Speaker 1: Ladies and gents, this is there. You're right, and I
Speaker 1: strongly believe is we have spent weeks and weeks and
Speaker 1: weeks prepping for our snakes drafts, going over who we
Speaker 1: have in the first round, the second round, uh so
Speaker 1: on and so forth, and yet that is by far
Speaker 1: the least fair way to have any sort of fantasy draft.
Speaker 1: It shocks me that, in with all the advanced statistics
Speaker 1: and metrics and everything that you could get subscribing to
Speaker 1: any site, not just ours, that we still is as
Speaker 1: a majority of fantasy players playing fantasy football snake drafts.
Speaker 1: E Y doesn't make sense to me. I feel like
Speaker 1: snake drafts is just that's it's just how it's done.
Speaker 1: It's it's how the NFL does their draft. I mean
Speaker 1: they're drafting only rookies and players coming from college. But
Speaker 1: it's how they do it. I mean it's the big
Speaker 1: thing for me is it's time consuming. And the reality
Speaker 1: is is look me and you and Frank and everyone
Speaker 1: that works there were all complete lunatics when it comes
Speaker 1: to fantasy sports. But some people, like my wife, they
Speaker 1: want to do one draft and they wanted to take
Speaker 1: an hour. It's not possible. My other big grape denist auctions,
Speaker 1: I do like them. I just haven't done a lot
Speaker 1: of them. But my big gripe is there's too much math,
Speaker 1: and I was promised there would be no math. So
Speaker 1: I think it depends, obviously if you do a live
Speaker 1: auction versus an online auction. So for me, I've done both.
Speaker 1: And I think even if you're doing an online auction
Speaker 1: and you're sitting there with the eleven other guys or
Speaker 1: girls that are in your draft, and you have your
Speaker 1: computer and you're all in ESPN or YAH who or
Speaker 1: CBS whatever, at least you're all around. And then like
Speaker 1: when you're going one on one with somebody and bidding
Speaker 1: up each other and you're trying to see who's gonna
Speaker 1: being first. I think there's something to that. Brian, Why
Speaker 1: are you so pro auction drafts versus the standards snake format. Well,
Speaker 1: I think you can really strategized going in. Um, you
Speaker 1: could get the exact team you want. The only player
Speaker 1: who I didn't get the player one of the most
Speaker 1: was McCaffrey, but it just didn't make sense for how
Speaker 1: much he went for. There's been years in the past
Speaker 1: that I've been able to get the players I want
Speaker 1: from top to autumn, and uh, with a snake draft,
Speaker 1: if i want someone like DK Metcalf, now I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have to uh maybe get him in the seventh round
Speaker 1: when he would be an eleventh rounder just because I
Speaker 1: want him and I know somebody else will where instead
Speaker 1: I can get him for three bucks out of my
Speaker 1: two hundred. To me, it's it's just a it's a
Speaker 1: more beautiful strategy. Uh, there's a lot more of a
Speaker 1: strategy to it. You're not, let's say, forced to take
Speaker 1: somebody you wouldn't want to just because it's foolish not to. Uh,
Speaker 1: You're involved in every single pick of the draft. It's
Speaker 1: just way funder and I think people that don't do it,
Speaker 1: it's just the Green Eggs and Ham sort of thing.
Speaker 1: They don't want to try it. They think it sounds stupid.
Speaker 1: They're used to doing the way they've always done it,
Speaker 1: and it's the way they do it on TV. Be it. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, Matt Barry and the fantasy guys are on uh,
Speaker 1: you know, Fancy Football today. They all go with the
Speaker 1: snake draft, and I think it's you can do one
Speaker 1: auction draft. You're hooked. That's my vio. So I totally,
Speaker 1: I totally, totally agree. You're involved in every pick and
Speaker 1: you were in charge. When you ultimately f up, it's
Speaker 1: because of you. And I've been on records sitting here
Speaker 1: last year in the same auction that I have this weekend,
Speaker 1: I fed up where I went and got a wide receiver.
Speaker 1: I was trying to price and force. We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about all of this over the next hour or so,
Speaker 1: and I got caught and then I got stuck drafting
Speaker 1: another running back. And I have two hundred dollars that's
Speaker 1: been a hundred and fifty on it on Odell Beckham,
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, and Jordan Howard. That was not a winning
Speaker 1: situation last year, obviously, but I couldn't blame, Like all
Speaker 1: the guys I wanted were gone, I let them go.
Speaker 1: I screwed up. And now this year I have worked
Speaker 1: really hard to come up with a plan, try to
Speaker 1: budget as best as I can, and go into the
Speaker 1: draft knowing I'm gonna stick too. Said idea, said plan.
Speaker 1: When you're in a snake draft, you don't have that control,
Speaker 1: and I think as fantasy owners, we are constantly trying
Speaker 1: to find that control. We are trying to be as
Speaker 1: safe as possible, because that's how you're gonna win. Be
Speaker 1: safe early, take risks late, and mold it together. You're
Speaker 1: going to have a winning team. I believe you have
Speaker 1: the best opportunity to do that in an auction draft,
Speaker 1: wherein snake you lose some of that power, you lose
Speaker 1: some of that control. That's what we're trying to change.
Speaker 1: Um in fantasy sports e I ultimately fantasy football and
Speaker 1: really all fantasy sports. There's a lot of look involved.
Speaker 1: But I think in an auction draft you're kind of
Speaker 1: limiting the amount of luck that goes into it because
Speaker 1: you have the power. The percentage of luck, I think
Speaker 1: it doesn't change. But but what I think is the
Speaker 1: coolest part of any auction draft is for me. You know.
Speaker 1: We we've been saying on the show is make make
Speaker 1: an a DP list, Make make an average draft position
Speaker 1: list of your own that you can follow in your drafts.
Speaker 1: And the reality is is you can have any player
Speaker 1: if you're willing to spend, you can have any player.
Speaker 1: So that's exciting to me. Like the guys that I'm
Speaker 1: higher on, I know for sure, you know I'm going
Speaker 1: to get that guy. I mean, he's being said that
Speaker 1: he's worth ten to twelve dollars, but I can put
Speaker 1: fourteen or fifteen because I believe he's gonna outdo that.
Speaker 1: So I can get that guy. I can have all
Speaker 1: of my guys and the guys that I believe in,
Speaker 1: because don't there's a massive strategy for how much money
Speaker 1: you spend. And like you said, last year, you got caught.
Speaker 1: So auction is is crazy and there's not one to like.
Speaker 1: So it's a it's that's that's the craziest part. There's
Speaker 1: not one to like. You can mock, you can destball
Speaker 1: all you want. Every auction is different. We're gonna explain
Speaker 1: why and how to rank your players for an auction.

Speaker 1: There we go back with you here today all the
Speaker 1: best joined my Eric Young and Brian Kedrick help me
Speaker 1: break down auction draft strategy and Eric, what's gonna be
Speaker 1: a little bit different for you when it comes to
Speaker 1: the auction is the way you have your rank set.
Speaker 1: You have them as all right, so and so is
Speaker 1: player thirty five? So and so is player Well that works,
Speaker 1: but not especially well for me. When I'm doing an auction.
Speaker 1: This is truly when the tears are more important than ever, Brian,
Speaker 1: when you're ranking your guys, do you use tears for auctions?
Speaker 1: What I'll use is a cap So McCaffrey seventy and
Speaker 1: once he started going to seventy eight, I was out. Um,
Speaker 1: So i just put a dollar value to every guy,
Speaker 1: and I'll try not to go higher than that unless
Speaker 1: I've got the extra money to spend because I paid
Speaker 1: less for somebody else, right, And of course, But for me,
Speaker 1: when I'm trying to plan for the auction, I have
Speaker 1: all my guys. I'm gonna turn my computer around here,
Speaker 1: so I have all my guys in color coded tears
Speaker 1: so I can understand, so I can understand best. Um
Speaker 1: where that's here kind of ends. And that's what I
Speaker 1: found to be the most helpful. So this top what
Speaker 1: is his running backs by receivers? Right, So this is
Speaker 1: the running backs, right, So in an auction, this top
Speaker 1: tier here, if you're watching on video, this top tier
Speaker 1: here are the four running backs. Obviously Barkley McCaffrey, Ezekiel Elliott,
Speaker 1: who's still in there for now, and Alvin Kamara. Typically,
Speaker 1: I have found in an auction that the first player
Speaker 1: in a tier is usually going to be the cheapest
Speaker 1: because everyone kind of has the same idea. Like all
Speaker 1: three of us know that the top four picks in
Speaker 1: a standard Snake draft are these four guys right here.
Speaker 1: But when all three of them are gone, the odds
Speaker 1: are that everybody in that room where everybody is in
Speaker 1: your draft knows the same exact thing that you do,
Speaker 1: that the fourth one is the last one left, and
Speaker 1: he's going to go for the most money. So I
Speaker 1: have found that in an auction, you better getting before
Speaker 1: that tier ends because you're not smarter than everybody else
Speaker 1: in that room, and e y quickly it's going to
Speaker 1: dry off, and all of a sudden you wind up
Speaker 1: paying way more for the last player. And that's here.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's McCaffrey at seventy eight dollars. Then let's say
Speaker 1: Sikon Barkley went when he was nominated a while back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's tons of strategy to it. Is like you're saying,
Speaker 1: is is with the tier based drafting if you want,
Speaker 1: I mean you want one of those guys, you can
Speaker 1: have any one of them you want. But like you said,
Speaker 1: like say, and there's no rhyme or reason to win guys,
Speaker 1: Uh nominate players. Um. There's always huge discussions every year
Speaker 1: on a strategy to that. Do you nominate guys that
Speaker 1: you want? Do you wait for someone else to nominate
Speaker 1: him and then go after him? Do you you were
Speaker 1: talking yesterday about nominating a bunch of your one dollar
Speaker 1: guys first. I mean, nobody knows how this works because
Speaker 1: every single draft is different and you're drafting with different people,
Speaker 1: different leagues, different settings. But like the best thing about
Speaker 1: these auction drafts are no matter what, you can get
Speaker 1: your guys. And what I'm saying, uh like a DP,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying, UM, organize it in the number and
Speaker 1: like you know, the first guy is a hundred dollars
Speaker 1: and the second guys dollars. I'm just saying, have a
Speaker 1: list of guys that you like, UM, that you think
Speaker 1: could outdo their position and and a and a kind
Speaker 1: of like Brian was saying with the money, that's what
Speaker 1: the big reason I don't like them is it it's
Speaker 1: that's so hard to organize and I don't know who's
Speaker 1: gonna like what player. So this is uh, it's definitely
Speaker 1: there's a lot more preparation in my opinion, to a
Speaker 1: snake draft, but the tier system seems to be what
Speaker 1: the best way to do that? So you wrote up
Speaker 1: something I really wanted to get into Eric today, and
Speaker 1: that is nominations, Brian. When you're nominating players, what's your
Speaker 1: what's your plan? Is there a Rhymeman reason? So typically
Speaker 1: in the past I would nominate guys that like Ezekiel Elliott,
Speaker 1: who I have no interest in UM and let people
Speaker 1: bleed their money drive. So for the first time this
Speaker 1: year and did the draft on Sunday, I nominated guys
Speaker 1: who have wanted UM. I think it works both ways. Uh,
Speaker 1: but I agree. You know you've got that fourth guy,
Speaker 1: you're gonna spend ten more dollars than then maybe that
Speaker 1: guy you wanted a little bit more if you didn't
Speaker 1: get in early. There's a whole lot to it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I entirely agree. So since we talked yesterday or
Speaker 1: two days or whatever about the nominations, I did a
Speaker 1: lot of research on it just to understand that if
Speaker 1: I was being idiot nominating those dollary guys early and
Speaker 1: from what I found, the best strategy is that everybody.
Speaker 1: Chiman of course is the obvious one, and Brian, you
Speaker 1: were right, like typically you nominate players you don't want.
Speaker 1: You want money off the board. It makes sense if
Speaker 1: you have no interest in Ezekiel Elliott, somebody's going to
Speaker 1: pay you know, a ton of money for this guy
Speaker 1: you don't want, and then you could eliminate them. You're
Speaker 1: knocking guys off the board one by one. I think
Speaker 1: that even though it is the most basic strategy and auction,
Speaker 1: it makes sense because you're trying to get money off
Speaker 1: the board to put you in a bully position, to
Speaker 1: put you in a power spot where you have money
Speaker 1: and everybody doesn't. But it's going to get to the
Speaker 1: point where I think you have to mix it up
Speaker 1: because if everybody knew as you're just nominating people that
Speaker 1: you don't want, well, when you do bid on somebody,
Speaker 1: they're gonna know you want them and they're gonna wind
Speaker 1: up beating you up. I think you have to mix
Speaker 1: it up. And as you get towards the middle of
Speaker 1: your drafts Uy, I think that's probably where you start
Speaker 1: nominating some guys you want and hopefully the prices are
Speaker 1: what you want. Yeah, and it's it all depends on
Speaker 1: on league mates, you mean, like knowing them and knowing
Speaker 1: knowing who they're high on. Like I had mentioned the
Speaker 1: show before, I live in Nashville and we do a
Speaker 1: home league. It's been fourteen years running, and it's a
Speaker 1: bunch of guys that live here and there's a there's
Speaker 1: you know, five or ten Titans fans. So Titans go
Speaker 1: higher than everyone else then in any other league. Like
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, it wouldn't surprise me if he's picked in
Speaker 1: the first round this year, won't surprise me at all.
Speaker 1: Corey Davis in the third or fourth round. That's it's
Speaker 1: just that crazy. So I know in that league, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna have a lot of Titans, even though I
Speaker 1: I do. I do go after them because I want
Speaker 1: to cheer for my guys. But nominating players, I think
Speaker 1: it can do it. It's two ways. Like one, you
Speaker 1: can nominate a guy and like for me, the base
Speaker 1: strategy is you're trying to get people to spend money
Speaker 1: on players that you don't really want. But at a
Speaker 1: certain point, like for me, like that would be Andrew
Speaker 1: Luck I'm not interested in owning him, especially right now.
Speaker 1: I mean that could change over time, but right now
Speaker 1: I don't want him on my team because I don't
Speaker 1: know if he's gonna play, and if he does play,
Speaker 1: how effective is he gonna be? So if I nominate him,
Speaker 1: but if it doesn't go up and I can get
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck for I mean, and he does play, that's
Speaker 1: a massive steel. So you, I mean, you need to
Speaker 1: pay attention to every single pick. You can't. You can't
Speaker 1: write them off because they're savings there sometimes, and that's
Speaker 1: that's an even stronger point. Like Andrew Luck. I know
Speaker 1: in draft, ui you are just you're not even touching him,
Speaker 1: You're not worry about it, you're just moving on. But
Speaker 1: in auction the price may be right where you're like,
Speaker 1: all right, I will even you. Brian, who does not
Speaker 1: want ze Hugh Elliott, I'm sure there's a number that
Speaker 1: you would pay for him. Well sure, I mean I
Speaker 1: paid fifty four for Girly and I was nervous going in,
Speaker 1: but as you said, once guy started going, I'm desperate.
Speaker 1: And so if I could get Ezekiel Elliott forty bucks,
Speaker 1: how do I resist? You do you have because you
Speaker 1: you drafted this pass on day So do you have
Speaker 1: how much Ezekiel Elliott went for in your auction? Um?
Speaker 1: I think he went for fifty eight dollars out of
Speaker 1: the standard two. Right. How much did the other guys
Speaker 1: go for? In his tears, McCaffrey said, you said seventy eight? Um,
Speaker 1: how much do you Barkley and Camara go for? I
Speaker 1: think they both went north of seventy dollars? So then
Speaker 1: Iszekiel Elliott just in year league? Every least different when
Speaker 1: he hit into this after the break, But Zekiel Elliott
Speaker 1: went for a uh start discount compared to those three. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Levian bell is really Uh what's scared everybody like Styear
Speaker 1: with with his holdout being sincere um? So yeah, people
Speaker 1: are afraid of him. They're afreid of Gordon and I
Speaker 1: am too, Yeah, so am I How much how much
Speaker 1: the Melvin Gordon go for? Oh jeez about something like that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so they are. It's very clear you gotta in his league.
Speaker 1: And again, I'm gonna get into this in a few moments,
Speaker 1: but in Brian's league, is Zegel Elliott goes for Forget
Speaker 1: the numbers for a seconds, It doesn't matter, it's irrelevant.
Speaker 1: He goes for twenty dollars less than all of the
Speaker 1: other guys in his tier. Fine, that is a massive,
Speaker 1: massive discount. Melvin Gordon, say what you will, but when
Speaker 1: we started this draft process a few months back, he
Speaker 1: was in that David Johnson lady on bell Ish tier.
Speaker 1: He went for almost half of what those guys went
Speaker 1: for in Brian's draft, A stark, stark discount. There. You're
Speaker 1: gonna have to do with what you're comfortable with, euy
Speaker 1: in an auction? Would there be a number for you?
Speaker 1: I know you what you how you feel about is
Speaker 1: Zekility is still in your top four? Your number one
Speaker 1: player for now? Is there a number with Melvin Gord?
Speaker 1: We talked about rounds that you would't feel comfortable paying
Speaker 1: for Melvin. There's a number for all these guys that.
Speaker 1: The truth is is because of the Levy on Bell situation,
Speaker 1: everyone is drafting scared. He's the only big money player.
Speaker 1: He's the only guy that has ever done that ever
Speaker 1: in the history of the NFL. He sat out an
Speaker 1: entire season, made zero dollars, So that's scary. Everyone thinks
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones will pay up. The Spanos is do the
Speaker 1: same in Los Angeles. You know lit Daily Rodo dot

Speaker 1: if they go over that price, you do your best
Speaker 1: to stick to your budget. How do you know how
Speaker 1: to budget your players when you're coming up with these numbers? Well,
Speaker 1: I guess you know you have your top guys and
Speaker 1: how much you're willing to pay? Uh so for me,
Speaker 1: you know, Davante Adams, That's that's who I wanted the most. Um.
Speaker 1: But if I'm doing a snake draft, I think it's
Speaker 1: silly to take them first, because how do you not
Speaker 1: take the running back? Anyways, I'll just start working backwards,
Speaker 1: see how much money I have, and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: realizing that a lot of the guys I want I
Speaker 1: can get for five dollars or less. I just need
Speaker 1: those three or four guys. Who are some of those guys?
Speaker 1: And I'm just kind of jumping around, who are some
Speaker 1: of those guys that you really like this year that
Speaker 1: are in the five dollar price range? Well as stupid
Speaker 1: as this sounds, their line got him for four, Mayfield
Speaker 1: for three, I got Kiki for a buck, I got
Speaker 1: uh and Kill Harry for two, Kareem for one, and
Speaker 1: uh Penny for three. Okay, so it seems and that's
Speaker 1: a good strategy I want to get into as well
Speaker 1: in a little bit that Brian his entire bench is
Speaker 1: full of these death guys. The other thing they don't
Speaker 1: like his paying four dollars for a kicker ever, But
Speaker 1: that's that's on you, but like your quarterback at three,
Speaker 1: I love it. I don't care who the quarterback is.
Speaker 1: If you want Baker Mayfield and you get under five dollars,
Speaker 1: that's a great price. You want to take a shot
Speaker 1: on Nikila, Harry rushop Penny under five dollars, that's a
Speaker 1: great price to fill your bench out with one to
Speaker 1: four dollar players, forget the kicker for moment. I think
Speaker 1: that makes a lot of sentence, and I suggest everybody
Speaker 1: does that. Because the quarterback position is so massive, and
Speaker 1: it so has so many players in it, you should
Speaker 1: be able to get your quarterback for eight cheap price.
Speaker 1: And there's no reason to pay the twenty five dollars
Speaker 1: or whatnot it costs for Patrick Mahomes, or the twenty
Speaker 1: dollars is gonna cost you for Aaron Rodgers or something
Speaker 1: like that, when you could go out and get a
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield for under five dollars. But the reason that
Speaker 1: I asked you about how you know how to price
Speaker 1: these guys is because the best research that I have found,
Speaker 1: and e Y you alluded to this a little while ago,
Speaker 1: is knowing your league mates and knowing your league. Every
Speaker 1: one of us here and everybody watching and listening. Have
Speaker 1: been in home leagues for a decade at this point,
Speaker 1: or a really good amount of time. You know your
Speaker 1: league members. You why you know in Nashville that all
Speaker 1: these Titans are going to go for a way too
Speaker 1: much money. You know that when you know you're gonna
Speaker 1: leave with Brian Kendrick, Russell Wilson is probably gonna go
Speaker 1: for too much money. Ultimately, you want to know your league,
Speaker 1: and that's how you set up your tears, and that's
Speaker 1: how you set up your rankings. I'm in New York,
Speaker 1: Tacon Barkley. Forget this year, he's the number one player.
Speaker 1: Last year, I knew Seagoon Barkley was gonna go for
Speaker 1: too much. I'm the one that paid too much for
Speaker 1: o Doub Beckham last year. I know that this year
Speaker 1: Levy on Bell, being that I'm in a league with
Speaker 1: plenty of Jets fans, is going to go for too
Speaker 1: much money. So I have learned to set up my
Speaker 1: tears and set up my rankings based all my league.
Speaker 1: You y yeah, I mean, and you have to. I
Speaker 1: mean there's gonna be obviously chances where you can't like
Speaker 1: if you're in Best Ball and and other leagues like
Speaker 1: that work you're drifting with complete strangers. I mean, you
Speaker 1: can't do that, but leagues where you can prep. You
Speaker 1: need to make mental notes. Uh sometimes like I'll have
Speaker 1: a sheet of paper and I'll write down certain things.
Speaker 1: Make sure you get a top five tight end before
Speaker 1: this round. Just things like that to keep in mind.
Speaker 1: Like I know, like, um, I'm playing in the league
Speaker 1: with miss and he's a crazy Cleveland fan and and
Speaker 1: like so like Chubb, Backham, like those guys. He's gonna
Speaker 1: take those guys before or their value makes sense. And
Speaker 1: I think in an auction, if we did an auction,
Speaker 1: he would pay a bunch of money for me, Brian
Speaker 1: with Baker Mayfield for three dollars, that's a massive steal.
Speaker 1: He's going early the top five quarterback, he's the top
Speaker 1: five quarterbacks, so he's going super early. In the fact
Speaker 1: that he got him for three dollars is absolute insane
Speaker 1: and the value there is unbelievable. And I think he
Speaker 1: could end up being a top five quarterback. But offense
Speaker 1: is gonna be hard to stop as someone that's really
Speaker 1: good at this, Like wouldn't you want to play in
Speaker 1: an auction with them? Is then where you could then
Speaker 1: just put Nick shove up immediately and was watching blow
Speaker 1: of his budget on him or something stupid like that.
Speaker 1: Of course, but the reality goes back to my first
Speaker 1: point I said, is it's so time consuming. Look, I'm
Speaker 1: a lunatic. When it comes up, I'll make time to
Speaker 1: do an auction draft. But the reality is is trying
Speaker 1: to get twelve guys that are on the road four
Speaker 1: or seven, three and sixty five, even to get him
Speaker 1: together to do an online draft is impossible. Seth Rawlins
Speaker 1: isn't gonna be in the country and he's gonna auto draft.
Speaker 1: He won the whole thing last year auto draft. He's
Speaker 1: got auto draft because the day we we selected, the
Speaker 1: majority selected, he's not gonna be around this happens. I
Speaker 1: would love to do more auction drafts. Um this raality
Speaker 1: is is I don't play with people that want to
Speaker 1: do them. Sure, Brian, how long do you think in
Speaker 1: auction draft compared to a snake draft? Just time wise,
Speaker 1: it's about two and a half times longer. I would
Speaker 1: say that regular regular drafts about an hour. When I
Speaker 1: did Sunday it took two and a half hours. But
Speaker 1: to me, it's the best part of fantasy football. It's
Speaker 1: my favorite. It's my favorite two and a half for
Speaker 1: the three and a half hours of the year. So
Speaker 1: I agree, like the draft itself is your is the
Speaker 1: most fun time of year. UM, how do you take
Speaker 1: advantage of players? Like you heard what you said about
Speaker 1: miss and Nick Schuf? How have you taken advantage Brian
Speaker 1: in the past in your auctions? The trith is I've
Speaker 1: been taking advantage more than anybody. I would always go
Speaker 1: with Seahawk, Seahuck, Seahawks, UM, you know, because I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be watching the games and I love I love Russell Wilson,
Speaker 1: I love the defense. Uh. So you know I don't
Speaker 1: have that many fanatical fans uh in the leagues I
Speaker 1: play in. UM, and this year I made it a
Speaker 1: point to go with this few Seahawks as possible. I
Speaker 1: wanted Penny, I can get penny for three bucks, great
Speaker 1: and Seahawks for Week one against Cincinnati at home. I'll
Speaker 1: take them for a dollar. Absolutely when you're getting when
Speaker 1: you're getting those prices, sure, but it's interesting, like when
Speaker 1: you know your own weaknesses and trying to harness that
Speaker 1: and turn it into a win. To me, the absolute
Speaker 1: best research that you can do is twofold one studying yourself,
Speaker 1: and that's what I did this past weekend. Obviously, Brian,
Speaker 1: that's what you've done, e y. We constantly talk about
Speaker 1: how you are trying to improve yourself as well. Knowing
Speaker 1: what you did and what worked and what did not
Speaker 1: work in your past auction leagues is the best way
Speaker 1: that you're gonna help yourself. I'm not gonna do what
Speaker 1: I did last year again, and I'm sure none of
Speaker 1: you guys will ee there because he didn't. You didn't
Speaker 1: win that way. That's how you improve number two. It's
Speaker 1: all about league history. Brian knows that the top running
Speaker 1: backs in his league go for seven, needs, seventy five,
Speaker 1: seventy eight, whatever, that is the range of these guys going.
Speaker 1: I'm sure every year. For me, I know that the
Speaker 1: top running backs go in my league, top picks go
Speaker 1: for less. And again, the numbers don't matter. It's just
Speaker 1: about your particular auction. So I can't you can't ask
Speaker 1: me how much should so and so go for because
Speaker 1: in Brian's league, in my league, it's entirely different. So
Speaker 1: for instance, I know that Sagon Barkley at maximum will
Speaker 1: go probably for around sixty five dollars or so. Am
Speaker 1: I willing to pay that? Probably not. That's not how
Speaker 1: I want to budget my team, but that is how
Speaker 1: I wind up pricing these guys. Using league history, I
Speaker 1: studied the drafts of other participants and I kind of
Speaker 1: have a feeling what they do. I know there's certain
Speaker 1: players that don't want to spend fifty dollars for anybody.
Speaker 1: They want to just load up on the twenty five
Speaker 1: dollar players and have a quality and ultimately turned that
Speaker 1: quantity into more quality through trades or through free agent
Speaker 1: pickups and whatnot. And that's how they draft. Other guys
Speaker 1: are going stars and scrubs. E y for you? Are
Speaker 1: you somebody that wants to go stars and scrubs? Do
Speaker 1: you want to just load up on middle of the
Speaker 1: road guys. How would you plan an auction for for me?
Speaker 1: You gotta let the it kind of come to you.
Speaker 1: So the very first auction I ever did was the
Speaker 1: ESPN Man's League. It's sixteen team league that they have
Speaker 1: done on the show every year for fourteen or fifteen years.
Speaker 1: Uh Nate Rabbits was the host, him and Matthew Berry,
Speaker 1: and they put me in the league. I ended up
Speaker 1: missing a flight and having to rent a car and
Speaker 1: driving from Atlanta back to Nashville, which is about four
Speaker 1: and a half hours, and I had to call the
Speaker 1: only human being I knew that would be awake at
Speaker 1: seven in the morning and log into my account and
Speaker 1: we had to do the draft over the phone auction draft.
Speaker 1: It was also the first time I had ever played
Speaker 1: in a super flex league. I did not do well,
Speaker 1: and I definitely went stars and stars and scrubs. I
Speaker 1: had two or three really high end players that I
Speaker 1: spent a bunch of money on, and then I had
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys and at the end of the
Speaker 1: draft there was like, you know, guys that are like
Speaker 1: I would nominate and I'm like, oh, I can get
Speaker 1: this guy for a dollar, and then someone would get
Speaker 1: him for two. But I didn't have enough, you know,
Speaker 1: I had one dollar left and I'm trying to get
Speaker 1: I'm trying to nominate these players that I want, and
Speaker 1: then guys would just bully me and and pay two dollars,
Speaker 1: which the guy is definitely worth it, like late in
Speaker 1: the draft. And I think that probably fatigue has a
Speaker 1: lot to do with this, where you just get tired,
Speaker 1: you mean like you get tired of drafting and looking
Speaker 1: and and and eventually you just like let players go
Speaker 1: for a dollar and that's where the real value is. Brian,
Speaker 1: is there a strategy for you? Because Ei is totally right.
Speaker 1: It is exhausting, especially you're staring at your computer and
Speaker 1: you're seeing guys go and you don't have money to bid,
Speaker 1: and you're very frustrated. Is there a strategy to you
Speaker 1: when you put your bid in, Like, there's always that
Speaker 1: guy in the draft. I don't know if it's you
Speaker 1: or not, that going once, going twice. Yeah, I'll go
Speaker 1: another dollar. You could have want the dollar immediately, but
Speaker 1: you waited until it was one damn second on the clock.
Speaker 1: Is there a strategy for you when you decide to bid.
Speaker 1: That's what I tend to do is press it immediately.
Speaker 1: I'll go that one dollar right away. Um. There's been
Speaker 1: times where there's going once, going twice and I it's
Speaker 1: threw it and I pressed the show, of course because
Speaker 1: it's worth it to me. But my strategy that I'm
Speaker 1: just dollar dollar dollar dollar every time. UM, just let
Speaker 1: them know I'm gonna get this player. You're over so
Speaker 1: it sounds like you're overly aggressive, like they're gonna know,
Speaker 1: They're gonna know when you're in on somebody. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: So for me, I I try to actually again and
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I'm thinking too much in my own head.
Speaker 1: But like I try to do a mix of bull
Speaker 1: I try to be hyper aggressive and then there's times
Speaker 1: I mix it up and then I get in a
Speaker 1: little bit later on in the bidding, just so I
Speaker 1: don't know if people throw people off. Again, I know
Speaker 1: people aren't just thinking about me. They have to worry
Speaker 1: about their own team. But maybe they miss it. And
Speaker 1: if I'm aggressively bidding early, maybe they they don't even
Speaker 1: realize who's up and how much they are going for.
Speaker 1: I think there is something to be said for that,
Speaker 1: using people's exhaustion against them. You have to pay attention
Speaker 1: for every single pick. There is no time off during auction.
Speaker 1: It's not like when you're the end of a snake
Speaker 1: and you're at the turn, you go all right, I
Speaker 1: don't pick another twenty four picks. You don't have that
Speaker 1: in an auction. So use that to people's advantage. We
Speaker 1: have a lot more strategy conversations, and I also want
Speaker 1: to get into players. With Brian, we know how EU
Speaker 1: I and I are thinking. I want to talk about
Speaker 1: some certain players that Brian likes and why as well.

Speaker 1: with Craig Mish, you could usually expect two or three
Speaker 1: uh different times when a player would end up hitting
Speaker 1: three home runs in a game, but it's been happening
Speaker 1: way more often in baseball this year. In fact, you've
Speaker 1: seen it two different times this year where two players
Speaker 1: in the same night ended up hitting three home runs.
Speaker 1: It's like a normal occurrence at this point, weekdays noon
Speaker 1: to two pm Eastern on the A T. S. Y
Speaker 1: Sports networking on your popular podcast providers. You never stopped researching,
Speaker 1: and I'm doing that now reading um on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football and dot com. A story actually published two years
Speaker 1: ago about Michael run Rich and he just spoke about
Speaker 1: uh auction strategy and it's just so interesting how everybody
Speaker 1: has a different strategy, which makes fantasy so fun to mean,
Speaker 1: Scott Hangle said for years, there's a million different ways
Speaker 1: to win your fantasy league, and it's true. And I
Speaker 1: spoke about before how I was reading an article about
Speaker 1: nominations and how you nominate players you don't want early
Speaker 1: then to change it up later. And he's saying, hey,
Speaker 1: nominate the quarterback early because you're not gonna be the
Speaker 1: one that pays up for quarterback. Well, that makes sense.
Speaker 1: The other piece of infot that he says here, which
Speaker 1: I find very very interesting, is that you want to
Speaker 1: nominate running max and wide receivers ahead of their ranking
Speaker 1: that because ultimately, if you nominate them earlier than they expect,
Speaker 1: their price should be higher than you expect. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I necessarily agree with it, because the other
Speaker 1: side of that is people may wait for the guys
Speaker 1: that they value more. For instance, if I nominate DeVante
Speaker 1: Freeman relatively early in this year's draft, people may say, well,
Speaker 1: you know what, carry On Johnson is kind of in
Speaker 1: that tier. Aaron Jones is kind of in that year.
Speaker 1: I like them more. I'm going to wait for them
Speaker 1: and then maybe you get a bit of a steel
Speaker 1: here on Devonte Freeman. Bryan, we don't know exactly how
Speaker 1: you feel most of these players you and I saw
Speaker 1: every day. Where are you on Devonte Freeman this year? Um? Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I actually paid thirty eight dollars for him? Um yeah.
Speaker 1: I think he says he's healthier than it was going
Speaker 1: into last season. I hope that's true. Uh, you can't
Speaker 1: have a really trust what they say. Um, but I
Speaker 1: think it's he's this clear number one running back outside
Speaker 1: of those top three guys four if you include a
Speaker 1: Zekiel If if he does in fact play and for
Speaker 1: for the value getting him half the price, and I
Speaker 1: jumped on him. Yeah. I like Davonte Freeman in this
Speaker 1: range as well. And he's one of these ugly event
Speaker 1: rings that nobody's gonna want. Now again, the Atlanta offensive
Speaker 1: line and not look good last night? How much you
Speaker 1: y do you take preseason into account for things like that?
Speaker 1: Like forget, I don't care about stats obviously, but I
Speaker 1: checked out the Jets Falcons preseason game. I know you're
Speaker 1: gonna watch all these preseason games over next week, and
Speaker 1: the offensive line was just was pulled. And I'm worried
Speaker 1: about scheme then more than anything else. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: worry too much about that. Like, the reality is that
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of stuff about the Raiders beating, um,
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Look, the Arizona Cardinals aren't even running their
Speaker 1: playbook that they're going to use, you mean, like and
Speaker 1: if they are, they're only using half of it. That
Speaker 1: this is what teams do they hold back. Um. Also
Speaker 1: with the line, it might not be set. They may
Speaker 1: have twos and threes in there because to give them
Speaker 1: raps and and see what they're at there. Also there's
Speaker 1: this is the time of year where teams are are
Speaker 1: putting players that they don't want to keep out in
Speaker 1: hoping that they do something in the preseason so they
Speaker 1: can move them. So it's it's something that you have
Speaker 1: to pay attention to for sure. Um. Like I said, like,
Speaker 1: I'll watch all the games, but I think that just
Speaker 1: comes down to that that I'm a lunatic when it
Speaker 1: comes to stuff, and I want to watch them. Having
Speaker 1: game passed, I can watch, you know, thirty minutes, I
Speaker 1: can watch a whole game every snap of a whole game,
Speaker 1: so it makes it way better. But I'm not worried.
Speaker 1: I'd of the Atlanta offense. Matt Ryan. I think he's
Speaker 1: gonna have a big year. The thirteen games indoors on
Speaker 1: a track is going to be good for DeVante Freeman.
Speaker 1: They say he's healthy. Um, None of the other backs
Speaker 1: other than maybe Brian Hill, like Edo Smith, hasn't looked good.
Speaker 1: So I feel like Freeman is gonna get He's gonna
Speaker 1: get his usage for sure. How much do you pay
Speaker 1: attention to the preseason, Brian, I watched next to none
Speaker 1: of it. Um, And when I hear you say how
Speaker 1: bad or shaky the line looks for the Falcons, I
Speaker 1: just built a little bit. Um. But yeah, a lot
Speaker 1: of the starters, they're not even gonna put him out there,
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't either. Um, you know, you risk him
Speaker 1: getting injured. You know, I remember as a kid watching
Speaker 1: Jason Sehorn returned a uh kickoff for a punt and
Speaker 1: he was out for the season. First player the first
Speaker 1: preseason game. So yeah, to me, it's there'll be guys
Speaker 1: who will lead the league in rushing yards that will
Speaker 1: never get a snap, you know, lead league in Russian
Speaker 1: arts during the preseason will never get a snap dur
Speaker 1: in the real season. And that's and that's obviously true. Again,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking more of scheme, and I spoke about this yesterday.
Speaker 1: How when it comes to defenses and you look at
Speaker 1: the scheme, who's being aggressive with the sacks, with the turnovers,
Speaker 1: and you try to get an idea of who will
Speaker 1: be aggressive for fantasy purposes as well. The only reason
Speaker 1: that I'm not just discounting what I saw last night,
Speaker 1: and I'm with you, Ran, I don't watch preseason. I
Speaker 1: don't really care about it. I'm not the maniac that
Speaker 1: e Y is with it. But what I'm learning is,
Speaker 1: like last night, the only reason I bring up the
Speaker 1: Falcon's offensive line again is because Matt Ryan was in there.
Speaker 1: And they're not having schmucks in front of Matt Ryan
Speaker 1: because they don't want him to get killed. And as
Speaker 1: any Jett fan will tell you that watch the game
Speaker 1: from New York last night, they're going to They Jets
Speaker 1: got to him over and over and over again. I
Speaker 1: understand the Jets defensive line is nothing to sneeze at,
Speaker 1: but Matt Ryan was getting pummeled last night and it
Speaker 1: was just a small cause of concern for me, whatever
Speaker 1: that means when it comes to Arizona You, I'm glad
Speaker 1: you brought that up. Did you see any of that
Speaker 1: game yet? I haven't. I saw some stuff on Twitter.
Speaker 1: Um was was reading through some articles today on the
Speaker 1: Athletic So I haven't watched it yet, but I will
Speaker 1: probably watch it at some point today. Yeah, so they
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray was like decimated last night. He just he
Speaker 1: looked overmatched. And I'm wondering, and I know we talked
Speaker 1: about this in the betting portion of the program that
Speaker 1: Jon Gruden is also a maniac and he cares about
Speaker 1: preseason probably more than any other coach because he's Jon
Speaker 1: Gruden and Live Kingsbury. I don't know if he wasn't
Speaker 1: and you know, he wasn't running plays and he didn't
Speaker 1: scout or any of that nonsense, but he looked overmatched
Speaker 1: as well. And I have to pause now when it
Speaker 1: comes to everyone jumping in here on Kyler Murray, jumping
Speaker 1: in here on David Johnson, because that offensive line was
Speaker 1: a major worry of mine coming into the season, and
Speaker 1: I've seen nothing to disprove that notion. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I think the hype, it is quite a bit out
Speaker 1: of control. Like I told you earlier, a couple to go,
Speaker 1: I bought a Cardinals hat because I'm curious. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't think that where Murray's going right now. I
Speaker 1: don't think I have him on a single best ball
Speaker 1: team that I've drafted because he's going way, way, way
Speaker 1: too high for a rookie quarterback. Um, I think he's
Speaker 1: the real deal. I think that the Cardinals offense is
Speaker 1: going to be awesome. You're going to want to own
Speaker 1: pieces of it. I think David Johnson is going to
Speaker 1: have a massive year because of his running ability. Uh,
Speaker 1: because of um, the quarterbacks running ability and the scheme
Speaker 1: that they're going to be in the much more fits
Speaker 1: his outside running. UM. So yeah, I just the hype
Speaker 1: is out of control for sure, And hopefully this game
Speaker 1: will squell shot and I'll be able to get some
Speaker 1: of these players out a better value. Yeah, that'd be
Speaker 1: I ideal. One word I do have about David Johnson
Speaker 1: the more I've looked into it, I think Michael Salfito
Speaker 1: wrote this on The Athletic was David Johnson and out
Speaker 1: of the shotgun because you're gonna un exclusively shotgun for
Speaker 1: the most part in Arizona, and I am a little
Speaker 1: bit concerned how things will go for him out of
Speaker 1: the shotgun. We'll see on the other side, Brian, Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson looked great last night for the Ravens, and running
Speaker 1: quarterback mark Ingram looked good too. Are you You know
Speaker 1: mark Ingram this season? Much more so than I am
Speaker 1: on Lamar Jackson. I get nervous with running quarterbacks and
Speaker 1: it scares me with how much Russell Wilson has to
Speaker 1: scramble because sooner or later those two hundred pound killers
Speaker 1: are gonna blow your knee out. Yeah, absolutely, Li sa
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson last night not sliding after the game out
Speaker 1: and Rodgers like try sliding, man like. He scored a
Speaker 1: touchdown that was called back. He looked explosive, electrifying. I
Speaker 1: do have him ranked ahead of Kyler Murray. But I'm
Speaker 1: buying that the Ravens and John Harball gonna run this
Speaker 1: dude into the ground and ultimately it could be major
Speaker 1: fantasy success. But it's also kind of scary. Eric, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's obviously scary, But Brian was just saying, this is
Speaker 1: its risk and reward fantasy football. I mean, look at
Speaker 1: it running quarterbacks. I heard us that today Josh Josh Allen,
Speaker 1: in the last seven games of the season was the
Speaker 1: number one quarterback to own in fantasy football. Think about that.
Speaker 1: This is the guy that has no accuracy, could hit
Speaker 1: the broadside of a barn. He can whip the ball,
Speaker 1: there's no doubt, like the armed town is there as
Speaker 1: far as down the field. But if he is not
Speaker 1: a good passing quarterback. But because of his rushing he
Speaker 1: was the number one. Not Aaron Rodgers, not Deshaun Watson,
Speaker 1: not not Andrew luck, not not any Ryan Carson went
Speaker 1: none of those big name guys. The number one was
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills were awful. Awful. What
Speaker 1: This is one of the reasons that every year I
Speaker 1: like Cam Newton for everything that you're describing. And he's
Speaker 1: a better pastor than Kyler Murray and a better passer
Speaker 1: than Lamar Jackson. And he's a better passor than Josh
Speaker 1: Allen too. That's why I like Cam Newton again this year,
Speaker 1: same thing. Um totally totally in love with what he
Speaker 1: can do, and of course with c mac behind him, Brian,
Speaker 1: because we're not with you every day who are some
Speaker 1: who are some of your higher price guys that you're
Speaker 1: targeting in both auctions and snakes. If if I had
Speaker 1: to do it again, I probably would have spent the
Speaker 1: eighty bucks on McCaffrey. Um. You know, it's just when
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it, I could have saved some money
Speaker 1: on Ingram. Was still only twelve bucks of an Ingram,
Speaker 1: but uh, I would have rather spent those few extra
Speaker 1: dollars to get the guy who I wanted. Uh. And
Speaker 1: then after that, you know, I got Davanta Adams for
Speaker 1: forty nine dollars and I would have been happy paying
Speaker 1: fifty five for him. Um. I think he's as reliable
Speaker 1: as it gets at that position. So there you go,
Speaker 1: Davante Adams and Christian McCaffrey, two guys that Brian Kendrick
Speaker 1: here really really liked this year. Brian, what pick in
Speaker 1: a snake draft? Do you do? You have one that
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I really want to get that pick. No.
Speaker 1: I saw some stat that, uh, if you're one or
Speaker 1: two or eleven or twelve, you have the best chance
Speaker 1: of winning. Um, but I think you're kind of screwed
Speaker 1: any where you anywhere you sit, you're screwed um. But
Speaker 1: I suppose I'd rather sit at a level or twelve
Speaker 1: than than one or two. Al Right, so eleven and
Speaker 1: twelve wanted too. I actually want to be on the
Speaker 1: ende one to three. I'll take four because I still
Speaker 1: believe in Zeke. I want ten, eleven, twelve. I think
Speaker 1: that middle of the draft ey this year. It makes
Speaker 1: it very, very tough for you. How do you think
Speaker 1: about that? Yeah, and this is this again. It just
Speaker 1: depends on your your roster set up. UM a league
Speaker 1: that I'm in with a bunch of the guys from
Speaker 1: n x T. This will be uh my third year
Speaker 1: in it. It's highly competitive. We do a live draft
Speaker 1: on flying down to Orlando to to do it with
Speaker 1: the guys. UM. It's fourteen teams. It's super flex. This
Speaker 1: year it went from a standard to a half point
Speaker 1: PPR and you only have five bench spots. I did
Speaker 1: a couple of mock drafts last night, and I got
Speaker 1: sick looking at my team, Like, but all teams look
Speaker 1: like that? You mean, like the reality is is having
Speaker 1: super flex and having all that stuff. It just depends.
Speaker 1: And I'm picked thirteen. They did. They did a live
Speaker 1: pick through uh through the chat group that we're all in. Um,
Speaker 1: they walk around, they have guys pick and actually Morrow,
Speaker 1: the announcer for an x T, was the guy he
Speaker 1: picked my name out number thirteen. So next time I
Speaker 1: see on my home a beating yes him hope. Potentially
Speaker 1: for that draft, that could be the auction. That could
Speaker 1: be the auction lead man, because it's clearly n x
Speaker 1: T guys or the people in the n x T league.
Speaker 1: They're all about changing, right, I go into the super
Speaker 1: flexx FANI League, going to half point PBR, They're willing
Speaker 1: to make changes here. Yeah, maybe next year if I'm
Speaker 1: still in it and I'm able to be in it,
Speaker 1: I think that would be something I probably would bring
Speaker 1: up at this draft. Um, we changed a bunch of
Speaker 1: the stuff. We vote on everything majority wins, uh. And
Speaker 1: I know none of the guys are gonna probably listen
Speaker 1: to the show. And I know having a super flex,
Speaker 1: having a super flex, it's going to give me a
Speaker 1: massive advantage because I don't think anyone else in the
Speaker 1: league has played super flex. So I'm gonna take two
Speaker 1: super stud quarterbacks really early. That's my plan right now
Speaker 1: going in, and I'm gonna dominate, love it. I love it.
Speaker 1: That's their own fault for not listening to show, not
Speaker 1: not following what you're doing on a regular basis, because
Speaker 1: that's the thing we're we're revuling everything here. We don't
Speaker 1: hide anything. I said this yesterday, like I reveal everything.
Speaker 1: Anyone of my league mates want to know anything. I
Speaker 1: literally turned to my computer this way to like, whoever
Speaker 1: you want, it doesn't matter to me. But that's your
Speaker 1: own fault for not listening or not understanding here. Uh.
Speaker 1: I regret saying that because they are psychos too, so
Speaker 1: they probably are listening. They're doing research and what you're saying.
Speaker 1: Forget like doing the mock drafts. They're doing research and
Speaker 1: what you're saying, and p to just taking notes seeing
Speaker 1: they definitely follow you on Twitter at least. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Okay.
Speaker 1: Uh we had a minute ago before the break. When
Speaker 1: we come back, we're gonna do three questions in three
Speaker 1: minutes with Brian get his take on a couple of
Speaker 1: other things. I have a few more auction strategy points,
Speaker 1: uh that I do want to bring up here that
Speaker 1: I've read. Whether it's with the Fantasy Footballers or whether
Speaker 1: it's on the Action Network. It's just a couple of
Speaker 1: ideas that I have seen that I think it is
Speaker 1: worth bringing up, and it's it's really interesting, including the
Speaker 1: tight end position. How you shouldn't potentially nominate some of
Speaker 1: these tight ends yesterday that we were talking about yesterday,
Speaker 1: Eric that's not in the top tier but not below
Speaker 1: where you want and kind of just throw him out
Speaker 1: there who you don't want, like you and I have
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram and Hunter Henry, Bob Howard Howard first see
Speaker 1: where he goes, and then you get an idea how
Speaker 1: much it will take to get Hunter Henry and Evan Ingram.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit interesting strategy that I was reading today.
Speaker 1: All Right, we'll take a break here, three questions, three minutes.

Speaker 1: three minutes with Brian Kendrick. Here, Brian, a scale of
Speaker 1: one to ten. How concerned are you about Todd Gurley's knee? Continuing?
Speaker 1: You drafted in this past weekend? Uh? Yeah, sumwhere between
Speaker 1: eight and ten? Then why did you draft him? Because
Speaker 1: I was a fool? Uh you know once once, once
Speaker 1: all those players are gone and they went for a
Speaker 1: little more money than you're willing to spend. You just
Speaker 1: gotta take a risk, and so I spent a little
Speaker 1: bit more of what I had. Uh, because you know
Speaker 1: he's the number one. It could be the number one,
Speaker 1: if he stays healthy. Which question number two? Which Seattle
Speaker 1: running back? Would you rather have Chris Carson or shot
Speaker 1: Penny when it's all said and done? Man, As a fan,
Speaker 1: I go with Carson. Go with Carson. He's I understand
Speaker 1: Penny went uh in the first round, and I'm excited
Speaker 1: about him, But I don't think Carson has done anything
Speaker 1: to lose that job. All right, Chris Carson doing enough
Speaker 1: uh to still have his job. Obviously with Seattle, the
Speaker 1: more you read, the more you hear from Brian Schottenheimer,
Speaker 1: the better it does seem about Chris Arson. Okay, pick
Speaker 1: one for question number three, Philip Lindsay or Royce Freeman.
Speaker 1: I go Freeman. Why is that? Uh? Well, because I think,
Speaker 1: you know, I like Philip Lindsay. I like, but he
Speaker 1: just seems too slight to me. And I'm much slighter
Speaker 1: than than Philip Lindsay is. But I think he's bound
Speaker 1: to uh to get hurt. I don't know why. I'm
Speaker 1: not hoping he does. I feel bad for saying that,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I and that's just a gut feeling, I
Speaker 1: suppose understandable. Brian Kegick, we appreciate the time, man. How
Speaker 1: many more drafts do you have this season? Just the one,
Speaker 1: just one of the w w E guys. I tried
Speaker 1: to get it to become a draft, only one that
Speaker 1: seemed to be biting with Kofi Kingston, our buddy e
Speaker 1: Y said they're great, but they just take way too long,
Speaker 1: and everybody else said flat out no. Alright, one more
Speaker 1: with the w w E guys. Brian, best of luck
Speaker 1: and uh to we hope it's you and EU in
Speaker 1: the finals. Man, thanks a lot for having me, guys,
Speaker 1: I had a blast and in the finals you alright.
