Speaker 6: get out the bourbon and mix it with a little
Speaker 6: ginger all but not until we see great voices from
Speaker 6: this group. And you know, right there Kerps in the
Speaker 6: middle and another favorite of ours. Darren Armani's sitting up
Speaker 6: there in the middle.
Speaker 1: He is drafting at the six spot tonight. He's on
Speaker 1: the clock right now. We'll talk about his first round pick,
Speaker 1: but I want to take everybody through the first round
Speaker 1: for what we have tonight. For the final PVG of
Speaker 1: the season, John Rozack, the FFPC Joe, said, Jamar Chase
Speaker 1: be damned, I'm taking Jon Robinson at the one O one.
Speaker 1: New Robinson there. Theo Greminger takes Jamar Chase at the
Speaker 1: one O two. Justin Jefferson goes to Nate Modissett and
Speaker 1: Stephen Perry at the one O three. Brock Bauers goes
Speaker 1: to four for four's John Paulson at the one O four.
Speaker 1: Right after that, Nick Thompson, the FFPC Joe, takes Saquon Barkley.
Speaker 1: Darren Armani, the godfather of the FFPC Pros Versus Joe's
Speaker 1: Challenge and the webmaster for fantasymojo dot Com at Fantasy
Speaker 1: Mojo on the X, I always say it, if you
Speaker 1: play in the FFPC, make sure you get a subscription
Speaker 1: to Darren Armani's Fantasy Mojo website worth its weight in gold.
Speaker 1: Not only in the preseason, but during the season as well.
Speaker 1: Darren Armani is drafting six to night. He grabs Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 1: Jamiir Gibbs falls all the way to one oh seven
Speaker 1: tonight to Scott Schoenwolf the FFPC, Joe Michael Nazareth grabs
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb at the one aweight, followed by Eric Young
Speaker 1: taking Moleik Neighbors at the one oh nine, Trey McBride
Speaker 1: off the board to Doug or from FF Today, and
Speaker 1: Fantasy Points at the one ten. Ashton Genty and Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry round things up. Genty uh to the mad Genius
Speaker 1: of football. Uh for Todd Aaron, a guy we had
Speaker 1: on the program here about three weeks or so ago,
Speaker 1: two weeks maybe it was. And then Derek Henry to
Speaker 1: Jim Coventry from Rode Wire, excellent choice there. I know
Speaker 1: you love it, Ferrell. Derrick Henry as a tribute to you,
Speaker 1: makes it into the first round tonight.
Speaker 5: No way, that's that's fantastic. I love that.
Speaker 6: And you know the uh, Todd Aaron. Tod's playing a
Speaker 6: little Kentucky football this year, little KFMSC. It seems like
Speaker 6: everybody wishes they were playing the KFC or enjoys the
Speaker 6: fact that they have planned or maybe going to talk
Speaker 6: about it next year. Everybody, but.
Speaker 4: For that when you started, I knew where you were
Speaker 4: going with that, everybody.
Speaker 1: But seven minutes into the show and we already have it, ladies,
Speaker 1: and jethought I was gonna take that long the the
Speaker 1: hard sell that yet turp down to Louisville, which is
Speaker 1: everybody turp. What do you make of Bejon Robinson at
Speaker 1: the one on one? I guess I can get behind it.
Speaker 1: I've done it myself in a Kentucky league already this year.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: There there's a lot of people that that feel the
Speaker 1: need to take Chase and that's cool. But I'm all
Speaker 1: for Bjeon Robinson or be Jeon Robinson, I should say,
Speaker 1: certainly a guy that that could easily pay this off.
Speaker 1: But I am surprised to see it tonight from John rosek.
Speaker 4: Anytime last year I had the chance at it that
Speaker 4: number one pick, I took Bjon Robinson every single time.
Speaker 4: I would do the same this year. I'm not sitting
Speaker 4: here saying it's it's like a clear cut, but you know,
Speaker 4: between him and Jamar Chase I think they're slightly above
Speaker 4: everybody else. So I'm going with either of them going
Speaker 4: and the number one pick. Bijon just he's just a
Speaker 4: freak man. And you saw that that video that came
Speaker 4: out the other day of him running through you know,
Speaker 4: the drills. He looks like a gazelle out there. It's
Speaker 4: just he's a he's a freak of nature. And I
Speaker 4: feel like with Pennis, it's gonna even unlock him even
Speaker 4: more to you know, get you know, I think Algier,
Speaker 4: you know, the worry of Algier last year kind of
Speaker 4: got you know, thrown away. Rappins is the best running
Speaker 4: back in football, you know, obviously with sa Von Barkley,
Speaker 4: Gibbs and Christian McCaffrey. If he's healthy, we can talk about.
Speaker 4: But I just think Robinson is a clear cut, you
Speaker 4: know one for me, and you know, I'm a fan
Speaker 4: of it.
Speaker 6: Term current images would suggest that in week one you
Speaker 6: pulled all your hair out when uh, when Bijon Robinson
Speaker 6: led the Falcons into every ounce of hair and they
Speaker 6: turn and all you see coming in is Algier.
Speaker 4: I remember that game very I remember exactly where I was,
Speaker 4: and I remember watching that they I think they clicked
Speaker 4: like five field goals in that game. It was a
Speaker 4: code game or two or whatever whatever his last name is.
Speaker 4: Answer Kirk Cousins looked awful. Yeah, I remember that game
Speaker 4: really really well.
Speaker 5: Alji got multiple carries inside the five yard line.
Speaker 4: It drove me nuts. I remember I was at a
Speaker 4: bar for a birthday party watching the game. Just I
Speaker 4: was not a happy camper. But things turned around real
Speaker 4: quick and they finally got their brains back. I thought
Speaker 4: Arthur Smith was still there.
Speaker 6: The great thing about you is when you're not happy,
Speaker 6: no one can really tell.
Speaker 5: The difference the same way every time. You know so,
Speaker 5: and you know that's that that's a poker face.
Speaker 4: But that's how we do it.
Speaker 1: So, so, guys, what I want to do here, terp
Speaker 1: is is post the fil greminger for Fantasy Points who's
Speaker 1: drafting from the one spot or two spots? And I
Speaker 1: excuse me? Is that the pro that is drafting first?
Speaker 1: But he is in the two spot? He said, turp
Speaker 1: all over my start. I don't know if he means
Speaker 1: specifically be John Robinson. But what do you make about
Speaker 1: the second round and the third round?
Speaker 7: Here?
Speaker 1: Kill and T Higgins back to back to go with Robinson.
Speaker 4: So me and THEO had a little conversation before the
Speaker 4: show started. You know, how was because he was picking two,
Speaker 4: you know, what he thought he'd be looking at, you know,
Speaker 4: based off the other drafts have been going so far,
Speaker 4: and he was thinking about Rock Barres or a couple
Speaker 4: other guys that you know, Bijon. Obviously, if Jamar Chase
Speaker 4: went one, I love his start. You know, THEO is
Speaker 4: my guy, so you know, I'll still be critical of him.
Speaker 4: But my guess is he would have took aj Brown
Speaker 4: if he fell. But I think Lad McConkie's a solid
Speaker 4: consolation prize and everybody knows my opinions on Chase Brown.
Speaker 4: I'll take Chase Brown in every single draft I get
Speaker 4: a chance to take Chase Brown. He was my guy
Speaker 4: last year, you know, and I'll just continue to draft him.
Speaker 4: On that offense, you can get as much as possible.
Speaker 4: I mean that ral Tree should be real, real, real small.
Speaker 4: So it's to me Chase Brown. You know, I'm probably Higgins,
Speaker 4: not as high on Higgins as most, but you still
Speaker 4: got to mix him in because you saw at the
Speaker 4: end of the season, you know, that opportunity that he
Speaker 4: put out there, don't want people a lot of money,
Speaker 4: But I love Theo's start so far.
Speaker 5: Very what's a great start.
Speaker 6: We talked about uh term when we missed you last night,
Speaker 6: we talked about McConkie. At least I thought McConkie should
Speaker 6: have gone sooner. Where he went last night, and I
Speaker 6: think it was he's.
Speaker 4: Been all over, he's been all I've seen him sing
Speaker 4: him go away as high as five two three in
Speaker 4: some drafts. So this third round, I feel like it's
Speaker 4: gonna as we get closer into drafting season for most
Speaker 4: of the people who you know aren't going it ticks
Speaker 4: like all of us. I think this second round is
Speaker 4: gonna be all over the place. I mean, you see
Speaker 4: Josh Jacobs getting pushed up. You see you know Nico
Speaker 4: Collins you know down a little bit more, Brian Thomas down,
Speaker 4: Drake London down, Kittle moving up, a J. Brown continuing
Speaker 4: to fall, McConkie all over the place, you know, Tyreek
Speaker 4: moving up, like you're gonna see these these these it's
Speaker 4: a little more you know, funky this year when it
Speaker 4: comes with picks. I mean, guys are all over the place,
Speaker 4: which is good, which is fun because it's not just
Speaker 4: like you know, some of the years, you see it's
Speaker 4: just like all right, the first round is done, second
Speaker 4: round is the same. You know, maybe a pick or
Speaker 4: two off, but everything's like pretty much an adp or
Speaker 4: in whatever. People like the draft. But this year I
Speaker 4: feel it's gonna be a little bit different because.
Speaker 5: It'll be a little different, buddy. That's why you should
Speaker 5: Jonathan Taylor.
Speaker 4: I mean, Anthony Richard gets some positive press and Jonathan
Speaker 4: Taylor gets moved to the third round in the middle
Speaker 4: of the third round, not even early. It could be,
Speaker 4: it could be, it could be, it could be, but
Speaker 4: people are gonna start worrying about Anthony Richard if that,
Speaker 4: if the press continues to be positive. That's what the
Speaker 4: preseason is there for, the hype up guys and bring
Speaker 4: guys down.
Speaker 5: So now you gotta you gotta look you gotta look
Speaker 5: away from that.
Speaker 4: It's hard sometimes because it's all it's right there in
Speaker 4: your face. You know, Twitter, you know, the news whatever,
Speaker 4: whatever you follow. Some of these big time websites are
Speaker 4: out there, you know, pumping information and you see guys
Speaker 4: that where's Roma Doonzay gonna want to go in the
Speaker 4: draft tonight? I mean, he's a guy that you haven't
Speaker 4: heard a thing about in the preseason, but you hear
Speaker 4: one little piece and now he's gonna start skyrocking up
Speaker 4: draft boards. So it's hard to see what's real and
Speaker 4: what's not.
Speaker 6: You know what's real is listening to Baalky and you
Speaker 6: said something about maniacs. I just got a text from
Speaker 6: a maniac fitting out in California.
Speaker 5: He tells me that.
Speaker 6: You are on the clock in the k but it's
Speaker 6: a slow draft bunk.
Speaker 1: You need hold on, hold on, not anymore because I
Speaker 1: I just.
Speaker 4: I can do it.
Speaker 1: It was let's see what pick was it? It was
Speaker 1: in the it was in the sixth round. I want
Speaker 1: to say. I think I'll let me think about this.
Speaker 1: One two three four five, Yeah, I think it was
Speaker 1: my sixth round pick six four, six oh five. I
Speaker 1: took Travis Hunter as as my number three receiver there,
Speaker 1: so we'll see what happens with it. I believe that's correct.
Speaker 1: Let me just let me just verify here. Six oh four, yeah,
Speaker 1: six oh four, Travis Hunter. So there you go. Congre Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you so much. Now, I Turp, I want to
Speaker 1: thank you for saving me. I I led you in
Speaker 1: with rose X team at the one Obviously, all the
Speaker 1: smart people who are watching this saw that theod gremager
Speaker 1: was drafting the two spot with Chase McConkey and uh
Speaker 1: and then Chase Brown, so he gets the two Bengals,
Speaker 1: Chase the two chases on the Bengals as well. Scott
Speaker 1: Hoyt is in the chat, former pros versus jokes, longtime
Speaker 1: FFPC player. He says he likes the start that Eric
Speaker 1: Young is off to in slot nine, as well as
Speaker 1: Michael Nazarek from ff Mastermind at eight. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: the nine spot here first farall neighbors Nicua Smith and
Speaker 1: Jigg a little bit of value on Nikua tonight and
Speaker 1: then against Jaden Daniels in the fourth round as the
Speaker 1: quarterback three at the four h four. So certainly off
Speaker 1: to a very potent start here. Obviously he knows he
Speaker 1: needs to do some work with right at running backs
Speaker 1: and tight ends, but we're only twenty five percent of
Speaker 1: the way in and this is a strong start from
Speaker 1: the FFPC. Joe, Eric Young, Pharaoh.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I agree with you, Balky, and it is
Speaker 6: also mister Hoyt notices it, and you know it is
Speaker 6: the sexy start. These are exciting players at every position
Speaker 6: with the unlimited selings. You know, you would think maybe
Speaker 6: they hit it last year, and perhaps they are teams
Speaker 6: with Smith and Gigma and neighbors. Perhaps they're going to
Speaker 6: play a little better this year. And we all love
Speaker 6: what's going on with Washington, so why not. He's off
Speaker 6: to a great are. It'll have to see the real
Speaker 6: artistry of his draft will come with what running backs
Speaker 6: and tied ends he can find and put together with them.
Speaker 1: Turp Nazarek. Mike Nazarek will be on the High Stakes
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Hour. I assume I haven't talked to him
Speaker 1: about this, but he usually comes in the second week
Speaker 1: of August, so hopefully we'll get him on. Then a
Speaker 1: couple of target hogs and Lamb and Collins to kick
Speaker 1: things off, and then a couple of heavy usage three
Speaker 1: down guys and Kyen Williams and James Connor. It's all
Speaker 1: about volume for these first four picks. For Mike Nazarek
Speaker 1: at the eighth spot.
Speaker 4: No negative things to say. I mean, James Connor starting
Speaker 4: to move up draft boards a little bit with you know,
Speaker 4: obviously some good quality coach speak came out recently, so
Speaker 4: that's that's not a pick that you know I would
Speaker 4: make that early. I think it's you know, probably around
Speaker 4: too high. But you know, Kyen Williams, it's hard to
Speaker 4: even people who've always hated on like myself, It's hard
Speaker 4: not to see what's right in front of your face.
Speaker 4: I mean, what are his drawbacks. Sean McVay loves the guy.
Speaker 4: You might hate the guy. I might hate the guy. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but Sean McVay loves the guy. He will give him
Speaker 4: every carry possible until his legs fall off.
Speaker 6: So well, lifetime carries is Karen Williams.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we can look at that.
Speaker 5: Lifetime carries is not a lot.
Speaker 1: So if we are looking at his career carries three
Speaker 1: years in the NFL, he has a total of five
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy nine, that's carries a lot.
Speaker 6: No catches five seventy nine. He took five seventy nine
Speaker 6: carries turp for you to come over to be on
Speaker 6: this guy's.
Speaker 4: I didn't say I'm on the side. I just said
Speaker 4: that what.
Speaker 5: Did you say? I heard what you said. You said
Speaker 5: you had no nothing negative to.
Speaker 4: Say that, nothing negative to say. But I did not
Speaker 4: say I was on his side. I just say I'm neutral,
Speaker 4: neutral guys. I won't be drafting much Kien Williams, but
Speaker 4: I'll have some very low.
Speaker 1: Some fun stuff going on. Or at the left side
Speaker 1: of the board here right now, John Roseack at the
Speaker 1: number one spot, number one, he prevented and I don't
Speaker 1: know if THEO was going to take t Higgins there,
Speaker 1: but he gets Chase Brown instead, so he's still does
Speaker 1: have a couple of Bengals in the first three rounds.
Speaker 1: But then since then, after starting Robinson, Hill and Higgins,
Speaker 1: Roseck has gone back to back tight ends with Laporta
Speaker 1: and Hockinson. A very interesting strategy here from Roseack from
Speaker 1: the one spot Turp. I like to do fun stuff,
Speaker 1: but I usually like to do it in the middle
Speaker 1: when I can, you know, rebound from it. When you
Speaker 1: do it on the end with back to back tight ends,
Speaker 1: maybe that'll work out. Maybe that'll push the tight ends
Speaker 1: up and Roseck gets the value at running back a receiver,
Speaker 1: maybe even quarterback falling back to him. I always get
Speaker 1: nervous about, you know, doing cute stuff like that tight
Speaker 1: end tight end back to back early in the draft
Speaker 1: when I'm sitting at either one of the ends.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean ends are really tricky. I mean, you
Speaker 4: have some value can fall, but if you take big,
Speaker 4: big risks, you can get caught, especially in a best
Speaker 4: ball format in our run that could really really hamstring
Speaker 4: your team to where you're chasing. You see it all
Speaker 4: the time in quarterback runs and tight end runs are
Speaker 4: no different at the onesie positions. I mean, I'm not
Speaker 4: saying Supporter and Hockinson are bad picks, but you're gonna
Speaker 4: see it. Ton of receivers, a ton of running backs
Speaker 4: going off the board here. Quarterbacks used to be fine,
Speaker 4: but and then when you come back to you in
Speaker 4: the sixth and seventh, like, yeah, you got Bijon and
Speaker 4: that's a perfect start if you did. If this is
Speaker 4: a Jamar Chase Hill, Higgins, Laporta, Hockinson, I would say
Speaker 4: it's worse than Jon because you're getting an anchor running back.
Speaker 4: But it's risky for me because I would probably just
Speaker 4: take one and taken to DeVonta Smith at the DK Metcalf.
Speaker 4: But George Dickens, you know guys like that that you
Speaker 4: know should have probably been the pick, but hey, you're
Speaker 4: going for first. So if Laporta and Hockinson are top
Speaker 4: five times, you're probably finishing first in this league. And
Speaker 4: if they're not, who cares.
Speaker 5: I like win. I liked that.
Speaker 4: I would never do it myself. But it's hard. It's
Speaker 4: hard with every cop. Like tomorrow, we have a main
Speaker 4: event coverage with you know the guys in sports gambling podcasts.
Speaker 4: Very excited about two great guys. One of them is
Speaker 4: an Eagle fans, and we love him more.
Speaker 5: But it's great analysis.
Speaker 4: That's gonna be exciting because that's the main event. I mean,
Speaker 4: that might be.
Speaker 5: The best analysis I've ever heard you do.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm saying it's truth. They know it. It's a
Speaker 4: fun show. We always have fun.
Speaker 5: On one I'm talking about what team?
Speaker 1: Oh well, you know. The other thing to point out
Speaker 1: there too, is is you know John Roseick a great
Speaker 1: guy volume drafters. Sometimes I think some.
Speaker 4: Of these extremely smart at what he does. No shade
Speaker 4: it off thrown at him. He does a ton of these.
Speaker 4: You know, whether it's best Ball, whether it's gorillas, whether
Speaker 4: it's main events. He knows what he's doing.
Speaker 1: And he's also a Packers fan living in Illinois, which,
Speaker 1: all right, the the thing I wanted to point out
Speaker 1: speaking of the Eagles here, ter Demante Smith goes off
Speaker 1: the board at the five oh two to THEO Greminger,
Speaker 1: and THEO went with Burrow in the in the in
Speaker 1: the in the round before. It's supposed to be fun,
Speaker 1: and THEO is having some fun here with not one,
Speaker 1: not two, but three Cincinnati Bengals in the top four rounds.
Speaker 1: This is a lot, I think. I don't know, Turp,
Speaker 1: have you been seeing this in your drafts that you
Speaker 1: know somebody in the one, the two, maybe the probably
Speaker 1: not the three, well maybe the three spot. If if
Speaker 1: you don't get Chase, sometimes you get a Higgins, Chase Brown,
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow stack. You can get that. I've been seeing
Speaker 1: these on the left side of the board and some
Speaker 1: of the big gorillas.
Speaker 4: I'm pretty much seeing them in every gorilla. I mean,
Speaker 4: everybody is going after either Chase Higgins, Chase Brown, and
Speaker 4: then Joe Burrow. At some point in the four or five,
Speaker 4: some people are pushing him to the sixth. It's it's
Speaker 4: a rare thing where he falls the way back to you,
Speaker 4: but I've seen it happen before. But the Bengal stack
Speaker 4: is extremely popular early on. We always see every year
Speaker 4: Mojo puts up all the stacks that are just you know,
Speaker 4: the most popular ones out there, and most of the
Speaker 4: time they don't pan out. Do I think this one could?
Speaker 8: I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't see a path unless an injury happens that
Speaker 4: this stack doesn't get there. You know, I've been doing
Speaker 4: it a lot, you know, picking from for some reason,
Speaker 4: I keep getting the two, three, four picks, you know,
Speaker 4: mixing some one. So I'm not sitting here saying and
Speaker 4: it's it's not popular, but it's kind of hard not
Speaker 4: to do because these are the guys there. Like, if
Speaker 4: you're getting Chase one, Chase Brown's gonna be there in
Speaker 4: most cases. And then if you're doing that, why not
Speaker 4: get Burrow if he has the opportunity, What you don't
Speaker 4: pass on Burrow? It just doesn't make any sense at
Speaker 4: the opportunities there.
Speaker 5: He made is getting my attention guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's Michael Nazak squad. We talked about the four
Speaker 1: volume guys he got in the first four rounds with Lamb, Collins,
Speaker 1: Kyraen Williams, and Connor, and he follows it up Farrell
Speaker 1: with another Volume guy and Alvin Kamara, a guy who
Speaker 1: was utilized quite a bit. And I said on the
Speaker 1: show this week I can't remember Sunday or Monday. It's
Speaker 1: a team that was not very good last year, that
Speaker 1: had poor quarterback play, and you can make the case
Speaker 1: that they're as bad this year, maybe a little bit
Speaker 1: better with the return of Shahid and Olave. But a
Speaker 1: rising tide raises all ships. Kamara did it when he
Speaker 1: was when the team was bad. If the team's mediocre
Speaker 1: this year, he's gonna do it again. I feel like
Speaker 1: I need more Kamara on my team, and pharalight, I
Speaker 1: think you concur.
Speaker 5: I do I do, sir.
Speaker 6: I really like what the young quarterback we'll be able
Speaker 6: to do, and he'll be enjoyable to watch as he
Speaker 6: goes through the season. I don't think we're going to
Speaker 6: see a guy get pulled and sent to the bench
Speaker 6: because he has can't handle it early.
Speaker 5: I think he's going to.
Speaker 6: Get incrementally better every week, and by the end of
Speaker 6: the year, he's going to play like a mid range
Speaker 6: quarterback and that'll be great for everyone that you had
Speaker 6: as a fantasy football player to the Saints obviously, I
Speaker 6: think even terp would agreet Kamara in the right side
Speaker 6: of the fifth is a pretty good bargain.
Speaker 4: My stance on Kamara is very simple and it's been
Speaker 4: like this for probably last year. In this Kamar can
Speaker 4: get you there, but can he win it for you?
Speaker 4: He did it a long time ago. But the Saints
Speaker 4: are going to be very bad no matter. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 4: obviously there's a small percent chance that they could be
Speaker 4: better than people think they are. But in most people's
Speaker 4: eyes are the worst team in the NFL and paper.
Speaker 4: So you know, if Camarrow Kamar gets there early, is
Speaker 4: there a world where he just gets shut down or
Speaker 4: maybe gets you know, dealt the deadline to a running
Speaker 4: back eighty team, which could make his value better.
Speaker 5: We got an over under wins on the Saints. I'll
Speaker 5: look that up.
Speaker 4: Got to be one of the worst in football. I
Speaker 4: would be surprised if it's not the worst. I mean, what,
Speaker 4: there's this, It's.
Speaker 5: Got to be better than Cleveland.
Speaker 1: The worst in pro football is Cleveland at four and
Speaker 1: a half four and a half. However, just ahead of
Speaker 1: them are the Titans, Jets, Giants, and the Saints at
Speaker 1: five and a half, so they are bottom tier there
Speaker 1: for sure. Guys. I want to talk about Scott show
Speaker 1: Wolf's team. He's about to be up Stephen yourgallos is
Speaker 1: in the YouTube chat right now. The Fantasy Soprano, Uh,
Speaker 1: the Father Soprano as it Scott Schoenwolf's team uh team seven.
Speaker 1: He started off with Jamiir Gibbs at the one o seven,
Speaker 1: so that was really surprising. We mean to talk about
Speaker 1: that how far he felt tonight, Brian Thomas, Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: and then Marvin Harrison and Zay Flower. Scott Hoyt has
Speaker 1: said that this team just keeps getting better and we'll
Speaker 1: see what happens here with the with the sixth round pick.
Speaker 1: But obviously you know my analysis on Gibbs at seven, congratulations,
Speaker 1: that is awesome. Didn't see it coming. I think Brian
Speaker 1: Thomas falling all the way to the two oh six.
Speaker 1: I have to look up the mojo on that, but
Speaker 1: I'd be willing to bet that was a couple of
Speaker 1: slots after his adp Lamar Jackson in the mid third,
Speaker 1: and then Marvin Harrison, who I continue to believe is
Speaker 1: a bargain right now. Zave Flowers, I haven't made up
Speaker 1: my mind on turp Port. Didn't you say last week
Speaker 1: you were off Flowers? Or am I making that up?
Speaker 4: You're a hund percent correct I'm not drafting much save Flowers.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so the Flowers pick we don't like.
Speaker 1: But what and now he gets DeAndre Swift is his
Speaker 1: second running back? Here a current Lion and Gibbs and
Speaker 1: a former Lion and Swift. Guys, what do you make
Speaker 1: and Pharaoh, I'll throw this to you right now. And Turp,
Speaker 1: I want you to weigh in on this. What do
Speaker 1: you make of shoon Wolf's team here? Lamar Jackson, Gibbs
Speaker 1: and Swift, Brian Thomas, Harrison and Flowers.
Speaker 6: I like Flowers best when he is paired with Jackson,
Speaker 6: so I can live with that.
Speaker 5: I'm not a here and guy. Everyone else is.
Speaker 6: Gibbs is one of the most exciting players in the league.
Speaker 6: Swift is where I think the action goes with that
Speaker 6: ball club. It's running back. I like the team.
Speaker 1: The team is solid and uh and in Turp, I guess,
Speaker 1: with the exception of Flower, does does the Flowers pairing
Speaker 1: with Lamar Jackson make you like the pick anymore?
Speaker 4: Makes it makes me like it a little bit more?
Speaker 4: I just there's a lot of guys in Baltimore, and
Speaker 4: are there any of them really that much better than
Speaker 4: the other? One is a Flowers that much better than
Speaker 4: Richard Bateman.
Speaker 6: To something because the Flowers has been overdrafted for a while.
Speaker 6: He can't be out talented. He's got, he's got a
Speaker 6: tremendous team. He's a he's a talented kid, but he's
Speaker 6: just he's been overdrafted. The numbers don't suggest there's a
Speaker 6: lot of guys in this business will catch seventy balls,
Speaker 6: and you know, I think that's the.
Speaker 4: Guys who are being drafted around them. George Pickens, I
Speaker 4: would take a hundred times over one hundred Flowers.
Speaker 1: Does the Bateman contract extension do we read anything into
Speaker 1: that as far as how we think the Ravens are
Speaker 1: going to treat Flowers this year or am I just
Speaker 1: reading to I don't think that's anything to worry about.
Speaker 4: I mean, DeAndre Hopkins is there gonna you know, he's
Speaker 4: gonna muck it up a little bit, you know, obviously
Speaker 4: likely got hurt, but he's still going to be around.
Speaker 4: Mark Andrew's gonna be around. They're still a running football team.
Speaker 4: They're a team that should have a lot of positive
Speaker 4: game scripts and be ahead in most games. So that
Speaker 4: would be negative to to Jay Flowers. I don't know
Speaker 4: what he's being drafted. If you told me I can
Speaker 4: get Zay Flowers in the late sixth early seventh, I
Speaker 4: would probably be but in the fifth round being drafted
Speaker 4: around DeVonta Smith, DK metcalf Courtland Sutton, George Pickens, Teed McMillan.
Speaker 4: You know guys like that Trayveon Henderson.
Speaker 6: Those guys that you're throwing out there though their quarterback
Speaker 6: didn't throw how many touchdown passes last year book, you know,
Speaker 6: forty one touchdown passes. There's where the Za Flowers thing
Speaker 6: becomes interesting because.
Speaker 4: It's surely in the range of possibilities.
Speaker 1: Yes, guys.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: The Scott Hoyt is also pointing out you regarding the
Speaker 1: the Flowers conversation, that he's better than b and no
Speaker 1: argument there. I just brought that up because of the
Speaker 1: monetary investment, the financial investment. I thought it raised an
Speaker 1: eyebrow when you already had Flowers that you're investing into Bateman.
Speaker 1: And then he points out that Isaiah likely is hurt
Speaker 1: now too, and we don't know how serious it is,
Speaker 1: but certainly that would create us some some more targets
Speaker 1: for for everybody. Really Andrews Bateman and and of course
Speaker 1: they Flowers as well. Uh, Pharaoh, your your interpretation of
Speaker 1: this injury for likely? I guess we don't know the
Speaker 1: extent of it, but no idea sounds fairly significant. I
Speaker 1: mean we we're gonna be drafting likely probably blind. I
Speaker 1: would say definitely in Louisville and maybe into Las Vegas
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 6: You probably need to avoid that because I have no idea.
Speaker 6: We'll we'll hear what happened some of these, you know,
Speaker 6: injuries early on in camp that they end up not
Speaker 6: being this serious. But I hate that this players are
Speaker 6: going to miss time because I really really like this player.
Speaker 5: Mister Hoyd is in competition for the uh for the.
Speaker 6: Most obvious comment tonight, Bateman is bet Flowers is better
Speaker 6: than Bateman, Sure he is. Flowers is better. He's more
Speaker 6: talented than a lot of these guys going in front
Speaker 6: of him. But as Turf so eloquently aligned it, the
Speaker 6: situation for fantasy football is different.
Speaker 1: The team six tonight, guys we have to talk about.
Speaker 1: Bill Hollywood was already chiming in, and they said he
Speaker 1: was most interested to see what Roseck and what Armani did,
Speaker 1: but mostly Armani. Tonight, Armani with the true rainbow start
Speaker 1: tonight running back, tight end, quarterback, and wide Receiver's first
Speaker 1: four picks, He's added George Pickens and Jalen Waddle onto
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin, Josh Allen, George Kittle, and Christian McCaffrey at
Speaker 1: the one oh six turp. I listen, I think McCaffrey
Speaker 1: is a fine pick this year at the end of
Speaker 1: the first round. But if I have Gibbs and McCaffrey
Speaker 1: staring me in the face in a league where I
Speaker 1: have to win the whole thing in order to get anything,
Speaker 1: unless I take second and I get a pair of
Speaker 1: Sacks and Farrell, I'm taking Gibbs ten times out of
Speaker 1: ten over McCaffrey. That's a head scratcher for me. McCaffrey
Speaker 1: over Gibbs.
Speaker 4: And I understand that, and I get what we're saying.
Speaker 4: But my question is why, what's wrong with McCaffrey. You've
Speaker 4: seen the ceiling that he could put up, and he
Speaker 4: could possess in a league where the only person that
Speaker 4: matters is the one the team that wins. So to me,
Speaker 4: if there's one you see it all over in scott Fishball.
Speaker 4: I've seen a couple tweets that's been out there, and obviously,
Speaker 4: you know, in this contest where there's only one winner.
Speaker 4: To me, either one of those guys is fine. I'm
Speaker 4: not downgrade in either one of them. But I think
Speaker 4: McCaffrey is just as valuable as gibbs because if everything
Speaker 4: works out, McCaffrey should be a top one or two
Speaker 4: pick going in the next year with you know, the
Speaker 4: type of ceiling he could put out there. Same thing
Speaker 4: with Gibbs, I mean you could. Everything positive has been
Speaker 4: about Christian McCaffrey so far. He's healthy, he's moving around.
Speaker 4: Obviously you get the ball. You know, there's not really
Speaker 4: that much behind him that you worry about are banged up,
Speaker 4: so that's to get him more targets. I agree with
Speaker 4: what you're saying. I would take, you know, Gibbs over McCaffrey,
Speaker 4: but I don't think it's crazy in this type of
Speaker 4: format just because you're shooting for that you know, overall
Speaker 4: winner and league winner. So to me, McCaffrey is just
Speaker 4: as high as gibbs on to get you there. I
Speaker 4: like what I like, what I like what Mojoe didn't.
Speaker 4: I think his drafts in the top three right now, yeah,
Speaker 4: I I I.
Speaker 1: Am not saying it's crazy that he took McCaffrey over Gibbs.
Speaker 1: I get the argument for it. The the what it
Speaker 1: comes down to for me is and I guess the
Speaker 1: big selling point is McCaffrey's not sharing the backfield with
Speaker 1: David Montgomery, right like Jamier Gibbs is, but Gibbs is younger.
Speaker 1: I know, the schedule gets quite a bit tougher for
Speaker 1: Detroit this year. The Niners schedule gets gets much easier.
Speaker 1: And then we have this little nugget come out of
Speaker 1: training camp from Colton Pouncy from the Athletic Today that
Speaker 1: Jamier Gibbs has usually been the first back on the
Speaker 1: field with the Stars. Why is this interesting because in
Speaker 1: previous years, Montgomery would usually get the bulk of the
Speaker 1: first bulk of carries with Gibbs, you know, working in
Speaker 1: later sort of how they treated him in games too, Right,
Speaker 1: we saw Montgomery pounded in the first quarter, soften up
Speaker 1: that defense. Gibbs would just wreck it in the second
Speaker 1: and third quarters, and then Montgomery would just ice the
Speaker 1: game out essentially. But this is interesting where maybe Gibbs
Speaker 1: is out there more than Montgomery, more fuel to the fire.
Speaker 5: Here.
Speaker 1: I guess maybe Ferrell. It's different folks, different strokes or
Speaker 1: different folks here. I'm taking Gibbs totally gets the McCaffrey
Speaker 1: argument over Gibbs. I think you probably would have leaned
Speaker 1: towards Gibbs here as well.
Speaker 6: I would you know McCaffrey. Now, for years, drafting McCaffrey
Speaker 6: was like inviting yourself to split ices. Now it's more
Speaker 6: like splitting nights.
Speaker 5: He's and Gibbs. To me, I would might move with
Speaker 5: McCaffrey even further down. And if you ask.
Speaker 6: Anyone who took McCaffrey in the first round last year,
Speaker 6: and this is why he just drops in the drafts,
Speaker 6: you're not going to do it this year. They're they're
Speaker 6: they're gun shy on it this year.
Speaker 4: Man. But they might be gun shy, but that's not
Speaker 4: stopping drafters from taking him.
Speaker 6: And if they weren't gun shy, he would be the
Speaker 6: first player pick. You just said it already be there.
Speaker 4: Well that was I mean, we're talking about something two
Speaker 4: years ago. People still have that in their brains.
Speaker 5: There, they got it in their brain, and that's why
Speaker 5: he's going to go.
Speaker 4: Christian McCaffrey start the drafting process this year going oh gosh,
Speaker 4: I can only stuck around. Yeah, early second round. Now
Speaker 4: he's being I mean I've seen him go as high
Speaker 4: as one five, one six, and drafts.
Speaker 5: He went one tur that's where you saw that exactly.
Speaker 4: And I don't think it's crazy. I don't think it's.
Speaker 6: No one's saying is crazy. We're just saying that it's
Speaker 6: unusual and we'll will likely not be seen again. And
Speaker 6: you know you you're gonna have lots of chances to
Speaker 6: pick him because he don't worry.
Speaker 4: If I have the opportunity to take McCaffrey, I will
Speaker 4: take him.
Speaker 6: Will if he's available in every first round where you're drafting,
Speaker 6: if you're not in the top four, will you be picking?
Speaker 5: Will you? Will you pick him five in every draft?
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not saying I will do that, but
Speaker 4: I will definitely have more than the majority of Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 5: Okay, fair enough.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 1: The other thing too, is and I can't remember who is.
Speaker 1: Somebody mentioned this in the chat room earlier about big
Speaker 1: Gorilla tonight or big Gorilla that's going on right now
Speaker 1: where George Kittle fell to the three to oh wait,
Speaker 1: Darren RMANI gets him at the two oh seven tonight.
Speaker 1: So his first scene, first two picks here tonight are
Speaker 1: our forty nine ers. And you can make the case
Speaker 1: if things fall correctly, and I'm not saying this is likely,
Speaker 1: but it's possible he could have the number one running back,
Speaker 1: number one tight end, and number one quarterback on his
Speaker 1: team this year with his first three picks in McCaffrey, Kittle,
Speaker 1: and Allen. And that's certainly a good way to do it.
Speaker 1: And now is just like you can't remember who said, yeah,
Speaker 1: Bill Hollywood said in the chat right now? Uh, Team
Speaker 1: six is not missing McLaurin, Pickings, Waddle, Judy. So he
Speaker 1: got his elite guys early on at these at these
Speaker 1: other positions, including the two onesie positions, and then you
Speaker 1: have all these receivers coming in McLaurin, who I still
Speaker 1: think has a depressed value a little bit because of
Speaker 1: the hold end, George Pickens, who I think people are
Speaker 1: a little bit gun shy on because of playing with
Speaker 1: Cede Lamb and knowing what a target monster that dude's been.
Speaker 1: And he's got to, you know, develop chemistry on a
Speaker 1: new offense with the new OC, new head coach new quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. Jalen Waddle, who knows in
Speaker 1: Miami what that offense is going to look like. Tyreek
Speaker 1: Hill is steaming up a little bit here. So you're
Speaker 1: looking at with those three players, and then Jerry Judy
Speaker 1: could be the number one receiver on his team in
Speaker 1: the mid seventh round. These are all, I don't want
Speaker 1: to say misfit toys, but these are all guys that
Speaker 1: you can see why they're going where they are, but
Speaker 1: you can also see the upside with all four of
Speaker 1: these receivers.
Speaker 6: To Farrell, yeah, certainly, And I'm sorry I got distracted
Speaker 6: there going on.
Speaker 1: That's okay, that's what we love.
Speaker 5: But you know, we got it. I love what's going
Speaker 5: on with these tidy ends.
Speaker 1: We should talk about this too. A Team eleven. The
Speaker 1: mad genius of fantasy football here, Todd Aaron. He is
Speaker 1: the mad genius of Kansas City Chiefs football right now.
Speaker 1: Xavier Worthy in the third, Rashi Rice in the fourth,
Speaker 1: Kelsey in the fifth, Mahomes in the sixth. So four
Speaker 1: straight Kansas City Chiefs there and Turp. If we are
Speaker 1: to believe everything, all the reports that the Kansas City
Speaker 1: passing offenses back this year. This is quite the coup
Speaker 1: for Todd Aaron here in the eleven slot tonight.
Speaker 4: Love the stack A little overkill for May probably one
Speaker 4: too many. You're literally betting on a Peyton Maine type
Speaker 4: of season, you know, back in the day with the Broncos,
Speaker 4: for this type of bill to hit. Obviously, taking Pearsall
Speaker 4: and Deebo helps that out a little bit. Getting the
Speaker 4: two stud running backs to start. I think it's a
Speaker 4: little risky, but hey, you're going for a win. I
Speaker 4: would never do this in a managed format ever, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I who So if it was one too many, would
Speaker 1: you have eliminated Rashi Rice out of there and taken
Speaker 1: word the Kelsey and Mahomes and just called a good Probably?
Speaker 4: I mean, if yeah, that's probably what I would have
Speaker 4: done in this type of format, just because he had
Speaker 4: Rice is gonna be that late season hammer to get
Speaker 4: you there. But if that chief stack doesn't pan out
Speaker 4: early in the season, you might be too far behind
Speaker 4: for it.
Speaker 6: The matter, he's one pick away from being an honorary
Speaker 6: member of the Hunt family.
Speaker 5: I love what he's doing here.
Speaker 4: A team real quick though, a team that we have
Speaker 4: not mentioned yet, which I think is one of the
Speaker 4: best drafted teams so far in this tournament is Team ten.
Speaker 4: I really liked what they did, very very sharp owner
Speaker 4: every pick. I love the Sekir pick. I'm not the
Speaker 4: biggest fan of. I just want to, you know, make
Speaker 4: sure I brought that up. That goes mister Elliott over here.
Speaker 4: But every pick Damson Williams in the sixth round, sign
Speaker 4: me up for that, every single draft. If he if
Speaker 4: I ever see him in the sixth round, I will
Speaker 4: take him one hundred percent of the time. You know,
Speaker 4: Ted McMillan falling that far, I've seen him going the
Speaker 4: fourth and rafts Ken Kenneth Walker, who's nothing but positive
Speaker 4: so far from the coach, and just overall, Marion Hampton
Speaker 4: again Naji Harris reports that came out today that don't
Speaker 4: sound promising, Saint Brown falling a little bit, and then
Speaker 4: obviously Trey McBride, he's just missing Jared Goff you know,
Speaker 4: a little bit later, and this team is could be
Speaker 4: my favorite to win the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I look at it from the standpoint of you
Speaker 1: get all those targets locked up in your first two
Speaker 1: rounds with McBride and Saint Brown. You mentioned the Najie
Speaker 1: Harris news, and we've already seen where Mari and Hampton's
Speaker 1: been going in some of the prosers as Joe's like
Speaker 1: late second round he falls tonight to the three tenths,
Speaker 1: So good value there. I'm a big Kenneth Walker fan
Speaker 1: this year, So Doug gets the volume there. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's a lot of volume in your first four picks.
Speaker 1: Good value on McMillan, the explosive playmaking of Jamison Williams,
Speaker 1: and then the steady, the steady touch of Khalil Shakir.
Speaker 1: I know Turp doesn't like it, but that's okay. And
Speaker 1: then at Mecha Guka, who's really been a sending up
Speaker 1: draft boards right now too because of the of the
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin reports that we're getting out of Tampa. So
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that Shaki and I book are explosive players,
Speaker 1: but in this format you know that that they can
Speaker 1: flex out and do you do you good on those
Speaker 1: weeks where you need just some kind of steady production,
Speaker 1: and I think that you're going to get it there
Speaker 1: for sure. That another word from f F today and
Speaker 1: Fantasy points go ahead, Farrell.
Speaker 6: I don't know if the Shakir Uh. The commentary by
Speaker 6: Turp is just okay, but it's okay to disagree, Urp.
Speaker 5: I'm just, uh, I.
Speaker 6: Want to see some of the things you're doing because
Speaker 6: I'm going to assign someone to worry about your teams
Speaker 6: if you're not, because if you're not going to take
Speaker 6: Shakir at this point, you and then you're you're some
Speaker 6: one hundred perfect on McMillan and Williams. But I can't
Speaker 6: I don't understand why you can't see it at Shakir.
Speaker 6: But this is a great team. I like this team.
Speaker 5: Then you do very well because no love Shakir, and
Speaker 5: so that's uh.
Speaker 4: Yeah, see no downside to that team so far.
Speaker 5: Yes, there you go.
Speaker 4: You see at the teams as well drafted as you
Speaker 4: could have right now, you.
Speaker 6: Know, Balki, with bye weeks? How many NFL weeks do
Speaker 6: we have this year? Of course, we don't count the
Speaker 6: last week in fantasy football, so we're dealing with seventeen weeks.
Speaker 5: Is that correct?
Speaker 9: Ye?
Speaker 6: Okay, you know, Balki, I'm gonna check in with Turp
Speaker 6: seventeen consecutive Sundays.
Speaker 5: Make sure you watch.
Speaker 4: Always answer you don't worry you. I'll always be there.
Speaker 6: You know you, man, I can't count on you, Turf,
Speaker 6: you're the greatest, but we are going to sign a
Speaker 6: watch committee for you.
Speaker 10: I like it.
Speaker 4: I like a little watch committee.
Speaker 1: We have Keon Coleman going off the board here at
Speaker 1: the nine oh three tonight. That is the f F
Speaker 1: PC Joe duo made up of Nate Modissett and Stephen
Speaker 1: Perry or Modisset. I apologize Nate if I'm getting your
Speaker 1: name wrong. Keon Coleman goes there as his number four
Speaker 1: receiver to go with Justin Jefferson, A. J. Brown and
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf. He has Jalen Hurts on this team as well,
Speaker 1: so the eagle stack is strong Brown and Hurts. He
Speaker 1: gets Pollared Etn and Breese Hall there at running back,
Speaker 1: and then Mark Andrews again could be a really good pick,
Speaker 1: dependent upon what happens with Isaiah Likely uh, we'll see
Speaker 1: their tight end nine for Andrews. A very solid, maybe
Speaker 1: unspectacular team. Maybe it does spectacular. I don't know, Pharaoh,
Speaker 1: I'll throw it to you. On team three here, the
Speaker 1: Hurts Brown stack leads this year interesting backfield being cobbled
Speaker 1: together and a pair of really strong receivers to start
Speaker 1: off this team.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's what I said about Flowers. That's really the
Speaker 6: only way I like Brown at that point, U.
Speaker 8: Terp.
Speaker 6: I want to go back to Turp and get his
Speaker 6: assessment on Pollard. I know he's given it to us already,
Speaker 6: but I didn't hear it. Andrews. I expect a big
Speaker 6: bounce back here if he doesn't like Shakir Turp, What
Speaker 6: do you think of Coman?
Speaker 4: You said, what do I think of Tony Pollard?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, I want there's a multi question, mostly interested
Speaker 6: in your comban because I want to hear about Coleman
Speaker 6: and she here being the bookend so speak.
Speaker 4: So I don't really love Coleman. I don't have much Coleman.
Speaker 5: How do you think Allen is going to be the numbers?
Speaker 4: None of these guys, Josh Palmers and the Dalton. I'm
Speaker 4: not sitting here saying he's a sexy names but you
Speaker 4: know Josh Palmer is gonna be fine. I'm not hating
Speaker 4: on Shakir. I don't mind Shakir in the seventh round,
Speaker 4: but when he gets pushed up a little highers where
Speaker 4: I'm probably out. You said he's a good receiver. I've
Speaker 4: said that since he came out. I didn't like him
Speaker 4: coming out of college. He didn't show me anything last year.
Speaker 4: And I know, you know, people are saying he looks
Speaker 4: better in camp, and he's doing this and doing that.
Speaker 4: Let me see when the pads come on. When when
Speaker 4: the lights come on, can't ke Coleman, you know, produced
Speaker 4: I'll take guys over him that are being drafted right around.
Speaker 5: I'm curious about that.
Speaker 6: But you have back peddled so much on Shakiir that
Speaker 6: you have now moved out of the end zone.
Speaker 4: I mostly just brought up Shaki to control you a
Speaker 4: little bit because we have our last show.
Speaker 5: Let's let's go. Let's go with Pollard Hoard? How is this?
Speaker 7: I will.
Speaker 5: For all these years and it just won't completely happen
Speaker 5: for us. What's gonna happen this year?
Speaker 4: I will always draft Tony Pollard. He's not a sexy name.
Speaker 4: He's not an exciting name. Tajy Spears is obviously there.
Speaker 4: It's gonna you know, he looked better, so you know
Speaker 4: it's obviously gonna be. The ceiling is not as high
Speaker 4: with Tony Pollard. He's a He's a very very very
Speaker 4: safe pick, which is fine if you're taking a running
Speaker 4: back to type of situation like this team did. Would
Speaker 4: I ever take Tony Power is my running back? One? No,
Speaker 4: I think the Titans are gonna be a lot better
Speaker 4: than people think. I think cam Wart's getting slept on
Speaker 4: in drafts. You know, do I think he's gonna be
Speaker 4: a Fantasy superstar? Not yet, But I think the Titans
Speaker 4: are gonna be better. I think he is the real deal.
Speaker 4: You know, Calvin Ridley's getting a lot of positive press
Speaker 4: moving up draft boards. But another guy you know has
Speaker 4: been all over draft boards so far the summer. But
Speaker 4: Tony Power, Like I said, nice name name, I'll draft
Speaker 4: love him as a RB two, RB three if you're
Speaker 4: if you're that high, if he falls a little bit more.
Speaker 4: But he's just not a sexy name. He's not a name.
Speaker 4: Or you see guys that are being look look right
Speaker 4: next to him and both sides of them.
Speaker 11: R J.
Speaker 4: Harvey, hype. You know Broncos, Sean Payton, Travis Hunter, Jaggs,
Speaker 4: Liam Cohen, you know, Trevor Lawrence, Brian Thomas. The excitement
Speaker 4: when you say Tony Pollard, it's just like.
Speaker 5: And that should help us that like the player.
Speaker 1: I agree, I will say regarding Pollard here, I would
Speaker 1: not take him as my running back one unless I
Speaker 1: went to zero RB and a player that will never
Speaker 1: You'll never see him going zero. RB is our first
Speaker 1: guest on the show today. Yes, he is drafting from
Speaker 1: the sixth spot. He is the godfather of this pros
Speaker 1: versus Joe's challenge, putting it together each and every year.
Speaker 5: He is the.
Speaker 1: Owner of fantasymojo dot com and you could connect with
Speaker 1: him on the X at Fantasy Mojo. He is the
Speaker 1: incomparable Darren ARMANI, Darren ARMANI, welcome in man.
Speaker 10: How you doing tonight, gentlemen? How are we doing?
Speaker 1: The question is here? How are you feeling about potentially
Speaker 1: having the top running back, the top tight end, and
Speaker 1: the top quarterback in fantasy football this year all on
Speaker 1: the same team here and Brosers as Joe's.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean that was that was the plan.
Speaker 2: I kind of scripted this out assuming McCaffrey fell to me,
Speaker 2: and then I had to hope Kettle came back. So
Speaker 2: it kind of went the way I thought it would.
Speaker 2: So I'm taking the low hanging fruit. I mean, these
Speaker 2: these guys, aren't they aren't just ceiling plays they they'll
Speaker 2: totally shatter a ceiling, you know, any given the week.
Speaker 2: So and I just now it's getting a little hot
Speaker 2: in here. I'm like trying to fill out my running backs.
Speaker 2: So this is not how I usually build a team.
Speaker 2: But pros versus Joe's, we'll get a little exotic.
Speaker 1: The question I have for you, Darren Turp made a
Speaker 1: pretty strong argument for McCaffrey over Gibbs.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 1: I listen scripting it out. It is fine, but I
Speaker 1: modify that script if Gibbs falls me at the one
Speaker 1: oh six. You kept strong with McCaffrey. Why do you
Speaker 1: like McCaffrey here better over Jamior Gibbs.
Speaker 10: I like it.
Speaker 2: He fits the plan that I have for this draft
Speaker 2: better than Gibbs does. I could take either one of them.
Speaker 2: But seeing McCaffrey in camp now, like now that I
Speaker 2: see he's he's like, he looks, he looks good. I mean,
Speaker 2: he could get hurt tomorrow. But and in this format,
Speaker 2: I just got to swing for the fences. And it's
Speaker 2: it's more of a kind of a you know, from
Speaker 2: a top down perspective, He's gonna fit my my build
Speaker 2: a little bit more. I could go either way on
Speaker 2: I mean given draft, like, if I was picking from
Speaker 2: the four spot there, I might have went. I might
Speaker 2: have gone Gibbs because I don't think Kittle would have
Speaker 2: made it back to me there. So it's it's more
Speaker 2: just a construction play, was it.
Speaker 1: So it was important to have both McCaffrey and Kittle
Speaker 1: on this team then because of locking up both those niners.
Speaker 2: Then yeah for me, Yeah, Otherwise I would have went
Speaker 2: down a totally different path. If I didn't get kittled,
Speaker 2: then I don't know that I would have taken out
Speaker 2: and I could have went down like a different different
Speaker 2: shoot altogether.
Speaker 1: Well, but why Josh Allen over Lamar Jackson over Jayden Daniels.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because if I look at well, for first of all,
Speaker 2: when I'm looking at the teams last year that won
Speaker 2: their divisions, six out of the seven teams either had
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts or Josh Allen. So Allan, like I said,
Speaker 2: he's gonna have spike weeks, but he could put up
Speaker 2: a fifty burger, He could put up a forty burger.
Speaker 2: He just goes that much further in a given a
Speaker 2: week than than Jackson. For me, now, Jackson might have
Speaker 2: he might have more thirty point weeks overall for the season.
Speaker 2: But I'm hoping that, uh, just just the smash potential
Speaker 2: Allen's going to do it for me. And you know,
Speaker 2: again based on what I saw last year. But I
Speaker 2: think Allen's just going to do it again. I mean,
Speaker 2: he's he's pretty much that whole team.
Speaker 1: So you had been following, I mean, obviously you follow
Speaker 1: shows closely and more closely than anybody, Darren. You just
Speaker 1: mentioned that six of the seven division winners last year
Speaker 1: had either Jalen Hurts or Josh Allen any other tasty
Speaker 1: nuggets you noticed when you were looking at last year's
Speaker 1: teams and formulating your championship draft strategy for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: Uh, it's I mean, just how the people who win
Speaker 2: these leagues typically like you're gonna have to hit on
Speaker 2: your early picks. But then the people who win are
Speaker 2: the ones who nail you know, one or two guys
Speaker 2: like at the at the end of their draft, Like
Speaker 2: those are the guys that kind of put him over
Speaker 2: the top. Like the guy who won it last year,
Speaker 2: he won the whole thing, Rob Cannon, the PBDJAB. He
Speaker 2: drafted Jordan Mason in the last round and that's what
Speaker 2: really set him apart from all the other teams. So
Speaker 2: you got you have to do it right in the
Speaker 2: early rounds. Just don't mess it up. But it's it's
Speaker 2: gonna be what you do from rounds ten to twenty
Speaker 2: that's really gonna set you apart. And actually I won
Speaker 2: my league last year, but I took a lot of zeros.
Speaker 2: I mean I was, I got a little caught up
Speaker 2: in the Kamani bot I'll train, and I mean there
Speaker 2: was there was those guys like you start listening to
Speaker 2: too much of the the hype going around, and those
Speaker 2: guys are gonna end up on your roster into those
Speaker 2: zeros for listening season. So it's it's tough at this point,
Speaker 2: you know, before the before uh preseason games actually start,
Speaker 2: you're really just kind of.
Speaker 10: Taking swings at some of these guys.
Speaker 1: But so the pick that you are looking at for
Speaker 1: your next one here is ten oh seven. You're on
Speaker 1: deck for it. As Scott Schoenwolf is looking to draft
Speaker 1: the player here, he might be after some green as well.
Speaker 1: It sounds like you're probably gonna go running back here, Darren,
Speaker 1: Am I reading that correctly?
Speaker 10: Let's see what Scott does, oh.
Speaker 1: So it may it may be affected by by what
Speaker 1: Scott's pick is here. Uh he goes Colston lovelin the
Speaker 1: tight end. And now you are on the clock here,
Speaker 1: Darren HARMANI at the ten oh seven take us through
Speaker 1: this pick.
Speaker 2: So all the guys on the only two guys on
Speaker 2: the left side of the board have their quarterbacks, so
Speaker 2: they're going to start to go. So I'm just gonna
Speaker 2: grab my party pick here, love it to lock that up.
Speaker 1: With Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle. Rock Purty will be
Speaker 1: the selection here at ten oh seven. So you have
Speaker 1: a the Niners stack and uh and and that will
Speaker 1: help you. There's a lot of stacks going on in this, Darren,
Speaker 1: a lot of night. I just I don't remember really
Speaker 1: seeing this many in previous prosers of Joe's drafts, or
Speaker 1: maybe I'm just more sensitive to it tonight here. But
Speaker 1: obviously the Niner stack was part of the plan for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean, to be honest, in this format,
Speaker 2: stacks aren't essential. You know, you're not in a tournament
Speaker 2: where you need just you're not you're not trying to
Speaker 2: beat well, there is an overall title. But I mean
Speaker 2: the carrot that you're you're going for is sort of
Speaker 2: the main event entry to win your league, and if
Speaker 2: you happen to finish first overall, then that's just you know,
Speaker 2: that's nice to get that belt. But I'm to me,
Speaker 2: this is a confined league, so try to do a
Speaker 2: little stacking. But like, don't don't go bananas. You know,
Speaker 2: it's a total points format as well. You know, you're
Speaker 2: not playing for the spike weeks in like fifteen sixteen
Speaker 2: seventeen playoffs.
Speaker 10: Its total points.
Speaker 2: So in here here you see the quarterbacks going now,
Speaker 2: so next went, look like Party wasn't going to make
Speaker 2: it back to me if I didn't take you.
Speaker 6: What two great quarterbacks with Allen and Party, And you've
Speaker 6: got other teams over here with lesser one quarter number
Speaker 6: one quarterback than what you've got at one and two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so uh so we're doing all right. But again
Speaker 2: it's a little hot in here. So it's just used
Speaker 2: to be play quarter you play running back chicken. And
Speaker 2: you don't know the one pick, I kind of maybe
Speaker 2: one it would have taken back the wattle pick, like
Speaker 2: I was thinking about taking a running back there, like
Speaker 2: I was taking R. J. Harvey, But I was like
Speaker 2: I was hoping one of those guys would come back
Speaker 2: to me.
Speaker 5: You could have had Pollard made me interpient.
Speaker 10: Are you playing nice with Turp tonight? You guys getting along?
Speaker 4: We get a longer positive tonight.
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 10: You got to get Turp out the Kentucky.
Speaker 6: It's not gonna happen during my lifetime, but I'll be
Speaker 6: out there by the time I turned fifty.
Speaker 5: He is on He is on my required Bears list.
Speaker 4: I got nine years left to get out there.
Speaker 10: Yeah, once you get the kids all grown up, then
Speaker 10: you get a little.
Speaker 4: Exactly that's exactly my say. You know exactly my planing.
Speaker 4: Once the kids get grown up, my kids are young,
Speaker 4: have no excuses. I'll be out there within the next
Speaker 4: nine years.
Speaker 1: There you go, Darren, And I want to give you
Speaker 1: an opportunity to talk up Fantasy Mojo. I say it
Speaker 1: all the time on the FFPC family of podcasts that
Speaker 1: everybody's drafting in the ff PC should have a subscription
Speaker 1: in Fantasy Mojo. I always cite the ADP. That's probably
Speaker 1: my favorite part of it. But you know, to see
Speaker 1: what you have done and expanded all the data that
Speaker 1: you have on here. Now it's it's really overwhelming, but
Speaker 1: super you full. For all the FFPC players who subscribe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean if you're even if you're just a
Speaker 2: high stakes player. I mean we get guys who subscribe
Speaker 2: that you know they play more in other formats as well.
Speaker 2: But to me, it's the essential companion to having to
Speaker 2: playing in the FFPC, Like you almost need to have
Speaker 2: it just to give you the macro view of what's
Speaker 2: going on, not not just ADP, for we do have
Speaker 2: sixteen flavors of ADP, right because you guys have so
Speaker 2: many formats and stuff to keep up with that, but
Speaker 2: then just leaderboards and stuff on once you get into
Speaker 2: the the playoff weeks, at the Sprint weeks, we got
Speaker 2: a lot of content around that, and of course for
Speaker 2: a lot of people it's like sitting down with their
Speaker 2: morning newspaper and then just looking at the draft boards
Speaker 2: from the previous night. But there's so much stuff that
Speaker 2: I tell people just go to the the virtual tour
Speaker 2: and check out.
Speaker 10: And see what all we have.
Speaker 2: So and it's funny like sometimes I'll get a new
Speaker 2: subscriber and I see I see like a name I recognize.
Speaker 2: I'm like, dude, what took you so long, Like you know,
Speaker 2: a guy who's been playing in the main event for
Speaker 2: years and finally they subscribe.
Speaker 10: So like, I don't.
Speaker 2: I'm not out there on Twitter like promoting it constantly.
Speaker 2: That that kind of rubs people the wrong. I'm not
Speaker 2: out there trying to sell people stuff. You know me, Bulky,
Speaker 2: I'm a little hodest with this stuff.
Speaker 1: I do all the selling for you.
Speaker 8: I'm always i that man.
Speaker 2: That's why I gotta get I'll get you a little
Speaker 2: bourbon out in uh in Kentucky.
Speaker 5: Oh perfect.
Speaker 1: I'm always always on board for that, very excited for that. Guys,
Speaker 1: we are coming up here, We're through the first half
Speaker 1: of the draft, Darren, and and I have to ask
Speaker 1: you how much your strategy switches now that we are
Speaker 1: in the back end of pros versus Joe's here are
Speaker 1: I know, people usually swing for the triples and the
Speaker 1: home runs here in a normal Fantasy Football high stakes
Speaker 1: draft with the FFPC. Does that get amplified for you?
Speaker 1: Are you really swinging for big time home runs here
Speaker 1: for the majority of these next ten picks.
Speaker 10: So now I got a lot of flexibility.
Speaker 2: I kind of got my foundation set and I can
Speaker 2: just pick the guys that I like, and I can go.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm done with quarterback in case anybody's watching,
Speaker 2: I'm not drafting any of my quarterbacks and I'll just
Speaker 2: be grabbing my choice of running back, wide receiver and
Speaker 2: tight ends from here on out.
Speaker 1: The good thing about that, and you're in the middle too,
Speaker 1: so if there's any runs or whatever you can kind
Speaker 1: of see, you can see them coming. You can adjust
Speaker 1: on the fly, which is always kind of nice. Farrell,
Speaker 1: I think you're the guy that always tells me you
Speaker 1: hate being in the middle, right.
Speaker 5: I yes, but I've changed over the years with that.
Speaker 6: One of the one of the things that I love
Speaker 6: the end because you know you can make one decision
Speaker 6: instead of sit there and agonize over multiple decisions as
Speaker 6: your players seem to all go away. It seems like
Speaker 6: when you're in the middle and you play against better players,
Speaker 6: that's what the like, what you're gonna find in the FFPC.
Speaker 6: That's what makes the middle somewhat uncomfortable for But the
Speaker 6: MS where I really.
Speaker 1: Prefer the hot seat getting a little uncomfortable for Darren
Speaker 1: ARMANI here, no, apparently not, because you have made the
Speaker 1: pick with plenty of time to spare, and what a surprise,
Speaker 1: it's another San Francisco forty nine er. How important was
Speaker 1: it to get McCaffrey's back up here for your plan?
Speaker 2: That wasn't critical, but you know, that's a little insurance
Speaker 2: in case something goes out there. But to be honest,
Speaker 2: if McCaffrey goes out, like Grenda's not going to step
Speaker 2: in and he's not gonna be McCaffrey, but it probably
Speaker 2: keeps me in the mix. So again, it's a confined league,
Speaker 2: So handcuffing your guy in this situation. I mean, after
Speaker 2: I've already got Warren at Tracy, so just at this spot,
Speaker 2: that's that seems like a reasonable spot, reasonable pick to make.
Speaker 1: I say it all the time. Fantasymojo dot com is
Speaker 1: your go to for all things FFPC data. Make sure
Speaker 1: you are subscribing and working your way to a pair
Speaker 1: of million dollar grand prizes with the help of one
Speaker 1: Darren ARMANI connect with them on x at Fantasy Mojo
Speaker 1: Fantasymojo dot com. Darren, thank you so much for all
Speaker 1: your hard work on the pros Versus Joe's Challenge. Again,
Speaker 1: I know what a bear it is to put together
Speaker 1: every single year, you know, getting all these joes together,
Speaker 1: getting all the pros together, getting everybody situated in all
Speaker 1: seven drafts. Kudos to you, my friend, a job well done.
Speaker 1: Again in twenty twenty five. Enjoy the rest of the draft,
Speaker 1: and we will see you in Louisville and Las Vegas.
Speaker 10: Right, yep, we'll be both spots this year.
Speaker 1: Perfect, excellent, Darren, be good. We'll talk about you again
Speaker 1: soon later on. Yeah, that is Darren armani Fantasy Mojo
Speaker 1: dot Com at Fantasy Mojo on X. Certainly always fun
Speaker 1: to talk to that guy, and we'll be talking to
Speaker 1: him more in Louisville coming up in a few weeks.
Speaker 1: So he makes corendo the eleven oh six pick tonight,
Speaker 1: Rashad White goes off the board to Scott Schoenwolf after
Speaker 1: that at the eleven oh seven, and Darnell Mooney Farrell
Speaker 1: to Michael Nazarek as his number four receiver.
Speaker 5: Here.
Speaker 1: What do you make of Mooney falling to the eleventh round?
Speaker 1: Maybe I asked you about this already, So Turp, I
Speaker 1: want you to weigh in. After Farrell's done. Mooney with
Speaker 1: the injury right now expected to knock him out. I
Speaker 1: believe most of camp somebody can correct me on that
Speaker 1: if that's not accurate. But Mooney's a bit of a
Speaker 1: wild card here, knowing that you know we won't exactly
Speaker 1: see him getting these valuable reps with Michael Pennox here,
Speaker 1: I still like Mooney. I'm still on him and I'm
Speaker 1: buying the dip here Ferrell, are you doing the same? Yes,
Speaker 1: a solid speed veteran wide receiver. Now I like it
Speaker 1: even better and.
Speaker 6: Mooney Michael Pennix is about as far as you can
Speaker 6: get from a timing passer, so it doesn't really matter
Speaker 6: that they're missing time. Mooney's ability to get open, make
Speaker 6: the good catch. He's wonderful around the sidelines, he knows
Speaker 6: how to settle. I like everything about Darnell Mooney as
Speaker 6: a receiver. He's been plagued by situational quarterbacks that haven't
Speaker 6: been able to take advantage of his skill set. Now
Speaker 6: he's plagued a little bit by an injury. But in
Speaker 6: the eleventh round he's almost as good as pit in
Speaker 6: the ninth.
Speaker 1: I want to get Terp's opinion on this, and I
Speaker 1: want to get to our next guest here, are you
Speaker 1: also buying the value on Darnaul Mooney right now?
Speaker 5: Buy?
Speaker 4: The dip with Mooney right now makes a ton of sense.
Speaker 4: There's nobody there really challenging getting targets is Drake London.
Speaker 4: Even with the Mooney news, you don't see Kyle Pitts
Speaker 4: rising in the drafts. So if that they'll tell you anything.
Speaker 4: People just hate Pits. They won't draft him. They're not
Speaker 4: believing any of this hype. So Mooney, you're getting that,
Speaker 4: you're getting a discount. He should be ready by the
Speaker 4: first week of the season. If for whatever reason he's not,
Speaker 4: it's it shouldn't be a long type of injury, so
Speaker 4: he should be back by week two three at the latest.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm buying a tip. He's definitely a guy
Speaker 4: that I would like to get at a value in store.
Speaker 1: Our next guest just made a pick here at the
Speaker 1: at the twelve spot, and we'll bring him on right
Speaker 1: now to tell us all about it. He is a
Speaker 1: former FSWA Football Writer of the Year finalist. You read
Speaker 1: all of his work and check out all of his
Speaker 1: works at rodewire dot com. You listen to him on
Speaker 1: Serious Sex Fantasy Sports Radio, a former winner of the
Speaker 1: Kings Classic Fantasy Football League as well. You follow him
Speaker 1: on Exit Jim Coventry, NFL. Please welcome on to the program,
Speaker 1: mister Jim Coventry. Jim, good evening man. How are you doing.
Speaker 8: Great to see everyone.
Speaker 9: Always good to be a part of this pros versus
Speaker 9: Joe's the twelve spot?
Speaker 1: I think I can't remember. Somebody said earlier that the
Speaker 1: right side of the board has been a lot more
Speaker 1: fun to draft from this year. Was that sort of
Speaker 1: your analysis too? Were you excited when you found out
Speaker 1: you had the twelve spot tonight?
Speaker 8: Yeah? I like the twelve spot.
Speaker 7: There has his own challenges, but they all all the
Speaker 7: spots do.
Speaker 9: But I do like the fact if I want to
Speaker 9: just be ahead of a run, I can kind of
Speaker 9: dictate that certain players and positions want to attack. I
Speaker 9: felt more comfortable waiting on my quarterback and tight end,
Speaker 9: knowing at the end to kind of dictate where I
Speaker 9: wanted to grab those players kind of get getting a
Speaker 9: feel for where they go as it was, so, I
Speaker 9: think it was helpful.
Speaker 1: A get your guys' situation. You did that in the
Speaker 1: first two rounds Derek Henry and adp. According to Fantasy Mojo,
Speaker 1: in the FFPC Best Ball Tournament at two oh four,
Speaker 1: you grab him at one twelve. Josh Jacobs normally going
Speaker 1: at the three to zho one, you grab him at
Speaker 1: the two to oh one tonight, Jim. It was just, uh,
Speaker 1: it was a couple of yolo picks. Here. You are
Speaker 1: getting your guys right away and you don't care tell
Speaker 1: us about the thought process between the first turn of
Speaker 1: Henry and Jacobs for you.
Speaker 9: If my theory's right, it's gonna help me and people
Speaker 9: who follow this advice very much in fantasy leagues.
Speaker 8: And here's the thing.
Speaker 9: People are talking about running backs and last year it
Speaker 9: was an anomaly that nobody got hurt. Well, I don't
Speaker 9: think so, and I know Eric, you and I talked
Speaker 9: about about everybody to hear this.
Speaker 7: So the base in the NFL is the four through five.
Speaker 9: Now there's basically two linebackers on the field, not three
Speaker 9: and four anymore.
Speaker 5: Very rare.
Speaker 9: And what's happening is NFL teams are starting to say,
Speaker 9: all right, you're giving us the run, so we're taking
Speaker 9: the rom. But here's the other thing. The linebackers are
Speaker 9: lighter than they weigh about average of two thirty. The
Speaker 9: two linebackers are on the field, so you don't have
Speaker 9: thumpers hitting anymore. But also, if you only have four
Speaker 9: down linemen to two linebackers, you got five offensive lineman
Speaker 9: and a tight end. You got six hats to put
Speaker 9: on six people. These running backs aren't taking kill shots.
Speaker 9: So my thought is these running backs are to have
Speaker 9: more space than ever, They're gonna get hit less hard
Speaker 9: than ever, and I think these running backs are doing right.
Speaker 9: So taking Henry and Jacobs, I wanted running backs and
Speaker 9: I couldn't take a Chanks. I think you got to
Speaker 9: buy into two of Tongo bay Loa. If you buy
Speaker 9: into him, and the games that eight Chan had played
Speaker 9: without Tua, he averaged nine point seven PPR points.
Speaker 7: No six games, you can't. They can't deal with that.
Speaker 9: And Bucky Erring don't trust it happen a second year.
Speaker 9: So these are my two running backs. Hey rate his highest,
Speaker 9: So it was kind of yolo, get your guy. But
Speaker 9: I was not walking out without two running backs early
Speaker 9: because I think they're gonna be durable.
Speaker 1: And that's the thing too. You mentioned that the only
Speaker 1: other two running backs to go in the second round
Speaker 1: where a Chan and Irving. You already explained why you
Speaker 1: were avoiding them, and then we didn't see any more
Speaker 1: running backs going until the third round. Speaking of the
Speaker 1: third round, you get Davante Adams with the final pick
Speaker 1: of the third round. Are people sleeping on Adams? You know,
Speaker 1: everybody in and their mother likes to take Puka Nakua,
Speaker 1: you know, either in the first round or the early
Speaker 1: second round. But we forget about how good Davante Adams
Speaker 1: has been over the course of his career with multiple quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: Are people sleeping on Adams A little bit? Clearly you
Speaker 1: might think so since you drafted him as your number
Speaker 1: one receiver.
Speaker 9: Tonight, Jeff, I do and again because they took the
Speaker 9: two running back early. You know who's left on the
Speaker 9: board Adams at that point, it's Harrison mclauren, Mike Evans.
Speaker 9: I think DJ Moore ahead of time. But Adams, Look,
Speaker 9: he hasn't lost anything. We saw in the last six
Speaker 9: games last year. He everage ninety character the tock down
Speaker 9: he was trying down this drive. So in Las Vegas
Speaker 9: the first part of last season, before that hamstring injury
Speaker 9: in the year prior, quarterback play was bad. So what
Speaker 9: you're gonna see in Los Angeles is pretty easy. We
Speaker 9: remember different players. But Odell Beckham at twenty twenty one. Well,
Speaker 9: you saw Sean McVay say I'm gonna use this guy
Speaker 9: for what he is, and that's with Adams. Adams is
Speaker 9: Runzo's choice round and Matthew staffords On's his back holds up.
Speaker 9: Of course, those are gonna be money all day. Love
Speaker 9: Nickleo is still gonna get plenty, but it's gonna be
Speaker 9: a real narrow target share because McVeigh did not tell
Speaker 9: the franchise to go after Adams if he did not
Speaker 9: have plans to feature both of those receivers.
Speaker 5: I love this draft, Jill.
Speaker 6: I definitely would have would have taken Henry and Jacob's
Speaker 6: there and done it exactly in the way you've done
Speaker 6: it now, Balky.
Speaker 5: Do you have all of Jim's contact information?
Speaker 1: The best way to get a hold of Jim y
Speaker 1: is to go to X and connect with them there
Speaker 1: at Jim Coventry NFL.
Speaker 6: I wanted to get him a little closer because I
Speaker 6: wanted to share a phone number or some more personal
Speaker 6: information with some linebackers I know in the NFL. They
Speaker 6: would like to talk to you out of some of
Speaker 6: your observations. However, I will say that in the way
Speaker 6: you may definitely be right, But if you go back
Speaker 6: a few years, you'll find that not all those linebackers
Speaker 6: are running in the four or fives like they are
Speaker 6: runny now. But hey, you know, you and I can
Speaker 6: agree to this. None of are tackling Derrick Henry. There's
Speaker 6: gonna have to be at least two to tackle Derek Henry,
Speaker 6: and some of them, you know, are just looking the
Speaker 6: other way.
Speaker 5: They're still, you know, in coverage laces on your team.
Speaker 5: I love it. I love your I love your Dallas
Speaker 5: Cowboy quarterback and tight ends.
Speaker 8: Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just saying, nice of Gymnastics getting that
Speaker 1: done there with Prescott and Ferguson. How good is Justin
Speaker 1: Field's going to be your number two quarterback on this
Speaker 1: squad here?
Speaker 9: Jim, you know obviously best ball league. So you want
Speaker 9: the spikes. Justin Fields twenty twenty two runs for eleven
Speaker 9: hundred and forty three yards. Lamar Jackson can't do that now.
Speaker 9: The year after he missed four games, Fields and he
Speaker 9: ran for an extrapolated eight hundred yards. With you know,
Speaker 9: full season, he'll miss time. I get they'll probably get
Speaker 9: nicked up. But last year he wasn't asked to run
Speaker 9: those few games in Pittsburgh, and I already it seems
Speaker 9: to writing on the wall. The Jets are gonna weaponize him,
Speaker 9: They're not gonna not run with him, and so I
Speaker 9: think that's a huge deal. And that running court. You
Speaker 9: guys all know this, every buddy out there drafting. It's
Speaker 9: a cheat code and fantasy football. But he's my number
Speaker 9: two quarterback, and so it's beautiful Dak Prescott. Look, he
Speaker 9: gets hurt, but the three healthy seasons in his prior
Speaker 9: resume quarterback two, quarterback three, and quarterback seven.
Speaker 8: Not too many quarterbacks have that resume, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, you're absolutely right, and it makes perfect sense there,
Speaker 1: especially if you consider that he's your number two quarterback.
Speaker 1: You already have that nice little ceiling there with Eric,
Speaker 1: a nice little flour there with Dak Prescott to go
Speaker 1: with fields. I want to talk about Cedric Tilman here,
Speaker 1: a player that we have not talked about a lot
Speaker 1: on this show. Is he actually and I don't want
Speaker 1: to put words in your mouth here, Jerry Judy goes
Speaker 1: to Darren RMANI tonight in the seventh round, you get
Speaker 1: Tilman in the eleventh And I've heard some pundits out
Speaker 1: there tell me that Tilden is actually gonna be the
Speaker 1: biggest threat on the Browns roster as far as receiver
Speaker 1: goes like he could be their number one receiver there
Speaker 1: this year. Do you see a path where that happens
Speaker 1: or are you just drafting Tilman as a high upside
Speaker 1: number two.
Speaker 9: I think they both will see a lot of work.
Speaker 9: I think Cleveland's defense is not as good as people think.
Speaker 9: And I love Cleveland the last few years. I love
Speaker 9: the personnel, loved Schwartz calling the defense, but outside of
Speaker 9: Miles Garrett, I'm not convinced that the rest of the
Speaker 9: pass rush, so it just lost Martin Emerson.
Speaker 7: Today.
Speaker 9: All three of those corners have name brand, but all
Speaker 9: three have declined in the last three years.
Speaker 8: So they're gonna score.
Speaker 9: And I know the quarterback room, we don't know what
Speaker 9: it is. I hope Flacco plays, but I think you're
Speaker 9: gonna see Judy doing loud the underneath work. And I
Speaker 9: think Tilman is an intermediate and downfield and I think
Speaker 9: that's ultimately more valuable. Tillman is a beast after the catch,
Speaker 9: and I think that's where he's bringing the feast.
Speaker 8: The two separate roles, but I think they're both involved.
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb, is that just like sort of like, let's
Speaker 1: see what happens play with Mixing being down right now?
Speaker 1: Or does Chubb do you think have some success this
Speaker 1: year even if Mixon is healthy to start the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five season.
Speaker 9: Jim, you know, I really like Nick Chubb because before
Speaker 9: he came to the NFL, he tore up that knee
Speaker 9: catastrophic injury, came back good as new, obviously a great career. Well,
Speaker 9: now what we have is he I believe Chubb. He
Speaker 9: said he was never gonna be healthy last year, never,
Speaker 9: not after that injury second game of twenty twenty three.
Speaker 9: So what we have happened there is Nick Chubb says
Speaker 9: I can squat what I used to squat. He goes,
Speaker 9: my agility is back to where it was, and then
Speaker 9: he also follows that up by saying my speed is
Speaker 9: back to pre injury form. I believe him. He's twenty nine.
Speaker 9: There's not a lot of tread on the tires. I
Speaker 9: thought before Mixon got hurt that I thought that he
Speaker 9: could easily overtake Mixon because Mixon was less than a
Speaker 9: twenty third percentile in broken tack with right yards after
Speaker 9: countt he was already an inefficient back. It wasn't going
Speaker 9: to take much, I think to push him. And now
Speaker 9: with Mixon missing most of camp and I know what
Speaker 9: he marks will get involved in the passing game a bit.
Speaker 9: But if Nick Chubb is even eighty percent of what
Speaker 9: he was, Nick Chubb was like Hall of Flame level
Speaker 9: type court running back before. If he's even eighty percent,
Speaker 9: he is going to be just fine.
Speaker 1: And here's how you know Jim Coventry is a pro.
Speaker 1: He gave you that entire answer while making not one
Speaker 1: but two picks.
Speaker 4: You can't teach that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you cannot teach that. That is just said. That
Speaker 1: is inborn Christian Kirk in the thirteenth, Marvin Mims in
Speaker 1: the fourteenth. Here, I'll let you wax poetic on these
Speaker 1: two selections that you just made.
Speaker 5: Jim.
Speaker 9: You know again wide receivers. He just wants him depth.
Speaker 9: It's a best ball league and needs some points. Kirk
Speaker 9: is probably winning that slotch up. I don't think jayalen
Speaker 9: Nole is really going to push him for that last
Speaker 9: year of the deal they traded for when Houston acquired
Speaker 9: him from Jacksonville. And you already know that c j
Speaker 9: Stroud last year with Stefan Diggs. Stig's on a thousand
Speaker 9: yard pace running the slot and at this stage Kirk's healthy. Now,
Speaker 9: I assume he'll have a good floor with a few
Speaker 9: spike weeks, which will help from those weeks where if
Speaker 9: somebody had a buyer or somebody hurt Marvin Mims what
Speaker 9: I like you saw it from maybe week eleven on
Speaker 9: last year. It was four to five targets a game,
Speaker 9: but it was bubble screams and bombs, and he is
Speaker 9: perfect on those because Peyton's schemes goes up really well.
Speaker 9: So Mims gets running in space and you saw him
Speaker 9: take plays very long businances you saw him win deep.
Speaker 9: So he doesn't need a lot of targets. But he's
Speaker 9: like a perfect best ball target because he's not gonna
Speaker 9: get one hundred and ten targets. He's a get seventy
Speaker 9: five to eighty five targets, but those targets with the
Speaker 9: big plays, I could maybe get four useful weeks out
Speaker 9: of him and in the fourteenth round.
Speaker 8: To me, that's worth it.
Speaker 5: Jim.
Speaker 1: We are anxiously awaiting. We are what less than three
Speaker 1: weeks away before your annual roto Wire Fantasy Football Marathon,
Speaker 1: which will be held Monday, August eighteenth, starting bright and
Speaker 1: early in the morning, go all the way through to
Speaker 1: late afternoon. And that is that's gonna be on YouTube
Speaker 1: right that we can watch.
Speaker 9: That, Yes, Rota Wire YouTube. I'll definitely tag yourself. Anybody
Speaker 9: who's on the show will be tagged so they can
Speaker 9: promote the link back out. But yeah, each analyst, thirty
Speaker 9: two analyst, thirty two teams will get everybody to give
Speaker 9: a breakdown of the one team each for fantasy.
Speaker 8: It's gonna be a blast.
Speaker 1: It always is. I'm excited to hang out with you
Speaker 1: and talk to New Orleans Saints football, which is I
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna pick my packers, but our good friend Stacy
Speaker 1: Perez beat me to the punch on that one. She'll
Speaker 1: be talking Green Bay. That's okay, But Jim, that's not
Speaker 1: all you're doing. You're churning out a ton of great
Speaker 1: content for Road of Wear. What can viewers, what can
Speaker 1: readers expect to see from you over these next couple
Speaker 1: of weeks.
Speaker 9: Yeah, on the X at Jim Covertry NFL, A stat
Speaker 9: of the day, a thread of the day. Always repost
Speaker 9: my videos there I have a face for radio, but sorry,
Speaker 9: I have to be on the video sometimes I really
Speaker 9: can't help that. And yeah, so otherwise that's where you
Speaker 9: get my material road wire dot com. Look, the only
Speaker 9: my written articles are behind a paywall, but if you
Speaker 9: want a subscription, they get fifteen percent off YouTube fifteen
Speaker 9: is to code at roadewire dot com.
Speaker 8: That's where to catch myself. They serious XM two serious XM.
Speaker 1: Sorry on the Wayeah, when are you on serious?

Speaker 1: are always shining when we listen and watch and read
Speaker 1: Jim Coventry's content. Check it out at Jim Coventry NFL
Speaker 1: rodowire dot com, and don't forget about the roder Wire
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Marathon coming up Monday, August eighteenth as well. Jim,
Speaker 1: enjoy the rest of the draft. Keep up all the
Speaker 1: great work, man, We'll do this again real soon.
Speaker 8: Love your guys work. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: You got it, Jim Coventry, I wrote from Rota Wire.
Speaker 1: Always good to have him on for sure. And we
Speaker 1: do have another guest waiting in the green room. But
Speaker 1: before we get to him, I do want to talk
Speaker 1: about Theogreminger's team here real quick, terp. He has added
Speaker 1: Tyler Warren and Isaiah likely to Evan Ingram. So likely
Speaker 1: even though he goes down today, THEO is buying the
Speaker 1: dip and I would imagine that. I mean, you've done
Speaker 1: a ton of podcasts, You've done drafted a lot with
Speaker 1: THEO over the years, sharing teams with him. This is
Speaker 1: a player, a drafter I should say that likes buying
Speaker 1: depressed assets and likely is only going to go up
Speaker 1: from here. I would think.
Speaker 4: One hundred percent. I mean likely is you know, obviously
Speaker 4: with the news that came out today, you know people
Speaker 4: are worried, like is it going to be is it
Speaker 4: gonna be an injury into the season, But in this
Speaker 4: type of format he is probably one of the best
Speaker 4: handcuffs and fantasy football all positions. I mean, if something
Speaker 4: happens to Mark Andrews, you saw last year early the
Speaker 4: season with Likely and obviously when Andrews was banged up,
Speaker 4: the potential that could be there is top five tight end,
Speaker 4: top three tight end potential if there was no Mark Andrews.
Speaker 4: So he's getting a depressed value with with the value here,
Speaker 4: so I'm all bored. I'm thinking shots like this. It's
Speaker 4: a good time if you're a likely fan to buy
Speaker 4: in and get some drafts done, because you're getting him
Speaker 4: in a real, real nice price to where it's not
Speaker 4: hurting you in any way, whether it's best ball or
Speaker 4: whether it's manager because he was starting to move, you know,
Speaker 4: gradually up draft boards with a little bit of hype.
Speaker 4: But now he's going to start falling because everybodys scared
Speaker 4: of injury. So it's a good time to buy Likely,
Speaker 4: and that's exactly what Theater did.
Speaker 1: Farrell Scott Schoenwolf's team at the seventh spot did not
Speaker 1: draft a tight end until round ten. He gets a
Speaker 1: rookie and Colston Loveland there, it does not draft another
Speaker 1: tight end until round fourteen. He gets another rookie in
Speaker 1: Mason Taylor. There for a format like this where you
Speaker 1: want to take first, although you wouldn't be ashamed to
Speaker 1: take second and get a brand new pair of socks
Speaker 1: or Farrell Elliott. But with a team like this Loveland
Speaker 1: and Taylor, does he need to push a veteran onto
Speaker 1: the squad just to get some sort of baseline or
Speaker 1: do you like the whole Hey, look at the upside
Speaker 1: of Loveland, look at the ceiling of Mason Taylor here?
Speaker 1: Would you continue down that path of drafting war upside
Speaker 1: players at tight end for his squad? Specifically?
Speaker 6: I think he needs to get a standy eddie and
Speaker 6: I don't know if he can say the situation. Rookie
Speaker 6: tight ends are hard selling for me, especially in the
Speaker 6: way the game is going and the way the tight
Speaker 6: end is being used now. And we talked about Loveland
Speaker 6: in the mix of tight ends at that.
Speaker 5: Position at his team.
Speaker 6: No, I think he's in a little bit of trouble
Speaker 6: and I'd like to see how he gets out of it.
Speaker 5: He maybe doesn't think that, but you know, it's.
Speaker 6: Our tidy and premium league, and premium at one point
Speaker 6: five means a lot.
Speaker 1: Here the next guest, we have to bring up ladies
Speaker 1: and gentlemen. We just we talked earlier with a former
Speaker 1: Kings Classic champion in twenty twenty one or twenty two,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Well, the guy won it in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Is this player right here? You've checked out his work
Speaker 1: at Fantasy Football Today. Of course, he's also contributed to
Speaker 1: Fantasy Points as well. A guy who has had no
Speaker 1: losing seasons in two and a half decades in high
Speaker 1: stakes fantasy football. You follow him on the ex at
Speaker 1: doug Orth. We welcome him back onto the show, mister
Speaker 1: doug Orth. Doug welcome in man. How's it going tonight?
Speaker 5: Well, thank you very much. How are you doing that?
Speaker 1: We're doing excellent?
Speaker 8: Dude.
Speaker 1: You were drafting from the ten spot tonight. And I
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, if YouTube decided this league, you would
Speaker 1: already have wanted this pre main event to the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six FFPC at this main event entry into the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty sixth version of the f FPC main event.
Speaker 1: Everybody loves your team, man, Do you love it as
Speaker 1: much as everybody else? Because sometimes I know, like, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, you you have that self deprecating look at
Speaker 1: your squad, like well, yeah, I mean I like this
Speaker 1: player here, but at the same time, I probably could
Speaker 1: have done something different.
Speaker 5: Here.
Speaker 1: How are you feeling about your squad from the ten
Speaker 1: spots that I took?
Speaker 11: Well, I want girls, I wants turps blessing if I
Speaker 11: if I have both of their blessings that I didn't,
Speaker 11: that's that's almost worth as much as the chance.
Speaker 4: I'll make a statement right now, you're my favorite to
Speaker 4: win the whole thing. That's awesome.
Speaker 1: There you go, there, you go ahead, And now, weren't
Speaker 1: you right two years ago?
Speaker 4: You were right out there was two years ago I
Speaker 4: said the Goat district guys in the Goat District won,
Speaker 4: and they did win. Last year, I believe I said
Speaker 4: Billy Mutt Muzio would win, and I don't believe he
Speaker 4: got it done. But this year, I'm pretty confident. This
Speaker 4: is a very very well drafted team.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you had the daily Doubley Churchill dance Turp in
Speaker 6: twenty thirteen.
Speaker 5: It was great man.
Speaker 4: Hopefully hopefully you can retire off that one.
Speaker 6: The Yeah, I love this team, in love with you're doing.
Speaker 6: You're an excellent player and every every player that you've
Speaker 6: chosen would be a guy that I would target. Do
Speaker 6: you see these players? Are are they in your playing?
Speaker 6: Are they falling to you or you know, how'd you
Speaker 6: do this?
Speaker 11: Well, I'll tell you I wasn't. I think through at
Speaker 11: least the first six picks. I I'm just I'm just
Speaker 11: looking at it here real quick. I think I picked
Speaker 11: within my first verse forty one over the first six
Speaker 11: picks something like that.
Speaker 1: Well, so let let's let's here, here's what we'll do.
Speaker 1: I want you, I want you to get into that.
Speaker 1: Let's let's talk us through your pick here. Because you're
Speaker 1: on the clock in the fifteenth round. You tell us
Speaker 1: you just up Gray Davis and Will Shipley in the
Speaker 1: last two rounds. What are you doing here in the
Speaker 1: fifteenth As.
Speaker 11: You guys can pretty much tell at this point, I'm
Speaker 11: just taking upside swings at running back, contenent upside swings
Speaker 11: at running back. And that's probably going to be maybe
Speaker 11: not the rest of my draft. But I have what
Speaker 11: picks left, I would imagine at least three, and we're
Speaker 11: gonna be contingent upside running backs, and this will be
Speaker 11: one guy here, go ahead and.
Speaker 5: Make the thick.
Speaker 1: DJ is back up to Jonathan Taylor in Indianapolis.
Speaker 5: So this is the guy. Of course, I liked it.
Speaker 11: In the draft process, we're hearing the positive positive awards
Speaker 11: got him out of camp too. But more than anything,
Speaker 11: you're you're looking at somebody. This is somebody who acquired
Speaker 11: a couple of shares of Jonathan Taylor in Dynasty. I
Speaker 11: want Jonathan Taylor state healthy, but as we all know,
Speaker 11: he hasn't made it through the full season the last
Speaker 11: three years. And at this point in the draft, if
Speaker 11: I can get two or three weeks of RB started
Speaker 11: quality time from him, and that's that's a great guy
Speaker 11: in the fifteen grown.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think the contingent upside with running backs plays really well,
Speaker 1: not only for this point of the draft, but the
Speaker 1: way you built this team early on Doug, where you
Speaker 1: know you get Hampton and Walker is sort of like
Speaker 1: you're your mainstays and your foundations, and now you have
Speaker 1: Stevenson on the squad. I think Scott Hoyt brought up
Speaker 1: in the chat that Mike Grabil hasn't exactly played a
Speaker 1: ton of rookies. So you have Stevenson there, you get
Speaker 1: Ray Davis, will Shipley obviously behind James Cook and Saquon
Speaker 1: Barkley respectively. Now Gidding's behind Jonathan Taylor. Are you gonna
Speaker 1: go back to the well here in the sixteenth.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I have to.
Speaker 11: I mean, it's the choice between a QB three here,
Speaker 11: and I'll probably come back and get a QB three
Speaker 11: here shortly, but this is I'm gonna go with Justice
Speaker 11: Hill here, and we saw what he did with the
Speaker 11: occasions last year. This being basketball, I don't have to
Speaker 11: worry about when his thirty yard receiving touchdowns.
Speaker 5: Going to come into play again.
Speaker 11: I'm just looking get one or two weeks out out
Speaker 11: of some of my running backs at this point.
Speaker 1: Justice Hill, the running back for the Baltimore Ravens, goes
Speaker 1: to Doug or squad at the sixteen oh three as
Speaker 1: running back sixty two tonight. Okay, Doug, we have your
Speaker 1: entire team on display for everybody on YouTube here from
Speaker 1: the ten spot, tell us when you knew you had
Speaker 1: the whole what your strategy was, and how well you
Speaker 1: executed said strategy. Tonight from that time.
Speaker 11: Spot, well, I mean I watched each of the first
Speaker 11: five shows they had here, and I thought there was
Speaker 11: a better than fifty percent chance and McCaffrey's going to
Speaker 11: fall fall to me. That was kind of the thinking.
Speaker 11: But if thefcaffrey didn't fall to me, I thought McBride
Speaker 11: probably would. At that point, I thought I'd probably going
Speaker 11: running back in the second round if I took McBride. However,
Speaker 11: I was not expecting my choice of a Monroe Saint
Speaker 11: Brown puking Mkula and Brian Thomas could be in there
Speaker 11: to follow my lap there So, and then again at
Speaker 11: that point, now I'm looking at I want to start
Speaker 11: banging running backs and two of my favorites, and I
Speaker 11: know they're going to be two of my favorites this
Speaker 11: draft season. I love Amaro Hampton, especially with this situation
Speaker 11: right now, and even if it ends up being maybe
Speaker 11: he's a maybe only is the feature back weeks one
Speaker 11: through four or something like that, the Naja Harris come
Speaker 11: in and gets his forty percent split or whatever. But
Speaker 11: I'm not sure that that's I'm not sure that's gonna happen.
Speaker 11: I mean, Paris may not, may not participate in camp
Speaker 11: the ball. Okay, what what does Mike Tomlin like to
Speaker 11: say about he said that about rowand Wilson about trying
Speaker 11: to jump on a moving bucks. Yeah, if Omarion Anthon's
Speaker 11: already rolling, why are we changing things?
Speaker 8: So?
Speaker 11: And then lastly with Kenneth Walker, and I'll just I'll
Speaker 11: stop with McMillan. Actually, Kenneth Walker the moon to the
Speaker 11: outside zone, which is a perfect fit for his skill set.
Speaker 11: And so I'm just at this point, I'm just praying
Speaker 11: that he stays healthy because I think he has forty
Speaker 11: plus catch upside. Plus he's now the perfect scheme for
Speaker 11: his Russian calluns. And then finally, Detoro McMillan, I have him.
Speaker 11: I have to look at my projections. It's I believe
Speaker 11: the top fifteen season receiver is very much in cards room.
Speaker 1: I think that the squad you have put together here
Speaker 1: and your explanation of the squad is very strong. The
Speaker 1: only remaining question I would have here is we have
Speaker 1: four picks left. We have thirty one tight ends off
Speaker 1: the board, and you only have one of them. What
Speaker 1: is your plan for addressing the purple stickers virtual stickers
Speaker 1: on the board yet tonight.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a great question.
Speaker 5: This is not what I was hoping like.
Speaker 11: I think pretty much everybody in the fifteen sixteenth round
Speaker 11: was open to Loja Roil would stay around for their pick.
Speaker 11: That was kind of my that was my open dream there.
Speaker 11: I mean, I'm looking at of the available tight ends,
Speaker 11: I'd say I see two or three upside swings here.
Speaker 11: Every team's going to have a weakness coming out of
Speaker 11: this draft, and I'm okay, Big Brian's probably gonna be
Speaker 11: my starter, what thirteen weeks out of the season anyway,
Speaker 11: so hopefully, hopefully more than that, there be a couple
Speaker 11: more offside swings. Maybe I don't mind saying it, maybe
Speaker 11: like a Terrence Ferguson or one of those rookie guys.
Speaker 11: It's not home targeting.
Speaker 1: But that's that's yeah, Well we know, we know, we
Speaker 1: got it.
Speaker 5: Doug.
Speaker 1: You still working at f F today, cranking out great
Speaker 1: content there and Fantasy points. Is this a new addition
Speaker 1: to your resume as well?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Fantasy Points I started last year.
Speaker 11: Actually, the new addition to my resume is when I
Speaker 11: don't have I haven't posted on Twitter yet or anything,
Speaker 11: and that's I am now the lead editor at the Hubble.
Speaker 1: Oh nice, very cool, excellent work, my friend, very cool.
Speaker 11: So anyway, the you guys know Corey Benini, right, Yes,
Speaker 11: you're familiar with them. Okay, that's who I'm replacing there.
Speaker 11: He left for another a good opportunity, and so I'm
Speaker 11: the next line hoping to uh fill his big shoes.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you'll do that, no question, Doug. And I'm
Speaker 1: so glad that you hopped board tonight to make a
Speaker 1: couple of picks on air. We'll see what you do
Speaker 1: with the tight end position the rest of the way.
Speaker 1: You got four picks, and I think if you if
Speaker 1: you slam two tight ends here, I think you're in
Speaker 1: really good shape given the wide receiver cash that you
Speaker 1: have built, as well as the running back room that
Speaker 1: you that has quickly come together here over the last
Speaker 1: six rounds too. So congratulations on a great squad night.
Speaker 1: Everybody seems to love it. Of course, that's the kiss
Speaker 1: of death. It means it will not compete this year,
Speaker 1: but but you have three fans of it here and
Speaker 1: plenty more watching on YouTube. Congratulations. We will continue to
Speaker 1: follow you and connect with you on the x at
Speaker 1: Doug Orth. Keep up the great work, my friend. Don't
Speaker 1: be a stranger. Let's talk against you, all right, appreciate it, guys,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Doug. That is Doug Or.
Speaker 5: I don't want to balky. I don't want to put
Speaker 5: words in Turp's mouth, but I will anyway. Uh.
Speaker 6: Based on the fact that Andrews has one foot in
Speaker 6: the grave with Turp and now likely it's hurt.
Speaker 5: I think we can just start.
Speaker 6: I think we can see Charlie Kohlar move up the
Speaker 6: boards anytime soon.
Speaker 4: Don't think I get crazy here.
Speaker 6: The suit's going to get drafted here, you know, because
Speaker 6: you know Andrews is through.
Speaker 4: I would bet Charlie Curler hasn't been direfted in a
Speaker 4: single lead yet and it's probably not gonna change.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 5: I had a. I had a.
Speaker 6: I was really really beating the drum for to to
Speaker 6: that well last night.
Speaker 5: We can't get him drafted.
Speaker 1: I don't the problem. Okay. So I was in a
Speaker 1: Kentucky beast Ball today on the clock in the twenty
Speaker 1: seventh round, and I was looking for upside and I
Speaker 1: did find it in Los Angeles, but it wasn't at Well.
Speaker 1: I went with Jordan Wittington Farrell because I just feel
Speaker 1: like in order for either one of those guys to
Speaker 1: have an impact this year, either Nicoa or Adams were
Speaker 1: going to where to Go would have to go down.
Speaker 1: And I think Winnington steps into either one of those
Speaker 1: roles a little bit better than Atwell would, so at
Speaker 1: Well for me, as like my number four receiver that
Speaker 1: I drafted the Rams.
Speaker 6: You just brought up something last night about following the money,
Speaker 6: and that's what I was doing.
Speaker 1: Well because they gave him ten million this year.
Speaker 5: Something's closer to eleven.
Speaker 1: Oh maybe it was eleven. I don't even know. I
Speaker 1: can tell you to Turp's point. In the last thirty days,
Speaker 1: according to Fantasy mojo dot com that even in twenty
Speaker 1: eight round Best Ball leagues, Charlie Koehler has been undrafted.
Speaker 6: And you know, if you were in this league, you
Speaker 6: could be a first It's.
Speaker 5: Colar for you.
Speaker 4: I mean, if you can give me first I've wasted
Speaker 4: twentieth round draft picks on a lot of players. Maybe
Speaker 4: I'll take twentieth round Christian Watson this year. You can
Speaker 4: give me a legit twentieth round pick to take, bro
Speaker 4: will do it.
Speaker 5: Your logic, I would likely a color.
Speaker 4: Next week, I'm going to be doing a Best Ball
Speaker 4: online me and me Aiden's gonna be doing most of
Speaker 4: the thing, and I'm want to be drafting. We're gonna
Speaker 4: have some fun and if you give me a good
Speaker 4: twentieth round draft pick, I'll take them live on stream.
Speaker 4: Here for you, just for you, Pharaoh Elliott pick and
Speaker 4: you know whoever you want, you want me to take
Speaker 4: Charlie Cohler, No, I really consider free, but I just yeah,
Speaker 4: uh Rico Dowdell.
Speaker 1: Guys just got selected by John Paulson squad John Paulson
Speaker 1: of course from four for four dot com. He is
Speaker 1: the backup we think to Chewba Hubbard in Carolina. Dave
Speaker 1: Canalis was just talking about this the other day that
Speaker 1: when he was asked about Dowdell's role, he said, it's
Speaker 1: it's gonna keep the offensive consistency going. When Hubbard needs
Speaker 1: a break, that Dowdell can come in, catch the ball,
Speaker 1: run the ball that they need to. What do you
Speaker 1: guys make of Dowdell. Is he just an injury away
Speaker 1: type guy or does he have some standalone value because
Speaker 1: Hubbard can't touch the ball every single play, or be
Speaker 1: at least out there for every single Carolina play this year.
Speaker 4: I think he has a standard every value. I think
Speaker 4: he's a guy that you know, where he's being drafted,
Speaker 4: I feel like he should be going a little bit higher.
Speaker 4: I like him. I mean that's not saying that's not
Speaker 4: any downgrade at all to Hubbard, but I really really
Speaker 4: do like that always being drafted. He's a he's a
Speaker 4: one injury away guy that could be a RB two
Speaker 4: that could be really really valuable on teams like like
Speaker 4: who was just on that was talking about upside Doug
Speaker 4: for a perfect example, You're taking all these running backs
Speaker 4: with upside that could be the guy if everything goes right.
Speaker 4: He took Davis, he took Chipley, he took Kittens, he
Speaker 4: took Justice Hill. In some regard, I feel like dallalls
Speaker 4: right in that category. And Kendrey Miller's of the world.
Speaker 4: You're taking some shots, so why not. I mean, I
Speaker 4: think that's a good pick, and and a team that
Speaker 4: should be better. Brace Young should be better, McMillan should
Speaker 4: definitely help, and just I really really think Caroline is
Speaker 4: gonna be better than people think they are this year.
Speaker 5: I don't like it.
Speaker 6: I would have taken Bill Merritt and any of other
Speaker 6: of these players to the right here, let's.
Speaker 5: Go back to team number nine.
Speaker 4: I probably would have took what it took. Merit too
Speaker 4: personally an upside.
Speaker 5: It's not become copy.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to not agree with you, but I think.
Speaker 6: The force field of agreement and it's not. But I
Speaker 6: you know, I think Data has proven himself to be
Speaker 6: a complimentary NFL player, And so you want to talk upside,
Speaker 6: that's what you believe in of these players.
Speaker 5: I think Krossky Merritt has a more upside. And you
Speaker 5: know he changed his name to Bill. He changed his
Speaker 5: name to Whiskey.
Speaker 7: Bill.
Speaker 5: Crowdworths would have been happy meeting.
Speaker 6: But you've we've talked about we've talked about these these
Speaker 6: late draft stacks. And there's your boy Cameron Ward and
Speaker 6: the Tennessee receiver eric a.
Speaker 1: Uh alec Iya Manor talking about yeah, yeah, and he
Speaker 1: was mister irrelevant last night. He goes a little bit
Speaker 1: higher in the seventeenth round tonight. And guys, I do
Speaker 1: want to get to one one other guest here tonight
Speaker 1: who's hanging out with us here in the in the
Speaker 1: green room. A player that god I don't I mean
Speaker 1: Parall We had him on the show a few weeks back.
Speaker 1: I don't even know how many leagues he's won one
Speaker 1: hundred and forty hundred and fifty hundred and sixty leagues
Speaker 1: over the course of his FFPE career. He is a
Speaker 1: real one. He's an og and he joins us tonight
Speaker 1: live from the eleven hole. It is mister Todd, Aaron
Speaker 1: the mad genius of Fantasy football. Todd, welcome in. Good
Speaker 1: you hear. How is your pro ressus Joe's draft going
Speaker 1: in your opinion?
Speaker 5: I don't know. I'm not too sure. How you guys doing.
Speaker 1: We're doing good. We're having a lot of fun tonight.
Speaker 1: It's it's been great covering you know, all twelve teams.
Speaker 1: We spent a good amount talking about your chief stack
Speaker 1: here with Rye Rice, Kelsey Mahomes. How much of that
Speaker 1: was part of the planner? Did it just kind of
Speaker 1: fall into place and it just kept cheating, chasing chiefs
Speaker 1: as it were in rounds three through six.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 12: I set up several scenarios. I guess the one I
Speaker 12: liked the most was take two running backs and the
Speaker 12: first two picks and then try and hit those chiefs.
Speaker 12: Did Yeah, it worked out. But I had a whole
Speaker 12: bunch of other scenarios laid out.
Speaker 8: What one was to actually.
Speaker 12: Take Nakula and then Adams in the third and then
Speaker 12: later gets Stafford because I figured he'd be easy to
Speaker 12: get pretty late.
Speaker 10: Mm hmm.
Speaker 12: But yeah, after the Chiefs picks, I just kept getting sniped,
Speaker 12: so it was. It was tough, but we'll see time.
Speaker 1: Who did you get sniped? Who did you get sniped on?
Speaker 1: Specifically after you know you said after those Chiefs guys
Speaker 1: that you had drafted him. Who did you start getting
Speaker 1: sniped on?
Speaker 4: Let me see.
Speaker 1: Pierce, saw Deebo, Samuel Cooper Cup were the three selections
Speaker 1: right after the right after the Chiefs. I don't know
Speaker 1: if I want to look at it.
Speaker 12: I wanted in the ninth he got it. Yep, Yeah,
Speaker 12: he went one before, and then uh, when I took
Speaker 12: Stafford in the thirteenth, I thought I could get Kirk
Speaker 12: coming back, but he got trade after I picked he.
Speaker 1: Had other plans. Yeah, Kirk goes right.
Speaker 5: After I wanted to throw.
Speaker 12: Yeah, and then uh in the fifteenth I was thinking
Speaker 12: about getting smith Ford. I figured I could get two
Speaker 12: of them, and I only got one.
Speaker 1: ToJ Brooks. Is a nice little consolation prize there, though, Todd,
Speaker 1: even though you didn't get Giddings or Ford, I like
Speaker 1: Taj Brooks there for you.
Speaker 5: Well, there's another Chiefs receiver that I love for you
Speaker 5: coming back around.
Speaker 10: So okay another.
Speaker 12: Oh no, A lot of I wanted to take Hollywood
Speaker 12: Brown too, but he got sniped as well, and then
Speaker 12: uh even in the seventeenth once again, I wanted Diammy
Speaker 12: Brown coming back on the eighteenth. You know, I thought
Speaker 12: about taking Theammie Brown first and then Sonad in the eighteenth,
Speaker 12: but I wasn't sure I would get him.
Speaker 1: So it is kind of nice Todd that you're, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're getting sniper. You're not getting sniped in the early rounds.
Speaker 1: Getting you're getting You're getting sniped in the late rounds
Speaker 1: right now, which is is obviously better than getting sniped
Speaker 1: in like rounds five, six, seven, eight, like early on.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 12: But I jumped the gun on Rice just because I
Speaker 12: was able to get Worthy. So I think Rice would
Speaker 12: have gone much later in the fourth, maybe even early fifth,
Speaker 12: but he wouldn't come back to me, so I took him.
Speaker 12: And the one I think I could have waited on
Speaker 12: was Mahomes. I think I could have got him at
Speaker 12: the seven eleven, but there was a chance that I
Speaker 12: might not, and I already had Worthy, Rice and Kelsey.
Speaker 4: I didn't want to take the chance.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I would have done the same thing
Speaker 1: as you. I mean, it's supposed to be fun, and
Speaker 1: I think drafting four straight Chiefs that early, especially when
Speaker 1: this should be the return of the downfield Chiefs passing
Speaker 1: offense this year, I wouldn't have risked it. I would
Speaker 1: have done the same thing as you and got Mahomes there.
Speaker 1: It just would have stunk if, like you know, you
Speaker 1: think when it was coming back in the seventh round,
Speaker 1: what happens if Michael Nazarek instead of taking Baker Mayfield,
Speaker 1: he takes Patrick Mahomes there, and then that ruins it.
Speaker 1: So I was definitely on board with the Mahomes pick
Speaker 1: for you there as well. I do want to ask
Speaker 1: you about Cooper Cup real quick. Cooper Cup no longer
Speaker 1: with the Rams. He is in Seattle. Many people are
Speaker 1: saying he's dust. You do not believe he is dust
Speaker 1: in Seattle. You believe that there is something with Cooper
Speaker 1: Cup in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 5: I'm wholly out hope. I'm not convinced.
Speaker 12: But when I got to that spot again, Pittman went
Speaker 12: right in front of me, and I was thinking about
Speaker 12: who I could take, and I didn't like any of
Speaker 12: the other receivers around there, so I said I'm gonna
Speaker 12: go for it.
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens, and you got him Dobbins. I
Speaker 1: thought was nice to Dobbins going where did R. J.
Speaker 1: Harvey go to night Pharrell? Where are we looking at him?
Speaker 1: Six eleven, six eleven, And then you get JK. Dobbins
Speaker 1: in the tenth round here I thought Eckler was interesting,
Speaker 1: an interesting pick for you where you're getting that receiving
Speaker 1: upside here in the eleventh round with him speaking of
Speaker 1: receiving upside, zach Ertz, who's the number one tight end
Speaker 1: I believe in Washington. But it doesn't matter to you
Speaker 1: because you got Ben Sinnatt later. Probably you weren't taking
Speaker 1: Sanat unless you already had Ertz and you've locked up
Speaker 1: that position a position Todd, that could be the number
Speaker 1: two receiving option in that high power Jaden Daniels offense
Speaker 1: in our nation's capital.
Speaker 12: Yeah, there's a chance that could work out nice because
Speaker 12: I don't know if Ertz can make it through the
Speaker 12: whole season healthy, So we'll see how it goes. I
Speaker 12: wanted to take a royal, but I think everyone wanted
Speaker 12: to take him, Yes, and with trigger fast enough.
Speaker 1: So Doug said the same thing when he was on
Speaker 1: too Todd that that he wanted to get him, and
Speaker 1: he ends up going at the fourteen oh five tonight
Speaker 1: to Michael Nazarek from Fantasy Football Mastermind. You are coming
Speaker 1: up here? What are you in the hole? You have
Speaker 1: just taken Raheem Mostert, one of Farrell's favorites here in
Speaker 1: the eighteenth round. A couple of picks before we get
Speaker 1: to you here. I don't know like you have a
Speaker 1: balanced squad. You have three tight ends, you have three quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the receivers only five. Maybe you could
Speaker 1: go that direction more receivers, or or you could take
Speaker 1: two receivers. Two receivers. Okay, two receivers to end it.
Speaker 1: You heard it here first, Todd, Aaron one hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty plus time FFPC league champ is going to go
Speaker 1: with two receivers to end his draft tonight. Sean Tucker
Speaker 1: goes to Eric Young the FFPC Joe here at the
Speaker 1: nineteen oh nine Doug Orth, a guy who just commented
Speaker 1: in the YouTube chat again, he said, the best feeling
Speaker 1: is hearing that you snipe somebody. So he was glad
Speaker 1: to hear that he sniped you a couple of times.
Speaker 5: Todd.
Speaker 1: We'll see if he does snipe you again. Here at
Speaker 1: the nineteen ten, he goes kyle Vin Nunguy. So you've
Speaker 1: survived it here? What are you doing at the nineteen
Speaker 1: eleven for receiver Todd?
Speaker 12: It looks pretty bleak, but I think I'll take a shot.
Speaker 12: You talked about this guy earlier, thinking that he might
Speaker 12: not do much, But I'm gonna take Jalen Nole.
Speaker 1: Jalen Knowle will end up going to Team Mad Genius
Speaker 1: of Fantasy Football with his penultimate pick tonight, Jalen Knowle,
Speaker 1: who is playing alongside Stefan Diggs, Christian Kirk and Jaden
Speaker 1: Higgins in Houston. The first pick of the twentieth round
Speaker 1: is a Marii Cooper who is sans team right now,
Speaker 1: but we'll see where he lands. And Todd, you are
Speaker 1: now on the clock for your final pick of the night.
Speaker 1: Who's it going to be?
Speaker 12: I see too too well, but I can't do it. Guys,
Speaker 12: there's another chief. There is another chief, but I think
Speaker 12: I'm gonna take Tyler Lockett.
Speaker 5: I think I like that a lot.
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett, a longtime Seahawk now Tennessee Titan. I didn't
Speaker 1: realize that you did add a fifth chief in Brishard
Speaker 1: Smith here, which I guess I knew you added him,
Speaker 1: but I didn't compute two and two together with you
Speaker 1: getting a fifth Kansas City chief on this roster. You
Speaker 1: just like you said, Todd, you have ended it with
Speaker 1: two receivers in Jalen Nole and Tyler Lockett. Congratulations on
Speaker 1: your Pros Versus Joe squad this year. Good luck to
Speaker 1: you not only in Pros Versus Joe's, but good luck
Speaker 1: to you in the main event and all the other
Speaker 1: leagues you are participating in. Certainly so glad to have
Speaker 1: you on tonight once again. I know we had you
Speaker 1: on the show a few weeks ago. Fun times talking
Speaker 1: with you, then fun times talking with you. Now be good,
Speaker 1: don't be a stranger. Let's talk again real soon.
Speaker 4: Sounds good.
Speaker 8: I enjoyed it.
Speaker 5: Have a good one for everything.
Speaker 1: Absolutely Todd Aaron the mad genius of Fantasy Football, joining
Speaker 1: us here on the show as we entered the final
Speaker 1: round of Pros Versus Joe's twenty twenty five. And what
Speaker 1: a ride. It's Ben Ferrell. I assume he has he
Speaker 1: was on dad duty because I know his his kids. Okay,
Speaker 1: it gets it gets bad at bedtime, I guess sometimes.
Speaker 1: So he told me that might happen. But as we
Speaker 1: look at as we look at you know, the pros
Speaker 1: versus Joe's drafts this year, and all six of them,
Speaker 1: I think they were all fun. They all had different
Speaker 1: aspects to them that were unique. We saw a lot
Speaker 1: of different strategies employed. We saw some things that I
Speaker 1: didn't think we were going to see. And certainly the
Speaker 1: main takeaway I have is, and I know there's eighty
Speaker 1: four drafters, we just cover seventy two of them here
Speaker 1: because we don't cover the slow draft. All of them
Speaker 1: took a pretty serious All of them are out for
Speaker 1: the main event free team in twenty twenty six, but
Speaker 1: they will happily settle for second place and the socks
Speaker 1: that Farrell Elliott will be supplying for the runners up
Speaker 1: this year. Great job by you again this year, my friend.
Speaker 1: So much fun to hang out and call these drafts.
Speaker 1: It was a blast we were here.
Speaker 5: I learned a lot.
Speaker 6: I learned a lot about drafting from these guys. Makes
Speaker 6: me want to get on my horse and head to
Speaker 6: Las Vegas, but I'll get to fly instead, So I'm
Speaker 6: looking forward to we have.
Speaker 1: Let's see how many picks left here? Seven picks left
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell. That would have been an interesting play for
Speaker 1: Todd here if he wanted to go with a non receiver,
Speaker 1: but a still a chief here in the twentieth round.
Speaker 1: He ends up not taking him. He goes to Tyler Locke,
Speaker 1: which you love the pick, not as much as you
Speaker 1: love Scott Shenwolf's pick of two at well. Here he
Speaker 1: ends up drafting five tight ends. We talked about his
Speaker 1: squad earlier, how he didn't draft the tight end till
Speaker 1: round ten, ends with five of them, Loveland, Mason Taylor,
Speaker 1: Juwan Johnson, Tyler Higbee a couple, and Tyler Conklin by
Speaker 1: the way too. So kind of three steady eddies to
Speaker 1: go with those two upside guys, you think five tight
Speaker 1: ends was overkilled even though he didn't draft one until
Speaker 1: round ten.
Speaker 6: Yeah, sir, And that's the danger that you can get
Speaker 6: in when you wait too long. So let's let's hope
Speaker 6: for Loveland to deliver what we thought he might be
Speaker 6: able to deliver earlier in the season.
Speaker 1: The I'm looking at this here.
Speaker 4: We had.
Speaker 1: Joseph on x any comments on team nine with two
Speaker 1: tight ends with the same bye. I'm not seeing that.
Speaker 1: Tucker Craft Brenton Strange Jatavian Sanders are the three tight
Speaker 1: ends for Eric Young, who's Team nine. They all have
Speaker 1: different buys. Maybe he's talking about Michael Nazarex's team A
Speaker 1: Team eight. Goddrtin and Joku both have the same bye,
Speaker 1: but he's got Elijah or Royal who does not in
Speaker 1: the fourteenth round, so he's good to go there.
Speaker 6: This late at night, you begin to see things, be
Speaker 6: in to see things that aren't necessarily there.
Speaker 1: Joshava is the pick for Darren Armani here his final
Speaker 1: pick of the of the draft. It seems like he's
Speaker 1: probably got the inside track on the bengals number three
Speaker 1: receiving job. Is that the way you viewed as well?
Speaker 1: Over Jermaine Burton?
Speaker 5: Now, I think he just got more in a track.
Speaker 5: I think he's got to lock him locked up.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, your boy Tyler Shuck goes to Nick
Speaker 1: Thompson here his quarterback a trio is Bo Nicks, Michael
Speaker 1: Pennix and Tyler Shuck here. What do you I mean?
Speaker 1: There's a lot of youth here and quite frankly, you're
Speaker 1: looking at two years combined NFL experience really just over
Speaker 1: one year because Pennis only had the handful of games
Speaker 1: at the end. And then he also adds five tight
Speaker 1: ends on this squad, Kincaine, Friarmuth, Schultz, Waller and Gray.
Speaker 1: I always talk about, you know, I talked about just
Speaker 1: a few minutes ago, how we've seen some stuff I
Speaker 1: didn't expect to see. Didn't expect to see that combination
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks and tight ends. That's a fun team too.
Speaker 5: Joe, he's a Joe.
Speaker 1: Nick Thompson's a Joe, A long time iMPC player.
Speaker 5: Though.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, how do you pick on a guy
Speaker 6: if you don't like his twentieth round pick? I like
Speaker 6: his tight ends. I like I like his tight ends.
Speaker 6: He didn't have to pick No. One Gray. Maybe was
Speaker 6: that an auto pick?
Speaker 1: It was an auto pick?
Speaker 6: Yeah, maybe he's already But you know what, and you
Speaker 6: asked about his quarterbacks. I think by waiting he even
Speaker 6: got more than what he.
Speaker 5: Paid for those quarterbacks.
Speaker 6: So I've for value if you want to says it
Speaker 6: just based on value.
Speaker 5: Good job. And I like the shuk Shaheed stack.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's interesting there too. And then you know
Speaker 1: he gets Drake Lonnon and Michael Pennix together to Courtland
Speaker 1: Sutton and bow Nick. So there's a lot of little
Speaker 1: mini stacks on this squad.
Speaker 5: Exactly what he wanted to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he did a very good job. And
Speaker 1: I think that given his focus on running backs and
Speaker 1: receivers through the first eight rounds, really sets him up
Speaker 1: for a good core of success. And and if those
Speaker 1: quarterbacks hit, if even one of them hits, you're looking
Speaker 1: at a tender for a twenty twenty six f FPC
Speaker 1: main event. We have come to the final pick. Mister
Speaker 1: irrelevant John Roseak. He's not mister develpment. Mister relevant John
Speaker 1: Roseac is going to make the pick for mister irrelevant
Speaker 1: for Pros Versus Joe's twenty twenty five and it is
Speaker 1: Trevor Etn in Carolina, and that will complete tonight's draft
Speaker 1: live draft of the FFPC Pros Versus Joe's Division number six.
Speaker 1: This is the Rolling Stones Division, and boy, we rolled
Speaker 1: through a lot tonight. It was a lot of fun. Farrell,
