Speaker 1: Wow, everybody, It's Tuesday, March seventeenth, twenty twenty six. Welcome
Speaker 1: to the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. We're celebrating our Oscar wins.
Speaker 1: It's me and your man, MG Marcus is Growing, joined
Speaker 1: by Michael Florio and Lakwan Jones.
Speaker 2: Happy Saint Patrick's Day, Fellas, how are we? Yes?
Speaker 3: I like how you started with the oscars though, man
Speaker 3: shout out Michael B.
Speaker 2: Jordan's Big Jersey. Okay, okay, see it's from Jersey. I
Speaker 2: didn't know that idea.
Speaker 1: I was. So I was telling Florio this on a
Speaker 1: different show that I once went to the same barber
Speaker 1: as Michael B.
Speaker 2: Jordan's. So I feel like I also won an Oscar.
Speaker 3: Yes, in and Out after the cut, Dude, that is
Speaker 3: a thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know you've only lived in LA for
Speaker 1: like a couple of years, but that is legitimately a
Speaker 1: thing that happens, that people win Oscars and then they
Speaker 1: go to In and Out and they eat.
Speaker 3: I heard Jamie Lee Curtis did it, and so Mother
Speaker 3: Actors did it.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's yeah, dope, Yeah it is.
Speaker 1: It is. Actually, it's one of those things that, like
Speaker 1: you hear about it if you don't live in l A.
Speaker 1: You hear about it and you think it's sort of
Speaker 1: like ha ha ha funny, like no, but it's a
Speaker 1: thing that really happens. It has happened multiple times that
Speaker 1: somebody will win an Oscar and then they'll go get
Speaker 1: like a double double. Like you know, there's always a
Speaker 1: picture of them sitting there eating their hamburger with like
Speaker 1: this big gold statue next to them.
Speaker 2: It's a thing. Is it the one on in Hollywood? Probably?
Speaker 2: I mean, because it's just right there. You should have
Speaker 2: camped out there, Marcus when Michael B. Jordan showed up.
Speaker 2: You could have been like we out of the same
Speaker 2: barber once.
Speaker 1: Upon a time, many many, like you know, ten twelve
Speaker 1: years ago, like yeah, it was. It was actually right
Speaker 1: after he was in fruit Vale Station, so it's fairly early.
Speaker 3: Oh that was such a good one in his movie.
Speaker 2: Career, which I think was the first movie he did
Speaker 2: with our guys, Scott Porter worked with Michael B.
Speaker 3: Jordan.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, I know it's you know that show.
Speaker 1: It's a big Oscar connection because Jesse Plemons, who was
Speaker 1: in but that was nominated for Best Picture, Uh, was
Speaker 1: also in Friday Night Lights so.
Speaker 2: He has the worst story of anyone in the show.
Speaker 2: Though he did he kill a guy. He kills a man,
Speaker 2: and then they just move on like he just starts
Speaker 2: playing low.
Speaker 4: They're like, you know what, We're gonna put you on
Speaker 4: the most popular team out here.
Speaker 1: Whatever, don't worry about it. We got news to talk about.
Speaker 1: We'll get into that a little bit. Also, we figured
Speaker 1: since the bulk of free agency is done that it was.
Speaker 2: A good time for us to do a mock draft.
Speaker 1: We'll just kind of do it between the three of
Speaker 1: us be able to do three rounds right, twelve teams,
Speaker 1: so we can each sort of pretend to be four teams.
Speaker 2: I guess, I don't know.
Speaker 1: We'll do We'll do a mock draft rounds one through
Speaker 1: three and sort of figure out that where guys are slotting.
Speaker 1: At some point we will do a big, full, honest
Speaker 1: to goodness mock draft. We'll get a whole lot of
Speaker 1: people from the industry. We'll do that together. But right now,
Speaker 1: it's kind of a quick pulse or a check of
Speaker 1: the pulse. I guess on what we think is going
Speaker 1: to be. But first let's start with some news, because
Speaker 1: things have happened literally this morning. Things have happened just
Speaker 1: before we started recording this show, the biggest of them
Speaker 1: being the Dolphins are trading Jalen Waddle to the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 1: Four picks, a handful of picks, including the Broncos first
Speaker 1: round pick in twenty twenty six. Obviously it's going to
Speaker 1: be a late round pick with Denver getting all the
Speaker 1: way to the AFC Championship Game. But the first question
Speaker 1: to you, Michael le f Florio, how do you feeling
Speaker 1: about Malik Willis?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 4: This hurts, Like I think it's a good thing for
Speaker 4: Jalen Wattle, And like last week I went on Insiders
Speaker 4: and I was like, despite like hounding the table for
Speaker 4: Malik Willis, I don't really want to draft his weapons,
Speaker 4: you know, Like I think he is going to be
Speaker 4: better for Fantasy than his playmakers around him. Now it's
Speaker 4: like what I mean, tu tuo atwill Is his wide
Speaker 4: receiver one Malik Washington, Like I get it there. I
Speaker 4: know we were talking before the show like they feel
Speaker 4: like a lock to take a while receiver early in
Speaker 4: the draft now, but yeah, they're as I saw Greg
Speaker 4: Rosenthal tweet out on Twitter, they're putting difficulty mode to
Speaker 4: the max for Elie Willis, and this is kind of
Speaker 4: a one year proven deal to him, So I think
Speaker 4: I want to know if he knew this was coming
Speaker 4: or not when he decided to sign there, because I
Speaker 4: don't think he could have went to Arizona where they
Speaker 4: had McBride and Marvin Harrison Junior and Michael Wilson, so.
Speaker 2: That should have been his first option.
Speaker 4: Yes, I still like Willis, and I think he'll go
Speaker 4: even cheaper now in drafts if I could draft him
Speaker 4: as a QB two. I think he's worth the upside
Speaker 4: shot there, but it's hard to feel great about the
Speaker 4: passing numbers you're going to get, given it the system
Speaker 4: is not really proven and none of his pass catchers
Speaker 4: are as well.
Speaker 1: I mean, I had some concerns about Malik Willis just
Speaker 1: because you know, the sample size that we have of
Speaker 1: him is so low.
Speaker 2: It's so small. Mike Sanier, who does a lot of great.
Speaker 1: Analytics stuff and analyzing I should say, film study kind
Speaker 1: of stuff, then it wrote an article that basically you
Speaker 1: just said, look between you take out all the screens
Speaker 1: and sort of bubble bubble screens and swing passes, there
Speaker 1: are approximately sixty downfield throws.
Speaker 2: Now, he was very complimentary.
Speaker 1: He was hopeful that Malik Willis could really blossom there
Speaker 1: in Miami. He also wrote that article before they traded
Speaker 1: Jalen Jalen Waddles, So I don't know how he feels
Speaker 1: about that now, and that concerns me because the thing
Speaker 1: I've always said with a guy like any sort of
Speaker 1: mobile quarterback is yes, we love the running upside, but
Speaker 1: that guy also needs to put up least competent passing
Speaker 1: numbers for him to really be a fantasy relevant option.
Speaker 1: Now you take away the best receiver you had there.
Speaker 1: And yeah, we wait to see who they draft and
Speaker 1: how that player fits in. But this is a huge
Speaker 1: blow to any excitement I think we had for Mark Willis.
Speaker 4: If you took off Willis and a Chan, is there
Speaker 4: another player offense or defense that gets you excited on
Speaker 4: it like they are the worst team in football?
Speaker 3: To two hours, that's my guy, second round, the loyalty
Speaker 3: second rounder. To two hours, not playing with him, I'm
Speaker 3: you know what here is?
Speaker 2: In are my draft? I need you to the three rounds.
Speaker 1: I need you to take to two and great georch
Speaker 1: somewhere along the way.
Speaker 3: No, no, and no.
Speaker 2: In the first round.
Speaker 1: Here we go.
Speaker 3: No, we're going in the first three rounds. Man, why
Speaker 3: y'all playing.
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm just asking so.
Speaker 1: But on the other side, because you know, and we
Speaker 1: all are bow leievers to some extent, but uh, Lakwan,
Speaker 1: you're probably the biggest.
Speaker 2: Bowl liever there. Uh, this is huge for bow Knicks
Speaker 2: getting this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you you you obviously love the move
Speaker 3: for bow Knicks and having more weapons. Courtland Sutton, I
Speaker 3: do have some concerns on like how we address him
Speaker 3: in the drafts and is he a wide receiver to
Speaker 3: high in wide receiver two?
Speaker 2: Like he was very.
Speaker 3: Underwhelming last year in some games, but he's still finished
Speaker 3: outside the top twenty. But Wattle, he comes in as
Speaker 3: the speetzer guy, Like they'll be able to attack downfield
Speaker 3: as much as they want. Like we see them having
Speaker 3: Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims kind of do the same thing.
Speaker 3: It looks like Sean Payton taught them how to do
Speaker 3: diffusion dance and they turned into Jaylen Waddle. So it's
Speaker 3: more so looking at like, Okay, but you got a
Speaker 3: spezer that could stretch the field, and you add another
Speaker 3: weapon after the catch, and I think we kind of
Speaker 3: look like Corton sudden he's the odd man left out
Speaker 3: because again outside the top twenty and then where does
Speaker 3: he go now? I don't see it improving. I think
Speaker 3: this is the biggest threat he's had in house since
Speaker 3: Jerry Judy was in the building, right Like I think
Speaker 3: this is a bigger threat having Jaylen Wattle.
Speaker 1: We thought Jerry Judy was going to be a threat,
Speaker 1: and that never really had material.
Speaker 3: He kind of was in terms of target competition because
Speaker 3: those two years with Russell Wilson they were only spread
Speaker 3: apart by a couple targets. So it's like now that
Speaker 3: pie is going to be cut, He's not going to
Speaker 3: be getting one hundred and twenty one hundred and forty targets.
Speaker 1: The problem for me now is that the wide receiver
Speaker 1: room there is sort of muddled because Cortland Sutton.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a threat.
Speaker 1: It's gonna take targets away from him, but he's not
Speaker 1: going away because he's probably the most versatile of all
Speaker 1: the receivers that they previously had there. There's still, I
Speaker 1: would believe, an effort to get Marvin Mims more involved,
Speaker 1: to get Troy Franklin more involved, to get.
Speaker 2: Pat Bryant more involved. So now you're looking at five
Speaker 2: viable receiver options and you know Evan Ingram, Evan Ingram
Speaker 2: is still there for what that's worth. I mean again,
Speaker 2: Evan Ingram's.
Speaker 1: Not a guy I'm drafting, But Evan Ingram's a guy
Speaker 1: who could take enough targets to wreck somebody else's year.
Speaker 2: Right, That's sort of what it is.
Speaker 1: And we know Sean Payton is the smartest man in
Speaker 1: the room because he insists on proving it to us
Speaker 1: on a weekly basis every year. This is gonna be
Speaker 1: a really difficult wide receiver group. Like I don't know
Speaker 1: if Florida this feels like, well, you know what we
Speaker 1: talk about it, like we talked about Trevor Lawrence in
Speaker 1: the past, and we talked about CJ.
Speaker 2: Shroud in the past. Where I don't think I want any.
Speaker 1: Of these receivers necessarily, but maybe this all sort of
Speaker 1: coalesces around the quarterback again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do think it's a really good thing for
Speaker 2: bo Nicks.
Speaker 4: Wattle on a number of metrics was would be by
Speaker 4: far the best Broncos receiver last season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think the numbers show that.
Speaker 4: And I think we all just believe that, right, Like
Speaker 4: we watched them play and where like, yeah, Jalen Waddle
Speaker 4: is better than everyone that they had on their roster
Speaker 4: last year. The issue that I have because I agree,
Speaker 4: I think it helps bo Nicks, it makes him, I
Speaker 4: would say, it elevates his floor and his ceiling because
Speaker 4: he just got a number, a new number one pass
Speaker 4: catcher there.
Speaker 2: But on top of that, I.
Speaker 4: Don't know if I'm going to really be in on
Speaker 4: Jalen Waddle for what you guys were saying, right, Not
Speaker 4: only do they have a lot of options there. Remember
Speaker 4: last season, like I know, the Broncos finished seventh in
Speaker 4: past play percentage, but.
Speaker 2: It never really felt that way, Like it was always like.
Speaker 4: All right, we're gonna not let bo Nicks er it
Speaker 4: out until we absolutely have to late in games and stuff.
Speaker 4: So does that change my thinking with Wattle is There'll
Speaker 4: be weeks where I will hate myself for not drafting him.
Speaker 4: There might be a stretch where for like five six
Speaker 4: weeks he looks like a wide receiver one. But I
Speaker 4: think at the end of the day he'll have up
Speaker 4: and down weeks a lot like everyone else on Denver
Speaker 4: did last year. And I'm kind of sitting here like
Speaker 4: is he a top twenty wide receiver? I think he
Speaker 4: will settle in top twenty. But I'm looking at all
Speaker 4: these other names there and I'm like, I'm not gonna
Speaker 4: be the one most likely going after Jalen Model.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I second that because when you start looking at that
Speaker 3: top twenty list and it's like, okay, so where does
Speaker 3: Wattle fit? Because I think, honestly, looking at Courtland Sudden
Speaker 3: these past two seasons, he's probably hit his ceiling like
Speaker 3: he's a seven to eight touchdown guy, barely worth a
Speaker 3: thousand yards, a bunch of targets and seventy catches right
Speaker 3: that comes down, So it's like Wattle will probably be there,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? Hitting that ceiling ads right
Speaker 3: outside the top twenty.
Speaker 2: I'm just say so, say, how bo Knicks? Who else
Speaker 2: do you want in Denver? RJ? Harvey? Do you know?
Speaker 2: I mean? JK. Dobbins is back?
Speaker 3: He almost had six Well, look he had fifty eight
Speaker 3: targets last year. Right, we see in the back end
Speaker 3: of the season where he carried a bunch of fantasy
Speaker 3: managers to the championship, we know he gained momentum. The chemistry,
Speaker 3: the second year, it's going to be one of those
Speaker 3: seasons where we're gonna see a lot more of R. J. Harvey.
Speaker 2: They know what JK.
Speaker 3: Dobbins is. I think we do, honestly, because it's like
Speaker 3: the way he finished that back in without JK. We're like, oh, Okay,
Speaker 3: this is the guy that we know he can be.
Speaker 3: We can get him into that RB two range where
Speaker 3: he can be viable every single week. Like I think,
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, we're looking at somebody
Speaker 3: that has the talent and is in position to be
Speaker 3: able to produce.
Speaker 1: But seeing the way they used him in the playoffs
Speaker 1: makes me think that they're not so Again that part
Speaker 1: why they brought back JK.
Speaker 2: Dobbins.
Speaker 1: I mean, we saw them trying mixing and matching other guys,
Speaker 1: getting Jealil McLoughlin touches and stuff in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: That didn't give me a level of confidence.
Speaker 3: About he has his limitations right, and everybody was screaming,
Speaker 3: oh he's a loser out of free agency. How nothing changed.
Speaker 3: It's still JK. Dobbins. They didn't go out there and
Speaker 3: get it Ken Walker. They got JK. Dobbins, who was
Speaker 3: there last year, And I think we saw r J.
Speaker 3: Harvey's limitations, right, but he's still that home run hitter.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Like, but when Dobbins was there, he was purely big player,
Speaker 4: touchdown relyant, you know, like the floor was very low.
Speaker 2: And that's what.
Speaker 4: Concerns me, is him being that again, right, like not someone, Look,
Speaker 4: if he's gonna get a ding in ADP because of Dobbins,
Speaker 4: I'll be buying because I agree with LQ.
Speaker 2: I really like the talent that is RJ.
Speaker 4: Harvey, the explosiveness, the catchability out of the backfield.
Speaker 3: But you know what I'm about to slide in with.
Speaker 4: But reading that he leaves, I'm not sure that Sean
Speaker 4: Payton feels the same way that we do.
Speaker 3: I'm sliding. I'm sliding in Trayvon Tray. I'm sliding in
Speaker 3: Tray Travion. Are you drafting him?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 4: Taking Travion? Yo, you are a sick man. Was like
Speaker 4: compared to RJ last year, it was I mean, he
Speaker 4: went for over a thousand yards and double digit touchdown.
Speaker 3: Listen, listen, I'm telling you, man, RJ. Harvey second year,
Speaker 3: he's going to be exactly what we want him to be.
Speaker 3: I just I are you telling that to us? Or
Speaker 3: to Sean Payton. I'm telling that to the fantasy streets
Speaker 3: and everybody listening.
Speaker 2: You need to be going, that's Sean Payton.
Speaker 1: No, I mean I'm saying that like seriously, Like again, yes,
Speaker 1: we see the talent, we see the explosiveness, but if
Speaker 1: he's gonna get the Marvin Mims treatment where it's just
Speaker 1: like every week on Sunday. But Sean Payton's like, man,
Speaker 1: we should we should really give RJ. Harvey the ball, right,
Speaker 1: Like you have control over.
Speaker 2: That, you know.
Speaker 4: So, like throughout this since their season ended, there's been
Speaker 4: a lot of like they want to upgrade their running
Speaker 4: back spot. They're tied to that, and then they bring
Speaker 4: Dobbins back. But I'm just like, I keep putting it
Speaker 4: on Twitter like I want r J. Harvey to be
Speaker 4: the one, and I keep getting responses like even his
Speaker 4: own team doesn't want him to be the one, And
Speaker 4: I'm like, I hate to admit it, but you might
Speaker 4: be right.
Speaker 2: Which you might be right. You really might be right.
Speaker 1: In New York, the Giants signing Darnell Mooney to a
Speaker 1: one year deal with up to ten million dollars. Darnam
Speaker 1: we a good player, good player when he's healthy. We
Speaker 1: found out, you know, midway or late in the year
Speaker 1: last year that hey, maybe he wasn't healthy and that's
Speaker 1: why he wasn't putting up his best numbers. But the
Speaker 1: question becomes, LQ, you know my league Neighbors is going
Speaker 1: to be back healthy, They go and sign is isaa
Speaker 1: likely camp Scataboo is going to be back? Are there
Speaker 1: enough targets to go around in New York for Darnell
Speaker 1: Mooney to be viable?
Speaker 3: I would say yes, because if you go back to
Speaker 3: that twenty twenty four season, right, you named all these
Speaker 3: you know, skill positions, the running back who saw targets,
Speaker 3: which is you know, camp Scatiboo, whoever they draft, and
Speaker 3: then you look as a likely that could be Kyle Pitts.
Speaker 3: In sense twenty twenty four, he was a solid flex
Speaker 3: play week to week. It was kind of just like Yo,
Speaker 3: Mooney's pretty solid, and I think when he's healthy he's
Speaker 3: able to stretch the fields a to be a wide
Speaker 3: receiver too. I think this will be a nice compliment
Speaker 3: for Neighbors, who's returning back from injury, and I think
Speaker 3: Mooney has something to prove because again, he was banged
Speaker 3: up all summer all season, it's like he never really
Speaker 3: got on track to be healthy. So I think this
Speaker 3: is a great opportunity for him to go out there
Speaker 3: and do what he did in twenty twenty four, Like
Speaker 3: he generated over one hundred targets there and with the
Speaker 3: same names that we're talking about with Pitts, with Biejeon,
Speaker 3: with Drake London, et cetera. So I think he's going
Speaker 3: to have the opportunity to step up and probably be
Speaker 3: in that wide receiver three or four or even the
Speaker 3: flex range went on a week to week basis, if
Speaker 3: he's going to be that twelve to thirteen fantasy points
Speaker 3: for the game type of wide receiver.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's basically they swap out jan Dale Robinson and
Speaker 1: they put in Darnell Mooney in that spot, which which it's.
Speaker 3: Not bad, not bad.
Speaker 2: Mondell was solid last year.
Speaker 3: He was he before that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I said, I don't I don't hate to move.
Speaker 1: I think it kind of works out.
Speaker 2: Something.
Speaker 3: You got something against short kings bro not even that
Speaker 3: tall Marcus Stop, he's pretty tall.
Speaker 1: I said, like one Dale Robinson, he just sort of
Speaker 1: radicalized me against full point PPR.
Speaker 2: He's like the latest in the line that's all.
Speaker 1: Usage staying in the NFC East. The Eagles make it
Speaker 1: a couple of moves. They bring you back Dallas Goddards
Speaker 1: on a one year deal. They also and this again
Speaker 1: just happened just before we started recording this show, they
Speaker 1: signed Hollywood Brown to a one year, ten million dollar deal.
Speaker 2: Florio, either of these things moved the needle for you.
Speaker 2: It all depends on Aj Brown, right, Like, if if.
Speaker 4: Aj Brown is there, I think Dallas got it remains
Speaker 4: what he's been the last two years, which is a
Speaker 4: fringe Titan one tight end two who will who's very
Speaker 4: touchdown reliant. We'll have some weeks where he scores and
Speaker 4: he pops, will have a lot of other weeks where
Speaker 4: he doesn't get a touchdown and you're looking at single
Speaker 4: digit fantasy points. And then Markui's Brown, I think, comes
Speaker 4: in and plays that wide receiver three role that we
Speaker 4: know the Eagles love. Like it's been Jalen Rager in
Speaker 4: the past. It's been they've rotated that spot, but they
Speaker 4: really like someone who could stretch the field there and
Speaker 4: just take some defensive attention away to kind of open
Speaker 4: up stuff for the other two. I think, look, I'm
Speaker 4: a sucker for Marquis Brown. I still think he could play,
Speaker 4: but I don't think he's a redraft guy, right. I
Speaker 4: think he's like a best ball guy where you're you're
Speaker 4: hoping for that week where he catches like a fifty
Speaker 4: plus yard touchdown.
Speaker 2: There will be games like that.
Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts has a good deep ball, like we are
Speaker 4: going to see that happen. Good luck predicting when though,
Speaker 4: So that that is why I think it's all better
Speaker 4: in best ball for him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, trying to figure out the weeks to have him
Speaker 1: in the lineup and just be a headache. So redraft
Speaker 1: leagues don't. I don't think I'm gonna bother. You know,
Speaker 1: he's a new Johan Dotson, Like yeah, man, right the
Speaker 1: game I.
Speaker 2: Was trying to think of, I was like, who's their
Speaker 2: wide receiver three that they like? Yeah, he's a new
Speaker 2: Johan Dotson.
Speaker 1: Like when it hits, it'll look decent when, but most
Speaker 1: weeks that you know, you're looking at like a six
Speaker 1: point game or something, and that's just not going to
Speaker 1: be fun.
Speaker 3: If they're looking for a slot guy, they should just
Speaker 3: sign Greg Dortch. I mean why not. I mean he
Speaker 3: would be.
Speaker 1: Able to that's not going to make me want to
Speaker 1: draft that position more. I would draft him. I would
Speaker 1: draft him.
Speaker 3: Have fun doors right, bring them back, bring him back home.
Speaker 1: I think I think they should have won two punch
Speaker 1: since you love them so much. To be Greg Dortch
Speaker 1: and too too out.
Speaker 3: Well, listen, he had a short stint with us. It
Speaker 3: didn't work out, so he went to the Cardinals. But
Speaker 3: I think, honestly, your room's a little full right now.
Speaker 3: We're going to be drafting a wide receiver as well.
Speaker 2: I mean, you love these guys so much.
Speaker 3: I love them.
Speaker 1: Make the pitch to less Sneeze that they need to
Speaker 1: bring them back. Bring him back in the phone.
Speaker 2: You should write one note to them every day until
Speaker 2: they sign him. Right, No, you know that's what it
Speaker 2: should be. Good, all right, the block me. We are
Speaker 2: going to.
Speaker 1: Tell you the guys that we really love as we
Speaker 1: start a three round mock draft, twelve teams, three guys,
Speaker 1: twelve teams three into one leaves something weird like that,
Speaker 1: I have no idea stick around. Let's come up next
Speaker 1: year on the other Fantasy football podcast. Time to put
Speaker 1: together our three round mind draft. Now that we are
Speaker 1: through the heavy part of free agency and sort of
Speaker 1: see how we feel about guys uh at this point
Speaker 1: in the off season. So we did a really scientific
Speaker 1: method in the break and we came up with Lakwan's
Speaker 1: going first, Floyda is going second, and I'm taking the
Speaker 1: third pick.
Speaker 2: We'll make this a snake draft so that I.
Speaker 1: Guess that means I get back to backs at the
Speaker 1: end of round one, start of round two. Blah blah
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. All right, so Lakwan Jones, you are
Speaker 1: now on the clock. Who was the one dot one
Speaker 1: for you?
Speaker 3: Should I take it all the way down to the
Speaker 3: last second?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Please, don't.
Speaker 3: Take it all the way down then the last seconds.
Speaker 1: That is so frustrating to be like because you know,
Speaker 1: you know the raiders are going to do that, right
Speaker 1: and like we know must.
Speaker 2: Say, I'm pretty sure the networks tell them to do that.
Speaker 1: Oh, because everybody's going to get their a little you know,
Speaker 1: ha ha ha.
Speaker 2: And there to the ridders do like.
Speaker 4: Think about it, if they immediately came out and took
Speaker 4: their pick, we wouldn't get to hear about the saddest
Speaker 4: thing to happen in Mendolz's life, right, you know.
Speaker 2: Plus we get you know, we gotta get a shot.
Speaker 1: I'm sure if Tom Brady on the phone with somebody
Speaker 1: and blah blah, yeah, yeah, so it was any others.
Speaker 1: Don't don't do that. Just tell USHO you're picking, all right.
Speaker 3: So I think the debate, honestly, at one on one
Speaker 3: is gonna be Gibbs or Bijon. And again we've said
Speaker 3: on this pot plenty of times it don't matter. So
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go Gibbs one one.
Speaker 2: All right, So Jamior Gibbs is the first one off
Speaker 2: the board.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go out on a limb and say,
Speaker 1: I know where you're going with. I'm just gonna start
Speaker 1: writing it in now, but you go on ahead.
Speaker 4: Whichever one ol Q didn't take I was gonna take.
Speaker 4: So he took Gibbs, who I also would have took
Speaker 4: at one, so I'll take it.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: So there you go. So at number three an easy
Speaker 1: choice for me. I'm gonna take Pook and a Kua
Speaker 1: at the number three spot.
Speaker 2: So uh, Lookwan, it.
Speaker 3: Is back to you at four, Jamaar Chase right there.
Speaker 3: I think that's the spot. You know, you can go
Speaker 3: either or there as well.
Speaker 1: All right, So we got the two running backs, two
Speaker 1: wide receivers off the board the Florida Where you want
Speaker 1: to go at number five?
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 4: I kind of hate the fifth pick, but I will
Speaker 4: go JSN all right, makes it feel a little bit scarier,
Speaker 4: but I still believe in his talent.
Speaker 1: All right, So Jackson Smith and Jigba is the number
Speaker 1: five pick off the board.
Speaker 3: Already?
Speaker 2: What do you mean you already? Now? I'm no, I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm not taking who if you get paying Christian mccaffre,
Speaker 1: I'm not taking Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: I mean I made it clear that I am not
Speaker 1: on board with CMC as a first round pick this year.
Speaker 3: He's on your L's list.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 4: So.
Speaker 1: I mean if that's going to be the asking price
Speaker 1: for him, then yeah, he is going to be on
Speaker 1: on the L's list for me. So I think for
Speaker 1: me at number six, I'm gonna go. I don't know
Speaker 1: if this is a reach or not, but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take I'm on Ross Saint Brown here at this point.
Speaker 3: No, Yeah, that's not the sexy pick, but that's the
Speaker 3: right pick.
Speaker 1: But it's like he's the guy who every year he
Speaker 1: falls to like late first, early second, and he still
Speaker 1: you know, puts up top five wide receiver numbers. So
Speaker 1: at some point, at some point, like don't we have
Speaker 1: to sort of draft him as such if that's what
Speaker 1: he's going to continue to do.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, I'm gonna take ours book. You're spot you know, yeah,
Speaker 2: uh okay, So then Lakwan, it's back to you.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take justin Jefferson.
Speaker 2: Why are you saying that's so sad.
Speaker 3: Because I'm still a little on sure about Kyler, But
Speaker 3: I think this is an upgrade at quarterback, so we
Speaker 3: can hope that you know, him being funneled a massive
Speaker 3: amount of targets that he can produce with these targets
Speaker 3: and they're valuable.
Speaker 1: Is this is this why we have the Kyler conversation
Speaker 1: because I feel this is a good spot.
Speaker 2: I feel like this is a good spot to have
Speaker 2: the Kyler conversation.
Speaker 1: We should let's do it because we're all just locked
Speaker 1: into this. Yeah, like, okay, he's an upgrade over JJ McCarthy,
Speaker 1: but that doesn't feel like it's saying.
Speaker 2: A whole lot.
Speaker 1: And everybody's like, well Koc is a quarterback, whisper, Well,
Speaker 1: he's a quarterback, whisper, Why is JJ McCarthy so bad?
Speaker 1: Why are we moving on from JJ McCarthy if he's
Speaker 1: a quarterback, whisper? Is he just that bad of a talent?
Speaker 1: Are we sure we haven't already seen the best of Kyler?
Speaker 1: Like I know, we keep holding on it like he's
Speaker 1: running like he ran for eight hundred yards in twenty twenty, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, at some point, can.
Speaker 2: We just admit that maybe he's mid with a little
Speaker 2: bit of mobility.
Speaker 3: I would say this, he's accurate, Like he doesn't have
Speaker 3: a season under sixty percent of the completion rate, and
Speaker 3: I think that matters. Where As you're looking at JJ McCarthy,
Speaker 3: it's kind of Anthony Richardson, like, right, it's not there,
Speaker 3: Like you're not completing.
Speaker 2: About without the massive arm strength.
Speaker 3: Yead like it's just not there. So I think, honestly,
Speaker 3: I'm just hoping that the ball can go into justin
Speaker 3: Jeffers's hands. I don't care where at on the field,
Speaker 3: just make sure he catches it. And that's one point
Speaker 3: in PPR format.
Speaker 2: I think, just Kyle, I.
Speaker 4: Agree, Kyler might just be mid, but that might be
Speaker 4: a huge upgrade over what they had last season throwing because.
Speaker 3: We're going from bad to mid that the gap is
Speaker 3: like this, like you can't see it on screen.
Speaker 2: We've also seen him produced with Nick Mullens. We've seen
Speaker 2: him produce with the passion now like it and on
Speaker 2: to it. Like last year was a bad year.
Speaker 4: For Justin Jefferson. He put up one thousand and fifty yards.
Speaker 4: It was the two touchdowns that really dragged him down.
Speaker 4: He had one hundred and forty targets. Still, like I
Speaker 4: do agree. I think he is a first round pick
Speaker 4: as well, and I think Kyler has him pointing up.
Speaker 4: But more than anything, I just think last year was
Speaker 4: I think he also had his worst year, Like he
Speaker 4: had some bad drops and stuff, and I think part
Speaker 4: of that was because he was just so frustrated with.
Speaker 3: He didn't practice all summer either with a hamstring injury.
Speaker 3: So it's like it's just a terrible season.
Speaker 2: I didn't that didn't make his hands man and J. J.
Speaker 2: McCarthy was in and out, remember like.
Speaker 4: He got hurt right away and then he had he
Speaker 4: was playing through like broken bones in his hands.
Speaker 1: Like I was going back and forth on on Blue
Speaker 1: Sky with our pal broto Pat Pat Doherty and he
Speaker 1: brought up the point to do we maybe overrate the
Speaker 1: fact that Kevin O'Connell got a few usable weeks out
Speaker 1: of Nick Mullins and Potentia and Josh Dobbs and what
Speaker 1: have you, Like, I mean, you know, we went through
Speaker 1: a stretch where Taylor Heineke was fantasy viable, right, I
Speaker 1: mean Sam Howell was fantasy viable, like at some point,
Speaker 1: like maybe guys just catch fire for a few weeks
Speaker 1: and maybe it's not always the coach.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I just got a tape on them
Speaker 2: and stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I just you know, I know we
Speaker 1: have we have crowned Kevin O'Connell, this bona fide quarterback whisper,
Speaker 1: and then like for him to fail so spectatlely with
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy is like, all right, maybe he just had
Speaker 1: dudes who just figured it out, Like did did koc.
Speaker 2: Make Sam Darlan who he was?
Speaker 1: Or did Kyle Shanahan figure something out that one year
Speaker 1: he was a backup in San Francisco? Like Kyler's gonna
Speaker 1: I think illuminate a lot of things for us about
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell and what he does.
Speaker 2: I think he's starting with the higher base point though
Speaker 2: with Kyler, like.
Speaker 1: Oh that's true. Yeah, that's true. No argument for me
Speaker 1: on that one. So all right, I feel like we'll
Speaker 1: have more conversations about Kyler, but yeah, I feel like
Speaker 1: I feel like this is critical to the Justin Jefferson
Speaker 1: draft price, right, is what we think about Kyler, Murray,
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell and that offense. And you know, we just
Speaker 1: all sort of roundly declared like it's great again, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know. I mean, maybe it's just
Speaker 1: me with too much time on my hands and you know,
Speaker 1: thinking a little bit too much, but like maybe maybe
Speaker 1: it's not. What if it's not, I don't know. All right,
Speaker 1: So at number eight, Florio, it is back to you.
Speaker 1: We've got we had two running backs come off the board,
Speaker 1: and then we've gone on a wide receiver run five
Speaker 1: straight since then? Do you keep that going or do
Speaker 1: you go back to running back?
Speaker 4: No, I'm gonna keep it going. I'm gonna go with
Speaker 4: the You only need two emojis to spell his name. C. D.
Speaker 2: Lamb. I think Lamb might.
Speaker 4: Be being a little bit underrated, And I know it's
Speaker 4: hard to say that as a first round pick, but
Speaker 4: This is a guy who the last couple of years
Speaker 4: has been going top five, top six, right, it's been
Speaker 4: like Jefferson Chase, Ceedee Lamb or the Big Three. Last
Speaker 4: year wasn't the best year for him, but we did
Speaker 4: see him come on strong at the end. He's got
Speaker 4: clear chemistry with Dak Prescott and the Cowboys team kind
Speaker 4: of feels I know they've made some improvements to that defense,
Speaker 4: but it does very much so feel like it's gonna
Speaker 4: be similar to last year, where Dak's gonna have to
Speaker 4: air it out a bunch, and I think we could
Speaker 4: see I know last year for much of the stretch,
Speaker 4: like Pickens was kind of the one having the field day.
Speaker 4: I think defenses are gonna adjust now and give him
Speaker 4: even more attention this year, which, like CD Lamb in
Speaker 4: the slot, could be such a cheat code. I can
Speaker 4: never quit this guy. I truly believe he is one
Speaker 4: of the best talents still walking the planet. So even
Speaker 4: coming off a quote unquote down year, give me all
Speaker 4: the CD Lamb.
Speaker 1: All right, So we've got what six or seven wide
Speaker 1: receivers in our late one two or six six wide
Speaker 1: receivers in a row after the first two picks off
Speaker 1: the board.
Speaker 2: Are running back.
Speaker 1: So now I'm sitting here at nine, and I got thoughts,
Speaker 1: and I'm looking at a couple of different.
Speaker 2: Names, and I'm not sure where to go, and so.
Speaker 1: I think I may go back on what I just
Speaker 1: said a little bit earlier in this round, and I
Speaker 1: do think maybe this is the Christian McCaffrey spot here
Speaker 1: at number nine.
Speaker 2: It feels right, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's mostly just based on the names that are still
Speaker 1: on the board at this point. I just he's not
Speaker 1: going to get the same number of touches as he
Speaker 1: did last year, in part because they just I don't
Speaker 1: think they can afford to load him up with that
Speaker 1: number of touches.
Speaker 2: But also, you know, them bringing in Mike Evans, them
Speaker 2: bringing in.
Speaker 1: For whatever, Christian Kirk, for whatever, that's worth having many
Speaker 1: games they get out of Christian Kirk. You know, I
Speaker 1: think you're going to see Brian Robinson get an expanded
Speaker 1: role this year to sort of keep some of the
Speaker 1: pressure off of McCaffrey. I don't see you can see
Speaker 1: him getting that level of touches. But again, I think
Speaker 1: when you look at the range of outcomes for him,
Speaker 1: especially compared to some of the other names off the board,
Speaker 1: there was one other name that I really seriously considered.
Speaker 1: I would imagine he's going to go probably in the
Speaker 1: next couple of picks, so I'm not going to say it,
Speaker 1: but he does feel kind of like the best option here.
Speaker 1: So this sort of like is like, I guess, splitting
Speaker 1: the difference with where I would like.
Speaker 2: To take him with where I think he's going to go.
Speaker 3: That was me last year. Then I remembered he's a
Speaker 3: freak athlete. He's in that tier, so I think he'll
Speaker 3: have a similar season. But again, he's on your l's list,
Speaker 3: so you can't get any flack about it.
Speaker 2: So it's okay, I appreciate that. Just back to you,
Speaker 2: Lakwan at number ten, Where do you want to go here?
Speaker 3: All right, y'all know where I'm going, man, Chrys o'lava,
Speaker 3: what are we doing? I'm taking them? Okay, come on, yes,
Speaker 3: I think that's where I will be comfortable taking him.
Speaker 3: And again this is obviously with Kyler Murray readjusting and
Speaker 3: everything with Justin Jefferson, So I think he will be,
Speaker 3: you know, up there in the rinks.
Speaker 2: That's a big glow up for Chrys o'lave making it
Speaker 2: into the top ten in drafts. That's a huge growth, man,
Speaker 2: that's a huge glow up.
Speaker 1: So all right, so we are still looking at a
Speaker 1: ton of wide receivers off the board in the first round.
Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think that's a surprise. I
Speaker 1: think that's how most drafts are going to go. We
Speaker 1: got three running backs gone, seven wide receivers gone.
Speaker 2: Florio, you are at number eleven.
Speaker 4: What would you like to do the name that I
Speaker 4: thought LQ was going to say, I will say for him,
Speaker 4: Big Jersey, gimme John Taylor. Because we were talking about
Speaker 4: last show with.
Speaker 2: Like Dan Jones, the Achilles is going to be able to.
Speaker 4: Be mobile and stuff. I think that's all great for
Speaker 4: Jonathan Taylor. If Daniel Jones is running less, we're gonna
Speaker 4: get even more Taylor carries. We know he's gonna get
Speaker 4: a bunch of volume near the goal line.
Speaker 2: But if the mobility is an issue, do we get
Speaker 2: even more dump off?
Speaker 4: And we already know Daniel Jones is gonna dump the
Speaker 4: ball off at a pretty high rate. So I look,
Speaker 4: there was a stretch last year where it looked like
Speaker 4: if you didn't have Jonathan Taylor, you weren't going to
Speaker 4: win your league. I know he cooled off down the stretch,
Speaker 4: but it's hard to leave Jonathan Taylor not on the board.
Speaker 2: In the late first round.
Speaker 1: He was the other name I was looking at along
Speaker 1: with Christian McCaffrey. I was like, I was going back
Speaker 1: and forth and back and forth, and I'm just like, ah,
Speaker 1: I feel again the range of outcomes with McCaffrey.
Speaker 2: I know they are going to do their best. They're
Speaker 2: gonna go.
Speaker 1: Out of their way to manufacture touches for McCaffrey. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's always going to be the case
Speaker 1: for Jonathan Taylor. So that was why I went to
Speaker 1: CMC over JT. So, yeah, all right, so we're in
Speaker 1: in of the first round, the last pick in the
Speaker 1: first round.
Speaker 2: I'm sitting here.
Speaker 1: There's still a lot of good options out there, and
Speaker 1: Florida you can rejoice. I'm taking your boy, Jimbo Cook
Speaker 1: taking James.
Speaker 2: That was the only I considered. I thought was going
Speaker 2: to take.
Speaker 3: Staring at how staring at him, But you know, I'm
Speaker 3: a big o' lobby fan. Now he's so h yeah,
Speaker 3: uh so, yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say James Cook here again. You know, I
Speaker 1: curious to see what.
Speaker 3: The bills one twelve again from the last mock too. Actually, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: so kind of lock.
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of where he's going to be
Speaker 1: locked in because we know, again you want to talk
Speaker 1: about a guy that they're going to make sure he
Speaker 1: gets his touches. Uh, he's gonna get targets, he's gonna
Speaker 1: get carries. You know, curious to see what the offense
Speaker 1: is going to look like with DJ more in it now.
Speaker 1: But I mean, I feel like when it comes to
Speaker 1: running backs, he is one of the surest things you
Speaker 1: got out there. So I'm going to take him at
Speaker 1: the one twelve. So that's the end of round one.
Speaker 1: We will take a quick break, come back and get
Speaker 1: you ready for round two here as we can say,
Speaker 1: you are three.
Speaker 2: Round mock draft on the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast.
Speaker 1: Back doing a three round mock draft here on the pod,
Speaker 1: and we get ready to start off round two. And
Speaker 1: since we're gonna we're gonna do this as real as possible,
Speaker 1: even though there's only three of us, and uh, we're
Speaker 1: gonna just snake draft. So I will take the first
Speaker 1: pick in round two and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't get super excited about this, basical because the
Speaker 1: conversation we just had.
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna take Devon a chan here.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I got I'm not gonna lie to you.
Speaker 2: I have concerns.
Speaker 1: I certainly have concerns about it, But at the moment,
Speaker 1: it's kind of the brightest light in that Miami universe.
Speaker 2: He's the only light. He's the only light in that
Speaker 2: Miami universe.
Speaker 3: He's the will Smith means he really is.
Speaker 1: He's in the living room, no furniture, you know, just
Speaker 1: about to turn off the lights and walk out. You know,
Speaker 1: he's gonna get plenty of touches. We know how explosive
Speaker 1: he can be. Yeah, maybe he doesn't get as many
Speaker 1: targets with Malik Willis as he would have with Tua,
Speaker 1: but he's still going to get his targets. That was
Speaker 1: a thing that the packers did a lot with Milk.
Speaker 1: Willis would have him just throw swing passes and screens
Speaker 1: and that sort of thing. I don't think he's gonna
Speaker 1: stop doing that, So.
Speaker 2: It's going to be there.
Speaker 1: I'm nervous, definitely nervous about it, but I'm sort of
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna do that. Like you know, I took
Speaker 2: my hand off the chess piece. The move is made
Speaker 2: now right. This is a This is a.
Speaker 1: A pick about talent and opportunity over situation.
Speaker 2: And that's sort of where I'm at with Devon a Chan.
Speaker 1: So yeah, all right, so I send it back to
Speaker 1: you Floria at number two in the second round, I'm
Speaker 1: debating two names.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with the one that I there's one
Speaker 4: that I think I might.
Speaker 2: Still be able to get. With my next pick, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go with my boy, Elik Neighbors here. Yeah see,
Speaker 2: I didn't think he would make it back to me.
Speaker 3: I was literally looking at his name. I was like,
Speaker 3: that's where I'm going right here.
Speaker 5: Just you gotta be quicker than that. Oh no, you
Speaker 5: guys know, I love Milite Neighbors, and he's going to
Speaker 5: be the one that pushes me the most on this
Speaker 5: rule because I've talked about on the pod, like I'm
Speaker 5: trying to get away from drafting players coming off of
Speaker 5: a severe injury because usually that first year back.
Speaker 2: Isn't quite their their normal self.
Speaker 4: But I think Elik Neighbors, like you guys know, I've
Speaker 4: said this for a while now. I think the talent's
Speaker 4: up there with like Jefferson and Chase and Steedee Lamb
Speaker 4: and like the elites of the elite at the position,
Speaker 4: and then a lot of volume a team that could
Speaker 4: be trailing a lot. So despite the injury, I still
Speaker 4: love elite neighbors.
Speaker 1: All right, So neighbors off the board. Second pick in
Speaker 1: the second round. The Laquana is back to you at
Speaker 1: the two dot three.
Speaker 2: What do you want to do?
Speaker 3: It was supposed to be neighbors. But again, thanks, but uh,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go trade my bride. I'm gonna go trade
Speaker 3: my bride. Listen, you got Kobe said back there, Micha
Speaker 3: laflor there he understands the assignment. Man, get the ball
Speaker 3: to trade mc bride.
Speaker 2: I don't hate the pick. I just can't. I just
Speaker 2: don't want to pull the trigger on a tight end this.
Speaker 3: I mean, look, it's the same situation. It's it's one
Speaker 3: of the situations that we know this team is not
Speaker 3: going to be good. Defense is still middle of the pack.
Speaker 3: There's still, you know, a team that's trying to build
Speaker 3: and get to that point. And Trey just simply remains
Speaker 3: the most reliable and best target they have. Like I
Speaker 3: like Michael Wilson, I like Marmon Harrison, but they're not
Speaker 3: trade McBride man. And we already know what he could
Speaker 3: bring to the table out there, having that monster season, right.
Speaker 1: And now they let him score touchdowns, right, because that
Speaker 1: was the thing you didn't do two years ago.
Speaker 2: He didn't score any touchdowns. Now he is, So that's great.
Speaker 3: At number four, I'm gonna go Amary and Hampton here.
Speaker 3: Uh wow, Okay.
Speaker 2: That was the third name I was considering that.
Speaker 3: I was like, hell, like, I honestly thought like he
Speaker 3: would fall later in that second round.
Speaker 2: But here, I'm okay.
Speaker 1: The best thing that happened to Amari and Hampton this offseason,
Speaker 1: I guess the two best things one, Mike McDaniel coming
Speaker 1: over to alec Ingold coming over yep, having that fullback
Speaker 1: that blocking to open holes. Friend of the show, alec Ingold. Yeah,
Speaker 1: those are the two best things that happened. So now
Speaker 1: you've got an offensive coordinator who can scheme up the
Speaker 1: run game. I guess to go along with the head
Speaker 1: coach that we know likes to run the football. But
Speaker 1: you got to know see who can scheme up the
Speaker 1: run game. Uh, you got a fullback now to help
Speaker 1: lead the way. You know, he's alec Ingold. I think
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel was in San Francisco for years. Alec Ingold
Speaker 1: can sort of be Kyle hughesed checked light if they
Speaker 1: want him to be that more importantly in the blocking game.
Speaker 1: And they're getting their offensive lineback healthy again. So all
Speaker 1: these things sort of add up to Omari and Hampton
Speaker 1: really having a big step forward in season two.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I told you guys last week, I think he's going
Speaker 4: to be in my top ten, but I didn't think
Speaker 4: every like he.
Speaker 2: Now I'm thinking, oh man, top ten is going to
Speaker 2: be what he is like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're going to feed him that. They're going to
Speaker 3: feed him a lot, you know, the workload. Keith Mitchell
Speaker 3: an interesting handcuff that might have standalone value later in
Speaker 3: drafts too. That now that he's in l A, I'm
Speaker 3: still room for Videl he's back as well. But that's
Speaker 3: going to be an explosive to whoever it is.
Speaker 1: I think I think I might have to tap out
Speaker 1: Ontomni Medal. I was there for a couple of years,
Speaker 1: but with what they've got. I might have to tap.
Speaker 2: Out on that one.
Speaker 1: So Mitchell, Yeah, two, Floria, what do you want to do?
Speaker 4: Isn't even a pick I really I would be excited
Speaker 4: to make, but it just feels like it it's got
Speaker 4: to be the guy, right give me Drake London.
Speaker 2: Oh that's not what I thought you were. Rake. Well,
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say it. I'm okay.
Speaker 1: My name pops up organically and then.
Speaker 4: Look, I probably won't be the person drafting Drake London
Speaker 4: in a lot of drafts because I think he probably
Speaker 4: I think the three of us we talk a lot
Speaker 4: and stuff. We we have kind of similar opinions. We're
Speaker 4: all a little bit lower on Drake London, but I
Speaker 4: think consensus wise, he's going to be higher than this,
Speaker 4: and I'm I'm probably not willing to be that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but again, it's one of those things where I'm
Speaker 1: looking at a lot of the names available and you know,
Speaker 1: he's still one of the best ones out there. There
Speaker 1: are there are two names that are out there that
Speaker 1: I'm surprised I haven't been called. One I'm very surprised
Speaker 1: has not been called yet. The other one maybe not
Speaker 1: quite as surprised, but maybe Lakwan will take one of
Speaker 1: those here at the two.
Speaker 2: Six, I will take Barkley. I was one of the names.
Speaker 3: Because I I think at this point it's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: let's get Saquon off the board. Like what is he
Speaker 3: doing here? You know what I mean? Because usually we
Speaker 3: see him going the first round, the first seven picks
Speaker 3: or the back end of the first round, early second,
Speaker 3: but here it's like, yeah, no brainer, I gotta take.
Speaker 1: Them, all right, So we got we got Saquon Barkley
Speaker 1: finally off the board.
Speaker 2: Back to me at to seven and.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go, I'm gonna go brock Bowers here,
Speaker 1: just yeah, he's got that upside like you know, the
Speaker 1: new quarterback coming in. It really hasn't mattered who the
Speaker 1: quarterback has been for the most part with brock Bowers
Speaker 1: because you look at the wide receiver room there in
Speaker 1: Vegas and nothing about it really blows you away.
Speaker 2: So as long as he's healthy and on.
Speaker 1: The field, he's going to get targets and any position
Speaker 1: that's really thin, brock Bowers is about to set it
Speaker 1: and forget it as you can have there.
Speaker 3: So uh, you know, Clint Kubiak going the sticks man,
Speaker 3: I mean he might be doing some chip blocking as well.
Speaker 2: I mean doing it. I don't like that. No, that's
Speaker 2: what Michael Mayors. That's what Michael Mayer is for.
Speaker 1: That's what Michael Mayer is for, is to do the
Speaker 1: chip blocking and the Brown Letbauer's run routes and that
Speaker 1: sort of thing. So see, we'll see Florio back to
Speaker 1: you at the two eight.
Speaker 4: I'm debating between two very I would say three very
Speaker 4: closely ranked wide receivers.
Speaker 2: But you know what, I'm gonna have some fun. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go with my.
Speaker 4: Guy, give me a J Brown because I still believe
Speaker 4: in the talent. I think talent wise, he might be
Speaker 4: top five at the position. I think whether he's playing
Speaker 4: in Philly or somewhere else, I expect more volume than
Speaker 4: he had last year. I think last year was the
Speaker 4: absolute floor for AJ Brown and the Eagles offense. Like
Speaker 4: new Oc coming in, they're hot cold every other year
Speaker 4: all that, but it just felt like last year was
Speaker 4: like he bottomed out, and I think there's more potential there.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be surprised at off he finished top five
Speaker 4: a wide receiver this year and getting him like last year,
Speaker 4: I was willing to take him in the middle of the
Speaker 4: first round, so to get him in the middle of
Speaker 4: the second round and maybe even cheaper on draft Day,
Speaker 4: I could easily get back on board on AJ Brown.
Speaker 3: All right, stuck in Philly, I mean question for you.
Speaker 1: I really don't know what you're gonna say here, but
Speaker 1: would you trade Davonte Adams to get a J.
Speaker 2: Brown?
Speaker 3: No? Hard, No, I want to keep Davante adamste First
Speaker 3: of all, if we're going to talk about this trade
Speaker 3: room over the weekend about Davante Adams, I can't believe
Speaker 3: that would be even true because, first of all, like
Speaker 3: I would rather keep DeVante Adams than getting AJ Brown
Speaker 3: where we've kind of seen him be a distraction, We've
Speaker 3: kind of seen him kind of be the second Fiddal
Speaker 3: Like I'm kind of good right Like, if the if
Speaker 3: the trade was going to happen, I would rather you know,
Speaker 3: us have a J. Brown and keeping Davante Adams to
Speaker 3: be you know, done stock HoTT the force that we
Speaker 3: already are.
Speaker 2: I want no part to DeVante Adams. I'm not him,
Speaker 2: I'm not doing anything.
Speaker 1: It's hard to think he's going to be the same
Speaker 1: level of touchdown Vulture this year that.
Speaker 2: He was last year.
Speaker 4: If you take away the touchdowns, he wasn't that good.
Speaker 4: Like he's declining.
Speaker 3: Relax, Okay, relax, he listen. It was a weird year
Speaker 3: without Stafford all summer, the hamstring injury in the back
Speaker 3: end the season, the lack of.
Speaker 4: M I also don't think they're going to have the
Speaker 4: numbers that like, Stafford's not going to put up those
Speaker 4: numbers again.
Speaker 3: Back to back MVP. In my book, we'll see.
Speaker 1: She put up career best stats at thirty seven. Like
Speaker 1: it does seem like that's asking a line like hesing,
Speaker 1: he can tell a good year. Forty seven hundred yards
Speaker 1: and forty six touchdowns.
Speaker 2: That's a lot.
Speaker 3: Man. Tyson falls to us were good.
Speaker 2: Most of Devonte's number like metrics are career worse.
Speaker 4: Like I, I just I'm gonna let someone else take
Speaker 4: him because DeVante Adams or Mike Evans.
Speaker 2: I would take Mike.
Speaker 3: Why he had career lows last year and more because
Speaker 3: he was.
Speaker 2: Hurt hurt too.
Speaker 3: Adams got hurt, but he was battling injuries.
Speaker 2: He was on the field for most of the Like,
Speaker 2: that's not even a fair comparison.
Speaker 1: Bro. That's yes, it is, Bro, Like you're not even
Speaker 1: comparing two things that are the same.
Speaker 2: Also, there's no there's no pukin Nakua.
Speaker 4: There taking away one hundred and fifty targets from UH.
Speaker 1: Anyway, number nine, lakwan, it's your pick at two nine.
Speaker 3: Give me Pickens when George Pickens right there, because I
Speaker 3: think we're gonna see that combination of CD, a healthy
Speaker 3: CD hopefully and Pickings still having those thirty plus fantasy
Speaker 3: point type of games just being what he brings to
Speaker 3: the table. And Florio said it earlier like, I don't
Speaker 3: think that Cowboys defense has gotten significantly better where that
Speaker 3: is still going to go out there chucking the ball.
Speaker 1: All right, Okay, so George Pickens off the board. So
Speaker 1: both Cowboys receivers gone within.
Speaker 2: The first two rounds. I don't think that's a major
Speaker 2: surprise there at ten M there's still one name.
Speaker 1: It's like hanging out there that I'm kind of surprised,
Speaker 1: but I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't feel like I want to touch it. So
Speaker 2: I do it for style points, man, Come on, just
Speaker 2: go ahead, style points. I don't. I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to get style points. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: get fantasy points. You want to drop to the third.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not trying to make a statement. I'm
Speaker 1: just telling you. I guess the statement is, I'm not
Speaker 1: comfortable drafting this guy.
Speaker 2: In the first two rounds.
Speaker 1: Instead, instead, I'm gonna take Nico Collins. That's what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do this because you know, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: uncertainty about things in Houston.
Speaker 2: He's not one of them. So, uh.
Speaker 1: The Texans might have nine nine problems, but Nico a one.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take care. I'm taking him at ten.
Speaker 1: All right, Florida, we're gonna take it eleven now that
Speaker 1: I snatched your guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was one hundred. I was like Nico Collins automatic.
Speaker 4: Uh So now let's see I will take I'm gonna
Speaker 4: I'm gonna make a splash pick. Here, give me Jeremiah Love.
Speaker 2: Hey, k is awesome.
Speaker 4: He's going to top ten pick in the real life draft.
Speaker 4: I comp him to a faster Le'Veon Bell. That's who
Speaker 4: like my player. Comp is for him, and I think
Speaker 4: right now people have him ranked a little bit lower
Speaker 4: than where I just took him. But if he ends
Speaker 4: up in a favorable spot, which I believe he will,
Speaker 4: because if you're going to take him where he's gonna go.
Speaker 4: You're gonna give him a bunch of volume. I think,
Speaker 4: just like with Hampton and Henderson last year, he will
Speaker 4: be a second round pick come summertime.
Speaker 2: I like it spicy. I like that A lot is
Speaker 2: that you're going to take LQ.
Speaker 3: I was I was going to make that splash. I
Speaker 3: was going to make that splash.
Speaker 1: Well, now that, now that the splash has splashed, what
Speaker 1: do you want to do here with the last pick
Speaker 1: in a magic car?
Speaker 2: Baby? I didn't think we get a magic car preference splash.
Speaker 3: I think here, I'm cool with taking ash and gent.
Speaker 1: That's I was like, at some point, I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: so how far does he fall?
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, I'll take genty here.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I just was also considering the offense, the offensive line.
Speaker 1: I just I want he needs help. He needs help,
Speaker 1: a lot needs.
Speaker 2: A lot they made.
Speaker 3: They made some moves, but still it's not enough. But
Speaker 3: take them for the fact that we saw flashes of
Speaker 3: him in the Passion game and hopefully can clink k
Speaker 3: back as a playing for it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, at this point, I feel a little more comfortable
Speaker 1: with it. You know, I've seen I've seen some ADPs
Speaker 1: of him, like late first round. I'm like, I can't.
Speaker 1: I am out man absolutely in the first Roundna, man,
Speaker 1: I can't do that.
Speaker 3: But I'm up. I'm up again.
Speaker 1: Right Well, we'll take a break, we'll come back and
Speaker 1: we'll do round three. But yeah, so yeah, you got you're.
Speaker 2: On the clock.
Speaker 1: You got some minutes to think about it. We'll could
Speaker 1: be back right here for a thout three r mock
Speaker 1: draft on the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. We are finishing
Speaker 1: up a three round mock dre now that the free
Speaker 1: agency has mostly done its thing. Obviously there's still some
Speaker 1: names that are hanging around there, but for now we.
Speaker 2: Got the big answer. So just a quick recap.
Speaker 1: First round goes Jamier Gibbs, Bajon Robinson, Pooka Nakua, Jamar
Speaker 1: Chase Jackson Smith and Jig but I'm on Ross Saint
Speaker 1: Brown at six, Justin Jefferson seven, followed by CD Lamb,
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, Chris o'lave at ten, Jonathan Taylor, James Cook
Speaker 1: round out the first round. Round two begins with von
Speaker 1: Ah Chen, followed by my league neighbors Trey McBride Marion
Speaker 1: Hampton at the two dot four, followed by Drake London,
Speaker 1: and you get Saquon Barkley, brock Bauers, Aj Brown at eight,
Speaker 1: George Pickens at nine, Nico Collins at ten, the only
Speaker 1: rookie we've had so far, Jeremiah Love goes to eleven,
Speaker 1: Ashton gent two dot twelve. So, lakwan, you are back
Speaker 1: on the clock to start round three.
Speaker 2: What would you like to do?
Speaker 3: I'm going to snag another tight end here, Coleston Lovelin.
Speaker 1: Guys are coming around and like Colston Loveland at tight end.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's starting to grow on me. Man. It happened
Speaker 2: to DJ Moore Trade.
Speaker 3: It's kind of like, oh yeah, the door is wide
Speaker 3: open for him to cook. Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 1: I like Colston Loveland at three as the tight end three,
Speaker 1: and I think their rounds not a bad spot for him.
Speaker 1: So all right, so three tight ends off the board.
Speaker 1: I will tell you I'll be shocked if we get
Speaker 1: a fourth. But who knows, Trader things have happened for you.
Speaker 1: What do you want to do at three to two?
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with someone that I think is a
Speaker 4: little underrated. Give me Chase Brown. Like I know the
Speaker 4: first six, seven, weeks were brutal, but as someone who
Speaker 4: was highly invested in Chase Brown last year, from that
Speaker 4: point on he was a top five running back pretty
Speaker 4: much each week with Joe Burrow out there getting a
Speaker 4: lot of passes going his way. They used him near
Speaker 4: the goal line and they really nothing has changed, so
Speaker 4: I I.
Speaker 2: Except for their defense got probably worse. So I feel
Speaker 2: about Chase Brown. Okay, so at the three three solid.
Speaker 1: This is probably not a thing I would do in
Speaker 1: real life, but under the circumstances, and you know, with
Speaker 1: this thought exercise.
Speaker 2: We're doing, I'll take Josh Allen here.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: You know, you feel like in actual drafts, this is
Speaker 1: probably about when you're gonna start seeing quarterbacks come off
Speaker 1: the board, except for these, you know, these expert league
Speaker 1: draft where we're all playing chicken and like change, who's
Speaker 1: good for the first one to draw up a quarterback,
Speaker 1: which I would sometimes it gets a little bit ridiculous
Speaker 1: with everybody like trying to hold off on qbs sometimes.
Speaker 2: So like meanwhile, back in.
Speaker 1: The real world, when you do your sort of just
Speaker 1: regular home league drafts, there might be five quarterbacks gone
Speaker 1: by now.
Speaker 2: So I'll say Josh.
Speaker 1: Allen at the at the three three, So Florida, it's
Speaker 1: back to you.
Speaker 2: I will go I I for some reason THOUGHTLQ was
Speaker 2: going to be picking all right, Oh you're right. No,
Speaker 2: you're right. I'm sorry. That is my bad. It is yeah,
Speaker 2: you're right, it's back.
Speaker 3: To the c Okay, yeah, my my fault, my fault.
Speaker 3: I'm going to take ken Walker off the board because
Speaker 3: I would figure he will go earlier, and I think
Speaker 3: once we get towards summertime, we get the report to
Speaker 3: Mahomes if he's going to be ready for week one
Speaker 3: or not, that will probably decide, you know, the price
Speaker 3: range for ken Walker.
Speaker 1: All right, death Walker off the board. Okay, so now
Speaker 1: it's your Florida three to five.
Speaker 4: This might looking at some early rankings, this might feel
Speaker 4: like a little bit of a reach, but you guys
Speaker 4: know this is my guy. I am flag planting year.
Speaker 4: Give me Lad McConkie, huge leader and his talent. I
Speaker 4: think Keenan Allen being gone is huge. I think Mike
Speaker 4: McDaniel being there is huge. The Chargers having their own
Speaker 4: lineback is going to be really big because it's going
Speaker 4: to mean more time for Justin Herbert to throw.
Speaker 2: I think this is the season that I was hoping to.
Speaker 4: Get last year out of Lad McConkie. I think he
Speaker 4: breaks out in a big, big way.
Speaker 3: I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I think I think this is the Aladd McConkie glow
Speaker 1: up year for sure. And lacuwon' not drafting him as
Speaker 1: a wide receiver one, so it should be I feel
Speaker 1: like it should be more palatable to you, right because
Speaker 1: now we're not drafting him as a wide receiver one.
Speaker 3: Yes, it makes a little bit more sense. He's probably
Speaker 3: wide receiver inflated to new heights that he shouldn't have been.
Speaker 1: But I digress all surprised he fell this far. I
Speaker 1: don't know if he falls this far in real drafts.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna take Josh Jacobs here. At this point,
Speaker 1: I thought you were.
Speaker 3: Going to say another name. Oh no, me too, actually,
Speaker 3: oh oh oh.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I just want to leave him out
Speaker 1: there for La Kwan since La Kwan's if we're thinking
Speaker 1: of the same person. I know lq' is his biggest fan,
Speaker 1: so I should leave him out here for him. But
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, like, I get it. You know, they probably
Speaker 1: relied on him a little bit too much down to stretch,
Speaker 1: but The one thing that dude has always done in
Speaker 1: his career is score touchdowns, and I don't think that
Speaker 1: changes this year. He's still gonna get he's still gonna
Speaker 1: get carries. They're starting to target him more question mark,
Speaker 1: but he just finds the end zone all the time,
Speaker 1: and that is invaluable. So I'll take him here, all right? So, Lakan,
Speaker 1: who are you taking at the three?
Speaker 2: Seven?
Speaker 3: Derrick Henry?
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys thought I was going to take Kiren,
Speaker 2: but I had there No, I didn't either.
Speaker 6: Actually, oh, wait, hold on, who are you talking about? Florida?
Speaker 6: Let's wait, yeah, go ahead, Florida. I said that, Derrick Henry,
Speaker 6: but going who were you thinking?
Speaker 2: All right, well, then who are you taking at eight?
Speaker 2: I guess then Florida? What's the question?
Speaker 4: It's who I thought you were going to take Marcus,
Speaker 4: especially when you said he still needs some help, and
Speaker 4: then you were like, well maybe a different kind of help,
Speaker 4: uh Rashi Rice.
Speaker 2: Because that boy needs not on the football field, you know,
Speaker 2: Like I.
Speaker 4: If we knew we were getting a full year out
Speaker 4: of Rachi Rice, because it's always a question mark with
Speaker 4: off the field stuff. I do think he earlier than this,
Speaker 4: Like I wouldn't be surprised if he's a late second,
Speaker 4: early third round pick. But there's just like come August,
Speaker 4: right but right now there's still a lot up in
Speaker 4: the air with him and the Chiefs. But we know
Speaker 4: when he's out there, he's he's gonna give you a
Speaker 4: receiver one numbers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I am curious what And I haven't done a
Speaker 1: ton of mock drafts yet, but what the feeling is
Speaker 1: on him?
Speaker 2: Just because there's so much why is the feeling we come.
Speaker 1: Into every off season we're like, I don't know what's
Speaker 1: happening with Rashie Rice, Like this is because yeah it is,
Speaker 1: and you're absolutely right, And I don't like this feeling
Speaker 1: at all. So all right, back to me at three nine,
Speaker 1: and I think this is where a couple of ways
Speaker 1: I'm really interested in going. But I think I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go Bucky Irving at this point and take him off
Speaker 1: the board. I get it, Like, you know, he's gonna
Speaker 1: have competition in that backfield. It's not his and his alone,
Speaker 1: but I think he's he is, without a doubt, the guy.
Speaker 1: He's gonna get the first crack and everything there, and
Speaker 1: you know, you know you can catch the football.
Speaker 2: You know he's gonna get opportunities.
Speaker 1: And at this point in the draft, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: I think he's less of a risk than he would
Speaker 1: have been earlier.
Speaker 2: So I'm fine taking him at three nine. I know
Speaker 2: the price isn't terrible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I know you're sort of down on him, LQ,
Speaker 1: but I like it here.
Speaker 3: I would say I'm just slightly down, Like I feel like, well,
Speaker 3: Bucky Irvin last year, like we were pushing him way
Speaker 3: too high, so many red flags, and then I honestly
Speaker 3: think having Gainwell there this year, there's going to be
Speaker 3: some type of workload that's going to be split, right,
Speaker 3: Like they didn't go out and get Gainwell after seeing
Speaker 3: what he did last year in a split backfield, Like
Speaker 3: I think Gamelo is going to play a significant role.
Speaker 2: But we get back to that Bucky.
Speaker 3: Irvin who was used efficiently under fifty percent into snaps, right, Like,
Speaker 3: we get that type of version. So I think there
Speaker 3: might be some weeks where Bucky's the RB one and
Speaker 3: then there's going to be some weeks where like, all right,
Speaker 3: this was like kind of like RB twoish low end,
Speaker 3: like RB twoish week where it's like it was okay,
Speaker 3: but I think Bucky here is not a terrible price
Speaker 3: versus what it was last year.
Speaker 2: All right, I mean you, I don't think he's gonna
Speaker 2: the only game. I was going to be sort of.
Speaker 1: Play the word shot white role, kind of be a
Speaker 1: secondary honest.
Speaker 3: But and the thing is that's not even terrible. That
Speaker 3: makes both of them fantasy relevant again. Like we've seen
Speaker 3: this backfield work with two of them being top twenty
Speaker 3: four running backs. You know, obviously that was under Lee
Speaker 3: and Coleman's you know, watch, But at the end of
Speaker 3: the day, I think it could work with both of
Speaker 3: them being fantasy valuable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's see. So that's back to you, Lakwan.
Speaker 1: At the at three.
Speaker 3: Ten here, I'm I'm like in between two positions, honestly,
Speaker 3: because if I waited this far and then I'm staring
Speaker 3: at Lamar Jackson, I think I take Lamar Jackson here.
Speaker 2: I don't hate it, don't hear.
Speaker 3: The other position I was in between was wide receiver.
Speaker 3: But I think he goes before we exit this round.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so too. I'd be shocked if if
Speaker 1: Lamar makes it out of the third round.
Speaker 2: In most drafts. All right, Florio three eleven? What you got?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 2: So can I say two names? Can I name that
Speaker 2: I would actually take and the name that I want
Speaker 2: to take? Okay, sure, I think the name that LQ
Speaker 2: was referencing was T Higgins.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna guess T yeah, and go ahead, and maybe
Speaker 4: another T first named wide receiver. So I will take
Speaker 4: T Higgins. But who if if l Q took T Higgins,
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, like, it should be Lamar, but
Speaker 4: give me Luthor Burden. I am so excited for Luthor
Speaker 4: Burden that this is the range I would start considering
Speaker 4: him in.
Speaker 2: I can't in good faith push him ahead of T. Higgins.
Speaker 4: But I think all of the other wide receivers that
Speaker 4: are on the board, except for maybe that other one,
Speaker 4: I'll just say his name because there's only Marcus still
Speaker 4: to pick McMillan. Those are the only two receivers that
Speaker 4: were available that I was like, I don't know if
Speaker 4: I could push Luther Burden ahead of those two guys,
Speaker 4: but after them, like the names are like Garrett Wilson,
Speaker 4: DeVonta Smith, Jalen Waddle, DeVante Adams, I could push for
Speaker 4: me personally, I could push Luther Burden ahead of all those.
Speaker 2: Guys, all right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I when I took Bucky Irving at nine,
Speaker 1: t Higgins was the other name that I was really
Speaker 1: considering in that spot, but I felt like Bucky was
Speaker 1: slightly a better pick. So final pick in our three
Speaker 1: round Mick draft, I'm gonna say, Kyrien Williams here ooh nice,
Speaker 1: little surprised he fell quite this far. It felt like,
Speaker 1: you know which tends to happen in drafts, right, you
Speaker 1: start scrolling, You're like I want this guy and this guy,
Speaker 1: and like somebody just falls, and I feel like Kyrin
Speaker 1: Williams has kind of fallen to that point.
Speaker 2: I mean, the guy wo.
Speaker 1: Last three years, double digit touchdowns in each of the
Speaker 1: last three years.
Speaker 2: And if you really believe that they're.
Speaker 1: Not going to use DeVante Adams the same way at
Speaker 1: the goal line as they did this past year, somebody's
Speaker 1: gonna take those short yardage opportunities. Well, I can't it
Speaker 1: be Kyron So yeah, I'll think Karen Williams here at
Speaker 1: that spot.
Speaker 3: So I have a theory though, like, like this is
Speaker 3: a feeling today, Okay, I think we get a little
Speaker 3: bit more Blake korm this upcoming season, Like, I think
Speaker 3: we just get up that bit more because the opportunities
Speaker 3: he had last year, that boy was golden. Like, I
Speaker 3: honestly think we're going to lean more into this one
Speaker 3: two punch and definitely think Korm can get some opportunities
Speaker 3: on the goal line as well. So I think they're
Speaker 3: gonna be a great dynamic duo. But here where Kien
Speaker 3: fell for you is a blessing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I mean, look, if Kyen's there at the
Speaker 1: end of round three, I'll do that all day and
Speaker 1: you might be right, you might be right. I mean
Speaker 1: we could see more. I mean I wouldn't be totally
Speaker 1: surprised if we saw more Blake Koram this year. I
Speaker 1: don't think that's a major shock.
Speaker 4: But early rankings has Kien Williams as the RB seventeen
Speaker 4: in this range.
Speaker 2: So I think a lot of people agree with you, LQ.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people.
Speaker 4: Are worried about Blake Korum's presence, which you guys know me,
Speaker 4: I'll keep taking Kyen at a discount, but in round
Speaker 4: two I'd have those same concerns. But getting him at
Speaker 4: the last pick of round three, it's easy for me
Speaker 4: to get.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's still a guy who's gonna get a
Speaker 1: lot of opportunities and an offense that's going to score
Speaker 1: a lot of points, you know, So I'll take that
Speaker 1: all day long.
Speaker 3: So I don't mentioned, though, do we think that a
Speaker 3: Mecho Buca or Haleck Pearce creep into this last back
Speaker 3: into the third round?
Speaker 1: I mean probably, I mean I wouldn't be surprised. I'm
Speaker 1: just trying to think of who I would bump for
Speaker 1: Pierce or a Buka, you know.
Speaker 2: I mean, does that mean Kyra Williams gets bumped down
Speaker 2: to round four? Which is terrible? I mean I think
Speaker 2: I don't think. I think like I think Lakwan.
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna be way higher on Chrystal Lobby
Speaker 1: than everybody else's. Yeah, I just I don't. I just
Speaker 1: don't think the consensus on a Lobby is going to
Speaker 1: be quite that high so that that shuffles.
Speaker 3: But if he survives the draft, why not, you.
Speaker 2: Know, I don't know how high.
Speaker 1: You know, how many Sikos are taking Jeremiah Love at
Speaker 1: the end of round two.
Speaker 2: That's gonna be you know what that's gonna be. That's
Speaker 2: gonna be.
Speaker 1: A spring early summer thing right, that's gonna be folks
Speaker 1: like us who draft way too much and are always
Speaker 1: trying to plant the fly.
Speaker 2: You were trying to get ahead of somebody else.
Speaker 1: I think when you get more casual folks playing in
Speaker 1: the summer, they're not gonna know who Jeremiah Love is.
Speaker 2: I mean, Halton and Henderson were second round picks. List. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's true.
Speaker 3: I mean the price isn't terrible, like it could be worse.
Speaker 3: It could be where Gendie's fling at the one o
Speaker 3: six one oh seven areas.
Speaker 4: So I actually think he becomes a first round pick
Speaker 4: if he falls to the right spot. What if it's
Speaker 4: the Giants that's might hold him back because of scat scataboo.
Speaker 4: The Titans are one I've heard, and I'm like, that
Speaker 4: could push him up. I think he probably settles for
Speaker 4: his second round pick, But the way people are talking
Speaker 4: about him, like, it wouldn't surprise me if he catches
Speaker 4: helium like Jens did last year.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm sure.
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm like trying to scroll through my brain
Speaker 1: and try to figure out where you could go that
Speaker 1: would be a good spot for him.
Speaker 3: Where you took it's probably where he'll go, but you're.
Speaker 1: Talking NFL man, NFL wise, Yeah, like where he could
Speaker 1: get drafted in the NFL that would really inflate his price.
Speaker 1: I mean Tennessee is certainly one. I mean Arizona potentially.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know you'd have to wait.
Speaker 3: Two running backs restructured one and then you got Trey
Speaker 3: Benson there they draft Aremia Love?
Speaker 2: What are you guys doing? They say, all of you
Speaker 2: guys are now Yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to I don't know. Tennessee is probably
Speaker 1: the most obvious.
Speaker 3: Washington signing so many running backs makes me think, but
Speaker 3: that makes me think that they don't think he's gonna
Speaker 3: make it to seven. You see what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 3: Cleveland has junkins, the Giants have scat, but scat ain't that.
Speaker 3: So I think Love goes to the Giants top five pick.
Speaker 1: Oh man, if you're the Giants, are you are you
Speaker 1: doing that?
Speaker 2: The Commanders would be the dream fit actually thinking about it.
Speaker 1: For me, at least, you're gonna catch hell from your
Speaker 1: fans for drafting a running back at five.
Speaker 3: The thing is, if Love falls to seven and Washington
Speaker 3: doesn't pick them, like, what are we doing? Because Wow, Bill.
Speaker 2: And White you become RB two's.
Speaker 3: And room Ford don't forget that.
Speaker 2: Okay, sure, RB three season, let's go.
Speaker 1: No, I'm kidding, all right, Well we wait, We wait
Speaker 1: to see what's gonna about.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's say he falls out the top ten. Let's
Speaker 4: throw him on Dallas and see what happens.
Speaker 3: No, no, I would hate that. I got a lot
Speaker 3: of Javonte Williams.
Speaker 1: We are protect protecting our hide here with with Jeremiah
Speaker 1: Love for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be.
Speaker 1: Interesting to see where you go because that's gonna definitely
Speaker 1: impact his draft price. I'm curious to see what the
Speaker 1: Sikos like us who are drafting now are are doing here.
Speaker 2: So we'll find out in short order for sure.
Speaker 1: But back with you on Thursday. Have an interesting chat
Speaker 1: coming up on Thursday. We talk to James Reaver, who
Speaker 1: does some next gen stats stuff for us here at
Speaker 1: the NFL. Wrote an interesting article a while back about
Speaker 1: tight ends and chip blocking and sort of how it
Speaker 1: impacts offenses. So we're gonna have him on chat a
Speaker 1: little bit about this and you know, maybe kind of
Speaker 1: come up with some theories on what it applies or
Speaker 1: how it applies to fantasy football. So be sure to
Speaker 1: tune in for that one on Thursday, but at the meantime,
Speaker 1: that'll do it for this edition of the NFL Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football Podcast. They happy, safe and healthy, do good and
