one performances in without again, when he's given the opportunity came a scatterbow is going to have a role.
- 27:27[SPEAKER_00]: Um, it just depends on what that role looks like and how how early he earns it.
- 27:32[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and whether that can end up becoming a, a legitimate kind of starting role.
- 27:38[SPEAKER_00]: Um, Tyler Rosier went nice with the
- 27:41[SPEAKER_00]: The Falcon stack.
- 27:43[SPEAKER_00]: Shipily is okay.
- 27:46[SPEAKER_00]: It's fine.
- 27:47[SPEAKER_00]: And then, man, I'm not even going to talk more about our receivers, because I love the room.
- 27:52[SPEAKER_00]: I think we've got a decent tight-end room.
- 27:54[SPEAKER_00]: I would probably will end up adding a third just because in joboos, not necessarily my favorite.
- 28:02[SPEAKER_00]: I could go with a super.
- 28:05[SPEAKER_00]: Saints built an edge on Johnson to continue to stack with.
- 28:10[SPEAKER_00]: with Tyler Schuck.
- 28:12[SPEAKER_00]: See how it plays out.
- 28:13[SPEAKER_00]: I could also just go with my guy, B.O.
- 28:15[SPEAKER_00]: Johnson, has to not go too heavy into what's projected to be probably about offense, although having two giants might also kind of be doing the same thing, especially without their quarterback.
- 28:29[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see.
- 28:29[SPEAKER_00]: We'll just kind of see how things shake out here.
- 28:31[SPEAKER_00]: I'm definitely going to end up taking shock first and just not really mess around.
- 28:39[SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully he makes it.
- 28:40[SPEAKER_00]: I have seen him kind of gets taken in this area of somebody's forcing the same stack drawn Johnson went, so we don't have to worry about that.
- 28:51[SPEAKER_00]: Tyler Ferguson, Tyler Ferguson, what does this do?
- 28:55[SPEAKER_00]: Keenan Allen, I love Keenan Allen in the seventeenth round.
- 28:59[SPEAKER_00]: Once he signs the closing line value there's going to be really good.
- 29:04[SPEAKER_00]: Just because you'll know who to stack him with.
- 29:07[SPEAKER_00]: No, so he's bound to kind of creep up and up.
- 29:10[SPEAKER_00]: But I think he would probably go.
- 29:12[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, where do I think?
- 29:18[SPEAKER_00]: If Keenan were assigned today, team be damned, just like floor team.
- 29:21[SPEAKER_00]: I think he, I would be comfortable taking him and the Hollywood Brown range.
- 29:29[SPEAKER_00]: So like the eleventh, twelfth round, if he goes like a floor situation, which I think would be like Pittsburgh.
- 29:35[SPEAKER_00]: Although if he goes a Pittsburgh, I might end up taking a bit later.
- 29:39[SPEAKER_00]: Um, let's see here.
- 29:41[SPEAKER_00]: We're on the clock now.
- 29:42[SPEAKER_00]: Tamor at home.
- 29:44[SPEAKER_00]: Um, we could go.
- 29:46[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see is, oh, what's his name?
- 29:48[SPEAKER_00]: They're known.
- 29:49[SPEAKER_00]: I have a veil.
- 29:49[SPEAKER_00]: We know what I'm going to do.
- 29:50[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to just go with two tight ends.
- 29:53[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to go with a sneaky seventh receiver, Jalen Coker.
- 29:57[SPEAKER_00]: I think it ended up being the second target there in the second target, earner there in Carolina.
- 30:03[SPEAKER_00]: And it fits nicely with the week, Seventeen correlation with the sea hawks.
- 30:07[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to know that I really got any other correlation for week, Seventeen.
- 30:14[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't.
- 30:17[SPEAKER_00]: That's okay.
- 30:19[SPEAKER_00]: This is working on kind of round out the draft here.
- 30:21[SPEAKER_00]: We'll kind of just run through the team.
- 30:23[SPEAKER_00]: Give a folks the update, kind of chat it up a little bit.
- 30:27[SPEAKER_00]: See if anyone's got any any comments anything going on.
- 30:32[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe run through some slow drafts.
- 30:33[SPEAKER_00]: I've got built up just to kind of talk more ball kind of go through some different builds.
- 30:38[SPEAKER_00]: Alright, so we went went with the three six seven two build.
- 30:42[SPEAKER_00]: Highlighted by my highest home quarterback, my highest exposure quarterback, my Copenics.
- 30:48[SPEAKER_00]: I think the ceiling is just incredible for the Falcons offense.
- 30:52[SPEAKER_00]: I know it was a small sample size.
- 30:54[SPEAKER_00]: Last year with him in those three games, I'm buying it.
- 30:57[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, everything that the Falcons have done from drafting him at
- 31:03[SPEAKER_00]: from drafting him where they did, after signing Kirk Cousins, don't only playing him one series in the first preseason, saying like we've seen enough is due to stud, no need to rescue it, especially coming off of a knee.
- 31:16[SPEAKER_00]: To then riding with him, over Kirk Cousins when their season wasn't completely lost.
- 31:23[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just, I'm gonna buy it.
- 31:26[SPEAKER_00]: We went with Sam Darnold and Tyler Schuck to run out our quarterback room, getting all three stacks.
- 31:31[SPEAKER_00]: We targeted, which is always a plus.
- 31:34[SPEAKER_00]: A running back room goes with Hampton, Kamera, Sharbanay, Skatabow, Tyler Rhodes year will ship Lee.
- 31:41[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to get over that will ship Lee pick that.
- 31:45[SPEAKER_00]: And that's going to bother me.
- 31:46[SPEAKER_00]: That just looks really tough for me.
- 31:48[SPEAKER_00]: Somebody talk me off the ledge of
- 31:52[SPEAKER_00]: the will-distly pit, or the will-of-shiply pick.
- 31:56[SPEAKER_00]: You will not hear me complain about these receivers.
- 31:59[SPEAKER_00]: My own mind.
- 32:00[SPEAKER_00]: Target, earners.
- 32:02[SPEAKER_00]: I'm in raw, same-brown, Drake London, Jackson Smith and Jacoba, Chris O'Lave, all of the absolute wide receiver ones on their team, the first targets on their team.
- 32:15[SPEAKER_00]: They each might see hundred and fifty plus targets.
- 32:18[SPEAKER_00]: This season, so I love that as a four, followed up by Darnell Mooney,
- 32:23[SPEAKER_00]: Again, I don't need to talk more about the Falcons offense.
- 32:27[SPEAKER_00]: Agbuca, I think I talked about him enough.
- 32:29[SPEAKER_00]: Love the upside and coker as a nice little late round.
- 32:34[SPEAKER_00]: But a late round target I highlighted in my article, uh, not with a panther stack per se, but again, like I talked about that week, seventeen correlation.
- 32:41[SPEAKER_00]: I also would like to use some of those picks those late round picks here, just to kind of maximize the, um, just to maximize the ceiling, should I make the playoffs and in the eighteen thrown, I mean,
- 32:53[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not necessarily worried about getting a guy that, I mean, it would be great if Coker, you know, finished as a top twenty four writer, receiver, and entered my lineup in six, seventy nine weeks like that would be incredible, right?
- 33:05[SPEAKER_00]: But for me, and folks have different opinions on this, but for me, if I get two appearances, if I get one appearance from a team's on pick, like I'm pretty good with it, if I get two, I'm a static, if I get three, I feel like a genius, like I hit the lottery.
- 33:23[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and they and our tight ends.
- 33:25[SPEAKER_00]: I don't love them, but we got some nice.
- 33:28[SPEAKER_00]: Um, we have some nice David and Joe Coo value there.
- 33:31[SPEAKER_00]: Um, ten spots live and then Kyle pits.
- 33:35[SPEAKER_00]: Um, if I believe in the Falcons, I believe in Kyle pits and again, the talents there.
- 33:39[SPEAKER_00]: I'll take them.
- 33:40[SPEAKER_00]: Let's take him as a mid-Titan two and see what happens.
- 33:44[SPEAKER_00]: Titan almost kind of doesn't matter too much in best fall at the same time.
- 33:48[SPEAKER_00]: You see teams get by that kind of put up straight up zero some weeks from the Titan position.
- 33:53[SPEAKER_00]: So it's not the end of the world.
- 33:55[SPEAKER_00]: I like the team overall.
- 33:58[SPEAKER_00]: I definitely think it could be a winner.
- 34:00[SPEAKER_00]: Let's go ahead and see.
- 34:02[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know about you guys and this is just kind of like a little fun conversation.
- 34:05[SPEAKER_00]: I am a draft laborer.
- 34:09[SPEAKER_00]: There's one not labeled as I was about to say, label all of them.
- 34:12[SPEAKER_00]: I'll look at that.
- 34:12[SPEAKER_00]: We can take a peek at that one while I label it.
- 34:15[SPEAKER_00]: So the way I generally kind of label them is I just go I'll put I do fast draft the F is fast draft the S is slow draft.
- 34:25[SPEAKER_00]: Kind of but what pick I was at just do I can kind of see.
- 34:29[SPEAKER_00]: So fast draft big ten I stack the falcons the sea hawks and the saints and it's a three six seven two build and that's kind of how I save them.
- 34:43[SPEAKER_00]: Let's take a look at this one.
- 34:45[SPEAKER_00]: See, see what we have going on here.
- 34:48[SPEAKER_00]: I can already tell you it's going to be decent.
- 34:51[SPEAKER_00]: With the quarterback room, I like that press, I like Matt Stapford.
- 34:54[SPEAKER_00]: I think those guys are undervalued, that mid to late quarterback.
- 34:57[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of value there.
- 35:00[SPEAKER_00]: HN at seventeen.
- 35:03[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, in a BBM, we drafted this team before the John O'Trade, which is nice to go with you.
- 35:11[SPEAKER_00]: Tony Pollard.
- 35:12[SPEAKER_00]: This is a nice little running-back room we got here.
- 35:14[SPEAKER_00]: I wonder what the rest of the team looks like.
- 35:16[SPEAKER_00]: Six, seven, two, or two, six, seven, three.
- 35:20[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 35:24[SPEAKER_00]: We had City Lamb, Devante Adams, Jamo, another Chris O'Lave, and a BBM.
- 35:30[SPEAKER_00]: Like the pick.
- 35:32[SPEAKER_00]: Smart man, I am.
- 35:33[SPEAKER_00]: A real-like shitier.
- 35:35[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this is.
- 35:38[SPEAKER_00]: This is a good team.
- 35:40[SPEAKER_00]: If I do say so myself, I might be a little biased.
- 35:42[SPEAKER_00]: Let me know.
- 35:43[SPEAKER_00]: What do you think of this team?
- 35:44[SPEAKER_00]: Are you going to draft your past this team?
- 35:49[SPEAKER_00]: Which is a really cool.
- 35:51[SPEAKER_00]: I guess another little platform where we've got going on by big loaf.
- 35:55[SPEAKER_00]: Um, it's interesting.
- 35:57[SPEAKER_00]: You kind of vote on teams.
- 35:59[SPEAKER_00]: I like to check it out.
- 36:00[SPEAKER_00]: Some, the crowd loved some of my team.
- 36:02[SPEAKER_00]: It was a crowd hate some of my teams, but that's okay.
- 36:04[SPEAKER_00]: That's to be expected.
- 36:06[SPEAKER_00]: Um, all right.
- 36:06[SPEAKER_00]: Let's kind of take a peek here.
- 36:08[SPEAKER_00]: Some of my active drafts.
- 36:09[SPEAKER_00]: We've got going on.
- 36:11[SPEAKER_00]: On the clock and quite a few picks will run through a couple of them, maybe not all of them, but just to kind of see what we've got going on here.
- 36:20[SPEAKER_00]: As you can see, I kind of label some of them, even while I do it, let's go ahead and poke at this one because it's one of my favorite starts.
- 36:28[SPEAKER_00]: I'm labeling these a little different, a little downmations.
- 36:31[SPEAKER_00]: There's a hundred and one.
- 36:33[SPEAKER_00]: off of them, hardy har har a dollar entry.
- 36:37[SPEAKER_00]: I did end up maxing this because I think it's fun lottery tickets and I'm really just kind of I'm using this to to hopefully be right on my takes and I'm really just kind of hammering my guys.
- 36:49[SPEAKER_00]: So we started with neighbors and Drake London.
- 36:57[SPEAKER_00]: Two guys I'm really, really high on.
- 36:59[SPEAKER_00]: We are up here at six o'clock.
- 37:01[SPEAKER_00]: We've got Lamar, Camara, neighbors, London, to San.
- 37:11[SPEAKER_00]: How do we want to?
- 37:12[SPEAKER_00]: How do we want to shake this one out?
- 37:15[SPEAKER_00]: Six E to our next pick is going to end up being at eighty two.
- 37:19[SPEAKER_00]: So, ooh, baby, let's see here.
- 37:26[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm gonna do, but I like my guys.
- 37:27[SPEAKER_00]: This is where, like I said, I'm gonna try to flex my, what I think is my ball knowledge in this tournament and just hammer my guys and we're gonna pull up.
- 37:40[SPEAKER_00]: Ricky Pierce all here, because I think that I just think it's an excellent pick, especially with, like I think I mentioned a little bit earlier at the Juwan Johnson grumblings, I think I called it.
- 37:54[SPEAKER_00]: Who knows what's gonna happen there?
- 37:56[SPEAKER_00]: If he ends up getting moved, I use probably at least gonna miss the first few games, Ricky Pierce all.
- 38:01[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, honestly, I think regardless, even if
- 38:05[SPEAKER_00]: to Juan Jennings remains there.
- 38:06[SPEAKER_00]: I think that honestly, I think this is probably where we'll keep here so I should be going.
- 38:09[SPEAKER_00]: If not, even a little bit higher.
- 38:11[SPEAKER_00]: So let's just try to get ahead of the curve here and take him knowledge him get away here in this draft.
- 38:18[SPEAKER_00]: Let's go ahead and poke on this one a little mystery, unlabeled draft so far.
- 38:24[SPEAKER_00]: What do we think a Travis Hunter?
- 38:26[SPEAKER_00]: First guy here on the board.
- 38:28[SPEAKER_00]: He was going, I think.
- 38:30[SPEAKER_00]: I think what's interesting is don't want you to like the thirties when drafts opened up when the post draft stuff opened up.
- 38:36[SPEAKER_00]: We've got another neighbor's London JS and start set up with flexing my guys and the little in the little domination.
- 38:48[SPEAKER_00]: I think we should probably look for running back at some point here sooner than later.
- 38:54[SPEAKER_00]: But I just don't, I don't know that I'm seeing when I want to take here.
- 38:58[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to end up picking at sixty four.
- 39:00[SPEAKER_00]: It's a couple of options.
- 39:02[SPEAKER_00]: Henderson, I like might be there.
- 39:03[SPEAKER_00]: I don't mind pulling up David Montgomery.
- 39:07[SPEAKER_00]: I'm having him kind of anchor as zero or be ish start.
- 39:11[SPEAKER_00]: Um, as he's, I mean, he's just such a safe pick.
- 39:14[SPEAKER_00]: Um, James Connor, I've kind of been working James Connor in a little bit too.
- 39:20[SPEAKER_00]: Um, he should be a workhorse, but the age kind of, uh, denying injury concerns with payment is a little concerning.
- 39:29[SPEAKER_00]: Not my favorite click on the board, but I think we're just going to kind of be fun.
- 39:34[SPEAKER_00]: I've been picking Travis Hunter in his draft.
- 39:38[SPEAKER_00]: It's ornament a lot.
- 39:39[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll go ahead and make that happen here too.
- 39:43[SPEAKER_00]: And I think the argument here, especially in the fifth round that you'll hear from me at the very least, is that Liam Cohen obviously, a offensive minded coach, worked wonders with Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers down there in Tampa Bay over two years.
- 40:05[SPEAKER_00]: He first year, first year's ahead coach on an offense that needs some work, needs some juice.
- 40:11[SPEAKER_00]: He traded his first round pick next year, plus some other picks to go up to one or two to draft a corner back.
- 40:20[SPEAKER_00]: That just doesn't sound right to me.
- 40:22[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm just going to kind of go with, go with that information.
- 40:27[SPEAKER_00]: Also the fact that he's been working on offense first, which probably isn't a surprise because I think the, the reports on him is that corner was really his better position, at least in college.
- 40:38[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe I'm just off base there.
- 40:41[SPEAKER_00]: But I just, my gut feeling says again, the offense of mine in the coach and his first year that traded up, traded his first round pick next season.
- 40:50[SPEAKER_00]: doesn't put it all the house for a corner Mac.
- 40:53[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm I'm going to go ahead and click a lot of Travis Hunter and in the fifth round, especially as my wide receiver for I think that keeps me pretty insulated in case he's more of a spike week player than someone that's going to contribute every week.
- 41:10[SPEAKER_00]: And that's okay.
- 41:11[SPEAKER_00]: So let's go ahead and look at
- 41:16[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to look at this one.
- 41:17[SPEAKER_00]: As Terry gets not a player, I draft terribly often.
- 41:19[SPEAKER_00]: He's actually kind of had a pretty hard fade on him, but in this tournament, while I want to flex my ball knowledge, I also am just looking for a little different combinations, just because in a hundred and one entries, it doesn't just going to be so many different combinations, and you never know.
- 41:37[SPEAKER_00]: So I did take, I did click Tyreeca couple times here.
- 41:43[SPEAKER_00]: Xavier worthy.
- 41:44[SPEAKER_00]: This is this is a nice little wide receiver room to anchor our B with B John.
- 41:51[SPEAKER_00]: I have.
- 41:53[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so we've got David Montgomery already queued up ready to roll.
- 41:59[SPEAKER_00]: Part of correlate, probably was thinking the correlate with James and Williams was probably my thought.
- 42:04[SPEAKER_00]: When I did that, we could go a nice little Ricky Pierce saw.
- 42:07[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know that he makes it back to me at seventy five.
- 42:11[SPEAKER_00]: I do love him a lot.
- 42:15[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I don't know about y'all, but I'm really not clicking too much sharing duty.
- 42:18[SPEAKER_00]: Um, unless I need a wide receiver and there's just a clear value there, but that's not the case here starting with four.
- 42:26[SPEAKER_00]: Um, three I really like, and I mean, look, Terry can certainly hit like he's still there will be that dude.
- 42:31[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean,
- 42:32[SPEAKER_00]: Well, right there.
- 42:33[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think we're going to kind of go ahead and click on David Montgomery here.
- 42:37[SPEAKER_00]: And then what we're going to do is work our way down and queue up, chair, golf.
- 42:46[SPEAKER_00]: Just to kind of keep that reminder for us that
- 42:50[SPEAKER_00]: Look, we've got the double Detroit kind of don't make any false moves too early unless there's some value and make sure you prioritize kind of right around that right around golf CDP to make sure that we go ahead and get him as well.
- 43:05[SPEAKER_00]: Um, let's look, and again, I just kind of want to focus on the little down, the little donations here.
- 43:12[SPEAKER_00]: Um, we'll go with this, this build.
- 43:15[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, we went with, uh, we started with Devon H. and Brian Thomas Jr.
- 43:22[SPEAKER_00]: in reverse order.
- 43:24[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I talked about fading the commanders, but I do want to get a couple, especially again in a tournament where there's, you know, you get a hundred one entries, um,
- 43:33[SPEAKER_00]: I did max it.
- 43:34[SPEAKER_00]: I know when we don't max the tournaments where there's a lot of entries, but for a buck, one and a lot of skin in this one.
- 43:41[SPEAKER_00]: So I went ahead and especially because Terry McLean has been following, we talked about the contract situation earlier, so no need to belabor the point there, right?
- 43:48[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I think this is probably a pretty fair rain.
- 43:51[SPEAKER_00]: That's probably a pretty fair price for McClellan anyway.
- 43:54[SPEAKER_00]: And then if I take McClellan, I'm going to stack him with Jayden Dangles.
- 43:58[SPEAKER_00]: Um, say, I mean, I do like Jayden Dangles.
- 44:00[SPEAKER_00]: His rushing upside too.
- 44:01[SPEAKER_00]: Um, a long one, which is the fact that the dude is a straight up straight up passer.
- 44:06[SPEAKER_00]: Like he's just, he's so accurate.
- 44:09[SPEAKER_00]: Was in college was last year.
- 44:11[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so we went three running backs here.
- 44:14[SPEAKER_00]: We went, we've got a one, three, six, zero here at the moment.
- 44:18[SPEAKER_00]: So kind of punching tight end.
- 44:21[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see what we end up gathering.
- 44:22[SPEAKER_00]: Is there do I have any stacks I can look out here in this range?
- 44:26[SPEAKER_00]: No.
- 44:26[SPEAKER_00]: No, I don't.
- 44:33[SPEAKER_00]: With that two picks.
- 44:34[SPEAKER_00]: So, maybe we do take Dawn, can Kade.
- 44:37[SPEAKER_00]: I do like that on King Kade.
- 44:42[SPEAKER_00]: Another talented player in what should be.
- 44:43[SPEAKER_00]: Good offense could realistically be the number one target, right?
- 44:46[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you tears there.
- 44:48[SPEAKER_00]: She tears pretty good.
- 44:50[SPEAKER_00]: They signed.
- 44:51[SPEAKER_00]: What's his face, uh, Josh Palmer.
- 44:55[SPEAKER_00]: Um, we can go deep and say a larger more cursing.
- 44:57[SPEAKER_00]: It was still there.
- 44:59[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but I mean, there's there is definitely.
- 45:03[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we'll go ahead and click him, but before we do that, let's go ahead and figure out our second player, just in case we happen in there, there's something a little difference or anyone we can kind of start to correlate a second late stack with.
- 45:16[SPEAKER_00]: And we can think about, um, tight, Trevor Lawrence Wamp.
- 45:22[SPEAKER_00]: I would have been a nice little pick here to stack with Brian Thomas Jr.
- 45:25[SPEAKER_00]: Not.
- 45:29[SPEAKER_00]: Not a ton that I'm seeing we could go ahead and stack running back rooms or stack a running back room with James Connor and trade Benson as well.
- 45:43[SPEAKER_00]: Let me know what you all think about that strategy.
- 45:46[SPEAKER_00]: It's one that I see a lot of folks kind of shy away from because the perceived lack of upside
- 45:57[SPEAKER_00]: But it's one, I kind of lean into it.
- 45:59[SPEAKER_00]: And maybe it's just for the contrarian clay.
- 46:02[SPEAKER_00]: But I don't know.
- 46:04[SPEAKER_00]: I just feel like locking up a high value backfield, which I think.
- 46:10[SPEAKER_00]: Arizona running back room can be I mean, but we've seen James Connor do a lot of things a lot of good things over the past few years.
- 46:19[SPEAKER_00]: Um, with a lot of volume and let me see if.
- 46:24[SPEAKER_00]: Think underdog still let you pull up there.
- 46:27[SPEAKER_00]: They're a little no, yeah, yeah, here it is.
- 46:31[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I mean, look at that.
- 46:32[SPEAKER_00]: I mean,
- 46:34[SPEAKER_00]: That's just so sturdy.
- 46:36[SPEAKER_00]: It's nothing I probably, and it's not like you're three hundred plus point, um, safe on Barclay performances, but like you need these guys, even in Bestball, you need the meat and you need the potatoes, um, to go with the, um, the high flying fireworks, like like Devon a champ or a champ, a chain one day I'll get that right.
- 46:57[SPEAKER_00]: Um, you need that because when when you have
- 47:02[SPEAKER_00]: You know, if you're built strictly on all ceiling, all floor, or all ceiling boom or bust, it's like, there's a couple weeks where like your whole team is gonna, is gonna dud.
- 47:14[SPEAKER_00]: And, and it's, you're just gonna be putting a tough spot trying to make up for during this bike's week, because it's certainly possible, but I feel like those floor players keep you afloat.
- 47:24[SPEAKER_00]: And, yeah, I think we're just gonna kinda go ahead and, and do those two things.
- 47:30[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, because I'm not really worried about forcing a wide receiver here.
- 47:33[SPEAKER_00]: We've got six.
- 47:35[SPEAKER_00]: Um, let's go ahead and get our first tie the end.
- 47:39[SPEAKER_00]: And then go ahead and and lock up.
- 47:42[SPEAKER_00]: Lock up a nice little backfield out there in Arizona.
- 47:46[SPEAKER_00]: And I know Cali Murray's going to take some rushes away.
- 47:48[SPEAKER_00]: Some carries away from them.
- 47:51[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but that's okay.
- 47:53[SPEAKER_00]: Again, we've seen the volume that the corridors are willing to give a running back.
- 47:57[SPEAKER_00]: So
- 48:00[SPEAKER_00]: Excuse me.
- 48:01[SPEAKER_00]: I think that can be really interesting teams.
- 48:03[SPEAKER_00]: Still a really good build.
- 48:05[SPEAKER_00]: Let's take a look at how much time would we have.
- 48:07[SPEAKER_00]: We've been running for fifty five minutes.
- 48:10[SPEAKER_00]: Appreciate you all for staying with us.
- 48:15[SPEAKER_00]: Let's go ahead and do one more.
- 48:17[SPEAKER_00]: And this one's going to be the sake one, Barkley, Jonathan Taylor's start.
- 48:23[SPEAKER_00]: So starting heavy running back.
- 48:26[SPEAKER_00]: We went with a tight end.
- 48:27[SPEAKER_00]: And one of the elite tight ends, that was a nice little kiddo value there.
- 48:32[SPEAKER_00]: I went pierce all at six to eight.
- 48:35[SPEAKER_00]: And as you can see, we've got brought pretty cute up, ready to roll for whenever we get to that end of the draft or that part of the draft.
- 48:46[SPEAKER_00]: I'm probably going to look to take another receiver here unless I want to kind of lean into an RB heavy build and maybe stop at four or five depending on how the rest of it shakes out kind of correlate with the Titans instead of a late stack.
- 49:08[SPEAKER_00]: We could again just stack a fourth receiver knowing how important a wider receiver is.
- 49:12[SPEAKER_00]: Our next pick is at ninety two.
- 49:16[SPEAKER_00]: Let's kind of see.
- 49:18[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think I love the receivers in that range.
- 49:22[SPEAKER_00]: And a more apt to take one of the running backs there and I'd be happy to reach on Travis ETN.
- 49:30[SPEAKER_00]: And ninety two Jordan Mason is interesting.
- 49:36[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what to make of it.
- 49:37[SPEAKER_00]: He could just be the touchdown vulture.
- 49:40[SPEAKER_00]: He could end up taking over for an aging Aaron Jones.
- 49:44[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't really know.
- 49:46[SPEAKER_00]: I think we're going to go out and take one of my guys in Jaden Reed and give us the opportunity to set up a Packer stack because I like the Packers this year.
- 49:59[SPEAKER_00]: It's going on.
- 50:00[SPEAKER_00]: Here we go.
- 50:00[SPEAKER_00]: I like the Packers this year.
- 50:07[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know that anyone receiver is going to dominate.
- 50:09[SPEAKER_00]: I do like read and I'm going to I'm going to take the bet on read out of all of them even though he's the priceiest along with.
- 50:20[SPEAKER_00]: Matthew Golden, the first on a rookie they just took.
- 50:25[SPEAKER_00]: Jena reads in excellent talent.
- 50:26[SPEAKER_00]: He's an excellent receiver.
- 50:29[SPEAKER_00]: The problem is they just don't use him in those three right in those two wide receiver sets.
- 50:35[SPEAKER_00]: But.
- 50:36[SPEAKER_00]: Part of what we do, part of what I do is try to project as well as a lot of us do in the basketball community.
- 50:44[SPEAKER_00]: And just an example, we'll talk about James Cook here for a second.
- 50:48[SPEAKER_00]: Um, it was kind of some rumbling about his ceiling.
- 50:51[SPEAKER_00]: What can it really be?
- 50:53[SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't get the touchdowns, um, Josh Owens or go line back blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 50:58[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
- 50:58[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, opposed a simple question and believe it was my week one preview of last season.
- 51:06[SPEAKER_00]: So right before this season started, when I was talking about the bills and it was talking about James Cook, opposed the question,
- 51:13[SPEAKER_00]: What if the bills give James Cook the goal-line work?
- 51:16[SPEAKER_00]: What if the given some goal-line carries?
- 51:18[SPEAKER_00]: Just what if?
- 51:19[SPEAKER_00]: Just think about it.
- 51:21[SPEAKER_00]: Well, sixteen touch sounds happened.
- 51:25[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's, that's great.
- 51:27[SPEAKER_00]: Now, if anybody was extracting that, if you drafted James Cook, like I was, I was very in on James Cook.
- 51:33[SPEAKER_00]: You look like a genius.
- 51:35[SPEAKER_00]: So one of the questions I'm asking this year about one of these high variants, kind of questionable players is
- 51:45[SPEAKER_00]: What if the packers use January in two wide receiver sets?
- 51:49[SPEAKER_00]: Christian Watson is out and there's been, he's kind of posted some workout videos from running and looks great.
- 51:56[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it was such a late season ACL tear that like, I'm just, I'm not buying it.
- 52:01[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not buying into it.
- 52:04[SPEAKER_00]: Matthew Golden.
- 52:06[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how many people liked him as a prospect.
- 52:09[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know that I loved him.
- 52:11[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of feels like a more just like a pure deep threat.
- 52:17[SPEAKER_00]: But I kind of haven't watched the ton of Matthew Golden tape.
- 52:24[SPEAKER_00]: They'd like to throw him your dobs out there.
- 52:25[SPEAKER_00]: He's kind of just a guy, right?
- 52:31[SPEAKER_00]: So like, I mean, what if Dana read is just the one there while Matthew golden takes a little while to develop or maybe just is is just a role player.
- 52:42[SPEAKER_00]: And again, Dobbs is just kind of mundane.
- 52:47[SPEAKER_00]: Just something to think about.
- 52:50[SPEAKER_00]: And we've kind of hit the hour mark here.
- 52:51[SPEAKER_00]: I appreciate y'all tuning in.
