Obviously, 193 00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:51.159 he could be the number one player in any sort 194 00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:54.039 of tight end premium format, I just because of I'm 195 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:57.200 contractually obligated to kind of work on and track the 196 00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:59.559 tight end position all year long. It's a place where 197 00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:01.919 I feel I can generate value late, and we know 198 00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:05.720 that in regular formats, at least, not even counting the 199 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:08.639 tight end premium, we've had guys come from outside the 200 00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:12.879 top seventeen to ADP to finish top five in thirteen 201 00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:16.279 straight years. I'm talking Evan Ingram a couple times, Darren Waller, 202 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:18.480 Robert Tunyan, you go all the way back to like 203 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:21.159 Julius Thomas, all these guys Like it's a position that 204 00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:23.360 you can create leverage at. So I don't want to 205 00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:26.200 give away all my tricks here. But for me, I 206 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:28.360 feel like if I load up on the other positions 207 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:30.559 and then and then pick the right kind of sleeper 208 00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:32.840 guys late, load up maybe with it with some extra 209 00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:35.200 tight ends because it's a twenty round draft, I can 210 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:38.080 create some leverage that way and kind of backdoor my 211 00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:40.960 way to eliteness at that position. So usually I don't 212 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.639 take guys there, I will. I mean, obviously, if Trey 213 00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.840 McBride somehow miraculously comes back, I would have to take him. 214 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:48.679 But yeah, that's kind of been my way. 215 00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:53.759 It's a Trey McBride would be the huge yin to 216 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.000 the Yin Yang, and the Yang would obviously be a 217 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:57.679 smaller one. Coop, I gotta tell you we said this 218 00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:01.080 last year too. With all your success, Fantasy Alarm has 219 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:03.360 sort of been like the pipeline for a tight end. 220 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:05.200 Whispers it used to be Howard Bender and then he 221 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:08.559 willingly passed that moniker off to you as well. I 222 00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:11.639 know people tune in for your pro Versus Joe's draft 223 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:14.600 annually just to find out what mid round tight ends 224 00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:16.759 you're selecting in this because you know you have to 225 00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:19.440 win first or second to win anything in this And 226 00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:22.879 clearly everybody's me paying attention to see what happens after 227 00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:25.320 you have your running backs, receivers and quarterbacks in the road, 228 00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:26.840 to see what you're gonna doing in the mid rounds 229 00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:28.440 with tight end. Are you going to try to throw 230 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.240 anybody off tonight? Or are the tight ends you're drafting 231 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:32.440 you truly believe it? 232 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.399 Well, the thing is, I stay plugged into the value. 233 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:37.399 I will take value where it is. 234 00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:40.559 So with my Yuni Yang tight end rankings, there's always 235 00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:42.559 a section I call the standalone tier. 236 00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:44.600 These are the guys, you know, the top few guys 237 00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:45.399 where in a. 238 00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:48.720 Typical league, not a like a typical redraft, you draft 239 00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:50.919 one and you're done. If you take Bowers, you're only 240 00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:52.960 worried about Bie Weeks. So I will keep my eye 241 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:56.000 on those guys. There's definitely guys that play well into 242 00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.679 this tight end premium format where people keep in mind 243 00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:01.960 the premium is only for the receptions, not the yards, 244 00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:04.759 not the touchdowns. I think that's a big that's one 245 00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:07.240 of the biggest advantages you can get over casual gamers. 246 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:10.320 And again in pros versus Joe's I've done enough of 247 00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:12.840 these to know it should just be pros versus pros. 248 00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:15.519 The people that follow the watch these shows, that hang 249 00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:19.600 out in the chat, these are very very good fantasy gamers. 250 00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:22.840 There's no there's no bad gamers in this. But that's 251 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:24.919 the one place people get tricked up with the tight 252 00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:28.279 end premium is is they just think all tight ends 253 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.639 equally get raised. But the guys that make their their 254 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:35.799 bones on touchdowns or on yards not exactly getting the benefit. 255 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:38.320 I'll give you one example from last year, a guy 256 00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:41.960 like Tucker Craft, right like Tucker Craft had two sixty 257 00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:45.039 yard plays that accounted for like eighteen percent of his yards. 258 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:47.000 He had a bunch of touchdowns, which was great, but 259 00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:49.080 he only got seventy targets on the season. That's four 260 00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:51.960 point one targets per game. That player last year at 261 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:54.759 least didn't benefit as much from the tight end premium 262 00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:57.120 as these guys like you know in Djoku who had 263 00:12:57.200 --> 00:13:00.840 ninety seven targets in eleven games, or bally McBride and 264 00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:02.360 Bowers that are given one hundred. 265 00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:04.440 And forty hundred and fifty. So make sure you check 266 00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:06.679 the rules and you see where you're getting the bus. 267 00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:09.600 Uh coop when you I know you like to take 268 00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:12.440 value where it comes in these drafts. Once you knew 269 00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:14.519 you had the four pick, do you have an idea 270 00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:16.639 sort of like in your mind about a few players 271 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:18.879 at the one you know your as your first round pick, 272 00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:20.440 a few players that you think you're going to be 273 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:23.519 picking up the second And then conversely, if you didn't, 274 00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:25.399 did you at least have sort of like a format 275 00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:28.519 in your mind of like proper roster construction on like, Okay, 276 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:29.879 I sort of want to end with this. I want 277 00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:31.399 to end with this or do you just really play 278 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:33.320 everything by year once you get on the clock. 279 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:36.440 So I you know, when I do these ones, there's 280 00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:40.120 actually I do have a roster construction in mind where 281 00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:41.879 I want to end up, Like, I know I'm going 282 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:43.679 to get there one way or another. When you go 283 00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:46.480 out to twenty rounds, which I prefer, I like, I 284 00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:49.519 like best, I almost always end up with three qbs 285 00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:51.960 and three tight ends at the very least, just because 286 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:54.559 you have that leverage, you have the extra rounds to 287 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:56.960 make it there. So I do kind of think that 288 00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:59.360 way when I'm going in. I did load up my 289 00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:02.679 cue with four players I liked. It was the Jamar 290 00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:05.720 Chase and three running backs. In this keep in mind 291 00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:10.080 again it's two running backs, two wide receivers, two flexes, 292 00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:12.200 so you can be a lot more flexible and it 293 00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:16.000 doesn't fear pressure you into drafting wide receivers like some 294 00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:17.000 of the other platforms. 295 00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:17.759 Do you know what I mean? 296 00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:18.399 Like, you can. 297 00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:21.600 Truly go with a more best available approach. 298 00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:26.159 For me, the player right now is my best available 299 00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:28.039 player in pretty much all formats. 300 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:29.559 So I'm gonna go ahead and take Drake London. 301 00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:33.240 Yet, Drake London is Coop's second round pick, and so 302 00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:36.320 you go Falcon, Falcon and Obviously, anybody watching this, the 303 00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:38.440 first question is going to be are you worried about 304 00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:40.759 having too many eggs in the Atlanta basket? And you 305 00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:43.879 clearly answer with the resounding no, I'm not worried. 306 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:44.840 Not worried about it. 307 00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:48.559 And again, with these highly consolidated teams, I'm just looking 308 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:51.159 for the best players and the best situations. I mean, 309 00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:54.399 we've seen plenty of times where you know, great running 310 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:57.960 backs and great wide receivers on the same teams crush. 311 00:14:58.000 --> 00:14:59.559 I mean, guys, last year, if you went out and 312 00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:04.080 took Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase t Higgins, Chase Brown, you. 313 00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:05.159 Had no problems at all. 314 00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:07.799 If you went back and you took you know, any 315 00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:10.320 of the times that you know, even like Tom Brady 316 00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:12.919 and Legarrett Blunt and Julian Edelman and those guys, if 317 00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:14.879 you took I mean, I've had kids. 318 00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.320 One year, take Drew Brees and Michael. 319 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:21.440 Thomas and and and Alvin Kamar and he mopped us, 320 00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:22.879 he mopped the floor. You don't think you lost a 321 00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:25.039 single game. So if you if you get the right 322 00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:27.399 guys in the right situations, you'll be all right. I'm 323 00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:29.679 not necessarily going crazy, but I just think these are 324 00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:33.159 the two best players on the team, uh, and then 325 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:34.200 they're going to be just fine. 326 00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:35.840 So for me, I have no problem there. With some 327 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:36.799 of these other teams. 328 00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:40.840 Though, like if you got a team that's not highly consolidated, 329 00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:45.279 like the the Packers for instance, that's where I get 330 00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:48.720 scared to have multiple players, especially you know, when you're 331 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:50.399 picking one guy from the run game, one guy from 332 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:52.600 the past game. But for these two players, I just 333 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:54.720 think they're stars, and I'm just hoping that the stars align. 334 00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:58.240 You just mentioned the Bengals. T Higgins is your pick 335 00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:00.600 here at the three h four. I know you gotta fly. 336 00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:03.679 I want to give you one opportunity here for anybody 337 00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:07.759 who is interested in consuming more Andrew Cooper content.

Where can they listen to you? 339 00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:10.919 Absolutely? 340 00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:13.039 I mean I'll be jumping back on here with Terp 341 00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:15.279 and Aiden to do another recap of a draft at 342 00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:17.399 some point this summer, hopefully, so I'll be popping on 343 00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:20.240 these airwaves.

He doesn't 377 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:34.400 fall that far. 378 00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:34.680 Ever. 379 00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:37.640 It's a rare occasion where you see guys like Ceedee Lamb, 380 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:40.319 you know, Bowers getting as high as he did, and 381 00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:42.920 obviously Jamiir Gibbs, Thegether three are pretty much you know, 382 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:46.079 Barkley's been falling a little bit, but Jefferson is seven 383 00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:48.000 is a gift, and then getting Brian Thomas in the 384 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:50.759 next round is an awesome start. 385 00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:56.519 Uh Farrell the auto drafter at the one spot not 386 00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:59.440 a bad squad. This is oftentimes what I hear when 387 00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:02.920 I'm commission Big Gorilla drafts or main events or FFPC drafts. 388 00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:06.119 People are upset that there's an auto drafter and then 389 00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:08.440 they you know, halfway through, like man, that auto drafter 390 00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:11.000 put together quite a team. And I always bring this 391 00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:14.000 up too, and I can't remember who it was because 392 00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:16.079 it happened a few years ago. But there was a 393 00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:19.160 gentleman I was commissioning it on one of our midstakes 394 00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:22.079 drafts for the big six figure grand prize at the time. 395 00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:25.480 Now it's a million dollars. He had a son who 396 00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:27.720 was being unruly at bedtime, had a lot of problems 397 00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:29.960 trying to get to go to sleep. His whole team 398 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:32.799 was auto drafted, and that dude. Now he finished in 399 00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:35.319 like the top seventy overall, but going into the final 400 00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:38.519 week of the championship round, he was in like fifteenth 401 00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:41.680 overall on an auto drafted team. So these auto drafted 402 00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:45.599 teams Pharaoh, They oftentimes come together and team won. Chase Jacobs, 403 00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:47.680 Kien Williams not a bad start man. 404 00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:50.920 Well, you know, maybe they'll wake up. Are they drafting 405 00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:53.200 from a queue or these truly auto drafts? 406 00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:56.039 As far as I know, these are truly auto drafts. 407 00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:57.759 I don't believe there was a Q sevey looked like 408 00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:01.359 auto draft. All things considered, These guys didn't get the email. 409 00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:04.640 Inter It's really interesting what you talked about. We felt 410 00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:07.359 the same way about the seven and eight spot last night. 411 00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:10.480 We felt the players were dropping there. There there's maybe 412 00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:14.519 so many great first round candidates that you can say, 413 00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:17.359 any of those guys in the seventh and eight spot 414 00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:18.640 are great picks. 415 00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:21.880 So you know, I agree those seventh and eighth have 416 00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:24.839 a great start so far, no no issues whatsoever. 417 00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:28.640 That's different guys, different guys. Yeah, maybe it's just the 418 00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:30.920 it's the right spot for it. You never know. We 419 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.759 want to get to our next guest, Ladies and gentlemen. 420 00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:37.000 He is the f FPC Joe drafting out of the 421 00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:40.200 eleven spot tonight. You will be able to watch him 422 00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:42.720 live this Friday when he joins Sperrel and I to 423 00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:44.920 recap his draft and take a look forward to the 424 00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:48.119 f FPC main event as well. Please welcome onto the program, 425 00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:51.759 mister Rob Thomasino. Rob, welcome in man, So good to 426 00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:55.279 have you aboard. How do you like your draft so far? 427 00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:59.119 Not bad? I just really trying to draft a value. 428 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:01.799 I will say that this is the first. 429 00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:03.759 You're not gonna believe this, but this is my first 430 00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:06.000 best ball draft that I've ever done. 431 00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:08.160 Wow, really ever. 432 00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:09.680 Ever. 433 00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:13.279 I'm a traditional Joe, I'm an f FPC main event guy, 434 00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:14.079 and I've never. 435 00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:16.279 Done the best ball draft until right now. 436 00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:16.839 Rob. 437 00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:18.400 You would have thank you would have founded up from 438 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:21.119 one just by accident you know you were doing You 439 00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:24.000 ended there just I didn't mean to be here when 440 00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:28.559 I'm here, so you know, no accident. Congratulations on a 441 00:20:28.599 --> 00:20:30.920 great career, man, You're doing great. 442 00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:32.000 Thank you. 443 00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:34.920 I'm really happy to be here and very appreciative. 444 00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:38.720 Rob. Let's let's talk about the draft here. Nikola was 445 00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:41.160 your first choice in the first round. Now, you could 446 00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:43.400 have grabbed McCaffrey there, you could have gone Saint Brown 447 00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:46.160 or maybe even Nico Collins. Was the upside too good 448 00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:49.680 to resist with Nikoua at the one eleven tonight. 449 00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:53.799 Definitely, I'm a big Nikola fan. I draft with my 450 00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:56.559 eyes a lot. I watch a ton of football. I 451 00:20:56.559 --> 00:20:59.440 don't miss hardly any TV games. I got the packages, 452 00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:02.960 and to me, he's a player, and he's very consistent, 453 00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:05.400 and without Cup he should get a ton of targets, 454 00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:07.079 and I'm excited about him. 455 00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:08.039 What do you make? 456 00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:09.880 You know, there's a lot of people talking about the 457 00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:14.440 Dolphins offense maybe in decline or maybe spiraling not in 458 00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:16.359 the right way, and yet I don't hear that about 459 00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:18.799 Devon ah Chan. Even people who don't necessarily like the 460 00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:22.160 Dolphins offense seem to still like eight Chan this year. 461 00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:24.200 This is a guy that I've heard I think was 462 00:21:24.200 --> 00:21:26.839 the Established the Run podcast I listened to a couple 463 00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:29.160 of weeks ago. Those guys are talking about a pathway 464 00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:31.000 for eight chan he maybe be the one on one, 465 00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:33.119 or not the one on one, but the top running 466 00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:35.640 back this year as well. And you get him at 467 00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:38.240 the two oh two. Again, when you're talking about winning 468 00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:42.279 first place or socks for nothing, it's all about upside, 469 00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:44.680 and you clearly saw some upside here with at the 470 00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:45.200 two oh. 471 00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:50.960 Definitely definitely another guy that if you watch quick around 472 00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:54.799 the corner, great cuts, great moves, and uh, he's gonna 473 00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:56.799 get a lot of a lot of volume this year, 474 00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:58.559 and I don't think the Dolphins are going to be 475 00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:01.000 that good of a team, and I could see him. 476 00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:03.440 Getting a lot of fourth quarter of dump. 477 00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:06.200 Passes, a lot of what we call garbage time points, 478 00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:08.119 besides being one of the best players in the league. 479 00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:09.920 So I think he has tremendous upside. 480 00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:13.559 Rob the James Cook pick we should talk about too. 481 00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:16.559 This is a guy who scored sixteen rushing touchdowns last 482 00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:19.559 season and obviously had some issues of this contract doesn't 483 00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:21.960 sound like it's a big deal, and he's been reporting 484 00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:25.079 and everything. He's running back sixteen on average. You get 485 00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:27.000 him tonight at running back fourteen. So not a big 486 00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:29.920 greach on this, but your thoughts on why James Cook 487 00:22:29.960 --> 00:22:32.079 is still going to churn out a top fifteen running 488 00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:33.079 back season this year. 489 00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:36.519 This year, So that was a tough pick for me 490 00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:37.000 right there. 491 00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:38.920 I was in between. I kind of wanted to take 492 00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:42.680 a receiver, but I didn't love any of the ones 493 00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:45.599 that was sitting there, and Cook was really good last year. 494 00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:49.119 I don't see any reason that Ray Davis is going 495 00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:52.319 to take over any touches for him again. Should have 496 00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:56.319 a lot of volume. I think his touchdown number last 497 00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:00.400 year was a little bit inflated. But the Bills are 498 00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:03.079 going to be good. They'll have a lot of scoring opportunities. 499 00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:05.240 Alan will get his touchdowns, but I think Cook will 500 00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:06.119 be in double digits. 501 00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:09.480 Also, you know, I have I think I mentioned this 502 00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:11.759 last night to Ferrell during our broadcast. It's not like 503 00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:13.799 I have a ton of Marvin Harrison, but I have 504 00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:15.680 enough so far this season. 505 00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:18.240 I'm a believer in this guy bouncing back. 506 00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:20.319 I'm a believer that this guy is going to be 507 00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:24.480 the beneficiary of an offensive coordinator that realizes what they 508 00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:26.960 did wrong and how they misused him last year. Is 509 00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:29.839 going to take advantage of a softer schedule and another 510 00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:32.480 year of chemistry with Kyler Murray. I like Marvin Harrison 511 00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:34.279 as the bounce back. You get him at the three 512 00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:36.519 four turn the four h two tonight. Was that a 513 00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:38.599 difficult choice? I know you said the cook one was. 514 00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:40.000 Was Harrison difficult as well? 515 00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:40.920 Well? 516 00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:45.079 It was the three four turn late on the eleven 517 00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:47.200 twelve slot to me is always hard every year. 518 00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:50.799 Again, Marvin Harrison, I'm a big Ohio State guy. My 519 00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:52.079 daughter goes to Ohio State. 520 00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:56.759 But like you said, last year was a mystery that 521 00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:59.519 he just didn't perform up to his expectations. And my 522 00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:02.400 hope is that this year he'll bounce back and he'll 523 00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:04.079 be one of the fantasy stars. I mean, he has 524 00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:06.240 the potential and he has the ability, So let's hope 525 00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:07.240 that that's how it plays out. 526 00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:09.960 Rob When you you said you had never done a 527 00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:12.519 Best Ball draft before, what kind of prep did you 528 00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:15.480 did you put into this? Knowing that this was a 529 00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:17.079 set it and forget a team that you wouldn't be 530 00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:19.359 able to toy around with it throughout the season once 531 00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:22.839 it's drafted. Tonight, you just got to leave it right. 532 00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:25.680 So I did do a lot of studying over the 533 00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:29.599 last week. I use I am not allowed to talk 534 00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:31.279 about which sites I use and stuff like that. 535 00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:33.920 Is that go ahead, fire away, you do you. 536 00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:37.519 So, I'm a big football guys. I've been using that 537 00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:38.319 for a long time. 538 00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:41.200 So I did a lot of research on football guys 539 00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:44.759 and uh, you know, they they kind of help you 540 00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:47.000 with the draft with their one of their tools which 541 00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:50.559 is really good, and uh that's my go to so 542 00:24:50.599 --> 00:24:53.240 that I don't have to sit here and you know, 543 00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:54.920 draw lines on sheets. 544 00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:56.680 So uh it helps me. 545 00:24:57.640 --> 00:25:00.519 Uh and you know, it's been good to I've been 546 00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:02.279 pretty consistent. 547 00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:05.400 In my FFPC main event contest. 548 00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:08.160 My my my challenge is getting over the hump and 549 00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:11.160 drafting a championship team because I feel like I'm pretty 550 00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:13.359 good at that. During the regular season, I get some 551 00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:15.440 teams into the championship bracket, but I never have a 552 00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:16.279 championship team. 553 00:25:16.319 --> 00:25:18.400 So that's where I need to get over the hump. 554 00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:20.799 Yeah, it's it's it's not an easy thing to do. 555 00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:22.960 I mean, there's there's plenty of people that you know, 556 00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:24.759 you are not alone, in fact, you're in the majority. 557 00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:27.039 Like it's it's you know, if it was easy, everybody 558 00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:29.119 would do it, right. Isn't that the old adage, if 559 00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:31.119 it was easy, that everybody would do it? Uh, you 560 00:25:31.240 --> 00:25:34.240 were a main event champion, You're a previous main event champion, 561 00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:37.359 and I believe are you you're drafting from hopeless or 562 00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:39.839 are you're going to join us in Las Vegas? 563 00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:40.680 I'm from home. 564 00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:43.759 Okay, all right, perfect, so we will We won't see 565 00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:46.079 you in Las Vegas, Rob, but what we will see 566 00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:49.319 is your smiling mug on Friday night as you joined 567 00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:52.079 the high stakes Fantasy Footballer. Myself and Pharaoh we're going 568 00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:56.279 to break down this draft extensively, so I'm very excited 569 00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:58.279 to talk to you about that. Good luck the rest 570 00:25:58.319 --> 00:26:00.319 of the way and we'll talk with the interview days, 571 00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:01.480 my friend. 572 00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:03.039 Thank you very much, appreciate it. 573 00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:08.559 Rob Thomasino, ladies and gentlemen joining us on the program tonight. 574 00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:09.279 Good dude. 575 00:26:09.319 --> 00:26:11.519 Excited to talk to him on Friday. 576 00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:11.920 For sure. 577 00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:15.240 Like I said, Rob is already an FFPC main event champion. 578 00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:18.079 He has never a couple of times over too, by 579 00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:21.519 the way, he's never won the whole thing. But hopefully 580 00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:23.240 this will be the year we could say, Hey, we 581 00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:25.279 talked to the million dollar winner on pros Versus shows 582 00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:28.519 this year. Back in July, we are motoring through here, 583 00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:32.119 Farrell getting into the end of the fifth round. Here, 584 00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:33.920 one of the players that you and I have not 585 00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:36.920 talked a whole lot about went to Team two tonight. 586 00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:39.920 Blair Andrews takes Zay Flowers at the five ZHO two. 587 00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:42.680 What do you make of Flowers this year? After the 588 00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:46.000 Bateman extension, knowing that Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry are 589 00:26:46.039 --> 00:26:50.559 there again, and then with John Harbaugh saying he wants 590 00:26:50.599 --> 00:26:53.240 Isaiah likely to be All Pro this year, nobody's talking 591 00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:55.640 about Jay Flowers. Should they be talking about Jay Flowers? 592 00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:59.119 They should be. And I love the football player, but 593 00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:01.920 I have not loved him as a fantasy player. I 594 00:27:01.960 --> 00:27:05.480 think this is the year, and somewhat last year, that 595 00:27:05.559 --> 00:27:09.640 the the draft position will catch up with the production. 596 00:27:09.920 --> 00:27:12.640 I think he's at the perfect spot. I don't think 597 00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:15.200 you're getting a bargain here where you're drafting, but you're 598 00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:19.799 gonna get enough and uh so, so I'm I'm pleased 599 00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:22.279 with that. I can't say that I would would have 600 00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:26.640 preferred anyone else there. I think those players are largely interchangeable. 601 00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:31.039 I love, love the player don't necessarily love the system 602 00:27:31.160 --> 00:27:34.920 for him, and that's what would and other guys don't either, 603 00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:36.880 or he wouldn't be in the fifth round here. 604 00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:40.279 Sur I wanted to ask you this earlier, but I'm 605 00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:43.160 gonna I'm gonna ask you now because we have the 606 00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:45.400 main pieces off the board in the Eagles. You saw 607 00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:48.079 aj Brown go at the two oweight. You saw DeVonta 608 00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:50.480 Smith go at the four eleven. Right before that, Jalen 609 00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:53.279 Hurts at the four oh five, the three biggest cogs 610 00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:56.559 in the Philly passing game Philadelphia. I brought this up yesterday. 611 00:27:56.920 --> 00:27:59.960 They ran at an historic pace last year in Routsu 612 00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:03.279 Super Bowl. I can't imagine that they're going to continue 613 00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:05.039 to be able to run the ball at that pace 614 00:28:05.079 --> 00:28:08.400 in twenty twenty five. Does that make you more likely 615 00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:11.839 to click the button on Brown, Smith and Hurts this year, 616 00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:14.920 knowing that these guys might be undervalued by drafters based 617 00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:17.920 on them underwhelming at least from a fantasy standpoint last 618 00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:19.720 year because of the success of Barkley. 619 00:28:20.359 --> 00:28:22.839 I think so. I mean, Eagle schedule is much much 620 00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:25.519 more difficult this year. The division is you know, Cowboys, 621 00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:28.920 are you got better? The Commanders got better. The Giants 622 00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:31.680 still stink, but it's still two wins in the season 623 00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:34.000 for them. But the Eagles schedule, if you look at it, 624 00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:37.119 there is not many Eagles easy games where they get 625 00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:39.759 their game scripts will be very positive. Last year they 626 00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:41.559 had a lot of things going in their favor where 627 00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:45.119 they were up. Barkley got a lot of carries, passing 628 00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:47.119 game got you know, you know, time me down, time 629 00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:50.200 me down a little bit, so to me, I think hurts. 630 00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:51.960 Aj Brown, I think is a great click in the 631 00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:54.279 second round, Like I have Drake London a little higher 632 00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:56.559 than him. But you know, either of those two I'd 633 00:28:56.559 --> 00:28:58.160 be throttle with. In the middle of the second round. 634 00:28:58.279 --> 00:29:00.960 DeVonta Smith. Where he's going. Is this another guy that 635 00:29:01.079 --> 00:29:03.759 makes a ton of sense and then hurts. You know, 636 00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:05.799 people are gonna say, well, he doesn't throw the ball, 637 00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:08.400 but he still has the rushing upside. He still has 638 00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:11.160 a touch bush. So you know where he's being drafted 639 00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:13.920 in these you know, pocket five quarterbacks that are being drafted. 640 00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:16.640 I love him all things considered, So I'm trying not 641 00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:19.039 to be a homer here, but you know, I like 642 00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:22.319 the passing game just slightly more than I like drafting. 643 00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:23.119 Barkley this year. 644 00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:27.440 I'm glad you are a Homer because it allows me 645 00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:29.559 to ask both of you guys this question get an 646 00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:31.759 honest answer. Who won the super Bowl last year? 647 00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:33.960 Yeah? 648 00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:36.079 I do believe they won the super Bowl last year, 649 00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:38.799 and they did it in convincing fashion. I love the 650 00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:42.000 defense in Philadelphia. They hardly get to play because this 651 00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:45.119 running game keeps them on the sidelines. I don't under 652 00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:48.440 you say they won't be able to run the ball trip. 653 00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:50.279 Because they didn't say they won't be able to I 654 00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:52.279 just wait, they won't be able to. 655 00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:56.079 Run the ball. Finish the sentence to the effect of 656 00:29:56.319 --> 00:30:00.559 positivity that they that they experienced last year, and I 657 00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:02.960 don't think they're going to go away from that, and 658 00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:07.759 I think they will be successful. So I guess I'm 659 00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:12.599 just countering. I can understand why these other players should 660 00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:17.240 have better years. I mean, Brown's year last year would 661 00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:20.039 not warrant where he's being drafted here, and I can 662 00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:24.759 understand that he would have a better year. But you know, you, guys, 663 00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:26.799 I just don't think they're going to throw away that 664 00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:28.960 winning script. I think they perfected it. 665 00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:31.240 I don't think they're going to either. I just think 666 00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:33.599 the teams are gonna start game planning a little bit 667 00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:35.240 more like the Chiefs tried to do in the Super 668 00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:37.000 Bowl to take Barkley out of the game and make 669 00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:40.200 Hurt speat them. And it worked in the super Bowl 670 00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:44.400 and it will continue to work. But let's just call 671 00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:48.759 what it is. I mean, they Barkley was ridiculous last 672 00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:50.720 year and most people hated him going to the season. 673 00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:54.640 So you know, another year, another year going into another year, 674 00:30:54.680 --> 00:30:58.240 another year older. So it's I'm not saying I'm fading 675 00:30:58.279 --> 00:31:00.599 Barkley in any way, but I can see games doing 676 00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:02.400 more of a Kansas City game plan like they tried 677 00:31:02.440 --> 00:31:04.839 in a Super Bowl. Make Hurts beat them, and then 678 00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:06.680 if you know, if that works out, you saw what 679 00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:08.960 happened in the super Bowl, and all those passing game 680 00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:12.279 guys will be values where they're being drafted. Last year, I. 681 00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:17.440 Think all these Eagles without Barkley and Hurts as being 682 00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:20.000 your stack. I think the website you're going to be 683 00:31:20.039 --> 00:31:22.920 consulting is turps in Trouble dot com. And I don't 684 00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:27.240 want to say I don't I'll be honest. 685 00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:29.799 I think you're both kind of like I think I'm 686 00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:33.960 thinking how both of you are are are leading me here. 687 00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:36.759 I mean, Perrell, I'm with you. I think that the Eagles, 688 00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:39.519 they they understand how they win. They win games with Barkley, 689 00:31:39.559 --> 00:31:41.480 they win games on the ground, they win games by 690 00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:44.319 keeping the other offense off the field. But I also 691 00:31:44.359 --> 00:31:47.000 think Turp is right too. I just I don't think 692 00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:49.519 they're going to be able to do that two consecutive 693 00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:51.960 seasons close to the level that they did last year. 694 00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:56.359 I'm not a smart man, said for Eric Balkman, and 695 00:31:56.400 --> 00:31:59.480 I'll tell you I think that sometimes it just comes 696 00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:02.240 down to some regression to the mean. I can't explain it. 697 00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:06.359 I'm sure if I poured over documents and data and analytics, 698 00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:08.400 I probably find out reasons for it. This is why 699 00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:10.200 we have pros, because they can tell me how to 700 00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:11.960 think about it. But I just look at it from 701 00:32:11.960 --> 00:32:15.839 the sense of I think wanting to do what they 702 00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:18.240 did last year is the plan. But I don't know 703 00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:20.039 if they'll be able to execute the plan as well 704 00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:22.960 as they did in twenty twenty four. That's my take 705 00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:25.960 on it. And we'll see what happens. Obviously in what 706 00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:29.400 five weeks, maybe less than six weeks. I think it's 707 00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:30.440 right around five weeks. 708 00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:33.480 Right in Las Vegas. Can't wait. Yeah, I'm so ready 709 00:32:33.559 --> 00:32:34.960 for that Eagles. 710 00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:37.880 Cowboys Thursday night at Paris, which is going to be 711 00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:40.200 a lot of fun in Las Vegas. 712 00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:40.920 Guys. 713 00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:43.119 I want to get to our next guest here tonight. 714 00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:48.759 He is another multi league champion in the FFPC. He 715 00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:52.599 is drafting from the five spot tonight between Andrew Cooper 716 00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:55.319 and Connor Allen from four for four. Let's bring him 717 00:32:55.359 --> 00:32:58.119 on right now, Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome on to 718 00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:03.160 the HSFF our airwaves, mister Greg Link, Greg, welcome aboard, 719 00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:06.279 Thanks for joining us tonight. You are six rounds into this, 720 00:33:06.359 --> 00:33:08.000 about to be on the clock. How do you feel 721 00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:09.160 about this squad so far? 722 00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:14.160 Good evening, gentlemen. I'm feeling a little short changed. 723 00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:16.480 I had a bunch of guys that got sniped from me, 724 00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:20.359 you know, especially in the second round, coming back literally 725 00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:23.079 in a row. I wanted Thomas, I wanted Kittle, and 726 00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:26.079 I just couldn't get a thing. So I'm feeling okay. 727 00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:29.839 I feel like it's a safe team outside of Trevon Henderson. 728 00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:32.480 So you know, like I said, I'm going to try 729 00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:34.680 to try to go for some upside. I'm sure Turp 730 00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:36.319 would agree with that. I think my team needs a 731 00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:37.799 little bit of a little bit of juice. 732 00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:39.640 I love your team. I think your team got plenty 733 00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:40.079 of juice. 734 00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:42.839 I appreciate it. Yeah, but I got some got some 735 00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:44.920 ones I want to hit on later. So trying to 736 00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:48.079 decide right now. It's kind of a tough spot right now. 737 00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:49.440 You know, you almost feel like you need to go 738 00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:52.400 tight in right but kind of looking into the list 739 00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:55.200 and nothing's really sexy right now with Mark Andrews and 740 00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:58.400 you know some of them. So I think I'm probably 741 00:33:58.440 --> 00:34:01.039 gonna have to go back to running back here and 742 00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:03.079 go with Tony Pollard. 743 00:34:03.720 --> 00:34:06.440 Tony Pollard is the pick for Greg Link here at 744 00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:09.400 the seven h five, and this is your third running 745 00:34:09.400 --> 00:34:11.599 back that you drafted. Now, I will I'll push back 746 00:34:11.639 --> 00:34:14.800 on like I don't Jamior Gibbs. I mean, granted, maybe 747 00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:17.280 he's a safe pick, but he's an explosive pick. You 748 00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:19.599 mentioned Henderson is not being safe, and I think that's 749 00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:22.639 another explosive player. We already talked about AJ Brown and 750 00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:24.519 why he could be in for a big season. There's 751 00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:27.000 a big bounce back on Tyreek Kill right now. Greg 752 00:34:27.320 --> 00:34:31.840 that among the FFPC drafters that that maybe Hill was 753 00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:33.840 undervalued about a month or so ago, and now he's 754 00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:37.960 being properly valued. You have Chris Olave too, which people 755 00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:41.480 underestimate how good that guy can be, given how good 756 00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:44.000 he already has been throughout his career. He stays on 757 00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:45.920 the field. That could be a big pick. So I 758 00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:49.320 don't know, man like, Yes, there are some certain safe 759 00:34:49.320 --> 00:34:51.400 picks on this team, but I also think you have 760 00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:54.800 some explosive difference makers. That could be the difference between 761 00:34:54.840 --> 00:34:57.280 you getting a pair of socks from the KFFFC and 762 00:34:57.360 --> 00:34:59.519 a free FFPC main event this year too. 763 00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:04.039 I don't want to finish second, So yeah, it's it's. 764 00:35:03.880 --> 00:35:06.440 The best consolation prize ever is getting a pair of 765 00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:09.639 soxs apparel. You and you would mentioned the tight end 766 00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:12.480 and you went away from it just nobody you liked 767 00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:14.119 enough there that you could pull the trigger and just 768 00:35:14.199 --> 00:35:15.760 rather to build your running back up. 769 00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:18.440 No, yeah, no one that I feel great about. I've 770 00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:19.360 got some ones I want. 771 00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:20.920 I think I can wait a little bit now that 772 00:35:21.239 --> 00:35:23.199 you know, ask me around from now when two or 773 00:35:23.199 --> 00:35:25.199 three of those guys are gone and I'll be wishing 774 00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:27.679 I had taken one. But as of right now, yeah, 775 00:35:27.679 --> 00:35:29.239 I've kind of got them. Tiered a little bit and 776 00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:31.199 got two or three coming up that I think I 777 00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:33.199 can pick from that I think will get good production. 778 00:35:33.320 --> 00:35:36.360 But it's always so tough for me. I saw last 779 00:35:36.440 --> 00:35:40.079 night's draft. Fifth pick went to Ors just we first 780 00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:43.639 pick for the guy in my spot took Trey McBride, 781 00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:46.159 and I just I just couldn't see myself doing it, 782 00:35:46.280 --> 00:35:49.000 you know, obviously for Bowers, but he didn't make it 783 00:35:49.039 --> 00:35:49.400 that far. 784 00:35:49.519 --> 00:35:51.119 So kind of thought. 785 00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:53.440 About a couple of builds going into this and kind 786 00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:55.639 of got blown up within the first three or four picks. 787 00:35:55.760 --> 00:35:57.719 So it's gotta have to pivot and reroute. 788 00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:01.840 So Bowers you were hoping for, it didn't happen. McBride 789 00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:04.280 was too early. You mentioned getting sniped on some other picks, 790 00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:06.599 and I'm sorry if you mentioned who are the ones 791 00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:09.800 that you were hoping to get that didn't fall your way? 792 00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:13.920 Sure on the second round coming back, you can see Collins, Thomas, 793 00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:16.400 Kittle went one, two, three right before me, and I 794 00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:18.880 would have I had all those lined up. I actually 795 00:36:18.880 --> 00:36:22.079 wanted Kittle. Ideally didn't think that Thomas would fall or 796 00:36:22.159 --> 00:36:24.679 Nico would fall to me, so would have had a 797 00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:26.760 nice little quandary there if they all were there, But 798 00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:28.199 I mean, I'm not surprised. 799 00:36:28.239 --> 00:36:29.639 I've got a lot of good people in this draft. 800 00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:31.239 They know what they're doing, and like I said, the 801 00:36:31.320 --> 00:36:33.119 Joe's are not as good as the pros because they 802 00:36:33.199 --> 00:36:35.400 listen to them. They follow them every time, every day, 803 00:36:35.440 --> 00:36:37.639 every season. So you know, again, I think we're all 804 00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:38.599 kind of even right now. 805 00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:42.480 Getting getting back to the Pollard pick, Greg, what do 806 00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:44.199 you think the split is going to be like in 807 00:36:44.239 --> 00:36:47.039 Tennessee this year with a new quarterback in cam Ward? 808 00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:48.440 What do you think the split is going to be 809 00:36:48.440 --> 00:36:50.360 in that backfield between Pollard and Spears. 810 00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:53.159 I think we know that anytime you have a rookie quarterback, 811 00:36:53.239 --> 00:36:54.920 you want a tight end or a running back as 812 00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:57.920 they're like security blanket, right, And so for me, I 813 00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:00.480 do think I think it's going to be probably set 814 00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:03.960 Thy Spears is very valuable. I mean, he'd be a 815 00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:06.119 great late round guy to get He gets catches out 816 00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:09.519 of backfield, He's fast, you know, So honestly, I think 817 00:37:09.599 --> 00:37:12.199 Paulo seventy thirty, but I definitely think he has some 818 00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:14.239 upside because I think cam Wwoard's going to take his 819 00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:16.320 lumps and you know he's going to be handing the ball. 820 00:37:16.159 --> 00:37:16.719 Off a lot. 821 00:37:18.239 --> 00:37:20.239 Greg, how did you, because I know you you are 822 00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:24.480 not a heavy volume early drafting season drafter, how did 823 00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:27.079 you sort of prep for this pros versus Joe's draft tonight? 824 00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:31.760 Watching a lot of watching a lot of best ball 825 00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:36.159 videos also, you know, watching kind of the the rider 826 00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:39.559 and follower to the ADP, you know. So so for me, 827 00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:42.360 I mean, best Ball is not the main thing I do, 828 00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:44.599 but I do do it, and so honestly, it was 829 00:37:44.719 --> 00:37:47.000 just it's tough for me to draft. 830 00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:48.599 This early and know that my guys are going to 831 00:37:48.639 --> 00:37:49.639 make it that they're going to be healthy. 832 00:37:49.679 --> 00:37:51.719 I come out to Vegas every year for the first 833 00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:54.079 week and the football start, so I may, yeah, I 834 00:37:54.159 --> 00:37:57.519 do main events on the Thursday and also do do 835 00:37:57.639 --> 00:38:01.599 the bracket tournament as well, and so I like drafting 836 00:38:01.639 --> 00:38:03.039 literally a day before the season. 837 00:38:03.119 --> 00:38:05.480 So it's a little difficult for me because you know, 838 00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:06.599 Tyrek Hill, who. 839 00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:08.480 Knows you know, honestly, he could be arrested by the 840 00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:11.440 time the season starts. 841 00:38:11.559 --> 00:38:11.800 Chris A. 842 00:38:11.880 --> 00:38:14.960 Lobby's one sneeze away from not playing for the season. 843 00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:18.519 So I've got some issues, you know, that I'm concerned about. 844 00:38:18.519 --> 00:38:19.840 But hopefully my guys will make. 845 00:38:19.719 --> 00:38:24.159 It Greg one final question here and maybe two. We'll 846 00:38:24.159 --> 00:38:26.960 see if we get back to you here. Through seven 847 00:38:27.079 --> 00:38:29.800 rounds of this twenty round draft, you have three running backs, 848 00:38:29.800 --> 00:38:33.239 you have four receivers. Does this change the way that 849 00:38:33.280 --> 00:38:35.679 you handle the quarterback in tight end position the rest 850 00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:36.079 of the way? 851 00:38:36.599 --> 00:38:40.360 Absolutely? Absolutely, Yeah. I mean it's gonna come down to value. Obviously, 852 00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:41.679 he's gonna come down to the guys that I can 853 00:38:41.719 --> 00:38:43.960 see running back and receivers in the next couple of rounds. 854 00:38:43.960 --> 00:38:45.440 I got a bunch of guys that are earmarked, but 855 00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:47.360 I'm gonna have to go at some point in time 856 00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:49.960 for quarterback. But honestly, not too many have gone off 857 00:38:49.960 --> 00:38:53.159 the board, you know, in a while, so I feel like, 858 00:38:53.239 --> 00:38:54.480 you know, maybe I can wait a little bit on that. 859 00:38:54.519 --> 00:38:55.920 I want to get my strategy away, but you know, 860 00:38:55.920 --> 00:38:58.039 I might be able to wait on quarterback. But yeah, 861 00:38:58.039 --> 00:38:59.639 I'm gonna have to start loading up on tight end 862 00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:02.440 next two or three picks, you know, maybe kind of 863 00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:04.280 go back to back or two out of the next 864 00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:06.039 three picks being tight end, just to kind of get 865 00:39:06.119 --> 00:39:07.320 you know, some value there. 866 00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:08.079 You know. 867 00:39:09.039 --> 00:39:12.519 Bart Starr, old Packers quarterback, used to say that he 868 00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:15.840 didn't start playing well in games until he got hit 869 00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:18.320 and knocked down a few times by the defensive linement. 870 00:39:18.400 --> 00:39:20.679 That's when he really picked it up. And I think, Greg, 871 00:39:20.760 --> 00:39:22.760 you have the advantage because you just said you're drafting 872 00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:25.280 live in Las Vegas in the Super Bracket tournament on 873 00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:26.840 the start of the day at the start of the 874 00:39:26.960 --> 00:39:30.599 NFL season. Now you've already been sniped several times. You've 875 00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:33.639 already been hit. So like when you're drafting live in Vegas, 876 00:39:33.679 --> 00:39:36.719 when there are no sleepers, when everybody's sniping everybody, I'm 877 00:39:36.760 --> 00:39:38.320 not going to bother you a bit because you're already 878 00:39:38.320 --> 00:39:40.480 in mid season four man correct. 879 00:39:40.519 --> 00:39:43.559 I will say the one thing that I will say 880 00:39:43.559 --> 00:39:46.960 that you benefit from drafting live is that people get 881 00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:51.079 nervous people, you know, over thinking people want their dudes 882 00:39:51.119 --> 00:39:53.159 and they go get him and they might reach. There 883 00:39:53.159 --> 00:39:55.960 are a lot of times value false especially in the early rounds. 884 00:39:55.960 --> 00:39:57.719 It's not just about middle and late. Yeah, you can 885 00:39:57.719 --> 00:40:00.679 obviously win there, but if you can, if you can 886 00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:02.679 get like I had Derek Henry fall to me in 887 00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:04.400 the second round last year in the main event when 888 00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:05.880 I was there in Vegas, and I mean I ended 889 00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:08.519 up being huge for me to win my league, and so, 890 00:40:08.840 --> 00:40:11.480 you know, I think it's it's really about fantasy IQ, right, 891 00:40:11.519 --> 00:40:13.760 It's about knowing who you draft against, the same dudes 892 00:40:13.800 --> 00:40:16.480 are in that super bracket tournament every Vegas. 893 00:40:16.519 --> 00:40:18.480 I know exactly who they are, I know exactly what 894 00:40:18.519 --> 00:40:18.960 they want. 895 00:40:19.239 --> 00:40:20.920 And so depending on where I am in the draft, 896 00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:23.239 that does dictate like do I need to reach for someone, 897 00:40:23.280 --> 00:40:24.519 Because if I've got someone on. 898 00:40:24.440 --> 00:40:27.239 Me my right, that's pretty smart. I might have to 899 00:40:27.239 --> 00:40:28.639 go a little early when I don't want to. 900 00:40:28.679 --> 00:40:30.400 If I have somebody that I'm like, yeah, he doesn't 901 00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:32.840 have any clue what he's doing, I might wait, you know, 902 00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:34.760 And so sometimes it works out, sometimes it does. 903 00:40:34.880 --> 00:40:37.239 But I think fantasy IQ is very important in drafts. 904 00:40:38.599 --> 00:40:41.559 Connor Allen is drafting next to you, Greg. He has 905 00:40:41.639 --> 00:40:44.559 taken four straight receivers. He is on neck. You're in 906 00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:47.599 the hole right now, tell us kind of and like, 907 00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:51.760 you know, feel free to keep you know to yourself 908 00:40:51.800 --> 00:40:53.679 what you want to keep to yourself here. But what's 909 00:40:53.760 --> 00:40:55.519 kind of going through your mind here is you're in 910 00:40:55.559 --> 00:40:59.000 the hole, two picks away from making your eighth round pick. 911 00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:02.519 So it comes down to what do I really want 912 00:41:02.519 --> 00:41:04.800 to reach for another running back or receiver right now, 913 00:41:05.599 --> 00:41:06.760 and all right, let's see what coo. 914 00:41:06.840 --> 00:41:10.159 All right, let's see what Connor does. That's gonna be. Yeah, 915 00:41:10.360 --> 00:41:11.119 some of the good. 916 00:41:11.199 --> 00:41:13.679 Kind of running backs like Scatterbow and stuff like that 917 00:41:13.719 --> 00:41:15.480 would be ones I'd like to reach for here. But 918 00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:18.440 you know, obviously that's not gonna happen. So you know, 919 00:41:18.960 --> 00:41:21.800 gonna have to pivot to one of the two positions 920 00:41:21.840 --> 00:41:22.599 I don't have yet. 921 00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:23.119 How about that? 922 00:41:23.719 --> 00:41:25.840 There you go, and that makes sense in Connor Allen, 923 00:41:25.880 --> 00:41:27.960 by the way, I said, he drafted four straight receivers. 924 00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:30.199 He took Lamb in the first round, so through seven 925 00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:33.440 rounds he's got five receivers. He does have the tight end. 926 00:41:33.519 --> 00:41:35.559 He's only got one running back. We'll see what he 927 00:41:35.599 --> 00:41:38.280 does here. But again, as I think Rob was tightening 928 00:41:38.480 --> 00:41:40.559 or Greg maybe I can't remember when it was, Coop 929 00:41:40.679 --> 00:41:43.079 was talking about this to start off, the starting lineup 930 00:41:43.079 --> 00:41:45.559 in this one quarterback, two running backs, two receivers, a 931 00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:47.519 tight end, and two flowers. Okay, you can go a 932 00:41:47.559 --> 00:41:50.000 lot of different ways. Now Connor Allen ends up going 933 00:41:50.039 --> 00:41:53.599 with another receiver here, loading up and uh pissing yellow. 934 00:41:53.599 --> 00:41:56.559 As Peter Roversett would say, he's got six wide receivers. 935 00:41:56.559 --> 00:42:00.000 Here you are now on the clock, Greg, four seconds 936 00:42:00.159 --> 00:42:02.199 to go. Let's go through your mind here, What's what 937 00:42:02.519 --> 00:42:03.360 are you thinking here? 938 00:42:04.199 --> 00:42:05.880 I'm gonna go tight end here. 939 00:42:06.039 --> 00:42:08.880 I'm gonna try to look for a tight end that's got, 940 00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:12.159 you know, not necessarily upside per se, but it's gonna 941 00:42:12.199 --> 00:42:12.880 be a solid play. 942 00:42:12.920 --> 00:42:14.199 Like I look at some of the ones out here 943 00:42:14.239 --> 00:42:14.559 now and. 944 00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:16.960 I'm seeing kin Kaid and you know, Johnny Smith, and 945 00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:19.679 I'm a Steeler fan and I'm not I'm not sold 946 00:42:19.679 --> 00:42:20.360 on that just yet. 947 00:42:20.360 --> 00:42:21.800 I don't care how good he looks in camp. 948 00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:25.119 So I think I'm gonna have to go for someone 949 00:42:25.119 --> 00:42:27.920 who I think has got, you know, got good upside, 950 00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:28.880 He's in a good offense. 951 00:42:28.920 --> 00:42:30.800 They spread the ball around. I think I'm gonna go 952 00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:32.039 with Jake Ferguson. 953 00:42:32.440 --> 00:42:36.079 Ferguson, there you go. Ferguson's gonna be interesting this year too, 954 00:42:36.159 --> 00:42:38.400 because I know there's a lot of people that are 955 00:42:38.400 --> 00:42:41.440 sold on George Pickens being the number two target getter 956 00:42:41.639 --> 00:42:44.440 in in Dallas. And like Lee Corso would say, not 957 00:42:44.519 --> 00:42:46.719 so fast, my friend, I think we got to remember 958 00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:49.480 there as well, especially in a tight end premium format, 959 00:42:49.519 --> 00:42:52.360 that could prove to be a very apprecient pick here 960 00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:55.639 by you, Greg, Greg Link. Ladies and gentlemen, Greg Will 961 00:42:55.719 --> 00:42:57.519 we'll send you off to let you enjoy the rest 962 00:42:57.519 --> 00:42:58.960 of the draft. Good Luck the rest of the way, 963 00:42:59.320 --> 00:43:01.400 good luck at drafting season, and we'll see you out 964 00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:04.400 at Paris in Las Vegas this September. 965 00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:06.599 Man, that sounds great, appreciate it. Thanks guys. 966 00:43:06.800 --> 00:43:09.679 That is ladies and gentlemen hanging out with us tonight 967 00:43:10.119 --> 00:43:12.760 on the High Stakes Fantasy Football over Farrel Elliott, Dave 968 00:43:13.199 --> 00:43:16.440 Chipoli joining me Eric Balkman for live coverage of Night 969 00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:20.199 two of the Pros Versus Joes. I was just gonna 970 00:43:20.199 --> 00:43:24.400 say regarding the tight end here, Farrell Ferguson was Greg's 971 00:43:24.400 --> 00:43:29.920 first pick. Sometime first tight end selection was Ferguson. You 972 00:43:29.920 --> 00:43:34.719 already had mcbriden, Kelsey, Drake, and Donnelly in the in 973 00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:37.559 the eighth spot from Fantasy points. They loaded up and 974 00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:40.519 got two tight ends within the first five rounds. Farrell, 975 00:43:40.559 --> 00:43:43.199 When you're drafting out at Paris and you're drafting FFPC 976 00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:46.400 drafts and you see somebody draft two tight ends before 977 00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:48.920 you have one, how much does that affect how you 978 00:43:48.960 --> 00:43:50.480 want to attack the tight end position. 979 00:43:51.159 --> 00:43:53.599 It likely is not going to happen because I attacked 980 00:43:53.599 --> 00:43:58.000 the tight end position very aggressively. I probably overplay a 981 00:43:58.039 --> 00:44:00.639 little bit for the position to get the first first one, 982 00:44:01.079 --> 00:44:06.280 and then if it falls to me, if they're later 983 00:44:06.480 --> 00:44:09.360 off the board, I'll quickly take the second one. And 984 00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:14.360 it's it's proved. It's proven to be in our FFPC 985 00:44:14.599 --> 00:44:18.880 format for me, such a nice crutch to lean on 986 00:44:19.599 --> 00:44:23.280 U to have the dual flex and to play both 987 00:44:23.320 --> 00:44:26.920 those players. So, because there's just so many wide receivers 988 00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:29.559 that that I love, and as you know, my favorite 989 00:44:29.559 --> 00:44:33.280 wide receiver hasn't even been drafted yet, so we're in 990 00:44:34.079 --> 00:44:37.440 no matter what. There's so there's so many wide receivers 991 00:44:37.800 --> 00:44:41.760 that it just I figure I can find those guys 992 00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:45.079 and uh so, but you can't find these tdeas. 993 00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:45.239 Now. 994 00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:47.639 I love Ferguson. He did not find the end zone 995 00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:50.559 last year. It came on these shows with Terp. One 996 00:44:50.599 --> 00:44:52.719 of the things Turp and I could agree on is 997 00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:57.400 that Ferguson would be a massive red zone target for Dallas. 998 00:44:57.519 --> 00:44:59.519 Last year. You never found the end zone, but he 999 00:44:59.599 --> 00:45:02.599 still fifty nine balls and he was he was not 1000 00:45:02.760 --> 00:45:05.440 physically prepared to play a lot of football. So I 1001 00:45:05.480 --> 00:45:09.639 think I think our mister link scored really big here. 1002 00:45:11.239 --> 00:45:14.840 Clearly Joe van Goh watching the broadcast to night as 1003 00:45:14.880 --> 00:45:19.920 he selects Michael Pittman as Joe at the nine. Good 1004 00:45:19.960 --> 00:45:22.599 good job on him to get him there. We also 1005 00:45:22.679 --> 00:45:27.280 had this comment from the fantasy soprano himself, Stephen de Grgalos, Dave, 1006 00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:29.800 Team two and Team six is gonna beat each other 1007 00:45:29.960 --> 00:45:32.320 up at running back in the second half, Turk, What 1008 00:45:32.360 --> 00:45:34.239 do you make of that? That's Blair Andrews at the 1009 00:45:34.239 --> 00:45:36.840 two spot. That's Connor Allen from the six spot. Both 1010 00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:40.119 guys have hopped aboard with me on FFPC Insider Access. 1011 00:45:40.159 --> 00:45:43.000 Really smart guys, obviously, they know what they're talking about. 1012 00:45:43.719 --> 00:45:46.599 Their their choice in co hosting a show as maybe 1013 00:45:46.639 --> 00:45:49.159 a little misguided that they would hang out with me 1014 00:45:49.239 --> 00:45:51.639 for two hours, But I'd say their fantasy football chops 1015 00:45:51.800 --> 00:45:54.840 are excellent. What do you make of Blair Andrews drafting 1016 00:45:55.280 --> 00:45:57.920 six receivers in the first eight rounds and Connor Allen 1017 00:45:57.960 --> 00:45:58.880 doing the exact same thing? 1018 00:45:58.920 --> 00:46:02.360 Turn my favorite team so far? I mean, I think 1019 00:46:02.400 --> 00:46:05.559 six is probably my favorite draft so far. I know, 1020 00:46:05.679 --> 00:46:07.880 like the one running back thing. Obviously, Chase Brown, who 1021 00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:10.679 who I love and will draft as much as I can. 1022 00:46:11.079 --> 00:46:13.079 Those receivers I'm all a big fan of you know, 1023 00:46:13.119 --> 00:46:15.760 you're talking about getting Lamb, getting more, getting Wild, getting 1024 00:46:15.800 --> 00:46:18.800 Ridley Jennings, all favorites of mine, Jayden Reid. It makes 1025 00:46:18.840 --> 00:46:20.719 a ton of sense. If you're trying to buy a packer, 1026 00:46:20.760 --> 00:46:24.599 it's probably gonna be read Rock Perdy gives you the upside, 1027 00:46:24.639 --> 00:46:27.679 gives you the stack with you know, with Jennings, I 1028 00:46:27.760 --> 00:46:30.159 love what Team six did. Team two same, same, pretty 1029 00:46:30.239 --> 00:46:33.760 much lockstep Jonathan Taylor. You know, if if Daniel Jones 1030 00:46:33.760 --> 00:46:36.800 the quarterback is much better, getting Bowers is the elite 1031 00:46:36.840 --> 00:46:40.000 tight end. Those receivers, you know, whether you like them 1032 00:46:40.079 --> 00:46:43.000 or not, you know, they're all guys that have potential 1033 00:46:43.039 --> 00:46:45.480 to break out. And then getting Jayleen Warren to start 1034 00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:48.039 your running back two committee, it makes a ton of sense. 1035 00:46:48.079 --> 00:46:50.039 There are two teams I think had great drafts so far. 1036 00:46:51.119 --> 00:46:52.199 I approve both. 1037 00:46:53.159 --> 00:46:56.119 I think Team two has the better receivers. 1038 00:46:56.599 --> 00:46:59.800 I don't agree. I'm steedee Lamb. 1039 00:47:02.440 --> 00:47:02.719 Boy. 1040 00:47:02.760 --> 00:47:03.480 It's close. 1041 00:47:04.119 --> 00:47:06.800 Yeah, well okay, I'm sorry, Turp. Yeah, take c D. 1042 00:47:07.000 --> 00:47:09.440 Lamb out of it. Go down here to the middle 1043 00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:11.800 group of receivers that were selected. 1044 00:47:13.039 --> 00:47:16.519 Would agree, Yeah, I don't know. I still probably take 1045 00:47:16.559 --> 00:47:18.920 I'll still probably take Team six, but it's not by 1046 00:47:18.920 --> 00:47:19.159 a lot. 1047 00:47:19.239 --> 00:47:19.800 It's close. 1048 00:47:20.320 --> 00:47:22.760 Look at the types of receivers that that Connor Allen 1049 00:47:22.840 --> 00:47:25.320 is drafted here at six, like you have DJ Moore. 1050 00:47:26.440 --> 00:47:28.599 He is in kind of a nebulous spot right like 1051 00:47:28.639 --> 00:47:31.000 because of the addition of Luther Burden and Colston Lovelin 1052 00:47:31.039 --> 00:47:33.000 and new coaching staff, and we know that the Bears 1053 00:47:33.039 --> 00:47:34.719 had to talk to him about his attitude last year. 1054 00:47:34.719 --> 00:47:36.920 I mean, I don't know what's gonna happen there. Jalen Wattle. 1055 00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:38.800 I can tell myself the story of how that dude's 1056 00:47:38.800 --> 00:47:41.159 a top fifteen receiver this year. I can also see 1057 00:47:41.199 --> 00:47:45.000 him not finishing in the top forty. Ridley Brand new quarterback, 1058 00:47:45.599 --> 00:47:48.760 how's his chemistry gonna work with Cam wod Juwan Jennings, 1059 00:47:48.760 --> 00:47:50.760 same thing. I mean, all these guys have warts on 1060 00:47:50.760 --> 00:47:51.239 this team. 1061 00:47:51.360 --> 00:47:51.599 Now. 1062 00:47:51.840 --> 00:47:54.559 I guess I could say the same thing about about 1063 00:47:54.559 --> 00:47:57.800 Blair Andrews squad like JSN. Yeah, he's a third round 1064 00:47:57.800 --> 00:47:59.519 pick and he's probably gonna pay off on that. But 1065 00:47:59.559 --> 00:48:01.679 at the same time time, they fired the o C 1066 00:48:01.880 --> 00:48:04.000 last year because he passed too much and they want 1067 00:48:04.039 --> 00:48:05.800 to run the ball more, how does that affect Smith 1068 00:48:05.800 --> 00:48:08.519 and Jigba Flowers. We already talked about Smith, We already 1069 00:48:08.559 --> 00:48:10.840 talked about Jerry Judy. I mean, there's this ground swell 1070 00:48:10.920 --> 00:48:13.760 for Cedric Tillman right now. Obviously Deontay Johnson there too, 1071 00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:16.679 kind of gumming up the works. Romo Junez eight. I mean, 1072 00:48:16.800 --> 00:48:18.559 I was just listening to Sean Siegal talk about this 1073 00:48:18.599 --> 00:48:22.199 the other day, that this guy is in a could 1074 00:48:22.239 --> 00:48:25.199 be in a high bust territory based on all the 1075 00:48:25.239 --> 00:48:28.119 other pass catchers in Chicago this year. 1076 00:48:28.679 --> 00:48:29.320 And then Downs. 1077 00:48:29.360 --> 00:48:31.239 I think I think all three of us like Downs, 1078 00:48:31.280 --> 00:48:36.800 but Farrell's obviously team Pittman. But okay, so so am 1079 00:48:36.840 --> 00:48:38.400 I the only guy that likes Josh Downs. 1080 00:48:38.440 --> 00:48:40.760 I think Downs is I don't mind Josh Downs, but 1081 00:48:40.800 --> 00:48:42.639 I probably will pass on him more than most. 1082 00:48:42.920 --> 00:48:45.159 Yeah, I don't think of the eighth round draft pick, 1083 00:48:45.239 --> 00:48:48.039 the seventy catch guy with five touchdowns, and that's what 1084 00:48:48.159 --> 00:48:50.599 I think he'll usually be through his career. And that's 1085 00:48:50.599 --> 00:48:52.400 a great football player, but I don't think that's going 1086 00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:55.840 to get it done for you to win this tournament. 1087 00:48:55.880 --> 00:48:58.000 Pittman has a potential in the history of being one 1088 00:48:58.039 --> 00:48:59.000 hundred cash receiver. 1089 00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:03.199 So and so let me let me bring this up 1090 00:49:03.199 --> 00:49:05.880 in pharall. I apologize Turp. We have not talked about 1091 00:49:05.920 --> 00:49:08.480 this yet, but I know Farrell and I think Farrell 1092 00:49:08.519 --> 00:49:14.719 and I did so. Michael Pittman year two in the NFL, 1093 00:49:15.599 --> 00:49:19.239 eighty eight for one thousand, eighty two, year three, ninety 1094 00:49:19.320 --> 00:49:22.000 nine for nine twenty five, year four, one hundred and 1095 00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:25.800 nine for eleven hundred and fifty two, year five, sixty 1096 00:49:25.920 --> 00:49:28.679 nine for eight aweight. But bear in mind he was 1097 00:49:28.719 --> 00:49:31.800 playing last season with a broken back back, you know, 1098 00:49:31.960 --> 00:49:33.719 and he and sixty nine. 1099 00:49:33.599 --> 00:49:34.840 For eight awaight with a broken back. 1100 00:49:35.039 --> 00:49:37.360 Pharal. If I have a broken back, I ain't moving 1101 00:49:37.400 --> 00:49:40.039 for six months. Michael Pittman played a football season with 1102 00:49:40.079 --> 00:49:40.559 a broke. 1103 00:49:41.159 --> 00:49:45.480 In this format especially, you might want to take tough players, 1104 00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:49.800 guys to play hurt. You know. It's it's availability, the 1105 00:49:49.840 --> 00:49:51.840 greatest ability, and I got it. 1106 00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:54.920 My easy answer with Pittman is there's no guarantee that 1107 00:49:55.000 --> 00:49:56.760 Josh down is going to be on the field for 1108 00:49:56.800 --> 00:49:59.000 the full time. They have a bunch of other guys 1109 00:49:59.039 --> 00:50:01.480 are going to rotate in one thing that's almost guaranteed. 1110 00:50:01.559 --> 00:50:04.880 Andrew Cooper said it perfectly is Michael Pittman is going 1111 00:50:04.920 --> 00:50:06.519 to be out there one hundred percent of the time, 1112 00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:09.239 so he's gonna have all the opportunities possible to be 1113 00:50:09.280 --> 00:50:12.960 out there. Josh Downs, he's playing full time. Hey, the 1114 00:50:13.039 --> 00:50:16.119 upside's there, but I don't see that day being here 1115 00:50:16.159 --> 00:50:18.719 anytime soon. And we still have the Daniel Jones Anthony 1116 00:50:18.760 --> 00:50:21.880 Richardson question out there. So to me, if I'm drafting 1117 00:50:21.880 --> 00:50:25.480 a coult receiver, all things considered, where they're being drafted, 1118 00:50:25.519 --> 00:50:26.360 it's Pittman for me. 1119 00:50:26.400 --> 00:50:29.800 Ever, downs it could be a steal, you know, a 1120 00:50:29.920 --> 00:50:30.760 ninth round pick. 1121 00:50:30.840 --> 00:50:34.079 Yeah, I mean, I'm not saying I'm not downgrading Downs, 1122 00:50:34.119 --> 00:50:36.159 but to me, there's a lot more things that have 1123 00:50:36.199 --> 00:50:38.280 to go right for downs, and there are catch. 1124 00:50:38.119 --> 00:50:39.960 Guy and Boky. Based on the way you broke down 1125 00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:42.280 the receivers here, well, this draft should have drafted some 1126 00:50:42.360 --> 00:50:44.480 damn running backs, a tight end, and a quarterback. 1127 00:50:45.920 --> 00:50:49.360 Well, I mean, I'm having some fun here because obviously 1128 00:50:49.800 --> 00:50:52.679 we are in an area in the draft where everybody's 1129 00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:54.880 got warts and and nobody. I mean, if these guys 1130 00:50:54.960 --> 00:50:57.599 were perfect, they'd be second and third round picks, not 1131 00:50:57.639 --> 00:50:59.599 eighth and ninth round picks. Turp let me ask you 1132 00:50:59.639 --> 00:51:02.840 about Tillman. I just brought him up here there. There's 1133 00:51:02.920 --> 00:51:07.800 some people really telling with you know, telling me i'd 1134 00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:10.639 be a podcast or I'm reading about it on the internet. 1135 00:51:10.639 --> 00:51:13.199 That not to sleep on Cedric Tillman with the Browns 1136 00:51:13.239 --> 00:51:16.360 this year. This is after Jerry Judy just went ham 1137 00:51:17.079 --> 00:51:18.880 on the rest of the league. After the trade to 1138 00:51:18.920 --> 00:51:24.400 Cleveland last year, you have a really ambiguous situation at quarterback. 1139 00:51:24.800 --> 00:51:26.840 What do you make of Cedric Tillman in the tenth 1140 00:51:26.920 --> 00:51:29.480 round who went to the King Scott Engel from Rotoballer here. 1141 00:51:30.360 --> 00:51:32.360 I'm a big fan of Edward Tillman. You know, he 1142 00:51:32.400 --> 00:51:34.000 was a guy like coming out of college. You know, 1143 00:51:34.039 --> 00:51:35.639 I really thought that, you know, once he got his 1144 00:51:35.639 --> 00:51:38.400 footing in the NFL, he'd be, you know, starting to 1145 00:51:38.400 --> 00:51:40.159 turn into a player. And you saw that little late 1146 00:51:40.239 --> 00:51:42.920 last year. I mean he really became what you know, 1147 00:51:43.000 --> 00:51:44.920 some people like myself thought he was going to be. 1148 00:51:45.320 --> 00:51:47.400 The only question is is the Cleveland Browns who was 1149 00:51:47.440 --> 00:51:50.320 playing quarterback? They're going to run the ball still, you know, 1150 00:51:50.360 --> 00:51:52.880 their offense is not exciting. Joe Flocko was never going 1151 00:51:52.960 --> 00:51:55.320 to start six, you know, seventeen games, and that's who 1152 00:51:55.320 --> 00:51:58.159 everybody wants to start. So you got these rookies, you're like, 1153 00:51:58.199 --> 00:52:00.760 you know, whether it's Gabriel, whether it's Kenny Picket, whether 1154 00:52:00.800 --> 00:52:03.559 it's Shador Sanders, which is probably not gonna happen. You know, 1155 00:52:04.719 --> 00:52:06.719 how do we have anything we could bank on with 1156 00:52:06.760 --> 00:52:09.320 Tillman being that high upside guy that we look for. 1157 00:52:10.239 --> 00:52:12.800 Is the possibility there? Yeah, Jerry Dewey's there and a joke, 1158 00:52:12.800 --> 00:52:15.480 who's there? They're not going anywhere? So to me, you know, 1159 00:52:15.599 --> 00:52:16.840 I like Tim him, but he used to be a 1160 00:52:16.880 --> 00:52:18.840 little cheaper. He's starting to get up there where he starts. 1161 00:52:18.880 --> 00:52:20.639 His name is starting to pop up in these puff 1162 00:52:20.679 --> 00:52:22.960 pieces that we always see, and he's starting to get 1163 00:52:22.960 --> 00:52:24.960 a little bit more expensive. I'll still have him. I 1164 00:52:25.000 --> 00:52:28.559 saw have a ton early. But it's hard to get 1165 00:52:28.639 --> 00:52:32.320 really excited about the Browns offense, even if Joe Flacco 1166 00:52:32.360 --> 00:52:35.079 is the quarterback, and you know, dude, can they can? 1167 00:52:35.079 --> 00:52:38.880 They can? Najoku, Judy and Tilman get there? I don't think. 1168 00:52:38.920 --> 00:52:41.880 So let me ask you guys some one word answer 1169 00:52:41.920 --> 00:52:46.920 on this question. Excuse me I'm getting for talking about 1170 00:52:46.920 --> 00:52:50.400 the Cleveland Browns quarterback situation, which I'm sure they are too. 1171 00:52:52.039 --> 00:52:54.159 I'm not going to ask you which quarterback it is? 1172 00:52:54.800 --> 00:53:00.239 But how many games does the quarterback that starts the 1173 00:53:00.280 --> 00:53:03.840 most games for the Browns this year start? In other words, 1174 00:53:04.239 --> 00:53:07.800 whatever quarterback starts for most games, how many will it 1175 00:53:07.840 --> 00:53:08.480 be this year? 1176 00:53:08.679 --> 00:53:10.400 Is it four? Is it seven? Is it ten? 1177 00:53:10.559 --> 00:53:12.679 Is a higher than ten? What do you guys say? 1178 00:53:14.559 --> 00:53:16.719 My number would be ten, My number will be ten. 1179 00:53:16.840 --> 00:53:19.000 I think Flacco gets there. I mean, I think he 1180 00:53:19.039 --> 00:53:21.599 starts unless the only person I could see lee now 1181 00:53:21.639 --> 00:53:25.039 Flacco is Dylan Gabriel. I don't see there being any guy. 1182 00:53:25.440 --> 00:53:27.320 You know, Kenny Pickett is not winning that job. And 1183 00:53:27.400 --> 00:53:29.280 if he does, world I. 1184 00:53:29.199 --> 00:53:31.039 Mean Leyland bye week, Welke. 1185 00:53:32.079 --> 00:53:34.440 Cleveland's bye week is nine nine. 1186 00:53:35.039 --> 00:53:37.280 But let's I think Turp's got the right numbers. Then, 1187 00:53:37.719 --> 00:53:43.119 you know, guys, just statistics football. We love we love 1188 00:53:43.239 --> 00:53:45.639 Josh Down's skill set. I don't love his size, but 1189 00:53:45.679 --> 00:53:49.079 I love his skill set. This has nothing to do 1190 00:53:49.159 --> 00:53:52.079 with Pittman. But we go back to the Zay Flowers 1191 00:53:52.159 --> 00:53:54.639 question that we had earlier, and you look up the 1192 00:53:54.719 --> 00:53:58.519 stats last year and you say nothing was working right 1193 00:53:58.559 --> 00:54:03.239 in the passing game there in Indianapolis. We'd all loves 1194 00:54:03.239 --> 00:54:06.159 eight flowers as I do. Ian Down's put up largely 1195 00:54:06.199 --> 00:54:09.639 the same stats, more yardage to flowers, but largely the 1196 00:54:09.679 --> 00:54:14.199 same stats. So you know, I can't too much complain 1197 00:54:14.280 --> 00:54:18.280 about Josh Dawns being picked four after or four rounds later. 1198 00:54:19.440 --> 00:54:22.159 So guys, I want to bring this up. Drew de 1199 00:54:22.239 --> 00:54:25.320 Luca chimes in coop with Engram in the seventh is 1200 00:54:25.400 --> 00:54:27.840 so on brand and I'm here for it. Still giddy 1201 00:54:27.840 --> 00:54:29.800 about getting him at the seven, twelve and the scott 1202 00:54:29.840 --> 00:54:32.360 Fish Bowl. Drew de Luca also pointed out, and this 1203 00:54:32.400 --> 00:54:34.760 is where I'm leading into my next question. Here, so 1204 00:54:34.880 --> 00:54:37.159 many great picks here across the board, but I'll show 1205 00:54:37.239 --> 00:54:40.440 some love to Team seven. Rubio, our good buddy, says, 1206 00:54:40.480 --> 00:54:43.400 I like Herma Joe's team at seven as well. Now 1207 00:54:43.639 --> 00:54:46.320 Team seven is Kyle Hoff and Ryan Heller. We haven't 1208 00:54:46.320 --> 00:54:49.159 talked a whole lot about their squad tonight, but guys, 1209 00:54:49.159 --> 00:54:49.920 what do you make of it? 1210 00:54:50.000 --> 00:54:50.239 Here? 1211 00:54:50.480 --> 00:54:52.519 He gets Lamar or I should say they get Lamar 1212 00:54:52.639 --> 00:54:55.719 Jackson at the three. They've kind of cobbled together this 1213 00:54:55.840 --> 00:54:59.119 backfield starting in round five with Connor r J. Harvey 1214 00:54:59.280 --> 00:55:02.519 and then Cam Ski and the receivers Justin Jefferson, Brian 1215 00:55:02.559 --> 00:55:05.599 Thomas obviously those guys are elite, and then you get 1216 00:55:05.719 --> 00:55:08.400 Xavier Worthy, you get Jakobe Myers, you get Khalil Shakir. 1217 00:55:08.559 --> 00:55:12.039 There's some stability in the back of the last two 1218 00:55:12.199 --> 00:55:14.440 wide receiver picks there, and then you got it. You 1219 00:55:14.480 --> 00:55:16.880 wait until round ten to take Goddard, which we'll see 1220 00:55:16.920 --> 00:55:18.559 what he does or what they do the rest of 1221 00:55:18.599 --> 00:55:20.920 the way here. But team seven getting some love on 1222 00:55:20.960 --> 00:55:21.719 YouTube right now. 1223 00:55:21.760 --> 00:55:26.719 Turt not for me at all. It's not a structure 1224 00:55:26.760 --> 00:55:29.039 that I love. I mean, you know, I love how 1225 00:55:29.079 --> 00:55:31.719 he started with Jefferson, Thomas and Lamar. You know I 1226 00:55:32.159 --> 00:55:34.480 love Worthy. You know that's a good pick. I don't 1227 00:55:34.519 --> 00:55:37.199 mind the running backs and Connor and Harvey. But then 1228 00:55:37.239 --> 00:55:40.719 after that, like your tight end position is extremely weak. 1229 00:55:40.719 --> 00:55:43.480 You're way behind the ball, I mean, non homer or 1230 00:55:43.480 --> 00:55:45.159 whatever you want to call it. Dallas Goddar, to me, 1231 00:55:45.239 --> 00:55:48.400 is not a good pick. There's other guys that present 1232 00:55:48.480 --> 00:55:51.039 more upside, Like what has to happen for Dallas Goddard 1233 00:55:51.079 --> 00:55:53.880 to get there, Brown Smith to get hurt and the 1234 00:55:53.880 --> 00:55:56.639 Eagles start throwing the ball more. That's a lot, a 1235 00:55:56.679 --> 00:55:58.880 lot of things that have to happen for God to 1236 00:55:58.920 --> 00:56:02.079 pay off, you know, being your your top tight end select. 1237 00:56:02.199 --> 00:56:04.800 That was a theme last night, turp And, Uh that 1238 00:56:04.920 --> 00:56:06.440 was that was a theme last night. And no one 1239 00:56:06.480 --> 00:56:09.320 would jog on the boat with me on that. And 1240 00:56:09.360 --> 00:56:12.639 I think it's just he's he's the he's the poor 1241 00:56:12.679 --> 00:56:15.039 man's equivalent to George Kittle. I think George Kittle the 1242 00:56:15.039 --> 00:56:16.800 greatest football player in the league, one of the top 1243 00:56:16.880 --> 00:56:19.880 George League. He's not the greatest fantasy football player in 1244 00:56:19.880 --> 00:56:23.079 the league. And then, you know, got it for different reasons. 1245 00:56:25.000 --> 00:56:27.639 I love that team with what they they went out 1246 00:56:27.679 --> 00:56:30.440 and did with Lamar Jackson. They're just a tight end short. 1247 00:56:30.599 --> 00:56:32.039 That's that's you know. 1248 00:56:32.000 --> 00:56:34.039 They're short in the running back room has a lot 1249 00:56:34.079 --> 00:56:34.679 of questions. 1250 00:56:34.920 --> 00:56:37.760 Yeah, okay, I'll talk about the running backs at a second here, 1251 00:56:37.760 --> 00:56:39.320 but I want to throw this at you. Joe King 1252 00:56:39.400 --> 00:56:41.719 just popped in YouTube with this. Let's take away the 1253 00:56:41.800 --> 00:56:45.400 Jacoby Myers pick here and let's replace it with Mark Andrews. 1254 00:56:45.440 --> 00:56:48.559 Now all of a sudden, Yeah, and you get that 1255 00:56:48.639 --> 00:56:51.280 stack with Lamar Jackson and Mark Andrews too. 1256 00:56:51.880 --> 00:56:53.480 Makes a ton of sense. It would make the team 1257 00:56:53.519 --> 00:56:54.199 totally different. 1258 00:56:55.079 --> 00:56:57.280 All right, So so the running backs, turp and And, 1259 00:56:57.360 --> 00:57:00.159 while I agree with you, in theory on this and 1260 00:57:01.199 --> 00:57:03.480 first place is getting a free main event team, and 1261 00:57:03.519 --> 00:57:06.159 with all due respect to the socks that Pharaoh will 1262 00:57:06.440 --> 00:57:10.519 be providing for the second place team, I'm going for first. R. J. 1263 00:57:10.719 --> 00:57:13.119 Harvey is the type of running back that, Yeah, Dobbins 1264 00:57:13.199 --> 00:57:15.280 might affect him, but I could also see how he 1265 00:57:15.320 --> 00:57:17.400 finishes in the top ten at running back this year. 1266 00:57:17.840 --> 00:57:19.960 Cam Scattabu is another guy. I don't know what to 1267 00:57:20.000 --> 00:57:22.000 make of this player, Like, I know what he did 1268 00:57:22.039 --> 00:57:25.719 in college. I know athleticism isn't exactly one of his 1269 00:57:25.760 --> 00:57:29.119 strong points, but sometimes athleticism doesn't matter. Some guys just 1270 00:57:29.239 --> 00:57:31.360 have it, and he might just have it. I'm not 1271 00:57:31.400 --> 00:57:34.119 saying he does, but I don't know what's gonna happen 1272 00:57:34.119 --> 00:57:35.400 when he gets to the next level. I don't really 1273 00:57:35.440 --> 00:57:38.280 have a good comparison for Skataboo, So what happens If 1274 00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:40.119 he's a top twenty running back or maybe even a 1275 00:57:40.119 --> 00:57:42.639 top fifteen running back this year, then all of a 1276 00:57:42.679 --> 00:57:44.519 sudden that running back room looks a lot better. 1277 00:57:44.599 --> 00:57:44.679 Now. 1278 00:57:44.719 --> 00:57:47.480 I'm not saying that that's going to happen at all, 1279 00:57:47.760 --> 00:57:49.719 but I can at least tell myself a story where 1280 00:57:49.760 --> 00:57:52.199 this running back build makes a little bit of sense. 1281 00:57:52.199 --> 00:57:55.119 Steph Miller chiming in on the same thing. She likes 1282 00:57:55.159 --> 00:57:57.719 the layers of the running backs here, inter but you 1283 00:57:57.760 --> 00:57:59.400 may not like it, but you can at least admit 1284 00:57:59.440 --> 00:58:01.280 here that there is a path for this team. 1285 00:58:01.599 --> 00:58:04.239 There's definitely a path. I mean, obviously you need, you know, 1286 00:58:04.280 --> 00:58:06.360 a little bit more things right than the other teams 1287 00:58:06.360 --> 00:58:08.639 that I like, but there's definitely a path to get there. 1288 00:58:08.719 --> 00:58:11.760 I mean, I personally think that Drake maypick's a little excessive. 1289 00:58:12.239 --> 00:58:14.599 We're talking about the tight end position. You have Lamar. 1290 00:58:14.679 --> 00:58:16.599 You're banking on Lamar, and Lamar has to be the guy. 1291 00:58:16.639 --> 00:58:21.840 He's easier god, but Drake may like, if he hits 1292 00:58:21.880 --> 00:58:24.599 your lineup, you're probably at a deficit because. 1293 00:58:24.519 --> 00:58:27.679 Oh yeah, that's where you're right, Turp. I would have 1294 00:58:27.679 --> 00:58:30.360 gone another tight end there. But let's say something that 1295 00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:34.000 nobody's talking about. Khalil Shakier. There's one hundred catch wide 1296 00:58:34.079 --> 00:58:39.840 receiver right there. Kh Khalil Shakir had the best improvement 1297 00:58:39.920 --> 00:58:42.280 last year statistically, and he's going to put another time. 1298 00:58:42.320 --> 00:58:46.559 I don't mind him where he's being drafted. He doesn't 1299 00:58:46.559 --> 00:58:48.239 excite me. He's a hard click for me. 1300 00:58:49.159 --> 00:58:52.079 I can't imagine terp what you don't like about this player. 1301 00:58:52.199 --> 00:58:55.039 I just can't imagine, you know. Again, he's putting up 1302 00:58:55.039 --> 00:58:57.760 the same numbers. He's back there, he's there with those 1303 00:58:58.280 --> 00:59:00.960 Zay Flowers numbers and he you know you can't. 1304 00:59:01.519 --> 00:59:03.840 I don't and won't have any z Flowers. So a 1305 00:59:03.960 --> 00:59:04.960 Flowers is not a guy. 1306 00:59:04.840 --> 00:59:07.639 That Okay, well let's stay on. Then that was just 1307 00:59:07.679 --> 00:59:08.440 an example. 1308 00:59:08.639 --> 00:59:10.559 I know you were talking about him earlier, so I 1309 00:59:10.599 --> 00:59:16.519 wanted to correct yourself there. I don't drift you want. 1310 00:59:19.679 --> 00:59:22.039 Guy, That's that's my thing, Pararell. 1311 00:59:22.079 --> 00:59:25.480 It's a ninth round pick, you know, like like if. 1312 00:59:25.360 --> 00:59:29.480 You just damn near, he's not going to hurt you 1313 00:59:29.559 --> 00:59:35.880 there that we're all for hurt. He's he could deliver. 1314 00:59:36.159 --> 00:59:39.079 He's going to outscore most of these wide receivers on 1315 00:59:39.239 --> 00:59:39.639 this team. 1316 00:59:39.920 --> 00:59:43.800 Except Buffalo was not a heavy passing team last year. 1317 00:59:43.840 --> 00:59:46.280 They didn't have to be, and obviously James Cook ran 1318 00:59:46.400 --> 00:59:48.599 pure most of the year. Ray Davis actually looked really 1319 00:59:48.639 --> 00:59:51.039 good as well. Passing was never a huge part of 1320 00:59:51.039 --> 00:59:54.079 the equation with Buffalo, similar to the same way of 1321 00:59:54.119 --> 00:59:55.920 what I said with Philadelphia, where I don't think they 1322 00:59:55.960 --> 00:59:58.239 can be as efficient this year. I don't think Buffalo 1323 00:59:58.239 --> 01:00:00.000 can be as efficient as they were last year. Run 1324 01:00:00.119 --> 01:00:02.679 the ball, which usually means good things for Shakir Pararell's 1325 01:00:02.679 --> 01:00:05.320 good buddy Matt Collins no longer on the team and 1326 01:00:05.360 --> 01:00:08.360 bow to replace that. They did, however, go out and 1327 01:00:08.360 --> 01:00:11.159 add Joshua Palmer, and this is year two. 1328 01:00:11.320 --> 01:00:14.960 I'll forget. Don't forget as well. You're forgetting somebody. 1329 01:00:15.760 --> 01:00:17.360 Elijah Moore, Kincaid. 1330 01:00:17.559 --> 01:00:21.199 Elijah Moore, no matter what, come on, man, Bobs, we 1331 01:00:21.199 --> 01:00:22.360 don't ever give up on him. 1332 01:00:22.800 --> 01:00:23.960 Bob Loan is. 1333 01:00:24.239 --> 01:00:26.239 A big Elijah Moore fan. We talked with him about 1334 01:00:26.280 --> 01:00:28.079 this last night too. I talked with him about it 1335 01:00:28.239 --> 01:00:30.800 Thursday on the FFPC Insider accesshow which you can watch, 1336 01:00:30.840 --> 01:00:33.079 by the way, on the Better Sports Network seven to 1337 01:00:33.199 --> 01:00:35.800 nine each and every Thursday night year round. So he 1338 01:00:36.239 --> 01:00:38.119 was talking abou Elijah Moore and you still have Kincaid there, 1339 01:00:38.159 --> 01:00:40.159 so I could see it might just be a net 1340 01:00:40.159 --> 01:00:44.599 net now, Farrell, one hundred receptions is tough for me 1341 01:00:44.679 --> 01:00:45.079 to see. 1342 01:00:46.199 --> 01:00:48.280 Eighty sure, ninety, I don't know. 1343 01:00:48.320 --> 01:00:48.800 One hundred. 1344 01:00:48.840 --> 01:00:51.760 I don't think it's going to come to that. Oh 1345 01:00:51.800 --> 01:00:53.920 I don't either, But well, you just said he's a 1346 01:00:54.000 --> 01:00:58.280 hunter catch guy. He's a hundred catch guy. 1347 01:00:59.360 --> 01:01:01.840 We're having some fun here tonight. I love it here 1348 01:01:02.079 --> 01:01:05.400 as team seven back on the clock, guys. 1349 01:01:06.599 --> 01:01:09.199 And I read that at turpsin Trouble dot Com. Everybody 1350 01:01:09.239 --> 01:01:10.079 should go there. 1351 01:01:10.239 --> 01:01:12.800 We got to get that RL tap dangerous. 1352 01:01:12.360 --> 01:01:15.559 Stuff, dangerous stuff around the corner. 1353 01:01:16.119 --> 01:01:19.519 Bill Hollywood chimed in, let's talk about the two joes 1354 01:01:19.559 --> 01:01:22.800 at nine and eleven. We talked about Rob Thomasino's team earlier. 1355 01:01:22.960 --> 01:01:25.400 I want to talk about Bob Bonapone's team here at 1356 01:01:25.400 --> 01:01:28.320 the ninth spot. Bill Hollywood says, he that's one of 1357 01:01:28.320 --> 01:01:31.679 the teams that he really likes. You're looking at filling 1358 01:01:31.679 --> 01:01:34.039 out the quarterback room here round ten on. He's got 1359 01:01:34.039 --> 01:01:37.039 Prescott McCarthy. I really like that. The running backs are 1360 01:01:37.079 --> 01:01:41.079 Henry Walker, Robinson, Mason, Charbonnay Girndo. The one thing that 1361 01:01:41.159 --> 01:01:44.599 I see with the majority of those running backs not 1362 01:01:44.719 --> 01:01:46.599 a lot of catches, like a lot of in between 1363 01:01:46.599 --> 01:01:48.559 the tackles, a lot of touches. Not a lot of 1364 01:01:48.599 --> 01:01:50.639 catches in that running back room, which could be fine. 1365 01:01:51.000 --> 01:01:54.840 The receivers are neighbors Wilson Pickens and that's it. So 1366 01:01:54.960 --> 01:01:57.199 this is a this in Hockinson's obviously the tight end, 1367 01:01:57.320 --> 01:01:59.559 so this is a team where he's gonna have to 1368 01:01:59.599 --> 01:02:03.480 rely on some spike week wide receivers Farrel within the 1369 01:02:03.559 --> 01:02:07.480 last eight rounds of the draft to supplement these target 1370 01:02:07.519 --> 01:02:10.920 monsters and neighbors and Wilson and He's I would probably 1371 01:02:10.920 --> 01:02:13.239 look at some some I mean, as weird as as 1372 01:02:13.239 --> 01:02:15.280 it sounds, some were running backs. Just get a couple 1373 01:02:15.280 --> 01:02:17.639 more upside running backs, and I think you probably need 1374 01:02:17.760 --> 01:02:19.400 you definitely need to add one more tight end. The 1375 01:02:19.480 --> 01:02:21.480 question is Farrel, do you need to add a third 1376 01:02:21.519 --> 01:02:22.599 tight end on that squad? 1377 01:02:23.159 --> 01:02:26.559 I think so. I think I would, especially if you're 1378 01:02:26.599 --> 01:02:29.719 so light a wide receiver, you could And you know 1379 01:02:29.840 --> 01:02:32.679 the tight end whispers favorite one from last year still 1380 01:02:32.679 --> 01:02:34.400 out there, so if you listen to the show, you 1381 01:02:34.400 --> 01:02:40.199 know who that is. And they're all somewhat interchangeable, So 1382 01:02:40.280 --> 01:02:42.039 pick the one you like and try to get the 1383 01:02:42.079 --> 01:02:47.119 stack that you're working with if you can. Yeah, Buky. 1384 01:02:48.519 --> 01:02:51.800 Eventually those hundred cash receivers in the ninth round are 1385 01:02:51.800 --> 01:02:53.800 going to run out, and I think that's we're. 1386 01:02:53.559 --> 01:02:59.599 There, Turp. What do you make of those those running backs? 1387 01:02:59.639 --> 01:03:03.199 Like again, I like Henry this year. I definitely like Walker. 1388 01:03:03.280 --> 01:03:07.159 This year, Robinson, I've drafted in several Kentucky Fantasy Football 1389 01:03:07.159 --> 01:03:11.159 State Championship leagues. I've been talking of Jordan Mason, although 1390 01:03:11.159 --> 01:03:13.760 I think I think I'm flipping back to Aaron Jones 1391 01:03:13.800 --> 01:03:16.159 right now is the better guy because Mason is just 1392 01:03:16.280 --> 01:03:18.639 shooting up the draft boards way way too high, and 1393 01:03:18.679 --> 01:03:21.000 then I you know, he's locking up the Seattle backfield 1394 01:03:21.000 --> 01:03:23.559 here with with Walker and Sharboney, this is an interesting 1395 01:03:23.599 --> 01:03:27.000 collection of running backs for Bob Bonapone. Bob Bonapone at 1396 01:03:27.000 --> 01:03:27.599 the nine spot. 1397 01:03:28.199 --> 01:03:30.519 I really like his team. I love his receivers. I 1398 01:03:30.559 --> 01:03:33.119 love Davers, Wilson and Pickens. It's just a little bit 1399 01:03:33.119 --> 01:03:35.039 of an overkill at the running back position. I just 1400 01:03:35.039 --> 01:03:37.960 feel like he drifted probably one maybe two too many. 1401 01:03:38.840 --> 01:03:41.199 The Garrendo pick just seems a little bit excessive to me. 1402 01:03:42.199 --> 01:03:44.480 You know, you could say whether you like Robinson, Mason 1403 01:03:44.559 --> 01:03:46.239 or Sharpena one of those guys. To me, it's this 1404 01:03:46.280 --> 01:03:48.719 a little too much. You got you got to mix 1405 01:03:48.760 --> 01:03:51.280 the receiver in there, because realistically, if any of those 1406 01:03:51.320 --> 01:03:54.679 receivers go down or you know, Hockinson just bus, this 1407 01:03:54.760 --> 01:03:57.719 team could be you know, at trouble at the two positions, 1408 01:03:57.760 --> 01:03:59.440 so restructor. 1409 01:04:02.440 --> 01:04:05.519 I kind of see what he's doing here. He's got 1410 01:04:05.519 --> 01:04:09.239 a Henry's gonna score for him every week, right, Henry's 1411 01:04:09.360 --> 01:04:11.760 except maybe week one last year. So Henry's going to 1412 01:04:11.800 --> 01:04:13.679 score for him every week. So he's picking out his 1413 01:04:13.800 --> 01:04:16.519 number two. Out of that, he gets a number two 1414 01:04:16.599 --> 01:04:18.960 running back to cout out perform most of the number 1415 01:04:19.000 --> 01:04:21.880 two running backs, and then he's got a potential flegs 1416 01:04:21.880 --> 01:04:24.880 out of these guys. So I, you know, this is 1417 01:04:24.920 --> 01:04:27.280 a cool strategy. I like, and I would have done 1418 01:04:27.320 --> 01:04:31.199 another tight end down here at the bottom, but yeah, why. 1419 01:04:31.039 --> 01:04:38.239 Not Davis Maddock Jim Horasei, Jim, I'm apologize if I'm 1420 01:04:38.280 --> 01:04:40.280 butchering her last name. Jim Horasey was watching us on 1421 01:04:40.320 --> 01:04:43.679 YouTube tonight. So that Davis maddocks team has huge upside here. 1422 01:04:43.760 --> 01:04:46.360 Let's look at Davis's team from the twelve spot, and 1423 01:04:46.400 --> 01:04:48.880 there are some interesting picks here. You got Allen and 1424 01:04:48.920 --> 01:04:51.559 Goff at quarterback. He gets Josh Allen with the first 1425 01:04:51.599 --> 01:04:54.039 pick in the fourth round. The backfield is led by 1426 01:04:54.199 --> 01:04:58.480 McCaffrey Hampton. He does get Dylan Sampson here in round eleven, 1427 01:04:58.480 --> 01:05:01.079 which we'll talk about in a second regard Quinn Shawn Judkins. 1428 01:05:01.239 --> 01:05:03.760 And then the receivers are a Monross, Saint Brown, Rashie Rice, 1429 01:05:03.840 --> 01:05:06.880 Jamison Williams, Matthew Golden, a Mecha Gukap tight ends are 1430 01:05:06.920 --> 01:05:10.000 Andrews in Loveland. Here's what I love about this team specifically, 1431 01:05:10.079 --> 01:05:13.840 just just looking at it right now. McCaffrey injury risk, 1432 01:05:14.320 --> 01:05:17.760 a Monross Saint Brown off season knee surgery, Omarion Hampton, 1433 01:05:17.880 --> 01:05:22.679 Naji Harris, Rashie Rice, suspension, Jamison Williams potential trade guy 1434 01:05:22.719 --> 01:05:24.280 after the season. We don't know how he's going to 1435 01:05:24.320 --> 01:05:27.320 be used. Matthew Golden could disappear in a sea of 1436 01:05:27.360 --> 01:05:30.880 Packers receivers and Mechaguka rookie along with Evans and Godwin 1437 01:05:30.960 --> 01:05:34.519 Colston Loveland shoulder surgery. Dylan Samson, second running back drafted 1438 01:05:34.519 --> 01:05:35.519 by the Browns. 1439 01:05:35.320 --> 01:05:36.000 Jared Goff. 1440 01:05:36.280 --> 01:05:38.079 The team was out of control last year and he 1441 01:05:38.119 --> 01:05:39.440 only finished his quarterback nine. 1442 01:05:39.559 --> 01:05:40.400 You know what I see. 1443 01:05:40.559 --> 01:05:42.760 I see a lot of misfit toys, and I see 1444 01:05:42.760 --> 01:05:45.719 a guy who is gunning for first place. This guy 1445 01:05:45.840 --> 01:05:49.400 hates your socks, Barrell, because he has all this year 1446 01:05:49.719 --> 01:05:52.320 with to draft this dominant team to not only win 1447 01:05:52.360 --> 01:05:54.280 this league, but if everything goes right, he could be 1448 01:05:54.320 --> 01:05:56.840 the number one overall pros versus Joe's champion as well. 1449 01:05:57.000 --> 01:06:00.480 So Madick drafts without fear, and terp shouldn't we always 1450 01:06:00.599 --> 01:06:01.559 draft without fear? 1451 01:06:02.079 --> 01:06:04.800 One thousand percent. He's exactly doing exactly what you said. 1452 01:06:04.880 --> 01:06:07.079 He's going for first and if it doesn't work, guy, 1453 01:06:07.079 --> 01:06:08.840 he's probably gonna come in twelve. And at the end 1454 01:06:08.840 --> 01:06:11.719 of the day, who cares because he's drafted. I mean, 1455 01:06:11.760 --> 01:06:14.360 if he gets CMC from the past, I mean, he 1456 01:06:14.400 --> 01:06:16.840 wins this league. You know, Saint Brown, if if that 1457 01:06:16.920 --> 01:06:19.639 knee surgery is not anything you gotta worry about, He's 1458 01:06:19.639 --> 01:06:22.360 getting the best quarterback in some eyes in fantasy football. 1459 01:06:22.760 --> 01:06:24.880 If a mari and Hampton and naj Harris, you know, 1460 01:06:25.039 --> 01:06:29.039 off season turmoil stuff. He takes that job early and 1461 01:06:29.079 --> 01:06:30.880 then the receivers. I mean, if he could just survive 1462 01:06:30.960 --> 01:06:33.480 until where she Rice gets his two or four game suspension, 1463 01:06:34.079 --> 01:06:36.000 I love what he did in this structure. I would 1464 01:06:36.079 --> 01:06:38.159 not do this structure in like a main event or 1465 01:06:38.400 --> 01:06:40.400 a gorilla draft or something like that, because to me 1466 01:06:40.880 --> 01:06:44.719 it's a little bit too risky. But in this format, 1467 01:06:45.519 --> 01:06:49.519 absolutely it's probably the most you know, all in type 1468 01:06:49.519 --> 01:06:52.000 of drafted that I've seen in the first two drafts, 1469 01:06:52.000 --> 01:06:54.599 of just going for it because if it doesn't work out, 1470 01:06:54.880 --> 01:06:55.440 who cares? 1471 01:06:55.519 --> 01:06:57.239 It's not her. I wish she would come on and 1472 01:06:57.280 --> 01:07:00.639 tell us that, tell us if that was intentional. I'm 1473 01:07:00.679 --> 01:07:01.159 sure it was. 1474 01:07:01.199 --> 01:07:03.519 He an extremely smart guy. He's been getting a lot 1475 01:07:03.519 --> 01:07:05.599 of crap on Twitter I've seen in the last week 1476 01:07:05.679 --> 01:07:08.880 or so, but he's you know, he's an intelligent guy. 1477 01:07:08.920 --> 01:07:09.719 He knows what he's doing. 1478 01:07:09.960 --> 01:07:11.800 You know, if you don't have haters, you're not doing 1479 01:07:11.840 --> 01:07:12.840 it right an percent. 1480 01:07:12.880 --> 01:07:14.679 If you don't have haters like all these people to 1481 01:07:14.760 --> 01:07:17.760 come on and troll them. Hey, he does good work. 1482 01:07:17.800 --> 01:07:20.159 Those guys over there, they're very good at what they do. 1483 01:07:21.320 --> 01:07:23.559 And you know, he drafted a good team tonight. Whether 1484 01:07:23.599 --> 01:07:26.280 it comes in first doesn't really matter because he went 1485 01:07:26.360 --> 01:07:28.480 for it and it works out, it works out. If 1486 01:07:28.519 --> 01:07:29.840 it doesn't, oh well. 1487 01:07:30.440 --> 01:07:33.280 Yeah, I'm just looking at this too. With with Golf 1488 01:07:33.360 --> 01:07:35.840 and Monross, Saint Prown that's a nice little stack to 1489 01:07:35.880 --> 01:07:38.559 have too in your back pocket. And James Williams and 1490 01:07:38.679 --> 01:07:40.440 James and Williams great points t if I missed that 1491 01:07:40.480 --> 01:07:43.960 as well. So that's something that that I think Davis 1492 01:07:43.960 --> 01:07:48.639 whether I mean, I'm sure there we go and he's 1493 01:07:48.679 --> 01:07:52.559 having a great draft. There's a pick we had Scott 1494 01:07:52.559 --> 01:07:56.039 Engel had three tight ends through twelve rounds. We had 1495 01:07:56.159 --> 01:07:59.400 Davis Maddick draft three tight ends through thirteen rounds. Farrell, 1496 01:07:59.400 --> 01:08:01.480 if your draft, think in a twenty round best ball 1497 01:08:02.559 --> 01:08:04.880 a league, is there a specific spot where you like 1498 01:08:04.920 --> 01:08:07.159 to have three your third tight end on the roster 1499 01:08:07.280 --> 01:08:09.800 by or does it? Does it kind of depend upon 1500 01:08:09.800 --> 01:08:10.519 team construction. 1501 01:08:11.119 --> 01:08:13.119 I don't know in this format, I would draft four 1502 01:08:13.199 --> 01:08:14.719 tight ends just four? 1503 01:08:15.760 --> 01:08:16.560 Kurp, What about you? 1504 01:08:17.960 --> 01:08:20.760 It depends where you're drafting, Like if you're draft in 1505 01:08:20.800 --> 01:08:22.600 the middle of the road guys, I think it's three 1506 01:08:22.920 --> 01:08:25.560 maybe four, But it really just depends on like if 1507 01:08:25.560 --> 01:08:27.319 you can get Hunter Henry it's your third tight end. 1508 01:08:27.520 --> 01:08:28.039 I'm good. 1509 01:08:28.399 --> 01:08:29.880 Or if you really want to wait and take an 1510 01:08:29.920 --> 01:08:33.159 upside guy like an Ronde Gatston or Ferguson or something 1511 01:08:33.199 --> 01:08:35.279 like that. Theo Johnson guys like that to have some 1512 01:08:35.359 --> 01:08:39.159 upside to him. But you know, especially in this format, 1513 01:08:39.159 --> 01:08:40.880 like it makes total sense if you get a zero 1514 01:08:40.920 --> 01:08:43.000 who cares like it is what it is. But if 1515 01:08:43.039 --> 01:08:45.199 you hit one of these guys, I mean, like like 1516 01:08:45.479 --> 01:08:49.520 Andrew said he was on the show earlier. You're upside 1517 01:08:49.520 --> 01:08:51.800 and you're really taking it. You're taking the advantage away 1518 01:08:51.800 --> 01:08:53.439 from a lot of the guys in the draft if 1519 01:08:53.439 --> 01:08:55.800 you're taking one of these guys later, like you know, 1520 01:08:55.840 --> 01:08:59.359 like I said, Ferguson, you know Gadsden, Theo Johnson, just 1521 01:08:59.399 --> 01:09:01.359 a name a few know of guys who are getting 1522 01:09:01.399 --> 01:09:03.960 drafted here late that could really, you know, give you 1523 01:09:04.039 --> 01:09:05.199 leverage against everybody else. 1524 01:09:05.399 --> 01:09:08.640 And the Whisper kind of put a put a pin 1525 01:09:08.760 --> 01:09:12.439 in that Tucker crap balloon to a degree. You know, 1526 01:09:15.039 --> 01:09:19.399 he's been so on. I just see's so good with it. 1527 01:09:19.840 --> 01:09:22.239 He called last year. I'd like when we when we're 1528 01:09:22.279 --> 01:09:25.319 getting back, I'd like to know, you know, who's this 1529 01:09:25.399 --> 01:09:26.319 year's hunter, Henry. 1530 01:09:27.720 --> 01:09:29.880 We have to keep watching to see what Coop does 1531 01:09:30.199 --> 01:09:33.600 in the final seven rounds here, because he's got Ingrams 1532 01:09:33.640 --> 01:09:36.039 one tight end, but nobody else since then. By the way, 1533 01:09:37.079 --> 01:09:38.760 I'm gonna get to Coop's team in a second. I 1534 01:09:38.800 --> 01:09:41.520 just want to point out Davis Maddock's haters apparently not 1535 01:09:41.600 --> 01:09:43.680 fans of the high stakes fantasy football are, because he's 1536 01:09:43.680 --> 01:09:47.720 getting nothing but love here. You got Joe King. Davis 1537 01:09:47.880 --> 01:09:50.720 is our guy, Alex P. Keaton Davis is a good guy. 1538 01:09:50.840 --> 01:09:54.439 Tom Smith Team twelve which is Davis Maddock reckless drafting, 1539 01:09:54.520 --> 01:09:57.359 gotta love it. And then of course Steph Miller Davis 1540 01:09:57.399 --> 01:10:01.520 Team blanks. She means it in a good way. 1541 01:10:01.560 --> 01:10:01.760 Here. 1542 01:10:02.359 --> 01:10:04.159 Anyway, let's let we go. 1543 01:10:04.239 --> 01:10:06.640 If we go off the grid of the twelve teams 1544 01:10:06.640 --> 01:10:09.960 and go over to uh, our guest in the in 1545 01:10:10.039 --> 01:10:11.840 the chat room. I got to point out to you, 1546 01:10:11.920 --> 01:10:15.359 bulky and into you turb He was on fire last 1547 01:10:15.439 --> 01:10:18.680 night and he's even better tonight. Adam han Is. Adam 1548 01:10:18.720 --> 01:10:21.640 Han's over here, back in a thousand. Just smart keeps 1549 01:10:21.640 --> 01:10:24.720 coming out. You know, the Adam Han. 1550 01:10:26.439 --> 01:10:28.359 Everybody knows, very smart guy. 1551 01:10:28.880 --> 01:10:30.960 You know what also is great about Adam is his 1552 01:10:31.039 --> 01:10:33.560 YouTube profile picture. You got to take a guy like 1553 01:10:33.640 --> 01:10:35.760 that pretty seriously. I got it up on the screen 1554 01:10:35.840 --> 01:10:36.479 right now like. 1555 01:10:38.079 --> 01:10:38.439 Some guy. 1556 01:10:39.560 --> 01:10:49.319 I'm sorry. 1557 01:10:46.279 --> 01:10:51.039 And okay there all. 1558 01:10:51.000 --> 01:10:55.239 Right, Yeah you got me. I'm sorry, you're a little darker, 1559 01:10:55.279 --> 01:10:59.720 but you're back now, hold on, hold on, there we go. Okay, So, yeah, 1560 01:10:59.760 --> 01:11:01.680 Adam han Is. This is not like some sort of 1561 01:11:01.760 --> 01:11:04.359 dancing Jeff or anything like that. This is a serious 1562 01:11:04.399 --> 01:11:06.680 man who takes his fantasy football seriously. By the way, 1563 01:11:06.760 --> 01:11:10.079 Jim HERESI also pointing this out too that Davis Maddeck 1564 01:11:10.119 --> 01:11:15.199 an upcoming father as well, So congratulat. Yeah, absolutely good 1565 01:11:15.239 --> 01:11:18.119 stuff from Davis. So here's what I wanted to bring 1566 01:11:18.199 --> 01:11:20.840 it back to Kop's team. Guys, Parrol, I'm gonna throw 1567 01:11:20.880 --> 01:11:24.760 this one to you first. I absolutely love waiting until 1568 01:11:24.840 --> 01:11:26.960 round nine. And maybe this is because I'm a big 1569 01:11:26.960 --> 01:11:30.079 Cardinals fan this year, at least for fantasy goes, But 1570 01:11:30.159 --> 01:11:32.600 waiting until round nine to get the seventh quarterback off 1571 01:11:32.600 --> 01:11:34.560 the board Kyler Murray, and then you follow that up 1572 01:11:34.640 --> 01:11:37.479 with last year's QB four in Baker Mayfield. Now, I 1573 01:11:37.560 --> 01:11:42.119 understand there's probably some regression coming from Mayfield. I understand 1574 01:11:42.159 --> 01:11:45.720 that what he did from an efficiency standpoint last year 1575 01:11:46.119 --> 01:11:48.359 is probably not going to be able to be duplicated 1576 01:11:48.439 --> 01:11:50.079 or come close to be duplicated. But I still think 1577 01:11:50.079 --> 01:11:52.640 he's good. And when you're taking him in the tenth round, 1578 01:11:52.680 --> 01:11:54.479 I don't think it really matters. He doesn't have to 1579 01:11:54.479 --> 01:11:56.600 be quarterback four at that point, he doesn't have to 1580 01:11:56.640 --> 01:11:58.399 do what he did last year. And when you get 1581 01:11:58.479 --> 01:12:01.199 Murray and Mayfield back to back in rounds nine and ten, 1582 01:12:01.239 --> 01:12:03.960 as your one and two quarterbacks. I think that's fantastic 1583 01:12:04.039 --> 01:12:05.600 drafting from Coop here tonight, Perrel. 1584 01:12:06.239 --> 01:12:09.279 I understand Mayfield. I like it very very much. That's 1585 01:12:09.319 --> 01:12:12.079 that's who I'm considered a number one quarterback. I'm still 1586 01:12:12.119 --> 01:12:15.239 a mystery on Murray and even just laid in the draft. 1587 01:12:15.279 --> 01:12:18.840 I like some of the other guys better, but Mayfield, Uh, 1588 01:12:19.319 --> 01:12:22.359 who have who? In our f f PC main event, 1589 01:12:22.479 --> 01:12:26.359 I've never been a drafter of you know, he's coming 1590 01:12:26.399 --> 01:12:28.279 to his own and I was very pleased to see 1591 01:12:28.279 --> 01:12:29.439 how he played last year. 1592 01:12:30.800 --> 01:12:35.600 It's hurted three straight new offensive coordinators for for Tampa 1593 01:12:35.800 --> 01:12:39.119 went from Canalis to Cohen and now to what's his name, Grizzard. 1594 01:12:39.199 --> 01:12:42.119 I want to I want to say Gizzard King Wizard, 1595 01:12:42.279 --> 01:12:45.439 Kris Wizard and the Gizzard Wizard. Yeah, he is going 1596 01:12:45.479 --> 01:12:51.439 to be there. Any any concern about a third different 1597 01:12:51.439 --> 01:12:53.039 offensive coordinator. 1598 01:12:52.760 --> 01:12:54.199 For three concerned? 1599 01:12:54.239 --> 01:12:56.600 I mean, but Baker Mayfield seems they have figured it 1600 01:12:56.640 --> 01:12:59.319 out now in the NFL obviously I paid. You know, 1601 01:13:00.039 --> 01:13:03.319 his career in Tampa has been a resurgence, great story 1602 01:13:03.359 --> 01:13:06.079 overall because people hated him when he drafted it got 1603 01:13:06.159 --> 01:13:09.439 drafted number one, totally flopped in the Browns really didn't 1604 01:13:09.479 --> 01:13:11.960 figure it all out. But now he's a top ten 1605 01:13:12.039 --> 01:13:14.000 quarterback in the league, no matter what anybody tries to 1606 01:13:14.000 --> 01:13:16.640 tell you. And they have a ton of a ton 1607 01:13:16.680 --> 01:13:19.239 of guys there a ton of weapons. Whether it's Guywan, 1608 01:13:19.279 --> 01:13:22.039 whether it's Evans, whether it's a Mecca, whether it's Jayleen McMillan, 1609 01:13:22.079 --> 01:13:25.680 whether it's Katt and Bucky Irving, Rashad White. That team 1610 01:13:25.920 --> 01:13:28.960 is poised to make a run the defense holds up. 1611 01:13:30.079 --> 01:13:31.800 I don't know, it's hard to see. Will there be 1612 01:13:31.840 --> 01:13:33.720 an aggression? Do I think he's gonna come in the 1613 01:13:33.720 --> 01:13:35.880 top five this year now? But I still think he 1614 01:13:35.920 --> 01:13:38.920 finishes comfortably in the top He's a QB one at 1615 01:13:38.920 --> 01:13:39.640 the end of the season. 1616 01:13:39.960 --> 01:13:42.199 Mike Evans is the best friend he's ever met in 1617 01:13:42.279 --> 01:13:42.600 the Cup. 1618 01:13:43.079 --> 01:13:44.640 He always finds a way to get him the ball. 1619 01:13:44.920 --> 01:13:51.039 He's fantastic. Yeah, it's and you know Loug Koop's team 1620 01:13:51.119 --> 01:13:54.600 the last player that he drafted Shaheed. You know we 1621 01:13:54.640 --> 01:13:59.239 talk about spike players in Best Ball competition. Shaheed certainly 1622 01:13:59.239 --> 01:14:00.760 fits that description. 1623 01:14:01.920 --> 01:14:05.159 Guys, Terp, I have to ask you this because will 1624 01:14:05.199 --> 01:14:08.039 Shipley has been picking up a lot of steam ever since. 1625 01:14:08.119 --> 01:14:11.000 Like I would say, like Dynasty rookie draft season, I 1626 01:14:11.039 --> 01:14:12.960 saw this guy available on a lot of waiver wires 1627 01:14:12.960 --> 01:14:14.560 and people were scooping him up in the third and 1628 01:14:14.560 --> 01:14:16.680 fourth rounds of rookie drafts. What do you make of 1629 01:14:17.760 --> 01:14:21.199 Shipley in Philadelphia this year? And presented without context, I'm 1630 01:14:21.239 --> 01:14:23.760 just gonna say Barkley was out of control with his 1631 01:14:23.920 --> 01:14:26.399 usage last year and how much he had the shoulder. 1632 01:14:26.760 --> 01:14:29.159 What do you how are you handling? You a guy 1633 01:14:29.199 --> 01:14:32.319 who's who's definitely in touch with the Eagles more than 1634 01:14:32.359 --> 01:14:35.359 anybody I know, How do you handle Will Shipley in drafts? 1635 01:14:36.760 --> 01:14:39.600 Taking Will Shipley makes one hundred percent sense. You're looking 1636 01:14:39.600 --> 01:14:42.760 for that high upside type of potential. You know, Barkley's 1637 01:14:42.840 --> 01:14:46.800 usage last year was ridiculous, and let's just say that's notwithstandable. 1638 01:14:47.000 --> 01:14:49.000 You know, it's not back to back years of that 1639 01:14:49.079 --> 01:14:51.079 kind of us. This is not something we see that often. 1640 01:14:51.479 --> 01:14:53.279 You know, there's definitely gonna some wear and Terry. He's 1641 01:14:53.279 --> 01:14:55.560 getting up there in age. He just won a super Bowl, 1642 01:14:55.640 --> 01:14:58.479 so you know the Super Bowl hangover quote unquote, Yeah, 1643 01:14:58.479 --> 01:15:01.000 I know, Saquon Barkley's a different breed. He's a beast, 1644 01:15:01.000 --> 01:15:03.039 and I get all that stuff. But I don't see 1645 01:15:03.039 --> 01:15:05.960 the Eagles, especially early in the season, just absolutely killing 1646 01:15:06.039 --> 01:15:10.439 him like they did last year. Shipley and the corpse 1647 01:15:10.479 --> 01:15:12.800 of AJ Dillon is going to be around. I think 1648 01:15:12.840 --> 01:15:15.479 Shipley has enough juice to take that job. There is 1649 01:15:15.520 --> 01:15:17.000 a little bit of worry that they might add a 1650 01:15:17.039 --> 01:15:19.600 veteran if he doesn't take it early enough, because you 1651 01:15:19.600 --> 01:15:23.159 know Barkley, you know, the carries that he got last year, 1652 01:15:23.199 --> 01:15:26.520 he's not getting this year. So I love Shipley this year. 1653 01:15:26.600 --> 01:15:28.840 He's a guy that where he's being drafted, you know, 1654 01:15:29.000 --> 01:15:31.680 right around these other guys, you know for Shot Smith, 1655 01:15:32.239 --> 01:15:36.039 the Roshawn Johnson's they all have potential upside. These are 1656 01:15:36.039 --> 01:15:37.920 the guys you should be taking these in these spots 1657 01:15:38.000 --> 01:15:41.000 right here because hopefully nothing happens to stake Bon Barkley. 1658 01:15:41.159 --> 01:15:44.840 But if for whatever reason it does, you're talking about 1659 01:15:44.880 --> 01:15:47.199 the best offense in football getting a guy like Will Shipley, 1660 01:15:47.439 --> 01:15:49.840 it could be a league winner type of situation. AJ 1661 01:15:49.920 --> 01:15:50.680 Dillon ain't that guy. 1662 01:15:51.439 --> 01:15:53.239 Yeah, And I don't know if AJ Dillon makes the 1663 01:15:53.279 --> 01:15:55.399 team either too. That's the other time. 1664 01:15:55.239 --> 01:15:57.039 That's what worries me, because if AJ Dillon doesn't make 1665 01:15:57.039 --> 01:15:59.279 the team, there might be that veteran guy that the 1666 01:15:59.279 --> 01:16:02.720 Eagles bring in as like the backup to Saquon Barkley 1667 01:16:02.720 --> 01:16:04.600 if they don't think Shipley can handle the job. That's 1668 01:16:04.600 --> 01:16:07.439 the worry with Chipley is he's just an afterthought because 1669 01:16:07.720 --> 01:16:10.000 they bring in a veteran for nothing. Who gets cut. 1670 01:16:10.600 --> 01:16:12.119 I can't think of anybody off the top of my head, 1671 01:16:12.119 --> 01:16:15.359 but there's plenty of guys out there that makes sense 1672 01:16:15.479 --> 01:16:19.159 that they could just put in there and Chipley gets 1673 01:16:19.159 --> 01:16:20.960 pushed out. But I think he takes a job. I 1674 01:16:21.000 --> 01:16:24.359 think he has enough juice to where it's worth where 1675 01:16:24.359 --> 01:16:26.560 he's being drafted to take shots. 1676 01:16:27.199 --> 01:16:30.439 This just in spotted at a local cheese steak joint 1677 01:16:30.439 --> 01:16:33.319 in downtown Philly was Leonard Fournette tonight. So you never know. 1678 01:16:34.960 --> 01:16:37.119 Anything, Big Lenny, Big Lenny. 1679 01:16:37.560 --> 01:16:39.920 I want to get to our next guest before we do. Uh, 1680 01:16:40.159 --> 01:16:42.079 let me let me throw this at you. Farrell team 1681 01:16:42.119 --> 01:16:45.319 one who auto drafted the first three picks, which we 1682 01:16:45.319 --> 01:16:47.479 didn't care about because we thought they were strong picks there. 1683 01:16:48.079 --> 01:16:50.600 But then they they got in and they have drafted 1684 01:16:50.640 --> 01:16:53.079 a team where they didn't take a tight end until 1685 01:16:53.159 --> 01:16:55.119 round eleven, but now they have three of them on 1686 01:16:55.159 --> 01:16:58.399 their squad. You got Darren Waller, who is taking the 1687 01:16:58.399 --> 01:17:01.399 place of JANEU Smith in my you have Elijah Royal 1688 01:17:01.640 --> 01:17:03.840 who is now the beneficiary of a Seattle tight end 1689 01:17:03.920 --> 01:17:06.520 room that no longer has no offen, and now zach Ertz, 1690 01:17:06.520 --> 01:17:10.439 who's competing with a somewhat underwhelming ben Sonnatt so far. 1691 01:17:10.479 --> 01:17:12.039 And I know sinats young and this could be a 1692 01:17:12.039 --> 01:17:15.199 big leap forward for him. But with the McLaurin contract 1693 01:17:15.239 --> 01:17:18.199 situation going on right now, if Fat Deebo shows up 1694 01:17:18.199 --> 01:17:20.920 in Washington this year, maybe Ertz is gonna be worth 1695 01:17:21.039 --> 01:17:23.399 more than what a lot of people are projecting here. Pharaoh, 1696 01:17:23.439 --> 01:17:25.560 what do you make of Team one not taking a 1697 01:17:25.600 --> 01:17:28.439 tight end until round eleven? But now having Waller, a 1698 01:17:28.560 --> 01:17:29.600 Royal and Ertz in that. 1699 01:17:29.760 --> 01:17:32.520 Room, it wouldn't be my strategy that I like what 1700 01:17:32.560 --> 01:17:34.760 they came up with. And you know I talked about 1701 01:17:34.760 --> 01:17:37.159 having four tight ends. If I'm ever in this situation, 1702 01:17:37.359 --> 01:17:40.279 let me see your fourth guy, Fellas. But you know, 1703 01:17:40.439 --> 01:17:44.399 zach Ertz did more last year than what we expected 1704 01:17:44.479 --> 01:17:47.840 him to do, and that's gonna have to happen here again. 1705 01:17:48.319 --> 01:17:53.159 Rookie tight ends is not anywhere I want to I 1706 01:17:53.239 --> 01:17:56.520 want to put my eggs in that basket and God 1707 01:17:56.520 --> 01:18:02.680 blessed Aarren Waller. That's that's definitely a shake up the 1708 01:18:02.760 --> 01:18:04.399 dice and make a long shot bet. 1709 01:18:05.640 --> 01:18:08.319 The person we want to bring on right now just 1710 01:18:08.399 --> 01:18:11.600 made a pick of Sam Darnold in the fifteenth round. 1711 01:18:11.640 --> 01:18:14.720 He's going to be up again here fairly quickly. You 1712 01:18:14.800 --> 01:18:18.479 read all of his work on Rodoballer dot com. This 1713 01:18:18.560 --> 01:18:21.960 is a guy who's been around the industry forever. He 1714 01:18:22.039 --> 01:18:25.279 has forgotten more about fantasy football than I'll ever know. 1715 01:18:25.800 --> 01:18:28.760 The first time the FSWA did a Hall of Fame induction, 1716 01:18:29.000 --> 01:18:31.439 he was part of that class. This is a guy 1717 01:18:31.560 --> 01:18:34.960 that you hear him on Serious X on Fantasy Sports Radio. 1718 01:18:35.279 --> 01:18:37.159 You read his work on the Athletic as well. You 1719 01:18:37.199 --> 01:18:38.840 follow him on the X at Scott E. 1720 01:18:39.079 --> 01:18:39.439 The King. 1721 01:18:39.960 --> 01:18:43.239 Mister Scott Engel from Rotoballer joining us tonight, Scott, Good 1722 01:18:43.239 --> 01:18:44.600 evening and welcome. How you doing. 1723 01:18:46.119 --> 01:18:48.159 Good to see you, my friend, Thanks for having me 1724 01:18:48.279 --> 01:18:49.479 and good to be on with you. 1725 01:18:49.560 --> 01:18:50.119 Guys. 1726 01:18:50.520 --> 01:18:54.199 Well, we are excited to have you on fifteen rounds 1727 01:18:54.199 --> 01:18:55.760 in What do you make of your team from the 1728 01:18:55.760 --> 01:18:56.239 ten spot? 1729 01:18:56.279 --> 01:19:00.920 My friend, I'm just you know, I got the two 1730 01:19:01.000 --> 01:19:04.439 running backs I like for most upside. Uh, but I 1731 01:19:04.520 --> 01:19:06.960 wanted to give one one of the top four quarterbacks. 1732 01:19:07.640 --> 01:19:11.199 I was gonna get him, and I connected Daniels with McLaurin. 1733 01:19:12.800 --> 01:19:15.279 I'm noticing in a lot of drafts that you know, 1734 01:19:15.319 --> 01:19:18.840 you have real value on rookies. So I like some 1735 01:19:18.920 --> 01:19:21.039 of the value that I've gotten on rookies, and I 1736 01:19:21.079 --> 01:19:22.359 still have some of my queue. 1737 01:19:24.279 --> 01:19:28.319 So you're on the clock shortly. You're on deck right now, 1738 01:19:28.399 --> 01:19:32.119 Rob Thomasino's gonna be picking right now. You already have 1739 01:19:32.239 --> 01:19:34.560 two quarterbacks in your squad. You have the three tight 1740 01:19:34.640 --> 01:19:37.560 ends that we talked about earlier. You have six receivers, 1741 01:19:37.600 --> 01:19:39.800 four running backs. You are now on the clock. Scott, 1742 01:19:39.840 --> 01:19:42.399 take us through the thought process of your sixteen oh 1743 01:19:42.399 --> 01:19:42.880 three pick. 1744 01:19:42.920 --> 01:19:43.079 Here. 1745 01:19:44.520 --> 01:19:47.640 Uh sixteen oh three maybe just best player left on 1746 01:19:47.680 --> 01:19:52.920 the board. And uh, right, but right now, I do 1747 01:19:53.119 --> 01:19:57.439 have DeAndre Swift, who I believe is gonna be ticketed 1748 01:19:57.520 --> 01:19:59.920 for a big year or so I'm gonna take the 1749 01:20:00.079 --> 01:20:03.239 rookie running back that's that's gonna back him up just 1750 01:20:03.279 --> 01:20:06.079 in case, because I think he could be a goal 1751 01:20:06.119 --> 01:20:11.920 line guy and maybe go ahead of Roshawn Johnson there. 1752 01:20:13.079 --> 01:20:15.600 So Johnson ends up going in the fourteenth round, Scott, 1753 01:20:15.760 --> 01:20:18.079 I'm kind of curious if Johnson would have been there. 1754 01:20:18.079 --> 01:20:20.520 If you had your choice between Johnson and Manongay, would 1755 01:20:20.560 --> 01:20:21.840 you have still a picked manong guy? 1756 01:20:22.600 --> 01:20:25.520 Yeah, because again, you guys know this is high stakes. 1757 01:20:25.560 --> 01:20:28.720 You gotta know what upside. Moshawn Johnson doesn't have any 1758 01:20:28.760 --> 01:20:32.920 fantasy upside Monga guy does. So every time, you know, 1759 01:20:32.960 --> 01:20:35.399 I get into a best ball, you know, like this, 1760 01:20:36.319 --> 01:20:38.600 you know you really got to swing for the fences. 1761 01:20:38.680 --> 01:20:41.800 So I know some people didn't like my Cendric Tilvin 1762 01:20:42.800 --> 01:20:44.680 pick in the tenth round in the chat room, and 1763 01:20:44.720 --> 01:20:48.319 I appreciate them comment, you know, good or bad, but 1764 01:20:48.600 --> 01:20:51.279 you know, to me, he had the most upside if 1765 01:20:51.279 --> 01:20:54.039 any player I wanted at that point. And you know, 1766 01:20:54.399 --> 01:20:56.560 you just got to tune out what people say, although 1767 01:20:56.760 --> 01:20:59.119 you respect it. 1768 01:20:59.199 --> 01:21:02.319 Scott Engel, who who had a former top twenty overall 1769 01:21:02.319 --> 01:21:05.279 finish and pros versus Joe's in twenty twenty three, looking 1770 01:21:05.279 --> 01:21:08.239 for bigger and better things here this season, and you 1771 01:21:08.239 --> 01:21:10.399 know you talk about upside, Well, there's some upside with 1772 01:21:10.479 --> 01:21:14.840 this Washington connection that you had drafted in the third round. 1773 01:21:14.880 --> 01:21:17.279 Here you end up getting McLaurin at the three ten. 1774 01:21:17.600 --> 01:21:20.279 You pair him with Jayden Daniels at the four h three. Scott, 1775 01:21:20.319 --> 01:21:22.640 was that part of the thought process, like I'm gonna 1776 01:21:22.680 --> 01:21:24.680 get McLaurin here and I'm gonna grab Daniels on the 1777 01:21:24.960 --> 01:21:27.560 turn to get this this stack going right away? Was 1778 01:21:27.560 --> 01:21:28.439 that what you were thinking. 1779 01:21:29.640 --> 01:21:32.199 I wasn't actively thinking of this because it's any good 1780 01:21:32.279 --> 01:21:36.159 drafter and everybody here, especially in the chat room, good drafters. 1781 01:21:36.680 --> 01:21:38.720 You know you have to go with the flow. I 1782 01:21:38.840 --> 01:21:42.640 wanted mclauren. There are some people down on McLaurin. It 1783 01:21:42.680 --> 01:21:44.680 doesn't make sense to me. He's coming off his best 1784 01:21:44.720 --> 01:21:48.600 season playing as with the best quarterback of his career. 1785 01:21:48.920 --> 01:21:53.840 And I said, look, I know I never get sniped, okay, 1786 01:21:53.880 --> 01:21:57.199 because I'm always ready with like three or four guys. 1787 01:21:57.199 --> 01:21:59.960 So look my guy, because I got four or five 1788 01:22:00.039 --> 01:22:06.000 of them sitting there. And so I said, if Daniels 1789 01:22:06.079 --> 01:22:08.600 is there when I come around, I'm going to take 1790 01:22:08.680 --> 01:22:12.760 him because the top two quarterbacks are already gone. And 1791 01:22:13.439 --> 01:22:16.880 if I can walk myself into a connection there, I will. 1792 01:22:17.399 --> 01:22:20.159 If it doesn't happen, I'll pivot to another direction. 1793 01:22:21.199 --> 01:22:25.079 I like your tight end selections here that obviously you 1794 01:22:25.279 --> 01:22:28.840 like big athletic tight ends all these guys have a 1795 01:22:28.880 --> 01:22:34.479 great deal in common, and I'm impressed with that group. 1796 01:22:34.600 --> 01:22:37.000 I wonder if you were tempted we just finished talking 1797 01:22:37.039 --> 01:22:39.159 about Ertz. I wonder if you were ever tempted to 1798 01:22:39.199 --> 01:22:42.720 add Ertz since you were building this Washington stack. So 1799 01:22:42.720 --> 01:22:44.039 I was just curious about that. 1800 01:22:44.479 --> 01:22:47.920 Not really because at this point, you know, I appreciate 1801 01:22:47.960 --> 01:22:54.920 your comment, you know, knowing the good reputation you do have. Well, 1802 01:22:56.199 --> 01:23:00.119 Zach Art, there's not upside to me. You know, it's 1803 01:23:00.960 --> 01:23:04.680 this guy like he's admirably he is an NFL player, 1804 01:23:05.000 --> 01:23:08.159 still going towards the end of his career. But you know, 1805 01:23:08.239 --> 01:23:12.119 I went Tucker Craft, who could break out? Brighton Strange 1806 01:23:12.159 --> 01:23:14.319 could be a sleeper and there's still one tight end 1807 01:23:14.359 --> 01:23:17.359 I haven't like you that nobody took yet. Maybe he's 1808 01:23:17.399 --> 01:23:18.199 a lace sleeper. 1809 01:23:18.680 --> 01:23:21.840 Yeah, So, Scott, I want to bring this up because 1810 01:23:21.840 --> 01:23:23.119 we haven't talked about this at all, and I was 1811 01:23:23.119 --> 01:23:26.079 thinking about this today and maybe I'm just overrating it. 1812 01:23:26.439 --> 01:23:28.680 What do you make of this Ricky Piersoll injury strain 1813 01:23:28.760 --> 01:23:32.880 the handstring in May. Now he's on the the acted 1814 01:23:33.039 --> 01:23:34.960 NFI list or whatever, which he can be taken off 1815 01:23:35.000 --> 01:23:37.319 at any time. I know it's still July twentieth, But 1816 01:23:37.359 --> 01:23:39.199 this is an injury that happened like two months ago. 1817 01:23:39.479 --> 01:23:41.439 You drafted him in the seventh round tonight, So it 1818 01:23:41.439 --> 01:23:43.359 doesn't sound like you're concerned with this hamstring at all 1819 01:23:43.399 --> 01:23:44.359 from peersaw. 1820 01:23:44.640 --> 01:23:47.600 No, because you know it's it's still July. He's got 1821 01:23:47.640 --> 01:23:50.479 a lot of time to recover. Even this early, you're 1822 01:23:50.479 --> 01:23:53.199 gonna see people getting bumped down because of injuries and 1823 01:23:53.239 --> 01:23:56.520 potential suspensions, and that's where you get value. 1824 01:23:56.720 --> 01:23:56.920 You know. 1825 01:23:57.000 --> 01:24:01.680 I think it's between Piersoll and Jennings to really prove themselves. 1826 01:24:01.800 --> 01:24:04.039 Y Auk is out and one of them is gonna 1827 01:24:04.039 --> 01:24:07.439 get pushed forward more based on how they do early 1828 01:24:07.520 --> 01:24:10.399 in the season, and it's either gonna be Pier Sola Jennings. 1829 01:24:10.399 --> 01:24:11.880 It will get played out on the field. 1830 01:24:13.520 --> 01:24:15.880 Talking with Scott Engel, you can read his work at Rotoball, 1831 01:24:15.960 --> 01:24:18.000 or you hear him on Sirius X and Fantasy Sports 1832 01:24:18.079 --> 01:24:20.640 Radio and check out his work on the Athletic as well. 1833 01:24:20.680 --> 01:24:23.720 As he is drafting tonight, ladies and gentlemen from the 1834 01:24:23.920 --> 01:24:27.560 ten spot next to Rob Thomasino and Bob Bana Pone 1835 01:24:27.680 --> 01:24:32.079 the FFPC, Joe's drafting their Scott is drafting right between him. 1836 01:24:32.079 --> 01:24:35.680 You're coming up on your seventeenth round pick. Brenton Strange 1837 01:24:35.680 --> 01:24:39.479 and Travis Hunter interesting Jacksonville players there. How does Strange 1838 01:24:39.520 --> 01:24:41.479 fit in with Thomas and Hunter this year? 1839 01:24:41.520 --> 01:24:41.880 Scott? 1840 01:24:43.239 --> 01:24:48.039 I think you know the other guys are spectacular downfield players. 1841 01:24:48.760 --> 01:24:52.359 This is somebody Trevor Lawrence has to do it this 1842 01:24:52.520 --> 01:24:55.079 year because if he doesn't do it this year, is. 1843 01:24:55.079 --> 01:24:56.000 Never gonna do it. 1844 01:24:56.680 --> 01:24:59.720 So, you know, Strange is the guy that I think 1845 01:24:59.800 --> 01:25:02.359 may them comfortable say, Okay, we don't need to have 1846 01:25:02.439 --> 01:25:05.199 an ingram. He showed us enough and you got to 1847 01:25:05.239 --> 01:25:08.159 have you know, every good quarterback's got to have a 1848 01:25:08.199 --> 01:25:11.159 reliable chain over, and I think that's the kind of 1849 01:25:11.199 --> 01:25:12.479 guy that's Strange is. 1850 01:25:12.840 --> 01:25:18.039 Mh which makes which makes perfect sense at least to me. Here, guys, 1851 01:25:18.079 --> 01:25:20.680 we are coming up on our Scott, we're coming up 1852 01:25:20.680 --> 01:25:23.119 on your pick. Here, it looks like you are in 1853 01:25:23.159 --> 01:25:26.119 the hole right now. A well balanced team. How important 1854 01:25:26.159 --> 01:25:28.840 is balance in a competition like this where granted you're 1855 01:25:28.880 --> 01:25:31.680 going for first place, so you can be heavy and 1856 01:25:31.760 --> 01:25:34.359 strong in one area and that can't carry you. But 1857 01:25:34.479 --> 01:25:36.199 I don't know, sometimes I like to be balanced. So 1858 01:25:36.239 --> 01:25:38.039 when the value falls to me, I can grab it. 1859 01:25:38.079 --> 01:25:39.119 Do you ever think about that? 1860 01:25:40.319 --> 01:25:46.399 I certainly think about balance because because and here comes 1861 01:25:46.439 --> 01:25:48.560 to tight end that I was talking about that, I 1862 01:25:48.600 --> 01:25:54.039 have Hulster. Uh, let me just take him right there, Okay, 1863 01:25:55.079 --> 01:26:02.199 THEO Johnson and yeah, and uh that's my fourth tight end. 1864 01:26:02.199 --> 01:26:04.359 What you said about you lik and have four t 1865 01:26:05.840 --> 01:26:10.720 I exactly agree with you. I agree with you. Yeah, 1866 01:26:10.720 --> 01:26:12.680 I like to have balance because you never know who's 1867 01:26:12.680 --> 01:26:15.640 gonna get injured. Uh, and you got to take the 1868 01:26:15.680 --> 01:26:20.960 best players available for upside periods. So I agree with you. 1869 01:26:20.960 --> 01:26:24.720 You know, when I when I'm drafting, I carefully evaluate 1870 01:26:24.880 --> 01:26:29.560 balance throughout and talking about how I never get sniped. 1871 01:26:30.159 --> 01:26:33.359 I know it's arrogant, but it's just the truth. I 1872 01:26:33.520 --> 01:26:38.760 had Roman Wilson and THEO Johnson and Mike Queue, and 1873 01:26:38.840 --> 01:26:41.279 when Wilson got taken right ahead of me, I didn't say, oh, 1874 01:26:41.359 --> 01:26:45.119 you took my guy right ahead and took THEO Johnson 1875 01:26:45.479 --> 01:26:47.920 because I couldn't decide between the two of them. And 1876 01:26:48.000 --> 01:26:50.800 sometimes the person ahead of you help helps you make 1877 01:26:50.840 --> 01:26:51.439 the decision. 1878 01:26:51.840 --> 01:26:56.079 And somewhere all the fantasy sopranos are smiling, Yes. 1879 01:26:55.960 --> 01:26:59.439 Exactly as as THEO Johnson that Steve already made it clear. 1880 01:26:59.600 --> 01:27:01.720 I Steve already posted in the chat with Theo Johnson 1881 01:27:01.720 --> 01:27:03.680 and I said, Steve, I know you're not in this draft, 1882 01:27:03.720 --> 01:27:05.319 but somehow I thought you would still find a way 1883 01:27:05.319 --> 01:27:08.399 to draft Leo Johnson here tonight. Didn't happen because Scott 1884 01:27:08.479 --> 01:27:11.520 got him. The King Scott angele Scott. If anybody wants 1885 01:27:11.560 --> 01:27:13.680 to read more of what you're doing or listen to you, 1886 01:27:13.720 --> 01:27:15.880 where what's the schedule like for you right now?

You know you could 1894 01:27:43.720 --> 01:27:47.960 just pick them off late. So Advance Local also post 1895 01:27:48.000 --> 01:27:51.399 Roodobowler dot com, where I've been for seven years and 1896 01:27:51.439 --> 01:27:56.199 I love it. Uh the Athletic. I've been the official 1897 01:27:56.279 --> 01:27:59.720 fantasy rider for Seahawks dot Com, the official side of 1898 01:27:59.760 --> 01:28:03.560 the Sea Hawks, since twenty twelve, so you can always 1899 01:28:03.560 --> 01:28:06.279 come to me with Seahawk questions.

There's some talk about maybe 1904 01:28:23.319 --> 01:28:26.239 splitting him out as an X receiver, A lot of 1905 01:28:26.279 --> 01:28:29.640 people asking, oh, with JSN and Cup, you know who's 1906 01:28:29.640 --> 01:28:31.439 gonna play on the outside. You know, you look at 1907 01:28:31.439 --> 01:28:34.520 the Rams past offenses. They run a lot to the inside. 1908 01:28:34.520 --> 01:28:37.119 You know, you could see Royo on the outside with 1909 01:28:37.239 --> 01:28:39.760 Marquez Valdez scantling. You know, I think they're gonna do 1910 01:28:40.039 --> 01:28:44.479 some interesting stuff Offensively. He's in great prospects. He's just 1911 01:28:44.520 --> 01:28:45.479 gotta stay healthy. 1912 01:28:45.880 --> 01:28:48.439 Do you play the auction format at all? 1913 01:28:49.439 --> 01:28:49.800 I have. 1914 01:28:50.079 --> 01:28:53.399 I didn't last year, but I definitely enjoy it. I 1915 01:28:53.399 --> 01:28:55.960 can see you being hell in the auction format. I 1916 01:28:55.960 --> 01:29:02.000 guess that was yeah. You shake things up very quickly. 1917 01:29:02.119 --> 01:29:04.319 Then, well, I do a lot of baseball actions, so 1918 01:29:04.439 --> 01:29:05.960 football comes naturally to me. 1919 01:29:06.960 --> 01:29:07.239 Scott. 1920 01:29:07.319 --> 01:29:10.279 Final question Sean Green and the YouTube chat. AJ Barner 1921 01:29:10.279 --> 01:29:13.000 at tight end obviously probably the second guy to Arroyo 1922 01:29:13.119 --> 01:29:15.199 right now. Anything with him for fantasy this year that 1923 01:29:15.239 --> 01:29:16.359 we need to be knowing. 1924 01:29:16.199 --> 01:29:22.319 About super deep Sleeper maybe to watch you know, a Royo. Unfortunately, 1925 01:29:22.439 --> 01:29:25.479 durability is an issue, but I think they release fan 1926 01:29:25.680 --> 01:29:30.479 because they really like what A Royal showed them last season. So, 1927 01:29:30.720 --> 01:29:33.359 you know, deep Sleeper, you want to you want to 1928 01:29:33.399 --> 01:29:36.039 take him in a very deep draft like this one. 1929 01:29:36.319 --> 01:29:39.119 You know, I'm totally fine with it. 1930 01:29:40.119 --> 01:29:43.439 We are always totally fine with any advice, fantasy betting 1931 01:29:43.680 --> 01:29:46.960 whatever from Scott the King Angle the King of Queens 1932 01:29:47.720 --> 01:29:53.399 of New York joining us tonight here que there you go. 1933 01:29:53.479 --> 01:29:56.720 Absolutely yeah, Scott E the King on X.

That is one, that 1951 01:30:35.399 --> 01:30:37.760 is six, that is two. I've done a few shows 1952 01:30:37.760 --> 01:30:40.600 at them over the years. A really talented guy, a 1953 01:30:40.680 --> 01:30:43.159 really smart guy, and he's going to class up the 1954 01:30:43.239 --> 01:30:45.239 joint for the last couple of rounds. Here, ladies and gentlemen, 1955 01:30:45.279 --> 01:30:49.159 please welcome in drafting from the three spot tonight, the one, 1956 01:30:49.199 --> 01:30:51.720 the only, the Pride of Canada. Joe Van Go, Joe, 1957 01:30:51.720 --> 01:30:52.720 welcome in tonight. Man. 1958 01:30:54.000 --> 01:30:54.960 Hey, thanks for having me. 1959 01:30:55.000 --> 01:30:58.359 Guys, missus, this is exciting to have you on always 1960 01:30:58.399 --> 01:31:00.000 and we get you when you're on the clock here 1961 01:31:00.119 --> 01:31:01.359 to take us. Tell us what you're doing. 1962 01:31:01.439 --> 01:31:02.239 Yeah, I guess so. 1963 01:31:03.640 --> 01:31:07.079 I'm between well a couple wide receivers here, so I'm 1964 01:31:07.079 --> 01:31:09.640 just gonna rip it on one of these three guys, 1965 01:31:09.680 --> 01:31:12.560 double check if there's a stock available. There is not, 1966 01:31:12.880 --> 01:31:18.119 so mhmm. We're on the clock, We're on live. Let's 1967 01:31:18.159 --> 01:31:19.159 take Brown. 1968 01:31:19.800 --> 01:31:22.800 I love that I've been drafting Dianmi Brown a lot 1969 01:31:22.840 --> 01:31:25.520 in basket balls this year. I think he's an underrated 1970 01:31:25.520 --> 01:31:28.159 player for sure. We'll talk about him in a second, Joe, 1971 01:31:28.239 --> 01:31:31.439 let's let's wide scope your team so far. You end 1972 01:31:31.520 --> 01:31:35.079 up going with Barkley at the three. Obviously a hotly 1973 01:31:35.119 --> 01:31:38.640 contested offense that we talked about tonight. We're the Philadelphia Eagles. 1974 01:31:39.079 --> 01:31:41.760 You show no fear, which is I think the way 1975 01:31:41.800 --> 01:31:44.279 to draft. In drafting Barkley at the three, you know 1976 01:31:44.319 --> 01:31:47.279 the workload concerns, but you also realize that this could 1977 01:31:47.279 --> 01:31:50.079 be a potential league winner even at the one oh three. Tonight, 1978 01:31:50.359 --> 01:31:52.800 how difficult of a decision was it to say I'm 1979 01:31:52.800 --> 01:31:55.479 gonna take Barkley over Beijon Robinson here. 1980 01:31:56.520 --> 01:31:59.760 Yeah, that was actually a tough decision, but in the end, 1981 01:31:59.840 --> 01:32:02.960 I had to stick to what I think is most likely, 1982 01:32:03.079 --> 01:32:06.359 and I just think the Eagles are gonna likely win, 1983 01:32:06.640 --> 01:32:09.800 you know, between like twelve and fifteen games, and they're 1984 01:32:09.800 --> 01:32:13.199 going to be a dominant force. Again. Offensive line is strong, 1985 01:32:13.279 --> 01:32:17.520 Saikwon Barkley doesn't look like he's lost any steps, so 1986 01:32:17.640 --> 01:32:21.279 I'm of course banking on him being healthy. But I 1987 01:32:21.319 --> 01:32:23.520 think you could point at most running backs in this 1988 01:32:23.640 --> 01:32:27.279 range and if if they get hurt, you're going to 1989 01:32:27.319 --> 01:32:30.279 be in trouble regardless. So I'm going to go with 1990 01:32:30.279 --> 01:32:31.560 Saikwon Barkley there. 1991 01:32:31.960 --> 01:32:34.680 Joe Sag your first running back obviously Barkley. Your second 1992 01:32:34.680 --> 01:32:36.079 one was Breece Hall, and we've seen a bit of 1993 01:32:36.119 --> 01:32:39.239 bounce back in ADP with Brice Hall lately. Can you 1994 01:32:39.279 --> 01:32:41.399 talk a little bit about what you see happening in 1995 01:32:41.439 --> 01:32:43.520 New York this year? Is it Okham's rains or sort 1996 01:32:43.520 --> 01:32:45.960 of like how you described like most obvious answer is 1997 01:32:46.000 --> 01:32:48.600 Hall leading them in touches, leading them in carries, and 1998 01:32:48.840 --> 01:32:51.319 Isaiah Davis and Braylan Allen are sort of afterthoughts what 1999 01:32:51.439 --> 01:32:53.159 kind of a year is Breece halland for in twenty 2000 01:32:53.199 --> 01:32:56.600 twenty five with a new head coach, offensive coordinator, and quarterback. 2001 01:32:57.479 --> 01:33:00.359 I would like to think Davis as an after I 2002 01:33:00.359 --> 01:33:02.840 do like Braylan Allen as a young running back in 2003 01:33:02.960 --> 01:33:06.640 Dynasty especially, But I do think Bryce Hall has the 2004 01:33:06.680 --> 01:33:11.119 explosiveness to potentially lead the league in rushing if he 2005 01:33:11.159 --> 01:33:15.119 gets enough carries. Potentially he has that corollary with the 2006 01:33:15.199 --> 01:33:18.199 quarterback who creates the rushing threat that opens up the 2007 01:33:18.279 --> 01:33:22.560 rushing lanes. I think in the third round here you're 2008 01:33:22.600 --> 01:33:26.239 baking in the risk of the Jets offense not being 2009 01:33:26.279 --> 01:33:30.399 all that good. And I also think Hall's pass catching profile. 2010 01:33:30.520 --> 01:33:33.119 While maybe fields may or may not throw it to 2011 01:33:33.239 --> 01:33:35.720 him as much as I'd like, I do think his 2012 01:33:35.720 --> 01:33:37.760 history of catching balls is really strong and he could 2013 01:33:37.800 --> 01:33:40.720 be a great checkdown option for fields as well. 2014 01:33:41.079 --> 01:33:44.560 Joe, you drafted Laporte in the fifth round. I believe 2015 01:33:44.600 --> 01:33:47.399 you were the second team to double up at the position. 2016 01:33:47.760 --> 01:33:50.000 You end up taking Dalton Kincaid as the tight end 2017 01:33:50.039 --> 01:33:53.279 twelve here tonight. This was at the eight ten. Why 2018 01:33:53.279 --> 01:33:54.920 did you feel the need number one to double up 2019 01:33:54.920 --> 01:33:56.800 on tight ends within the first eight rounds and then 2020 01:33:56.880 --> 01:33:58.920 number two to make Dalton Kinkaid your second guy. 2021 01:34:00.359 --> 01:34:02.920 Well, I probably didn't like my other options at running 2022 01:34:02.920 --> 01:34:05.279 back and wide receiver when I made the choice. I 2023 01:34:05.319 --> 01:34:09.359 do like Dalton Kincaid given that I don't see a 2024 01:34:09.399 --> 01:34:13.039 whole lot other you know, other real threats in Buffalo. 2025 01:34:13.039 --> 01:34:14.920 I think Kincaid has a room to improve. I think 2026 01:34:14.920 --> 01:34:17.880 he was hurt last year and he does have the 2027 01:34:17.960 --> 01:34:22.319 profile to potentially take a big step forward. He was 2028 01:34:22.359 --> 01:34:24.920 being drafted and I think the second third round last 2029 01:34:24.960 --> 01:34:27.880 year like really high and I think his upside is 2030 01:34:27.920 --> 01:34:30.239 bigger than where I got him here, so I was 2031 01:34:30.239 --> 01:34:32.279 happy to pick him, especially in a best ball league. 2032 01:34:32.279 --> 01:34:33.800 I don't have to decide what weeks to play him, 2033 01:34:33.840 --> 01:34:35.479 and I do think the Bills are going to run 2034 01:34:35.479 --> 01:34:37.720 the ball a lot and that'll be problematic for Kincaid. 2035 01:34:38.079 --> 01:34:39.439 But I think that's priced in here. 2036 01:34:39.960 --> 01:34:41.960 There's nowhere to go but up, and you're right, it's 2037 01:34:42.039 --> 01:34:42.479 priced in. 2038 01:34:42.600 --> 01:34:44.039 I couldn't get any worse than last year. 2039 01:34:44.840 --> 01:34:48.920 Yeah, that's right, right man, dead right. The proverbial dead 2040 01:34:49.000 --> 01:34:51.199 camp bounced. Joe Vango will come. 2041 01:34:51.079 --> 01:34:55.560 Here, Joe, the first nine rounds, you were SAMs quarterback. 2042 01:34:55.920 --> 01:34:58.600 At the point you drafted Fields in the tenth round. 2043 01:34:58.640 --> 01:35:00.479 Here at the ten ten, did you you made up 2044 01:35:00.479 --> 01:35:03.199 your mind like, Okay, I'm drafting Fields here. I'm going 2045 01:35:03.239 --> 01:35:04.520 to get at least two more guys. 2046 01:35:06.000 --> 01:35:09.520 I do lean late round quarterback once we get to 2047 01:35:09.560 --> 01:35:11.880 the tenth. I have a bit of a bias towards Fields. 2048 01:35:12.159 --> 01:35:14.039 I've been a big fan of his in Dynasty. I 2049 01:35:14.039 --> 01:35:16.800 had too much of him, unfortunately as value dropped. But 2050 01:35:16.840 --> 01:35:19.359 he's had a bounce back, obviously signing with the Jets 2051 01:35:19.359 --> 01:35:22.000 and having at least hopefully a one year window to 2052 01:35:22.119 --> 01:35:25.479 reprove himself. He's proven to be a great fantasy asset, 2053 01:35:25.880 --> 01:35:29.359 not a great real life quarterback asset. But I'm hoping 2054 01:35:29.520 --> 01:35:32.600 he can figure that out. But in this case, I 2055 01:35:32.640 --> 01:35:35.720 think he's going to get hopefully seventeen starts, and we've 2056 01:35:35.760 --> 01:35:38.600 seen what he does when he starts. He runs the 2057 01:35:38.600 --> 01:35:41.680 ball a lot, he can scramble for big touchdowns, and 2058 01:35:41.920 --> 01:35:45.760 he creates big plays out of nothing. You almost hope 2059 01:35:45.800 --> 01:35:48.800 he settles down a little bit from that townpoint in Dynasty, 2060 01:35:48.840 --> 01:35:51.520 But for this particular league, I'm just hoping he gives 2061 01:35:51.560 --> 01:35:53.520 me twelve great startuple weeks. 2062 01:35:53.560 --> 01:35:58.319 Here, Joe, the pick of Brandon Ayuk in the eleventh round, 2063 01:35:58.359 --> 01:36:00.359 what's your expectations? What are you going to get out 2064 01:36:00.359 --> 01:36:02.159 of that pick? When does that start paying off? 2065 01:36:02.239 --> 01:36:02.880 Is it? 2066 01:36:02.920 --> 01:36:05.199 Is it week five? Is it week eight? Is it later? 2067 01:36:06.279 --> 01:36:09.039 Obviously I think you're a little bit more bullish than 2068 01:36:09.159 --> 01:36:11.800 on Ayuk that I am, but maybe rightfully. So what's 2069 01:36:11.840 --> 01:36:13.800 your expectation for what type of season he's going to 2070 01:36:13.840 --> 01:36:15.159 have coming off this injury? 2071 01:36:15.840 --> 01:36:18.439 Yeah, there was a conversation earlier, of course about Jennings 2072 01:36:18.439 --> 01:36:21.960 against pearsall. I feel like in the eleventh round I 2073 01:36:22.319 --> 01:36:26.039 could easily out, you know, outshoot both of those guys 2074 01:36:26.920 --> 01:36:29.840 once he comes back. I've heard conflicting things over the 2075 01:36:29.960 --> 01:36:32.359 last couple of months through the summer, heard a couple 2076 01:36:32.439 --> 01:36:36.720 of really positive reports, heard plenty of negative ones. Not 2077 01:36:36.760 --> 01:36:39.520 sure what to believe exactly, but I do believe in 2078 01:36:39.560 --> 01:36:42.760 Ayuk's talent. Again, from a dynasty standpoint, I think he's 2079 01:36:42.760 --> 01:36:47.640 a really talented player, and I don't think that you know, Jennings, 2080 01:36:47.680 --> 01:36:50.760 while he was fantastic last year, he doesn't have the pedigree. 2081 01:36:51.119 --> 01:36:56.079 And with Piersall there's the injury history or the recent 2082 01:36:56.079 --> 01:36:59.640 injury history, I mean more more more concerning. And then 2083 01:36:59.720 --> 01:37:01.800 also so the question about whether he's actually good or not. 2084 01:37:01.920 --> 01:37:04.199 So I think I've proven that he's a good player, 2085 01:37:04.680 --> 01:37:06.720 and he was one of the most improved players from 2086 01:37:06.720 --> 01:37:09.079 when he came out. He got benched right away and 2087 01:37:09.119 --> 01:37:11.239 then he ended up earning the coaches trust, and I 2088 01:37:11.239 --> 01:37:13.399 think he's actually a really good player. So if he's healthy, 2089 01:37:13.960 --> 01:37:17.640 I think he's a pretty good bet to actually score 2090 01:37:17.680 --> 01:37:18.960 more points than the other two guys. 2091 01:37:19.720 --> 01:37:21.359 So the other thing I want to ask you about 2092 01:37:21.399 --> 01:37:24.720 regarding the Cleveland running back situation. Tonight we talked about 2093 01:37:24.760 --> 01:37:27.479 Dylan Samson. He went in the eleventh round. Tonight, you 2094 01:37:27.479 --> 01:37:30.640 get your own board in the fifteenth what's your best 2095 01:37:30.680 --> 01:37:34.039 guess on how this again. If there's anything more confusing 2096 01:37:34.079 --> 01:37:36.319 about the Browns and their quarterback situation, it's now their 2097 01:37:36.359 --> 01:37:38.880 running back situation because of Judkins. How is this going 2098 01:37:38.960 --> 01:37:40.880 to work out? What are you foreseeing this season and 2099 01:37:40.880 --> 01:37:43.199 how you're handling the Browns running backs at the moment. 2100 01:37:44.000 --> 01:37:47.640 It's definitely confusing. I kept watching Judkins fall and even 2101 01:37:47.720 --> 01:37:49.520 as soon as a week ago, I would have probably 2102 01:37:49.520 --> 01:37:51.880 picked him a round or two sooner. Now things to 2103 01:37:51.960 --> 01:37:54.359 just seem to be so unclear about where he's going 2104 01:37:54.439 --> 01:37:54.800 to land. 2105 01:37:55.439 --> 01:37:55.880 Sampson. 2106 01:37:55.920 --> 01:38:00.159 I like his profile, good speed, good profile, content, We 2107 01:38:00.159 --> 01:38:02.640 can catch the ball a little bit. I think he's 2108 01:38:02.680 --> 01:38:06.039 got some talent and he could potentially break out. But 2109 01:38:06.439 --> 01:38:09.000 Jerome Ford is kind of like old reliable. He's been 2110 01:38:09.000 --> 01:38:13.159 on the team. He can catch the ball. He's a 2111 01:38:13.199 --> 01:38:16.279 guy that the coaches trust, and given the uncertainty with 2112 01:38:16.319 --> 01:38:19.000 the rookies, I could see him starting the year and 2113 01:38:19.079 --> 01:38:22.720 even playing eight to twelve games as sort of the 2114 01:38:22.840 --> 01:38:25.560 you know, fifty five percent guy, and that would be 2115 01:38:25.640 --> 01:38:28.279 huge in the fifteenth rounds. So even if he's getting 2116 01:38:28.319 --> 01:38:30.880 thirty to forty percent of the touches, you know, over 2117 01:38:30.920 --> 01:38:33.159 the course of the season, scores me some touchdowns, and 2118 01:38:33.279 --> 01:38:34.560 at that point in the draft, I think he's a 2119 01:38:34.560 --> 01:38:35.520 pretty good value. 2120 01:38:36.039 --> 01:38:38.079 Speaking of the draft, it has come to an end 2121 01:38:38.159 --> 01:38:42.199 with Joe Van Goo utilizing his final pick on Colt's 2122 01:38:42.279 --> 01:38:45.560 wide receiver Alec Pierce. A good best ball choice here tonight, 2123 01:38:46.800 --> 01:38:50.680 especially if if we get anything out of the quarterback 2124 01:38:50.680 --> 01:38:54.159 position in Indianapolis that could pay off in spades. Joe, 2125 01:38:54.159 --> 01:38:56.159 this this is so great that you joined us tonight. 2126 01:38:56.159 --> 01:38:59.319 Congratulations on another successful draft. Are we going to see 2127 01:38:59.359 --> 01:39:03.279 you out in Paris in Vegas this this fall in September? 2128 01:39:03.680 --> 01:39:06.800 It looks that way. Yeah, unless something pops up with work, 2129 01:39:06.880 --> 01:39:11.520 I should be there. Yeah, yes, exactly, trust me, I'm 2130 01:39:11.560 --> 01:39:13.960 avoiding those as much as. 2131 01:39:13.920 --> 01:39:16.399 It could be the best draft draft in the room too. 2132 01:39:16.760 --> 01:39:20.319 Yeah, it could be, could be my marriage anniversary. Otherwise 2133 01:39:20.319 --> 01:39:21.479 I want to be in Vegas, so. 2134 01:39:21.600 --> 01:39:22.279 Yeah, exactly. 2135 01:39:22.359 --> 01:39:23.840 Yeah, not much is going to get in the way 2136 01:39:23.840 --> 01:39:24.079 of that. 2137 01:39:25.479 --> 01:39:28.159 Joe, Thanks a lot, man, Best of luck to you 2138 01:39:28.199 --> 01:39:30.640 the rest of the drafting season, and we'll see in September. 2139 01:39:30.720 --> 01:39:31.840 Dude, thanks for having me. 2140 01:39:31.880 --> 01:39:35.520 Guys appreciate it absolutely. That's Joe van Go. Ladies, gentlemen, 2141 01:39:35.560 --> 01:39:38.279 the one hundred and sixty two time FFPC champion, and 2142 01:39:38.279 --> 01:39:39.960 I'm not making that number up. I went out and 2143 01:39:40.000 --> 01:39:40.680 counted myself. 2144 01:39:40.720 --> 01:39:47.560 I made sure of it, guys, Canadian numbers, that's true, yes, exactly. 2145 01:39:48.399 --> 01:39:50.039 We have come to the end of night two of 2146 01:39:50.079 --> 01:39:53.319 Pros versus Joe's and this is a bloodbath tonight. I mean, 2147 01:39:53.319 --> 01:39:55.479 Adam Hahn was talking about this like we got to 2148 01:39:55.479 --> 01:39:57.920 give updates on this specific league throughout the season. It 2149 01:39:58.039 --> 01:40:00.760 was a fun one. It was cutthroat, was awesome. It 2150 01:40:00.760 --> 01:40:03.560 was everything we wanted it to be. And if there's 2151 01:40:03.600 --> 01:40:06.840 any draft that could top it, it might be tomorrow's. 2152 01:40:06.920 --> 01:40:09.279 And I know I'll have you guys at my side 2153 01:40:09.359 --> 01:40:13.479 here for tomorrow night's draft as well.
