You're right, and I 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:03.160 strongly believe is we have spent weeks and weeks and 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:05.959 weeks prepping for our snakes drafts, going over who we 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.319 have in the first round, the second round, uh so 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.240 on and so forth, and yet that is by far 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:15.720 the least fair way to have any sort of fantasy draft. 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:19.080 It shocks me that, in with all the advanced statistics 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.959 and metrics and everything that you could get subscribing to 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:25.759 any site, not just ours, that we still is as 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:30.240 a majority of fantasy players playing fantasy football snake drafts. 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:33.080 E Y doesn't make sense to me. I feel like 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:35.680 snake drafts is just that's it's just how it's done. 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:38.400 It's it's how the NFL does their draft. I mean 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.120 they're drafting only rookies and players coming from college. But 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:43.199 it's how they do it. I mean it's the big 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.039 thing for me is it's time consuming. And the reality 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:48.760 is is look me and you and Frank and everyone 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.920 that works there were all complete lunatics when it comes 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.680 to fantasy sports. But some people, like my wife, they 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:56.440 want to do one draft and they wanted to take 0:01:56.480 --> 0:02:00.920 an hour. It's not possible. My other big grape denist auctions, 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:02.640 I do like them. I just haven't done a lot 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.240 of them. But my big gripe is there's too much math, 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:08.720 and I was promised there would be no math. So 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:10.760 I think it depends, obviously if you do a live 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:13.920 auction versus an online auction. So for me, I've done both. 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.840 And I think even if you're doing an online auction 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:19.959 and you're sitting there with the eleven other guys or 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:21.760 girls that are in your draft, and you have your 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.040 computer and you're all in ESPN or YAH who or 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:26.360 CBS whatever, at least you're all around. And then like 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.760 when you're going one on one with somebody and bidding 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:31.280 up each other and you're trying to see who's gonna 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.440 being first. I think there's something to that. Brian, Why 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:41.079 are you so pro auction drafts versus the standards snake format. Well, 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:45.520 I think you can really strategized going in. Um, you 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.560 could get the exact team you want. The only player 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:50.720 who I didn't get the player one of the most 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:54.160 was McCaffrey, but it just didn't make sense for how 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.560 much he went for. There's been years in the past 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:58.560 that I've been able to get the players I want 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:02.720 from top to autumn, and uh, with a snake draft, 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.280 if i want someone like DK Metcalf, now I'm gonna 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.360 have to uh maybe get him in the seventh round 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.280 when he would be an eleventh rounder just because I 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.920 want him and I know somebody else will where instead 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:16.600 I can get him for three bucks out of my 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.800 two hundred. To me, it's it's just a it's a 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.800 more beautiful strategy. Uh, there's a lot more of a 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:27.040 strategy to it. You're not, let's say, forced to take 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:32.800 somebody you wouldn't want to just because it's foolish not to. Uh, 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:36.640 You're involved in every single pick of the draft. It's 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:40.000 just way funder and I think people that don't do it, 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:42.880 it's just the Green Eggs and Ham sort of thing. 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.400 They don't want to try it. They think it sounds stupid. 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:48.280 They're used to doing the way they've always done it, 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:51.680 and it's the way they do it on TV. Be it. Uh. 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:56.800 You know, Matt Barry and the fantasy guys are on uh, 0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:00.640 you know, Fancy Football today. They all go with the 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:04.200 snake draft, and I think it's you can do one 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.680 auction draft. You're hooked. That's my vio. So I totally, 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.440 I totally, totally agree. You're involved in every pick and 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:13.320 you were in charge. When you ultimately f up, it's 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.560 because of you. And I've been on records sitting here 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.480 last year in the same auction that I have this weekend, 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:21.560 I fed up where I went and got a wide receiver. 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:23.520 I was trying to price and force. We're gonna talk 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.719 about all of this over the next hour or so, 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.479 and I got caught and then I got stuck drafting 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:30.160 another running back. And I have two hundred dollars that's 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:32.159 been a hundred and fifty on it on Odell Beckham, 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.760 Antonio Brown, and Jordan Howard. That was not a winning 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:38.839 situation last year, obviously, but I couldn't blame, Like all 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.000 the guys I wanted were gone, I let them go. 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.839 I screwed up. And now this year I have worked 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:48.719 really hard to come up with a plan, try to 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:51.040 budget as best as I can, and go into the 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:54.880 draft knowing I'm gonna stick too. Said idea, said plan. 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:58.920 When you're in a snake draft, you don't have that control, 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.479 and I think as fantasy owners, we are constantly trying 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.240 to find that control. We are trying to be as 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.800 safe as possible, because that's how you're gonna win. Be 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:11.280 safe early, take risks late, and mold it together. You're 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:14.000 going to have a winning team. I believe you have 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:17.000 the best opportunity to do that in an auction draft, 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:20.200 wherein snake you lose some of that power, you lose 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:23.200 some of that control. That's what we're trying to change. 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:28.200 Um in fantasy sports e I ultimately fantasy football and 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.719 really all fantasy sports. There's a lot of look involved. 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:32.920 But I think in an auction draft you're kind of 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:35.880 limiting the amount of luck that goes into it because 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:39.960 you have the power. The percentage of luck, I think 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.480 it doesn't change. But but what I think is the 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:46.279 coolest part of any auction draft is for me. You know. 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.120 We we've been saying on the show is make make 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:52.640 an a DP list, Make make an average draft position 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.719 list of your own that you can follow in your drafts. 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.320 And the reality is is you can have any player 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.400 if you're willing to spend, you can have any player. 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.320 So that's exciting to me. Like the guys that I'm 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:07.200 higher on, I know for sure, you know I'm going 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:10.159 to get that guy. I mean, he's being said that 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:13.000 he's worth ten to twelve dollars, but I can put 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.080 fourteen or fifteen because I believe he's gonna outdo that. 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:18.160 So I can get that guy. I can have all 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:20.440 of my guys and the guys that I believe in, 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:22.920 because don't there's a massive strategy for how much money 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.320 you spend. And like you said, last year, you got caught. 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:29.160 So auction is is crazy and there's not one to like. 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.679 So it's a it's that's that's the craziest part. There's 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:35.800 not one to like. You can mock, you can destball 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:39.000 all you want. Every auction is different. We're gonna explain 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:40.880 why and how to rank your players for an auction. 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:48.159 Dor Daily Rhodo dot Com learned from the game's best 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:52.640 DFS players.

So and so is player Well that works, 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:16.240 but not especially well for me. When I'm doing an auction. 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:22.080 This is truly when the tears are more important than ever, Brian, 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:25.000 when you're ranking your guys, do you use tears for auctions? 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:33.000 What I'll use is a cap So McCaffrey seventy and 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.960 once he started going to seventy eight, I was out. Um, 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.480 So i just put a dollar value to every guy, 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:40.800 and I'll try not to go higher than that unless 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.200 I've got the extra money to spend because I paid 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.880 less for somebody else, right, And of course, But for me, 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:48.000 when I'm trying to plan for the auction, I have 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:49.760 all my guys. I'm gonna turn my computer around here, 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:53.200 so I have all my guys in color coded tears 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:57.040 so I can understand, so I can understand best. Um 0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:59.400 where that's here kind of ends. And that's what I 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.000 found to be the most helpful. So this top what 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:03.640 is his running backs by receivers? Right, So this is 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:07.800 the running backs, right, So in an auction, this top 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:11.120 tier here, if you're watching on video, this top tier 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:16.240 here are the four running backs. Obviously Barkley McCaffrey, Ezekiel Elliott, 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:20.040 who's still in there for now, and Alvin Kamara. Typically, 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:24.079 I have found in an auction that the first player 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:26.480 in a tier is usually going to be the cheapest 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.800 because everyone kind of has the same idea. Like all 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:31.000 three of us know that the top four picks in 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:33.719 a standard Snake draft are these four guys right here. 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.840 But when all three of them are gone, the odds 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.720 are that everybody in that room where everybody is in 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.800 your draft knows the same exact thing that you do, 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:46.840 that the fourth one is the last one left, and 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:49.240 he's going to go for the most money. So I 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:53.000 have found that in an auction, you better getting before 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:56.760 that tier ends because you're not smarter than everybody else 0:11:56.800 --> 0:12:00.800 in that room, and e y quickly it's going to 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.040 dry off, and all of a sudden you wind up 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.480 paying way more for the last player. And that's here. 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:09.200 Maybe it's McCaffrey at seventy eight dollars. Then let's say 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:13.320 Sikon Barkley went when he was nominated a while back. Yeah, 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:15.439 there's tons of strategy to it. Is like you're saying, 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.920 is is with the tier based drafting if you want, 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:20.880 I mean you want one of those guys, you can 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.480 have any one of them you want. But like you said, 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.679 like say, and there's no rhyme or reason to win guys, 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:31.360 Uh nominate players. Um. There's always huge discussions every year 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:34.640 on a strategy to that. Do you nominate guys that 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:37.440 you want? Do you wait for someone else to nominate 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:39.679 him and then go after him? Do you you were 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.360 talking yesterday about nominating a bunch of your one dollar 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:44.760 guys first. I mean, nobody knows how this works because 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.319 every single draft is different and you're drafting with different people, 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:52.040 different leagues, different settings. But like the best thing about 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:55.199 these auction drafts are no matter what, you can get 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:58.600 your guys. And what I'm saying, uh like a DP, 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:02.320 I'm not saying, UM, organize it in the number and 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.280 like you know, the first guy is a hundred dollars 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:06.920 and the second guys dollars. I'm just saying, have a 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:10.520 list of guys that you like, UM, that you think 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:13.040 could outdo their position and and a and a kind 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:16.400 of like Brian was saying with the money, that's what 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:18.280 the big reason I don't like them is it it's 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:20.920 that's so hard to organize and I don't know who's 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:24.160 gonna like what player. So this is uh, it's definitely 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:26.320 there's a lot more preparation in my opinion, to a 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:28.600 snake draft, but the tier system seems to be what 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:30.640 the best way to do that? So you wrote up 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:32.720 something I really wanted to get into Eric today, and 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:36.160 that is nominations, Brian. When you're nominating players, what's your 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:40.680 what's your plan? Is there a Rhymeman reason? So typically 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:45.280 in the past I would nominate guys that like Ezekiel Elliott, 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:48.120 who I have no interest in UM and let people 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:50.360 bleed their money drive. So for the first time this 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:54.240 year and did the draft on Sunday, I nominated guys 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:59.520 who have wanted UM. I think it works both ways. Uh, 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:02.680 but I agree. You know you've got that fourth guy, 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:06.840 you're gonna spend ten more dollars than then maybe that 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:08.800 guy you wanted a little bit more if you didn't 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:11.959 get in early. There's a whole lot to it. Yeah, 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:15.559 and I entirely agree. So since we talked yesterday or 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:19.080 two days or whatever about the nominations, I did a 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.640 lot of research on it just to understand that if 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:25.000 I was being idiot nominating those dollary guys early and 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:27.800 from what I found, the best strategy is that everybody. 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:31.400 Chiman of course is the obvious one, and Brian, you 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:35.160 were right, like typically you nominate players you don't want. 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:38.240 You want money off the board. It makes sense if 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:40.920 you have no interest in Ezekiel Elliott, somebody's going to 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:45.520 pay you know, a ton of money for this guy 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:47.360 you don't want, and then you could eliminate them. You're 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:50.000 knocking guys off the board one by one. I think 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.120 that even though it is the most basic strategy and auction, 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.400 it makes sense because you're trying to get money off 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.000 the board to put you in a bully position, to 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:01.840 put you in a power spot where you have money 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:03.880 and everybody doesn't. But it's going to get to the 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:05.760 point where I think you have to mix it up 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:08.000 because if everybody knew as you're just nominating people that 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:12.080 you don't want, well, when you do bid on somebody, 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:14.560 they're gonna know you want them and they're gonna wind 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:16.160 up beating you up. I think you have to mix 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:17.880 it up. And as you get towards the middle of 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:21.480 your drafts Uy, I think that's probably where you start 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:24.560 nominating some guys you want and hopefully the prices are 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:28.360 what you want. Yeah, and it's it all depends on 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.440 on league mates, you mean, like knowing them and knowing 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:34.800 knowing who they're high on. Like I had mentioned the 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:38.200 show before, I live in Nashville and we do a 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:40.640 home league. It's been fourteen years running, and it's a 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:42.600 bunch of guys that live here and there's a there's 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:46.560 you know, five or ten Titans fans. So Titans go 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:49.520 higher than everyone else then in any other league. Like 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:51.920 Derrick Henry, it wouldn't surprise me if he's picked in 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:53.920 the first round this year, won't surprise me at all. 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:57.040 Corey Davis in the third or fourth round. That's it's 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.720 just that crazy. So I know in that league, I'm 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:01.640 not gonna have a lot of Titans, even though I 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:03.560 I do. I do go after them because I want 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:08.080 to cheer for my guys. But nominating players, I think 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:10.640 it can do it. It's two ways. Like one, you 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:12.880 can nominate a guy and like for me, the base 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:15.560 strategy is you're trying to get people to spend money 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:17.440 on players that you don't really want. But at a 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:19.520 certain point, like for me, like that would be Andrew 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:22.240 Luck I'm not interested in owning him, especially right now. 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:24.080 I mean that could change over time, but right now 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:26.800 I don't want him on my team because I don't 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:28.600 know if he's gonna play, and if he does play, 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:30.680 how effective is he gonna be? So if I nominate him, 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:32.760 but if it doesn't go up and I can get 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:37.480 Andrew Luck for I mean, and he does play, that's 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:39.880 a massive steel. So you, I mean, you need to 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:43.640 pay attention to every single pick. You can't. You can't 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.160 write them off because they're savings there sometimes, and that's 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:48.560 that's an even stronger point. Like Andrew Luck. I know 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:50.920 in draft, ui you are just you're not even touching him, 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:52.920 You're not worry about it, you're just moving on. But 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:55.800 in auction the price may be right where you're like, 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.360 all right, I will even you. Brian, who does not 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:00.920 want ze Hugh Elliott, I'm sure there's a number that 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:05.040 you would pay for him. Well sure, I mean I 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:08.119 paid fifty four for Girly and I was nervous going in, 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:13.040 but as you said, once guy started going, I'm desperate. 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:16.760 And so if I could get Ezekiel Elliott forty bucks, 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:20.440 how do I resist? You do you have because you 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:22.840 you drafted this pass on day So do you have 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:26.920 how much Ezekiel Elliott went for in your auction? Um? 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:30.159 I think he went for fifty eight dollars out of 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:33.800 the standard two. Right. How much did the other guys 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:38.080 go for? In his tears, McCaffrey said, you said seventy eight? Um, 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:43.040 how much do you Barkley and Camara go for? I 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:45.679 think they both went north of seventy dollars? So then 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:48.080 Iszekiel Elliott just in year league? Every least different when 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:50.240 he hit into this after the break, But Zekiel Elliott 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:56.200 went for a uh start discount compared to those three. Yeah, 0:17:56.640 --> 0:18:00.399 Levian bell is really Uh what's scared everybody like Styear 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:05.240 with with his holdout being sincere um? So yeah, people 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:07.240 are afraid of him. They're afreid of Gordon and I 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:09.440 am too, Yeah, so am I How much how much 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:17.120 the Melvin Gordon go for? Oh jeez about something like that? Yeah, 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:20.560 so they are. It's very clear you gotta in his league. 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:22.440 And again, I'm gonna get into this in a few moments, 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:26.000 but in Brian's league, is Zegel Elliott goes for Forget 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:28.040 the numbers for a seconds, It doesn't matter, it's irrelevant. 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:30.680 He goes for twenty dollars less than all of the 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:34.520 other guys in his tier. Fine, that is a massive, 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:37.800 massive discount. Melvin Gordon, say what you will, but when 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:41.200 we started this draft process a few months back, he 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:45.639 was in that David Johnson lady on bell Ish tier. 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:50.000 He went for almost half of what those guys went 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:54.280 for in Brian's draft, A stark, stark discount. There. You're 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:57.240 gonna have to do with what you're comfortable with, euy 0:18:57.320 --> 0:18:59.840 in an auction? Would there be a number for you? 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:01.879 I know you what you how you feel about is 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:04.119 Zekility is still in your top four? Your number one 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:06.880 player for now? Is there a number with Melvin Gord? 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:09.280 We talked about rounds that you would't feel comfortable paying 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:12.320 for Melvin. There's a number for all these guys that. 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:15.520 The truth is is because of the Levy on Bell situation, 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:20.200 everyone is drafting scared. He's the only big money player. 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:23.040 He's the only guy that has ever done that ever 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:24.520 in the history of the NFL. He sat out an 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:30.320 entire season, made zero dollars, So that's scary. Everyone thinks 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:33.680 Jerry Jones will pay up. The Spanos is do the 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:38.720 same in Los Angeles.
