Speaker 1: He's like, I can't, mat Balky, I can't make it
Speaker 1: to not but you can get Yeah, he has a VIP,
Speaker 1: but we get you on tonight. We also get this
Speaker 1: draft board on tonight. I'm gonna bring it up right
Speaker 1: now again. This is uh we have moving, It is moving,
Speaker 1: it is moving fast. We have twelve teams competing for
Speaker 1: a million dollar grand prize. We're already through the first
Speaker 1: round tonight. I'm gonna bring it up right now, Turp
Speaker 1: and tell everybody who is drafting in this league tonight.
Speaker 1: From the number one spot, we have Gary Broad's Nicky
Speaker 1: Palmer two taking Jamar Chase at the one oh one.
Speaker 1: We have loved my Aubrey. That is Frank Imbornoni's squad.
Speaker 1: He takes Justin Jefferson at the one o two. B
Speaker 1: Jon Robinson is the selection for NYJ seventy four. That's
Speaker 1: Thomas O'Brien's team at the one oh three. Thomas O'Brien,
Speaker 1: you might remember, drafted on these here airwaves on June
Speaker 1: sixteenth for the FFPC Big Gorilla. So he is the
Speaker 1: only drafter we have that was in both of these drafts.
Speaker 1: The June sixteenth one and then obviously tonight, he takes
Speaker 1: Bijon Robinson at one o three. The one oh four
Speaker 1: pick is Saquon Barkley to Michael Melberg and Wayne Nubert.
Speaker 1: If Michael Melberg sounds familiar, it's because he is defending
Speaker 1: champ of the Fantasy Pro Championship now the Big Gorilla Championship.
Speaker 1: He is drafting in the cleanup spot tonight, so and
Speaker 1: we might hear from him tonight too, which is really
Speaker 1: good to find out how he spent that million and
Speaker 1: how he's trying to win a million dollars again this year.
Speaker 1: Jamiir Gibbs goes to Steven Ergalos Fantasy Sopranos at the
Speaker 1: one oh five tonight, who is making some T shirts
Speaker 1: that we will more than likely be distributing in Las
Speaker 1: Vegas at Paris Casino this year for the hsffour fans.
Speaker 1: He is drafting a one to five. He takes Jamier
Speaker 1: Gabs Ceedee Lamb off the board to scoops On Beverly A.
Speaker 1: J Petco ends up taking Ceedee Lamb there tonight at
Speaker 1: the one oh six. The Hooterville Arnolds. We have Bob
Speaker 1: again drafting tonight, longtime FFPC player, longtime kf KF FFS player.
Speaker 1: He is drafting in the seventh spot. He ends up
Speaker 1: going with Brock Bowers the first tight end off the
Speaker 1: board tonight. In this tight end premium format. Demetrios Geekas
Speaker 1: ends up going with Malik Neighbors at the one to white,
Speaker 1: followed by Puka Nikua to Alex Bolazzo's Rhinos. The Minnos
Speaker 1: right after the Rhinos, that's Jeffrey Osborne's team. He takes
Speaker 1: Christian maccapery at the one ten. Devon a Chan who
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll get into in a little bit here, Terp.
Speaker 1: Devon a Chan goes to David Krupsky and Ken Hillenbrand
Speaker 1: killibrand excuse me at the one eleven tonight in the
Speaker 1: Monro Saint Brown to Tom Smith to round up the
Speaker 1: first round tonight. Tom Smith a long time FFPC player
Speaker 1: and kf f FC player. Let's flip it all the
Speaker 1: way back to one oh two. You had Frank gam
Speaker 1: Bornoni having a decision here, Terp, between Bijon Robinson and
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. He goes with Jefferson. I know Frank drafts
Speaker 1: a lot of teams. Maybe this was a correlay of like, hey,
Speaker 1: I already got a lot of Robinson. I don't have
Speaker 1: enough Jefferson. I'm gonna go with Jefferson here. What do
Speaker 1: you make of the pick here with Jefferson over Beijon Robinson.
Speaker 3: I see no issue with it whatsoever. You know, I
Speaker 3: like to pick.
Speaker 4: To me, it would be Robinson. But you know, if
Speaker 4: I was drafting one team, I'd probably take Robinson. But
Speaker 4: he drafts a ton of teams. So you got to
Speaker 4: mix up your exposure, especially early on, you know, getting
Speaker 4: the guys like Jefferson, Robinson, you know, Barkley, Lamb Gibbs,
Speaker 4: if you're a fan Bowers, you got to put in there,
Speaker 4: you know, and just try to mix up the exposure
Speaker 4: a little bit because you don't want to get burned
Speaker 4: fading people in the first round. You know, if you're
Speaker 4: doing one team, get your guy. But if you're not,
Speaker 4: these guys are all here for a reason. Yeah, they
Speaker 4: could get hurt, and there's a lot of things that
Speaker 4: could go wrong, but you don't want to get burned
Speaker 4: fading the guy, like you know, Saquon Barkley, because if
Speaker 4: he does what he did last year, you're in trouble
Speaker 4: for just totally fading him because the guys around him
Speaker 4: probably not gonna put up the same numbers and you're
Speaker 4: gonna be left in a big world to hurt.
Speaker 1: So urp let me this too. Brock Bowers tonight falls
Speaker 1: to the one oh seven. How high would you consider
Speaker 1: drafting him?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 1: In an FFPC draft? Does he fall into the conversation
Speaker 1: at one o two or one o three? Or are
Speaker 1: you fading him a little bit? Not for me?
Speaker 3: I mean I probably would fade him just a little bit.
Speaker 4: I mean that doesn't mean I won't be taking I
Speaker 4: had a best ball draft last week and I took
Speaker 4: him one oh six. I think it was so not
Speaker 4: a not a fade type of situation. But you know,
Speaker 4: I just like some players just a little bit better
Speaker 4: than him. I think tight ends extremely deep. I think
Speaker 4: quarterbacks extremely deep. I think there's a lot of guys
Speaker 4: that you can get a little later that can offset
Speaker 4: Bowers a little bit. I mean, obviously Bowers and McBride,
Speaker 4: you can argue that back and forth through the top
Speaker 4: tight end is that should be drafted. But I like
Speaker 4: where McBride's going just a little bit more than Bowers.
Speaker 4: I think the guy when you're talking about Bowers, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna say, I'm gonna fade him. But you know where
Speaker 4: he's being drafted just a little bit longer, Like if
Speaker 4: he moves down a little bit more, which he won't,
Speaker 4: I'll have more so I'll probably be even with the field.
Speaker 4: But nothing, nothing crazy. I just there's just a little bit,
Speaker 4: you know, less to worry about when it comes to
Speaker 4: McBride in my question, in my opinion.
Speaker 1: So the other thing I want to talk about here
Speaker 1: in the first round, you had a teammate taking that's
Speaker 1: Demetrio's geekis he ends up going with Malik Neighbors over
Speaker 1: Pooka Nakula. In all my heart, I would fall in
Speaker 1: with geekas on this taking Neighbors over Nicula. However, Terp
Speaker 1: in one draft I just did in the kff C,
Speaker 1: I took Nicoula over Neighbors. Do you have a strong
Speaker 1: pull neighbors versus Nikoula in the mid to late first.
Speaker 4: Round it's a lean toward neighbors, not you know, by
Speaker 4: a con in any matter, I'll have both, you know.
Speaker 4: But the thing that scares me about Pooka. Is DeVante
Speaker 4: Adams on the other side, you know he's no slouch obviously.
Speaker 4: You know you saw even with you know a dusty
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers last year, he still you know, got there.
Speaker 4: So where DeVante Adams is being drafted, I much prefer
Speaker 4: than where Pooka's being drafted. So to me, it's his neighbors.
Speaker 4: I don't see a world where neighbors doesn't get every
Speaker 4: target he wants, you know, whether it's from Russell Wilson,
Speaker 4: whether it's from Winston who I pray it's from, or
Speaker 4: the rookie Jackson Dart Stables coaching for his job. And
Speaker 4: there's nobody that's anywhere close.
Speaker 3: To them like neighbors on that field. So to me,
Speaker 3: you know he.
Speaker 4: Should get every manufactured target you can get. And you
Speaker 4: know he is a top, top, top talent in this league.
Speaker 4: So the neighbors from me over Poka?
Speaker 1: Do you is there anything with Nikua as far as
Speaker 1: you know, Like, we know how good he can be
Speaker 1: when he's right, but the way he plays the game,
Speaker 1: and we've we've seen how he plays the game with
Speaker 1: no respect to his body whatsoever, right, And I think
Speaker 1: that that that gives you a pause, but you know
Speaker 1: how high the ceiling could be with Nikua.
Speaker 4: The ceilings, the ceilings a monster. I mean, you've seen,
Speaker 4: you know, Puoka have those games that just you know,
Speaker 4: separates you, you know, whether it's a head to head
Speaker 4: game or you know you're looking at the sprant at
Speaker 4: the end of the season. He's definitely a guy that
Speaker 4: you know, has the ability to put up that monster,
Speaker 4: monster score that everybody's looking for. But you know, he
Speaker 4: there's no Davante Adams. There wasn't no Davante Adams there
Speaker 4: and kyn Williams. You know, is whether you like him
Speaker 4: or not, he's gonna get a ton of carries. And
Speaker 4: you know they obviously drafted Ferguson, who they like a lot,
Speaker 4: who might.
Speaker 3: Not you know, get there right away.
Speaker 4: But you know, as the season goes on, if he
Speaker 4: continues to progress, you know, they have other guys outside.
Speaker 3: Of outside of Hoop of this kitty.
Speaker 4: So it's I'm not sitting here, but in the first round,
Speaker 4: if I'm gonna have to put a fade word on somebody,
Speaker 4: Hooker would be it probably my top three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have we have the dizzel chiming in.
Speaker 3: On Youtubell have a good dizzel tweet.
Speaker 1: Neighbor's ceiling is unknown, and it's true. I mean, we
Speaker 1: saw what he did last year with lack of good
Speaker 1: quarterback play. He's gonna get Russell Wilson figures crossed Jamis Winston.
Speaker 3: And then everybody wants Jameis Winston.
Speaker 4: If Jameis Winston is the quarterback, Neighbors should be probably
Speaker 4: going up there as wide receiver too.
Speaker 1: The second round is complete, so is the third. I
Speaker 1: want to take us through the second round here, some
Speaker 1: standout picks here. Tom Smith the young youngs takes Brian
Speaker 1: Thomas at the two to one. Ashton genty has fallen
Speaker 1: into sort of this one two turn pick right now
Speaker 1: term he goes right now to Team eleven. That's Krupski
Speaker 1: and Hill and Brand here as they pair him with
Speaker 1: Devon a Chan the second tight end off the board
Speaker 1: of the Minnows at the two oh three, Trey McBride,
Speaker 1: you're looking at Derrick Henry, Drake, London, A J. Brown,
Speaker 1: Nico Collins, Rashie Rice is sending all the way up
Speaker 1: to the two. Await tonight to Steven Rgalo's team. The
Speaker 1: Fantasy sopranos.
Speaker 3: You're looking must Scott Barrett tweet right exactly.
Speaker 1: What was that? By the way, So yeah, David Chow chiming.
Speaker 4: In percent sure it was. The actual person in that
Speaker 4: video was Elijah Moore. Oh okay, So what I saw, like,
Speaker 4: you know, I didn't like look at that hard, but
Speaker 4: based off some of the comments and then a couple
Speaker 4: of things I saw on Twitter, it was not Rushie Rice.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, got it, got it, got it, got it,
Speaker 1: all right. So that's people like.
Speaker 4: Scott Barrett was on our know a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 4: Extremely smart guy and you know, extremely funny as it is.
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure that's what it was.
Speaker 1: Okay, So there you go. There, there you have it there,
Speaker 1: and then the remainder of the second round George Kittle,
Speaker 1: and then you're looking at Bucky Irving and then Jonathan
Speaker 1: Taylor to Team one here to round out round round two.
Speaker 1: So let me ask you about a few players in
Speaker 1: this round here, Turp, and we'll get into our first
Speaker 1: guests coming up in a little bit here tonight, Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry Tonight that the two oh four I have been
Speaker 1: fading Derrick Henry Henry for years and I've always paid
Speaker 1: the price for it. Am I gonna pay the price
Speaker 1: for fading Derrick Henry again in twenty twenty five, you.
Speaker 4: Might, but I'm gonna join you, and I'm gonna fade
Speaker 4: him too. I just one of these years is gonna happen.
Speaker 4: It's you know, it's hard because the Ravens are extremely
Speaker 4: good team. They should have a lot of positive game scripts,
Speaker 4: which means Derek Henry is gonna get a ton of
Speaker 4: ton of work later in the game just to you know,
Speaker 4: kill the clock or whatever.
Speaker 1: He has.
Speaker 3: Nobody but him that you really worry.
Speaker 4: About, You think Keithon Mitchell, you don't know Justice Hill,
Speaker 4: you know what he is, so you know, Lamar Jackson
Speaker 4: obviously gonna steal some.
Speaker 3: But to me, I'll just take some of those receivers.
Speaker 4: I'll take devon Ah Chain, you know, I just pray
Speaker 4: McBride obviously, I'll take all those guys over him and
Speaker 4: just you know, build my whether it's my running back too,
Speaker 4: if I started, you know, Bijon Barkley, Gibbs, McCaffrey or
Speaker 4: a chain, and then just fill fill the running back
Speaker 4: position somewhere else, because yeah, he has twenty touchdown upside
Speaker 4: he does, But I mean he's gonna fall to cliff
Speaker 4: here the way he runs sooner rather than later.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna make the bet.
Speaker 4: I'll have, you know, two three percent all things considered,
Speaker 4: just to have some protection. But I'm probably out on
Speaker 4: him too. I'm gonna join you on that train.
Speaker 1: What do you make of Rashid Rice here to a
Speaker 1: guy who's really been rising up draft boards? He goes
Speaker 1: to Steven Rgalos tonight to pair with Jamiir Gibbs. I
Speaker 1: don't like the idea here. It sounds like Rashie Rice's
Speaker 1: suspension is not gonna happen until twenty twenty six. We
Speaker 1: know how good he was until he had that knee
Speaker 1: injury last year, but we also understand paying a premium
Speaker 1: for him as well. Are we paying too much with
Speaker 1: Steven Hergalos paid tonight at the tool weight or is
Speaker 1: that still a good value to you? Is that? Is
Speaker 1: that still a sticker price that Dave Tripoli is willing
Speaker 1: to pay in twenty twenty five?
Speaker 3: It worries me. I'm not gonna sit here and say
Speaker 3: that I'm not a Rice guy.
Speaker 4: I have plenty of rice early in drafts got him
Speaker 4: a little bit better price than he's going now. I
Speaker 4: don't see there being any way that he doesn't get
Speaker 4: moved up even more. Like let's just say all things
Speaker 4: are positive, and he's starting, you know, week one, one
Speaker 4: hundred percent, Like, yeah, you see all these videos and stuff,
Speaker 4: but like, let's just say all the positive. You know,
Speaker 4: he's not getting suspended, none of that stuff. By the
Speaker 4: time we drafted at Paris in September, I could see
Speaker 4: him being getting close to that one two turn. I mean,
Speaker 4: you saw what the ceiling could be early last year.
Speaker 4: You know, he was he was on, you know, early on,
Speaker 4: the best fantasy pick right there with Chris Godwin early on,
Speaker 4: and then they both had you know, real, real bad injuries,
Speaker 4: and things just kind of hit the hit the wall.
Speaker 4: But I just it's it's hard not to like the situation.
Speaker 4: I'm buying the Chiefs this year. I'm buying the passing game.
Speaker 4: I'm buying you know, Rice Worthy, Mahomes, not Kelsey, not
Speaker 4: Hollywood Brown, especially in the gorilla format. But I see,
Speaker 4: I see why he's being he's being drafted. But you
Speaker 4: also have to put in your brain that if you're
Speaker 4: drafting a ton of teams a lot of teams got
Speaker 4: Rashid Rice way better price. And now by the time
Speaker 4: he's late July early August and the positive, positive stuff
Speaker 4: keeps coming, he's gonna keep rising. So you gotta weigh
Speaker 4: that out. If you're a one person draft, hey take him,
Speaker 4: go ahead. But when you're in a ton of ton
Speaker 4: of leagues, you'll mixing some exposure. But it's it's it's
Speaker 4: tricky because his price is I'm gonna get higher. He's
Speaker 4: gonna start going over A. J. Brown, He's gonna start
Speaker 4: going over Drake London and maybe getting into territory where
Speaker 4: he's just way, way too expensive. He's probably expensive for
Speaker 4: me right now. But you know I'll still have him.
Speaker 4: I'll still take him because I love the talent.
Speaker 1: Turp. I want to welcome in our first guests of
Speaker 1: the Night, longtime FFPC KFFSC players. They are drafting tonight
Speaker 1: from the seventh spot. Uh the co owners of the
Speaker 1: Hooterville Arnolds franchise Tonight, Bob Hogan and of course his
Speaker 1: grandson Hudson, who is still awake. I want to get
Speaker 1: him for Hudson had to go to bed tonight. Bob
Speaker 1: and Hudson welcome in guys, how are we doing tonight?
Speaker 6: We're doing pretty good.
Speaker 7: We just did an underdog draft and we're working on
Speaker 7: our six hour slow draft with KFFC.
Speaker 6: So we've been drafting like crazy tonight.
Speaker 3: Six hour slow drafts. God, bless you guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly what I'm I'm doing the same thing, Turf.
Speaker 1: I love it. Bless you too, Hudson, Hudson, what's been
Speaker 1: your what's your what's your day been like? Drafting with
Speaker 1: Grandpa here?
Speaker 8: Oh, it's been pretty good.
Speaker 1: You're loving every minute of it. Right. Yeah. So guys,
Speaker 1: as I look at your team, as you just took
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton, let's talk about him. First rainbow start for
Speaker 1: you guys, tight end, wide receiver, running back, quarterback. You
Speaker 1: guys get Sutton here in the fifth round at the
Speaker 1: five oh seven. Talk a little bit about what you
Speaker 1: think Sutton's fantasy prospects is going to be in year
Speaker 1: two of Bo Nicks, year two of Sean Payton, and
Speaker 1: year two of quite frankly not having a whole lot
Speaker 1: of other receivers threatening him for targets. I like this
Speaker 1: pick for you, guys, Bob.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Sutton did a lot of good for me last
Speaker 7: year and kind of slowed down towards the end, but
Speaker 7: I had him on several teams. Of course, I got
Speaker 7: him a lot later last year than getting him this year,
Speaker 7: but he is someone that I have liked for a
Speaker 7: long time now. Hudson really liked the Philadelphia stack that
Speaker 7: we got there, and you'll notice we jumped up and
Speaker 7: took Hurts ahead of Jayde and Daniels.
Speaker 3: I approve.
Speaker 1: Well. And that's the thing I guess I have to
Speaker 1: ask you, Bob and and Hudson, you can weigh in
Speaker 1: on this too. If you did not get a J.
Speaker 1: Brown in the second round, would you have still taken
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts there?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Uh, if we didn't get a J. Brown, I don't
Speaker 8: think we would have taken Hurts.
Speaker 1: Now would you have taken Daniels there? Or some are
Speaker 1: a different position.
Speaker 8: I don't really I'm not.
Speaker 9: Have taken Daniels.
Speaker 3: I don't really know, smart kid.
Speaker 7: One thing he talked about doing was picking up Jalen
Speaker 7: Hurts and DeVonta Smith instead of if we didn't get Brown,
Speaker 7: but we had the option of taking Nico, which kind
Speaker 7: of would have been my choice.
Speaker 6: But but Hudson likes uh, likes a J. And uh
Speaker 6: uh and Jay, so we went with his choices this
Speaker 6: time of year.
Speaker 1: You don't, You don't, but Hudson if I can, because
Speaker 1: I know people will will analyze this. Why do you
Speaker 1: like AJ Brown? And I guess, I guess you know.
Speaker 1: The The easy response is, well, Philadelphia can't run as
Speaker 1: much as they did last year. They're gonna have to
Speaker 1: throw more. Is that why you like Brown over Collins?
Speaker 1: Or is there a different rubric that you're looking at here?
Speaker 1: Why AJ Brown is the better pick over Nico Collins
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five?
Speaker 8: I liked you and Hirst more than Nico Collins in
Speaker 8: five because uh A J.
Speaker 1: Brown.
Speaker 8: I thought he.
Speaker 3: Gets a lot of catches, Yes, Collins.
Speaker 8: Last year he had to share the ball a lot
Speaker 8: with uh, Tank Dell and Stefan Diggs, so I think
Speaker 8: he will. He might be a little bit better this year.
Speaker 8: I think forty. But I still like AJ.
Speaker 1: More than Brown. Well so does turt Mark. Herp is
Speaker 1: a big AJ Brown fan, so he is going to
Speaker 1: support that. Bob, let's talk about Amar and Hampton. The
Speaker 1: pick that you made at the three oh seven tonight.
Speaker 1: I keep hearing, you know, from a lot of putinens
Speaker 1: out there that Hampton's going to be the guy that
Speaker 1: you won in your team, because you might start off
Speaker 1: slow with Donjay Haret, But do you believe that Hampton's
Speaker 1: going to be the guy that's going to be carrying
Speaker 1: the water for the Chargers at the end of the season.
Speaker 7: Well, I think Hampton has two good eyes right now,
Speaker 7: and I'm not sure that Nase actually has two eyes
Speaker 7: that work.
Speaker 1: Good point, excellent point.
Speaker 3: So a lot of rumors going out there.
Speaker 6: That might help Hampton early in the season.
Speaker 7: And what I was telling Hudson we just drafted him
Speaker 7: an underdog, is that if Hampton gets the early go
Speaker 7: and he does well, he could just he could just
Speaker 7: run with it all year. We also just took Judkins,
Speaker 7: so we are deeply involved in rookie running backs.
Speaker 1: So to put a button on the Chargers conversation if
Speaker 1: that happens, you know, with Hampton, where if he takes
Speaker 1: over sooner rather than later. It's not like the Chargers
Speaker 1: gave up all this cash to get Naja Harris. They
Speaker 1: signed up early in free agency, but it's not a
Speaker 1: ton of financial investment that they made in him. So
Speaker 1: it's easy for Harris to sort of assume a one
Speaker 1: b or quite frankly, a backup role if it happens.
Speaker 1: The Judkins pick, Bob, I think is more interesting here
Speaker 1: because we heard reports that Jerome Ford might be the
Speaker 1: starter to open the season. Obviously, they double tap the
Speaker 1: position in the draft, getting Dylan Sampson as well as
Speaker 1: quinch on Judkins. You guys are Judkins believers at the
Speaker 1: six oh six? Can you share some insight on why
Speaker 1: you think Judkins was the right pick for your number
Speaker 1: two running back on the squad.
Speaker 7: Everything I hear is that Jerome Ford all of his
Speaker 7: analytics from last year were worse than his success rate
Speaker 7: for fantasy and that that he really is just not
Speaker 7: a superstar, and Judkins very well could be. I'm not
Speaker 7: overly concerned about Dylan Sampson other than than picking Sampson
Speaker 7: as well as Judkins tells me that Cleveland.
Speaker 6: Isn't all that sould on jeroom Forward either.
Speaker 7: The only thing I will say is I've got Ford
Speaker 7: on a couple of my six Dynasty teams, so I
Speaker 7: wouldn't mind too much if he comes there.
Speaker 1: Hudson, You're getting a lot of love. I keep I
Speaker 1: keep throwing up all the comments here on the on
Speaker 1: the YouTube, Alex P. Keaton, Joe King, Adam Hahn, uh
Speaker 1: Dave Scioto, all all chiming in on. Just loving your
Speaker 1: analysis here tonight, guys, I'm gonna I'm gonna leave you
Speaker 1: with this. You're coming up here at the Let's see
Speaker 1: what pick is this? This is gonna be the seven,
Speaker 1: seven oh seven, and I'll have you make this pick
Speaker 1: live on the air. We're at the seven oh three
Speaker 1: right now. I think we can get there for you.
Speaker 1: You're looking at Hampton and Judkins as you're two running back.
Speaker 1: Here's the great thing, the one Z positions. You already
Speaker 1: have a quarterback in Jalen Hurts. You will already have
Speaker 1: Brock Bowers at the one oh seven, which I thought
Speaker 1: was good value here, and you have aj Brown and
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton Hudson. I'll throw this question to you, when
Speaker 1: you sat down with your grandpa here and try to
Speaker 1: figure out this draft, did you have a set strategy
Speaker 1: going in or you're kind of taking this pick by
Speaker 1: pick and seeing what the other guys were doing in
Speaker 1: this draft. Uh?
Speaker 8: I was kind of taking it more pick by pick
Speaker 8: to see what other guys were doing in this draft.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and when you look at what they have been
Speaker 1: doing here. You obviously have left yourself a lot of
Speaker 1: flexibility here. You could go running back, you could go receiver,
Speaker 1: you could quite frankly go tight end if you want it.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's what you guys are going
Speaker 1: to do. I don't think you'll go quarterback here. But
Speaker 1: as you're in the hole here and looking at the
Speaker 1: seven oh seven, Hudson, do you have a player or
Speaker 1: position in mind that you think you want to try
Speaker 1: to shift your grandpa into believing like, hey, this is
Speaker 1: the player we need here coming up.
Speaker 8: I'm thinking we're gonna probably need uh, either Chris Godwin
Speaker 8: or Jordan Addison.
Speaker 1: Godwin or Addison here. So he's looking at receiver, Bob,
Speaker 1: do you concur here because you can honestly, you're at
Speaker 1: we're at the seven oh six. You guys are gonna
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to draft both of these guys, or
Speaker 1: at least one of these guys. Is that we are
Speaker 1: looking at here at the seven oh seven, grabbing a
Speaker 1: third receiver in the seventh round.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 7: Uh, Pachecko would be the other option as a possibility.
Speaker 6: And we are on now, but I think we'll go
Speaker 6: with Addison.
Speaker 7: I'm a little surprised Hudson didn't say Andrews because being
Speaker 7: more we're from by Louisville.
Speaker 6: He's a big lamar fan.
Speaker 4: Ah.
Speaker 1: Okay, well you're on the clock. You got forty five seconds.
Speaker 1: All these guys are available, Mark Andrews, Isaiah Pichecko, Chris Godwin,
Speaker 1: you guys end up going made the right pick with
Speaker 1: Jordan Addison. Turp approves, Bob. Why was Addison the right
Speaker 1: pick here for you?
Speaker 7: Well, you know I hate picking a wide receiver to
Speaker 7: as a starter in fantasy, but you know he's wide
Speaker 7: receiver too behind the best receiver of this generation. UH,
Speaker 7: and so that he's really a one A. Even though
Speaker 7: Jefferson is awesome man. Last year he showed that he
Speaker 7: showed that he could come through. UH. A little concerned
Speaker 7: about whether JJ McCarthy will actually be an NFL quarterback.
Speaker 7: You never know what you see a guy play, but
Speaker 7: they had enough confidence in him they let Donald walk.
Speaker 6: So you know Minnesota's.
Speaker 7: Offense is UH is going to be a steamroller this year,
Speaker 7: and I think they'll be throwing the ball even more
Speaker 7: with UH with Jenes getting a year older.
Speaker 1: UH, you love to see it a grandfather and grandson
Speaker 1: going for a million bucks in the FFPC. Big tell
Speaker 1: him that.
Speaker 6: I told him it was five thousand and he get half.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, listen, a million million dollars, Hudson. I
Speaker 1: may have misspoke, but know this that you will have
Speaker 1: all the candy suckers, comic books and DVDs if the
Speaker 1: kids still watch DVDs nowadays that you want. If you
Speaker 1: guys are able to pull this, yeah, you're probably Yeah,
Speaker 1: Netflix subscriptions or whatever it is. Guys, thanks so much.
Speaker 1: This was a treat having both of you guys on
Speaker 1: Bob and Hudson Hogan hanging out with us tonight. Good
Speaker 1: luck the rest of the way. Good luck in all
Speaker 1: your drafts, and Bob, I promise you we will hook
Speaker 1: up on a dynasty trade in KFFSC one of these days.
Speaker 1: There's got to be a pairing out there. We'll figure
Speaker 1: it out. Thanks so much for being a part of
Speaker 1: the broadcast.
Speaker 7: I'm sure Hudson will probably see you in Louisville because
Speaker 7: the casino was letting young people in again.
Speaker 1: Fantastic, Hudson. I'll see it in next month. I guess
Speaker 1: I'll see out in Louisville for the KFFSC man. Yep,
Speaker 1: see ya, all right, you got it. That is Bob
Speaker 1: and Hudson. Hogan, Hudson, I'm sure will be buying me
Speaker 1: my first bourbon when I'm in louis drafting.
Speaker 3: You never know your last bourbon, last bourbon.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's wild. It's gonna be a fun time out
Speaker 1: in the kf ffc uh and the Dizzle chiming in
Speaker 1: on YouTube wants to know if Hudson will play video
Speaker 1: poker with him at the KFFSC coming up in Northern
Speaker 1: excuse me in Kentucky and Louisville at the end of
Speaker 1: the month. It's gonna be fun.
Speaker 3: That picture he has up there, nobody's gonna play anything
Speaker 3: with him.
Speaker 1: You're probably right, You're probably right. Uh. And like all
Speaker 1: the comments are really positive on on Hudson. I think
Speaker 1: he handled himself very well on the YouTube broadcast. Uh Uh.
Speaker 1: As much as I'd love to go through the last
Speaker 1: couple of rounds, I don't want to keep our next
Speaker 1: guest waiting. And the reason why is because he is
Speaker 1: not only the defending champion of his league in this tournament,
Speaker 1: he is the defending champion of the million dollars Grand
Speaker 1: prize that was awarded last year in the Fantasy Pro Championship.
Speaker 1: Obviously it's the big rula this year. He is drafting
Speaker 1: to go back to back, something that's only been done
Speaker 1: once before in history this tournament by abiab Agbatoba. And
Speaker 1: I'm really rooting for this guy hard, not only because
Speaker 1: he's a great guy, but because he hails and he
Speaker 1: is living literally minutes away from where I'm broadcasting right
Speaker 1: now in Appleton, Wisconsin. Please welcome in the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four Fantasy pros Championship million dollar grand prize winner, mister
Speaker 1: Mike Melberg. Mike, welcome back onto the show. Thanks so
Speaker 1: much for joining us tonight. How has that million dollars
Speaker 1: been spending for you? Hey?
Speaker 3: How you doing, guys?
Speaker 1: Good?
Speaker 3: What's good?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 10: We just.
Speaker 5: My daughter graduated from Blattville as a fighter engineer degree,
Speaker 5: so get that off and just doing some stuff around
Speaker 5: the house and uh, I just playing a lot of
Speaker 5: Fantasy football.
Speaker 1: You're good for you. Yeah. Adam Hallnd wants to know
Speaker 1: right now are you in this draft? Yes, you are
Speaker 1: drafting from the four spot Mocker and Boob fourteen here.
Speaker 1: You're coming up on your eighth round pick. Again, as
Speaker 1: we look through the first seven rounds, you already have
Speaker 1: your elite quarterback, your elite tight end, a couple of receivers,
Speaker 1: good running back, backfield here, a well balanced team. Mike,
Speaker 1: how do you feel about this squad thus far into
Speaker 1: this draft? Pretty good?
Speaker 3: Pretty good. It's going pretty good for so far.
Speaker 1: Yep. Now, Mike, the other thing Dizzil wants to know
Speaker 1: is are you coming to Vegas this year? I know
Speaker 1: you were there last year. You're planning to come into
Speaker 1: Paris again this year?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll be there.
Speaker 5: Our flight lands Thursday hopefully, and yeah, we're there for
Speaker 5: the watch party and then we have a draft Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 1: Perfect. I'd love to see it and maybe you guys
Speaker 1: win the million dollars in the FFPC main event. We're talking,
Speaker 1: of course, with Mike Melberg, who is teaming up with
Speaker 1: Wayne Nubert for this draft tonight. You guys are on
Speaker 1: deck here. I think one of the greatest things about
Speaker 1: these drafts, if you stay balanced, you can catch value
Speaker 1: you when it falls to you. I take that back.
Speaker 1: You're not on deck, You're you're you're in the hole
Speaker 1: right now. You've added Saquon Barkley, Kyraen Williams and Caleb
Speaker 1: Johnson to your backfield. Out Wide, you have Lad McConkie
Speaker 1: and Xavier Worthy. You also have Jayden Daniels as your
Speaker 1: signal caller. The tight end seven tonight ends up being
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram. He's your starding tight end. You're on deck here, Mike,
Speaker 1: can you give the listeners and the viewers a little
Speaker 1: bit of a taste of what you're thinking here in
Speaker 1: the eighth round? This coming from the million dollar champ
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 5: Uh, let's see, I'd probably go receiver or running back.
Speaker 5: You're I'm thinking probably receiver with the ffpiece.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, And he goes Javonte Williams. Steven Gervalos, the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sopranos takes the thirty fourth running back off the board.
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams tonight and you you act quickly, Mike, no hesitation.
Speaker 1: Why was it stuff Digs? Why did you believe in
Speaker 1: him here as your eighth round pick?
Speaker 11: Uh?
Speaker 5: I just like Drake May from New England, and with
Speaker 5: Diggs being the number one receiver there, I just I
Speaker 5: think it's a no brainer in you know, in the
Speaker 5: eighth row.
Speaker 1: So we have seen a lot of video and footage
Speaker 1: about Stefan Diggs really moving around quite well for a
Speaker 1: guy who's coming off of torn acl much more so
Speaker 1: than Chris Godwin for what that's worth too. And we
Speaker 1: can talk about Chris Godwin later, but you have Stefan
Speaker 1: Diggs as your number three receiver here. This is a
Speaker 1: guy that could scoop up a lot of targets and
Speaker 1: obviously a guy that you don't even have to start
Speaker 1: every single week because of how the f FPC starting
Speaker 1: lineup works, you only have to start two receivers. Stefan
Speaker 1: Diggs could just be a plug and play for you,
Speaker 1: which I think is great so far. Who's your favorite
Speaker 1: draft pick so far through eight rounds? Mike? If you
Speaker 1: look at your entire roster, who is the one guy
Speaker 1: you look at You're like, man, I'm so glad we
Speaker 1: got him. More we got.
Speaker 5: I think Jane Daniels when he fell to the fourth row,
Speaker 5: normally he doesn't fall that far. Yeah, I like him
Speaker 5: as in number one this year as far as quarterback goes,
Speaker 5: So yeah, I like him. And let's see.
Speaker 1: You are on the clock right now too, and I'll
Speaker 1: just I'll stump for time here as you figure out
Speaker 1: who you and Wayne Nubert are going to be taking
Speaker 1: at the nine oh four tonight, again a very balanced squad,
Speaker 1: three receivers, through running backs, quarterback, tight end. You went
Speaker 1: back to the wide receiver, well, Mike Josh Downs at
Speaker 1: the nine oh four player I happen to like this
Speaker 1: year as well. Why do you like him here?
Speaker 5: I think Daniels will be Daniel Jones will be the quarterback,
Speaker 5: so I like him more Anthony Richardson as far as
Speaker 5: the throwing the ball, so like Josh doneson nin Thrones.
Speaker 1: So I love the fact that you're getting him as
Speaker 1: your wide receiver for in the ninth round where you
Speaker 1: can play matchups if Richardson ends up being the starter
Speaker 1: certain weeks, He's an easy bench and you have running
Speaker 1: backs to plug and play there. You obviously have Evan
Speaker 1: Ingram as well at tight end, so that part is
Speaker 1: taking care of. Listen, man, this is a treat of reconvening.
Speaker 1: I know we talked in January, so glad to have
Speaker 1: you back on the show. Congratulations to your daughter graduating
Speaker 1: from the University of Wisconsin Plattville. I know some of
Speaker 1: the money helped her put her through college. There I
Speaker 1: know you had a lot of other stuff that you
Speaker 1: had going on with the million bucks. Cannot wait to
Speaker 1: see you in Las Vegas again, and listen, I might
Speaker 1: see you around town here in Appleton. You never know.
Speaker 1: Mike Meldern, the twenty twenty four Fantasy Pros Championship champion,
Speaker 1: the million dollar Grand Prize winner. I appreciate you coming
Speaker 1: on tonight, Mike, Thanks so much.
Speaker 3: Good luck man Hey, thanks for having me on.
Speaker 1: Guys. Thanks that is Mike Melburg. Ladies and gentlemen, always
Speaker 1: a good dude to talk to. Midwest nice turps. As
Speaker 1: we're joined by Appleton Royalty on the show.
Speaker 3: Gotta love your friends and packers country.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I love it. I absolutely love it that
Speaker 1: Mike was able to make some time tonight drafting out
Speaker 1: of the four spot. What do you make of the
Speaker 1: Josh Dowins pick. I really like it here he talked
Speaker 1: a little bit about and I think that's what we're
Speaker 1: leaning towards. Daniel Jones is probably going to be the
Speaker 1: starter for Indianapolis, at least to start the season. I'm
Speaker 1: actually Pittman went two picks before Downs. I'm totally on
Speaker 1: Pittman and Downs this year. Both of them.
Speaker 4: It's scary because if you just readwind what you just
Speaker 4: said right there, Pittman and Downs are tied to Daniel Jones.
Speaker 4: Everybody in the fantasy where I was banking on Daniel
Speaker 4: Jones this year to unlock all the Colts. If Anthony
Speaker 4: Richards is the quarterback, Jonathan Taylor, nobody wants them, Downs, Pittman,
Speaker 4: all those guys, nobody wants them if Anthony Richards the quarterback.
Speaker 3: But if Daniel Jones is the quarterback, everything changes. So
Speaker 3: it's scary to even put those words out there in
Speaker 3: the world, but it's the truth. Like Daniel Jones unlocks
Speaker 3: these guys.
Speaker 4: If he figures it out a little bit, all these
Speaker 4: guys could be unlocked to where they're way way great values.
Speaker 1: Well the other go ahead, Daniel Jones. I think the
Speaker 1: other thing too here is that we have to keep
Speaker 1: in mind and and I'm gonna bring it up here
Speaker 1: as well, that I have Todd Stoker right now on YouTube.
Speaker 1: Isn't there too much competition in Indy with Michael Pittman,
Speaker 1: Alec Pierce, Donna Mitchell, and Tyler Warren. So he brings
Speaker 1: up a good point here.
Speaker 4: I don't think so. For one once perspective. I'm just
Speaker 4: gonna interrupt you real quick.
Speaker 1: Go ahead.
Speaker 4: Michael Pittman is always going to be out there. The
Speaker 4: question with the other like Tyler Warren probably always going
Speaker 4: to be out there capital all that stuff.
Speaker 3: I think a little bit.
Speaker 4: I mean, he's a quality tight end. He was a
Speaker 4: great tight end of Penn State. The other guys are
Speaker 4: what you question. Don't forget Ole Peerce who puts up
Speaker 4: numbers very quietly but still has those like pop games
Speaker 4: here and there, not really for this type of league,
Speaker 4: but for a best ball type before Matt Alec Pierce
Speaker 4: is a little bit more, you know, interesting Mitchell who
Speaker 4: is like kind of stuck in the middle, Like is
Speaker 4: Daniel Jalones ever gonna un locke Mitchell? I don't think so.
Speaker 4: I think Downs is a better player. But you also
Speaker 4: have to worry about Downs because is he definitely gonna
Speaker 4: play every snap?
Speaker 3: Is he more of a slot guy?
Speaker 4: Like that's where the question comes in, like are they
Speaker 4: gonna play a lot of two tight ends? Like there's
Speaker 4: a lot a lot of questions when it comes to
Speaker 4: everybody to me except for Michael Pittman, But these guys
Speaker 4: are being drafted I'm fine with Downs. I like Pittman
Speaker 4: better though.
Speaker 1: So so here and and uh and I wish Ferrell
Speaker 1: was on with you tonight because you guys would have
Speaker 1: phoned common ground on Michael Pittman tonight.
Speaker 4: A couple of things one time, once in a lifetime thing,
Speaker 4: we actually agree.
Speaker 1: Well, pro Versus Joe's will definitely bring it up. We
Speaker 1: will definitely.
Speaker 3: I can't wait, I can't I can't wait. Wait is
Speaker 3: that again?
Speaker 1: So we're gonna so Pross Joe's is gonna kick off
Speaker 1: here pretty quick. We're gonna have I'm bringing up the
Speaker 1: dates right now on this, but we're like two weeks
Speaker 1: away from pro I should say a little bit more
Speaker 1: than two weeks away. So we're gonna have live drafts
Speaker 1: on the HSFF hour and f FPC YouTube channel July twentieth,
Speaker 1: July twenty first, July twenty second, and then we're gonna
Speaker 1: have three more July twenty seventh, July twenty eighth, and
Speaker 1: July twenty ninth. So not next week, but the week after,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have Turp, you're gonna have Farrell, you're gonna
Speaker 1: have me and a cavalcade of guests coming up that'll
Speaker 1: be on the HSFF. It's gonna be a lot of
Speaker 1: fun regarding the Colts here, and I think that Dizzle
Speaker 1: commented on this. Alec Pierce ad and I Mitchell not great.
Speaker 1: I am kind of out on those guys, both of them,
Speaker 1: regardless of who the quarterback is. I think it comes
Speaker 1: down to Pittman and Downs, because I think both these
Speaker 1: guys can be successful no matter who the Colts quarterback
Speaker 1: is this year. And you're looking at both these guys
Speaker 1: going in the nine round. Michael Pittman, we forget because
Speaker 1: last year is pit he was playing with a broken back,
Speaker 1: turp and and when you play with a broken back,
Speaker 1: your numbers are not going to be great, especially when
Speaker 1: you have another guy like Josh Downs who can really
Speaker 1: electrify an offense, which is I wouldn't say electrified it
Speaker 1: last year, but he has that potential to do it.
Speaker 1: I think we forget about Pittman. I'm fine with both
Speaker 1: these guys in the ninth round. I will say that
Speaker 1: I think people are a little too gung ho on
Speaker 1: Downs for the most part this year and probably should
Speaker 1: be taking a longer look at Pittman. But I think
Speaker 1: both of these guys can play. I don't think Anthony
Speaker 1: Richardson is the quarterback in Week one. Not sure he's
Speaker 1: ever going to be the quarterback in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: I think he will be at some point, but I
Speaker 1: don't know when that is, and I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's ever going to happen, So I'm definitely down up.
Speaker 4: I think Anthony Richson is pretty much somebody that you
Speaker 4: want to avoid. I mean, obviously from a quarterback perspective,
Speaker 4: like the rushing ability, that's all we really like, but
Speaker 4: he can't throw the football right if he's the quarterbackman
Speaker 4: downs Mitchell, Warren, Pierce and anybody else do you want
Speaker 4: to throw out there?
Speaker 3: Especially Jonathan Taylor. I don't like it.
Speaker 4: Jonathan Taylor with Daniel Jones I like a lot more
Speaker 4: because it should be more of a balance attack. Daniel
Speaker 4: Jones he's a good rushing he has the rushing ability,
Speaker 4: but he's not gonna take the Jonathan Taylor like, you know,
Speaker 4: you know, goal line touches and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: So to me, it's, you know, stay away with Manthey Ribson.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'll just touch on Tyler Warren too. I
Speaker 1: think the the track record of tight ends that are
Speaker 1: drafted as high as he was this year, even as
Speaker 1: a as a rookie, I think that there is a
Speaker 1: lot to like about Tyler Warren. So I'm I'm definitely fine,
Speaker 1: and I've drafted Tyler Warren in a few spots already.
Speaker 1: I'm fine with Warren. I'm fine with Pittman, I'm fine
Speaker 1: with Downs. I'm going elsewhere in regards to Pierce and Mitchell.
Speaker 4: Talked about earlier, the deep tight end position, warren Craft
Speaker 4: can Ferguson Andrews where he's being drafted like Nadjoku, Ingram,
Speaker 4: I mean all those guys, like they make a ton
Speaker 4: of sense, Like if you're not gonna get one of
Speaker 4: the top like two or three or four.
Speaker 1: Guys that you like, throwing Kelsey there too, tur No,
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. Okay, why? Why? Okay,
Speaker 1: this is an interesting conversation. So you're fine with Ingram,
Speaker 1: Kraft and Djoku or whatever. But Kelsey tonight he goes
Speaker 1: to the Rhinos. That's Alex Bolazzo's team at the six
Speaker 1: o four. You're just out on Kelsey period. I still
Speaker 1: think there's something.
Speaker 4: I'm not out, but like, I mean, like what is
Speaker 4: he in the rankings of where he's gonna get targets.
Speaker 4: He's clearly older, he's clearly a little bit dustier. After
Speaker 4: you saw last year. Is Andy Reid gonna get him
Speaker 4: the ball more than Rashid Rice? Now Xavier Worthy? No,
Speaker 4: I don't know about that, but everybody hates Xavier Worthy
Speaker 4: this year.
Speaker 1: I love everybody, right, not everybody. Everybody loves Chiv, that's
Speaker 1: for sure. Everybody loves for Rice, Rashi Rice?
Speaker 4: Is this that guy that's skyt That's why I said earlier,
Speaker 4: I'm worried just because everyone everybody loves somebody, it usually
Speaker 4: never works out everybody. If you say Rice versus Worthy,
Speaker 4: all things considered, everybody hates Worthy, but Worthy if they
Speaker 4: if they turn into a team that's going to throw
Speaker 4: the ball more, Worthy should get some manufacturing touch. And
Speaker 4: he has that game breaking ability. He has that thirty
Speaker 4: to forty point upside. I'm not sitting here saying I'm
Speaker 4: taking Worthy of a Rice, but I think it's closer
Speaker 4: than people are like giving it giving it out to
Speaker 4: and Kelsey in the sixth round. To me, look at
Speaker 4: the guy who's getting drafted around. Who are you taking
Speaker 4: him over? James Connor.
Speaker 3: No, Ridley.
Speaker 1: No, I would hold on, hold on, you say that,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, dependent upon my team.
Speaker 3: Bills, structure. Structure is very important. Structure is very important.
Speaker 1: So I will just say this, like in regards to
Speaker 1: Kelsey versus Connor versus Ridley, Yes, I can and see
Speaker 1: him take I could see myself taking Connor and Ridley
Speaker 1: over it. But I mean, I'm not saying in every build, right,
Speaker 1: I could still see myself taking Kelsey over those guys.
Speaker 3: You're very important, your your point is.
Speaker 1: Made, and I and I think it's it's important to
Speaker 1: understand that, you know, Kelsey in a down year last year,
Speaker 1: like we had red flags going up, we had alarms
Speaker 1: going up when Rashie Rice was basically hurt the entire year, right,
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown, who we haven't talked about, was basically hurt
Speaker 1: the entire year last year. And You're Worthy was pretty
Speaker 1: much worthless, well, no xader worthy. What's interesting about me?
Speaker 1: And I feel this. I feel bad about this because
Speaker 1: I have him on like two Dynasty teams, maybe only
Speaker 1: one now that I think about it, and it was
Speaker 1: just a fomo pick. But what he showed me last
Speaker 1: year when he was forced into being much more than
Speaker 1: a lidlifter, much more than a field stretcher. He performed
Speaker 1: without Rice and with Kelsey, you know, being down last year,
Speaker 1: like I was really impressed with Xavier Worthy, So so
Speaker 1: for me this year, I have my expectations were Worthy
Speaker 1: and what he's able to do in this offense, they're
Speaker 1: sky rotted, skyrocketed, excuse me, from what they were last year, Turf.
Speaker 1: I just think it's wheels up for this Chiefs offense
Speaker 1: in general. They can do a lot to different teams
Speaker 1: this year, whether they want to attack them with the
Speaker 1: run game, whether we want to attack them to the pass.
Speaker 1: I think their offensive line is a little bit better
Speaker 1: this year, especially at left tackle if Josh Simmons wins
Speaker 1: that job. I am a fan of the Chiefs offense
Speaker 1: this year. And Patrick Mahomes two who fell tonight? Where
Speaker 1: did Mahomes go at the seven o two? Is quarterback?
Speaker 1: Six to love my Aubrey. That's Frank and Bornoni's team.
Speaker 1: Who grabs him as a starting quarterback at the seven
Speaker 1: oh two? It's really hard not to.
Speaker 4: I mean, you tell yourself a story every draft you do,
Speaker 4: you tell a story Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 9: In your head.
Speaker 4: He returns to that Patrick Mahomes that everybody love and
Speaker 4: is drafting as a number one quarterback.
Speaker 3: Is it in the range of possibilities? I think it is.
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, we could say whatever we want
Speaker 4: about like, you know, guys around him, but like to me,
Speaker 4: you know, I love stacking, so stacking something that I
Speaker 4: go by. So when you're dressing Patrick Mahomes, you have
Speaker 4: the option to get a bunch of his guys. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I know, Rashid Rice is expensives, even Worthy's not, Travis
Speaker 4: Kelsey's not. All things considered, you can pretty much move
Speaker 4: things around to get all those guys. Mahomes by himself,
Speaker 4: to me, is just a flawed system when it comes
Speaker 4: to trying to win a tournament. And I've been very
Speaker 4: outspoken on the show. On the show that we did
Speaker 4: on Thursday. On Wednesday, Brian Drake I said, anybody and
Speaker 4: best ball is different.
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 4: But if you're gonna go Mahomes and you're trying to
Speaker 4: win a tournament, you gotta put them with somebody. Because
Speaker 4: let's just say Mahomes gets there, how is he getting there?
Speaker 4: That's gonna offset the Daniels, the Jackson's, the Allen's, the
Speaker 4: justin fields like the random, like quarterbacks that go nuts,
Speaker 4: Joe Burrows, Jalen Hurts, like, how's it? How is Mahomes
Speaker 4: gonna get there? Yeah, he could get there with his legs,
Speaker 4: but the chances are a lot smaller than those guys
Speaker 4: they just mentioned outside of Burrow. So it's like, if
Speaker 4: Mahomes has that three hundred plus yard game and three tds,
Speaker 4: you want to have a Worthy, you want to have
Speaker 4: a Rice if.
Speaker 3: It's a Kelsey game.
Speaker 4: To me, it's just like I know I live by stacking,
Speaker 4: and people criticize me for that because I always always
Speaker 4: bring it up. But like seventh round Mahomes, I love,
Speaker 4: but you could mix in one of those guys and
Speaker 4: cheat the Kelsey's the Worthies and still have that chance
Speaker 4: to the ceiling that can get you to that top
Speaker 4: when it comes to Gorilla Championship.
Speaker 1: So, Turp, you're bringing up a lot of good points
Speaker 1: here my rebuttal to this, and not necessarily because I
Speaker 1: disagree with you, But couldn't you get a Worthy Mahomes stack? Okay?
Speaker 1: And I if Worthy misses and you still get Mahomes
Speaker 1: is their value in getting even in the big Grilla turner,
Speaker 1: which we're covering tonight. If you're down on Kelsey, isn't
Speaker 1: their value in a Mahomes Noah graystack later on? Is
Speaker 1: their value in a Mahomes Hollywood Brown stack? And I
Speaker 1: know you can build.
Speaker 4: You can build it one hundred different ways right at
Speaker 4: the end of the day, as long as it gets
Speaker 4: there when it comes to you know, some of these quarterbacks,
Speaker 4: like I've been very outspoken with Joe Burrow, if you're
Speaker 4: drafting Joe Burrow by himself, it makes no sense to me. Yeah, goodlie,
Speaker 4: will never make any sense to me because if you're
Speaker 4: trying to win a million dollars, if you're trying to
Speaker 4: win your league, hey, you.
Speaker 3: Can get there in any way possible.
Speaker 4: But if you're trying to win a million dollars and
Speaker 4: you have one entry or one hundred entries, drafting a
Speaker 4: guy like Joe Burrow by himself makes no sense to
Speaker 4: me because if he gets there, it's gonna be because
Speaker 4: of t Higgins or Jamar Chase.
Speaker 1: Dizzel pointing out too that Mahomes has not had all
Speaker 1: the weapons together at once until this year. He's now
Speaker 1: an eighth round quarterback. And I will say this too,
Speaker 1: Mahomes the last two years has finished as quarterback eleven
Speaker 1: and quarterback twelve. Before that, every single year as a starter,
Speaker 1: he was quarterback six or higher. And this is without
Speaker 1: running the problem that Chiefs are.
Speaker 4: They don't have to unleash the passing game because everything
Speaker 4: always falls in there.
Speaker 3: That's the hard part with the.
Speaker 1: Chief Oka Churp let me let this this, this is
Speaker 1: lazy analysis, but let me bring this up. How many
Speaker 1: games did the Chiefs win last year by like three
Speaker 1: or four points, by like one score? It was insane
Speaker 1: and for some and they went undefeated until there's like
Speaker 1: one or two games later on in the season. So
Speaker 1: like my lazy analysis on this just normal regression of
Speaker 1: the meme. I feel like they're not going to win
Speaker 1: those games. And that could cause more passing for Mahomes
Speaker 1: to Worthy to Rice to Kelsey to Gray to Hollywood
Speaker 1: Round to Pacheco to Richard Smith to all these different
Speaker 1: guys and and we could see that narrative playing up.
Speaker 1: But like you said, it's all about telling yourself a story.
Speaker 1: All right, here's what I want to do, uh, the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: We have We've had a wild ride with the Kansas
Speaker 1: City Chiefs tonight and I'm sure that the uh, the
Speaker 1: conversation is not over with yet, but I want to
Speaker 1: continue the conversation with our next guest. He is drafting
Speaker 1: out of the five Spot tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, you
Speaker 1: know him, you love him. He's been on this show
Speaker 1: show before. He is the owner of the Fantasy Sopranos
Speaker 1: franchise drafting at the five Spot Tonight. Steve g Steven Irgalos, Steve,
Speaker 1: welcome into the show. So glad to have you on. Man.
Speaker 1: How do you like your team? Through twelve rounds?
Speaker 3: I got what team?
Speaker 1: Are you? Real quick?
Speaker 4: Because I gotta stop out. I gotta jump out and
Speaker 4: get my son real quick. Team hop out this team,
Speaker 4: I want to hop out, but I want to I
Speaker 4: want to know his team first.
Speaker 1: Okay, team five, that's what we're talking about, Turf. I'll
Speaker 1: let you get your son and Steve and I will
Speaker 1: will take care of this. Yere Steve, welcome in your
Speaker 1: fresh off a Prescott strange Roshawn Johnson picks here in ten,
Speaker 1: eleven and twelve. Talk about the team as a whole
Speaker 1: as you navigate through round thirteen.
Speaker 10: So I forgot that I had I had registered for
Speaker 10: a main event so the first five rounds, I was drafted.
Speaker 9: A event also, so I was going back and forth
Speaker 9: on both of these. But I went a little different.
Speaker 10: I have a lot of tea, so I kind of
Speaker 10: I kind of like went a little different than my
Speaker 10: usual drafts.
Speaker 9: So I tried that diverse bile. Let me take this pick.
Speaker 1: Here's yes, Steve is on the clock right now. This
Speaker 1: is round where.
Speaker 9: We're gonna go.
Speaker 7: Here.
Speaker 1: Let's see, he has already got Prescott a quarterback. He's
Speaker 1: got Strange a tight end, loaded up on receivers early
Speaker 1: on with Rice Garrett Wilson, Jamison Williams, Pickens, and a
Speaker 1: lave no shorter running backs on this team too, as
Speaker 1: he went with Jamior Gibbs in the first round at TN,
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams Charbonnet, and of course Roshawn Johnson in the twelfth.
Speaker 1: He is on the clock here in the thirteenth round again,
Speaker 1: could go any which way, even quarterback here, Steve, what
Speaker 1: are you looking at here?
Speaker 10: I'm torn between Drake may or maybe taking one more,
Speaker 10: taking Breshard Smith.
Speaker 9: I'm kind of in between.
Speaker 10: I might go with the running back because I have
Speaker 10: another quarterback on my grab later, so I think I'm I'm.
Speaker 9: Trying to catch up.
Speaker 10: I took Gibbs, which I don't have a lot of,
Speaker 10: so I'm trying to move guys.
Speaker 9: I don't have much of Rossie Rice. I barely had
Speaker 9: any of.
Speaker 10: So I took him in the second round because you know,
Speaker 10: I'm hearing that he's pretty healthy and he was really
Speaker 10: good last year.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm fine with the rice pick and the toy.
Speaker 1: He is getting expensive. But when you consider what he
Speaker 1: did in twenty twenty four while he was healthy, I mean,
Speaker 1: the sky's the limit. And if you know, he was
Speaker 1: on pace for a fifteen hundred plus yard season receiving
Speaker 1: wise for Kansas City, and I see no reason why
Speaker 1: he can't have the ceiling of that again in this year.
Speaker 1: But I think what's interesting here, you could have gone
Speaker 1: any which way because you were balanced after rounds one
Speaker 1: and two you had Gibbs and Rice, but you pounded
Speaker 1: the receivers in rounds three through six. Do you see
Speaker 1: a value in that position in those era, in that
Speaker 1: specific area of big earl of drafts right.
Speaker 10: Now, Steve So, Garrett Wilson might start being one of
Speaker 10: my most drafted players.
Speaker 9: I think I'm taking the other night. I took him
Speaker 9: in the Best Bowl.
Speaker 10: I mean, I just have a lot of them. I
Speaker 10: think he's gonna have a lot of work. Yeah, he's
Speaker 10: gonna get a lot of targets. So I figured let
Speaker 10: me build that way and Jamison Williams I took in
Speaker 10: the fourth, which I might have reached a little bit on,
Speaker 10: but I there's a non zero chance as you say that,
Speaker 10: that offense changed a little bit and he breaks out.
Speaker 10: He already started breaking out last year, not on on
Speaker 10: on volume, but you know, just on on pure yards
Speaker 10: per catch. So I'm into Williams pickins. I was playing
Speaker 10: on trying to grab Dak later maybe put that little
Speaker 10: hook up together and Olave.
Speaker 9: You know, he's a crap shoot.
Speaker 10: If he doesn't get hurt, if he doesn't get another concussion,
Speaker 10: I mean, I'm getting him in the sixth round.
Speaker 9: He should be going in. He's a third round pick.
Speaker 9: I mean he should be he should be going a
Speaker 9: lot higher. So I took a little gamble on the
Speaker 9: wide receivers.
Speaker 10: I feel it drops off a little bit after that,
Speaker 10: and then I just took a couple of shots with
Speaker 10: Travis atn Javonte Williams. I think they're both going to
Speaker 10: be the number ones, and I took a shot with
Speaker 10: them and char Berney. I just think Walker can't stay healthy.
Speaker 10: So if I'm gonna take a shot at a at
Speaker 10: a cuff, that's my guy.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot certain pack here. I took Pickens
Speaker 1: in the Scots Bowl recently and I'm I'm like, that's
Speaker 1: more of a fomo pick where I understand the ceiling
Speaker 1: that he has with Prescott, who I believe, who I
Speaker 1: believe in this year. I believe in the Dallas passing offense.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people just automatically assume it's
Speaker 1: going to be a heavy running attack with Schottenheimer. I
Speaker 1: don't think that's going to be the case. I think
Speaker 1: its wheels up for Lamb, Prescott, and Pickens this year.
Speaker 1: So and A love is great too because he's your
Speaker 1: number five receiver. You know if he has to start great,
Speaker 1: you love it because he's available. And if he's not,
Speaker 1: you still have Pickens, Whiskey, Bill, Garrett, Wilson and Rice,
Speaker 1: which I love too. Let's focus. I want to focus
Speaker 1: my next question here on Travis etn. You think he's
Speaker 1: going to be the number one in Jacksonville? Does that mean,
Speaker 1: you've been avoiding guys like Michelle Touton, guys like Tank
Speaker 1: Bigsby and that Etn you think has fallen too far
Speaker 1: in big guerrilla drafts.
Speaker 9: Well, usually he goes in the eighth round.
Speaker 10: That reached a little on him too, But I have
Speaker 10: I've had a lot of basial touton and now I've
Speaker 10: you know, I've kind of they've kind of he kind
Speaker 10: of caught up to a ten. So I shifted a
Speaker 10: little bit to get Atn. My thought, my thoughts are is,
Speaker 10: you know, he's going to get the work. Tudents might
Speaker 10: get the work also, but I just think that he
Speaker 10: might start off as the number one I don't have
Speaker 10: any real Tank bigs v shares, So I'm.
Speaker 9: Going between the two of them.
Speaker 10: I'm rolling the dice and hoping one of those guys
Speaker 10: hits Javonte Williams, which I took next. I mean that backfield,
Speaker 10: you know that we don't know what to make of that.
Speaker 10: But Javante maybe a guy that gets back to form
Speaker 10: this year, So I took a stab at him.
Speaker 1: Also, are you so just kind of piggybacking on that?
Speaker 1: Are you more likely to take Javonte Williams at cost
Speaker 1: over Jaden Blue at cost.
Speaker 10: I took a lot of Jaden Blue early where he
Speaker 10: was going a lot later pre draft, I took a
Speaker 10: lot of Jaden Blue, or I was getting him in
Speaker 10: the fifteen, sixteen, seventeenth rounds.
Speaker 9: I don't even remember. I've kind of backed off of
Speaker 9: Blue a little bit.
Speaker 10: I don't think I've taken him in one main event yet,
Speaker 10: so I'm kind of took Gavante a little bit.
Speaker 9: Now. I'm just kind of balancing back and forth.
Speaker 10: Because I have so many teams, I have to try
Speaker 10: to balance my exposure.
Speaker 9: So I was on Mojo.
Speaker 10: Today and I'm like, wow, I'm a little unbalanced on
Speaker 10: certain things. So I'm trying to you know, That's why
Speaker 10: I took Rossie Rice in the second round obviously for me,
Speaker 10: obviously because I needed them. I didn't have really any
Speaker 10: shares of them, and I wasn't really crazy about mcconki,
Speaker 10: not that I don't like them, I just think that
Speaker 10: in the second round, I think the price is too high.
Speaker 10: So I figured, you know, I was hoping an Ico
Speaker 10: Collins was going to drop to the next pick. I
Speaker 10: would have taken Ego Collins Baby, but didn't work out.
Speaker 1: That way. The last thing I want to say is
Speaker 1: you waited on I should say the last thing. I'll
Speaker 1: have one more question for you. You waited on tight end
Speaker 1: until round eleven here in getting Brenton Strange. Have you,
Speaker 1: because I know you draft a lot of leagues FFPCKFFFC,
Speaker 1: have you historically been waiting on tight end this year?
Speaker 1: Because Strange was the sixteenth tight end off their board
Speaker 1: and he's your number one tight end.
Speaker 9: I mean yes and no.
Speaker 10: I mean, if I can get Bowers or McBride in
Speaker 10: the right spot, maybe I like TJ Hockinson. I took
Speaker 10: it quite a bit of him. After that, I kind
Speaker 10: of the board was going a different way. I wanted
Speaker 10: to take Tyler Warren. He got taken. So I think
Speaker 10: Brenton Strange is going to actually, I mean, I don't
Speaker 10: know what to make a Travis Hunter, but I mean
Speaker 10: he has he has a lot of draft capital.
Speaker 9: I think it was what his second round pick. I
Speaker 9: like these Penn State tight ends.
Speaker 10: So I was waiting on Brenton Strange, and you know,
Speaker 10: I'm going to try to piece together a couple more
Speaker 10: tight ends here because it is tight end premium, and
Speaker 10: I really haven't done much.
Speaker 9: So let's hope. Let's hope a couple of guys I
Speaker 9: want to drop to me I might be able.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, like, if history is any
Speaker 1: guide with our experience in KFFSC this year, I have
Speaker 1: a feeling I know which one of those side that's
Speaker 1: you're you're focusing on and you have got You've gotten
Speaker 1: them in every single league that you and I have
Speaker 1: been in together.
Speaker 10: I gotta tell you, I was looking at Mojo today,
Speaker 10: I'm like, wow, I have a lot of this guy.
Speaker 10: I have a lot of this guys, and you know's
Speaker 10: what con that's good? You know, if it actually comes through,
Speaker 10: I mean I look like a genius. But I will say,
Speaker 10: I will say, you're gonna get You're gonna give me
Speaker 10: a little.
Speaker 9: Bit of credit. I'm just gonna take him now. Anyways,
Speaker 9: I need a tight.
Speaker 1: End BYO Johnson is what we're talking about.
Speaker 10: Yeah, you're gonna give me a little bit of credit
Speaker 10: with Cedric Tilman because now all the pungits out there,
Speaker 10: all the pros are all on Cedric Tillman value value value.
Speaker 9: So Tillman was Tilman.
Speaker 10: I think, you know, hopefully he stays healthy because he's had,
Speaker 10: you know, some injury problems in the past.
Speaker 9: Hopefully he stays healthy.
Speaker 10: Him and Theo Johnson, could you know, win me five
Speaker 10: thousand bucks at all my investments?
Speaker 1: You know it's it's uh, there's a non zero chance
Speaker 1: of it and uh and I look forward to succeeding
Speaker 1: that happened, Steve. I can't wait to see the prototypes
Speaker 1: that you have come through with the it's going on
Speaker 1: tomorrow so perfect it So Steve has put together some
Speaker 1: ice staks, fantasy football or T shirts featuring myself and
Speaker 1: Farrell on him, and I can't wait to see him.
Speaker 1: We may or may not have them in a live
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. Uh for for HSF I were listeners
Speaker 1: out there as well. We'll see how that happens. And Steve,
Speaker 1: the other thing I have to ask you, and and
Speaker 1: I've never asked you this on air, and you've been
Speaker 1: very polite when I've talked to you about this, both
Speaker 1: on and off air. The Diesel wants to know, why
Speaker 1: do I not pronounce the the G in your first name?
Speaker 1: Am I pronouncing your last thing? Right? Is that? Here? Gods?
Speaker 10: If you were Greek in Greek, it's correct like a
Speaker 10: hy So you know, I know you're not Greek, but
Speaker 10: the Greek's pronounce it is.
Speaker 1: A why you know?
Speaker 6: So?
Speaker 10: So how when he comes back, because the other night
Speaker 10: I was I was doing the live draft and we're
Speaker 10: talking about Cardi B. Telling when he comes to New York,
Speaker 10: I'm gonna bring I'm gonna have Cardi B come out
Speaker 10: of retirement of being a stripper and give him a
Speaker 10: lap dance.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, mister, I mean.
Speaker 9: He got off their the only reason like Donald did
Speaker 9: was to mess with him.
Speaker 10: But it's okay, all.
Speaker 1: Right, walk off here right now. Uh, Steve, you're on
Speaker 1: the clock. Here at the fifteen to five. Who's the
Speaker 1: pick here?
Speaker 10: After THEO Johnson, I'm going to take another dark throw here,
Speaker 10: here's the dot throw.
Speaker 1: Ja Cory Krofsky merrit. I love it, man, it's all
Speaker 1: upside here trying to win a million bucks. That's the
Speaker 1: type of player that will uh, that will do it.

Speaker 1: I said, I alluded to this earlier. Uh, Steve and
Speaker 1: I have been in a ton of kffs, C and
Speaker 1: seeming and I know he likes THEO Johnson. I like
Speaker 1: THEO Johnson. The reason that I have not gotten enough
Speaker 1: THEO Johnson is because Steve keeps taking him on me,
Speaker 1: which happens. It's cool, it's it's fine. I just got
Speaker 1: to be better at it going forward. Speaking of getting
Speaker 1: better at it, let's bring on yet another guest tonight,
Speaker 1: In fact, two of them tonight. They are drafting tonight
Speaker 1: from the let's see what spot would this be? The
Speaker 1: eleven spot? Yeah, the eleven spot tonight km k B
Speaker 1: G one. We are bringing on one David Krubski and
Speaker 1: one Ken Hill and Brand. Guys, welcome into the program tonight.
Speaker 1: I know you're about to come on the clock here,
Speaker 1: but just through fourteen rounds? How do you like your squad?
Speaker 6: Who do you cut sauce here?
Speaker 1: Late? Well, listen, it's Friday night. It happens you're about
Speaker 1: to be on the clock here. But I I think
Speaker 1: the build is interesting. You guys gotta like the build
Speaker 1: here too.
Speaker 3: Is he talking to us?
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm talking to you. You're at the eleven, right,
Speaker 1: aren't you at the eleven?
Speaker 9: At the six?
Speaker 1: With this? Oh god, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: Got it. This is a this is a this is
Speaker 1: my bad, this is this is guys a j who
Speaker 1: is drafting with you tonight.
Speaker 11: This is Paul and Kalke. You probably know his dad.
Speaker 11: He's had some some success in some of these leagues.
Speaker 1: Okay, perfect, I am so sorry. I got I get
Speaker 1: when turt listen, when Turf's not on with me, everything
Speaker 1: goes to pot. Okay, you're at the six spot tonight.
Speaker 1: You waited on tight end till the six. You waited
Speaker 1: on quarterback until the thirteen. You've you've doubled up on
Speaker 1: tight end, You've loaded up on receiver to start. There's
Speaker 1: obviously a good running back stable here, guys, AJ take
Speaker 1: me through this. Uh, how you feel about your team
Speaker 1: here at six? Yeah, I mean we we really like
Speaker 1: to start. I think we did.
Speaker 11: We didn't plan to start all wide receiver, but just
Speaker 11: I think kind of getting some value there and then
Speaker 11: just kind of kind of from there, needing to get
Speaker 11: some green on the board. And then you know, some
Speaker 11: some quarterbacks went that we were looking at and just
Speaker 11: kind of kind of playing it and fill on the
Speaker 11: board from there.
Speaker 1: Was the plan. I mean, did you guys, because you
Speaker 1: knew obviously you were drafting six several days beforehand, did
Speaker 1: did you guys feel like, hey, this could be a
Speaker 1: heavy wide receiver build Initially?
Speaker 12: You know, originally we didn't. We thought we were gonna
Speaker 12: end up with either Gibbs or Barkley. And then honestly,
Speaker 12: one thing we were talking about today was we were
Speaker 12: pick what nineteen and we loved eighteen.
Speaker 3: Guys, as it usually is.
Speaker 12: You know, there's one there, the perfect amount goo right
Speaker 12: before you, and I think it was Hudson's AJ Brown
Speaker 12: pick that gave us Nico. Not that we don't like
Speaker 12: AJ Brown, It's just like we love those eighteen guys,
Speaker 12: So we liked that there, and then we were just
Speaker 12: praying for Tyreek back if he didn't get back to us.
Speaker 12: I gotta be honest, Bulky, we we didn't know what
Speaker 12: we were gonna do. But other than that, yeah, I
Speaker 12: mean we something really weird. We didn't We're really expecting Trayvon,
Speaker 12: Like we never really talked about him, but we were
Speaker 12: kind of just thinking upside there with four pretty solid
Speaker 12: wide outs there and then kind of build it after
Speaker 12: Montgomery with such as such a stable back.
Speaker 1: Okay, so this is interesting because I have so many
Speaker 1: follow ups to this. You were praying for Tyreek Hill
Speaker 1: to come back to you in the third round. I
Speaker 1: know that he's been kind of a schizophrenic pick in
Speaker 1: the f f PC big Gerrilla in the f FPC
Speaker 1: main event here over the last two or three weeks
Speaker 1: or so. Why are you guys team Tyreek Hill this year?
Speaker 12: Yeah? Well, you know, I'm very pro on. I mean,
Speaker 12: I love Tyreek. I just think people don't notice.
Speaker 10: And A.
Speaker 3: J and I we were owners of a Chaine and.
Speaker 12: A lot of wattle last year and we felt the
Speaker 12: Tyler Huntley for a eight weeks and we understand that
Speaker 12: people got to look past that, and I think Tyreek,
Speaker 12: I think I looked it up. I think he averaged
Speaker 12: like sixteen with two of last year, so I think
Speaker 12: people were just forgetting how good he really is. And
Speaker 12: I think, I mean, think about it, Bulky, he was
Speaker 12: wide out two twenty twenty two and then wide out
Speaker 12: three and twenty twenty three. If he has a full
Speaker 12: a full season with two, I think he could be
Speaker 12: he should be a first round pick.
Speaker 1: Scoops on Beverly coming up. I'll take a pause here
Speaker 1: from asking about your team. You guys are on the
Speaker 1: cock here at he's sixteen oh seven, pretty well balanced
Speaker 1: all the way around. What are you guys thinking here?
Speaker 3: Man, that's that's a great question.
Speaker 11: I think we're they're just looking at, you know, kind
Speaker 11: of best available, can kind of really go in any
Speaker 11: any direction here if anyone kind of sticks out, and.
Speaker 12: I gotta be honest, no one's really sticking out.
Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing I mean here, Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: I don't know who you're considering, but like you're talking
Speaker 1: about the sixteenth round, you're trying to win a million bucks,
Speaker 1: thousands of teams you're competing against I would look at
Speaker 1: the guy that you like, that that has the upside
Speaker 1: of being a potential league winner. Here he's probably not
Speaker 1: gonna be a league winner, but you have to look
Speaker 1: at league winners at this point in the draft, because,
Speaker 1: let's face it, we're in the sixteenth round. A lot
Speaker 1: of this a lot of these players for the rest
Speaker 1: of the way are going to be turned a roster
Speaker 1: turned throughout the season. Well it's Jaron Wall.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think your upside league winner just got me
Speaker 12: there in my pain. I don't see friar move. Yeah,
Speaker 12: I mean that's it. I mean, who knows. We have
Speaker 12: Hill so you never know. But I think you know,
Speaker 12: the names on the board, like a Friar move, Juwan Johnson,
Speaker 12: like they're not going to really get you anything. Where
Speaker 12: we were we were deciding to between Chig and if
Speaker 12: going back to earlier in our draft here and you
Speaker 12: were on with Hudson. Hudson he stole Tyler Warren from
Speaker 12: us Bulky. We we were screaming, Hudson, don't take them.
Speaker 12: So we kind of got we We kind of just
Speaker 12: fell that Jordan Mason just because we needed the back.
Speaker 12: So we're kind of scrambling here on tight end, but
Speaker 12: we like the upside at Chig and then you never
Speaker 12: know with Waller.
Speaker 1: So he came out of retirement really quick. Yeah he did,
Speaker 1: and he said he'd only played for the Dolphins. Take
Speaker 1: that for what it's worth. I don't know the other
Speaker 1: thing I wanted to ask you guys. Yes, the other
Speaker 1: thing I wanted to ask you guys, DK Metcalf at
Speaker 1: the four oh seven I have heard from plenty abundance
Speaker 1: out there that Metcalf is not the type of receiver
Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers likes to throw to. Metcalf is more
Speaker 1: of an improvising route runner where Rogers requires precision. You
Speaker 1: guys are still believers in Metcalf on the Steelers offense
Speaker 1: with Rogers throwing to him. Can you sell me and
Speaker 1: sell the viewers on Dk Metcalf as a guy that
Speaker 1: you want to look at in the fourth round of
Speaker 1: Big Grilla drafts.
Speaker 11: Yeah. We're from Pittsburgh, so we were a little red
Speaker 11: into the DK and he I had Garrett Wilson last
Speaker 11: year as well, so I'm familiar with Rogers as the
Speaker 11: quarterback and how DK's not his stereotypical you know widers
Speaker 11: here with the separation, but I just I just personally
Speaker 11: think that, you know, they did just get John Smith,
Speaker 11: but there's still I think, you know, it's like a
Speaker 11: Calvin Austin is going to be your wide receiver to there.
Speaker 11: So I think there's a pretty clear path. It's the volume.
Speaker 11: And then Paul was giving me some pushback today about
Speaker 11: you know, does Arthur Smith agree that there's a clear
Speaker 11: path the volume there? And I said, I mean, you
Speaker 11: didn't pay dk metcalf one hundred and thirty two million dollars,
Speaker 11: you know, in that extension to come here and run block.
Speaker 11: In my opinion, I think this is Rogers he says
Speaker 11: his last hurrah here. I think he's gonna get his
Speaker 11: one hundred and thirty two million dollar receiver of the ball.
Speaker 11: And I told Paul my hot take is, I don't
Speaker 11: think next you know, there's a good chance that if
Speaker 11: the Steelers offense is efficient enough, which who knows, but
Speaker 11: if if they are, Dk Metcalf I think could lead
Speaker 11: you know, the league and red zone targets.
Speaker 1: I think him and London are kind.
Speaker 11: Of going to be comparable guys in that you know,
Speaker 11: red zone, because I think London was an absolute beast
Speaker 11: in the red zone target wise last year.
Speaker 3: I kind of see DK.
Speaker 1: You guys are on the clock here in the seventeenth
Speaker 1: round final walk off question, guys, AJ, Paul, who's it
Speaker 1: going to be here?
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think we're going to go to the hometown
Speaker 12: Pittsburgh Steelers defense here at Paul Key.
Speaker 1: I thought you're gonna say, Bos. I'm glad to hear
Speaker 1: it was the Steelers defense. That's that's excellent, excellent, So
Speaker 1: Pitch we might end up with, but we don't want
Speaker 1: to tell her.
Speaker 6: We don't want to tell our other league mates that though.
Speaker 1: Guys, I'll let you know. Neil O'Donnell lineus Swede still
Speaker 1: available in this draft too if you want to go down.
Speaker 1: But like whatever it is. Thank you so much for
Speaker 1: hopping a board tonight. I'm so sorry this identified you
Speaker 1: I got. I'm spinning way too many plates here, AJ
Speaker 1: and Paul, thank you so much for hopping aboard tonight.
Speaker 1: This was a treat. Good luck in the rest of
Speaker 1: this draft, and good luck and drafting season as well.
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for being a part of the High
Speaker 1: Sekes Fantasy Football Hour this evening.
Speaker 3: No, thank you, Bob, you do a great job.
Speaker 1: We watch them all the time. Yes, thank you. I
Speaker 1: appreciate at that scoops on Beverly Baby. It is a
Speaker 1: J and Paul hanging out with us here tonight as
Speaker 1: I bring Turp back in tonight, Turp is your son
Speaker 1: for a couple of minutes and you start butchering things' sterle,
Speaker 1: it was absolutely.
Speaker 4: My son is back asleep. It was a frantic rundown,
Speaker 4: steps and get his bottle real quick.
Speaker 1: But he's back to sleep, just real quick. I mean
Speaker 1: we were just talking with with AJ and Paul here
Speaker 1: with this Darren Waller pick. I picked him in a
Speaker 1: Best Ball draft late I listen, I would not call
Speaker 1: him a league winner. Is there value in Waller with
Speaker 1: that Dolphins offense this year with no John new Smith?
Speaker 4: I don't think so personally, but it's I mean, where
Speaker 4: he's being drafted, it's worth a shot, especially in a
Speaker 4: big grill draft because let's just say the hamstrings don't
Speaker 4: hold up and everything goes a little hay wire.
Speaker 3: You just caught the guy.
Speaker 4: I mean, and in Best ball's a little bit more
Speaker 4: dangerous because you could easily see a path where you
Speaker 4: know it just doesn't work out for him. He goes
Speaker 4: back in the rap game. So It's just he's a
Speaker 4: guy that I'll have a little bit of, but I
Speaker 4: don't think it'll be a lot.
Speaker 3: But where he's being drafted in these big grilla drafts,
Speaker 3: why not why not think a shot?
Speaker 1: Yeah, the other thing I wanted to ask you, as
Speaker 1: long as we're talking about Dolphins, you made a bold
Speaker 1: claim on Wednesday night, and maybe not so bold for
Speaker 1: a lot of FFPC players that we're I'm sure we're
Speaker 1: with you on this, but you and Aiden McCory and
Speaker 1: Brian Drake covering an FFPC Bestball Tournament draft, you said
Speaker 1: you would take Devon a Chan over Jamir Gibbs this year.
Speaker 1: And I have heard I wouldn't say a ground swell,
Speaker 1: but I've been listening to you know, Pat Korean, Scott Barrett,
Speaker 1: you know, and some of these other guys that are
Speaker 1: kind of warming up to a Chan this year despite
Speaker 1: sort of the Dolphins offense. I think most of us
Speaker 1: believe moving in the opposite direction. Why are you pro
Speaker 1: a Chan this year? And talk about sort of the
Speaker 1: Dolphins offense in general. You know, we just talked about
Speaker 1: Darren Waller being picked. We haven't talked about Tyreek Hill
Speaker 1: and Jalen Watall getting drafted tonight.
Speaker 4: Either, let's just look at the obvious two. As the quarterback,
Speaker 4: he's gonna get a ton of targets. John new Smith
Speaker 4: not being there, He's gonna get a ton of targets.
Speaker 4: You know, it's just wild, it's just hill Like it's
Speaker 4: it's hard not to like a chain and see what
Speaker 4: we obviously see in the A chain ceiling we've seen,
Speaker 4: you know, in a bigger scale, what he could really do.
Speaker 4: He's a forty point week upside. How many guys has
Speaker 4: to have that upside? Ashton Gent does he have a
Speaker 4: forty point week upside? I don't think so. The receivers
Speaker 4: that are being drafted right around him, I don't think so.
Speaker 4: Devon a Chin is a guy that you're getting drafted
Speaker 4: at the end of the first round. I think he's
Speaker 4: gonna start moving up a little bit. To me, he's
Speaker 4: a if I'm drafting, I'm drafting him right after CD Lamb,
Speaker 4: like literally right after there.
Speaker 3: I think that's as high as he should go.
Speaker 4: I'm taking him over Jamier Gibbs, not because I don't
Speaker 4: like Jamior Gibbs. I love Jamiir Gibbs as the player,
Speaker 4: but you know, you have Dave Montgomery, you have a
Speaker 4: new offensive coordinator. There's a lot of questions, more with
Speaker 4: Gibbs than to me there are with a Chain. You know,
Speaker 4: Chain's guaranteed to get that he's gonna if two is
Speaker 4: a quarterback, even if he's not the toar of quarterback,
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna be fine. But if two is
Speaker 4: a quarterback, he's gonna get a ton of targets and
Speaker 4: the game breaking ability that he still has. To me,
Speaker 4: I mean, there's not many guys who can say have
Speaker 4: like overall number one upside.
Speaker 3: To me, a Chan has that.
Speaker 4: He's one of my favorite picks, you know, I you know,
Speaker 4: I just I just love him at the end of
Speaker 4: the of the first round, the first round, in the
Speaker 4: first round, it's a It's a real nice spot to
Speaker 4: be this year in my opinion.
Speaker 1: So Tom Smith, who was the Young Youngs franchise drafting
Speaker 1: at the twelve spot tonight, a resident Dolphins fan, he
Speaker 1: said he led running backs and receptions last year with
Speaker 1: seventy eight. We also have seen the dizzle pipe in
Speaker 1: with with eh Chan, his upside maybe not seeing the
Speaker 1: total ceiling. Twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four scoring
Speaker 1: for Ehan was different for different His scoring was different
Speaker 1: for different reasons. If it happens, if it all hits,
Speaker 1: he could be peak c everything's in.
Speaker 4: If everything's a story that you tell yourself, right, everybody's
Speaker 4: telling us story with Christian McCaffrey this year.
Speaker 3: Let's just call it what it is.
Speaker 4: He was an early early big girl, a drafty were
Speaker 4: game in the second round. Now you had sniff him
Speaker 4: in the second round maybe one draft out of every fifty.
Speaker 4: He's a first round locked in pick. But everybody's telling
Speaker 4: the story about the upside.
Speaker 3: That he possesses.
Speaker 4: Obviously when he was dominating fantasy football. And to me,
Speaker 4: a Chane has that ability to have that you know
Speaker 4: ceiling that see that Christian McCaffrey does. So I don't know,
Speaker 4: I'm just really really bullish on a Chane. It's hard
Speaker 4: to be bullish on a guy who's in the first
Speaker 4: or second round. But he's just the guy that I've
Speaker 4: loved since he came out, drafted a ton of him
Speaker 4: all the years, and just it's not gonna stop this year.
Speaker 1: David Krupsky, who I can guarantee you is drafting from
Speaker 1: the eleven spot tonight which I screwed up before, along
Speaker 1: with Ken Hill and brand Devon h Chan on YouTube,
Speaker 1: he's telling us this devon a Chan average almost seven
Speaker 1: targets game with two a tongue of by Golo and
Speaker 1: less than two without a tongue of by Lowell, which
Speaker 1: is weird turf because you would think like tongue of
Speaker 1: b I Loo. Well, maybe it's not that weird because
Speaker 1: they want to They put the pocus on again this year,
Speaker 1: getting the ball out of tongue by Lowe's hand as
Speaker 1: soon as possible, a stat that I believe he led
Speaker 1: the league in last year with qualified pass attempts, and
Speaker 1: now they want to get it out even sooner. To me,
Speaker 1: and the fact that Janieu Smith is now in Pittsburgh,
Speaker 1: this is like wheels up for eight Chan. So I
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm on board with you a Chan
Speaker 1: better than Gibbs, but I will say this, if a
Speaker 1: Chan finishes better than Gibbs this year would not surprise
Speaker 1: me in the least.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of crazy takes that are out there
Speaker 4: on Yeah, I don't think it's crazy. I mean talking
Speaker 4: about and first and a turn pick. I mean a
Speaker 4: guy who's going in the first, you know, second early,
Speaker 4: second round. It's not like it's like I'm saying like that,
Speaker 4: you know, Kevin Neil's going to finish better than than
Speaker 4: Jamier Gibbs, Like that's just like certifiably nuts. But you
Speaker 4: know it's it's just you know, a take that I'm
Speaker 4: pretty excited on it. And a lot of people are saying, like,
Speaker 4: how many teams have Gibbs and e Chan You can't
Speaker 4: get that anymore. You could get that early if you're
Speaker 4: been drafting periods.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I only yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker 4: I don't think that that possibility is happening anymore to
Speaker 4: where you can get both of those guys. And if
Speaker 4: you can, you better be really excited because I haven't
Speaker 4: seen in the last couple of drafts I've done a
Speaker 4: change get passed the second round, you know, the second round,
Speaker 4: second pick. He's pretty much locked into that, like turn
Speaker 4: one or two picks after, and that's probably it. If
Speaker 4: you drafted early, you probably got a little lucky when
Speaker 4: it comes to Gibbs. Eight chain starts or maybe you
Speaker 4: know McCaffrey a chain or lamb Ay chain.
Speaker 3: Things like that.
Speaker 4: But I think those days are over, especially because Johnny
Speaker 4: Smiths out of town.
Speaker 3: It's just more targets, you know, for a chain the material.
Speaker 1: Ska Kiss Demitrio Ska Kiss, who is drafting tonight from
Speaker 1: the eighth spot, said, what pick do you have to
Speaker 1: get to get both Gibbs and a Chan and like
Speaker 1: earlier in the season, I don't know, like late first round,
Speaker 1: you know, mid first round. I think you could have
Speaker 1: done it. You can anymore obviously, which which and maybe
Speaker 1: that change. I mean, this is why we encourage everybody
Speaker 1: to draft early and draft often, because the ADP shifts
Speaker 1: and you can find values whether you're drafting in February, March, April, miss.
Speaker 4: No matter what, there's certain guys that are gonna get
Speaker 4: Like right now, there's a pocket for a guy like JSN.
Speaker 4: Jsn's a guy that, like ye are like people were
Speaker 4: really like, oh, he's a third round pick. He's an
Speaker 4: early third round pick. Now he's starting to slip to
Speaker 4: the fourth to where he's being a little more appetizing.
Speaker 1: RJ.
Speaker 4: Harvey is another guy early on getting hyped up, hyped up,
Speaker 4: piped up before JK. Dobbins fourth round, third round in
Speaker 4: some drafts. Now he's like moving to the fifth and sixth,
Speaker 4: which is really really fun to draft. It makes a
Speaker 4: ton of sense to get him there. There's a ton
Speaker 4: of guys that are like just fall in those pockets
Speaker 4: that like, if you're fans of those guys, you should
Speaker 4: be drafting a ton of teams right now.
Speaker 1: So uh, Dizzel pointing out that there's fourteen total teams
Speaker 1: in the Big Gorilla so far with both Jamior, Gibbs
Speaker 1: and de Briny.
Speaker 3: And most of them are probably really really early.
Speaker 1: Probably early. Yeah, now, will that that hold up? I
Speaker 1: don't know. You you certainly like it right now? Will
Speaker 1: you like it in October? Will you like it November?
Speaker 9: Maybe?
Speaker 1: Maybe not? You never know. Uh, Turp, I want to
Speaker 1: bring in one one more guest here tonight, and I
Speaker 1: am one officially sure that I'm bringing in the right
Speaker 1: guests for the h K n K BG one franchise.
Speaker 1: He is the one, the only He is the David
Speaker 1: Krupski who is drafting out of the eleven hole tonight. David,
Speaker 1: welcome in. You are coming up on your final pick
Speaker 1: of the draft. I'll let you make it right now.
Speaker 1: This is obviously going to be a yeah, give us
Speaker 1: then to.
Speaker 13: Make that moment, give us in round ten, but I
Speaker 13: figure you guys would make fun of me about it.
Speaker 1: I would have. We had a couple of years ago
Speaker 1: in the f FPC main event, we had a guy
Speaker 1: who wanted to draft in the main and didn't have
Speaker 1: the cash, but he had Seinfeld tickets to see Jerry
Speaker 1: Seinfeld at Caesar's Palace, and he said, could I trade
Speaker 1: these in for a Maine event entry? And we said sure,
Speaker 1: And then so Alex Kagan, a co founder of the FFPC,
Speaker 1: announced that everybody was drafting that night. I said, Okay,
Speaker 1: whoever drafts the first kicker of well, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know how many. We had twenty some live drafts
Speaker 1: going on at that time. So whoever drafts the first
Speaker 1: kicker gets these first Seinfeld tickets and lo and behold,
Speaker 1: somebody drafted Justin Tucker in like the ninth or tenth
Speaker 1: route that night, just so we could see Jerry Seinfeld.
Speaker 1: Well I don't know if he ever has but I'm
Speaker 1: just saying like he did that night, and it was
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. And I don't know if his
Speaker 1: team won anything, but that could not be the case
Speaker 1: for David Krepski's team tonight. David, you obviously like your
Speaker 1: team from the eleventh spot, can you tell us how
Speaker 1: you thought it was going to turn out to how
Speaker 1: it actually did turn out, What were your expectations and
Speaker 1: what was the end result here? Sure?
Speaker 13: So, Actually, my buddy Kenny, he and I we were
Speaker 13: facetiming earlier and we met earlier today to kind of
Speaker 13: go through and game plan, and we really liked Hm,
Speaker 13: we like Thomas, we like you know, Puka. We were
Speaker 13: kind of seeing like, who's gonna fall to us? And
Speaker 13: actually when CMC didn't go at ten, we were thinking,
Speaker 13: you know, m like, is he going to be there?
Speaker 9: Can we pass on him?
Speaker 13: That would have been hard. So then I honestly then
Speaker 13: it went a Chan and then Kenny really wanted Thomas.
Speaker 13: But but obviously when he went with Yum Yums, then
Speaker 13: we saw Janty sitting there like that was not someone
Speaker 13: we were even really considering, but we just we felt
Speaker 13: that we just couldn't couldn't steer away from that. And
Speaker 13: then when it came back, we did want Evans, and
Speaker 13: we took the risk of taking Lamar versus Evans, and
Speaker 13: you know, it's it's the way sometimes it works out.
Speaker 13: But but we we were hoping that maybe Evans would
Speaker 13: fall back to us, but we took JSN, so we
Speaker 13: weren't really planning necessarily on you know, one particular strategy.
Speaker 13: Right when you're at the back end of the board,
Speaker 13: you kind of just take what's given to you and
Speaker 13: then you start to play forward. And pairing up Lamar
Speaker 13: with Zay was nice. It fell to us, and now
Speaker 13: we have the hookup going forward and not always looking
Speaker 13: for that in in manage leagues, but for this this case,
Speaker 13: we we like that it fell to us.
Speaker 1: And you know the other thing with Lamar Jackson you
Speaker 1: get a ZAA likely a little bit later too. So
Speaker 1: if anything happens to Andrews or what have you, you
Speaker 1: have the likely Ja Flowers of Lamar Jackson pairing or
Speaker 1: not pairing, but trio whatever that is. Can you talk
Speaker 1: a little bit about the peer Saw pick and I
Speaker 1: have to look at this was Juwan Jennings. Where did
Speaker 1: he go tonight? Was Was that ever a consideration for you,
Speaker 1: Pierre Saw versus Jennings at all?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 13: I mean Jennings, I was looking at the board right now.
Speaker 13: He went to seven point one, so I mean obviously
Speaker 13: he went a little bit earlier. We actually were kind
Speaker 13: of leaning towards Myers. If he'd have felt to us
Speaker 13: obviously would have given us one more week eight by,
Speaker 13: but it's fine, right what we'd manage it when we.
Speaker 1: Get to it.
Speaker 13: We were having a discussion of like pear Saw, Deebo,
Speaker 13: and Shakir and those are kind of the three, and
Speaker 13: we just felt that Peer Saw really showed a little
Speaker 13: bit down the stretch last year. Yes, there's obviously a
Speaker 13: risk that it was more of a flash in the
Speaker 13: pan and he's not really providing enough, you know, evidence
Speaker 13: to say that he can continue that. But you know,
Speaker 13: I probably not gonna be ready for the start of
Speaker 13: the season, and so you got Peer Saw. I mean,
Speaker 13: I think Kittle's a great pick too, you know, for
Speaker 13: anybody that takes him. But we just felt like, hey,
Speaker 13: this here's a young kid who's probably got some upside,
Speaker 13: and you know, at this point we're taking some shots.
Speaker 1: So final question here for you tonight, David, as we
Speaker 1: wrap up our coverage, when you look over all twenty
Speaker 1: picks of your draft tonight, tell us which pick was
Speaker 1: your favorite and why was it. Evan McPherson of the twentieth.
Speaker 13: I mean, I do like McPherson in the twentieth I
Speaker 13: love it, to be honest. I really liked the eighth
Speaker 13: HM pick. And I know that you guys were talking
Speaker 13: about before before I jumped in, and this is something
Speaker 13: that Kenny and I were talking today when we met,
Speaker 13: was that I just the upside there, especially with John
Speaker 13: Nenell gone, here's a lot of question marks with Waddle,
Speaker 13: you know, with two out, you know, we know that,
Speaker 13: you know, the McDaniel offense just really struggled, and so
Speaker 13: there's just someone's got to pick up the slack. Hill
Speaker 13: is going to run, you know, as in a straight line,
Speaker 13: probably faster than all three of us until he's eighty,
Speaker 13: what is he really still that top tier wide receiver,
Speaker 13: and so someone has to catch balls and it really
Speaker 13: it's going to be a chance. So that's why we
Speaker 13: really like that one. And then you know, Jant fall
Speaker 13: into us obviously was a nice little bonus. But really
Speaker 13: I think dave on ah Chan was kind of my
Speaker 13: favorite pick tonight.
Speaker 1: David, we certainly appreciate you hopping a board tonight, drafting
Speaker 1: out of the eleven spot for a million dollar grand prize.
Speaker 1: I like the draft. I think you highlighted some of
Speaker 1: my favorite picks already from your squad tonight from the
Speaker 1: eleven spot. Give my best to Ken and good luck
Speaker 1: man this season, not only in this draft, but the
Speaker 1: rest of the drafting season as well. A pleasure to
Speaker 1: have you aboard tonight.
Speaker 3: Appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Thanks guys, you got it. That is David Krupski drafting
Speaker 1: for the knk BG one team out of the eleven
Speaker 1: hole tonight and Turp. It was a fast draft tonight.
Speaker 1: Sometimes these big rollas half.
Speaker 3: The night were speed.
Speaker 1: I mean they're a little over an hour. Sometimes they
Speaker 1: last the better part of two hours. You just never know,
Speaker 1: but it was. It was a fun draft tonight. Final
Speaker 1: thoughts as we close out doesn't have to be about
Speaker 1: this draft, but just fantasy in general. I know you've
Speaker 1: been doing a lot of live draft coverage over the
Speaker 1: last couple of months with the FFPC. When you think
Speaker 1: about everything you saw tonight and over the course of
Speaker 1: the last two months, what's something that the listeners and
Speaker 1: viewers should know.
Speaker 4: Every draft's different, Like, I mean, you look at these
Speaker 4: managed leagues, like I saw something in the chat taking
Speaker 4: three qbs not sometime to recommend. It's just you know,
Speaker 4: I understand wasting picks and like you look at like
Speaker 4: a twentieth round to a pick or the you know
Speaker 4: with Strout in May. It's tough when you have to
Speaker 4: click the button in best Ball, totally understand it. You're
Speaker 4: never gonna have that opportunity, But you know, when are
Speaker 4: you ever going to click one of those? It's just
Speaker 4: so hard to do that in a managed league, Like
Speaker 4: and you're tying up roster spots. You want that handcuff
Speaker 4: running back in the twentieth round, upside receiver tight end
Speaker 4: like a Benson not or you know, Ronde Gatston. Obviously
Speaker 4: where they're going isn't really relevant, but like guys that
Speaker 4: have a little bit more upside because you know they
Speaker 4: can give you that league winning type of type of profile.
Speaker 4: When it comes to these you know, three quarterback builds,
Speaker 4: like you know he was on the show. I think
Speaker 4: they had a really a draft. But to me, I
Speaker 4: would have stopped after Stroud and then just tooking somebody
Speaker 4: with high upside and never take two defenses.
Speaker 3: Please stop it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I'm not on board with the two defenses.
Speaker 1: When you're drafted the two.
Speaker 4: Roster positions in a league, that's very very because let's
Speaker 4: just let's call it what it is. Free agency is
Speaker 4: extremely difficult.
Speaker 1: You are not. You are not.
Speaker 4: Like we see all these articles that come around and like,
Speaker 4: all these guys are available and free to guess what
Speaker 4: in the FFPC, They're not available. They're all drafted, every
Speaker 4: single one of them. So I hold up roster spots
Speaker 4: with Tua and a backup defense.
Speaker 1: It's like, I will say this turf and I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that that this is this holds true with scoops
Speaker 1: up Beverly's squad here, but I will say it is
Speaker 1: much easier to cut a second defense or a third
Speaker 1: quarterback than sometimes the seventh running back or an eighth
Speaker 1: you know. So, so when you look at this from
Speaker 1: from this standpoint, the first waivers are going to go
Speaker 1: through a week before the season starts or whatever, maybe
Speaker 1: so of these guys look really unappealing and it's easy
Speaker 1: to cut them, Whereas if you draft a deep team
Speaker 1: sometimes it's not easy to cut. I'm not saying that
Speaker 1: that's normal. That's probably if.
Speaker 3: You were drafting a team you'd rather have Sean Tucker.
Speaker 1: Over to I would. I would prefer the shot in
Speaker 1: the dark type guys yes, you're right that Smith like that,
Speaker 1: Yes exactly. Yeah, but to each their own because I've
