  All systems go clear. We lived up. What's going on? Everyone,
• 0:36
  Welcome to the ship, a nation NFL Best Ball Playoff show, brought to
• 0:42
  you by our sponsor, Drafters. We're gonna hop on here and do a
• 0:47
  little draft so we can find some pretty big news in terms of the playoff
• 0:51
  best ball stuff. And that's Mark Andrews returning, which is obviously a pretty
• 0:56
  substantial good opportunity to uh take advantage of him being drafted relatively low. Still,
• 1:02
  looks like we're already up, so that's a quick one right out of
• 1:03
  the gate. I just registered. Now we are already going live, so
• 1:08
  we'll have a draft here out of the gate. We just pull this up
• 1:12
  our promo code over at Drafters. You use promo code ship it and you
• 1:18
  get one hundred percent deposit match up to one hundred dollars on your first deposit.
• 1:23
  And this one is looking to fill. So there's like eleven thousand,
• 1:26
  five hundred ish people in it out of thirteen fourteen thousand, somewhere in that
• 1:30
  range. So this should fill by tomorrow afternoon. It's great contest. They
• 1:34
  have other pricing price points as well, and then like some benchmarks you can
• 1:40
  head if you we've pulled up. If you do like twenty drafts, you
• 1:44
  get a free one. If you do fifty, you get a couple free
• 1:46
  ones. I'll check it out in a lot and get you the exact information
• 1:51
  on that after the draft. But yeah, we're already live here with the
• 1:53
  draft and I have the first pick, so that'll make it somewhat interesting.
• 1:57
  I'm sitting at one thirteen right now. My plan is definitely to get to
• 2:02
  the one fifty. So I got a lot of work to do before tomorrow
• 2:07
  at four thirty Eastern. So I'll be doing a lot of drafting this afternoon
• 2:09
  tonight as always, So make sure to head on over drafters dot com.
• 2:15
  Use that promo code ship It gets you one hundred percent deposit match and if
• 2:19
  you want to get in this big boy, it definitely is looking pretty likely
• 2:23
  to fill. So we'll see how this draft goes. We did one on
• 2:28
  on Wednesday, I believe, and if there's an opportunity, if this goes
• 2:30
  quick, maybe we'll hop in and go ahead and do another one. We'll
• 2:34
  see how how it all plays out. So this one's looking to start in
• 2:38
  when we got twenty seconds left, So twenty seconds we'll kind of go through
• 2:42
  and talk talk about the picks, and then at the end kind of do
• 2:45
  a recap and see where everyone's at with their with their teams. Let's see,
• 2:53
  we got two about five seconds left, and I have the first pick.
• 2:58
  I'll be taking Christian McCaffrey. Some people go elsewhere just because I don't
• 3:02
  like the fact he's not playing in the first round. But with this being
• 3:08
  total overall points and not necessarily having to get out of of a potter group,
• 3:14
  I think there's definitely more merit to playing the guys that are on the
• 3:17
  by the forty nine ers guys and the Ravens guys. All right, So
• 3:25
  I went with McCaffrey. Then we go Ceedee Lamb. We will go Lamar
• 3:31
  Jackson, and then this is pretty wide open spot. Yeah, Josh Allen,
• 3:37
  I think it's a great pick there. I mean, in terms of
• 3:39
  the if you have it sorted by ADP, he's pretty far down on Drafters
• 3:44
  just because they opened up their contest way before the playoffs started, and we
• 3:47
  go brock Perty, So the quarterbacks are kind of flying here a little bit.
• 3:51
  We'll see what I'm left with when it gets back. It's one thing
• 3:54
  about having the first take. It takes you a while before it comes back
• 4:00
  to you and you get to pick against a little bit of a break.
• 4:01
  Got Dak Prescott, who I think is a good pick there. So all
• 4:04
  the quarterbacks are flying. Let's see. If I was a nerd city,
• 4:14
  I would probably go. I'd just probably take Pollar here. To be honest
• 4:17
  with you, load up on Dallas, good spot any strategy on skipping a
• 4:24
  position and stacking more others such as tight end. The main strategy here for
• 4:30
  sure is get two teams. You want an AFC team and an NFC team
• 4:32
  if you can. Gives you an opportunity. You hope they meet in the
• 4:35
  super Bowl and then you have all these guys going. Now it's easier said
• 4:40
  than done, obviously, because it is difficult with the draft. You don't
• 4:43
  know what the guy in front of you is going to do. Let's see
• 4:46
  what has happened here, Saint Brown, Deebo Jiggs, you guys have any
• 4:48
  other questions, definitely fire a min in your allianceer them. As the draft
• 4:50
  goes z A Flowers so he's got Lamar and Zay and this guy went to
• 4:57
  CD. I think this is a definitely spot for and go powered. So
• 5:02
  for me here, I'm gonna go one more. Let's see it on my
• 5:06
  phone. Here, I'm gonna go one more, samp Frank guy. I'm
• 5:09
  gonna take kittle here and then I definitely need to start looking at some other
• 5:15
  options. I need, uh, definitely need something on the AFC side.
• 5:23
  I'm gonna take. I haven't done much of this. Actually this is I'm
• 5:28
  gonna do something a little bit different. I'm gonna take my homes here.
• 5:30
  Just because all those quarterbacks went so now I got sant Fran and Casey.
• 5:34
  It might be hard for me to get more KC pieces, but at least
• 5:38
  I have a stable, stable quarterback. They're favored by five. That's another
• 5:43
  good call by Waller. Get some reporter late and draft they. I just
• 5:46
  saw a video before I hopped on here, and I mean he's practicing,
• 5:48
  he's on the field, does have a big brace or something on his knee,
• 5:51
  but it looks like he has a good chance of playing. So I
• 5:55
  think getting Laporta makes a lot of sense. Can we talked about the weather
• 6:00
  factor. I mean, yeah, it's gonna be some bad weather in Buffalo
• 6:02
  this week and case but there's really nothing we can do in terms of these
• 6:05
  best ball drafts, I mean, the main thing is getting your guys,
• 6:09
  your players to advance. Buffalo is in a great spot to advance, and
• 6:12
  no, I think case is favored by it, like up to five ish
• 6:15
  five and a half. But in terms of like the best ball stuff,
• 6:18
  there's really nothing, nothing we can do. I mean, I think it's
• 6:20
  definitely a big downgrade to a team like Miami, you know, going from
• 6:25
  Miami now having to play in k C and bad, bad weather, like
• 6:29
  that's a big issue for them. I mean, it depends on which quarterbacks
• 6:32
  you get, Like if I get one of the big dogs, if I
• 6:34
  get Josh Allen or like Dak Prescott, I'll just leave it at that.
• 6:40
  I mean, because I'm going to need that team to advance. Obviously,
• 6:43
  if you draft Lamar Jackson or perty, you need at least one more.
• 6:46
  I'm not as worried at quarterback, like, yeah, maybe get two.
• 6:49
  I never take more than two though, that's for sure. Kelsey's good.
• 6:54
  That's a late pick, so it gets Kelsey deep right, So no correlation
• 6:59
  with this. I guess to get some Casey now Nerd City is which sucks.
• 7:02
  I took Mahomes and now I'm gonna have naked Mahomes, which is not
• 7:06
  ideal. So that kind of backfirted on me a little bit, no doubt,
• 7:12
  because now I'm gonna have nobody to pair up with Mahomes. Yikes.
• 7:15
  All right, so yeah, it happens time to time. Now I just
• 7:18
  need, man, I'm gonna just need guys that are playing essentially this weekend.
• 7:24
  That's kind of where I'm at. I definitely can't really risk any more
• 7:28
  Baltimore guys. This draft is not gonna be good for me. I mean
• 7:31
  maybe yeah. I mean I often see at the end maybe Justin Watson or
• 7:34
  something like that, but it's definitely not a good set up for your boy.
• 7:38
  At this point, I'm viewing this as the rest of this draft.
• 7:46
  I need guys that are gonna be playing. I mean, I think I
• 7:48
  can probably get some solid Dolphins exposure. That's probably the team I look to
• 7:54
  shift to here in these next picks. I mean, other guys are going
• 7:58
  kind of late. Yes, I'm gonna shift to Miami here and see if
• 8:01
  I can somehow get a good chunk of those guys, which is unfortunate because
• 8:07
  I do have my homes. But again, these drafts aren't always going to
• 8:09
  work out perfect for you. There's just no way, no two ways to
• 8:13
  think about it. So I'll go, uh a, Jane kind of prefer
• 8:18
  him Overmastered a little bit. And then I guess I'm gonna have I don't
• 8:22
  have any wide receivers, give me some waddle and we'll see. So now
• 8:26
  I'm kind of looking sant fran Miami again. Unfortunate that I wasted that pick
• 8:31
  on my homes. But you never know, I mean, you really never
• 8:33
  know. So maybe I do have two tight wide quarterbacks here and go with
• 8:39
  two as well, so we'll see. All right, Brandon Cook, So
• 8:46
  this guy, I like this up here for sure. The problem he's gonna
• 8:50
  run into is so he's got all the Dallas guys. Dallas, he's got
• 8:54
  CD, he's got Pollard, he's got Ferguson Cooks. No Dak Prescott though,
• 8:58
  so he needs some sort of quarterback set up. Got a Cooper Cup
• 9:01
  pick yeah, Dak, Yeah, that's pretty yeah, Dak. Round round
• 9:05
  one, he went to pick number six. Don't necessarily hate it, to
• 9:09
  be honest with you, but he's gonna get no other Dallas. It's like,
• 9:13
  if you're gonna do that, you have to follow up with like Ferguson
• 9:16
  and Cooks, and he just didn't get any of it. So now he's
• 9:18
  gonna have naked Dak. Just a weird draft. So yeah, this guy
• 9:22
  did kind of screw me too, this nerd City because he's the one that's
• 9:24
  loading up on Casey out of nowhere. Now I'm stuck with naked Mahomes.
• 9:28
  But yeah, Dak round one. Yeah, we'll see my boy Dak.
• 9:33
  Yeah that's Zak has treated us well this year, there's no doubt. So
• 9:37
  we've got Kiren Williams here Montgomery, So this guy's kind of now Detroit Casey
• 9:43
  with naked Dak. He's got uh oh wow, that's a wild pick.
• 9:48
  Jordan Wall in the sixth round. He probably could have got him in the
• 9:50
  last round. Very interesting. That's another nice thing about drafters, to be
• 9:56
  honest with you, you do see a lot of novice players. You're doing
• 10:00
  this on the other sites Underdog and DraftKings. I mean, it's hardcore,
• 10:03
  best ball guys that know what they're doing. You don't see some of these
• 10:07
  picks that you see here. That's definitely one thing to note. Cruising along
• 10:13
  Goddard Swift, so we see some Eagle stuff starting to go solid set up
• 10:18
  here, so this guy be handy. I gottaigureut what I'm gonna do.
• 10:22
  But Philly and Buffalo good setup. Now your boy is yeah, So I
• 10:26
  think I'm just gonna complete this Miami thing and call to Day hope, hope
• 10:31
  it works out. So I'm gonna go most hurt. I'm gonna go to
• 10:39
  a We'll see what happens, and then, you know, maybe take a
• 10:41
  look at some other NFC guys. At this point, I just need any
• 10:46
  guys that are gonna get me points in the first round. With having Sam
• 10:50
  friend to San fran guys, I got a mahomes naked. I'll try to
• 10:54
  pair him up later in this draft. Ford goes after Puka goes, this
• 11:01
  guy's got a little he's got Baltimore and he's got some ram stuff. Second
• 11:15
  pick, would you take c D or Lamar? I'm just I've been going
• 11:18
  with c D and a lot of them. I mean, man, the
• 11:22
  upside is just so so massive with him, and it's just a lot cleaner
• 11:26
  when you stack the Dallas stuff to opposed to the Ravens. Now, you
• 11:30
  know, Lamar, I think it's a fine pick at two if you want
• 11:33
  to go there for sure, but you know you definitely need guys that are
• 11:35
  gonna be playing wild Card weekend to kind of go along with them. Kinkaid.
• 11:41
  So Laporta went a little earlier. Uh we see Roddy White go and
• 11:46
  then Justin Watson for no reason in the eighth round. So and that's the
• 11:50
  stuff that's super fucking annoying. Sorry if sorry to swear, but man like,
• 11:54
  why take Justin Watson so early? He was my only chance to Maybe
• 11:56
  he's watching the show. I'm just like, I'm gonna screw I'm gonna screw
• 12:00
  Hoop as much as I can that could be in play here. H Gus
• 12:05
  Edwards. So this guy's a nice setup here Buffalo Philly, and he's got
• 12:11
  the full full throttle thing. So that's h Yeah, he's having himself a
• 12:16
  nice draft, no doubt about that. I'm gonna have to find some donkey
• 12:20
  ass pick here coming back around. Got the Miami thing, I'm gonna have
• 12:28
  trouble finding Casey trying to think of a team where I can get most of
• 12:37
  the pieces. I know what I'm doing when it comes back to me,
• 12:48
  and then I'm gonna have to pivot. All right, I'm gonna go going
• 12:56
  to Mark Andrews here. Actually it works out kind of good maybe, but
• 13:03
  I'm just taking it because I mean, he should be going much much higher
• 13:07
  now that he's essentially returning. Then what else are we gonna do? But
• 13:13
  we need something, We need someone that can get us some points wild Card
• 13:18
  weekend. It's kind of where I'm at and I have to buffer this team
• 13:22
  a little bit. Just play some Nico Collins, maybe get me some points
• 13:26
  in advance. This is the sort of team I just need. Any guys
• 13:30
  that are going to be playing. I got Sam fran Now, I got
• 13:31
  a piece of Baltimore as well. Shakira a good pick. Do you have
• 13:35
  any buffalo? No Buffalo? But Shakira gave Davis out, so he's definitely
• 13:41
  getting a big boost here, at least Wildcard weekend potentially moving forward. I
• 13:46
  guess it seems somewhat serious for gave Davis Odell, Aaron Jones, Jaden Reid
• 14:03
  Again. The code over at Drafters is ship it and get one hundred percent
• 14:05
  to positive bonus up to one. If you do a hundred bucks, you
• 14:11
  get yourself three hundred dollars, which is five drafts and this is starting to
• 14:18
  fill up, should definitely fill by the time these games kick off. All
• 14:26
  right, what else can we do when it gets back? I have one
• 14:28
  idea, and hopefully no one snipes it from me. Do we have enough
• 14:31
  guys? I got two? I got eighteen moster wattele oh Man, So
• 14:37
  okay, I kind of semi screwed myself. I need another tight end that's
• 14:41
  playing this weekend because I have two guys on buy so it's gonna be thin
• 14:45
  for me. Just need to survive essentially round one. That's kind of what
• 14:48
  I'm hoping for at this point. Just go into survival mode. We got
• 14:52
  the quarterback, two quarterbacks playing, that's good. We got two running backs.
• 14:54
  I only have two wide receivers and as of now, I have zero
• 14:58
  tight end, So I need a tight end is playing. That's going to
• 15:01
  be priority one or two. I have one other priority that I want to
• 15:05
  kind of lock in, so I'll be playing from behind for sure with this.
• 15:09
  With this squad, most likely must get lucky, maybe get a hot
• 15:13
  start. Never know, maybe Miami can shot Casey and score a ton of
• 15:18
  points, although that total is pretty darn though. My picks are said as
• 15:28
  long as the doc file take it, and he didn't take my guys,
• 15:31
  so that's good. So the first one I'm gonna do is Schultz. It
• 15:33
  gets me and Nico Collins together. It's a nice little pairing. And then
• 15:39
  I am going to take Elijah Mitchell as well. Comes back to me.
• 15:45
  I definitely man very thin out wide receiver. That is not good. Not
• 15:50
  good. I got Wattle and Nico Collins. That's that's a tough set up
• 15:56
  there, man. That's the hard part about these drafts. You kind of
• 16:00
  especially if you're playing these teams on buys, you're playing the San fran stuff,
• 16:03
  if you're playing the Baltimore stuff, it is difficult. Yeah, it's
• 16:10
  a good point from our our guy mar only deposit one hundred with the promo
• 16:12
  good Ship. It means you buy five lineups and get six for free with
• 16:15
  their match in ten lineup reward. So yeah, when you get to ten,
• 16:19
  you get one extra. So really that one hundred dollars gets you.
• 16:22
  It's at eleven drafts, which would be two hundred and twenty dollars, so
• 16:26
  it's definitely a good deal. No other sites are doing that, yeah,
• 16:30
  I mean that's not ideal strategy. There's no doubt about it. But I
• 16:33
  got screwed kind down the Mahome stuff like, it came back to me.
• 16:37
  All these quarterbacks were going, I have stan fran I wanted something on the
• 16:41
  AFC side. I said, all right, give me Mahomes in the hopes
• 16:45
  that I would be able to get a couple of pieces. I thought i'd
• 16:48
  be able to get at least like Rice or Pachecko. And they all went
• 16:52
  like, Pachecko goes here, Kelsey goes here, Rice goes here, and
• 16:56
  then Watson goes like two or three rounds. I had to wear he and
• 16:59
  typical we've been going. So yeah, it was an unfortunate situation and nothing
• 17:03
  you can really do in those spots. It's just the nature of these drafts.
• 17:07
  That's kind of how it plays out. All right, we need let's
• 17:11
  see where we at. We need a wide receiver. I got two dudes
• 17:15
  going, oh gosh, it's gross. It is gross. It's gross.
• 17:19
  Who's playing tomorrow? We can kind of look to just to get us some
• 17:25
  points in the first round. I'll take George Pickens and kind of, you
• 17:30
  know, take my chances there. So all right, we'll take a look
• 17:33
  at the draft and Again, if you guys do have any strategy questions or
• 17:36
  anything like that, go ahead and fire them in there. This draft kind
• 17:38
  of or the show is gonna go relatively quick because the draft filled up as
• 17:44
  soon as I been live on there, So go ahead and fire some questions.
• 17:47
  I'll go through and talk about these teams. So for me, I
• 17:51
  clearly need, you know, Casey Miami to kind of get there. I
• 17:56
  have Houston, so Houston Miami would work for me. Actually you know Houston
• 18:03
  actually Houston Miami or both in the FC so that won't work, but Sam
• 18:06
  fran Houston, I'd have some some place there. It wasn't a great draft
• 18:08
  for me, there's no doubt, like the Mahomes thing really screwed it up,
• 18:11
  screwed screwed up my draft essentially. That's what I'm trying to say.
• 18:17
  All Right, So my guy, the Doc five, he needs Cleveland.
• 18:19
  He's got Cleveland, Cleveland, Cleveland, Cleveland, and Dallas. Cleveland,
• 18:26
  Dallas is what he's looking at. Joe Flack of seven wide receivers. Wow,
• 18:30
  that's why. Maybe that's why I only have three. Actually makes a
• 18:33
  lot of sense, now why I only have three? I have three wide
• 18:36
  receivers. This guy was taking them right before me every single time. It
• 18:38
  makes a ton of sense. El's one, one zero three. He's got
• 18:44
  buff Baltimore, full Baltimore, so solid squad there. He's got some Rams
• 18:51
  as well, so he's looking for Ravens, Rams and ours Skuy A good
• 18:57
  draft for sure. Behindy so got Buffalo and Philly. It's very clear,
• 19:03
  and he's got a lot of the pieces to both the quarterbacks, running backs
• 19:08
  from each side. Four wide receivers, two tight ends. Very well executed
• 19:15
  draft. Oh right, let's see for All you need is Love. That's
• 19:22
  an interesting name. All he needs it like a song or something. All
• 19:25
  you need is Love sounds like it. But he's all over the place.
• 19:29
  He's got Sam Fran a little bit. He's got Detroit a little bit.
• 19:33
  He's got some Baltimore or some Pittsburgh, some Green Bay, some Tampa.
• 19:37
  Bay's just picking and he likes apparently this team not likely to win, unfortunately,
• 19:42
  but yeah, I mean, these are the type of I don't want
• 19:48
  to say it in a bad way, but these are the type of players
• 19:49
  that screw up people that are trying to draft. You know, two sets
• 19:53
  of teams. It's difficult to draft with with someone that's just willing to take
• 19:59
  at any guy at any point. Nerd City's got Dallas, a lot of
• 20:04
  Dallas. So three wide receivers not the good ones though, and then running
• 20:08
  back, not the good running back. And he was taking all my CAC
• 20:12
  guys. So he needs Dallas KC Dallas case. Yeah, he goes Dallas
• 20:18
  case, he'll have a full squad there. So yeah, that's kind of
• 20:22
  that draft. Like I said, let's go to the lobby, check out
• 20:26
  what we have going on. So I wanted to I mentioned the benchmarks in
• 20:30
  terms of the free draft. So if you do ten, you get a
• 20:33
  free draft. If you do twenty five, you get two more free drafts.
• 20:37
  If you do fifty you get two more free drafts. If you do
• 20:41
  one hundred you get three, and then if you do one hundred and fifty
• 20:45
  you get one hundred and fifty dollars bonus on top of all that stuff to
• 20:48
  go along with it. Sitting at let's see, there's eleven thousand, two
• 20:52
  hundred out of fourteen thousand, so this thing will be filling. I'm assuming
• 20:57
  tomorrow morning ish, I'm going to try to get the rest of my teams,
• 21:00
  and then I got one hundred and twelve. I believe right now,
• 21:03
  I'm going to get to work and continue to draft here throughout the day,
• 21:07
  so throughout the afternoon. So if you're sitting around, want to hop in,
• 21:11
  come and draft with me one last time. I'll pull this up for
• 21:14
  you guys, code ship it Rater one hundred percent deposit bonus up to one
• 21:22
  hundred dollars. If you only want to do twenty bucks, you get a
