Speaker 1: and a half and they have never folded, not a
Speaker 1: single one. Let's get into tonight's draft, ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: without further ado, I'm gonna bring up the board right
Speaker 1: now and tell you who is actually drafting in this tonight.
Speaker 1: I think we have Yeah, okay, so it's up right now.
Speaker 1: We have. The number one pick tonight was Craig Omastro.
Speaker 1: Craig Mastro, former guest of this show. The Master Damas
Speaker 1: takes Jamar Chase at the one oh one. Paul Tiera,
Speaker 1: who drafted last night in the Best Ball Tournament, drafting tonight.
Speaker 1: Bijon Robinson is his pick there at the one o two.
Speaker 1: No surprise, Matthew Book's Cool hand Book is taking Ceedee
Speaker 1: Lamb at the one o three. That's an interesting one.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that in a second. Igor Gorbenko his
Speaker 1: g men select Jamior Gibbs at the one o four.
Speaker 1: Our good buddy Remy Lebau ends up going with Justin
Speaker 1: Jefferson at the one oh five. Frankin Bornoni is his
Speaker 1: scarlet squad takes Phukakula at the one oh six. Uncle
Speaker 1: Bacon and Carston Durraua end up taking Brock Boers at
Speaker 1: the one oh seven. Nice little prize for them. Malik
Speaker 1: Neighbors goes to our friend Adam Hahn Farrell. He ends
Speaker 1: up going with save Bulkey's beard ends up going It
Speaker 1: is a good name.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: Malik Davers is his pick there at the one o eight.
Speaker 1: I like that pick one O nine is Saquon Barkley,
Speaker 1: the David Fowler Matt Fay's team at a one ten
Speaker 1: takes Trey McBride and then of course Jamie Cox, our
Speaker 1: good buddy from Kentucky, the top Dogs. He gets Ashta
Speaker 1: Genty at eleven Brady Stewart. CTESPN drafting twelfth tonight starts
Speaker 1: off with McCaffrey and Saint Brown. Farrell, I'll pitch this
Speaker 1: to you right away, CD Lamb at the one o three,
Speaker 1: you would not do this because you would have taken
Speaker 1: Barkley there right I would.
Speaker 4: Have taken a running back there because you know how
Speaker 4: I love those running backs, and I might.
Speaker 1: Have been taking Boers.
Speaker 4: What's most interesting about this first round is we almost
Speaker 4: got through.
Speaker 1: It is CTESPN. Who is that cat? That is Brady Stewart.
Speaker 4: If Brady had helped us out, but Pudding, I'm on
Speaker 4: an say Brown is his first round pick, and then
Speaker 4: leading off the second with McCaffrey.
Speaker 1: We could say McCaffrey probably dropped out in the first round,
Speaker 1: which we did not see in the pros versus at all.
Speaker 1: We saw him going like he went often more often
Speaker 1: in the first half of the first round. But this
Speaker 1: is that's the difference.
Speaker 4: Now you might say best ball versus manage, but you
Speaker 4: also the fact that these guys are these guys are
Speaker 4: the shows putting down their dollars to win that prize.
Speaker 1: So the other one I want to bring up here,
Speaker 1: or the next one I want to bring up what
Speaker 1: do you make of Frank in Bornoni taking Kuka a
Speaker 1: coup at one oh six knowing that he's not exactly
Speaker 1: been the healthiest guy in the world and Matthew Stafford
Speaker 1: is not exactly the healthiest quarterback in the world. Right now, Well,
Speaker 1: you know, Frank's gonna go get his guys. Let's see
Speaker 1: who he gets here at number six.
Speaker 4: If you believe in the coup of that strongly, you
Speaker 4: you got to take Maybe Frank's not gonna draft a
Speaker 4: variety of teams. Are a big number of teams, so
Speaker 4: he says that this is one of his teams he's
Speaker 4: gonna get in the coup in or.
Speaker 1: Not, we have let's see here, McCaffrey Aiden. I know
Speaker 1: how Farrell feels about Christian McCaffrey. How do you feel
Speaker 1: about McCaffrey this year, especially given the fact that you
Speaker 1: only have to invest a late first round pick into him.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that's fantastic. You know, as you
Speaker 2: guys both send most drafts, you're seeing him, you know
Speaker 2: go probably you know in that pick number six to
Speaker 2: eight range. I think he's been going at the one
Speaker 2: o eight on average over the last couple of days
Speaker 2: in this format. But so when you see him drop
Speaker 2: to this later ends of the round, it does catch
Speaker 2: your eye because, I mean the case has already been
Speaker 2: pitched on Bulky. I know many of our shows where
Speaker 2: it's he's arguably the biggest wild garden fantasy. If he
Speaker 2: does stay healthy and can return to health or even
Speaker 2: you know, eighty five ninety percent of what he was,
Speaker 2: you're getting a top three player in fantasy football. You know,
Speaker 2: these guys are drafting for a million bucks. I think
Speaker 2: you have to take the risk there and and almost
Speaker 2: certainly getting a value at the one twelve. You're not investing,
Speaker 2: you know, a top sick you're not passing on guys.
Speaker 2: I think you can feel even more comfortable in the
Speaker 2: twelve spot drafting Christian McCaffrey. So I'm all aboard analytics
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 4: I believe Bulky that you have to sit down, up
Speaker 4: your glass and we will have to drink to aid.
Speaker 6: Aiden.
Speaker 4: That was wonderful. Notice I'm having my bourbon. I have
Speaker 4: a cocktail glass. Is having hands out of a beer glass.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 4: It says it's going to be a long night or
Speaker 4: perhaps a short night over here.
Speaker 2: Aiden, You guys know what I have next to me.
Speaker 2: I have what whoever wins this league is going to
Speaker 2: be taken home. Look at this, fellas, Oh yeah, a
Speaker 2: little big.
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, hold that up, Aiden, I want
Speaker 1: to I want to go, I want to go.
Speaker 2: Look at that Bulky left, He's gone. I'm still hearing
Speaker 2: draft is gone. This is what these drafters are going for.
Speaker 2: Anyone tuning in. Obviously, we do the coins, the medallions
Speaker 2: every year, the big gorilla coin this year, twenty twenty
Speaker 2: five league champ right there in the back of the
Speaker 2: little bananas trophy. Fellas, like that, there we go. I
Speaker 2: to have to show that off of it. I'm sure
Speaker 2: that will be in the emails.
Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, we got to get that in the emails,
Speaker 1: and by we, I mean me, Yeah, out of a
Speaker 1: beer pint last tonight, because my gatte shaker is in
Speaker 1: the dishwasher. So that's why I'm drinking bourbon out of
Speaker 1: a pink class. Guys, I want to bring in our
Speaker 1: first guest tonight. I believe he is drafting. Let me
Speaker 1: see here right now, he is drafting from the second hole.
Speaker 1: Just took Ladd McConkie. Let's let's bring him on right now?
Speaker 1: Is this Paul to share that I'm that that is gracing.
Speaker 7: Us tonight, the one and only from All White North.
Speaker 1: From former guests of the show, and who has been
Speaker 1: drafting like a madman this year. You get, you draw
Speaker 1: the two spots, and I'm probably pretty happy to get. Well,
Speaker 1: you're on the clock right now here at the three
Speaker 1: oh two, Paul, what are you thinking?
Speaker 8: Well, I wanted Kittle, but he went a little early,
Speaker 8: touch early, so I'm gonna go I started with bijon.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go receiver and receiver again here. So I'm debating.
Speaker 8: I'm debating between Tyreek Hill here and Garrett Wilson.
Speaker 1: Pharaoh Pharaoh loves Garrett Wilson.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 7: Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 1: Let's do it, Pharaoh, little pat on the back from
Speaker 1: over here. Thank you. You know the other thing too,
Speaker 1: with with Wilson, the target share should be much higher
Speaker 1: for him, I would think if, especially if Jalen Wattle
Speaker 1: has a rebound season, there's there's no threat on New
Speaker 1: York to Garrett Wilson, whereas Tyreek Hill still has Jalen
Speaker 1: Wattle there as well. Robinson McConkie Wilson, Dude, this is
Speaker 1: a this is a strong start with a lot of
Speaker 1: targets on your squad.
Speaker 7: Paul. Yeah, I'm liking it so far.
Speaker 8: I mean, like I said, I was trying to be
Speaker 8: different and go tight end early on most of my drafts.
Speaker 8: I haven't done that so just to you know, just
Speaker 8: to be different a it. But I'm I'm loving this start. Yeah,
Speaker 8: I'm cool.
Speaker 4: You can go early on different tight ends later what
Speaker 4: would be considered early for their for their draft position,
Speaker 4: their a d P. And you know what, I I
Speaker 4: think I can see that continuing in your build towards
Speaker 4: the championship here.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I didn't hear what you said there, Sorry, Elliott.
Speaker 1: Oh buddy, I'm saying.
Speaker 4: I'm saying, go get some more tighty ends a little
Speaker 4: later in this draft, it'll be great.
Speaker 1: I'll better speak up, Paul, What what is bet?
Speaker 8: Your people seem to be waiting on tight end quarterback
Speaker 8: this year if you don't get those big guys. So
Speaker 8: that seems to be a pattern that I'm noticing. So,
Speaker 8: I mean, it just it just depends on what's happening
Speaker 8: in the room.
Speaker 1: Really, So, and I said, you've drafted a bunch you
Speaker 1: drafted obviously on on on the stream earlier this week.
Speaker 1: Have you found yourself waiting on tight ends more often
Speaker 1: than not in your drafts because it seems like other
Speaker 1: people are waiting on them. Clearly, it was not a
Speaker 1: priority for you to get one of the top three
Speaker 1: tight ends tonight you had your cracks at you decide
Speaker 1: to pass on them. Is that something that that's sort
Speaker 1: of like is indicative of the majority of the drafts
Speaker 1: you've done this season so far? Paul?
Speaker 7: Yes, I agree.
Speaker 8: Basically I've been double tapping most of the time or
Speaker 8: grabbing like like that second tier there, that and Joe
Speaker 8: who Ingram Hawkinson type tier there. I'll grab one out
Speaker 8: of there and then maybe uh someone else with upside.
Speaker 1: The uh we had we do not have any quarterbacks
Speaker 1: off the board at all. I want to ask you
Speaker 1: about Amari and Hampton. Uncle Bacon has just taken him
Speaker 1: at the three oh seven, Paul. He has really been
Speaker 1: flying up boards because we just we have not heard
Speaker 1: anything super positive about Nanji Hair. It's not really super
Speaker 1: negative as well. But Hampton, when we get to Las Vegas,
Speaker 1: when we get to Louisville in a few weeks, when
Speaker 1: we get to Las Vegas a couple of weeks after that,
Speaker 1: you think Hampton's gonna be settling in at that two
Speaker 1: three turn?
Speaker 2: Is he going to go that high?
Speaker 7: Well, if he scored last night, he might have been
Speaker 7: around higher.
Speaker 4: And look at this draft. Three names off the board
Speaker 4: before you're Tyreek Hill, who you were deciding a mount
Speaker 4: one of them a receiver Harrison in front of Hill.
Speaker 4: I think Hill is is in tonight's draft, and I
Speaker 4: think we'll see this trim continue that he'll be moving.
Speaker 1: Back in the draft. Yeah, and that it's weird because
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hills had the sort of like roller coaster offseason
Speaker 1: where he was he was up, then he was down,
Speaker 1: then he was up again, and now we're seeing him
Speaker 1: where does he go tonight? Farely just pointed out three
Speaker 1: h sixx. Yeah, so we'll see what happens there going forward.
Speaker 1: Any surprises in the draft tonight, Paul, when you look
Speaker 1: at this, I mean I was a little surprised to
Speaker 1: see Puka Akua go at the one oh six. We
Speaker 1: have the Dizzle Dave Gerzek popping in the YouTube chat
Speaker 1: talking about how Saquon Barkley fell in this draft, Christian
Speaker 1: McCaffrey fell in this draft. Any other thing standing out
Speaker 1: to you as we are, you know, almost three rounds in.
Speaker 7: Yeah, just Harrison went a little early.
Speaker 8: I mean I think he goes on the three four turn,
Speaker 8: so that's around almost around early.
Speaker 7: So somebody likes him.
Speaker 1: It's all about getting your guys too. We'll see what
Speaker 1: happens between Matthew Book and then I think that's Igor
Speaker 1: Gorbenko's team at the three and the four. One is
Speaker 1: drafting heavy receivers, one is drafting heavy running backs, So
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens there. Paul. Do you have a
Speaker 1: favorite spot? Do you like being on the ends? Do
Speaker 1: you like being in the middle when you're drafting in
Speaker 1: the FFPC, I've.
Speaker 8: Been mostly drafting at the ends, like the second half
Speaker 8: of the draft, and this is my first time in
Speaker 8: the two slot.
Speaker 7: I actually prefer in the middle and just picking off value.
Speaker 1: If you would have had the opportunity, if Jon Robinson
Speaker 1: would have went one tonight, would you have taken Chase
Speaker 1: it two?
Speaker 8: Yeah, that doesn't matter to me. One two there. I
Speaker 8: also like Gibbs a lot, So.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how would so so so between Robinson and Gibbs.
Speaker 1: You obviously like Gibbs better. But this is another player
Speaker 1: that I think is interesting this year because you have
Speaker 1: David Montgomery coming back healthy, but you have a new
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. I think the one the two guys I
Speaker 1: trust in that offense, Uh, in order, Gibbs and then
Speaker 1: Saint Brown and then a big gap then it's probably
Speaker 1: Laporta and then Montgomery after that. But Gibbs, dude, I
Speaker 1: think he's totally locked in for a big year. UH
Speaker 1: this year for sure. I wanted to ask you about McConkie.
Speaker 1: There was a report today that Keenan Allen was going
Speaker 1: to be visiting the Chargers. Does that Yeah, does that
Speaker 1: change the way you think about McConkie or is that
Speaker 1: just totally non related to taking him at the end
Speaker 1: of the second round.
Speaker 7: No, he's I think he's then Cooper Cup.
Speaker 1: Could be very well could be. That's that's that's very
Speaker 1: as to it. Paul. Listen, man, we'll let you get
Speaker 1: back to the drafting action. So glad that you popped
Speaker 1: a board tonight, Paul t Hobbs or habs? Is it
Speaker 1: hobbs or habs? Okay they yeah, all the hobbs. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: the pride of Canada, the Great White North. Paul to
Speaker 1: Shriff joining us tonight, Paul, thank you so much for
Speaker 1: hopping aboard. Enjoy the rest of the draft and enjoy
Speaker 1: the rest of the drafting season, my friend.
Speaker 8: Thanks guys, thanks for all the live streams. Some of
Speaker 8: these articles are boring, so you we're.
Speaker 1: All about that action, boss. Glad to have you man,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Paul.
Speaker 7: Thanks guys, be good.
Speaker 1: Let's see Paul to share a good guy. Always good
Speaker 1: to get the Canadian guys on here.
Speaker 4: We love the Canadian he could love David the Winnipeg
Speaker 4: Toronto score. But you know what, look at the quarterback
Speaker 4: run it's now starting with the fourth round.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had Jamie Cox here.
Speaker 4: The question I would ask you would be Jamie at
Speaker 4: eleven team number twelve? Get you really, you know, did
Speaker 4: he did.
Speaker 1: He get Lamar. What's the word snipe? Snipe? You've been
Speaker 1: nice sniped? I think Jamie Dogs would have gone Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson there well, and the other thing aiden here we'll
Speaker 1: talk about this team ten tonight, which is Matt Fay's squad.
Speaker 1: He had the opportunity to take Jaden Daniels, he had
Speaker 1: the opportunity to take Josh Allen. He ends up going
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, which I get if you have T. Higgins
Speaker 1: or if you have Jamar Chase, but naked Joe Burrow
Speaker 1: is an interesting choice here from Matt.
Speaker 2: Fay in Yeah round early too. We actually talked about
Speaker 2: this with the Sports Gambling podcast guys. Is really obviously,
Speaker 2: stacking is less important when you are in a managed
Speaker 2: league comparatively to best ball. However, if you make the
Speaker 2: championship Sprint comes weeks fifteen through seventeen and you're Joe
Speaker 2: Burrow team, he'll be starting Joe Burrow those weeks, and
Speaker 2: more than likely the other Joe Burrow teams you're facing
Speaker 2: are gonna have Jamar Chase, T Higgins, maybe Chase Brown.
Speaker 2: So yeah, you can sprinkle it later. It just makes
Speaker 2: it much harder. Can't help. But wonder was you know,
Speaker 2: Team ten looking at this and seeing t Higgins right
Speaker 2: behind them and trying to you know, play a little
Speaker 2: you know, gamemanship within the league. They like Burrow maybe
Speaker 2: equally to Daniels and Allen, and he was trying to
Speaker 2: prevent a stack. But uh, you got to be thinking,
Speaker 2: you know, beyond just your league. So pushing Burrow a
Speaker 2: round up over a guy like Josh Allen, who I
Speaker 2: think you know is way easier to win with naked
Speaker 2: Josh Allen because of the lack of elite weapons in
Speaker 2: the receiving corps is not the right move out of
Speaker 2: the ten spot.
Speaker 1: And I mean we also heard, I mean I mentioned
Speaker 1: this to Farrell before the show too. Khalil Shakir getting
Speaker 1: nicked up in practice today, I don't think we I
Speaker 1: have not seen reporting on that for the extent of
Speaker 1: that injury. And also that's something to keep in mind
Speaker 1: as well as we move forward. Yeah, Nick, that's all
Speaker 1: we want.
Speaker 9: We don't.
Speaker 1: We don't, Yeah, we this is it's all about precautionary
Speaker 1: measures hopefully that teams are taking right now. We don't
Speaker 1: want any kind of I don't even want to say that,
Speaker 1: but hopefully Khalil Shakiir is going to be okay. Get
Speaker 1: what we want to do is get to our next guest,
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, A guest that Farrell knows very well.
Speaker 1: Guess that I know very well. Drafted against this guy
Speaker 1: many a time, and I don't think I've ever won
Speaker 1: a league that he has been drafting yet. So tonight
Speaker 1: we welcome him aboard live from the eleventh spot, the
Speaker 1: Pride of Kentucky. Now besides Ferrel Elliott, mister Jamie Cox, Jamie,
Speaker 1: welcome in there. He is all on, Jamie, you're muted.
Speaker 1: Got on, mute, brother, Maybe I can unmute him. Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: there we go, there we go. All right, all right, Jamie,
Speaker 1: welcome aboard. How's the team looking through four rounds?
Speaker 9: You know, I was I was really hoping to Higgins
Speaker 9: would would come around. But uh, and Farrell, you're wrong.
Speaker 9: I was not going to take a quarterback there, not Lamar, No,
Speaker 9: not Lamar. We'll do a little we might do a
Speaker 9: little stacking later.
Speaker 1: So oo spicy the gent pick, Jamie. He has been falling.
Speaker 1: You know, I wouldn't say falling, but there was a
Speaker 1: there was a stretch about two and a half three
Speaker 1: weeks earlier this season, where he was consistently going in
Speaker 1: the mid first. He's been falling to the to the
Speaker 1: to the late first now and you scooped uh U
Speaker 1: scroup genty up there. We can't ask Farrell about the
Speaker 1: Raiders because he's biased. We know you're unbiased, So I'll
Speaker 1: ask you about genty And how good of a pick
Speaker 1: that you think that was tonight?
Speaker 9: You know it was it was gonna be, you know,
Speaker 9: I just I can't do the McCaffrey thing, and a
Speaker 9: tan was.
Speaker 7: Was it the other choice?
Speaker 9: But you know, with when Tua with you know when
Speaker 9: he's when Tua plays, he's one of the best. But
Speaker 9: I just think that's a safe pick, honestly. I mean,
Speaker 9: they're gonna they're gonna run the ball, They're gonna throw
Speaker 9: the ball to him. I really liked that pick, so
Speaker 9: I was hoping he would fall. I was hoping him
Speaker 9: or Bowers, either one would fall.
Speaker 1: The the other receivers that you've added here, Collins, Adams, Sutton.
Speaker 1: I know Adams is not the number one in Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: but all the the other two guys are the number
Speaker 1: ones for their teams. That's a lot of targets here too, Jamie.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're in Kentucky Motor whatever, but
Speaker 1: you're stacking up these stud volume target guys at wide
Speaker 1: receiver here. Was that sort of the idea that you
Speaker 1: thought you were gonna go this way when you found
Speaker 1: out you had the eleven spot?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm kind of kind of going hero running back,
Speaker 9: kind of go get a get a running back early
Speaker 9: and then then fill up some some receiver spots. And
Speaker 9: I think I think, you know, six through seven, eight, nine, ten,
Speaker 9: you could probably get more value at running back than
Speaker 9: you can at receiver.
Speaker 4: Jamie Cox, why didn't you consider taking Derreck Henry. He's
Speaker 4: gonna score eighty Fantasy points more than Jenny.
Speaker 7: You know, fair artists can't.
Speaker 9: You know, every year it's one of those years where
Speaker 9: you're like, man, I should have done it, But the
Speaker 9: next year I won't do it because of four hundred
Speaker 9: or whatever carries it is and it doesn't miss it.
Speaker 9: You know, you just wait for that guy to break down,
Speaker 9: but he don't.
Speaker 7: He's a machine.
Speaker 4: It doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't matter. But that's okay.
Speaker 4: I've I'm glad to see you in here. Drafting by
Speaker 4: the time we get you in Kentucky at the main event,
Speaker 4: I'll be able to absolutely and just maybe successfully predict
Speaker 4: a move that you're gonna make. But I like your
Speaker 4: team and congratulations. The best thing I like about it,
Speaker 4: I think Balky will agree with me is Nico Collin.
Speaker 1: Yeah that was a strong pick, man, I you know,
Speaker 1: was it gonna be him?
Speaker 9: I'm London. I love bron Thomas too. But uh, you know,
Speaker 9: I do watch the I do watch the bye weeks.
Speaker 9: I don't like. I don't like Week fourteen. I plan
Speaker 9: on being in the championship game. I don't want my
Speaker 9: stud out, so McCaffrey. But but yeah, so I do
Speaker 9: watch a little bit of that. But man, you could
Speaker 9: be very easily. You could stack up a bunch of
Speaker 9: Week eight players if you ain't.
Speaker 1: Careful, Jamie, Can I ask you Bengals question quick?
Speaker 7: Absolutely?
Speaker 1: So no offense? Excuse me? Is now a Cincinnati Bengal?
Speaker 1: Is this changing your fantasy interpretation of Mike Gisiki at all?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 9: Instead of taking Mike Zick in the seventeenth round, I
Speaker 9: might not take him at all.
Speaker 1: So no, basically no, it does not change, no change anything. Well,
Speaker 1: I just I asked that because you know, Gasiki seems
Speaker 1: to be like a guy that people are drafting. Is
Speaker 1: it like if they go with one of the elite
Speaker 1: guys early on, they draft Gasiki as like a backup
Speaker 1: late as like a top you know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty guy or whatever, and then I don't know.
Speaker 1: I've heard people saying like, well, fans really not going
Speaker 1: to affect what Kasiki does on the field, so his
Speaker 1: fantasy stats still should be the same. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you felt that way too.
Speaker 9: Well, you know, you always follow the money, and they
Speaker 9: paid Yasiki, so uh, you know, that's that's one thing,
Speaker 9: but fants probably just a nice add on. But you know,
Speaker 9: they got some other tight ends to get snaps too,
Speaker 9: So Djusiki didn't get all the snaps last year.
Speaker 4: But it's really a pleasure to understand that Cincinnati did
Speaker 4: pay one player that was refreshing.
Speaker 2: No, they paid it.
Speaker 9: They paid a few now, they paid, they paid Higgins.
Speaker 1: You know, they really don't want to pay anybody, but
Speaker 1: they did pay you, Sicky, no doubt about that. Uh, Jamie, listen,
Speaker 1: we we gotta fly. I'm gonna let you get back
Speaker 1: to it. Thank you, so much for joining the show tonight.
Speaker 1: Always a pleasure to talk with you. Am I gonna
Speaker 1: see in Louisville in a few weeks.
Speaker 9: Absolutely, I'll be there Friday, all day Friday, and all
Speaker 9: day Sunday. I'll do a thirty two year by our
Speaker 9: thirty three, thirty third year of doing a home fantasy
Speaker 9: league on Saturday night. So gotcha all right Sunday?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Perfect, Jamie, Thank you so much. Enjoy the rest
Speaker 1: of the draft, Enjoy drafting season. We'll see in a
Speaker 1: few weeks man, thank you. See you know, Jamie Cox
Speaker 1: is one of it now.
Speaker 4: I got to get a shout out to one of
Speaker 4: my pals in Louisville. He's a dear friend of mine
Speaker 4: in fantasy football. He would have told Jamie to draft
Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson. And that's my good friend John Lincoln.
Speaker 1: I couldn't get on the road and do a lot
Speaker 1: of the.
Speaker 4: Things that I want to do without Johnny Lincoln being
Speaker 4: available to cover me on some things.
Speaker 1: So good evening, Johnny, and I hope.
Speaker 2: You do it.
Speaker 1: So would John have said take Lamar Jackson over Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry at the two o two? No, no, no, you
Speaker 1: would have taken Lamar Jackson. All right there, okay, I
Speaker 1: got you at the three eleven, and yeah, he would
Speaker 1: have taken Henry doing too.
Speaker 4: And then and you know, then we could we could
Speaker 4: go back to North Carolina and talk to Lcry about
Speaker 4: stacking again, which was some of the best analysis that
Speaker 4: I have ever seen.
Speaker 2: Some early louisvillbias with all this Lamar Jackson discussion.
Speaker 1: You know, there's there's plenty of it, only starts talking
Speaker 1: up Tyler Shuck. Then well, yeah, go.
Speaker 4: There's number one Lamar Jackson, and we've got to live it,
Speaker 4: you know where it's happening now, and we've got a
Speaker 4: really enjoin.
Speaker 1: So we got so so aiden. We had Bravado chiming
Speaker 1: in on YouTube talking about Team six is looking nice.
Speaker 1: That's Frank M. Bornoni's team. Uh he He started off
Speaker 1: with Nikoua, you got Kittle in the second, and then
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hil Rashie Rice in the fourth. I know Adam Han,
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's watching this. I haven't seen
Speaker 1: him pop in yet. I know Adam does not like
Speaker 1: that that Rashid Rice pick. And then James Cook here
Speaker 1: in the fifth. When you look at Team six here
Speaker 1: in Bornoni's Scarlett squad. What do you think of that
Speaker 1: squad so far through five rounds?
Speaker 2: Aiden, you know, it's just it's I like elements of
Speaker 2: it and don't like certain elements of it. So Pokin
Speaker 2: the one oh six. My issue with Pokinakua because I
Speaker 2: think he is primed for an elite season. The issue
Speaker 2: with me is every story about him should include his
Speaker 2: injury history dating back to his days in college. You know,
Speaker 2: he really had one healthy year like his past three
Speaker 2: or four seasons, and that's concerning to me. But you
Speaker 2: know this is go get your guy time, and you
Speaker 2: know you can't always draft thinking about injury because again,
Speaker 2: he has shown the potential to stay healthy. Just in general,
Speaker 2: when I'm looking at rams receivers, just not going to
Speaker 2: panic yet. I'm the uncertainty with Stafford. I like Devonte
Speaker 2: Adams for example at the three eleven a little more.
Speaker 2: But Nikola, I'm iffy that early love Kittle. I think
Speaker 2: Dave noted in the chat right he's been moving up.
Speaker 2: That's going to keep moving up. Tyreek Kill, I think
Speaker 2: that's great value wider year fourteen in the third round
Speaker 2: for him to bounce back. Rashie Rice might have been
Speaker 2: my ride or die before kind of this news, because
Speaker 2: I was fully believing that you know, any suspension talk,
Speaker 2: any settlement, any any court resolution would be during this
Speaker 2: season towards the end based on everything I read, and
Speaker 2: he wouldn't get suspended this year, although that's kind of
Speaker 2: up in the air. Although if this is around four games,
Speaker 2: it's not going to hurt this team too much. But
Speaker 2: it's just way harder to click that button with that
Speaker 2: looming uncertainty. I'm not a James Cook guy by any means.
Speaker 2: Love Ray Davis think the touchdowns are going to regress
Speaker 2: for James Cook. There's the whole holding situation. However, the
Speaker 2: longer this drags on, I think is ADP almost adjust
Speaker 2: to where it should be. You know, we saw early
Speaker 2: on and going at the back end of the third round,
Speaker 2: fourth round. Now he's dipping to the mid fifth. I'm
Speaker 2: comfortable taking this not a team that I would have
Speaker 2: picked her out of the sixth spot. It's just a
Speaker 2: lot of guys that I'm iffy on. But I understand
Speaker 2: the build, and you know, I'm always for a you know,
Speaker 2: a wide receiver, tight and heavy start, and then you
Speaker 2: could do worse than James Cook as your RB one
Speaker 2: and the high Power Bills offense.
Speaker 4: You are the master of the graphics, and you made
Speaker 4: the statement you can't go through everyone's injury history. I
Speaker 4: don't think you need to, but I think a graphic
Speaker 4: could be added to the software Bulky, Yeah, the li
Speaker 4: Cory red cross and you know, see, if they're red
Speaker 4: cross next to the player's name, that means you have
Speaker 4: decided that that player has been injured much in the
Speaker 4: past and we'll be injured too much in the future.
Speaker 1: And I think I think there's something.
Speaker 4: You know, it's not quite what Darren Armandi does for
Speaker 4: the league, but I think it would be just as important.
Speaker 1: You know, I hate to agree with Ferrell here because
Speaker 1: I'm giving Aiden homework something to think going forward here,
Speaker 1: So we'll let you mull on that. And I want
Speaker 1: to bring in our next guest because he is drafting
Speaker 1: from the seventh spot tonight, which means he is eligible
Speaker 1: for that seven Bananas promo. If he hits the seventh
Speaker 1: spot in his next big Gorilla draft, he's gonna get
Speaker 1: a free FFPC Best Ball Team courtesy of the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football Players Championship. And if he keeps getting that seventh spot,
Speaker 1: God knows what he's gonna get. Maybe it ends in
Speaker 1: a jungle safari for four or fifty thousand dollars. Please
Speaker 1: welcome in Uncle Bacon. Ladies and gentlemen, drafting from the
Speaker 1: seventh spot aka Maddie, here's Uncle Bacon. Good evening, sir, Hey.
Speaker 6: Good evening. How's it going guys?
Speaker 1: It's going good. How are you liking your team? This
Speaker 1: is a true rainbow start that you had tonight.
Speaker 6: It is.
Speaker 10: It's probably like my first rainbow start ever. I wanted
Speaker 10: Bowers really bad. I'm glad I got him at the seven.
Speaker 10: I'm in two big gorillas right now where I got
Speaker 10: Bowers at two and three, and I hated that because
Speaker 10: it's way too early. But I wanted him because the
Speaker 10: tight end premium. So getting him here at the seven
Speaker 10: is real good because now I can build a different
Speaker 10: team because on the when I got him with the
Speaker 10: two and three, it's like I'm building the same team,
Speaker 10: you know. So it feels good to get this team.
Speaker 10: And Drake London's like my ride or die round two,
Speaker 10: so I like that I got him.
Speaker 6: Oh, Marion Hampton, he's he's like a here are b
Speaker 6: in round three? Josh Allen elite QB can't beat that.
Speaker 1: As the fourth quarterback off the board too.
Speaker 10: Right, Travis Hunter. I mean, I think Travis hunty dude.
Speaker 10: I'm real slappy on him this year. He's like my
Speaker 10: most exposure out of anybody, and I just think he's
Speaker 10: gonna kill it. So I'm so happy I got him
Speaker 10: right here.
Speaker 1: So that was a question that we got on YouTube,
Speaker 1: Uncle Bake and we head Bravado asking why you wanted
Speaker 1: to go with Travis Hunter over Calvin Ridley. He also
Speaker 1: seconded that Travis Hunter over George Piketts. You could add
Speaker 1: any one of the of the three. You already mentioned
Speaker 1: that Hunter is your top, that you have him, you know,
Speaker 1: owned everywhere right now, so clearly you like him over
Speaker 1: these guys. Can you tell us a little bit about
Speaker 1: why Hunter is still going to explode despite him being
Speaker 1: a rookie, despite him playing defense, and despite him being
Speaker 1: on the same field as Brian Thomas Junior as well.
Speaker 10: I just I'm just, like I said, I'm slappy about it.
Speaker 10: I just believe that he's gonna be I think that
Speaker 10: Pickens is a guy that has an attitude.
Speaker 6: I don't know if he's going to be is as
Speaker 6: good as they say he's going to be. He's on
Speaker 6: a new team.
Speaker 10: Dak, Dude, Dak's always injured. I just don't believe in Dak.
Speaker 10: I don't think Dak's in the last seventeen weeks. So
Speaker 10: let's see what happens with that. So I just don't
Speaker 10: believe in that. And then what was that Ridley?
Speaker 7: What is he?
Speaker 2: Thirty years old?
Speaker 10: He's got a new quarterback, he's got cam Ward cam
Speaker 10: Warden might be good. I just think with Travis Hunter,
Speaker 10: he's just a stud.
Speaker 6: Dude. You can't pass up on that guy over those
Speaker 6: two guys.
Speaker 1: Maddy, you are on the clock here right now in
Speaker 1: the sixth round. The one good thing about well, there's
Speaker 1: multiple good things about your team. But you can go anywhere. Man.
Speaker 1: You got the balance here. You could double up on
Speaker 1: tight end. You could go with a running back, you
Speaker 1: could add to a receiver. I don't think you'll go
Speaker 1: quarterback here, but I don't know anything as possible. What
Speaker 1: do you think of here for the six to soh six?
Speaker 10: Well, the dude, all of my teams, I'm always light
Speaker 10: on running back always. I'm always like you know, I
Speaker 10: got like one hero and that's it. So I think
Speaker 10: I'm gonna go with DeAndre Swift here, but I got
Speaker 10: to get lucky and hope that he I'm you know,
Speaker 10: who knows what's going to happen with him on this team,
Speaker 10: So that's kind of scary, but I'm picking him, dude.
Speaker 1: So DeAndre Swift is the pick for Uncle Bacon here,
Speaker 1: Hampton and Swift now in the backfield, and I think
Speaker 1: they that's an interesting pick, Maddy, because you know, you
Speaker 1: have to take your chances. You have to make your
Speaker 1: bets on certain players, not only to win your league,
Speaker 1: but to try to win this million dollar Grand Prize.
Speaker 1: You got to hit on some big players, and if
Speaker 1: you hit on Swift, this could be a huge deal.
Speaker 10: It's scary, though, dude, because I mean, I know people
Speaker 10: talk about how Ben Johnson had him on the Lions,
Speaker 10: and it wasn't him that got rid of him.
Speaker 6: But we'll see.
Speaker 10: Man, they draft him an young guy. I don't know
Speaker 10: how good he's going to be. He could break out
Speaker 10: andy in preseason. So Swift is one of those picks
Speaker 10: where it's like, man, I look at that, that's like
Speaker 10: my least favorite pick by far. I mean, obviously it's
Speaker 10: my last pick.
Speaker 1: You do if it's your least favorite pick, then then
Speaker 1: what's what what what upside do you see there that
Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, I gotta take him at this.
Speaker 10: I got it because I got to take the risk,
Speaker 10: Like what if he's like a baby Jamior Gibbs to to,
Speaker 10: you know, with Ben Johnson over there, I mean, I'll
Speaker 10: take that because over all the other running backs that
Speaker 10: were available, I'm just really not man running backs. I'm
Speaker 10: just not into them. But I'm always feeling I always
Speaker 10: think running backs are gonna get injured. You just never know, dude,
Speaker 10: It's I don't know. I always think keep drafting them.
Speaker 1: Then the attitude you have, you're gonna need more.
Speaker 6: I know, I know that's true.
Speaker 1: But this is a perfect spot for me to turn
Speaker 1: it over.
Speaker 4: As musical duties called tonight, I must hit the rope,
Speaker 4: but I'm leaving it.
Speaker 1: In great hands.
Speaker 6: Was good to meet you.
Speaker 4: It was pleasures all mind sir. You're a legend in
Speaker 4: this league. But you're on your way towards the championship,
Speaker 4: and I wouldn't leave here. Wasn't if I couldn't leave
Speaker 4: it in the hands of such a fantastic young man.
Speaker 4: As the LT glory profile over here, and I will
Speaker 4: be saying so long to my dear friend. Right, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna take this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, please, I wish you a great evening and we'll
Speaker 1: see you next right, all right, that's Farrel, Elliott, Ladies
Speaker 1: and gentlemen. Now you know where you're going, right, you
Speaker 1: know your way out? Okay?
Speaker 6: All right? Perfect?
Speaker 1: Ferrel knows where he's going and uh and we will
Speaker 1: see him again soon. First time ever, Farrell and I
Speaker 1: have done a video show together, which is always fun.
Speaker 1: Anytime we can.
Speaker 2: We can make that. Uncle Macon, are you are you
Speaker 2: an Angels fan?
Speaker 7: I am?
Speaker 10: Yeah, Well I was sorry, I know I was.
Speaker 7: Dude.
Speaker 10: Well, I grew up in southern California, so I'm a
Speaker 10: Dodger angel if. I went to Dodgers games as a kid,
Speaker 10: Angel games, but more Dodgers than Angels.
Speaker 6: But then I went to a lot of Angels games.
Speaker 10: When you know, they had Mike Sosha as the as
Speaker 10: the manager, and then they had got Mike Trout. Dude,
Speaker 10: they never even won a playoff game and their their owner,
Speaker 10: Artie Moreno, he just doesn't care about winning, bro, He
Speaker 10: cares about making money and that's all good and getting
Speaker 10: butts and seats, but the Dodgers are all about winning.
Speaker 10: So it's like it's all about the Dodgers right now.
Speaker 1: Maddy, Maddy, let me ask you this. If Travis Hunter
Speaker 1: is your most owned player, who do you think is
Speaker 1: your second.
Speaker 2: Most own player so far?
Speaker 10: By far o Marion Hampton by far and dude, I've
Speaker 10: been drafting since February, so it's like I've been I've
Speaker 10: been drafting. I've got like a couple one hundred and
Speaker 10: something best balls on draftings going. I'm doing Underdog in
Speaker 10: August and I got like thirty four redraft teams. I
Speaker 10: I uh yeah, I started in February, and I'm all
Speaker 10: about Hunter, I'm all about Hampton. And then the draft
Speaker 10: capital only helps more, dude, I mean the second they
Speaker 10: get you're.
Speaker 2: Still drafting Hampton as his ADP has been moving up
Speaker 2: because he's going at to fifth round and like you know,
Speaker 2: March April right right.
Speaker 10: But see that I wasn't getting him that much. Then
Speaker 10: I only had him a few times. So now I'm like,
Speaker 10: I don't care, dude, Like right now I got him
Speaker 10: what round three, I don't care.
Speaker 6: I'm good. You know, I think he's gonna crush.
Speaker 2: Afore we know it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Uncle Bacon, do you find yourself building more because
Speaker 1: in the FFPC, obviously you only have to start two
Speaker 1: running backs, you only have to start two receivers. Do
Speaker 1: you on yourself building more running back heavy teams or
Speaker 1: wide receiver heavy teams in the big gorilla wide receiver
Speaker 1: by far?
Speaker 10: Because and I grabbed, I grab like three to four
Speaker 10: tight ends because of the tight end premium.
Speaker 6: M hm, you know so.
Speaker 10: But but yeah, when it comes to the running backs,
Speaker 10: it's like, yeah, I just man, I don't know, dude,
Speaker 10: I'm just I've always been like that. I've been drafting
Speaker 10: for you know, over a decade, and I'm just something
Speaker 10: about the running backs. They're always getting injured. You just
Speaker 10: never know, you know.
Speaker 1: The pick is coming up, you are in the hole
Speaker 1: right now again and now you're on deck. So, Maddie,
Speaker 1: I think the other thing that to talk about here,
Speaker 1: and I brought this up in the sixth round. You
Speaker 1: have two running backs, you have two receivers, you have
Speaker 1: a tight end, you have a quarterback, Like this is
Speaker 1: another pick where this is what I always like to do,
Speaker 1: especially when I'm in the middle. Have flexibility. What is
Speaker 1: Bruce Lucy h b water right, So you are water
Speaker 1: right now, and that water allows you to scoop up
Speaker 1: the value where you see it. You just saw Frank
Speaker 1: in Bornoni double up on tight ends here. I don't
Speaker 1: know if that affects your thinking at all.
Speaker 10: Actually it doesn't affect my thinking, but that's what I
Speaker 10: was thinking.
Speaker 7: Here it goes do.
Speaker 10: Here's my pick, and I'll tell you why I boom
Speaker 10: Mark and because the bye week works with with Bowers
Speaker 10: and then with with Isaiah clean his foot. I know
Speaker 10: they're like, oh, it's four to six weeks, blah blah.
Speaker 6: Whatever.
Speaker 10: Dude, Mark Andrews is gonna get Target City, so I'm
Speaker 10: good with that.
Speaker 1: We have now seen both inm Bornoni and Uncle Bacon
Speaker 1: double up at tight end. How does that affect the
Speaker 1: rest of the draft. You'll have to keep watching to
Speaker 1: find out, as we're only a third of the way through.
Speaker 1: Can we follow you on X at Uncle Bacon F.
Speaker 6: F Maddy, Yes you can.
Speaker 10: I just opened my social media, so I just started it,
Speaker 10: so there's nothing there now, but I'm gonna post all
Speaker 10: my exposures, all my everything I do, everything I win
Speaker 10: and miss and lose and everything, like I'm gonna post
Speaker 10: all that once.
Speaker 6: Once I'm right before the season, I'm gonna post all
Speaker 6: my exposures and stuff.
Speaker 1: So all right, well it was.
Speaker 10: I'm also in the next I signed up to the
Speaker 10: Big Gorilla Draft and on August thirteenth, so I'll probably
Speaker 10: see you there too.
Speaker 2: Oh, there you go. Absolutely, there we go.
Speaker 1: Uncle Bacon, ladies and gentlemen, making his debut on in
Speaker 1: the heigh Stakes Fantasy footballer tonight. Thanks so much, dude,
Speaker 1: really appreciate it. Enjoy the rest of the draft, Enjoy
Speaker 1: the rest of the drafting season, and we'll see us soon.
Speaker 1: Thanks as absolutely. Maddie hopping a board Uncle Bac had
Speaker 1: good stuff from him tonight. As we are powering through
Speaker 1: the seventh round here the tight end round, Aden Hockinson,
Speaker 1: Ingram and Djoku and Andrews all going off the board
Speaker 1: here too. And I always like to point this out.
Speaker 1: It used to be back in the day, back in
Speaker 1: the day, that once one team doubled up on tight end,
Speaker 1: I think we saw some fireworks. I don't think it's
Speaker 1: been that anymore. But once we see a second team
Speaker 1: double up, in the fact that we're seeing two tight
Speaker 1: ends here by two different teams already in the seventh round.
Speaker 1: I think things could get pretty interesting on the ends
Speaker 1: here for you know, Teams one through three, Teams ten
Speaker 1: through twelve, to see what they do and how they
Speaker 1: react to this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this draft is off the rails. I
Speaker 2: feel like I'm always saying that kind of every stream
Speaker 2: I do. But I think it's maybe more of a
Speaker 2: produc of the uniqueness that we see when we do
Speaker 2: these streams and you kind of see the unexpected and
Speaker 2: you kind of focus on that. But this one just
Speaker 2: I mean Team ten, I'm matrigued to see what they
Speaker 2: do because I put it in the chat. I mean,
Speaker 2: they are pushing guys adp up starting with Kamaro I
Speaker 2: think was middle fourth row around early digs almost two rounds.
Speaker 2: Myers was around early. I know this is not answering
Speaker 2: your question the slightest. That's okay there. They are fascinating
Speaker 2: to me. Now Khalil Shakir almost around early, So fascinating
Speaker 2: draft there. But yeah, Tyler Warren goes, I think it's
Speaker 2: gonna I think teams one and three half to be
Speaker 2: panicking a little bit because especially you know that eight
Speaker 2: through nine and remy there in the in the five hole,
Speaker 2: because you're worry now is you know, teams eight and
Speaker 2: nine with Kelsey and Laporta, which aren't the most you know,
Speaker 2: comfortable tight end situations. I would say Laporta coming off
Speaker 2: of a super disappointing year, Traff Kelsey is incredibly old
Speaker 2: despite the positive reports, and look like you kind of
Speaker 2: lost a step last year. So I mean, if they're
Speaker 2: doubling up, you assume Team twelve probably takes one because
Speaker 2: they're scared of the rush of Teams one, three and
Speaker 2: five have to be kind of shaken a little bit here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Remy is an interesting team because that dude is
Speaker 1: always just drafted based on, like, you know, what he thinks.
Speaker 2: And Remy's a beast man. We me and Turp are
Speaker 2: always like what is he doing? And then he comes
Speaker 2: and he wins the league and we look like idiots,
Speaker 2: right Like we had the Main Event one, We were
Speaker 2: like what is going on? And you know, Remy doesn't
Speaker 2: care because Remy's gonna draft how Remy drafts.
Speaker 1: And yeah, he gets his guys he.
Speaker 7: Hits.
Speaker 2: So I will say, I don't I don't mind the
Speaker 2: start for him. I actually I like this build compared
Speaker 2: to his main Event one that he did, but this
Speaker 2: is a strong start, but tight end, I'm sure he's
Speaker 2: a little worried.
Speaker 1: About uh at this point. I mean, you could make
Speaker 1: the case that when he took Jerry Judy here at
Speaker 1: the seven o five, you can make the case that
Speaker 1: he considered tight end and maybe he didn't like it
Speaker 1: Andrews or he didn't like in Djoku or Tyler Warren
Speaker 1: being a rookie ar Tucker Craft who also went in
Speaker 1: the seventh round.
Speaker 2: Tucker Craft is really climbing too.
Speaker 6: What do you make.
Speaker 2: Of the reports that, uh, that not reports Craft and
Speaker 2: Lafleur had a little to for tat in the media
Speaker 2: with his fumbling issues.
Speaker 1: You know that. I don't, that's not. Yeah, I'm very little.
Speaker 6: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't put too much stock into that. I should
Speaker 1: say that, like the people who cover the team up here,
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's making a big deal out of it.
Speaker 1: So I'm not either. What I would make a big
Speaker 1: deal about Tucker Craft is uh, this Packers offense with
Speaker 1: all these different receivers and the fact that they added
Speaker 1: two more in the drafting Christian Watson. The reports on
Speaker 1: him have been really good where he's not only running,
Speaker 1: but he's cutting and he's changing. Turf is already well aware.
Speaker 1: He's already been posting it on acts at Dave Turp.
Speaker 1: He's very excited about it. I'm tempering my expectations concern excited.
Speaker 1: The thing with Craft is like, yeah, he doesn't he
Speaker 1: doesn't leave the field and and he's out there a
Speaker 1: ton And I know Luke Musgrave is destined to get
Speaker 1: hurt again because that's what he does. But right now
Speaker 1: Musgrave's tearing it up and training camp. He's catching everything
Speaker 1: thrown to him. So I don't know. Man like it.
Speaker 1: Craft to me, I'm fine with him in best ball,
Speaker 1: but in a managed league like this, I think it
Speaker 1: could get dicey fork.
Speaker 2: I will just say, real quick, Matthew Golden's sake on packers.
Speaker 2: And if you have to go to a guest on
Speaker 2: if I was saying I go ahead, I want to
Speaker 2: get back to perfect, I'll just say, Matthew Golden, they
Speaker 2: invested the draft capital.
Speaker 1: And he just went by the way at the aight
Speaker 1: oh two today.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I've been waiting for him his ADP to rise.
Speaker 2: It hasn't. It's been remaining pretty steady. I think people
Speaker 2: are getting at Valde because I think Matthew Golden is
Speaker 2: what people wanted Christian Watson to be in. More so,
Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of that picket data too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Golden, the reports on him have been have been
Speaker 1: excellent so far today or so far in training camp
Speaker 1: as well. I might be eating some crow on that one,
Speaker 1: because I mean it's early yet. I could still be right.
Speaker 1: But I just say the same critique I have with
Speaker 1: Tucker Craft they have about Matthew Golden. I think week
Speaker 1: to week trying to figure out if this is a
Speaker 1: Golden week or if this is a Craft week, it's
Speaker 1: just gonna be maddening. You know, it's not maddening. Bringing
Speaker 1: in our next guest to ask his input from the
Speaker 1: four spot tonight. He is managing the g men and
Speaker 1: he is joining us right now on the show. Please
Speaker 1: welcome aboard, mister Gorbinko, Igor, Welcome in.
Speaker 5: Hi, guys, just give me Yeah, it's not my pick.
Speaker 1: How are you?
Speaker 5: How's everybody doing?
Speaker 1: We're doing excellent. You are on deck right now. You
Speaker 1: are seven picks in again a team that you start
Speaker 1: off heavy on the running back and then you've been
Speaker 1: splashing in some receivers. With McLaurin and DeVonta Smith, you
Speaker 1: get Jalen Hurts and Evan ingerm obviously that eagle stack.
Speaker 1: Where are you going now with this eight h nine pick, Igor, I.
Speaker 5: Have no idea I'm thinking right now. So I got
Speaker 5: sniped with just if he picks away.
Speaker 1: So give me one second. Okay, you you listen, you
Speaker 1: make the pick. I'm gonna tell everybody about your team here.
Speaker 1: So the g man, this is Igor squad from the
Speaker 1: four hole. He started off with Gibbs Irving and then
Speaker 1: Kyra and Williams. So a lot of volume, a lot
Speaker 1: of touches, a lot of upside in that backfield. He
Speaker 1: added Terry McLaurin in the fourth maybe depressed value because
Speaker 1: of the hold up situation, contract situation. And then he
Speaker 1: gets this eagle stack here in back to back picks
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts at the five oh four uh, and then
Speaker 1: DeVonta Smith at the six oh nine here, and then
Speaker 1: you know, sort of before all these tight ends went
Speaker 1: off the board in the seventh round within Djoku Andrews
Speaker 1: warning craft, Igor ends up getting Evan ingram As the
Speaker 1: seventh tight end off the board, and you have decided
Speaker 1: to add to your running back room here, Igor, tell
Speaker 1: us a little bit about your pick at the eight
Speaker 1: or nine.
Speaker 5: So this is not my my favorite pick I've been.
Speaker 5: I didn't like Joe Mixon this year was you know,
Speaker 5: so it was a big drop off at the end
Speaker 5: of the season.
Speaker 1: So he's getting older a bit.
Speaker 5: But in round eight, a lot of my players was
Speaker 5: looking for either Ricky Biriso America and Buka you know,
Speaker 5: so these players pretty much were gone. So I was
Speaker 5: hoping for one of them to drop to me, and
Speaker 5: I did not. I picked Joe Mixon, Like I said,
Speaker 5: not my favorite pick, but just because I didn't like
Speaker 5: anybody else at that spot pretty much.
Speaker 2: What do you think you think he's ready for week one?
Speaker 1: Is it a coin flip right now? You're not sure?
Speaker 5: I I'm picking him in round eight. I think is
Speaker 5: probably going to be ready by week three four.
Speaker 1: Just my opinion.
Speaker 5: I could be wrong, but I have a lot of
Speaker 5: running back deb so I don't mind keep him an
Speaker 5: a bench for a little bit. And I did not
Speaker 5: plan to start with the running backs back to back.
Speaker 5: I thought Gibbs is going to fall to number three,
Speaker 5: so I get cd M. I was fading out with
Speaker 5: Jefferson a little bit, just because of the hemmy. They
Speaker 5: like to, you know, draft injured players. But it just
Speaker 5: the board just was falling to me.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 5: I got Backy, and I got Karen Williams, and I
Speaker 5: was thinking between DK Metcalf and McLaurin. So it wasn't
Speaker 5: made easier for me by team five. So you know,
Speaker 5: just sometimes it just falls the way there is. They
Speaker 5: just have to go with the flow.
Speaker 1: Did you not think you were going to get Bucky
Speaker 1: Irving in the second? Egord I was getting a little nervous, Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I thought it's going to be taking six or six,
Speaker 5: team six or five. But I like him this year.
Speaker 5: I picked the motion in the other league. I'm betting
Speaker 5: big on him. I think he's gonna you know, I
Speaker 5: think he's going to finish top five. You are on
Speaker 5: the clock once again. Igor Imbornoni ends up taking George
Speaker 5: Kittle in the second. Jonathan Taylor goes to Remy Lebou
Speaker 5: at the two.
Speaker 1: Wait, and then Bucky Irving does indeed fault to the
Speaker 1: g met Igor Gurbenko's team here he gets Irving here.
Speaker 1: Now you got four running backs on this squad, Gibbs, Irving,
Speaker 1: Kyraen Williams Mixing. You still have the two receivers in
Speaker 1: McLaurin and Smith. Obviously you are set at the onesie positions.
Speaker 1: At least your your your top choices at both of
Speaker 1: those with Hurtz and Ingram. Take us through the thought
Speaker 1: process here, who's the pick going to be at the
Speaker 1: nine to four?
Speaker 5: Igor I'm taking with Keen and now the running back
Speaker 5: on wide receiver, just trying to figure it out who
Speaker 5: I want more.
Speaker 1: The first three picks of the ninth round ended up
Speaker 1: being Michael Pittman to Craig Mastro, the abusement park that is,
Speaker 1: Paul to Sheriff's team.
Speaker 2: He goes with Jayden Murray.
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray ends up going Jade Reid to Paul to
Speaker 1: share excuse me, and then Matthew Book takes Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: and you take one of my favorite players this year. Guy,
Speaker 1: I'm really starting to grow on or he's starting to
Speaker 1: grow on me from New York aptly joining the g
Speaker 1: Men team in this league. It is Cam scatable. Igor.
Speaker 1: What do you like about Scataboo?
Speaker 5: I think with the Tracy fanboing issues and to me,
Speaker 5: I look at scattaby I think he's well rounded ryan back,
Speaker 5: and I think by the second half of the year
Speaker 5: he should be the starter.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I think that. And maybe I'm being a
Speaker 1: little aggressive in this aiden I think that Scataboo might
Speaker 1: be the starter from the get go.
Speaker 5: That would be That would be a nice boness. And
Speaker 5: what I like about FFPC it gives us a lot
Speaker 5: of flexibility, Like, like you see, I have like five
Speaker 5: running backs. It doesn't really matter because I can start
Speaker 5: four of them and any given a week, and not
Speaker 5: to worry about the other positions. So I'm trying to
Speaker 5: go bas in my list with the best player available.
Speaker 5: So I don't know how many receivers I'm going to
Speaker 5: get at the end, hopefully few at least, but you know,
Speaker 5: you know, I don't want to say I'm nervous, but
Speaker 5: I'm a little concerned. But let's see how it's going
Speaker 5: to turn out with the receivers wise, you.
Speaker 2: Know, what do yeah? What do you think?
Speaker 1: I mean? Like, is it just a for because we're
Speaker 1: almost halfway through. Are you just gonna be pounding receivers
Speaker 1: through the through the second half of the draft. You
Speaker 1: probably have some work to do A tight end. I
Speaker 1: don't know how you feel about drafting a backup quarterback
Speaker 1: with with Jalen Hurts, but then with these five running backs.
Speaker 1: I mean, some people igor would say, like, you're good
Speaker 1: and you wouldn't even need to take a six one
Speaker 1: at all. I would say you probably still need a
Speaker 1: six one. But you think this mix over your next
Speaker 1: eleven picks is going to be dominated by wide receiver.
Speaker 5: Honestly, no cool. I'm going to continue going what I'm doing,
Speaker 5: the best play available. If all the wide receivers I
Speaker 5: want taken, I'm going to go a different route. I'm
Speaker 5: gonna go tight end or you know, a wide receiver
Speaker 5: and quarterback, I'm probably going to be fading on the left.
Speaker 5: I'm going to get the very good value on the quarterback.
Speaker 5: So I feel like we have a lot of wide receivers,
Speaker 5: even you can pick some guys up after round sixteen.
Speaker 5: At this point, there's so many wide receivers out there
Speaker 5: and a lot of this. I know there is very
Speaker 5: popular this notion you take hero B or zero running backs.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I remember we had the year where everybody got injured,
Speaker 5: But I think the workhorse running backs, you know, help
Speaker 5: win the league. I've been doing the FFPC for at
Speaker 5: least ten years now. I think this is the first
Speaker 5: time I'm talking to you guys.
Speaker 1: A nice meeting.
Speaker 5: And by the way, so I'm excited about and I
Speaker 5: love this league because I looked at the owners away
Speaker 5: was like, everybody has like a star over there, so
Speaker 5: this is going to be very very competitive league. And
Speaker 5: I'm looking at the pigs, I'd say very unorthodox. Everybody's
Speaker 5: going about it some place like somebody mentioned go up
Speaker 5: the board a lot, some place drop. So it's it's
Speaker 5: it's very interesting because every year I woke at the
Speaker 5: draft and I was like, well I woke at round
Speaker 5: four onund five, and there was no players that actually
Speaker 5: popped at that but they're around six and seven. Everybody
Speaker 5: everybody was going crazy, So I guess you know, once
Speaker 5: with you'r reaches, I'm not surprised anymore because there could
Speaker 5: be a better player in the previous rounds.
Speaker 1: At this point, it's it's it's it's interesting and and
Speaker 1: for a guy, I mean listen, like been playing with
Speaker 1: that f f PC ten plus years. Number one, thank
Speaker 1: you for the support Dave Gerzak, f f PC co founder,
Speaker 1: giving you a shout out very cool that you popped
Speaker 1: in that that WGIt you for sure, and uh listen,
Speaker 1: I the last question I want to leave you with here,
Speaker 1: Dylan Samson, there's been some Cleveland Browns chat in in
Speaker 1: the in the uh in the YouTube chat right now,
Speaker 1: Dylan Samson goes at the nine oh six, Igor, how
Speaker 1: have you been handling the Browns running back situation with
Speaker 1: this kind of nebulous like quinch On Judkins isn't signed,
Speaker 1: he's got this off field stuff. How do you treat
Speaker 1: those Browns running backs? You can throw Jerome Ford in
Speaker 1: this conversation as well.
Speaker 5: I'm a little biased because I have I did two
Speaker 5: drafts already, one before the draft and the other one
Speaker 5: about a month ago. I have Dylan Sampsons on both
Speaker 5: of my team. I really like him this year, even
Speaker 5: before Jackkins was suspended, so because I always felt he
Speaker 5: could be I know, he didn't catch a lot of passes,
Speaker 5: but I think he could be. You know, he could
Speaker 5: be a third down guy. He's very fast and shifty,
Speaker 5: and now his value is definitely going up. So I
Speaker 5: don't know what's going to happen to Jadkins. He might
Speaker 5: have a value hopefully it's going to be all resolved,
Speaker 5: you know. I hope he's not going to miss the
Speaker 5: season hopefully, you know, let's see what's going to happen.
Speaker 5: I don't want to speculate on that, but I was
Speaker 5: very high on Dylan Samson even before he was drafted
Speaker 5: by Browns because I thought I thought he and Jenkins.
Speaker 1: Like neck and neck.
Speaker 5: So I don't see the difference around two and around
Speaker 5: four in the draft per se, but I think the
Speaker 5: very similar talent.
Speaker 1: Speaking of similar talent, Igor Gurbenko is similar talent to
Speaker 1: maybe a million winner this year, million dollar winner in
Speaker 1: previous years for sure, Igor, thank you so much for
Speaker 1: popping a board tonight. We really appreciate your support of
Speaker 1: the FFBC over the last decade. Enjoy the remainder of
Speaker 1: this draft tonight, Enjoy the rest of the drafting season,
Speaker 1: and hopefully we'll get a chance to talk to you
Speaker 1: again real soon. Sounds good. Thank you, guys. It was
Speaker 1: very nice meeting everybody. Good meeting you, absolutely, Thank you, Igor. Gordbanko,
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. He's running the g Men franchise from
Speaker 1: the four spot tonight and aiden running it into a
Speaker 1: pretty good spot. I mean, I think that people would
Speaker 1: say that, well, his receivers are a little bit light,
Speaker 1: but those with that receiver room can look pretty good
Speaker 1: pretty quick. We're only in round I mean, he's only
Speaker 1: made nine picks, and certainly, I know in Best Ball
Speaker 1: it's maybe easier to improve your receiver room because you
Speaker 1: don't have to decide when you're starting these guys. But
Speaker 1: even in this, like, you know, there's some good value
Speaker 1: here in the mid rounds. I know a lot of
Speaker 1: people like to draft running back in these rounds, and
Speaker 1: obviously you look at the board right now, you're seeing
Speaker 1: a ton of green from rounds eight through ten. There's
Speaker 1: some good receiver values here available for g men that
Speaker 1: that he can really take this team to the next level.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. And you know, when you've been drafting
Speaker 2: on FFPC for a decade, I trust that you know
Speaker 2: you're gonna have the ability to react on the fly
Speaker 2: and build at that receiver room. I mean, I can't
Speaker 2: not fault anyone. I should say for going the best
Speaker 2: player available strategy. I think it's sound. I think mix
Speaker 2: In's efficiency concerns possible. What he marks Nick Chubb taking carries,
Speaker 2: I think that's kind of alleviated when you're getting him
Speaker 2: in a round eight. So I like that pick. Obviously
Speaker 2: you seem hyin Scattaboo, I saw today that you know,
Speaker 2: he's misspracticed the last couple of days. He walked off
Speaker 2: the practice field and looked a little frustrated. So that's
Speaker 2: just something I didn't want to mention for those who
Speaker 2: didn't see that, just as something to monitor. You always
Speaker 2: hope it's nothing serious, but you just you never know.
Speaker 2: I just feel like, as it's just a constant stream
Speaker 2: of injury news at the start of August, it's always
Speaker 2: an unfortunate time, but it's just constant worry for these
Speaker 2: guys who leave the practice field.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna appeuse my b here in Dave Gerzek
Speaker 1: the Dizze because he is he's he's switched to the
Speaker 1: capslock for his latest post on YouTube. Here can someone
Speaker 1: talk about James Cook at five oh six For.
Speaker 2: The love of God?
Speaker 1: Well, for the love of God is We're gonna bring
Speaker 1: it to you right now. Three twelve is, according to
Speaker 1: fantasymojo dot com, where he goes in the Big Gorilla
Speaker 1: Tournament over the last three days. Anytime we are citing
Speaker 1: ADP on this On the show, we always give credit
Speaker 1: to Fantasy Mojo Darren Rmani, who put together the pros
Speaker 1: versus Joe's challenge for the umpteenth year in a row.
Speaker 1: If you are playing in the FFPC, highly recommend you
Speaker 1: get a subscription to Fantasymojo dot com. It's infinitely helpful
Speaker 1: for you. James Cook the latest he has gone, ate it,
Speaker 1: the latest he's gone over the last three days and
Speaker 1: a big gorilla was the four h four. What happened
Speaker 1: in this draft to night? Did something happen in practice
Speaker 1: today that James Cook slipped basically a full round and
Speaker 1: a half to the five oh six tonight? Pretty crazy
Speaker 1: and certainly Frankie Bornoni is maniacally wringing his hands together
Speaker 1: and cackling to get James Cook there.
Speaker 2: I mean, bulky, we have this draft has Hunter Henry
Speaker 2: into a frown. The earliest Hunter Henry's gone was the
Speaker 2: eleven threat. He's thirteenth round on average. Like, I don't
Speaker 2: I'm not questioning anything. You're also asking someone who's not
Speaker 2: a James Cook fan. I don't even know if he's
Speaker 2: the best running back on that roster. That's me being
Speaker 2: biased as a Kentucky fan, but also just I'm not
Speaker 2: a James Cook believer. As I kind of said earlier,
Speaker 2: I believe a strong touchdown regression is coming. This is
Speaker 2: a guy who didn't score touchdowns, was known for n not
Speaker 2: scoring touchdowns.
Speaker 7: Al sudden.
Speaker 2: He jumps up to eighteen total last year. That's coming
Speaker 2: back down. You have the whole holding situation. We'll see.
Speaker 2: Obviously he's more than likely going to play, but you
Speaker 2: know is miss time in camp. We know that is
Speaker 2: not conducive too fast starts. So I'm not a believer
Speaker 2: in Cook. I'm surprised as adp hasn't fallen further. I
Speaker 2: will say it's surprising, But when you kind of look
Speaker 2: at that round, that fourth round, when he's kind of
Speaker 2: normally been going, you're looking at it was essentially just
Speaker 2: all receivers and quarterbacks. Obviously a little surprising to see
Speaker 2: James Connor out of him Team one. Obviously like the
Speaker 2: upside of Arjie Harvey and tre Von Henderson, rookies always
Speaker 2: way more sexy to draft than James Cook. But it
Speaker 2: was just a quarterback and receiver run that was the
Speaker 2: byproduct of James Cook's fall, not really people passing under
Speaker 2: too much. Roughly, there was three running backs taken over him.
Speaker 2: It was just the receivers got pushed up.
Speaker 1: So James Cook, this is gonna blow you away. James
Speaker 1: Cook received. Now this is And he had a baller
Speaker 1: a year last year, right.
Speaker 7: James Cook.
Speaker 1: And obviously that a lot of that was touchdown influenced.
Speaker 1: He had under fifty percent of offensive snaps in his
Speaker 1: games played. Think about that for a second. He was
Speaker 1: on the field less than he was off the field
Speaker 1: last year. Despite putting up a baller season, he still
Speaker 1: got Ray Davis. You still got Ty Johnson as well.
Speaker 1: And Ty Johnson on third down last year had one
Speaker 1: hundred and forty nine snaps James Cook twenty seven. This
Speaker 1: is a massive regression to the mean. And I'll say this,
Speaker 1: I understand the arguments. Understand the arguments in total for
Speaker 1: James Cook. And why he fell tonight. I don't know
Speaker 1: why he's falling a full round and a half, Like,
Speaker 1: is this big gorilla setting the new ADP with James Cook.
Speaker 2: Again? I think you have to take it into vacuum though,
Speaker 2: because he's been going as RB sixteen he falls to
Speaker 2: RB twenty. I think his fall was more of a
Speaker 2: factor of people getting caught up at the start with
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks, and then it was just people were hammering receivers.
Speaker 2: So I don't know how much of the reflection is
Speaker 2: on Cook. I mean, clearly there is to a degree
Speaker 2: when you have Henderson Harvey Conner going before him, But
Speaker 2: I think you have to kind of look at it
Speaker 2: within within the draft itself and kind of see what
Speaker 2: was going on. But I mean, as Dave points out
Speaker 2: in the chat, is as even not as a day
Speaker 2: James Cook fan, I mean, you're doing that every time
Speaker 2: there at the at the what the five oh six,
Speaker 2: because you got it. You have now a very different
Speaker 2: team than most because you're getting almost a round of
Speaker 2: full value on James Cook.
Speaker 1: You know What's what's funny too, is and frankim Bornoni,
Speaker 1: who took him at the five oh six, I wonder
Speaker 1: if he considered him at the four oh seven where
Speaker 1: he took Raschi Rice because he did not have a
Speaker 1: running back on his squad yet, And then when Cook
Speaker 1: came back to it the five oh six, it's like
Speaker 1: that's when you go on the internet, you google James
Speaker 1: Cook and see make sure he's number one alive, number
Speaker 1: two still healthy and then then you make the pick.
Speaker 1: So yeah, wild stuff there tonight for James Cook falling
Speaker 1: all the way to the five oh six tonight. We
Speaker 1: had Paul Schaterra, Paul Paul tishera on earlier and I
Speaker 1: can't remember who said it in the in the chat aiden,
Speaker 1: but there were some people talking positively about his team,
Speaker 1: liking his build. Obviously. He went hero RB here with
Speaker 1: Bijon Robert Jean Robinson at the at the one o two,
Speaker 1: pounded it with McConkey Wilson. He made that pick live
Speaker 1: on the air Worthy and then Whiskey Bill, James and
Speaker 1: Williams here at the in the fifth round. And then
Speaker 1: he's added I mean, he's just kind of jumping around here.
Speaker 1: He's added to the running back room. He brought another
Speaker 1: receiver into with Jayden Reid at the nine h two.
Speaker 1: Hockinson is is his tight end in the seventh round,
Speaker 1: which I think is good value. I'd have to mojo
Speaker 1: that up to make sure I'm speaking correctly on that.
Speaker 1: And then Justin Fields is his number one quarterback here
Speaker 1: in the eleventh. As we have now begun the second
Speaker 1: half of the draft, this is a good squad. What
Speaker 1: do you make of this build here for Paul TASCHERA
Speaker 1: drafting from.
Speaker 2: The two hole. Yeah, I mean, I think this is
Speaker 2: one of my favorite drafts in this in this league
Speaker 2: so far. Obviously kind of talked about Bijon and Ladd
Speaker 2: is a great start. You have Wilson stacked with fields,
Speaker 2: and on top of that, I think Field is a
Speaker 2: standalone value is great because of that that rushing floor.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's just got to stay healthy. But we've
Speaker 2: seen even though he is not even close to an
Speaker 2: average NFL passer from a fantasy player, he's arguably elite
Speaker 2: because he rushes the ball so much. You know, David Montgomery,
Speaker 2: if you're going to go here, a running back is
Speaker 2: a second running back to head. Not only that, his
Speaker 2: receivers obviously mentioned Laden Wilson, but Worthy and Jamo are
Speaker 2: both huge upside plays could burn you some weeks, but
Speaker 2: their huge weeks are gonna could single handly win you matchups.
Speaker 2: Dobbins I actually really do like as much as I
Speaker 2: like Harvey. If Dobbins is not going to stay healthy,
Speaker 2: unfortunately that's just his mo. But for the weeks he
Speaker 2: does look shock me looking great last year. And Sean
Speaker 2: Payton I think, you know, can utilize multiple running backs,
Speaker 2: and especially as Harvey acklemans to the NFL, who knows
Speaker 2: where his blocking's going to be. I think Dobbin's a
Speaker 2: good value. Don't love Javonte Williams, don't love anything in
Speaker 2: that Cowboys running back room, but you could do worse
Speaker 2: than possibly having an RB one on what has notoriously
Speaker 2: been a good rushing team. And honestly, I'm intrigued to
Speaker 2: hear what your thoughts are on Jaden Reid. I hyped
Speaker 2: on Matthew Golden. We thought the Reid breakout was coming
Speaker 2: after Week one last year, you know, But then how
Speaker 2: much of his struggles and inconsistencies in your mind was
Speaker 2: that high ankle spread, which we know SAP players And
Speaker 2: maybe are we do for a post type sleeper year
Speaker 2: or is this a guy who's just going to be
Speaker 2: inconsistent and maybe not achieved the hype that he was
Speaker 2: bestowed last year.
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 1: A few things on Jayden Reid. Number one, wasn't it
Speaker 1: a shoulder injury late last season? I thought it was
Speaker 1: a shoulder rather than.
Speaker 2: That he had he had a high ankle or early
Speaker 2: week three, Week two of those that kind of form Okay.
Speaker 1: So then he got hurt later on in the season,
Speaker 1: and I don't think he missed any games. He played
Speaker 1: through it. And that was a shoulder injury. And the
Speaker 1: reason I bring this up is because if you look
Speaker 1: at the snaps and his touches after that shoulder injury,
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. It was like week twelve,
Speaker 1: week thirteen, something like that. Like Matt Lafleur just never
Speaker 1: used him at that point, just never. He didn't even
Speaker 1: give him a chance to run the ball with them.
Speaker 1: They weren't throwing to them, they weren't doing anything with
Speaker 1: Jayden Reid. Meanwhile, you know Wix is out there a
Speaker 1: ton and Dobbs and watching everything. So I am of
Speaker 1: the belief that the the the shoulder injury for Reid
Speaker 1: last year just killed him. And and I know he
Speaker 1: had he said he didn't have surgery on it, but
Speaker 1: like it took him like a month or two to
Speaker 1: fully recover from that shoulder injury. So Number One, I
Speaker 1: think that was huge. Number Two Drew Rosenhaus. It was
Speaker 1: his new agent this offseason, fired his current agent hired
Speaker 1: Drew Rosenhaus, and then after the Packers end up drafting
Speaker 1: Matthew Golden and Savian Williams. Drew Rosenhause meets with Brian Guodacunz,
Speaker 1: the GM of the Packers, and apparently this was more
Speaker 1: of a meeting. The way it was played off in
Speaker 1: the press was that, oh, Rosenhaus is demanding an explanation,
Speaker 1: explanation for his client. Why would you do this to
Speaker 1: my client, Jayden Reid? He's your number one receiver? And
Speaker 1: Jane Reid explained later that this was more of just like, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm Jayden's new agent. Just want to get to you know,
Speaker 1: know you talk about Jaye read a little bit better.
Speaker 1: This is not a thing on like the Packers, you know,
Speaker 1: not believing in Read. And then the last thing I'll
Speaker 1: mention on this, Brian Gudacunz said, and you can google this.
Speaker 1: I've tried to find the exact quote, but reputable people
Speaker 1: have said this. Guda kun said that the draft picks
Speaker 1: of Golden and save Williams do not affect Jayden reid
Speaker 1: status as the number one receiver on this team. So
Speaker 1: I so long story short, I know I say I
Speaker 1: don't draft Packers receivers and tight ends because it could
Speaker 1: be a week to week thing. For all of them.
Speaker 1: If there's one Packers receiver I've been drafting this year
Speaker 1: Packers pass catcher hasn't been Tucker Craft. It hasn't been
Speaker 1: Matthew Golden, it hasn't been Dobbs. It's been Jayden Reed.
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't say I've been drafting him a ton,
Speaker 1: but I'm a believer in red as the in my opinion,
Speaker 1: if there's any trustworthy, consistent receiver on this team this
Speaker 1: year for Green Bay, it's it's not any of those
Speaker 1: other guys. For me Aiden, it's Jayden Reid.
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I'm I don't mind the pick, especially in
Speaker 2: the ninth round, because this is a guy I'm of
Speaker 2: the belief that with that high ankle, we've seen that
Speaker 2: what seen what that does to players, especially players you know,
Speaker 2: rely on speed, and it seems like he was beat
Speaker 2: up last year, which, if you want to say map's
Speaker 2: a concern understandable with the way they use in the size,
Speaker 2: but I think we've seen what he can do. I
Speaker 2: mean your fifth receiver as well. I mean it's just
Speaker 2: another addition to what's been a really good building. As
Speaker 2: I said, there's only maybe one pick. I'm like, I
Speaker 2: think Dave also points out to the chat Dave has
Speaker 2: been and Dave has been loving this drunk draft to
Speaker 2: talk about who's dropping because the value is insane, and
Speaker 2: Hockinson's another one. As I said, Jamonte Williams is maybe
Speaker 2: the only one. I'm like, hey, I don't know, you
Speaker 2: know if I would have done that, but you know
Speaker 2: you're in the tenth round, and the running back groups
Speaker 2: are what they are, so really good draft from team too.
Speaker 1: So Dave wanted to point this out to Jane Reid's
Speaker 1: snap percentage last year was sixty three percent, which, obviously,
Speaker 1: as Pete Campbell would tell us, not great, Bob, But
Speaker 1: I do want to look this up just to make
Speaker 1: sure I'm explaining this properly. So this dude did not
Speaker 1: get so weeks one through nine he had at least
Speaker 1: five catches. Excuse me, you had at least four catches,
Speaker 1: which I know is not great, but at least four
Speaker 1: catches one, two, three, four, five six times in nine weeks.
Speaker 1: Right after that he had one game, this is after
Speaker 1: the shoulder injury. He had one game where he had
Speaker 1: five catches. So I'm still of the belief that, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, his snapshare is down, and I'm certainly not
Speaker 1: advocating for everybody to take Jade and Read ahead of ADP.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's necessarily going to be on
Speaker 1: the field a ton more than he was last year.
Speaker 1: You're drafting him at your own risk. But I will
Speaker 1: say that I think this shoulder injury, which again took
Speaker 1: months to recover from, really affected not only him being
Speaker 1: on the field, but Lafleure kind of protecting him and
Speaker 1: making sure that he is he's able to play in
Speaker 1: the postseason as well. And I think the numbers back
Speaker 1: that up that this was just a guy that for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, we didn't know why they're going away from him,
Speaker 1: they just did never give him a chance. And that's
Speaker 1: the one guy if I trust anybody, and trust is
Speaker 1: a strong word, as Matthew Berry would say, but if
Speaker 1: there's one guy I trust, it's Read. And where did
Speaker 1: he go tonight? We're just talking about this ninth round?
Speaker 7: Right? Yeah?
Speaker 6: I know too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's fine.
Speaker 6: Moving on.
Speaker 1: I don't know how this turned into the Jayden Reid Show,
Speaker 1: but apologies on that. Let's talk about some former Kentucky Wildcats.
Speaker 1: Give us the latest on Wandale Robinson, or something aiden
Speaker 1: that we shifted to more of your expertise.
Speaker 2: You can, I can.
Speaker 1: No, We're gonna we will lose hundreds and thousands of
Speaker 1: if we do that. Let's yeah, yeah, exactly, Let's get
Speaker 1: the latest that will love is he's he's rubbing man's
Speaker 1: on his shoulder right now. Isaiah likely goes at the
Speaker 1: twelve oh one tonight to see t ESPN. That's Brady
Speaker 1: Stewart squad. We don't know. This is another player that
Speaker 1: we don't know when he's gonna play again. It could
Speaker 1: be week one, it might be before week one, it
Speaker 1: might be after week one. And what's kind of buddying
Speaker 1: the waters a little bit with Likely is his head
Speaker 1: coach said earlier this offseason, which great. I think Pharoll
Speaker 1: brought this up to. You know, head coaches are always
Speaker 1: going to talk up their players. But somebody said, oh,
Speaker 1: what are your expectations for Isaiah Likely this year? And
Speaker 1: he said, well, for him to be an All Pro?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, what, how is he going to be
Speaker 1: an All Pro? Behind Mark Andrews. How's it going to
Speaker 1: be an All Pro? With Jay Flowers catching passes in
Speaker 1: front of him? How's it going to be an all pro,
Speaker 1: not being an option that's looked at ahead of Rashad Bateman,
Speaker 1: who they just paid, So that kind of caught me
Speaker 1: off guard. Likely, God, where the hell is Scott Hoyt tonight?
Speaker 1: He's the Isaiah likely president of the fan club here
Speaker 1: and he goes in the twelfth round. Is this the
Speaker 1: right spot in the tight end premium league to be
Speaker 1: drafting Isaiah? Likely? Joe Del's and Arrow has always said
Speaker 1: there's no such thing as a bad pick after the
Speaker 1: tenth round, So I guess if you want to pair
Speaker 1: him with Tucker Craft, I would still look at another
Speaker 1: tight end Brady on this squad if I was drafting it.
Speaker 1: But likely is that the right spot for him to go,
Speaker 1: given that we just don't know what's going on with
Speaker 1: that leg injury right now?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could even take him a little earlier and
Speaker 2: I wouldn't knock it at all. Here's why I think
Speaker 2: Mark Andrews, regardless of how serious the rumors were. Where
Speaker 2: there's smoke, there's fire, and there was rumors right that
Speaker 2: Mark Andrews is possibly in the tray block, you know,
Speaker 2: cat purposes. Mark Andrews obviously struggled last year. He's getting older.
Speaker 2: They love Likely. We saw what Likely can do week one.
Speaker 2: Obviously that led to some crazy draft boards in Vegas,
Speaker 2: as you and me saw, but it did feels up
Speaker 2: until this injury, the Likely and Andrews ADP was growing
Speaker 2: closer and closer, and there was maybe even a point
Speaker 2: where we would switch up, as you know Andrews older
Speaker 2: memories of the drop and the playoffs come. And now
Speaker 2: this injury has kind of shifted it back. But I
Speaker 2: think you're thinking long term here in round twelve and
Speaker 2: come maybe even mid season when he's healthy. I think
Speaker 2: it's more than possible that Isaiah Likely is the tight
Speaker 2: end to own in Baltimore over Mork Andrews. So I
Speaker 2: think that's a great value in round twelve. I think
Speaker 2: you can't be scared off with the injury because you're
Speaker 2: in these later rounds. Now, you already have your tight
Speaker 2: end one and Tucker Craft I agree with you, they
Speaker 2: should probably find another one just for those early weeks.
Speaker 2: But this is absolutely where you should be taking Isaiah Likely,
Speaker 2: maybe even a little earlier, because you could be getting
Speaker 2: a top five tight end come year's end, and the
Speaker 2: guy who's going in the first four rounds season.
Speaker 1: The drunkest part of the draft of this draft is
Speaker 1: James Cook, right, like, that's the overseer.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have a hot thing. I think it's Hunter Henry. Okay,
Speaker 2: all right?
Speaker 1: So that was that was My next question is is
Speaker 1: if that was the drunkest part, what's the second second?
Speaker 2: Drugs Henry?
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd love it and we'll go on Mojo.
Speaker 1: We should find this out. Has Hunter Henry ever been
Speaker 1: drafted before Dallas Goddard in any big Gorilla draft this year?
Speaker 1: And I don't know if the answer is yes to that,
Speaker 1: but Craig Mastro ends up getting both of them on
Speaker 1: the team. Now, in Mastro's defense, is there something to
Speaker 1: be said about Mike Rabel and Josh McDaniels, who don't
Speaker 1: necessarily like playing rookies a whole lot, at least historically,
Speaker 1: and two of their better offensive weapons this year are rookies,
Speaker 1: and Kyle Williams and Trevon Henderson. You have Stefan Diggs,
Speaker 1: who I know has been looking very good, but he's
Speaker 1: still on the wrong side of thirty coming off a
Speaker 1: very serious knee injury. Is there something to be said
Speaker 1: for Hunter Henry being the top target on an ascendant
Speaker 1: offense in a tight end premium format, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry was pretty good last year.
Speaker 2: For the record, I don't actually mind Hunter Henry as
Speaker 2: a player at all, but you know, when his ADP
Speaker 2: is in the thirteenth round, taking him at the end
Speaker 2: of the eighth is where the issue lies for me. Obviously,
Speaker 2: there was a huge tight end run. We had kind
Speaker 2: of discussed that and how Team one and three would
Speaker 2: react back in round eight, and they both took tight
Speaker 2: ends in that round. I'm almost at the belief at
Speaker 2: that point you just pivot and kind of completely punt
Speaker 2: on tight end and just take you know, three flyers late.
Speaker 2: But like you could have done that with Hunter Henry assumably,
Speaker 2: and you know, even in round ten got her. Henry's
Speaker 2: tough because he did have a good year last year.
Speaker 2: Don't mind, it's just relative to the value of the pick.
Speaker 2: That's an eighth round selection on a guy who you
Speaker 2: probably got at least two or three rounds later. Dallas
Speaker 2: Goddard's really tough for me to manage because of how
Speaker 2: many maus are out of feed in Philadelphia between Saquan
Speaker 2: Devonte Smith, AJ Brown and there's not going to be
Speaker 2: games right where they're just running the ball and god,
Speaker 2: it's not you know, involved in the passing him that
Speaker 2: much because of limited pass share, and those shares are
Speaker 2: going to aj Brown Defonte Smith. Tenth round. Again, you
Speaker 2: can't knock it too much, especially as what is that
Speaker 2: tight end seventeen, But just overall as a player, he's
Speaker 2: tough because he's what the fourth option at best on
Speaker 2: that team, and that's just a tough pill to swallow,
Speaker 2: especially when there's going to be games where they're notough
Speaker 2: throwing the ball that much.
Speaker 1: If Farrell was still here, he would be agreeing with you.
Speaker 1: He is not a Dallas Goddard fan this year aiden
Speaker 1: for sure. Jacory krossky Merritt Bill Merritt as the kids
Speaker 1: call him, goes at the thirteen oh two to Paul
Speaker 1: to share it tonight. This guy has been ascended. This
Speaker 1: guy is going up draft boards and there's a lot
Speaker 1: of things working for him. Number One, he's been playing well.
Speaker 1: The reports out of camp has been been very fairly good.
Speaker 1: And I think that you know, the bar to jump
Speaker 1: over to become a successful integral part of that commander's backfield.
Speaker 1: It's not like he has to jump over Zach Charbona
Speaker 1: and Ken Walker. He doesn't have to jump over Jamiir
Speaker 1: Gibbs and David Montgomery. He's got to jump over Brian Robinson,
Speaker 1: and he's got to jump over Austin Eckler, Krossky Merritt.
Speaker 1: I think this guy continues to rise up. He know
Speaker 1: he's going to get run in preseason, and if he
Speaker 1: shows up there, even if he's going against like you know,
Speaker 1: third and fourth string defenders, he's still going to rise.
Speaker 1: Where do you stand at, Jakoori, krossky Merrit this year
Speaker 1: Because this is a guy I've been doing some FOMO
Speaker 1: picks with him, like I feel like I should be
Speaker 1: getting him more. I don't want to miss out on
Speaker 1: a player like this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so seeming drafts like this does make me feel
Speaker 2: better because this is now the third straight show that
Speaker 2: I've been on wharm bringing So but me and Jake Finnetti,
Speaker 2: who's you know works with us here at FFBC, we
Speaker 2: represented the company the Serious Experts Fantasy Draft, Best Ball
Speaker 2: Bestball League seventeen teams. This was two weeks ago. We
Speaker 2: got JCM in round eighteen, horrible running backer in Bulky.
Speaker 2: By the way, we went here a running back with genty.
Speaker 2: Justice Hill's our current RB two, So that's where it's at.
Speaker 2: But JCM in round eighteen maybe could patch things up
Speaker 2: if he emerges. Brian Robinson feels just like a guy
Speaker 2: who he's not a sexy pick, and he'll he'll get
Speaker 2: it done, but he's just going to have so many
Speaker 2: weeks of completely inefficient games where he doesn't get in
Speaker 2: the end zone. It's just a complete bust. Eckler's going
Speaker 2: to have his moments too. It just feels kind of
Speaker 2: like a backfield where every guy's going to have their
Speaker 2: moments and it might be a little tough to sort through,
Speaker 2: but in terms of value, if I'm looking where Brian
Speaker 2: Robinson go in this draft, he went in round jeez,
Speaker 2: I completely blanking ninth, round nine five. There we go,
Speaker 2: like Brian Robinson nine five and help me out on
Speaker 2: Austin Eckler because it's eleven eleven at night here.
Speaker 1: On this Austin Eckler was eleven o eight tonight at.
Speaker 2: It all right, so relative to that, honestly, if I'm
Speaker 2: looking through it, it probably actually is Eckler at the
Speaker 2: eleven oh eight, but closely followed by JCM at the
Speaker 2: thirteen oh two. I'm completely staying away from Brian Robinson.
Speaker 2: Not at all comparable players by any means, but by
Speaker 2: the same rationale where every year Derrick Henry I think
Speaker 2: Jamie Cox was talking about every year, I'm like, this
Speaker 2: is the year he, you know, goes down a cliff
Speaker 2: at a much, much, much lesser level. The complete Walmart
Speaker 2: version of that is Brian Robinson the last couple of years. Right,
Speaker 2: It's always since his rookie year end, and I'm just like,
Speaker 2: they're gonna go away from him, and they never fully do.
Speaker 2: They always hint at it, and then they come back
Speaker 2: to him. But this year I'm making on a Brian
Speaker 2: Robinson fall off due to those underlying inefficient numbers, And yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm buying JCM. He's going to continue to rise. I
Speaker 2: do wonder if there gets to a point though, where
Speaker 2: it becomes a little too much. Yeah, it's getting there,
Speaker 2: even as a JCM guy, and that's largely because of
Speaker 2: Sean Green, who and every single one of me in
Speaker 2: terms of live draft coverages is there in the chat.
Speaker 2: I want to give him a little shout out hyping
Speaker 2: up JCM. It's crazy like since like March, but I
Speaker 2: always go back to one thing. This is This is
Speaker 2: real quick and I'm rambling a bit, but this year's
Speaker 2: running back rookie class was so deep people can get
Speaker 2: and you know, FFVC players are well aware, they know this,
Speaker 2: but to the general public, right fantasy playing public, they
Speaker 2: see a six round pick, I think that guy's a
Speaker 2: Day three pick. A lot of these guys would have
Speaker 2: been Day two picks, and pretty much any other running
Speaker 2: back class. It just got pushed down because of just
Speaker 2: how and ordinately deep this class was. So I'm not
Speaker 2: also looking at some of these guys as you know,
Speaker 2: a fifth round pick, six around pick, because I don't
Speaker 2: think it matters as much as pretty much every other
Speaker 2: year due to that deep draft class. So yeah, long story,
Speaker 2: short in on JCM, but I'm wondering at what point
Speaker 2: that price will be too high. I don't know what
Speaker 2: it is yet, but I'm low when I see it.
Speaker 1: The thing I want to say here about the Dizzle's
Speaker 1: last post here Jacorey Krossky Merrit over Tyler Elgier and
Speaker 1: DJ Gidden seems incorrect. I want number one. I basically
Speaker 1: agree with that sentiment Crosskey Merrit as far as we know,
Speaker 1: as far as the reports go.
Speaker 2: Right now, he's the number three running back.
Speaker 1: It's tough for me to say, Hey, I'm gonna draft
Speaker 1: this guy on Washington, who's the number three guy over
Speaker 1: Tyler Algier, who's an injury away from being the starting
Speaker 1: running back in Atlanta pretty much by himself. Now Giddins.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit more nebulous there because the reporting
Speaker 1: Jared Smoler was just talking about this from Draft Sharks
Speaker 1: the other day, is like, you know, everybody's talking about
Speaker 1: all the Beat reporters are focusing on this Anthony Richardson
Speaker 1: versus Daniel Jones, Like, how about giving us some knowledge
Speaker 1: on Khalil Herbert versus DJ Giddens, Right, Like, who's who's
Speaker 1: running with the twos there? Like, we don't even know
Speaker 1: who the backup is? Is it Giddins or is it
Speaker 1: is it? Is it Herbert? And I'd like to know
Speaker 1: that too.
Speaker 2: I like, I like Giddens to win that, And I
Speaker 2: think the likelihood of Jonathan Taylor just again historically getting
Speaker 2: hurt and seeding that role for some time comparatively the
Speaker 2: Beijon is much higher.
Speaker 7: So I agree with.
Speaker 2: Dave on Giddens over over Krafsky merrit. I think you
Speaker 2: also have to think though Tyler Aljier is one away.
Speaker 2: But you know it's just tough because now you already
Speaker 2: have Bijeon. So that's a really interesting decision. I'm intrigued
Speaker 2: here because I was working through a thought. Wards. Let's
Speaker 2: say you go for the upside, uh with JCM and
Speaker 2: the possibility and that high powerate offense versus banking out
Speaker 2: a Beajon. But when you already drafted Bijon at too
Speaker 2: in a managed league, Balky, you're in the paul to
Speaker 2: share his shoes? Are you taking Tyler Algier here to
Speaker 2: start the thirteenth Roundyes, then you're guaranteed to have the
Speaker 2: Falcons RB one or or or Is that not a
Speaker 2: philosophy you buy by?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have changed my philosophy on this. I would
Speaker 1: say probably like five or six years ago. I always
Speaker 1: like with okay, so there was this time with Arian
Speaker 1: Foster and Ben Tate right where you could Priest Holmes
Speaker 1: and Larry Johnson was like this too, way back in
Speaker 1: the day, where like, yeah, if you want to lock
Speaker 1: up those guys, that's fine, but that's an expensive back.
Speaker 2: You got to hold on to them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you gotta hold on to number one. But
Speaker 1: then that's you're you're soaking like seventh or eighth round
Speaker 1: draft capital into a backup. And and so I didn't
Speaker 1: like the idea of having this really dominant player in
Speaker 1: the first round or second round or whatever. But then
Speaker 1: it comes with the caveat of he kind of costs
Speaker 1: you two picks because then you got to soak another
Speaker 1: pick into his backup. Now normally, and this is what
Speaker 1: I would do if I was Paul Tashia. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to win that million bucks, and I don't know if
Speaker 1: the optimal strategy here is to go Robinson in the
Speaker 1: first and then well, Algiers gone now because Krossky merrits dead.
Speaker 1: But I think I listen, we could quibble about whether
Speaker 1: Krossky Marrit should have been the pick, but I like
Speaker 1: grabbing other people's backups, right, Like I want to have
Speaker 1: my variance increase. I want when win in that championship sprint,
Speaker 1: that three week sprint at the end of the year,
Speaker 1: I want Bjon Robins or Jon Robinson healthy. But I
Speaker 1: also want maybe Cory Krossky Merrit to be a starter
Speaker 1: at that point.
Speaker 2: And I was saying, if Bejon gets hurt. Even if
Speaker 2: you have a l year, you're you're probably winning at all.
Speaker 2: So he's going is going to say healthy and which
Speaker 2: running back maybe is not only the most high powered offense,
Speaker 2: but no positive training camp reports and might actually especially
Speaker 2: come the champions Championship sprint could be the RB one
Speaker 2: for this team hypothetically, Like it's like, if I'm looking
Speaker 2: at this roster, which I did praise, and I do
Speaker 2: like the JCM pick in that regard, he very easily
Speaker 2: he could have taken JCM over I you and then
Speaker 2: taken Algie or vice versa. I don't think the IU
Speaker 2: pick was necessary. Sarry, with how load of his receiving
Speaker 2: corps was. Are you coming off a bad year, coming
Speaker 2: off of multiple torn ligaments in the knee. So even
Speaker 2: if you're thinking, oh, championship sprint, you know he's my
Speaker 2: sixth receiver, maybe I'll do something. I think it's very
Speaker 2: possible that he could get cut at some point during
Speaker 2: the year because of how much time he's missing. So
Speaker 2: maybe that's where you could have slotted in Algier. But no,
Speaker 2: when you jack the John Robinson, you're expecting to stay healthy.
Speaker 2: You went here, a running back might as well take
Speaker 2: a shot and a guy who very well could end
Speaker 2: up being an exciting rookie RB one in an exciting
Speaker 2: commander's offense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's how I view it. Like Krossky Merrit, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's probably not gonna come through, But I just don't
Speaker 1: know if that the upside of taking Algier it somehow
Speaker 1: keeps your team afloat for a million bucks. I think
Speaker 1: you need stuff going your way and you got a
Speaker 1: You know, it's like the guy who he praised to
Speaker 1: God every year for twenty years. He said, God, please
Speaker 1: help me win the lottery. God, please help me win
Speaker 1: the lottery, And finally, after twenty years of not winning,
Speaker 1: a God responds back to him, says, Hey, help me
Speaker 1: out buy a ticket. Right like you, you got to
Speaker 1: be able to have your yourself. Having these opportunities for
Speaker 1: these players to assent Crosskey Merrit could be cut before
Speaker 1: the season starts. We don't know.
Speaker 2: Like as far as I remember, I remember little Aiden
Speaker 2: watching a certain six round running back tear it up
Speaker 2: in his rookie year in Washington with Alfred Moore, So
Speaker 2: maybe history of.
Speaker 1: R Yeah, Alfred Morris is another good example too. Where
Speaker 1: he was going he wasn't even being really drafted until
Speaker 1: like late August, and then he caught fire and then
Speaker 1: everybody was drafting him late in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2: I mean different position, but that was Puka two years ago,
Speaker 2: barely being drafted and then and you know some of
Speaker 2: these reports, and even come week one, right like the
Speaker 2: last drafts on that Saturday Sunday before the season started,
Speaker 2: it was still really only like thirteen fourteenth round. He
Speaker 2: rose up to. It's probably in my lifetime, especially since
Speaker 2: starting work at this company in twenty twenty two, the
Speaker 2: best value pick by far in my time with this company.
Speaker 1: So I hated it because in my and I knew
Speaker 1: this was like a unicorn type thing, that nikoua thing
Speaker 1: was just like a once in a ten year thing.
Speaker 1: And I hated it in because I knew even though
Speaker 1: I knew that, in my back of my mind, I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I gotta find.
Speaker 2: This year's Nikua. I gotta find this, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. I knew that there was this year who's
Speaker 2: just go puk no one, no one's going to be
Speaker 2: Pooka Nakua and for another like ten years just doesn't happen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have not talked about Adam Hans squad from
Speaker 1: the eighth spot tonight. Adam is normally he's a very
Speaker 1: active poster, but I'm sure he's very busy with the
Speaker 1: draft tonight.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Locked in, He's locked in.
Speaker 1: He's locked in.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So you look at his squad here, a lot of
Speaker 1: explosive players in the first three rounds of neighbors a
Speaker 1: Chan and Smid, the Jigbak, some floor guys with Evans
Speaker 1: and Kelsey. I like the Hubbard pick here in the
Speaker 1: sixth round. I think O Doonsey could pay off in
Speaker 1: the seventh Tony Pollard, Austin Eckler, Tyler, Algier, Jark Weis,
Speaker 1: Hunter again, injury away type guys, Hunters probably two injuries away,
Speaker 1: and then.
Speaker 2: Hunter is Hunter is one injury away Hunter and Williams.
Speaker 2: You just hate well. Sean mcvain might hate by Koram
Speaker 2: not as much, but why would.
Speaker 6: They draft him?
Speaker 1: Was he a second old pick last year.
Speaker 2: Third pick and guess what, barely played and then he
Speaker 2: gets hurt. No, they're and and and Sean McVay has
Speaker 2: talked about coach speak. He's been hyping up dark with
Speaker 2: I really liked it this team in my head. Here's
Speaker 2: how this draft went Molik, Neighbors, Devon hen start unbelievable.
Speaker 2: That's a fantastic start. H and the great value JSM
Speaker 2: love it. Mike Evans, Travis Kelsey, don't love that. Don't
Speaker 2: love that. You know you don't love the you don't
Speaker 2: like Evans supporting supporting senior citizens that Alon. But then
Speaker 2: we're back with Shubo doonza. He gets it right back
Speaker 2: on track for me, you know, a little little stack
Speaker 2: action with Caleb and o'doonza and then Evans and Baker,
Speaker 2: Tony Pollard. I think I think people are sleeping on
Speaker 2: the Titans offense. I'm a big believer in Calvin Ridley,
Speaker 2: cam Ward and Tony Pollard, who had a really good year.
Speaker 2: I mentioned I like Ackler's value, Ferguson's good value. Late
Speaker 2: just signed the contract, and Algierant Hunter is kind of
Speaker 2: what you just said right about, you know, drafting other
Speaker 2: guys backups.
Speaker 7: He has that.
Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of Hunter. I've been not praying
Speaker 2: on but I've been thinking that Karen Williams downfall has
Speaker 2: been coming for the past like two years now, because
Speaker 2: it's just the underlying numbers are not good. I'm just
Speaker 2: but for fantasy wise, he just stumbles into the end
Speaker 2: zone constantly, like all credit to him, and Sean McVay
Speaker 2: completely trusts him, So what can you do? But you
Speaker 2: know another guy Kyle Williams, who hasn't necessarily shown the
Speaker 2: propensity to play a full season, so at some point
Speaker 2: you would expect someone else to be getting carries. And
Speaker 2: I like taking the bet on Hunter.
Speaker 1: What do you make of the I know you don't
Speaker 1: like the Kelsey pick, but what do you make of
Speaker 1: backing that up with Ferguson in the tenth round?
Speaker 2: Who the makes it much better? Especially that that Cowboys
Speaker 2: passing attack. I think Dak is on the downhill of
Speaker 2: his career, but it's going to improve from last year.
Speaker 1: It's an odd numbered year, though Prescott crushes it, Yes
Speaker 1: he does, and I'm actually not analysis it was right
Speaker 1: a complete like news drop dump late at night because
Speaker 1: they didn't want to get ship on.
Speaker 2: But I don't mind the Shottenheim or higher. You know,
Speaker 2: I think he's bided his time. He's has a lot
Speaker 2: of experience, and you know, it wasn't too long ago
Speaker 2: that this was a guy who was one of the
Speaker 2: hottest names, and he has a good relationship with Dak
Speaker 2: they have the weapons and Ferguson right, this is another guy.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't necessary call him a post type sleeper. But so
Speaker 2: this guy a couple of two years ago was getting
Speaker 2: drafted pretty highly. And then you know Dallas between injuries,
Speaker 2: his injuries has a disappointing year, but he could very
Speaker 2: easily get back on track and be a really good
Speaker 2: third option in the tenth round. I think that makes
Speaker 2: you feel better about drafting Travis Kelsey that early if
Speaker 2: there is in fact a Travis Kelcey, you know, continue
Speaker 2: continuing to have that age decline.
Speaker 1: So the the Baker Mayfield and Mike Evan stack. Does
Speaker 1: that do anything for you for Adam Honskar.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he, as I said, he kind of he kind
Speaker 2: of saved it here, balk Let me let me mess
Speaker 2: around with us if we can, you know, let me
Speaker 2: let me let me move us to the side here
Speaker 2: real quick. Is that there we go? Look at that?
Speaker 1: Okay, hold on, then then let me mess around with
Speaker 1: it and bring it to there.
Speaker 7: We got.
Speaker 2: Messing around with this. Yeah, no, I again, stacking is tougher,
Speaker 2: but and managed at Oh thank you, Dave, I appreciate that.
Speaker 2: You know, it's always good when the boss is washing right,
Speaker 2: they have some good analysis.
Speaker 1: Stop making me look so bad.
Speaker 2: But no, I I like the Baker and Evans pick,
Speaker 2: and I like obviously Caleb with I'm a big fan
Speaker 2: of Dune. Say again, it's it's not the Evans is
Speaker 2: a guy who continually proves me wrong. I hope because
Speaker 2: I actually am a big fan of his Travis Kelcey
Speaker 2: that he does kind of have a bounce back year.
Speaker 2: I just think it's tough, especially also with that Kansas
Speaker 2: City offense. Kind of the way it's been looking is
Speaker 2: not like the Kansas City offense of old. The Evans
Speaker 2: pick is fine. I'm just much more of an upside
Speaker 2: guy when drafting, so that's more of just personal preference.
Speaker 2: But this is another really good build. I'm just going
Speaker 2: to go back to that start. I don't know how
Speaker 2: many neighbors a chin starts are. A chain is usually
Speaker 2: a guy who goes at that one two turn. To
Speaker 2: see him kind of fall into the fifth was kind
Speaker 2: of probably our first sign that and Puka going at
Speaker 2: the one of his six is probably our first sign
Speaker 2: of like, all right, this draft is going to be
Speaker 2: a little bit crazy. And then it's only escalated from there,
Speaker 2: but that start alone gets a minimum like a B grade,
Speaker 2: and he's only enhanced it with the rest of his picks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm the h Chan thing is weird because, like
Speaker 1: so his his ADP is one twelve according to Mojo
Speaker 1: over the last three days. And I'm looking at some
Speaker 1: of these guys that went after, I'm like, I feel
Speaker 1: like that's where they normally go. I guess h Chan
Speaker 1: normally goes ahead technically McBride, Saint Brown, Thomas Collins, Henry
Speaker 1: So I guess that knocks him down a little bit.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I really liked the A Chan pick here. Hey,
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you something about you're a Giants fan,
Speaker 1: right I remember that correctly?
Speaker 2: Or no? So I don't. I don't have an NFL team.
Speaker 2: I started playing fantasy football when I was like nine,
Speaker 2: and I don't know how I never got into at
Speaker 2: the time the Redskins now the Commanders. I just you know,
Speaker 2: I always kind of casual with them, but I was
Speaker 2: just always so fixated on my fantasy team. It just
Speaker 2: kind of, you know, that's always been what it was.
Speaker 2: So I don't really have a team, which is honestly,
Speaker 2: it makes my Sundays immensely more relaxing that. You know,
Speaker 2: I don't have a NFL team providing me pain, just uh,
Speaker 2: you know, just my fantasy teams. I always say, I
Speaker 2: always I'm always rooting for whoever whoever the Eagles are
Speaker 2: playing against. That that's that's my NFL team.
Speaker 1: Okay, so two weeks a year, your NFL team is
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, which is what I wanted to ask you about.
Speaker 1: We talked about their passing game briefly. I wanted to
Speaker 1: bring up the running game, which I think is far
Speaker 1: more interesting, yea, if far more unspectacular.
Speaker 2: In like a morbid kind of way, in a morbid.
Speaker 1: Kind of way. Yeah, exactly. Jaden Blue tonight goes before
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams. Jaden Blue off the board at the ten
Speaker 1: oh three, Javonte Williams at the ten eleven. Reports are
Speaker 1: that Miles Sanders has been out playing Javonte Williams and
Speaker 1: Jaden Blue is really starting to draw the praise of
Speaker 1: the coaching staff there at what point? I mean, like,
Speaker 1: so right now, if I'm drafting in in re draft leagues,
Speaker 1: I'm taking Blue over Javonte Williams one hundred percent of
Speaker 1: the time, which is what happened tonight? What do you
Speaker 1: make of Jaden Blue? Potentially? And and like, I don't
Speaker 1: toss this term around a lot because people say, oh,
Speaker 1: if you take this guy in round two or round three,
Speaker 1: he's a league winner. That's not really how it works.
Speaker 1: But if you get a guy like Jayden Blue in
Speaker 1: the tenth round and he just goes super nova and
Speaker 1: he's catching all these passes and Javonte Williams is dust
Speaker 1: and Miles Sanders is even dustier, then Jayden Blue could
Speaker 1: be a league winner here this year. Am I getting
Speaker 1: too excited about drafting Jayden Blue in the tenth round
Speaker 1: because I don't think I am. I don't think I'm
Speaker 1: too excited yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Jayden Blue or film Afa for free for me.
Speaker 1: Often that guy does nothing for me, Aiden absolutely nothing
Speaker 1: for free.
Speaker 6: I'm not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't wonder, okay, but what I'm
Speaker 2: just saying, And if I'm taking a Dallas running back,
Speaker 2: it's film AffA in round twenty or it's Jayden Blue, Okay,
Speaker 2: all right. I'm just also say you're a college ball
Speaker 2: fan as well, you have like these memories of these players.
Speaker 2: Film AffA scored four touchdowns against me in a bowl game.
Speaker 2: So like that's just always in my head that film
Speaker 2: MafA just destroyed us.
Speaker 1: I mean it's just like he doesn't athletically do anything
Speaker 1: for me. He's like running with the fours, I think
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I'm just saying I'm taking a chance on
Speaker 2: a I get proven bad NFL players and now bad players.
Speaker 1: To your point, you can get them super late. Uh
Speaker 1: the dizzle saying film MafA equals winner. Like you know,
Speaker 1: I just my own argument for Jade Blue. You can
Speaker 1: apply it to fil MafA too. I think it's more
Speaker 1: likely with with Blue.
Speaker 2: I'm saying Blue is the guy to have. But I'm
Speaker 2: just saying I understand is over those two. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: mean the cop out answer is it's probably gonna end
Speaker 2: up being neither of them. Like, I think it's very possible,
Speaker 2: like of all teams, like the likelihood that the current
Speaker 2: week one starting running back not being on that team
Speaker 2: as of now is the Cowboys, like they trade or
Speaker 2: or you know, trade trade for someone as unlikely as
Speaker 2: that is. But no, I think it's Blue because he
Speaker 2: has that home run upside, and it could just it's
Speaker 2: more of a reflection of Miles Sanders and Javonte Williams
Speaker 2: like like, are like, are we being serious? Like you're
Speaker 2: you're really feeling comfortable, especially like some teams are taking
Speaker 2: you know, Williams or standers as there are RB two
Speaker 2: RB three if they completely punt the position and you
Speaker 2: just feel like you're kind of cooked from there. Obviously
Speaker 2: in this league, Jvonte Williams a is an RB four.
Speaker 2: You could do worse. It just it just he didn't.
Speaker 2: He didn't do it in Denver. He never reached his expectations,
Speaker 2: especially after the injury, and I just the eye test
Speaker 2: alone is enough for me to dismiss him. This isn't
Speaker 2: a great Cowboys O line. It's not the old Cowboys
Speaker 2: O line that we're kind of used to where they
Speaker 2: could just churn out running backs.
Speaker 1: They just readded Lel Collins today.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, and Tyler Guiden is going to be back
Speaker 2: probably for week one. But it's just not the news
Speaker 2: you want to hear. It's just Javonte Williams. Uh. You
Speaker 2: know there there was a moment right last year where
Speaker 2: I was buying to you know, Zeke back in the
Speaker 2: fold in Dallas, and this is this guy who's gonna
Speaker 2: fall into the end zone a lot and maybe be
Speaker 2: you know, kind of like the Lagarrett Blunt of this year,
Speaker 2: the Jamal Williams, the Gus Edwards where he just gets
Speaker 2: a ton of touchdowns, but oh no, he's back in Dallas.
Speaker 2: Maybe you can rEFInd some of that magic and it
Speaker 2: just isn't the case. And now I'm like, yeah, just
Speaker 2: because it's a Dallas running back, which for seemingly the
Speaker 2: last decade has yielded great results, I'm gonna trust my
Speaker 2: eye tests more and just go with Javonte Williams is
Speaker 2: not going to be a Fantasy winner by any means,
Speaker 2: and you're way better off taking Jada Blue.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: As Joe King points out, he's only twenty five and
Speaker 1: he's got all the ingredients right to be a potential
Speaker 1: league winner this year, except for he's only got one
Speaker 1: non surgically repaired need I think is a problem.
Speaker 2: And even before that he never was I know, obviously
Speaker 2: Denver in his time, there was not you know, the
Speaker 2: Sean Payton Broncos, So it's kind of hard to judge him.
Speaker 2: And I guess that is if I'm playing Devil's ad
Speaker 2: kate with myself. Is you know, when you saw him,
Speaker 2: you know, fully healthy. You can't really even analyze that
Speaker 2: because despite his kind of struggles, this wasn't a guy
Speaker 2: ever really playing on a great team. That No, it's
Speaker 2: just both these prices are too high. As crazy as
Speaker 2: that sounds, right in the tenth round, it's even with Blue.
Speaker 2: It's just there's too much uncerting this room. If I
Speaker 2: lose a league a million dollars, yes, I'm gonna be sick,
Speaker 2: but there's just gonna be some ones where I'm comfortable.
Speaker 2: If they beat me, they beat me. And the Dallas
Speaker 2: running back room is just going to be one where
Speaker 2: they beat me, like the Packers. Going back to what
Speaker 2: we talked about, I don't want the Packers receiver room
Speaker 2: to be I think there's someone there who's going to
Speaker 2: merge on a consistent week tweak basis, whether it be
Speaker 2: Matthew Golden or Jayden Reid, who provides an immense value.
Speaker 2: And I'm getting there. If Dallas Jayden Blue, if Davonte
Speaker 2: Williams you know, can deliver on his you know, early
Speaker 2: day to draft pick status that he was a couple
Speaker 2: of years back, let it burn me. I'm just I'm
Speaker 2: not going to really go there.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you too, I think it's too early
Speaker 1: for me to issue at me a culpa on Matthew Golden.
Speaker 1: I was saying this on my radio show the other day,
Speaker 1: But like, dude, all the reports from all the beat
Speaker 1: writers are just are. They're gushing over all the plays
Speaker 1: that he's making in practice too. Then again, they're gushing
Speaker 1: about don Tavie Wicks not never dropping any calls. You
Speaker 1: just never know what's accurate.
Speaker 2: We always go back to me and Turp love doing it,
Speaker 2: like especially right Balky this Leyden draft, just saying some
Speaker 2: of those, like all preseason hype teams, you know, the
Speaker 2: Terrace Marshalls, the Marquez callaways, you know Carson Steele last year.
Speaker 1: Darwin Thompson speaking of Chiefs running backs. That was another
Speaker 1: one too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's there's been so many, and I'm sure it
Speaker 2: would be such a magical ride to go back to
Speaker 2: even like twenty one, twenty two, even just a couple
Speaker 2: of years back and see like he was a top
Speaker 2: ten round pick at some point in the you know,
Speaker 2: million dollar draft, and it's like, yeah, because he just
Speaker 2: got a couple of preseasons a mere Abdullah back in
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen, you know, or twenty fifteen with the Lions.
Speaker 2: I could only imagine David Montgomery's become a really good
Speaker 2: NFL player. But David Montgomery his rookie year, I'll all
Speaker 2: like his training camp clips were everywhere, and he like
Speaker 2: found himself in the third round, fourth round of drafts,
Speaker 2: and he didn't really emerge until way later in the year,
Speaker 2: if anything, second third year of his career in Chicago
Speaker 2: then really burst out with the Lions. So there's just
Speaker 2: so many names littered throughout history of guys who get
Speaker 2: hype in the preseason, they rise at these draft boards
Speaker 2: and then deliver absolutely nothing. I want to go back.
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about the Texans running
Speaker 1: game here in a second, but I want to go
Speaker 1: back to team three. We have not talked about Matthew
Speaker 1: Books team a whole lot tonight.
Speaker 2: Look at what he's doing here.
Speaker 7: Aiden.
Speaker 1: So in his first six picks he goes with five
Speaker 1: wide receivers. But then after that, my goodness, I have
Speaker 1: not seen that much green since I was swimming in
Speaker 1: Scrooge McDuck's money. Ben, this is a ton of running
Speaker 1: backs here, Connor Pachecko, Judkins, Benson White, Johnson, Mitchell Korum,
Speaker 1: Jordan James. What do you make of this strategy here
Speaker 1: peppering only in Dalton Kincaid and Mason Taylor at tight
Speaker 1: end and Kyler Murray at quarterback. Feel this feels a
Speaker 1: little overkill on the running backs here.
Speaker 2: To me, overkill a bit. And what's weird is for
Speaker 2: you know, going five receivers in your first six rounds.
Speaker 2: I can't say I love the receiver room. I'm good
Speaker 2: with CD as a top three pick. I think that's
Speaker 2: hardly valid.
Speaker 1: AJ Brown was at cost. Yeah, we already talked about it.
Speaker 1: I think Paul Tiiccherro was saying that Marvin Harrison, and.
Speaker 2: I'm a fan of Harrison, but it's just like I'm saying,
Speaker 2: if you're going to rock with this strategy, I need
Speaker 2: to feel so confident in my five receivers of carrying.
Speaker 2: And I just don't know. Wattle, McMillan, Harrison and A J.
Speaker 2: Brown to a degree as well, all have this kind
Speaker 2: of uncertain I mean we saw last year A J.
Speaker 7: Brown.
Speaker 2: There's a lot banking on the Eagles passing the ball
Speaker 2: a little more by product to maybe them being in
Speaker 2: some some tighter games, and.
Speaker 1: You know, schedule and just like they ran the ball
Speaker 1: at an historic level last year that continue.
Speaker 2: Yeah it's not, but like they are also just such
Speaker 2: a strange team. And again this goes back to it,
Speaker 2: I'm always rooting against them by product of going to
Speaker 2: UH College in Philadelphia and just surrounded by Eagles fans
Speaker 2: non stop. So I just it wasn't before for that,
Speaker 2: just an animosity for Philly, and they rib me about it,
Speaker 2: and you know, perhaps to them they are. They are
Speaker 2: super Bowl champions, but they're just a very weird team
Speaker 2: because that offense doesn't flow through the same guys a
Speaker 2: week to week.
Speaker 7: So a J.
Speaker 2: Brown again at costs I'm fine with, but there is
Speaker 2: just a little uncertainty there. But it does feel a
Speaker 2: bit overco But I will say this, Balky Judkins, Benson White,
Speaker 2: Roshan Mitchell, Korham, Jordan James, I really don't hate any
Speaker 2: of those guys, especially where they were going. You know,
Speaker 2: Jenkins has kind of become an ultimate wildcard now. I
Speaker 2: was a huge Dylan Sampson fan again going back to
Speaker 2: watching him at college, just because I watched so much
Speaker 2: SEC ball. He was a monster at Tennessee and I
Speaker 2: liked him before the Judkins news. But you know Jenkins,
Speaker 2: if he does sign and the court cases resolved and
Speaker 2: nothing comes of it, that is a guy who was
Speaker 2: there thirty fifth overall pick, and you're getting him down
Speaker 2: the tenth round. One before that was the fifth, sixth
Speaker 2: round Trey Benson. Obviously the chat was talking about him.
Speaker 2: I think, Balky you even mentioned that you're getting Benson
Speaker 2: and sprinkling in James Connor at cost. Yeah, Rashan White
Speaker 2: don't love Roshan Johnson, don't love. But again we kind
Speaker 2: of talked about the uncertainty with DeAndre Swift and Roshan Johnson.
Speaker 2: The opportunity is there. Love, Keaton Mitchell we talked about again.
Speaker 2: I'm a Jarquist Hunter guy, but you know, very well
Speaker 2: could be Blake rm who knows that RB two room
Speaker 2: is interesting with what I said earlier about Krien Williams,
Speaker 2: and I'm always a believer in taking your late round
Speaker 2: Darthurs on late round, Kyle Shanahan running backs, as we've
Speaker 2: seen that story before. So I really like the Jordan
Speaker 2: James does feel like overkill, but I don't. I don't
Speaker 2: hate the running backs he's taken. You know, he has
Speaker 2: Benson and Connor there, so he has the Cardinals running
Speaker 2: back one when Connor gets hurt. I just I would
Speaker 2: have liked I wish I liked the receivers a little
Speaker 2: more to kind of fully endorse the strategy.
Speaker 1: I would have liked just when I talk about overkill,
Speaker 1: I would have skipped one of these running backs in
Speaker 1: favor like kin Kid and Mason Taylor.
Speaker 2: To me, that's very low floor.
Speaker 1: I think Kinkaid bounces back this year, and I know
Speaker 1: Mason Taylor's had a strong camp, but Kincaid has had
Speaker 1: two lackluster seasons. Mason Taylor is a rookie on a
Speaker 1: team that probably's not going to pass the ball a
Speaker 1: whole lot. I would have liked to see, like, you know,
Speaker 1: adding a Brenton Strange on this team, or even Zach Ertz.
Speaker 1: You know Ertz, who I think is is everybody hates
Speaker 1: him because he's super old, but that guy's just he
Speaker 1: puts up numbers every year, and I.
Speaker 2: Think he's going to do it again this year. I
Speaker 2: just even even if you're banking on you know, you're
Speaker 2: clearly banking something on the Panthers offensive strides that they
Speaker 2: showed at the end of the last year. To continue
Speaker 2: could have taken to Tavian Sanders and around sixteen, uh
Speaker 2: you know, and then although do you take Terrence Ferguson here?
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm becoming more of a Tyler Higbee guy,
Speaker 1: but I recognize.
Speaker 2: The upside that's disgusting.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, you're talking about a tight end
Speaker 1: that I think he is probably their starter in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six. Higbee had the injury. He's coming off the injury,
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, and was a little bit not all
Speaker 1: not all the way.
Speaker 2: Back, Ferguson was a first round pick like it would
Speaker 2: have been if the Falcons weren't completely idiots. I'm just no, no, no, no, no, no, no no,
Speaker 2: where would he have gone. I'm just saying, like, because
Speaker 2: that does oh well.
Speaker 1: Just draft capital effects. Terrence Ferguson was not a first
Speaker 1: round pick.
Speaker 2: No, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying like they
Speaker 2: valued him, they were going to take him in the
Speaker 2: first round.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Like they wanted brock Bowers last year. You could be right.
Speaker 1: I just feel like, like has Higby gone yet? I
Speaker 1: think Higby's cheaper.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just saying now, like I agree, like Darren Waller,
Speaker 2: for example, going ahead Noah Gray, going ahead of Tyler
Speaker 2: Higby is a little bit silly. I know there's been
Speaker 2: serting eteft, but eighteen ten, you're getting a guy who
Speaker 2: the Rams had been looking for a tight end for
Speaker 2: the last two years, aiming to do it in the
Speaker 2: first round. Would have taken Terrence Ferguson in the first
Speaker 2: round if it wasn't for the Falcons giving them the
Speaker 2: mother load for James Parris Junior, which was astounding. I
Speaker 2: think this is one of the best values in this
Speaker 2: draft and in all big gorilla drafts. You're gonna this
Speaker 2: guy for free wealkey, if you're correct, just cut him.
Speaker 2: But I think he perbably makes up for that uncertainty there.
Speaker 2: I think one of these two rookie tight ends is
Speaker 2: a hit in Mason Taylor Terrence Ferguson.
Speaker 1: To me, it's just adding more uncertainty, uh with with
Speaker 1: with Ferguson, whereas Higbe is more of a known quantity,
Speaker 1: which I think that would make more sense with a
Speaker 1: Mason Taylor Dalton k K's team.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 1: Ferguson, he is going to be a free agent after
Speaker 1: this season. This this is his last year and I
Speaker 1: think it's it's the terrence was a Mark.
Speaker 2: Cooper just drafted when he retired. That's insane. I didn't
Speaker 2: know a Mark Cooper retired. Mark Cooper retired today and
Speaker 2: he just got drafted. I didn't even know that Amari
Speaker 2: Cooper retired. Son of a guy. Talk about that all
Speaker 2: a sudden. James Cook and Hunter Henry are come on,
Speaker 2: come on, guys, I know it's okay. I didn't know that.
Speaker 1: Uh uh no. Granted, and a busy day to day,
Speaker 1: but I did not know Marik Cooper hung it up today.
Speaker 2: That's why did I Maybe I got prank, but I
Speaker 2: got I believe right now. And Ari maov, oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was. It's fake fake, Uh god, yeah.
Speaker 2: I got it. Looks like it looks like Dave is
Speaker 2: going to come in here and be like, oh instant,
Speaker 2: it was Adam Shelfer.
Speaker 1: That's rough. That's all.
Speaker 2: Some of my analysis has gone from an eleven to
Speaker 2: a one because of that. Before I apologize.
Speaker 1: That's good man, that's good, that's good.
Speaker 2: I I fully believe that because it makes sense that
Speaker 2: he would retire after how poor he was last year.
Speaker 2: Oh man, I.
Speaker 6: Love it too.
Speaker 2: The The X like as the bio clearly shows this
Speaker 2: is not a real Adam schefter accounted. Either I just
Speaker 2: ignored that or that wasn't there when I was scrolling through.
Speaker 1: That's okay, we've all been gotten. Uh, we've all got
Speaker 1: got before.
Speaker 2: I want to bring it back the nineteenth round.
Speaker 1: Then early on, I do want to bring this back
Speaker 1: to Higbee, just real quick. Not that I'm advocating for
Speaker 1: everybody to take him, but this guy. His last three
Speaker 1: games last year, so he didn't play until December if
Speaker 1: you remember, but his last three games five for forty
Speaker 1: six in a touchdown, five for fifty eight, and then
Speaker 1: seven for fifty four in a touchdown. Now I understand
Speaker 1: Davante Adams is probably going to be a significant improvement
Speaker 1: over Cooper Cup. But at the same time, Higbe is
Speaker 1: still going to factor in. I am still team Higbee
Speaker 1: this season for twenty twenty five based on his usage
Speaker 1: in his brief time last year. After that, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: you know, anchors away for Terrence Ferguson in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: Moving on to.
Speaker 1: Something I wanted to talk about like twenty minutes ago,
Speaker 1: but we keep getting bogged down with other analysis. What
Speaker 1: do you make of the Houston running back room. Right now,
Speaker 1: we talked briefly about Joe Mixon with our buddy Egor
Speaker 1: grob uncle who ended up drafting him. In the eighth round,
Speaker 1: we see Nick Chubb go to Brady Stewart tonight at
Speaker 1: the was at the twelve thirteen turn? Am I looking
Speaker 1: at that now? Thirteen fourteen turn?
Speaker 6: Excuse me?
Speaker 1: That's where we see Nick Chubb go and then Woody
Speaker 1: Marks Jaquavius Woody Marx goes to Frank im Bornoni in
Speaker 1: the fifteenth round? Aiden, what do you think and what
Speaker 1: have you seen? How FFPC players are handling this situation,
Speaker 1: which again is very fluid right now because the Texans
Speaker 1: have been very cagey about Joe Mixon all off season.
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb to me is a guy that I can't
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't really see the upside there. I
Speaker 1: see only downside. And then Woody Marks like I like,
Speaker 1: I like him in best ball, but he might just
Speaker 1: be a pass catcher. So I don't know how how
Speaker 1: should people be?
Speaker 2: Had I was with you on Chubb, I love not
Speaker 2: being like a paid like industry like expert analysis because
Speaker 2: then I can watch your I think it was on
Speaker 2: prosby Joe's Or was it on Insiderracus where Jim Entry
Speaker 2: from Brodowire was just hyping up Nick Chubb and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, like maybe I can get behind
Speaker 2: Nick Chubb and he's you know, he's he's mentioned the
Speaker 2: same as he used to be and you know, deadlifting,
Speaker 2: and it's like hell yeah, like Nick Chubb is back.
Speaker 2: I think my answer is still Joe Mixon, especially at
Speaker 2: this depressed cost, even if he misses some time he
Speaker 2: goes here in the eighth round, you're seeing him kind
Speaker 2: of in this eighth ninth round. I think Moji even
Speaker 2: posted there was one time he fell into the tenth. Yes,
Speaker 2: the efficiency dropped it. Next year, I think the Texans
Speaker 2: offense does bounce back, and some of that is factoring
Speaker 2: in a healthy mix in you as have to remember,
Speaker 2: I believe Mixon did suffer high ankle sprain last year,
Speaker 2: which I think is always contributing. Now it's super concerning.
Speaker 2: Right then I can sit here and say like, well,
Speaker 2: he's clearly still dealing with some foot injury. Mixing for
Speaker 2: now is my answer. The more closer we draw to
Speaker 2: the season starting, and if we have no clarity, it
Speaker 2: might pivot, but for now, Joe Mixon around eight to nine,
Speaker 2: he could be looking back and you're getting a real
Speaker 2: value of from a guy who you know it could produce,
Speaker 2: you know, that round four or five value that he
Speaker 2: was originally being drafted as.
Speaker 1: I've knocked Mixing and Judkins down in a completely arbitrary
Speaker 1: round to round ten just because it's double digits, like,
Speaker 1: that's why I'm gonna start looking at these guys. And
Speaker 1: the more like that Mixing keeps getting scooped up in
Speaker 1: the eighth and ninth round, the more I'm like, God,
Speaker 1: i think I'm missing out. I think I really should
Speaker 1: have gone after him harder. Mixing, by the way, one
Speaker 1: of the most one of the best fantasy running backs
Speaker 1: last season, like top five or top like.
Speaker 2: He was awesome.
Speaker 1: He paid off on his ADP. The thing is this year,
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think the drafting of what he marks
Speaker 1: and the signing of Nick Chubb is great one for
Speaker 1: his usage and two for what it says about his
Speaker 1: injury recovery. And then three, Laramie Tunsel is a commander
Speaker 1: like this offensive lining and it wasn't good last year,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't Goo last year and it got significantly worse.
Speaker 1: And Mixing, to me is a guy like, yeah, you
Speaker 1: can only get the ball in space to him so
Speaker 1: much like you do need an offensive line. So as
Speaker 1: much as I'd like to say, hey, yeah, Mixing is
Speaker 1: a great buy here, you know, four rounds pass where
Speaker 1: he normally was going a month or so ago, I
Speaker 1: still got to realize that, you know, this could be
Speaker 1: you know, with all these factors combined, just still a
Speaker 1: bad pick in the eighth round or ninth round. Now
Speaker 1: for a guy like Igor who drafted him as his
Speaker 1: number four running back, if mix And misses, he's not
Speaker 1: going to feel that pain as much because he's got Gibs,
Speaker 1: He's got Irving, he's got Kyron Williams. He hit wide
Speaker 1: receiver after that. He hit Camp Scataboo right after that
Speaker 1: as well. So I think like your team build kind
Speaker 1: of depends upon whether you should be taking Joe Mixon
Speaker 1: at his new cost as well.
Speaker 2: And it's going to be really fascinating to monitor. Let's
Speaker 2: say there's no news updates in this uncertain he continues
Speaker 2: and he keeps dropping in this contest, right, there's gonna
Speaker 2: be guys who you know, we're taking Joe Mixon in
Speaker 2: round four, and then you buy, you know, buying the
Speaker 2: dip right round eight, and the guys who are really
Speaker 2: buying the dip when it's now round twelve, thirteen, and
Speaker 2: then if he plays later in the season, and some
Speaker 2: of these teams could be you know, in a really
Speaker 2: strong spot if they're getting even like moderately healthy, you know,
Speaker 2: usage rate Joe Mixon as like, you know, their fifth
Speaker 2: sixth running back because they you know, come to the
Speaker 2: last weeks of August, first weeks to September. So it's
Speaker 2: one of the most fascinating situations to monitor, Like the
Speaker 2: likely one, for example, another big injury feels pretty cut
Speaker 2: in dry, like he may miss a couple of weeks,
Speaker 2: but he'll be back by you would expect week three
Speaker 2: four if everything's going right Nixon, Like, there is some
Speaker 2: serious question because no one seems to has any idea
Speaker 2: what's going on there because of the lack of transparency.
Speaker 1: What what injuries more concerning for you right now? Joe
Speaker 1: Mixon's or Chris godwins.
Speaker 2: Probably godwins, godwins, godwins leg borderline fell off. There's no shot.
Speaker 2: I was it was insanity that he was getting drafted
Speaker 2: in like the fourth fifth round at times. This what
Speaker 2: the seventh eighth round that he's been going now is
Speaker 2: still insane to me. There's a zero percent chance he returns.
Speaker 1: I don't think it was saying in the fourth and
Speaker 1: fifth early in the draft season. Number one, because I
Speaker 1: did that in a couple of drafts. Number two, I apologize,
Speaker 1: that's okay, that's okay. But but aiden the Buccaneers after
Speaker 1: this injury gave him a ton of cash. I mean, like,
Speaker 1: who knows the buccaneer or who knows Chris Godwin better
Speaker 1: than the Buccaneers They paid him. Apparently the Patriots were
Speaker 1: also willing to pay this guy. So to me, like
Speaker 1: early on in the season, I'm like, Okay, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be recovered, it's gonna be fine. And then he's not practicing,
Speaker 1: and then they don't know, and then they invest in
Speaker 1: and and so. Just to complete this thought, So, so
Speaker 1: the reason I'm agreeing with you, it's Godwin, Like who's
Speaker 1: behind Joe Mixon, it's Nick Chubb and Woody Marks. Who's
Speaker 1: behind Chris Godwin first round draft pick in mecchag Buka
Speaker 1: That that's a big deal in fantasy when it comes
Speaker 1: to you know which one you're treating more seriously.
Speaker 2: The Godwin thing is pearly injury based. You know, he's
Speaker 2: a great human being by all reports. It almost seems
Speaker 2: to me as the Bucks did right. And some of
Speaker 2: these things are you know, they're not. It's not a
Speaker 2: one year contract. You know, he should be back too
Speaker 2: close to hopefully full health come twenty twenty six and
Speaker 2: then we can talk. But just recovery for you know,
Speaker 2: multi ligament tears. I believe he also had ankle reconstruction.
Speaker 2: There was something there. I don't know exactly if it
Speaker 2: was tight roper or not, but it was something along
Speaker 2: those lines.
Speaker 1: I thought I heard that he is he has screws
Speaker 1: in his knee and his foot.
Speaker 2: Oh, like, I mean, it's just a mess. I just
Speaker 2: not only would I think it would just I think
Speaker 2: you're gonna look at Godwin as a guy where it's
Speaker 2: like he's like, yeah, I didn't like come next season,
Speaker 2: it's like, yeah, I started really feeling myself like week fourteen,
Speaker 2: you know, fifteen, and then you're kind of like, oh,
Speaker 2: that's when his efficiency picked up a bit. He kind
Speaker 2: of got more in the rhythm. But you know when
Speaker 2: you're investing a top eight round pick on this guy
Speaker 2: who I don't think he's even going to be close
Speaker 2: to one hundred percent health until maybe maybe later in
Speaker 2: the season, if not next year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's it's tough and it stinks. I'm with
Speaker 1: Dizzel on this that he's a he's a good guy.
Speaker 1: I mean, I saw him on was it was it
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks? I feel like I was watching Were the
Speaker 1: Buccaneers on Hard Knocks a couple of years ago? Like
Speaker 1: god when Godwin was a rookie, Well, this would have
Speaker 1: been more than a couple years ago. Then maybe like
Speaker 1: five or six years ago or four years ago or whatever,
Speaker 1: it was a couple of years that's.
Speaker 2: Like twenty eighteen. Yeah, feels about right.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the Buccaneers were on, right.
Speaker 2: Weren't they? You're asking the wrong guy. I don't. I
Speaker 2: cannot the only way one knock season, I really remember.
Speaker 1: When does Hard Knock start? Or has it already? I
Speaker 1: feel like I'm missing He.
Speaker 2: Starts usually the first like weekend in August, so not
Speaker 2: this week and maybe next weekend? All right?
Speaker 1: So yes, twenty seventeen. According to Google AI, the Buccaneers
Speaker 1: were featured on Hard Knocks. Jamis Winston was on that team.
Speaker 1: Gerald McCoy who's gone on to the to the NFL
Speaker 1: analyst industry. Deshaun Jackson was on that team. And then
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin that was his rookie year. Who is the coach?
Speaker 6: Then?
Speaker 7: Was that Gruden?
Speaker 1: Was he the coach or the buck that game? I
Speaker 1: can't remember, But anyway, we're boring everybody. There's no reason
Speaker 1: to stay tuned. The draft is finished, and for all
