Speaker 1: co host for the night. Not even a guest co host,
Speaker 1: the guy who normally co hosts the show with me.
Speaker 1: He is the incomparable Fararell Elliott Farrell. Welcome aboard, my friend.
Speaker 4: How you doing, man? I tell you what, it's just
Speaker 4: you and me to I know Turp.
Speaker 1: Turp is may or may not be joining us tomorrow.
Speaker 1: He will for sure be on Tuesday.
Speaker 4: He likes playing into that fact of the intro because
Speaker 4: no one else is available. He likes he he yeah,
Speaker 4: that's what's going on there. Wow, fokey. But you know,
Speaker 4: as soon as I start missing Terp, I realize I'm
Speaker 4: with the number one broadcast professional of fantasy football in
Speaker 4: the entire United States.
Speaker 1: Well, you'll have to introduce some me. Yeah, you're hilarious, Farrell.
Speaker 1: I want to get to our first guest tonight right
Speaker 1: off the bat. You know him, you love him, You
Speaker 1: follow him on the X at Josh Hayes FX. This
Speaker 1: is a guy who's been with Rotoballer for a long time,
Speaker 1: a guy I've talked with on shows with in the
Speaker 1: past two Here with the f f PC YouTube channel,
Speaker 1: you hear him on Serious Sex and Fantasy Sports Radio
Speaker 1: weekdays from six until seven am Eastern Time. Of course,
Speaker 1: the incomparable Josh Hayes joining us, who is drafting tonight.
Speaker 1: Josh is drafting from the sixth spot. Josh, Good evening
Speaker 1: and welcome.
Speaker 5: How you doing man, How you been bulky? Long time
Speaker 5: no talk, parall, great to talk again. I hope all
Speaker 5: is well, my friend.
Speaker 4: It always is, it is.
Speaker 1: And so we have to talk about your first pick
Speaker 1: right off the top, Josh, because you had the opportunity
Speaker 1: to catch Saquon Barkley falling tonight, you end up going
Speaker 1: with McCaffrey above him, and I think that that there's
Speaker 1: an argument one where the other here. Why I'll let
Speaker 1: you make the McCaffrey argument. Why you thought he'd be
Speaker 1: a better pick in this format than Barkley.
Speaker 4: Great. First of all, I want.
Speaker 5: To shake my fist at Dennis Jones, who just took
Speaker 5: George Kittle. I was literally going to take George Kittle
Speaker 5: in the second round and just go with a Niner
Speaker 5: stack right off the bat. I don't know if this
Speaker 5: is really a thing, but Saquon Barkley owes me for
Speaker 5: going out early on in the season last year, you know,
Speaker 5: coming off the injury, but in all seriousness, has been
Speaker 5: healthy for a while, has looked pretty good in training
Speaker 5: camp so far. Niners by far, far, and away in
Speaker 5: my opinion, and I think this is backed up by
Speaker 5: NFL dot com sharp football analysis. Niners have the easiest
Speaker 5: schedule in football coming into twenty twenty five. There's a
Speaker 5: lot of cupcakes out there, and it feels like with
Speaker 5: all the uncertainty with the wide receivers, they need Christian
Speaker 5: McCaffrey more involved than ever this year with rend and
Speaker 5: a Yuk looks like he's probably gonna get a four
Speaker 5: game you know, opportunity to sit the season on the
Speaker 5: pup list. You have Ricky Pierce banged up, you have
Speaker 5: Juwan Jennings who wants a new contract, who's a little
Speaker 5: bit nicked up as well. George Kittle played a good
Speaker 5: portion of that season injured last year as well. So
Speaker 5: it feels like if there was ever a time for
Speaker 5: them to lean having the run game and to be
Speaker 5: in ahead in a lot of games thanks to the
Speaker 5: strength of schedule, maybe this is the year that we
Speaker 5: get the Christian McCaffrey bounce back.
Speaker 1: The McCaffrey bounce back, I think is reason enough to say, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: obviously we're gonna take him here in the mid first
Speaker 1: round because he could still pay off that in spades.
Speaker 1: But let's let's present the Barkley side of it that
Speaker 1: you know the the usage and you know clearly the
Speaker 1: backs that have had the touch level or the touchmounts
Speaker 1: that he had the year before classically have fallen the
Speaker 1: next year. Whether that's because they were out of their
Speaker 1: gored the previous year, whether it's because it's just natural
Speaker 1: regression whatever. At what point would you start taking Barkley
Speaker 1: in the first round, Josh.
Speaker 5: I would have been comfortable with Barkley right at six. Also,
Speaker 5: I honestly, if I wasn't going to take christ McCaffrey,
Speaker 5: thinking that he's set up for like, you know, full
Speaker 5: on monster season with the amount of volume he's in
Speaker 5: line for, I probably would have leaned Trey McBride or
Speaker 5: Brock Bauers. You know, Rock Bowers is obviously not available
Speaker 5: since he went to but the tight end premium, I
Speaker 5: think it's important, and watching the Cardinals do next to
Speaker 5: nothing to improve the offense. You know, they sat basically
Speaker 5: stood Pat didn't even get another you know, free agent
Speaker 5: wide receiver or anything else like that. It's essentially the
Speaker 5: same offense as last year rolling back here for twenty
Speaker 5: twenty five. So it feels like Trey if I would
Speaker 5: have been a big time opportunity. I also like a
Speaker 5: lot of running backs too, like Derrick Henry coming off
Speaker 5: a monster season last year and he goes mid second round.
Speaker 5: It's almost criminal to have like an MVP type season
Speaker 5: and to see these guys fallow in the second round.
Speaker 5: And then also add to the fact too that there's
Speaker 5: a lot of rookie running backs that have come into
Speaker 5: the draft that a lot of people like. So I
Speaker 5: wouldn't really feel pressure to take Saquon Barkley there, knowing
Speaker 5: that you have some good opportunities with the tight end premium.
Speaker 5: And you know, Ceedee Lamble has been another guy I
Speaker 5: definitely would have gave strong consideration too if he fell
Speaker 5: to me at six.
Speaker 1: So you go with McCaffrey in the first, McConkie in
Speaker 1: the second. My big concern with McConkie this year is
Speaker 1: something that's not really his fault, and I shouldn't say
Speaker 1: it's my big concern with it, Josh, but I think
Speaker 1: about McConkie and how he ended last season and how
Speaker 1: I'm I'm privy to recncy bias as much as the
Speaker 1: next guy, And I think about how much he was
Speaker 1: dominating towards the end of the regular season then obviously
Speaker 1: the postseason as well. And you have Greg Roman there,
Speaker 1: you have Jim Harbaugh and a massively upgraded running back
Speaker 1: room with Najee Harris and Omari and Hampton there. The
Speaker 1: first thing I think of when I see McConkie is like, Oh,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some regression here, because there's no way
Speaker 1: he can keep doing that again. But clearly you believe
Speaker 1: that mccakee soaking a two oh seven pick in into
Speaker 1: him this year in this format, you're still a big
Speaker 1: believer in McConkie having a massive season. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I was a coin flip for between aj Brown lad
Speaker 5: McConkey in my opinion. And you know, I'm so impressed
Speaker 5: with what the Eagles did in their off season. It's
Speaker 5: very I think it's a very good chance too. They
Speaker 5: they may be sitting on a lot of leads again
Speaker 5: this year. Whereas I think the Chargers they really have
Speaker 5: to fight tooth and nail. Everybody in their division got
Speaker 5: better this season, and so like I feel like they're
Speaker 5: just going to be a team that's going to have
Speaker 5: to score a lot of points, you know, and now
Speaker 5: knowing that maybe they have a little bit more stability
Speaker 5: to sustain drives with a better running game with Omar
Speaker 5: and Hampton. Back that up with Najie Harris if he
Speaker 5: ever finishes his audition with Pirates of the Caribbean, you know,
Speaker 5: we'll we'll figure out what happens there. But Trey Harris
Speaker 5: and the rookies that they've added in their wide receiver
Speaker 5: rooms so they don't have to watch Quinton Johnson waste
Speaker 5: drops that cost them drives left and right. I think
Speaker 5: it's a great opportunity. Think the offense is going to
Speaker 5: be better this year, and hopefully that's a good thing for
Speaker 5: lat McConkie.
Speaker 4: The real gift that you gave me tonight was your
Speaker 4: McCaffrey breakdown. I really like your thought process us there,
Speaker 4: and uh, there's no way I would have drafted him
Speaker 4: in front of Barkley, but I really like why you do.
Speaker 4: And then your second round pick. I know there's two
Speaker 4: guys in Illinois and I smiling with pet Dry Larson.
Speaker 4: When they now start with Henry, There's no way they
Speaker 4: thought this Henry. So we'll see. Yeah, it plays out,
Speaker 4: hey man, another pick?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, speaking of Henry Farrell, Lamar Jackson now joining
Speaker 1: the Josh Hayes All Star Team here as McCaffrey McConkie
Speaker 1: are the first two picks. You just take Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: here in the third round, the first quarterback off the board.
Speaker 1: How close is it for you, Josh? When it comes
Speaker 1: to Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Jade and Daniels? How close
Speaker 1: is it for the QB one this year? For for you?
Speaker 1: Clearly it's Jackson, But is that a tight race?
Speaker 4: Is that?
Speaker 1: Is that a small tier for you?
Speaker 5: It's I mean you, I mean they were neck and
Speaker 5: neck for MVP, So obviously you got to give a
Speaker 5: lot of respect to to Josh Allen and that team.
Speaker 5: I think what it comes down to me is the
Speaker 5: division that they're going to play a games, and you
Speaker 5: know all season long, the AFC, eas to me, is
Speaker 5: still significantly weaker than the NFC North. The NFC North
Speaker 5: has three really solid teams. And then maybe Lamar Jackson
Speaker 5: just goes crazy against Cleveland. They have some big games,
Speaker 5: but there are no cupcakes. I think there's gonna be
Speaker 5: shootouts left and right with the Bengals, and uh, you know.
Speaker 4: If you watch.
Speaker 5: How everybody in that division, you know, you wouldn't be
Speaker 5: surprised if any one of them, all three teams made
Speaker 5: the playoffs, if one of them had one of the
Speaker 5: best records in the AFC between you know, Baltimore and Cincinnati,
Speaker 5: especially especially with the season that Joe Burrow came off with.
Speaker 5: So I think that Lamar Jackson, you know, he rolls
Speaker 5: right into another strong offense. I actually love what they've
Speaker 5: done in terms of strengthening the defensive offensive line. It
Speaker 5: feels like they're gonna be a dominant team. And I
Speaker 5: just wanted to since we're only going to really start
Speaker 5: one TV in the Best Ball slim, you can either
Speaker 5: take the shot where you're gonna you know, wait, I've
Speaker 5: done that in a lot of leagues, where you wait
Speaker 5: until round ten, twelve and grab two or three of them.
Speaker 5: I think I'm just gonna end up with three quarterbacks
Speaker 5: and I want the top one. I want to mid
Speaker 5: tier one. Then I want to fly her.
Speaker 1: So so even though you take Lamar Jackson here in
Speaker 1: the third, you still plan on drafting a third quarterback jacket.
Speaker 5: Yeah, in Bestball, where you can't control your roster and
Speaker 5: I have to just sit here and stare at the
Speaker 5: same lineup I drafted the entire rest of the year,
Speaker 5: I kind of think I need that all state insurance.
Speaker 4: You know, in one of these years, Lamar is going
Speaker 4: to enter that tent and he's going to linger a
Speaker 4: little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I would imagine that that is coming down
Speaker 1: the pike. The last thing, Josh, I'll bring up with
Speaker 1: you when you talk about this Bestball slim format, you
Speaker 1: already mentioned it. You start one quarterback twenty rounds. How
Speaker 1: important is it for you to get an elite quarterback
Speaker 1: in this format? Again, no kickers, no defenses, so the
Speaker 1: lineups are a little bit smaller. Is it crucial for you?
Speaker 1: I'd have to go back and look how you've done
Speaker 1: in this contest before and how you've handled the quarterback.
Speaker 1: But is it crucial to try to get one of
Speaker 1: these upper restaurant elite quarterback?
Speaker 5: I think since we're gonna go twenty rounds, it's harder
Speaker 5: for you because I think, honestly speaking, a way at
Speaker 5: quarterback strategy where you stream to qbs and play that
Speaker 5: game is better suited for a waiver wire that's active,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, Because if somebody get gets injured,
Speaker 5: or it doesn't work out, or you need to make
Speaker 5: a trade or something else like, you still have opportunites
Speaker 5: to fix your team. You can't fix this once you drafted.
Speaker 5: So Lamar Jackson is as consistent as steady as it's been.
Speaker 5: He hasn't had an injury, is you for? I think
Speaker 5: two straight seasons now, and this is their Super Bowl run,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean? This is the best team
Speaker 5: that they've ever had on offense and defense in my opinion.
Speaker 5: There So if he was ever going to like get
Speaker 5: revenge for not getting MVP, I think this could be
Speaker 5: the year.
Speaker 1: Roadawaller dot Com check out Josh's work there. Of course,
Speaker 1: listen to him tomorrow morning from six until seven am
Speaker 1: Eastern time Rotoballer Fantasy Sports Radio on Serious X and
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio. It is him, it is real talk raft.
Speaker 1: It is a great show. Make sure you're tuning in
Speaker 1: for that anything else set that I should mention Josh
Speaker 1: before we let you go that you want to know
Speaker 1: that obviously. Josh has fs on X as well.
Speaker 5: Absolutely yeah, And if you have any beard grooming tips,
Speaker 5: send him my way, because you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: I happened here for.
Speaker 1: Oil is always good man. The more oil the better
Speaker 1: because I always feel like it's a lot more manageable.
Speaker 1: I could do more stuff with it. That's That's what
Speaker 1: I'll leave you with, and I'll let you enjoy the
Speaker 1: rest of your draft tonight. Josh has thanks for hopping
Speaker 1: a board, man, Appreciate.
Speaker 4: It, ferl Eric. Always a good pleasure. Appreciate it. You
Speaker 4: got it.
Speaker 1: Josh as some rodaballer ladies and gentlemen hopping a board,
Speaker 1: drafting from the six spots to night. He's coming up
Speaker 1: on his fourth round pick here, Ferrel, I, I don't
Speaker 1: know in all the years we've been doing this, if
Speaker 1: I've asked you if you were in this, how would
Speaker 1: you handle quarterback? Would you try to get one of
Speaker 1: these elite guys early or are you comfortable building up
Speaker 1: with two or three guys in the mid rounds instead?
Speaker 4: It would depend who else is on the board. But
Speaker 4: I like his decision. You know, if you move Barkley
Speaker 4: over here, and you move Henry over there, and you
Speaker 4: move Jack and then you can hammer these wide receivers.
Speaker 4: That's the team I would have put together with given
Speaker 4: the opportunity he had here. But you know, he makes
Speaker 4: a good plan for what he's got going on. I
Speaker 4: think with some of the quarterbacks that I really really
Speaker 4: like Balkey, I could make do with waiting on quarterback,
Speaker 4: but Josh broke it down pretty well. He likes to
Speaker 4: have a star. He likes to have a guy that's
Speaker 4: going to finish somewhere in the middle giving spot games,
Speaker 4: and then he'll take a third quarterback that has some upside.
Speaker 4: But you know, we can get middle round quarterbacks that
Speaker 4: that are going to put up some very significant numbers
Speaker 4: this year. They probably won't be Lamar Jackson numbers, but
Speaker 4: they Yeah. So I tend to think that his plan
Speaker 4: at quarterback is the plan that I would put to
Speaker 4: work in here.
Speaker 1: What about you, Well, here's I'm glad you teed me
Speaker 1: up for this, because I do have some thoughts. I
Speaker 1: was in a KFF Bestball draft. I still am in several,
Speaker 1: but I made a pick in one that launched a
Speaker 1: cut last week. I think I think it was last
Speaker 1: week and I Josh Allen was staring me in the
Speaker 1: face in the third round, and or maybe it was
Speaker 1: a fourth round. I can't remember, but I'm like, God,
Speaker 1: I never take quarterbacks early. Let's have some fun. This
Speaker 1: is supposed to be fun. Let's take a quarterback early
Speaker 1: here and see how this draft turns out. So I
Speaker 1: did it, and I've kind of had buyers or more
Speaker 1: since I've done it. And the reason why for me
Speaker 1: and I hear more and more people talk about this
Speaker 1: in managed leagues. I think it's important to have somewhat
Speaker 1: an elite quarterback, or it's an important thing to have
Speaker 1: a quarterback that is going that you believe is going
Speaker 1: to be elite, that maybe you're drafting outside the top eight.
Speaker 1: In best Ball, it's a little bit different because in Bestball,
Speaker 1: to borrow a quote from Moneyball, you can recreate the
Speaker 1: elite quarterback in the aggregate. So in other words, you
Speaker 1: don't have to draft Lamar Jackson, you have to draft
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Jayden Daniels. You could grab love and Party
Speaker 1: or JJ McCarthy and Jared Goff and maybe, like Josh
Speaker 1: is saying, one more flyer too. And then in best Ball,
Speaker 1: where you're just taking the best possible performance out of
Speaker 1: three guys every week. Sometimes I think that's just as
Speaker 1: good as having the elite guy. Now, you may not
Speaker 1: have the forty plus point weeks that Lamar Jackson and
Speaker 1: Josh Allen give you every now and then, but I
Speaker 1: think in best ball I would lean against it. Manage leagues, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's important to have an elite quarterback, but
Speaker 1: for something like this, I think I'm kind of going
Speaker 1: back to my roots and building up quarterbacks by quantity
Speaker 1: over quality.
Speaker 4: Strength and schedule is probably one of the most overanalyzed
Speaker 4: and over talked about. You know, Josh's commentary about cupcakes.
Speaker 4: Better hold back on that a little bit. But nevertheless,
Speaker 4: if you take a look at golf, the most intriguing
Speaker 4: player to me because when he plays at home, he
Speaker 4: is a different kind of fantasy quarterback. And so if
Speaker 4: you can match those schedules at the home versus away
Speaker 4: with your other quarterbacks, that you could get early and
Speaker 4: I haven't looked at it, but if you can, there's
Speaker 4: maybe an inside track to get more out of golf
Speaker 4: and one other quarterback then you thought you could and
Speaker 4: perhaps challenge if you don't get one of the top
Speaker 4: five guys.
Speaker 1: I think that's important to understand when you're going in,
Speaker 1: when you're going into your draft, right like draft tricks,
Speaker 1: I think for years, I think they still do it.
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but they would have a whole
Speaker 1: piece that they would write up every year. Boat Like,
Speaker 1: if you're looking to pair quarterbacks that are out going
Speaker 1: outside the top of the top ten, here are the
Speaker 1: two guys that match up, or this pair works well together.
Speaker 1: This pair works well together. So that's always something that
Speaker 1: you'd be paying attention to in the scenario.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, look at team five because it's my boys,
Speaker 4: Petreid Larson and I'm not playing any favorites because we've
Speaker 4: got a Kentucky flavor in this throughout with Billy van
Speaker 4: Ormer and a couple of guys that are in here.
Speaker 4: But I'll tell you this. Yeah, you might say that
Speaker 4: this is an old school lineup, but I'm damn that
Speaker 4: school is Harvard. Look at this they are putting together.
Speaker 4: They are putting together one heck of the team, one.
Speaker 1: Of the players, and they take Alvin Kamara here at
Speaker 1: the five oh five. He's one of the players that
Speaker 1: I wish I had more of this year, Farrell. I
Speaker 1: was just reading somebody talking about Kamara today, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: the offense is it's one big question mark. I mean
Speaker 1: they they don't do they have a quarterback? I don't know.
Speaker 1: They have several quarterbacks, which means they probably don't have
Speaker 1: one quarterback again, Tyler Tyler shook. Okay, we'll see and
Speaker 1: and I know he's he's a Louisville guy. And I
Speaker 1: don't want to be smirch any of my Kentucky friends,
Speaker 1: but I want to see it on the field now.
Speaker 1: I have drafted Chuck and a couple of best balls
Speaker 1: for what it's with. But the situation I think is
Speaker 1: on par or maybe a little bit better. With the
Speaker 1: return of Chris O Lobby and Rashid Shiheed this year,
Speaker 1: I think that offense could be better. He couldn't get
Speaker 1: much worse than it was last year. Pharaoh and Camara
Speaker 1: was really really good. And he is still going in
Speaker 1: the fifth round. Yeah. I know he's he's an older
Speaker 1: running back here, but you look at what Pete try
Speaker 1: and Larson have done here. They have cobbled together all
Speaker 1: these old guys, right, all these these these you know,
Speaker 1: we always say this, they are only one person is
Speaker 1: winning anything in this and that's a twenty twenty six
Speaker 1: main event. Farrell has made sure that the runner up
Speaker 1: will get a pair of socks. Yes, if you have that,
Speaker 1: but that's still just the top two teams, right, And
Speaker 1: and so what do you do when you're when you're
Speaker 1: playing for first place and nothing else. You go for
Speaker 1: the young, the young, upside guys, the high volume guys,
Speaker 1: the mystery box guys. We don't know, Well, maybe there's
Speaker 1: some value in trying to win this whole thing by
Speaker 1: taking the guys that, yeah, youth isn't on their side,
Speaker 1: but experience and performance is. Mike Evans, Tyreek Hill, Alvin Kamara,
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. I don't think I put Seedee Lamb in
Speaker 1: that group yet, but those four guys there, I mean,
Speaker 1: there is value in putting all of them together. Now.
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're gonna spice in a couple of rookies
Speaker 1: here as it goes through, But I think as far
Speaker 1: as a core goes and you look at the consistency
Speaker 1: of these players, especially when you consider Evan's coming off
Speaker 1: a quasi down year where he missed some time, Tyreek
Speaker 1: Hill definitely coming off a down year, and you're buying
Speaker 1: up value there too with with just natural positive regression here.
Speaker 1: So I like what Peter and Larson here are doing.
Speaker 1: We'll see what if it continues throughout the sixth round
Speaker 1: and beyond. But yeah, I think you can make a
Speaker 1: strong case that what they're doing is something we don't
Speaker 1: normally see. But it could definitely work.
Speaker 4: It definitely could. And I yeah, so we we've talked
Speaker 4: a lot about them, and let me tell you, they
Speaker 4: got fifteen more rounds and they're gonna they're gonna get
Speaker 4: a mix of younger players and complimentary players in here.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I like where it's going. Peer's it, so
Speaker 4: does the so does the chat room.
Speaker 1: The chat room, Yeah, definitely joking saying Team five drives
Speaker 1: a buick because all the veterans that they have, you
Speaker 1: know they do, Yeah, they might. I want to to
Speaker 1: bring up what Tom Smith, our buddy Tom Smith said
Speaker 1: about Vince staff Alino squad the f FPC Joe drafting
Speaker 1: from the eleven hole tonight. He ends up going with
Speaker 1: genty in the first round. He comes back with Saint
Speaker 1: Brown after Justin Boone goes Nakua and and and a Chan,
Speaker 1: So he gets genty and Saint Brown, Uh, then Smith
Speaker 1: and Jigu Laporta, Waddle and then Judy. So he's got
Speaker 1: a really deep wide receiver corps. Six rounds in, you're
Speaker 1: looking at all those guys being number one receivers with
Speaker 1: the exception of Jalen Wattle. Obviously Laporta is going to
Speaker 1: factor in heavily to UH to what the Lions are
Speaker 1: gonna do this year. But yeah, Vince, this is a
Speaker 1: really good team. And I think if he if he
Speaker 1: pounds the running backs in the middle, that this is
Speaker 1: this is another way to win it too. You're talking
Speaker 1: about veterans from frying Pan and you're talking about heavy
Speaker 1: receiver corps from staff Alino two different ways. And and
Speaker 1: by the way, both these teams then all these players,
Speaker 1: all three of those guys very successful high stakes players.
Speaker 4: You gotta really love Jerry Judy at this spot. If
Speaker 4: Vince calls in, we will have him state the affirmative
Speaker 4: of his romance with Judy, because he's going to see
Speaker 4: a lot of green go off the board. I would
Speaker 4: just fear taking my fourth receiver and Balky. You know,
Speaker 4: I don't like to live in fear, but I would
Speaker 4: just very very hesitant to take my fourth receiver when
Speaker 4: I don't think I'm going to get a score out
Speaker 4: of him. And I'm watching all these these green stickers.
Speaker 4: There's four of them, and we've still got to get
Speaker 4: back all the way through the seventh round, So that
Speaker 4: that troubles me a little. But you know, we'll see
Speaker 4: what Vince can pull.
Speaker 1: The other thing too, when you're talking about his start
Speaker 1: with skipping running backs. Here in the sixth round, he
Speaker 1: takes Judy. I mean, there's an argument that Trevion Henderson
Speaker 1: may not be capital letters Trevion Henderson because of Hermandre
Speaker 1: Stevenson's presence. Obviously, I think we've spent enough time in
Speaker 1: the high stakes Fantasy football hour. But you know, the
Speaker 1: last several months talking about the misgivings, we have the
Speaker 1: the caution that we're exercising when drafting DeAndre Swift. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones is a guy that we like. But then
Speaker 1: they went out and they traded a draft capital to
Speaker 1: get Jordan Mason and they ended up giving him a
Speaker 1: new contract as well. R. J. Harvey was a guy
Speaker 1: that was sky high a couple of months ago. Then JK.
Speaker 1: Dobbins signed, and there's a lot of people down on Harvey.
Speaker 1: So there is something to be said about staph Lina
Speaker 1: saying I don't like any of those running backs, and
Speaker 1: I like the getting this number one receiver and Jerry
Speaker 1: Judy on Cleveland, and that's why he went the way
Speaker 1: he did. Now, we can't get into their minds, but
Speaker 1: I could definitely see that case being presented to Vincent.
Speaker 1: He's like, to heck with it. I'm gonna take a
Speaker 1: guy I want here.
Speaker 4: Well, if he's gonna go to the dance, he's gonna
Speaker 4: have to maybe dance with somebody other than the homecoming
Speaker 4: queen because you know, but but some of these guys.
Speaker 4: If you don't like these guys, why do you see
Speaker 4: what's coming? In seventh and eighth round, Vince bless you.
Speaker 4: We start talking to that kid named Blue down in Dallas.
Speaker 1: I've been getting him a lot in the Kentucky Rookie
Speaker 1: Dynasty drafts, and I don't know if it's just because
Speaker 1: everybody's down with the report on him being lazy or whatever,
Speaker 1: but man, it's I'm on board with him for the price. Now,
Speaker 1: I think there's there's tough to be said for that. Okay,
Speaker 1: three straight tight ends here going in the sixth round,
Speaker 1: we're almost closing it out. Six twelve is where we're
Speaker 1: at right now with Lindo and Kuzmano the FFPC, Joe's
Speaker 1: drafting from the one spot, and Joku to Mauricio Gutierrez,
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram to the Leeches, and then Tucker Kraft to
Speaker 1: Segmund Bloom. So now we've had two teams h Dennis
Speaker 1: and Stephen Jones and Segmund Bloom double up with tight
Speaker 1: ends here Bowers and Kraft for Bloom, Kittle and Kelsey
Speaker 1: for for the Joneses. As Bloom tries to keep up
Speaker 1: with the Joneses with two tight ends of his own.
Speaker 1: This is where I was thinking, it's interesting, Pharaoh, when
Speaker 1: when we have two teams have two tight ends on
Speaker 1: their squad through round six, then I think it starts
Speaker 1: to affect other people where they're like, I might have
Speaker 1: to like pivot off my draft plan a little bit
Speaker 1: just to make sure I don't get shut out here.
Speaker 1: And I'm still getting a guy who is going to
Speaker 1: be drafted as a top twelve guy or a guy
Speaker 1: I think he's going to finish in the top twelve.
Speaker 4: Good smart move, Buddy, good smart move. But boy, you
Speaker 4: know what, when these titians start going, let's start going,
Speaker 4: don't they they do?
Speaker 1: Tom says he was in a big gorilla earlier today
Speaker 1: with with FPI, with large P and Rson.
Speaker 4: How about that. The guys you're out there, get warmed up, buddy.
Speaker 4: They're playing in that gorilla. They intend to win. They've
Speaker 4: got big plans.
Speaker 1: Sean green points out that the the Frying Pan Ink
Speaker 1: guys have now added a player under the edge of
Speaker 1: thirty and R J. Harvey, the rookie running back going
Speaker 1: with They now have old r J. Harvey and new
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: Jill Greeney that.
Speaker 2: R. J.
Speaker 4: Harvey's never even seen a buick. You know, he.
Speaker 1: Doesn't know what a buick yet, no idea. Don't ask
Speaker 1: him what a payphone is. I have an intern at
Speaker 1: my radio stations. He's on my show in the afternoons, Pharrell.
Speaker 1: He's nineteen years old. He had no idea what a
Speaker 1: safety deposit box was never heard of. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that was an age thing. It's just
Speaker 1: how do you not even hear of that?
Speaker 4: It should be in an anime thing. You put the
Speaker 4: stuff in anime.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. I want to get back to the Craft
Speaker 1: pick at six eleven. This is a player that I
Speaker 1: think I'm just starting to warm up to. By osmosis,
Speaker 1: everybody else is telling me that this guy could be
Speaker 1: the Packers number one receiver. Some people are saying is
Speaker 1: a dark horse to finish among the top five and
Speaker 1: tight ends this year. I think that's a little aggressive,
Speaker 1: but certainly I allow for the possibility of that happening.
Speaker 1: I don't know man like. They've been using him in
Speaker 1: training camp. He's been targeted a lot. Jordan Love has
Speaker 1: said that they want to get the ball droom more.
Speaker 1: Maybe I am underrating Tucker Craft. Maybe this is a
Speaker 1: player that I should be looking at harder when when
Speaker 1: I'm drafting as a back end starter or a or
Speaker 1: a top backup tight up. Eleven at the eight o
Speaker 1: nine and the FFPC Bestball Tournament right now is his ADP.
Speaker 1: According to Fantasy Mojo. Fantasymojo dot com, Darren Armani was
Speaker 1: the webmaster. He puts this processus Joe's Challenge together. Every
Speaker 1: time we cite ADP, it's from Fantasymojo dot com. You
Speaker 1: should get a web subscription to that website. If you're
Speaker 1: playing in the FFPC, So I'm starting with long story short.
Speaker 1: I'm warming up the Tucker Craft now and I probably
Speaker 1: need more Tucker Craft in my life.
Speaker 4: Okay, And who picked Mark Andrews in the first round?
Speaker 4: Who's our program?
Speaker 1: That was Brian Lindo and Jeff Cuzmano the f FPC.
Speaker 4: Joe's took. Congratulations guys, and that's what we go back
Speaker 4: to our John Hayes. That would have been a perfect,
Speaker 4: perfect stack. He could have waited on a running back
Speaker 4: and put Andrews in that slot. Andrews and Djoku drafted
Speaker 4: in front of Andrews. There's twenty five to thirty catches
Speaker 4: more for Andrews right there. Ingram could be about the
Speaker 4: same in catches, but Andrews will tear up the end
Speaker 4: zone compared to what Ingram will do and Andrews twenty
Speaker 4: five maybe thirty more balls in craft.
Speaker 1: I uh, I don't know. I mean, yeah, I'm still
Speaker 1: you can obviously see I'm still making up my mind
Speaker 1: on this, Like I just I haven't decided how how
Speaker 1: I feel about this.
Speaker 4: And then what does he have to pay for likely
Speaker 4: to handcuff the position?
Speaker 1: You're not going to handcuff him.
Speaker 4: What do you have to pay for? Likely?
Speaker 1: I mean it wouldn't wouldn't even be worth it, like, okay,
Speaker 1: so if we would you have to pay all right,
Speaker 1: if you want to know the price tag, Pharaoh, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna strongly urge you against this model. Pick up a
Speaker 1: buick instead of Isaiah.
Speaker 4: HARMANI would will tell us he's got the numbers. He's
Speaker 4: actually the guy that runs this event. We're visiting tight.
Speaker 1: End eighteen eleven o eight.
Speaker 4: That's that's a little too much.
Speaker 1: You're Yeah, I just and like I think it almost
Speaker 1: it limits your your upside, right, I mean if I
Speaker 1: if you're trying to win the whole thing, you want
Speaker 1: to get Andrews and then another tight End, who's gonna
Speaker 1: finish in the top ten or top five thing? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I I don't know. Certainly, maybe we'll see somebody do it.
Speaker 1: I just don't know if it's if it's very likely.
Speaker 4: Here, I'm honestly what you did there, Bunky, that's why
Speaker 4: you're such a professional.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: People just you're so good and smooth. People want to
Speaker 4: know what you put in your beard? Man, Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: Okay, So we have a guest coming on he's about
Speaker 1: to be on the clock. What I want to do
Speaker 1: is I want to get by his next two picks
Speaker 1: and then we'll bring him on because I want to
Speaker 1: get his uh, his thoughts on how his his draft
Speaker 1: is going so far. Billy van Rmer from the nine
Speaker 1: spot half FPC Joe one of our favorites. He's got
Speaker 1: McBride and Hampton and then a bunch of other receivers here, Farrell,
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas, Jamison Williams, George Pickens, Calvin Ridley and Ricky
Speaker 1: pearsall plenty of those guys. I don't think there's I
Speaker 1: don't think there's any one of those players that I
Speaker 1: am not on this year. I like all those players.
Speaker 1: And he's probably together a really strong receiver corp here.
Speaker 1: What do you make of the start from b the Oh.
Speaker 4: He's just spent so much time in Kentucky. That's all
Speaker 4: he can do now is draft wide receivers. But yeah,
Speaker 4: okay again, let's start seeing so some of these ugly
Speaker 4: running backs are that are going to fill out these teams.
Speaker 4: But Billy van Ormeer, Yeah, he wants to win this thing,
Speaker 4: so he's coming in a little different and Hampton less
Speaker 4: of a question mark now perhaps in his amount of
Speaker 4: play than that we had earlier in the year. So okay, good,
Speaker 4: And I think Hampton there was a bargain for him
Speaker 4: at this dress spot, yes.
Speaker 1: Or notebook, I'm gonna look it up right now, you know,
Speaker 1: I think compared compared to the other process as Joe's,
Speaker 1: it is a bargain. Running back thirteen at the three
Speaker 1: to oh seven is where he's going in the.
Speaker 4: Flea, you know, all right, Well, he's right on schedule,
Speaker 4: very on schedule.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you make of because this guy's picking
Speaker 1: up steam now. George Pickens as the number two receiver
Speaker 1: in Dallas, a team that should be throwing a lot
Speaker 1: this year. I feel like I was not drafting him
Speaker 1: early on because I didn't see much upside in Pittsburgh,
Speaker 1: and now I wish I had more of them. But
Speaker 1: his priced's gone up. I mean, we see him go
Speaker 1: tonight at the five h nine as a top thirty receiver. Farrell,
Speaker 1: are you in on Pickens this year?
Speaker 4: I am even at this price. I think Pickens is
Speaker 4: a tremendous player that needed a change of scenery. He's
Speaker 4: got it. He's paired in a perfect situation with a
Speaker 4: veteran quarterback. They lamb can't do it all and can't
Speaker 4: get it all. The tight end is good, but he's
Speaker 4: not particularly prolific in this offense. And yes, so I
Speaker 4: very much like this and it's it's it'll be a
Speaker 4: different Pickens that we see this year. And you know,
Speaker 4: I think it's hard to find anyone that doesn't like Pickens.
Speaker 4: And that's why he's headed up to board.
Speaker 1: And there's going to be a running back here, you think,
Speaker 1: so with van Armer is going.
Speaker 4: To take a running backsticks coming.
Speaker 1: This is through seven rounds. We have five receivers on
Speaker 1: this squad, a tight end, and the running back we
Speaker 1: already have. I'm looking at it right now. Twenty seven
Speaker 1: running backs off the board and van Ormer only has one.
Speaker 1: We shall see if he's going to draft one here.
Speaker 1: The longtime FFPC and Kentucky player takes Brian Robinson from
Speaker 1: the commander, So you are right on that Pharaoh. I
Speaker 1: want to bring our next guest on. This is a
Speaker 1: player that I've had on I don't know countless shows,
Speaker 1: and I'll let everybody behind the curtain here a little bit.
Speaker 1: This guy was the only guy to do back to
Speaker 1: back podcast with me and you say, oh, he was on.
Speaker 1: He was on back to back shows or whatever, like
Speaker 1: you know, a week to week. No, I screwed up
Speaker 1: my recording and we it didn't record. So I called him.
Speaker 1: I said, hey, can we can we just do the
Speaker 1: same show we did all over again, and thankfully it
Speaker 1: was only like thirty five or forty minutes. But he
Speaker 1: was a baller and he handled it, and he's on
Speaker 1: with us right now. He was the latest guest on
Speaker 1: the road of his high stakes Lowdown this month and
Speaker 1: longtime FFPC Kentucky player, so many wins I don't even
Speaker 1: know how many to count anymore. He is is on
Speaker 1: x at VC underscore staff. He is the incomparable Vince
Speaker 1: staph Alino. Vince, welcome aboard tonight.
Speaker 4: Can look good?
Speaker 2: Eric, Hey Ferrel, how are you good?
Speaker 1: Doing good?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 1: Doing good? The real question is how are you doing
Speaker 1: in the eleventh spot tonight as we are basically a
Speaker 1: third of the way through your draft.
Speaker 2: Really like the wide receiver depth I've developed there, and
Speaker 2: I like my lion stack with a Moan Laporta and
Speaker 2: running it back with Addison Week seventeen final game in Minnesota.
Speaker 2: So that's that's the game I want to stack for sure.
Speaker 4: I like that. You know, even if they move Addison
Speaker 4: to running back, he's still going to be listed here
Speaker 4: as a receiver. Just boy that out. Yeah about that, Vince,
Speaker 4: what are you gonna do? I mean, Pollard, I like
Speaker 4: that pick. Congratulations on that. I was curious is who
Speaker 4: you were going to end up with? And I agree
Speaker 4: with your draft in a lot of ways that sometimes
Speaker 4: the least important player on a fantasy lineup is this
Speaker 4: number two running back? Is this a trend that we'll
Speaker 4: see moving forward with the Vince staph Alino or is
Speaker 4: this a special thing that you're doing tonight?
Speaker 2: So this is a best ball mentality, wouldn't wait that
Speaker 2: long on my second running back in redraft. Had a
Speaker 2: good pros versus Joe's back in twenty twenty three when
Speaker 2: I won my league and then finished seventh overall, and
Speaker 2: I kind of build a team like this with a
Speaker 2: strong wide receiver in the middle. Jon up at the
Speaker 2: top had some late round gems come through like a Chaan.
Speaker 2: I think I got him in the twelfth and then
Speaker 2: Tank Dell in the eighteenth. So hopefully I find some
Speaker 2: magic like that later in this draft.
Speaker 4: Tonight doesn't surprise me. I'm betting on you. Vince.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, Vince.
Speaker 1: You know the other thing I just noticed about your team,
Speaker 1: and I don't know, maybe you purposely did this or
Speaker 1: purposefully did this, maybe you didn't. You have a lot
Speaker 1: of late round in mid round stacking opportunities here with
Speaker 1: you mentioned Saint Brown and Laporta, but Smith and Jigbook Wattle,
Speaker 1: Judy Addison, I mean, all these guys and you don't
Speaker 1: have any quarterbacks team, and maybe that's that's better because
Speaker 1: now you have all this flexibility, uh to make sure
Speaker 1: you're stacking these guys up. Was was that? Did that
Speaker 1: go into the equation at all? When you're picking these
Speaker 1: guys early on?
Speaker 2: For sure? Yeah, I knew I was gonna wait on quarterback,
Speaker 2: and I think obviously the stacking opportunities are pretty obvious.
Speaker 2: I'm not giving anything away here, but they're guys you
Speaker 2: can get in the double digit rounds, which is great.
Speaker 1: Did you have what was sort of like your thoughts
Speaker 1: when you knew you were drafting in the eleven spot
Speaker 1: between Leoni and Boone? What was your what was your
Speaker 1: you know, thought process on how you thought your first
Speaker 1: few picks were going to go.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I thought Gent would be there for sure.
Speaker 2: I was hoping neighbors maybe, But I think that's kind
Speaker 2: of where it stops McBride. There's no way he's gonna fall.
Speaker 2: I would have loved to have had him for sure. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't think I could take a Chan in the
Speaker 2: first So if he would slipped to two point oh two,
Speaker 2: that would have been nice.
Speaker 1: What was the reason that you like Gens over eight Chans?
Speaker 2: Where's that big chain? Oh?
Speaker 1: I got it, I got it, put it on?
Speaker 4: Here we go? Where is the chain?
Speaker 1: I got it?
Speaker 4: When the when the guest calls an? As for the
Speaker 4: props book, well, in.
Speaker 2: Jail with with Gent, I think he has a chance
Speaker 2: to be the RB one overall, and I don't think
Speaker 2: a Chan does. So it's a little bit that unknown upside.
Speaker 4: What do you say? What do you say to the
Speaker 4: And we had this come up in an earlier show,
Speaker 4: and and I had to bite my tongue. Had nothing
Speaker 4: to do with this player being a raider. But somebody
Speaker 4: in the chat room the other night, and a good
Speaker 4: player said, I think Gend's going to be a bust.
Speaker 1: How yeah, what.
Speaker 4: Circumstances that does not include injury.
Speaker 1: That's that's a tough sell for me. Like I think,
Speaker 1: like if you say he's going to be a bust,
Speaker 1: it kind of depends how high you're taking him. It's
Speaker 1: hard for me. As long as he stays healthy, it's
Speaker 1: hard for me to say that he's not going to
Speaker 1: return late first round value if he gets hurt. Okay,
Speaker 1: well bets are off, Vince, I gotta I gotta ask
Speaker 1: you here, Tyrone, Tracy was the pick that you just
Speaker 1: made at the nine to eleven. Skataboo goes right after
Speaker 1: that to Justin Boone. You had the choice between the
Speaker 1: Giants running backs, you went Tracy over Scataboo.
Speaker 4: Here, Why was that?
Speaker 2: If I was gonna have to have one of the two,
Speaker 2: I take Tracy. I saw some good things last year.
Speaker 2: I was really hoping I'd be able to get both
Speaker 2: double up that backfield. I've done that in a couple
Speaker 2: best balls so far. But Justin was smart enough to
Speaker 2: not let that happen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, such is life. It didn't happen. But what is
Speaker 1: happening is your ten h two pick right now? Three
Speaker 1: running backs, five receivers, a tight end. We just saw
Speaker 1: a round that featured six quarterbacks. Are you going to
Speaker 1: look at that position here?
Speaker 2: I think I have to for my ultimate stack here.
Speaker 1: Laporta, There you go, Saint Brown. Welcome on, Jared Goff
Speaker 1: on the Vince staff Alino squad. Here at the eleven
Speaker 1: hole tonight, Goff, Laporta, and in Saint Brown. I guess
Speaker 1: there's a possibility you could grab another line later on,
Speaker 1: but you know, you don't need to worry about that
Speaker 1: at this point. There are some other stacking opportunities that
Speaker 1: you have here as well. I was reading, or maybe
Speaker 1: I was listening to somebody talk about Laporta and how
Speaker 1: his twenty twenty four was a bit of a letdown
Speaker 1: Vince from twenty twenty three. But sometimes I think we're
Speaker 1: a prisoner of our own expectations. He still had a
Speaker 1: really good year in twenty twenty four, and I think
Speaker 1: he's on for for you know, I guess I'm preaching
Speaker 1: to the converted here, but I think he's on for
Speaker 1: another really good twenty twenty five. Here, you clearly believe
Speaker 1: the same thing. Taking him with the second pick in
Speaker 1: the fourth.
Speaker 2: Round, Yeah, I do. I do too, John Morton taking over.
Speaker 4: Yes, I think they're going to keep I think they're.
Speaker 2: Going to keep business as usual. In my opinion, why
Speaker 2: would they? Why would they break something? Fix something that's
Speaker 2: not broken?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 4: How nervous? Who are you that golf wasn't going to
Speaker 4: come back to you?
Speaker 1: I didn't I yeah, did.
Speaker 4: You say that?
Speaker 2: I probably, I probably could have probably could have waited.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have messed around with Evince. I think you
Speaker 1: did the right thing there. I expect, like you, you
Speaker 1: are invested into into the Detroit Lions here. You obviously
Speaker 1: want to be a business with them. There's no reason
Speaker 1: to uh to needle it with with Jared Goff, I
Speaker 1: think you did the right thing there and getting him.
Speaker 1: What's the over under on suspension for Jordan Addison? Like, like,
Speaker 1: how many I should say over under? How many games
Speaker 1: do you think he gets suspended this year?
Speaker 4: Vince?
Speaker 2: Two to four?
Speaker 1: Two to four? Okay, fair enough and go ahead.
Speaker 2: No, this is a this is a long, a long
Speaker 2: game here, right. I have plenty of people to fill
Speaker 2: in that gap until he comes back from suspension. And
Speaker 2: I think that he's the kind of guy that can
Speaker 2: do you know, one of those two or three TV
Speaker 2: games in the dull and late in the season that
Speaker 2: wins you a week, or wins you the league, or
Speaker 2: maybe wins the overall competition in PBJ vinced you know
Speaker 2: to that end talking about the suspensions, did you consider
Speaker 2: Rashie Rice at all over Jackson Smith and Jigma. I didn't, No,
Speaker 2: I didn't. I like jsn's profile. I wanted a couple
Speaker 2: of high volume PPR receivers and I thought he paired
Speaker 2: well with Saint Brown. I do have the four by
Speaker 2: week eight right there to start the draft. But oh well,
Speaker 2: it's best ball.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's best ball, and and it's total points, and
Speaker 1: it's all about just beating eleven people, which I think
Speaker 1: you definitely have a leg up on doing it. This
Speaker 1: is a strong team that I think nobody is surprised
Speaker 1: that you have drafted and put together so far. Vince,
Speaker 1: I wish you good luck the rest of the way.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for hopping aboard the road of
Speaker 1: his high stakes low down with me a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago. And oh, by the way, just here where
Speaker 1: this interview just never went out to the stream that
Speaker 1: we just did, so I need you the whole thing again.
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. Great first half of the draft. Keep
Speaker 1: it up and we'll see it very soon. We'll see
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas, right, see in Vegas.
Speaker 4: Thanks. Oh, I appreciate hearing from you.
Speaker 2: There you go, all right, guys, take care.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's Vince, Steph Alino. Vince. I should have
Speaker 1: brought this up. He was on, but I know he's
Speaker 1: got to get back to the draft. Vince is a
Speaker 1: big Ohio State fan Pharaoh, and he told me something
Speaker 1: I never heard of, and I'm probably gonna butcher it now,
Speaker 1: but when he was growing up because obviously Ohio State
Speaker 1: and Michigan those fans don't like each other, no, and
Speaker 1: he said something to the effect of it was when
Speaker 1: he was growing up in Columbus and you you'd be
Speaker 1: in the bathroom and you'd flush and like a number two,
Speaker 1: and they always say flush twice because those it's a
Speaker 1: long way for those pipes to get to ann Arbor,
Speaker 1: which I thought was hilarious. When when you're in Columbus
Speaker 1: and it's all about, you know, the rivalry, and this
Speaker 1: is what they're doing to the people, and you.
Speaker 4: Had better material, Bunkie.
Speaker 1: I don't know when Vince sold it to me. I
Speaker 1: thought it was hilarious, and I think it's a delivery
Speaker 1: that you said.
Speaker 4: Probably you should have ask Vince.
Speaker 1: See, this is why I can't do a late night show.
Speaker 1: I would I screw stuff up like this.
Speaker 4: But you can do anything you want. Once Johnny Carson
Speaker 4: asked Audrey Hepburn how old she was? Anybody you have,
Speaker 4: everybody make a mistake on you know, she had the
Speaker 4: best shit, the best response of any woman you've ever heard.
Speaker 4: All Right, he looked at it, and she says, Johnny,
Speaker 4: I'll forgive you for asking, if you'll forgive me for
Speaker 4: not telling.
Speaker 1: Love that was on the tonight show that really happened.
Speaker 1: I really that's fantastic. Berrel Segmund Bloom has cobbled together
Speaker 1: a strong team, some would say quite strong. In the
Speaker 1: YouTube chat right now, if you look at his squad
Speaker 1: from the two hole, you have Mayfield and Mahomes as
Speaker 1: his quarterbacks. He has gotten Jonathan Taylor, Chuba Hubbard, Ramandre
Speaker 1: Stevenson and now Rashad White in his backfield. Receivers are
Speaker 1: a little light Wilson, DeVonta Smith and Jacoby Myers, and
Speaker 1: then he's got Bowers and Craft. I always say, have
Speaker 1: to be weak somewhere and again in the FFPC pros
Speaker 1: versus Joe's any ff PC leagues, you only have to
Speaker 1: start two receivers, so you know it's fine to be
Speaker 1: strong at all these other spots. You just got to
Speaker 1: cobble to the receivers together late. I do agree with
Speaker 1: the YouTube chat. I think this is a very fun team.
Speaker 1: This is a very exciting team. Most of all, it's
Speaker 1: very competitive team.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Wilson is gonna catch a great, great number
Speaker 4: of passes. So I think Wilson probably scores for him
Speaker 4: every week, if not eighty percent of him. So really
Speaker 4: he's just he's got to find that second scorer. And
Speaker 4: if Craft is as good as everyone thinks he is
Speaker 4: going to be, well, what he'll do with Boers will
Speaker 4: be fantastic. So you take Wilson at one hundred, catches
Speaker 4: em Bowers at one hundred and forty with the one
Speaker 4: point five or one hundred and eighty with the one
Speaker 4: point five, before you know it, he's a real threat
Speaker 4: his quarterbacks to go to wait that late and get
Speaker 4: those two guys, he must be crazy, giddy happy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say so, and I'll and the other
Speaker 1: thing too is if you want to you know, utilize
Speaker 1: everything that we're doing tonight bringing to this live looking
Speaker 1: This is the same basically the same format as the
Speaker 1: FFPC Bestball Tournament that you can register for right now
Speaker 1: and win a three hundred thousand dollars grand prize one
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five dollars to enter. We also have
Speaker 1: a super Flex Bestball Tournament, still one hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 1: grand prize, thirty five dollars entry there. For the Best
Speaker 1: Ball Tournament, for the first time ever, we're offering two
Speaker 1: six figure prizes in that the runner up is going
Speaker 1: to get one hundred k this year as well. Draft's
Speaker 1: already off and running at my FFPC dot com m
Speaker 1: y ffpc dot com. What I wanted to get with
Speaker 1: with blooms team is at your insight on Rashad White
Speaker 1: is picking up a little steam. I just draft drafted
Speaker 1: Bucky Irving I think for like the second time, but
Speaker 1: the first time in months today, So I'm excited about that.
Speaker 1: But I also understand Rashad White is a player that
Speaker 1: isn't exactly going away, and if we do see some
Speaker 1: regression in the mean with Irving, doesn't that suggest a
Speaker 1: positive regression for Rashad White Bloom gets him at the
Speaker 1: running back thirty eight in the eleventh round tonight, starting
Speaker 1: to think White's a little bit undervalued? Am I wrong?
Speaker 4: I know you are bulky and then you know so
Speaker 4: and it's part of the stack and it's it's a
Speaker 4: nice it's a nice play in I like it, Mark Twain,
Speaker 4: reports of my death what have been.
Speaker 1: Have been greatly exaggerated, greatly exaggerated.
Speaker 4: Whit You could say that as well about him.
Speaker 1: I am looking at the aces High squad from the
Speaker 1: eighth spot. That is our good buddy Dan Williamson and
Speaker 1: of course our friend Bradley Staalder. They host the Stack
Speaker 1: Hunters podcast on the Player Profiler podcast network. They are
Speaker 1: drafting from the eighth spot tonight, and there is a
Speaker 1: Vikings tinge to this team, as Dan Williamson is a
Speaker 1: big Vikings fan. They get Jefferson in the first round,
Speaker 1: and no surprise that they get JJ McCarthy here in
Speaker 1: the eleventh. I remember the days when I was listening
Speaker 1: to Dan Williamson and reading Dan Williamson and say I
Speaker 1: am getting JJ McCarthy as the number three quarterback on
Speaker 1: all my best ball teams without even really trying, and
Speaker 1: now he is. He has ascended. Now I'm a little
Speaker 1: surprised he lasted as long as he did tonight, but
Speaker 1: he the number two tonight at quarterback nineteen similar to that,
Speaker 1: you know what he was saying earlier on has the
Speaker 1: love gone too far? McCarthy? Are we actually overdrafting him
Speaker 1: right now? Or is this still a spot you want
Speaker 1: to be in business with this quasi rookie quarterback in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4: I don't want it, but I understand why he did,
Speaker 4: and I don't like him paired with Purdy at all.
Speaker 4: So I'll be anxious to see who the third quarterback is.
Speaker 1: But why don't you like the Party, Perry?
Speaker 4: I don't believe you know. It was a significant drop
Speaker 4: off for Party last year, and I think we're going
Speaker 4: to see a bigger drop off. Okay, I just don't.
Speaker 4: I just I'm not particularly impressed with the direction of
Speaker 4: that team. Get McCaffrey back where Caaffrey's going to do
Speaker 4: some wonderful things, But that doesn't necessarily help Perdy hit
Speaker 4: these receivers. There's questions at all the receiver positions. And
Speaker 4: I love Juwan Jennings. I was drafting him in the
Speaker 4: eleventh round as my third and fourth receiver a couple
Speaker 4: of years ago. Somebody's gonna emerge as a number one receiver.
Speaker 4: I don't think I would draft him as a number
Speaker 4: one receiver as much as I like his play, So
Speaker 4: I'm just that's not gonna be the quarterback that I
Speaker 4: wanted to draft.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 1: Our guy Jimmy Williams too in the YouTube chat, points
Speaker 1: out that not only is JJ McCarthy and Justin Jefferson
Speaker 1: on that team, they got TJ. Hockinson on that squad
Speaker 1: as well, So they got a lot of purple stacking
Speaker 1: going on there, especially with Hockinson. So the the tactic
Speaker 1: we have talked about on this show we've done pros ors,
Speaker 1: the jokes for several years now is taking two quarterbacks
Speaker 1: in the top six rounds? What happens if you don't
Speaker 1: do that? For what happens if you take one tight
Speaker 1: end a tight end, not quarterback. If I said quarterback,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but taking two tight ends in the first
Speaker 1: six rounds? What happens if you flip it and you
Speaker 1: taken Djoku in the sixth and Dallas Goddard in the tenth,
Speaker 1: like Mauricio Gutierrez that he's on the clock right now here.
Speaker 1: If you do something like that within Joku and God,
Speaker 1: you can see his whole team there. You feel like
Speaker 1: this sets him up for having four tight ends on
Speaker 1: this squad instead of three.
Speaker 4: I hope so, because I don't care for either of
Speaker 4: those guys and certainly don't like him on the same squad.
Speaker 1: Is it the quarterback situation in Cleveland and then just
Speaker 1: the pecking order in Philadelphia.
Speaker 4: Pecking order in Philadelphia. Availability of the player. I think
Speaker 4: he's a great football player, but a little bit well,
Speaker 4: he's like a poor man's kittle in fantasy football, because
Speaker 4: Kettle is a great football player. But in Fantasy Philly,
Speaker 4: he's asked to do so many things by the forty
Speaker 4: nine Ers, a team Sean Green that I absolutely love.
Speaker 4: He's asked to do so many things as forty nine
Speaker 4: ers that he can sometimes disappear in that offense. I
Speaker 4: know he puts up big numbers. Goddard disappears quite often
Speaker 4: to the Philadelphia offense, and he has a hard time
Speaker 4: staying on the field. It's not a play for me.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the tight ends for Josh
Speaker 1: has a squad specifically John and Smith who just went
Speaker 1: off the board to rot a ball. The rotor ball
Speaker 1: or Hunger can Josh Hayes twelve O seven is where
Speaker 1: Johnnay Smith balls can? I how do you think that
Speaker 1: that situation is going to resolve itself? From a best
Speaker 1: ball season long standpoint? Here between Smith and Friarmouth catching
Speaker 1: balls from Aaron Rodgers this year, Pharrell, so many new
Speaker 1: working parts there. I just don't know what to make
Speaker 1: of it, and I feel like I've just been kind
Speaker 1: of avoiding it for few of the unknown. But maybe
Speaker 1: I should be targeting one of these Pittsburgh guys. What
Speaker 1: do you make a smith here?
Speaker 4: You remember that little funky sowing by Johnny Cash. I've
Speaker 4: built it one piece at a time by putting the
Speaker 4: car together he brought it. There's no there's no synchronicity
Speaker 4: of that Steeler office. Now, maybe all those great veteran
Speaker 4: players come together and it looks beautiful in its execution.
Speaker 4: But I'm I those are two tideas that I respect
Speaker 4: tremendously in the high stakes format that I'm playing in
Speaker 4: this format, I'm okay with it if that's what you
Speaker 4: want to do. But once we put that FFPC entry
Speaker 4: fee down on the table and have to compete. I'm
Speaker 4: thinking that I might want to compete with some other
Speaker 4: tight ends.
Speaker 1: There was one KFFFC Best Ball team and I looked
Speaker 1: at it. I have like, through like sixteen or seventeen rounds,
Speaker 1: fail and then try to do it. I have like
Speaker 1: nine rookies. It's insane. And one of the pairings I
Speaker 1: have for rookies on that team, my top two tight
Speaker 1: ends are the same top two tight ends that Michael
Speaker 1: Leoni has drafted from the ten hole tonight. The two rookies.
Speaker 1: He gets Tyler Warren here in the seventh, he gets
Speaker 1: Colston Lublin here in the ninth. He has kind of
Speaker 1: like sandwiched those picks with Kyler Murray and Caleb Williams.
Speaker 1: So he attacked the receiver and running back position early on,
Speaker 1: and I think there are some electric choices there running back. Now,
Speaker 1: we'll see what he cobbles together here because he's only
Speaker 1: got three running backs through round eleven. But what do
Speaker 1: you make of that strategy? And I'm not saying it
Speaker 1: was a strategy to go out and draft both rookie
Speaker 1: tight ends, but what do you make of having in
Speaker 1: this format your top two tight ends, both being rookies.
Speaker 4: I would trade both those guys for likely Henry and
Speaker 4: maybe even zach Ertz. I don't, I don't understand, uh
Speaker 4: what we expect from those players, especially with Loveland coming
Speaker 4: through that injury situation that he had. And I know
Speaker 4: he's been granted that he's ready to go, but that's
Speaker 4: the kind of injury that you have at a tight end position.
Speaker 4: It could be difficult to play at the level that
Speaker 4: you would want a young player playing that. So I don't,
Speaker 4: I don't know. And who is there with Loveland at
Speaker 4: the other tight end position? Tyler Warren? Tyler Warren, No, No,
Speaker 4: who's a who's a teammate in there in the real team?
Speaker 4: Come out? And Cole Commett? What is co Comett? Du balk?
Speaker 4: You taught me that he did this? Not a Cole
Speaker 4: Comit fan? You won me over. What does co Comit do? Well?
Speaker 1: Just catch his balls? I mean, yeah, he catches some touchdowns. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I think that. You know, the Loveland thing
Speaker 1: is interesting. You know, we'll we'll see how he handles
Speaker 1: training camp going forward, coming off the shoulder. But a
Speaker 1: rookie coming in already has everything stacked up against him.
Speaker 1: You don't want to add an injury onto that as well.
Speaker 1: Now I've been drafting Loveland, so it's it's not like
Speaker 1: I'm running afraid uh from Loveland. But I understand the
Speaker 1: misgivings here.
Speaker 4: You don't live in fear.
Speaker 1: You don't live in fear neither.
Speaker 4: I've got him on the Dynasty teams, and I love
Speaker 4: him as player and love the potential. I just think,
Speaker 4: you know, rookie tied ends are slow cook and you're
Speaker 4: going to be hungry in this uh, in this league
Speaker 4: from game one.
Speaker 1: Mike Leoni is on the clock right now here in
Speaker 1: the thirteenth round. I think we're in Yeah, And he
Speaker 1: just took Luther Burden, and I'm glad he did because
Speaker 1: this goes in with the whole narrative I have for
Speaker 1: his squad right now, Pharaoh. If you look at Leoni's
Speaker 1: squad from established the run at the ten spot tonight,
Speaker 1: it is all young, It is all explosive. You look
Speaker 1: at the quarterbacks, Kyler Murray, who wants to run more
Speaker 1: this year. Caleb Williams, you obviously gets the Ben Johnson upgrade.
Speaker 1: The running backs Brice Hall, a player that I think
Speaker 1: a lot of people are betting on a big year
Speaker 1: for him, and based on what the coaches are saying,
Speaker 1: I think that they're going to lean more into Hall,
Speaker 1: a player that was being drafted in what the top
Speaker 1: five last.
Speaker 4: Year or whatever it was.
Speaker 1: Draveon Henderson, a guy that we were all excited about
Speaker 1: before the NFL Draft, and I think many excuse me,
Speaker 1: many of us still are given where he is and
Speaker 1: he's in an up and coming offense. Bay shell touton
Speaker 1: maybe the most athletic running back in the draft not
Speaker 1: named Ashton Genty. He goes there as well. And then
Speaker 1: the receivers Neighbors and Collins elite target monsters, right, Marvin Harrison,
Speaker 1: who I'm a big fan of as a bounce back
Speaker 1: player this year, pairing with him with Kyler Murray Tteroro McMillan,
Speaker 1: the number one wide receiver kind of drafted in the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five NFL Draft. And then you have Iuku,
Speaker 1: granted is not the youngest guy or the most explosive guy,
Speaker 1: but his value is depressed because of the ACL right,
Speaker 1: and you get him around thirteen. And then Luther Burden,
Speaker 1: one of the first players drafted on Day two of
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft, another explosive playmaker that Oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: he's got his quarterback on this team in Caleb Williams,
Speaker 1: so there's a stack there as well. So Leoni is
Speaker 1: putting together this team of youth and explosion, and I
Speaker 1: think youth and explosion is sort of the traditional way
Speaker 1: to not only win your league and prosers and Joe's,
Speaker 1: but when the whole damn thing as.
Speaker 4: Well, exactly, And then following that narrative, he threw us
Speaker 4: a real.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that.
Speaker 4: That's okay because the balance is a necessity. And I really,
Speaker 4: I really like what I really like what he's doing.
Speaker 4: I can't say I would have done it myself, especially
Speaker 4: we talked about bunching those tight ends and quarterbacks there.
Speaker 4: But you know, he's he's got a lot of talented
Speaker 4: players here. So I'll give him a good job of
Speaker 4: put this game.
Speaker 1: And I'll say this right now, like I if I
Speaker 1: was the only and listen, he's forgotten more about fantasy
Speaker 1: football and I'll ever know, but I will tell you this,
Speaker 1: I might be done with receivers now. At this point.
Speaker 1: He's got seven of them, and of those seven, four
Speaker 1: of them were drafted in the first five rounds, so
Speaker 1: he's very top heavy there. He needs to get more
Speaker 1: guys in the backfield, which I'm sure he's aware of,
Speaker 1: and I would probably get at least one more tight
Speaker 1: end and definitely one more quarterback too. So when you're
Speaker 1: talking about, you know, a quarterback and a tight end,
Speaker 1: soaking up two more spots, maybe another tight end, and
Speaker 1: then you only have three spots left for running backs,
Speaker 1: just to get you six. I think he's kind of
Speaker 1: got the rest of his draft mapped out, at least
Speaker 1: from where I'm sitting my thirty thousand mile view, that's
Speaker 1: where I would be looking to go if I were him.
Speaker 1: But I'm sure he's got something cooked up for us
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a lot of fun. I love the
Speaker 1: quarterbacks for Vince staff Alinos squad. We just talked to
Speaker 1: him about twenty twenty five minutes ago. He got golf.
Speaker 1: He has added Michael Pennix onto this team, another up
Speaker 1: and coming quarterback, and then cam Ward on his squad. Now,
Speaker 1: I thought that there is going to be a possible
Speaker 1: that he would look at a guy like to a
Speaker 1: Tongue by Loa. Maybe Sam Darnold is a third quarterback.
Speaker 1: Tongue by Loa is gone. I don't think he loads
Speaker 1: up with a fourth quarterback anymore. I mean, he's it's
Speaker 1: certainly not going with any of the Cleveland guys as
Speaker 1: far as stacking goes with Smith and Jig will Waddle
Speaker 1: and Judy, but Goff, Pennix and Ward. We don't talk
Speaker 1: a whole lot about Ward, but I think he's going
Speaker 1: to be an exciting player to watch this year and
Speaker 1: for Vince's team here that's his number three quarterback.
Speaker 4: I made an off the cuff comment about Ward the
Speaker 4: other night, which was incorrect and poorly added. Sometimes you
Speaker 4: just got of learned to shut your mouth up book,
Speaker 4: you know, that's for me. But in Ward's case, the
Speaker 4: skillful player that the organization is counting on impressively, I
Speaker 4: think the rookie wide receiver this there. I'd like to
Speaker 4: see if that player makes his way onto Vince's squad
Speaker 4: and see what he's doing. He's going to a late
Speaker 4: stack on those of those Titans, and I kind of
Speaker 4: like it.
Speaker 1: The Uh yeah, that's That's a good thing about about
Speaker 1: drafting a Ward late is because you do have that
Speaker 1: late stacking possibility. FPI has he was the that was
Speaker 1: the team Petra and Larson ended up taking Tongue Bay Loa.
Speaker 1: They've also added Prescott and Matthew Stafford onto that team
Speaker 1: as well Elijah Arroyo and Jake Ferguson. The newly signed
Speaker 1: Jake Ferguson shout out University of Wisconsin, the badger who
Speaker 1: failed to get into the end zone last year but
Speaker 1: still secured the bag. Good on Ferguson to get that money.
Speaker 1: And does that mean anything about how we view his
Speaker 1: role in Dallas this year?
Speaker 4: Farah, it does.
Speaker 1: And this is with the addition of Pickens this year.
Speaker 4: Too, right, And and so I very much like what
Speaker 4: they're doing. I've i've they're two to the number two
Speaker 4: and number three quarterback. I think have always been favorites
Speaker 4: of theirs there, ignoring some of the reports right now
Speaker 4: on Mooney, which I think is the right thing. Arroyo
Speaker 4: is the interesting player to me here, Balky, isn't that
Speaker 4: bargain for Arroyo in the fourteenth round? I thought he was.
Speaker 1: Moving up a little further than that tight end twenty
Speaker 1: five at the fifteen oh three over the way? Wow,
Speaker 1: So they came in, you know, maybe I ought to
Speaker 1: pay more attention to.
Speaker 4: My subscription with Darren's. But Arroyo, I think Arroyo proves
Speaker 4: to be the steal here, and they needed a steal
Speaker 4: and they're gonna need one more, maybe two more tight
Speaker 4: ends so that. I don't know if I correctly answered
Speaker 4: your question, but I really do continue to like. You know,
Speaker 4: we liked everybody through Kamara, and I'm impressed with what
Speaker 4: they're doing here. I think the quarterbacks is going to
Speaker 4: score their points is nationally Prescott. I don't know how
Speaker 4: the other guys are going to contribute, but you could
Speaker 4: see spike games from either of them.
Speaker 1: Mentioned the reports on Darnel Mooney who went to f
Speaker 1: PI here that we're talking about at the eleven o five.
Speaker 1: You think people should be ignoring these about about the
Speaker 1: shoulder injury.
Speaker 4: Not ignoring, but I think we see.
Speaker 1: That not putting too much stock into him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know it's his Uh he's a veteran.
Speaker 4: He's a veteran NFL player, and he's not going to
Speaker 4: be disabled long and uh his comments as Vince made
Speaker 4: a comment on his one player that's going to be suspended.
Speaker 4: You know he's playing the long game here. Mooney. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's that's a fine pick where they got it.
Speaker 1: The squad that we I don't think we've talked about
Speaker 1: Alan al Leach's squad here drafting along with I believe
Speaker 1: Kyle if I'm remembering correctly, I don't want to speak Yeah,
Speaker 1: Albert and Kyle Leach from the from the three spot tonight.
Speaker 1: Uh Bjon Robinson, which apparently do you hear this Farrell
Speaker 1: that we've been It's not Bijon Robinson. It's Bijon Robinson
Speaker 1: Mustard and it's the John Robinson Bucky Irvings. So a
Speaker 1: couple of high volume running backs there in the top
Speaker 1: two rounds. Higgins Worthy Metcalf right after that to fill
Speaker 1: in that wide receiver. He's gotten Evan Ingram, Evan Ingram's
Speaker 1: old teammate, Brenton Strange, and now Theo Johnson. In the
Speaker 1: fifteenth round. Pacheco is part of his backfield. He's got
Speaker 1: Nixon Stroud there, Mims Higgins Downs has been added to
Speaker 1: those guys. To the Leeches squad here. This is an
Speaker 1: interesting team too, where they pound running back and receiver
Speaker 1: early and then just kind of keep spicing, spicing tight end,
Speaker 1: sprinkling tight end through Ingram. In the sixth Strange in
Speaker 1: the twelfth, Johnson in the fifteenth. I think they still
Speaker 1: need one more quarterback, and I think they they in
Speaker 1: my opinion, I think they've got some work to do
Speaker 1: at running back. But maybe I'm wrong on that because
Speaker 1: they are really really top heavy at running back, as
Speaker 1: top heavy as anybody is in this draft.
Speaker 4: Who are we talking about here? I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: This is Alan Kyle Leach from the three spot of
Speaker 1: the Jean Robinson team. Before he answered that, I'll just
Speaker 1: tell you this right now. They're the only team in
Speaker 1: this draft that went running back running back, so ostensibly
Speaker 1: you would think that they're running back duo or their
Speaker 1: top two running backs excuse me, are as good or
Speaker 1: better than anybody else's duo in this draft.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, I love I love their third back as well,
Speaker 4: and kudos on them for a great choice at that point.
Speaker 4: Pitt checko and that's a wonderful thing. I don't know
Speaker 4: if I would have bought into the Tyler, Algeier or
Speaker 4: Allgier pick at that point.
Speaker 1: But you're basically locking up the Falcons running game with Roberts.
Speaker 4: If you Yeah. But I don't think they're going to
Speaker 4: give that ball. I don't think they're going to give
Speaker 4: the ball to Tyler that often, like they did last
Speaker 4: year inside the ten, inside the five. That was disappointing
Speaker 4: for all the Robinson owners, but fair enough, I think
Speaker 4: they need two more run If you have to keep
Speaker 4: picking them straight, it's going to be a pretty good situation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think one more quarterback, two more running backs
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't kill you to get another receiver. But that's
Speaker 1: that's neither here nor there.
Speaker 4: And then I'll tell you what your guy Blue got
Speaker 4: drafted he needed to get drafted, Yeah, and well what
Speaker 4: do you Pharaoh?
Speaker 1: But like my guy Blue, I guess he has been
Speaker 1: as far as dynasty goes. But like, what do you
Speaker 1: make of that Dallas situation? I just keep looking at
Speaker 1: it from the standpoint of like, Okay, they drafted him
Speaker 1: in what the fifth round this year, which is more
Speaker 1: like a fourth round pick given how good and deepness
Speaker 1: class was, and then he's got to beat out Javonte Williams,
Speaker 1: who was not signed for a lot, who Denver was
Speaker 1: more than willing to let go of. And then Miles
Speaker 1: Sanders are basically a bucket of balls. Like it's just
Speaker 1: I don't I don't I see the pathway for Blue.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's fairly clear for me and to get
Speaker 1: him in the thirteenth round. I understand the whole narrative
Speaker 1: about him and let me by the way, I think
Speaker 1: Ben Gritch was reading his Stealing signals today. He pointed
Speaker 1: this out, that report about Jayden Blue being lazy and
Speaker 1: you know he needed a kick in the rear or whatever.
Speaker 1: That report came from a Cowboys coach who hadn't hasn't
Speaker 1: been a Cowboys coach for twenty years. I didn't realize
Speaker 1: he was out of the building that long. And then
Speaker 1: when other coaches, and I guess you would expect this,
Speaker 1: but other coaches, other people around the building were asked
Speaker 1: about this Jade and Blue report, and they all went
Speaker 1: the other way. It's like that's not true at all,
Speaker 1: which you would expect. So I don't know. I just
Speaker 1: I think people are making too much of that. I
Speaker 1: think that I can see Jade and Blue having a
Speaker 1: few pockets where he strings together some good games this year.
Speaker 4: Oh that's that's yeah and what not. And I'm just
Speaker 4: as excited about Bill Merritt because it we talked about
Speaker 4: this Friday night, and I like where he could go.
Speaker 1: In rise he hasn't been has been drafted. I'm surprised
Speaker 1: he han't been drafted. But Billy Billy Van Norman drafts
Speaker 1: Bill Merritt. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And that was a fourth
Speaker 1: straight And look what Bill's doing here too. We talked
Speaker 1: about his running back situation. You correctly made the prediction
Speaker 1: that he would take a running back in the eighth.
Speaker 1: He does with Brian Robinson. But what do all his
Speaker 1: his running backs have in common? Here? I should say
Speaker 1: all of them, but I mean he's got what six
Speaker 1: running backs, and four of them are rookies. Five of
Speaker 1: them are rookies. He's got Hampton, He's got Blue Smith
Speaker 1: and Krossky Merritt, So four out of his six running
Speaker 1: backs are rookies. And sometimes I think that's what you need.
Speaker 1: Like I I often say in Dynasty, you know, these
Speaker 1: a lot of these rookie running backs just red shirt
Speaker 1: for the year. But if you draft a bunch of
Speaker 1: them at the end, when you already have that wide
Speaker 1: receiver corps, these guys can just be good. Like I
Speaker 1: said for Bill Merritt.
Speaker 4: Like everybody agrees that Ray Davis is looking at a
Speaker 4: better year than he had last year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I would think so.
Speaker 4: I mean, just like the regression last year.
Speaker 1: The regression for Cook and and then these guys don't
Speaker 1: have to be smashes, right, They don't have to crush
Speaker 1: it for you all season. They just have to get
Speaker 1: you by a few weeks and sometimes that's enough. He
Speaker 1: adds Joshua Palmer here in the sixteenth round, does Bill
Speaker 1: van Rmer here? I like the Jarquez Hunter pick here
Speaker 1: at the end of the sixteenth round for Lindo and
Speaker 1: Kuzmano at the sixteen twelve to go with their Jacobs, Brown, Mixon,
Speaker 1: Spears and Hunter. Adam Hahn was in the chat earlier
Speaker 1: on YouTube and said Mixon wasn't an auto pick, And
Speaker 1: you know, I look at a running back thirty one
Speaker 1: at the nine to one. Yeah, maybe that's a little
Speaker 1: bit rich based on what we're hearing, but that could
Speaker 1: pay off. Farrell, how have you been handling mixing and drafts.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you this right now. In the FFPC
Speaker 1: Best Ball Tournament over the last three days and this
Speaker 1: is mostly including when this news came out about Mixon
Speaker 1: running back twenty two at the five eleven, they're basically
Speaker 1: getting three rounds of value on him right here. If
Speaker 1: Mixon ends up, you know, playing early on in the season,
Speaker 1: if he doesn't play till October, we might have a problem.
Speaker 4: I have no news on it and no understanding of it,
Speaker 4: but you know, Mixon is a fantastic player who will
Speaker 4: work hard to get back on the field. Injuries don't
Speaker 4: heal on their own. They heal through through effort, through
Speaker 4: the medical staff, through player's mindset. It's not all. Not
Speaker 4: all players heal and handle injury in the same way.
Speaker 4: And Mixon has been a hard nosed player for a
Speaker 4: long time. So that's a that's a risk, especially at
Speaker 4: that draft spot that I'm willing to take.
Speaker 1: Keaton Mitchell is a player that I've been looking at
Speaker 1: later on in my draft singing and Bloom grabs him
Speaker 1: at the seventeen oh two. Do you think there was
Speaker 1: any inkling that if he would have made it to
Speaker 1: Pee Triyan Larsen here at the seventeen at the seventeen
Speaker 1: oh five, that they would have taken him to go
Speaker 1: with Derrick Henry.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is a perfect decision as far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 1: We have not talked about the Joneses squad much. We
Speaker 1: touched on it a little bit from the seventh spot tonight,
Speaker 1: and I want to talk about Dennis and Stephen Jones's
Speaker 1: team fairrely. I know you can't see the top two picks,
Speaker 1: but they have started off Barkley and Kittle and then
Speaker 1: they get Josh Allen. They have the true rainbow start
Speaker 1: where they had one player at each position Barkley, Kittle,
Speaker 1: Allen Adams. They added Kelsey in the in the fifth, Swift,
Speaker 1: Shakir Godwin, Warren Cupp, Herbert Bigsby, Judkins, dealing Otten Sanders,
Speaker 1: Diami Brown. So just gaming all those players off, I
Speaker 1: think that there are well, let me just frame it
Speaker 1: like this. The Jones is picked in the draft night,
Speaker 1: not in order, but they have these guys on their squad,
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley, Travis Kelcey, DeAndre Swift, Chris Godwin, Cooper Cup, Quinn,
Speaker 1: Shawn Judkins. Now, say what you will about those players.
Speaker 1: They're on the list I just made because of either
Speaker 1: age or some other stuff going on, you know, whether
Speaker 1: that's heavy usage, last year, off the field stuff. But
Speaker 1: this is another squad that I think gets it. Like,
Speaker 1: you don't have to agree with all their picks, but
Speaker 1: when you look at what they've done here They've mixed
Speaker 1: in some high volatility guys with some really staty eddies Kittle, now,
Speaker 1: Davonte Adams and uh and And I think that that
Speaker 1: the way that they've cobbled this team together from the middle,
Speaker 1: which is not always easy to do. I like, Like
Speaker 1: I said, I don't like all the picks, but I
Speaker 1: like what they're doing overall.
Speaker 4: Well, he said Pitcher and Larson, we're a buick of
Speaker 4: the draft. This is Grandma's bwick of the draft. But
Speaker 4: but yeah, I'm I understand all these players they're going
Speaker 4: to maybe, you know, in this in this format, maybe
Speaker 4: you handcuff a couple of wide receivers. But all in all,
Speaker 4: I can see how this team I would have done
Speaker 4: it differently. I guess I've got to come with an
Speaker 4: idea of where I would draft Kittle. But you know,
Speaker 4: I love I love their players and what they've done.
Speaker 4: They've got plenty at tight end because of who their
Speaker 4: tight end is. Let's see if they had one more.
Speaker 4: You know, I wish I was looking at the list
Speaker 4: of the valuable players. Some of them are going now.
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of tight ends. I mean, we're
Speaker 1: seeing a bunch of them go off the board here
Speaker 1: thirty four of them. Harold Fannon just went to the
Speaker 1: Vince staff Alino, so thirty four of them are now
Speaker 1: off the board. Tight End pickings are getting slim for sure.
Speaker 1: Moving over to Team twelve, that's Justin Boone with Yahoo
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports, and I think he's really the only team. Well,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about team one. We haven't talked about Lindo
Speaker 1: and Kuzmanos. Well, I guess we kind of did a
Speaker 1: little bit. We have not talked about Justin Boone squad
Speaker 1: at all. The quarterbacks Jaden Daniels, Gino Smith, Jackson, Dart Farrell,
Speaker 1: the running backs Ah Chan, James Connor, Cam Skaddaboo, JK. Dobbins,
Speaker 1: Roshawan Johnson, Jalen Wright. Receivers are Puka Nakula Rashi, Rice
Speaker 1: Roma Dunza and Mecca Abuka, Keon Coleman, Trey Harris. And
Speaker 1: then tight ends are Dalton Kinkaid, chig A Konko and
Speaker 1: Darren Waller. Again, I don't like all these picks, but
Speaker 1: you look at what he's doing here, young and explosive
Speaker 1: Rice Nkua a Chan Daniels is another one too. Odonsay
Speaker 1: King kid who I just read today. I think it
Speaker 1: was a football guys was saying that using some Buffalo
Speaker 1: report that they're throwing downfield more to Kinkaid this year
Speaker 1: than they have the first two years, and like, this
Speaker 1: is what we wanted, this is what they should have drafted.
Speaker 1: They drafted him, they should have been doing this all one.
Speaker 1: I'm glad to see it at Buka, who everybody loves
Speaker 1: right now, Cam skatabooy the young uh running back in
Speaker 1: New York. You got Coleman, Trey Harris, another rookie and
Speaker 1: so and then obviously that the the age like a
Speaker 1: fine wine with a Conko and Waller to go with Kinkaid.
Speaker 1: So question marks at tight end. Yes, I I don't
Speaker 1: think it's the safest group in the world. I think
Speaker 1: running back, we'll see if it comes through. I think
Speaker 1: he's a little weak there. I think the receivers are fine.
Speaker 1: He's got Rice and you're gonna have to count on
Speaker 1: o'doonsay and Buka and Coleman to get you through those
Speaker 1: weeks when when Rice is you know, essentially unavailable. We
Speaker 1: think he's going to be suspended. But but you know,
Speaker 1: getting that Jade and Daniels thing, that's kind of a panacea.
Speaker 1: It kind of heres all. So, not my favorite team
Speaker 1: from Justin and he'll be on the Insider Access show
Speaker 1: with me on the Better Sports Network coming up next month.
Speaker 1: Very excited for that. It's not my favorite team in
Speaker 1: the world, but I get what he's doing here and
Speaker 1: sometimes real it's difficult to draft on the end.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he's drafting a lot of players that we've
Speaker 4: talked about, and I'm sure that he's talked about and
Speaker 4: when they when you know, when they reside in the
Speaker 4: very very front of your head and the end the
Speaker 4: tip of your the tip of your tongue, you're going
Speaker 4: to go out and pull that trigger on some of them.
Speaker 4: And I don't necessarily like this team either it and
Speaker 4: I've seeing that he has two quarterbacks. Is that's the
Speaker 4: correct number?
Speaker 1: Three? He's got Daniels, Gino Smith, and jo.
Speaker 4: I didn't see Daniels yet. I scrolled down.
Speaker 1: I scrolled down.
Speaker 4: I feel a little better about that. And I took
Speaker 4: the cap to him of taking a flyer on Waller
Speaker 4: and the thought that Dart will see some meaningful time,
Speaker 4: especially towards the end of the season. So I like
Speaker 4: what he's doing in the back half of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the back half looks strong. People. I think people
Speaker 1: Jalen Wright is starting to pick up a little bit
Speaker 1: of steam right now. And we'll see with Roshawn Johnson.
Speaker 1: But if you don't like Swift, I think you probably
Speaker 1: should like Johnson where he's going right now as well.
Speaker 1: What do you make of this Harold fannin pick that
Speaker 1: Vince took Vince Staphelino took from the eleven spot in
Speaker 1: the eighteenth round. Is Fannon going to have redraft value
Speaker 1: this year behind David and Joku? He caught a billion
Speaker 1: passes last year? Does that continue right away his rookie
Speaker 1: year in the NFL?
Speaker 4: I don't know. Bowling Green Falcon to the NFL, I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 4: there's some very very good players that come out of
Speaker 4: that program. They're getting better every year. I like the player.
Speaker 4: Count on him in this format. He would be my
Speaker 4: tight end four. But you know he's you know, he's
Speaker 4: he lives in Vince's world, So that's good enough for me.
Speaker 4: We'll see how he does. I'm rooting for the player,
Speaker 4: I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1: Speaking of young tight end, Sigmund Bloom grabbed another one here.
Speaker 1: We have Brock Bauers, Tucker Craft early on for Bloom
Speaker 1: and now he's added Jatavian Sanders, a young breakout type
Speaker 1: guy in Carolina, and then Ronda Gadston parall that people
Speaker 1: are talking up in Los Angeles right now. Yeah, Tyler
Speaker 1: Conklin's there, but we kind of know what Tyler Conklin is.
Speaker 1: We don't know what Gadsden is and with the players,
Speaker 1: we don't know what they are. Those are the players
Speaker 1: I want to draft late. I know it's best ball
Speaker 1: and he's on your team all year. You can't make
Speaker 1: any changes. But eighteenth round tight end thirty seven with Gadston,
Speaker 1: even already having Bowers, Craft and Sanders, I think that's
Speaker 1: a fun player to take a chance on here.
Speaker 4: I think it is too. I like Gadsden's I like
Speaker 4: his history, his proverbial bloodlines is being coming from a
Speaker 4: football family, and based on who else is left, I'm
Speaker 4: willing to I'm willing to go with that. I like
Speaker 4: him better than Coughlin and Higbee, who we've seen their
Speaker 4: best efforts for Fantasy football, good football players, but we've
Speaker 4: seen their best numbers in past games.
Speaker 1: Noah Gray has now been the latest selection for Billy
Speaker 1: Van Ormer. Here in the nineteenth round, Noah Gray joins
Speaker 1: a tight end room with Team van Ormer featuring Trey
Speaker 1: McBride and Isaiah Likely. This is an interesting pick. Do
Speaker 1: you think what kind of role does Gray have? Are
Speaker 1: we going to see him potentially take over the tight
Speaker 1: end position us for Kelsey this year?
Speaker 4: Kelsey would have to be injured twice because he would
Speaker 4: play hurt, So he'll play hurt in front of Gray.
Speaker 4: So no, I don't think Noah Gray can it can
Speaker 4: help Billy van Ormer's team. And Aba you said, if
Speaker 4: you want a third tight end, who's it gonna be?
Speaker 4: You know so? And he loves, you know, he just
Speaker 4: loves drafting these receivers. He's he's going a little old
Speaker 4: on us with Palmer and Slayton, those guys can still
Speaker 4: have big contributing games. But Noah Gray, I think we
Speaker 4: could have done something else.
Speaker 1: You know, I had been drafting as like a wide
Speaker 1: receiver five and a lot of KFFFC drafts.
Speaker 4: I was in.
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen and it was it was based on the
Speaker 1: advice that I had gotten from Dan Williamson listing the
Speaker 1: stack hunters and reading what he's doing for player profiler
Speaker 1: and no surprise tonight, Pharaoh. Look who grabs Keenan Allen
Speaker 1: here in the eighteenth round. It's the stack Hunters, It's
Speaker 1: Dan Williamson, it's Bradley Stallder and they draft him there.
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen's gonna find his way in an NFL team
Speaker 1: this season.
Speaker 4: Right, Oh? Sure, I would think so hey.
Speaker 1: It may not happen till after the start of the season.
Speaker 4: Though, yeah, I would think so Hey. Remember we talked
Speaker 4: about who Vince might continue his Titans stack with, and
Speaker 4: he's gone out there and done it.
Speaker 1: He got Cameron Ward in the fourteenth round, and he's
Speaker 1: added elick Iam Manner here in the nineteenth the rookie
Speaker 1: receiver from Stanford who joins. Kind of an interesting wide
Speaker 1: receiver corp there.
Speaker 4: Pharrell.
Speaker 1: Obviously Calvin Ridley is the number one, but they utilized
Speaker 1: draft capital on both Ia Manner and then they got
Speaker 1: the former Badger Shamir d k On on Day three,
Speaker 1: he of the Florida Gators. Now he's added onto that squad.
Speaker 1: They've signed Tyler Lockett, who I'm not convinced makes the team,
Speaker 1: but I could be wrong on that. But that Titans
Speaker 1: passing I mentioned cam Ward is a fun guy because
Speaker 1: of how much he pushes the ball down the field,
Speaker 1: and there could be a lot of yolo passes there
Speaker 1: this year in Tennessee. With them not being expected to
Speaker 1: contend for the playoffs or the super Bowl or anything
Speaker 1: like that. It's not the most exciting receiver corps, but
Speaker 1: it could be some exciting receiver performances there this year
Speaker 1: because of cam Warton.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and everything's new there, so why not go with
Speaker 4: the young player there that that would have some upside
Speaker 4: with this rookie quarterback, This's gonna be a fun team
Speaker 4: to watch. They've got a match up me and old
Speaker 4: buddy j R. Finton or thinking about a trip Titans
Speaker 4: versus Raiders in Las Vegas. It would be an interesting
Speaker 4: team to watch live.
Speaker 1: Speaking of said Raiders, Pharrell as I'm still wearing my
Speaker 1: chain here tonight.
Speaker 4: We should. You should wear it everywhere, bulky it becomes you.
Speaker 1: I sleep in it at night. The Deontay Dante Thornton
Speaker 1: pick here in the nineteenth round by Williamson installeder is
Speaker 1: this a thing? I mean? I remember it was like
Speaker 1: a month ago everybody was talking about like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: he's running ahead of Jack Bash and Me camps for whatever.
Speaker 1: Should should we still be paying attention to Thornton and
Speaker 1: and and Just so all the viewers are aware, I'm
Speaker 1: asking maybe the president of the Trey Tucker Fan Club too.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think that you definitely should be adding this player.
Speaker 4: And I think that you've got you've got a challenge
Speaker 4: in front of you with so much draft capital on
Speaker 4: their first three Fantasy Raiders. But this player could have
Speaker 4: a couple of spike games. He's got an unusual skill
Speaker 4: set and he'll have it because defenses decided to try
Speaker 4: to take away some of these other players. I don't
Speaker 4: think they've been successful at that, and sometimes when that happens,
Speaker 4: a guy like this can run free all over the
Speaker 4: field and he's a good ball catcher. The top end
Speaker 4: of his routes are really good. Skinny post is his
Speaker 4: best pattern. I like him, Ferrel.
Speaker 1: I want to close with this tonight, as we are
Speaker 1: only three picks away from this draft being done. Who
Speaker 1: was your favorite Bears running back drafted tonight with the
Speaker 1: value like with what you had to pay for him?
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift at the six, Roshawn Johnson at the fifteen
Speaker 1: twelve or Kyle m Nungai at the twenty oh eight.
Speaker 4: I don't know enough about the twentieth round pick. Swift
Speaker 4: with this coach brings up memories of what he did
Speaker 4: with players in Detroit, So I will I will go
Speaker 4: team Swift with the Johnson offense.
Speaker 1: Team Swift, I think is probably that's probably my favorite
Speaker 1: one at cost again tonight. I just think that if
Speaker 1: you miss on that pick, it's the sixth round, it's
Speaker 1: not going to set you back. And obviously with the
Speaker 1: Jones is that is their number two running back and
Speaker 1: Jalen Warren is the one right behind it. So I
Speaker 1: guess you never know, but you know and.
Speaker 4: Think, if your name is Swift, last year you had
Speaker 4: a good year. This year probably have a good year.
Speaker 4: Probably actually good year to be a Swift.
Speaker 1: It's a good year to be a Swift. It's always
Speaker 1: a good time to do a show with Farrell Elliott,
