Speaker 1: Hello everybody. Welcome into the Fantasy Pros Dynasty Football Podcast,
Speaker 1: brought to you by League Tycoon, the Dynasty first fantasy
Speaker 1: football platform. I'm Ryan Warmley, joined as always by Scott
Speaker 1: Bogman and Pat Fitzmorris, and as sometimes by Seth Wilcock.
Speaker 1: We've got a full show for you here. We are
Speaker 1: doing a Dynasty super Flex startup draft, a lot of
Speaker 1: the similar settings that we have usually on these shows.
Speaker 1: It is super flex. We're not going to be drafting
Speaker 1: a defense or a kicker. We've got an odd number
Speaker 1: of bench spots to make it so it's an even
Speaker 1: number of rounds. I forget the exact number I put,
Speaker 1: but generally a normal startup draft here, super flex free
Speaker 1: ride receivers, all that fun stuff. In case you want
Speaker 1: to kind of follow along as you're doing this. All
Speaker 1: of our twenty twenty six consensus rankings and tiers can
Speaker 1: be found at fantasypros dot com Slash rankings. You can
Speaker 1: navigate to the Dynasty rankings from there as well. Before
Speaker 1: we dive in, I just want to let everybody know
Speaker 1: that today's live Dynasty super Flex startup mock draft is
Speaker 1: done using our mock draft lobby over at fantasypros dot
Speaker 1: com slash draft Wizard. Just like you'll see today, our
Speaker 1: multi user drafts allow you to practice quick and fun

Speaker 1: a public mock draft or create a private one for
Speaker 1: your friends over at fantasypros dot com slash draft Wizard.
Speaker 1: All right, that's enough preamble. It's a start up. We're
Speaker 1: going to dive right in as I get this thing
Speaker 1: going here. I think it'll be about a thirty second
Speaker 1: clock on each pick. Is I believe what I said
Speaker 1: it for. We are going to take some different approaches here.
Speaker 1: Since there's four of us, we're going to two to two.
Speaker 1: Two of us are going to go with sort of
Speaker 1: the productive struggle, willing to struggle a bit in year
Speaker 1: one for the long term view. The other two are
Speaker 1: going to take more of a win now approach. So
Speaker 1: I believe on the board it is Bogman has the
Speaker 1: first pick, not overall, but of the four of us. So, Bogman,
Speaker 1: what's your approach going to be today?
Speaker 2: I'm going to go win now like I typically do,
Speaker 2: and I'm going to take either Josh Allen or Drake
Speaker 2: May with that number two pick.
Speaker 1: Picking one oh two. There, Seth, you are picking sixth.
Speaker 1: What's your approach going to be?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Unfortunately, I'm just coming off releasing my top three
Speaker 3: hundred DEVI rankings, so I'm going to be taking Fits's
Speaker 3: approach and be a super agent.
Speaker 4: I'm going young.
Speaker 3: I don't care if I win in year one, but
Speaker 3: really try and take that approach where year two, year three,
Speaker 3: I'm certainly in the mix.
Speaker 1: Drake May does go one oh one here, a pick
Speaker 1: that I know Fitz would have been on board with.
Speaker 1: So Bogman, while you're on the clock here at one
Speaker 1: o two, I will ask Fitz, what is your approach
Speaker 1: going to be today?
Speaker 5: I'm playing against type or I'm going to force myself
Speaker 5: to go with a win now building. It's gonna be
Speaker 5: fun because it's not how I usually approach startups.
Speaker 1: So I will go with these second productive struggle here
Speaker 1: is so Seth and myself productive kind of makes sense.
Speaker 1: We're the younger guys on the show, so we're gonna.
Speaker 6: Bea and the Okay, Bob, you're you're you're closer to
Speaker 6: fits in age than us, Right, I have to assume yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: uh so Bob with you so again, like I said,
Speaker 6: I'll be uh.
Speaker 1: I'm at the one twelve and the draft going to
Speaker 1: the productive struggle fits going with the win out one
Speaker 1: eleven will be interesting to see picking back to back
Speaker 1: with a different approach there so far, first three picks
Speaker 1: Drake May, Josh Allen, and Jade Daniels. No huge surprises there,
Speaker 1: seth at one oh six with the productive struggle. Who
Speaker 1: are you eyeing and hoping gets back to you?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll be on honest like, I'm thinking about maybe
Speaker 3: throwing a little wild card at this selection. I want
Speaker 3: to get that quarterback position really nailed down. So I'm
Speaker 3: honestly eyeballing Jackson Dart, but I know that you know
Speaker 3: it's technically a reach at this standpoint. So I think
Speaker 3: I'm gonna stay packed, and if some of these younger
Speaker 3: wide receivers like Puoka like JSN can fall down to me,
Speaker 3: I think that will probably be the move here in
Speaker 3: the first round for me.
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase going one oh four, Lamar one oh five. Interestingly,
Speaker 1: Fitz was just telling me that Lamar went one twelve
Speaker 1: in an actual startup draft he did recently, which makes
Speaker 1: me extremely jealous, as I have the one twelve here,
Speaker 1: so I missed that up by about seven spots here.
Speaker 1: So may Allen Daniels Chase lamar All off the board,
Speaker 1: seth on the clock and he goes with JSN so
Speaker 1: for going a quarterback.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's kind of the move right here.
Speaker 3: I think there's a little bit of a tear break
Speaker 3: after these first couple younger quarterbacks have gone. I would
Speaker 3: have loved to get Drake May Jane Daniels if they
Speaker 3: were maybe in this vicinity. I think I can still
Speaker 3: get my QB one of the future in another round.
Speaker 3: So let's go ahead and find arguably who I think
Speaker 3: is one of the best wide receivers in the league.
Speaker 3: Always been underrated since his time out there in Columbus,
Speaker 3: and I think he'll continue to do good things in
Speaker 3: an offense that.
Speaker 4: Kind of devoid of playmakers.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, Beijon, the first running back off
Speaker 1: the board goes one oh seven, Pukinakua one o eight.
Speaker 1: I'm in ros Saint Brown one oh nine. So only
Speaker 1: four quarterbacks off the board here in the first nine picks.
Speaker 1: That feels fairly unusual for a super flex draft. I'm
Speaker 1: surprised to see that Jamiir Gibbs goes one ten. So
Speaker 1: four of the first ten were we're quarterbacks. That is
Speaker 1: a very low number in my experience. Fits here on
Speaker 1: the clock here at one eleven, are you going quarterback?
Speaker 1: Because so many of them are falling?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm thinking about that.
Speaker 5: I am gonna wait, and I'm gonna take.
Speaker 7: Justin Jefferson first.
Speaker 4: Nice, woh, it's good.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I think it's gonna be a lot better this
Speaker 5: year with a quarterback who's not named JJ McCarthy. And
Speaker 5: it was nice that we just saw Kevin O'Connell completely
Speaker 5: throw JJ McCarthy under the bus this year and talk
Speaker 5: about how he expected the offense to get going and
Speaker 5: Jefferson to get untracked with good quarterbacking this year.
Speaker 1: Or so at one twelve, I was planning on not
Speaker 1: taking two quarterbacks, mate, like at least was only gonna
Speaker 1: take one, But so many of them fell that I
Speaker 1: feel like, even that I'm leaning into the productive struggle,
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks who are not that old are still going
Speaker 1: to be kind of fit any strategy you want here.
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna go back to back Burrow and
Speaker 1: Caleb and just be very happy with my quarterbacks you're
Speaker 1: going forward. I don't usually do two. If I'm picking
Speaker 1: towards the end, it's usually one in one. Herbert was
Speaker 1: the other guy I considered, who just goes to you
Speaker 1: fits here. I was going to pick two of those
Speaker 1: three with them all getting there, and I ended up
Speaker 1: going with Burrow and Caleb, just the higher rank of
Speaker 1: the two. I do love Herbert as well, but kind
Speaker 1: of an easy when that level of quarterbacks are getting
Speaker 1: back to you in a super flex. I don't feel
Speaker 1: bad about it at all. Fits. Were you hoping Herbert
Speaker 1: was one who would get back to you? Or were
Speaker 1: you eyeing Burrow or Caleb?
Speaker 7: Honestly, I didn't care.
Speaker 5: I would have ranked them Caleb, Herbert, Spurrow, but I
Speaker 5: was taking whichever one of those three fell. I feel
Speaker 5: like when you're on an end like this, you kind
Speaker 5: of have to knock out one of the quarterbacks at
Speaker 5: the start of a superflex.
Speaker 1: Well, Chewbacca disagrees. He started with the one to ten
Speaker 1: and he goes Jumior, Gibbs and Seed Lamb, So he's
Speaker 1: not taking a quarterback with one of these at the
Speaker 1: back end here. Yeah, I adore Herbert. You know that,
Speaker 1: you know very well. I talk about him a lot,
Speaker 1: so I considered him instead of the Borough pick. I
Speaker 1: was gonna take Caleb regardless, like I said, I don't
Speaker 1: usually take Burrow, so kind of mixing it up here.
Speaker 1: He felt like one twelve was a steal. There two
Speaker 1: more non quarterbacks going Ashton Genty, Milik Neighbors, so a
Speaker 1: handful of teams in the back half of the first
Speaker 1: not going with quarterback Bogwin. What do you think seeing
Speaker 1: these different approaches so far in the back half of
Speaker 1: the first I think.
Speaker 2: A lot of people are depending on the quarterback class
Speaker 2: for next year, a little bit like for maybe one
Speaker 2: of their long term future quarterbacks. It feels like a
Speaker 2: lot of people are playing for the productive struggle here,
Speaker 2: which helps fits and eye for the win now I
Speaker 2: feel so I'm kind of liking that. I mean, Seth,
Speaker 2: you're considering taking Dart with that first pick. He's still
Speaker 2: on the board here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel really good about that. I think that's
Speaker 3: gonna be the way I go here at the two
Speaker 3: pH seven. I would love to grab one of these
Speaker 3: RB ones that have kind of fallen into this tier.
Speaker 3: Ashton Genty was someone I was kind of hiving in
Speaker 3: my queue, but ultimately he didn't get to me. Jeremiah
Speaker 3: Love just a little too much volatility there, I think
Speaker 3: in year number one with that, you know, overall disappointing
Speaker 3: Arizona offense we're likely going to see. So yeah, I
Speaker 3: love getting Jackson Dart, just a young mobile quarterback who
Speaker 3: I think will fill out the stat sheet very nicely.
Speaker 4: Here in New York.
Speaker 1: A couple more quarterbacks go off the board here, Mahomes
Speaker 1: and Hurts. So we're back to Bogman, who I started
Speaker 1: his team with Josh Allen and now has his pick
Speaker 1: of where everyon wants to go next.
Speaker 2: What are you thinking, Bucks, I'll go Tee Law here,
Speaker 2: you know, looking at the skilled position players, I like
Speaker 2: pick Ins, like Bowers. There's two picks in between me.
Speaker 2: I just hope one of those guys falls back from
Speaker 2: bunting Ted there. Yeah, he and he took Brock, which
Speaker 2: is not surprising, But I will take George Pickens here.
Speaker 1: We've seen Bowers go at that end of that two
Speaker 1: to three turn in a couple of these startup monocks
Speaker 1: before that. Feels like a really nice place to get
Speaker 1: quarterback at the top. Then Bowers and then just hammer
Speaker 1: other positions from there. Oh, I love almost getting back
Speaker 1: to Seth. Here goes one pick before by the way,
Speaker 1: pickens a Chan Purdy and love the last four picks
Speaker 1: while Seth considers his next pick. I want to let

Speaker 1: Seth walking me through your pick?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean for me, I felt like I was
Speaker 3: kind of at the end of a tier break here.
Speaker 3: Would have love to get a Chan or Jeremiah Love
Speaker 3: lockdown that RB one position.
Speaker 4: A Mecca Buka ended up being the pick, though.
Speaker 3: I just want a young wide receiver who might be
Speaker 3: young in age, but I mean talk about a guy
Speaker 3: who is well ahead of his years infar as being
Speaker 3: a pro doing all the right things, whether it's run blocking,
Speaker 3: whether it's just making sure he's coming down with the
Speaker 3: catch before he takes off and runs with it.
Speaker 4: So I think a Mecca Abuka, the.
Speaker 3: Clear wide receiver one in Tampa Bay moving forward, feels
Speaker 3: like a good, you know one b to have on
Speaker 3: my team right behind JSN there at the wide receiver position.
Speaker 1: I was hoping Loveland was gonna get to me. He
Speaker 1: goes one pick before fits Fits. Were you gonna take
Speaker 1: Loveland because I know you like him lot too, or
Speaker 1: were you going to go quarterback?
Speaker 5: Regardless, I probably would have taken Love London come back
Speaker 5: with a quarterback.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm on the clock here. I forgot we
Speaker 1: had short clocks here. I will take cardinal tape because
Speaker 1: I'm leaning into the production struggle here. Talented young player,
Speaker 1: obviously little you know, have a youth on my side,
Speaker 1: you know. McBride is somebody would consider if I was taking
Speaker 1: a different approach. He feels like more of a win
Speaker 1: now player, not that he's old, but obviously coming off
Speaker 1: the great year. Looking at who else I want, there's
Speaker 1: there's a lot of age available here, actually.
Speaker 2: Him and hauling worm.
Speaker 1: Well seconds, I'll go with lad McConkey here. You know,
Speaker 1: thirty year player. I think I think the first year
Speaker 1: is closer to his reality than the second year was.
Speaker 1: I'm really excited about what he's going to look like
Speaker 1: in a Mike McDaniel offense. Uh And since I didn't
Speaker 1: take any receivers with my first two picks, I'm happy
Speaker 1: to get a couple here, considering this is a three
Speaker 1: receiver league. Fits on the clock now, I'll let I'll
Speaker 1: let you think about this unless you already know who
Speaker 1: you're taking.
Speaker 5: Not sure I'm about to grab someone. I'm actually gonna
Speaker 5: take Trey McBride not normally, but yeah, I uh, early fourth,
Speaker 5: I think there's decent value there. I know he's gonna
Speaker 5: fall off this here, but it's not gonna be a
Speaker 5: total collapse. I still think he's gonna be good for
Speaker 5: about eighty catches.
Speaker 1: I was surprised fits that you took love with the
Speaker 1: first of your picks rather than the second of your picks,
Speaker 1: considering I already had two quarterbacks, probably taking a third.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I just looked at that too late.
Speaker 2: I did not, and I did the same thing with Bowers.
Speaker 2: I probably should have gone Bowers instead of Tea Law
Speaker 2: and then sawt te Law fell back.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that's why it's a mock.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's also mack with thirty seconds, so unlike most
Speaker 1: startup for you have a bit more time here.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Plus we're trying to you know, chat about this as well.
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, McBride, Dak Prescott, go's next, James Cook,
Speaker 1: Chris Olave, aj Brown bringing us back to Seth who
Speaker 1: started with JSN, Jackson Dart and ameca Igbuca. So two
Speaker 1: receivers and quarterback. What are you thinking now?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I think my decision has been pretty
Speaker 3: made for me. Where we are in the tight end land,
Speaker 3: I gotta go with my guy, Tyler Warren. Former Penn
Speaker 3: State Nitneelyon. I think we really just saw like the
Speaker 3: tip of the iceberg for Tyler Warren. I mean we
Speaker 3: were talking probably halfway through the season a year ago
Speaker 3: where he was a top three tight end. Obviously fell
Speaker 3: off when old man Philip Rivers was there at the Helm,
Speaker 3: But I think if we can figure out that quarterbabback
Speaker 3: position in the next couple of years in Indianapolis, He's
Speaker 3: a long term dynasty asset that I want to have,
Speaker 3: and I really feel good about kind of locking up
Speaker 3: that position long term.
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson, Kenneth Walker, Breese Hall the next picks off
Speaker 1: the board, and then Bogman takes burd In. I know
Speaker 1: Fitz was hoping Burden would get back to his next
Speaker 1: pick with how hi he has him ranked. Was that
Speaker 1: an easy pick for you, bog Man or was anybody
Speaker 1: else you were considering?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I wanted Tyler Warren so upset that Tyler Warren went,
Speaker 2: But Luther Burton is a nice Constellation prize here, and
Speaker 2: then I'm I need a running back now, so I'm
Speaker 2: my next pick is definitely gonna be an RB.
Speaker 1: Mendoza goes next Fits. What do you think about Mendoz
Speaker 1: as a fourth round pick in a startup?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that's a good spot for him.
Speaker 5: And I'm trying to think of where he went in
Speaker 5: our most recent the startup I'm in the middle of now.
Speaker 5: He might have gone a little bit later than that,
Speaker 5: but I think it's solid. I mean, I think he's
Speaker 5: gonna be no worse than a league average starter, so
Speaker 5: fine value Tyson.
Speaker 1: Then Treyvon Henderson goes next to Bogwin's two picks. I'm
Speaker 1: sure two Fits would have loved Burden and Henderson. Two
Speaker 1: of his favorites, DeVante Smith and s A. Flowers go
Speaker 1: off the board next kind of four picks in you
Speaker 1: ignore the first part of round five because not everybody's
Speaker 1: made a pick yet, But as far as the first
Speaker 1: four sort of foundational pieces, do you guys have a
Speaker 1: team start that you like the best? You know, it
Speaker 1: could be yours, it could be someone else's, one of ours,
Speaker 1: one of the you know the listeners are drafting against,
Speaker 1: they stand out to any of you, guys.
Speaker 5: Bunting's off to a pretty good start with a builts
Speaker 5: for youth but man, I mean Drake may Brock, Powers, Teterow, McMillan,
Speaker 5: like that is a dream one two three starts for
Speaker 5: a dynasty team, I think.
Speaker 1: And pairs Bowers with his quarterback of the future in Mendoz,
Speaker 1: right right, Yeah, I like that for sure. That's a
Speaker 1: good productive struggle that might not even be that much
Speaker 1: of a struggle, right right. You also have this elite
Speaker 1: quarterback in tight end combo.
Speaker 5: Even a side of the youth that's a winning year
Speaker 5: two team. I think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was considering Judkins here Seth with my next pick,
Speaker 1: So I think that's a nice one. You just made
Speaker 1: it five oh six? Was he you know you? Was
Speaker 1: it that you wanted to go and getting a running
Speaker 1: back with this pick regardless or was he just your
Speaker 1: favorite player on the board at any position?
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: A lot of the wide receivers that kind of went
Speaker 3: early in this round, Devon to Smith, Jordan Tyson that
Speaker 3: kind of fit this productive struggle type of mode.
Speaker 4: They end up going off the board. I did need
Speaker 4: a running back.
Speaker 3: There are a couple of younger ones from that same
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five class I was eyeing. I think Judkins
Speaker 3: though in for a big year under a guy in
Speaker 3: Todd Munkin who he didn't mind running Derek Henry in
Speaker 3: the ground last couple years. I think we get the
Speaker 3: same type production from Judkins up there along the shores
Speaker 3: of the lake Erie.
Speaker 1: I was hoping for Roemadoonsa. He goes to the five
Speaker 1: h nine, nice pick by sling shot here Rashid Rice,
Speaker 1: Chase Brown, T Higgins also off the board, fits on
Speaker 1: the clock.
Speaker 5: Now, yeah, all right, I'm gonna take Jalen Waddle.
Speaker 1: Mmm.
Speaker 5: I think he's gonna have a good year still. Like now,
Speaker 5: he's kind of squarely in his prime. I just think
Speaker 5: he's a guy who can produce kind of no matter
Speaker 5: what the role is. We saw him like succeed as
Speaker 5: a short area receiver early in his career. We saw
Speaker 5: him exceed succeed as sort of a designated lidlifter in
Speaker 5: his next couple of years. And I'm excited to see
Speaker 5: what it's gonna look like in Denver.
Speaker 1: I'm taking Marvin Harrison Junior, leading into the struggle part
Speaker 1: of productive struggle, but hopefully buying on upside here and
Speaker 1: bounce back. Now that Kyler Murray is not the permanent
Speaker 1: quarterback and the I'm gonna take Tucker Kraft, who obviously
Speaker 1: like had this breakout season last year that got cut
Speaker 1: short by injury. So if he comes back slower from
Speaker 1: the injury, that won't bother me as somebody who's willing
Speaker 1: to kind of play for a year or two here.
Speaker 1: But the talent is great, and he was barreling towards
Speaker 1: a Tier one tight end in Dynasty if he had
Speaker 1: kind of finished the season the way he started when
Speaker 1: he was healthy. So I'm betting on the talent here
Speaker 1: and the offense in general in Green Bay, and I
Speaker 1: didn't have a tight end yet, and I wanted to
Speaker 1: get a good one who was still young. He's only
Speaker 1: twenty five. So Harrison and Kraft my two picks here
Speaker 1: fits you were on the clock with the six h two,
Speaker 1: and take Bucky Irving.
Speaker 7: I think he's gonna have a good year.
Speaker 5: I don't think Kenny Gainwell is going to take away
Speaker 5: significant work from him. I mean, Bucky averaged better than
Speaker 5: twenty touches a game last year in a bad year,
Speaker 5: and I think he's going to be more like the
Speaker 5: Buckie we saw down the stretch in his rookie season.
Speaker 5: And I just even though I'm supposed to be the
Speaker 5: win now guy in this draft. I just couldn't take
Speaker 5: Christian McCaffery or sick one barklay an old running back
Speaker 5: at the top of round six. I just I want
Speaker 5: to win now, but I also don't want to totally
Speaker 5: punt away future chances of winning.
Speaker 1: So if it's not quite able to go fully against
Speaker 1: type here, I know, I know I'll fix Jared goffkambere
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield three of the next four picks. Brian Thomas
Speaker 1: Junior just like an interesting a player to try to
Speaker 1: evaluate in Dynasty, like epic Year one, really terrible Year two.
Speaker 1: A lot of mouths to feed there sets before we
Speaker 1: get to the guy that you actually did pick. What
Speaker 1: do you think about Bryan Thomas Junior in the sixth round.
Speaker 4: I'm completely okay with it.
Speaker 3: It does feel like, you know, you're kind of opening
Speaker 3: one of those wonderballs from back in the nineties where
Speaker 3: you're not really sure what you're exactly gonna get. But
Speaker 3: it could be something sweet, could be something not so sweet.
Speaker 3: But obviously the talent is on display. We saw it
Speaker 3: in Year one, we saw it there at LSU as well,
Speaker 3: But really where he fits in this offense. I think
Speaker 3: it's the biggest question. Will he be traded at maybe
Speaker 3: after this year. I'm not so sure. Jacobe Meers certainly
Speaker 3: kind of reinvented that passing game when he got there,
Speaker 3: so kind of a mixed bag of worms. But don't
Speaker 3: hate the move there from Foxworth at all.
Speaker 1: Mixed bag of what now?
Speaker 4: Mixed bag of worms? I guess it would.
Speaker 1: I hear worm and I proke up. So walk me
Speaker 1: through your actual pick you did make. Jamison Williams, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, guy who's still twenty five.
Speaker 3: I need another wide receiver, I think in a three
Speaker 3: wide receiver league, I want to lean into the boom
Speaker 3: bust nature that is James and Williams a little bit.
Speaker 4: I trust him a little bit more from an injury.
Speaker 3: Perspective than someone like Christian Watson, who was also in
Speaker 3: that same tier in my dynasty rankings, but a guy
Speaker 3: who for all the him and hang we did a
Speaker 3: year ago, still finished as a wide receiver one in
Speaker 3: PPR scoring. So happy to get him here. I think
Speaker 3: it's a big year for Jared goffin company. They did
Speaker 3: a lot last year, right despite not having an offensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: So Bogman I see. You know, Christian McCaffrey and Terry McLaurin,
Speaker 1: your two picks, obviously guys who are on the older end.
Speaker 1: I assume CMC was a pretty easy pick, since you're
Speaker 1: doing a win now approach here.
Speaker 2: Anyway, Dude, when FITZI skipped both of those rbs and
Speaker 2: said he didn't want him, I was like, I'm about
Speaker 2: to take him both back to back here if they
Speaker 2: falled me. So Saquon went ahead of me, but CMC
Speaker 2: falling to my pick. I think it's just, you know,
Speaker 2: to balance a younger guy like Treveon Henderson who obviously
Speaker 2: has longer upside dynasty, even if you are going with
Speaker 2: when now, you want to get these guys that have
Speaker 2: length in their career in a long runway.
Speaker 4: He has that.
Speaker 2: I think Christian McAffrey is one of the perfect running
Speaker 2: backs to pair with him for this season and maybe
Speaker 2: one or two more seasons after this. And McLaurin, Yeah,
Speaker 2: McLaurin is just he's my third wide receiver right. Luther
Speaker 2: Burden is stepping into a big role. But I have
Speaker 2: some floor now with Terry McLaurin, and it makes me
Speaker 2: a little more free for that flex spot. I can
Speaker 2: get an RB or a wide receiver because I have
Speaker 2: high floor from Terry McLaurin.
Speaker 1: A couple of tight ends go back to back after that,
Speaker 1: Harold Fannin and Sam Laporta, then Tyler Schuck and then Seth.
Speaker 1: You take a second young running back camp Scataboo.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was actually thinking about taking Scataboo all the way
Speaker 3: up at the five o eight. So the fact that
Speaker 3: he fell here in the seventh round, I think the
Speaker 3: one thing that a lot of people miss in this
Speaker 3: guy's profile coming out of college. He's a really good
Speaker 3: pass catcher, right, so he's gonna give me some PPR
Speaker 3: upside that I'm not really getting with Judkins as much.
Speaker 3: Who's just kind of a ground and pound you're hoping
Speaker 3: for six type of guy.
Speaker 2: And we talked to Deepak, and Deepak spoke about because
Speaker 2: I asked about maybe the smaller guys are more prone
Speaker 2: to injury, and he said the data does not show that. So, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, even for a smaller guy, the window should
Speaker 2: be pretty long, even coming off a big injury.
Speaker 1: Yep, Jacobs goes one spot ahead of Fits.
Speaker 7: And I got sniped on him.
Speaker 5: I was fully intending to take him so, uh.
Speaker 1: There's another older running back right there who scores like
Speaker 1: fourteen touchdowns a season, and that's good. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: it's a little bit it's a little.
Speaker 7: Bit early for him, even in a startup.
Speaker 5: I think I got him in the I actually did
Speaker 5: take him in the start up I'm doing now and
Speaker 5: got him in like the ninth. This is the late
Speaker 5: eighth or late seventh.
Speaker 7: Sorry.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's a little bit early, but I got
Speaker 5: to be true to the wind now motif.
Speaker 2: Well, and also if you have an injury, you know
Speaker 2: risk in Bucky Derrick, Henry is a machine in a
Speaker 2: freak Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then I take Juderian Price again, kind of highlighting
Speaker 1: the differencestween win now and play for the future Henry
Speaker 1: and Price. Oh, I disagree. I think it wanted to
Speaker 1: be really good. That's okay, that's I was like surprising
Speaker 1: you're saying that, and then I'm going to do It's
Speaker 1: kind of an interesting thing since I'm not going for
Speaker 1: the win now, I'm going to take a third quarterback.
Speaker 1: I think as part of as part of the productive struggle,
Speaker 1: I want to take the upside swing and say I'm
Speaker 1: still building what my team is going to be for
Speaker 1: the future, and if Willis does turn into like this
Speaker 1: top twelve quarterback because of the running, now that's a
Speaker 1: really valuable piece a because I have three really good quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: or be an excellent trade piece as I try to
Speaker 1: fill holes on my team. So I went with Willis here,
Speaker 1: leaning in again to the youth and uncertainty as part
Speaker 1: of the productive struggle. And then fits you go with
Speaker 1: Parker Washington from Jacksonville.
Speaker 5: A guy like for now and for the future, and
Speaker 5: I only had two wide receivers. I don't want to
Speaker 5: let that position get away from me, so grab him,
Speaker 5: and I think the future is pretty bright for him.
Speaker 1: Mike Evan goes next, obviously a guy who you want
Speaker 1: to kind of pair an older team, and Chewbacca has
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, Dak Prescott, Josh Jacobs, so he is leaning
Speaker 1: into winning right now with his squad for sure. Ricky
Speaker 1: Piersal next, who I did. If I didn't take Willis,
Speaker 1: I was going to take Pearsall with my last pick,
Speaker 1: so I was definitely strongly eyeing him. Kyler Murray and
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold go next, bringing us to Seth with the
Speaker 1: eighth seven. While he's making that pick, today's show is

Speaker 1: a lot of picks in the last you know time,
Speaker 1: since I was doing that read soth took CJ. Stroud
Speaker 1: bog when you made back to back picks. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about your picks bogwin, and then we'll get to Stroud
Speaker 1: going to Seth when he makes his next pick. So
Speaker 1: Wydale Robinson and David Montgomery is the direction you went.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wanted the I wanted Javante, I wanted DK
Speaker 2: and CJ. Stroud were like the three in my queue,
Speaker 2: and they went in the four fix just in front
Speaker 2: of me, so brutal, great the CJ. Stroud, I mean it,
Speaker 2: the it was getting to the point where he had
Speaker 2: to go soon, Seth, so very smart picked by you,
Speaker 2: and then DK and Chavante right in front of me.
Speaker 2: Wandale should provide a lot of floor for PPR and
Speaker 2: David Montgomery another running back, you know, just in case
Speaker 2: McCaffrey gets hurt, treyvon Henderson doesn't get the usage. I
Speaker 2: want to give me a little floor there. So that's
Speaker 2: where I went with those picks, and you know they
Speaker 2: don't have to be all upside in a win.
Speaker 1: Now, Seth, you go see J. Stradd and then Kenyon
Speaker 1: Sadik taking your second tight end obviously a first round
Speaker 1: pick to the Jets with Stroud. There were four quarterbacks
Speaker 1: that went in the span of like six or seven
Speaker 1: picks there, Malik, Willis, Kyler, Murray, sam Arnold Stradd with
Speaker 1: Stroud the one you wanted or would you have considered
Speaker 1: one of those other quarterbacks?
Speaker 3: He was like, it's not a sexy pick, but for
Speaker 3: a guy who's still only twenty four years old, he's
Speaker 3: in a great system down there in Houston. He has
Speaker 3: play catcher or pass catchers and playmakers surrounding him.
Speaker 4: I think there's still a lot of upside.
Speaker 3: Is he closer to that, you know, rookie season version
Speaker 3: than what we've gotten over at the last two I'm
Speaker 3: not sure anymore. I mean, looking at him and what
Speaker 3: he did at Ohio State, I thought he was the
Speaker 3: type of quarterback who was a Sunday type of guy.
Speaker 3: I think he still has upside, but it definitely just
Speaker 3: kind of gave me just that security at the quarterback
Speaker 3: to position while still building that youth on the team.
Speaker 1: Foxworth crushing me with this Kyle mnunguy Pick. I was
Speaker 1: definitely eyeing him here at the nine to ten turn,
Speaker 1: although Fits might have taken him before me anyway, but
Speaker 1: I was. I was hoping for him. Uh, Jayden Higgins
Speaker 1: goes one pick away from you, Fits, who are you eyeing?
Speaker 1: And who were you maybe eyeing? That's gone.
Speaker 5: I would have taken Manong guy, and now I'm going
Speaker 5: to try to take the alternative to Manan guy.
Speaker 7: Ba Korum a.
Speaker 5: Guy who Oh and of course Shbaka is just killing
Speaker 5: me in this draft. Oh my godness, man.
Speaker 7: Is there a mic in your house? Can you hear that. No, kid,
Speaker 7: this isn't you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna take the guy I think it's going
Speaker 5: to be the Panther's lead back by October, Jonathan Brooks,
Speaker 5: So I feel like there's some win now to it.
Speaker 5: Obviously he's a younger guy, and obviously the two ACL
Speaker 5: tears in the same knee makes him risky. But man, yeah,
Speaker 5: I wanted Monoguy or Korum. That was tough to see
Speaker 5: those two guys peel off the board like it.
Speaker 7: He split like that.
Speaker 1: I was prepared to take Brooks after Manangay went so
Speaker 1: that he was frustrate me. You know what, I already
Speaker 1: have a tight end, but I'm just gonna bet on
Speaker 1: the upside now hours here to take a second one,
Speaker 1: which you know, Tucker Craft isn't quite on that level
Speaker 1: like brock Bowers where it's like it it's not even
Speaker 1: worth taking a second like he's got some injury stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm happy to take another who's got some real upside there.
Speaker 1: I'm more torn on the second pick because again, Manonguy,
Speaker 1: Korum too, Brooks all like would have been considerations for me,
Speaker 1: and they're all gone. I guess I will go with
Speaker 1: I'll take a receiver that I really liked in this
Speaker 1: year's class. Didn't love the landing spot, but I think
Speaker 1: he's a good player. And when you're going for this
Speaker 1: productive struggle, you know approach that we keep repeating, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm happy to just take a player that I liked
Speaker 1: and trust the situation might improve by the time I'm
Speaker 1: ready to compete, and I you know, he's that way
Speaker 1: to server four. It's not like Omark Cooper needs to be,
Speaker 1: you know, an elite player for me to succeed. So
Speaker 1: I'm comfortable with that pick, especially in the tenth round,
Speaker 1: just a first round receiver. It just always feels like
Speaker 1: a good bet. In Dynasty, Xavier Worthy goes next to
Speaker 1: Fits and then Denzel Boston at Chewbacca Fits. What do
Speaker 1: you think about these three receivers in succession.
Speaker 5: Yeah, going for young guys. I totally think this is
Speaker 5: where those rookies should go about Boston and Cooper and Worthy. Look,
Speaker 5: a former first round pick with four to two speed
Speaker 5: who had a season derailed last year by that dislocated
Speaker 5: shoulder that didn't cause him to miss that many games,
Speaker 5: but maybe had him playing at less than one hundred percent.
Speaker 5: Maybe not allowing him to do some of the things
Speaker 5: Andy Reid wanted to do with him. So I'm pretty
Speaker 5: bullish Unworthy because down the stretch in his rookie year
Speaker 5: with Rashid Rice, we saw him really produce as like
Speaker 5: a wide receiver one. So I think there's talent there.
Speaker 5: It's just a matter of what the role is going
Speaker 5: to be. And you know, for a third year player,
Speaker 5: you get a pretty long runway.
Speaker 1: Seth I want. I'll let you make your pick. But
Speaker 1: considering how much of the rookie coverage you did with
Speaker 1: deebro this spring, I'm curious what you think about Omar
Speaker 1: Cooper Denzel Boston kind of going in this range.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's the right type of range for them.
Speaker 3: Honestly, where I was pretty jealous that you got Cooper,
Speaker 3: I didn't need to go back to back jets. But
Speaker 3: at the same time, I think Cooper was, you know,
Speaker 3: a little bit raw of a prospect, but still has
Speaker 3: some dazzling hands. Still went from a guy who could
Speaker 3: stretch the field early in his career and then showed
Speaker 3: more of the route running chops in that latter half
Speaker 3: with Fernando Mendoza under center. I love the worthy pick
Speaker 3: there from Fits. We talked about him on a Redraft
Speaker 3: show earlier this week that I still think he has
Speaker 3: some left. Denzel Boston's fine, Like I'm not as in
Speaker 3: as everyone else is from a prospecting standpoint. I also
Speaker 3: think Casey Concepcion does some of the heavy lifting in
Speaker 3: year one in that monking system. But either way, I
Speaker 3: was happy or not happy to see any of those
Speaker 3: guys go, but ended up, you know, taking the flyer
Speaker 3: here at the ten oh seven on Travis Hunter, a
Speaker 3: guy who in my mind still has a ton of talent.
Speaker 4: Is it going to work out?
Speaker 3: I have no freaking clue, man, But you know, sometimes
Speaker 3: you just got a bet on the talent and see
Speaker 3: what comes through.
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, just even just getting questions
Speaker 1: from Dynasty Manners managers, like on social media or on
Speaker 1: our YouTube live streams, I feel like the questions about
Speaker 1: Travis Hunter sort of died down is almost a little
Speaker 1: like out of sight, out of mind. I like, we're
Speaker 1: all just kind of like, we don't know what this is,
Speaker 1: so it's hard to really dive deep into what he is.
Speaker 1: But I mean, fits in your opinion, like ten oh seven,
Speaker 1: does that feel right for Travis Hunter, given hype coming
Speaker 1: in what we've seen. The uncertainty is that you know,
Speaker 1: too early, too late?
Speaker 7: Just right?
Speaker 1: What do you think?
Speaker 7: No, it's about right, and it's about where he went
Speaker 7: in the startup draft. I'm doing right now.
Speaker 5: It's you just hope that at some point the pendulum
Speaker 5: swings back to him being mostly an offensive player. I
Speaker 5: just I feel like he's got to play snap shares
Speaker 5: of at least sixty five percent weekly for him to
Speaker 5: be some of your comfortable starting in a managed league.
Speaker 5: Now in best Ball, I feel a little bit better
Speaker 5: about grabbing him maybe in the eighth or ninth round,
Speaker 5: but in a managed league where you have to set
Speaker 5: a starting lineup, you really need to see him go
Speaker 5: over that sixty percent seventy percent snap threshold. I just
Speaker 5: don't know, but probably not going to get there this year.
Speaker 5: Who knows in years beyond this?
Speaker 1: Bogman walking through Matthew Golden and Rico Dowdell as your
Speaker 1: two picks you just made.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the Rico Daddle pick was just I
Speaker 2: really dislike a lot of the running backs left on
Speaker 2: the board, right, Like Tony Pollard maybe has a year left,
Speaker 2: and I think his career is probably as a backup
Speaker 2: next season, so Rico Daddle still has a chance to
Speaker 2: be a major part of the Steelers run game here.
Speaker 2: He has familiarity with Mike McCarthy from their days in Dallas,
Speaker 2: so I like that in his upside, although I do
Speaker 2: like Jalen Warren a little bit more so, and Matthew
Speaker 2: Golden is just a pure upside pick as my fifth
Speaker 2: wide receiver. You know, between him and Jayden Reid was
Speaker 2: kind of tough, but at this point as a bench
Speaker 2: wide receiver, give me the upside. That's why I went
Speaker 2: with Colden.
Speaker 1: Seth. You took Quentin Johnston at the eleven O six
Speaker 1: to get another receiver into your room. Some of the
Speaker 1: other names off the board in the last round or so,
Speaker 1: Jake Ferguson, Zach Scharberne, Cortland, Sutton, Jayden Reid, Bryce Young,
Speaker 1: Romadre Stevenson, Josh Downs, Michael Pittman. That brings us to
Speaker 1: that Johnston pick. Seth.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for me, I mean, this is a guy who's
Speaker 4: still twenty four years old.
Speaker 3: It feels like he's been in the league forever because
Speaker 3: he was an early declare right, and while he might
Speaker 3: never have hit the ceiling that a lot of US
Speaker 3: Dynasty managers wanted back when we drafted him a couple
Speaker 3: of seasons ago. He still has taken major steps forward.
Speaker 3: I think this new lead offense here in Los Angeles
Speaker 3: is going to be really good for him. We've seen
Speaker 3: what Mike McDaniel's done with other, you know, speedy, down
Speaker 3: field type of wide receivers, So I think youj will
Speaker 3: fit in nicely here, and it gives me a little
Speaker 3: bit of upside for those flexes.
Speaker 1: I was gonna take Jonah Coleman. He goes to Slingshot.
Speaker 1: Who he's doing to me? What Chewbacca is doing to
Speaker 1: fits Even though he's a couple of picks away, he
Speaker 1: continues to take players that I was planning on taking.
Speaker 1: So Coleman goes there, Tony Pollard to Chewbacca fitth you
Speaker 1: took Jacobe Myers. What are you thinking with that one?
Speaker 5: Just a guy who's going to produce this year, a
Speaker 5: guy who's good enough to be my wide receiver three
Speaker 5: in any given week, and you know he doesn't have
Speaker 5: to be that for me. Pairing him with Parker Washington
Speaker 5: probably not ideal, but he was just I think like
Speaker 5: he was going to give me better production than anyone
Speaker 5: else on the board, with the possible exception of the
Speaker 5: guy I'm going to take now, just to nail down
Speaker 5: the wide receiver position a little bit more and kind
Speaker 5: of played.
Speaker 7: To that win now mode.
Speaker 1: Yeah, before you took Chris God when I took Romeo
Speaker 1: Dobbs and Antonio Williams Dobbs, I just am kind of
Speaker 1: excited about the opportunity, you know, paired with Drake May
Speaker 1: and seeing what's gonna look it's gonna look like in
Speaker 1: New England this year. Antonio Williams tons of target opportunity
Speaker 1: right now. It seems like he's stepping into even as
Speaker 1: a third round rookie. We'll see if Diggs ends up
Speaker 1: signing there and then it looks a little bit different,
Speaker 1: but taking sort of the upside swing with another really
Speaker 1: good young quarterback, so kind of taking these receivers. So
Speaker 1: I think are going to have some real opportunity with
Speaker 1: guys like jayde Daniels and Drake May throwing to them
Speaker 1: with my back to back picks and I only have
Speaker 1: the one running back again when you're doing the productive struggle,
Speaker 1: I don't really care about that because a it'll help
Speaker 1: me kind of get a higher pick in that first
Speaker 1: year and be it's sort of the thing that you
Speaker 1: can draft for the shortest shelf life kind of moving forward.
Speaker 1: So I'd rather lean into be very heavy on receiver
Speaker 1: than running back like most would. Fits took Chris Godwin here, Zeth.
Speaker 1: You took JJ McCarthy, who obviously was one of the
Speaker 1: more interesting talking points in dynasty leagues for this past season.
Speaker 1: Where are you at on McCarthy right now? Just evaluating
Speaker 1: him as not even just as a pick here for
Speaker 1: your specific team, but as a dynasty asset.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's a value dude, if I'm
Speaker 3: being honest with you, Like, what's telling us that Kyler
Speaker 3: Murray is the long term answer in Minnesota even for
Speaker 3: this season? Right There's a guy who usually pretty fraudy
Speaker 3: by the time we get to the back half the
Speaker 3: season at once, call of duty comes out, Like, I
Speaker 3: don't trust Kyler Murray as far as people can throw him,
Speaker 3: and I can't throw him very far, honestly, So I
Speaker 3: just think JJ McCarthy he has a rocket arm. It
Speaker 3: didn't come together last year. It was pretty statistically horrible.
Speaker 3: I get it, but I still just kind of believe
Speaker 3: in the talent, and you could be in way worse
Speaker 3: situations than having koc as your head coach, throwing in
Speaker 3: Justin Jefferson and Jordan Asen out there.
Speaker 1: There's a joke in there somewhere about being able to
Speaker 1: throw Kyler Murray given his size relative to out of
Speaker 1: the NFL quarterbacks. But I'll, you know, stay a buck
Speaker 1: because you're a gentleman. Yes, I'm classy, bob Bit. You
Speaker 1: go George Kittle obviously very much a win now player,
Speaker 1: and then Rashod White as your second pick. Yeah, Rashad White.
Speaker 2: Like I kind of wanted to avoid this Washington situation,
Speaker 2: but he kept falling and falling and falling. I'm not
Speaker 2: big on Crosskey merrit. I'm not really big on Rashad
Speaker 2: White after this season either, but he does have a
Speaker 2: chance to have a lot of catches here. Obviously, we
Speaker 2: don't know who this number two option is going to
Speaker 2: be in Washington, Antonio Williams, maybe maybe Chicken Conquo. Maybe
Speaker 2: they go and get a free agent like Diggs, But
Speaker 2: right now it might be Rashad White as your second
Speaker 2: leading receiver on this team, because he's gonna take all
Speaker 2: of the passing down work, and I think he's a
Speaker 2: threat to JCM to take short yardage carries as well,
Speaker 2: So I think it's.
Speaker 4: A win now move.
Speaker 1: Jeremy Bernard goes to seth So again, kind of leaning
Speaker 1: into the youth there, getting one of your Steelers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, you gotta do what you gotta do out here.
Speaker 3: Continue just to you know, kind of take the same
Speaker 3: approach as you, like, I'll find running backs later on.
Speaker 3: Right I'm kind of out of the position where I
Speaker 3: can really go after some high upside quarterbacks too, so
Speaker 3: I think just continue to build through that wide receiver position.
Speaker 3: Jeremy Bernard again, another guy I don't think who has
Speaker 3: a high high ceiling, but a really productive wide receiver
Speaker 3: last year for Ty Simpson in that Alabama Crimson tid offense.
Speaker 3: I think Big Mike McCarthy is really going like what
Speaker 3: he has out there with him likely running out of
Speaker 3: the slot here in year one.
Speaker 1: I'm up here with back to back picks. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take Nick Singleton like I don't have a second running
Speaker 1: back right now, just again kind of leaning into I
Speaker 1: don't really care if he gets tied of work in
Speaker 1: your one. We're looking forward to hoping he gets that
Speaker 1: opportunity in your two. You know what, I might just
Speaker 1: go back to back Penn State here. I'm going to
Speaker 1: do Singleton and Alan were they were close every rookie
Speaker 1: Bock draft we did. These guys were back to back,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you know what, vise lean into it
Speaker 1: here again. Not sure what the opportunity is going to
Speaker 1: be your one some crowded backfields, but just you know,
Speaker 1: take two swings at this backfield, you know, college backfield
Speaker 1: rather than one here. So Singleton Allen back to back.
Speaker 1: It makes me sick to my stomach as a Maryland fan, honestly,
Speaker 1: but I wanted to get some youth at running back here.
Speaker 4: The dark side.
Speaker 1: Do not feel welcome. Fits your your two picks, Tyron
Speaker 1: and Tracy and Dalton Kincaid.
Speaker 5: Tyrone Tracy is a little bit of run catch upside,
Speaker 5: and we don't know if Cameron Scataboo can hold up
Speaker 5: after what he went through. I mean, that was a
Speaker 5: pretty serious injury last year. So I think Tracy's gonna
Speaker 5: be the solid backup there. And then Kinkaid, a guy
Speaker 5: who's efficiency numbers were through the roof last year. You
Speaker 5: just hope he gets used more with that lingering. I
Speaker 5: think I can't remember if it's PCL or MCL. I
Speaker 5: think PCL injury. Hopefully that allows him he's able to
Speaker 5: play more snaps than he played last year. And by
Speaker 5: the way, the startup we're doing now, I also have
Speaker 5: the Singleton k Tron Allen combolthough they were separated by
Speaker 5: two rounds in our start Oh really yeah.
Speaker 1: Interesting on the rankings they are a little bit more
Speaker 1: separated like on the Expert Our Expert CONSENUSUS rankings pages.
Speaker 1: But yeah, those rookie drafts like they were a lot
Speaker 1: of times pretty close to each other. So bogwhen you
Speaker 1: go Travis Kelcey with the first of your picks, so
Speaker 1: you got the veteran tight end room of Kittle and
Speaker 1: Kelsey and then you're on the clock here with fifteen
Speaker 1: oh two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's like no one on the board that I
Speaker 2: really like here. I'm gonna just take an upside Sean
Speaker 2: on Tesla with my second to last pick here.
Speaker 3: Sorry, buddy, I was more upset about the Shadoor pick. Honestly,
Speaker 3: I was kind of hoping Sanders would roll back to me.
Speaker 1: Where'd you have taken a fourth quarterback? Seth, since you
Speaker 1: have darts darts.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, and again it's kind of like the same
Speaker 3: situation I feel like with JJ McCarthy, Like, I don't
Speaker 3: believe Deshaun Watson is going to be the starter for
Speaker 3: the entire year, right, so I think there is some
Speaker 3: upside there. With Shador Sanders, I'll just grab one of
Speaker 3: my other favorite rookies though, instead, in Elijah Sarrant.
Speaker 1: Great pick.
Speaker 4: I considered Serat as well.
Speaker 2: I was between Sara and Tesla.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like Toad a lot. I think he's getting
Speaker 1: pretty undervalued and started right now. Honestly, I think getting
Speaker 1: the slaves is a pretty good pick. Dylan Sampson is
Speaker 1: a guy that I looked at when I took Singleton
Speaker 1: and Allen, so he almost gets back to me. I
Speaker 1: think that's a nice upside play as well. One pick
Speaker 1: before Seth malchi Field, so we're definitely in kind of
Speaker 1: the youth take a bit swing range of this draft
Speaker 1: for sure. Ady Mitchell goes to fox I think Foxworth
Speaker 1: has made a number of picks that I quite like him.
Speaker 1: Enstling shot that that kind of one o eight one
Speaker 1: oh nine range. They've made some picksteeper into this draft.
Speaker 1: That I've been really did.
Speaker 5: You notice that Foxworth didn't take a quarterback until the
Speaker 5: eighth round and still came out of it with uh
Speaker 5: Kyler Murray and Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 4: Could be yeah, not bad.
Speaker 5: I mean that'll have to be addressed eventually, but for now,
Speaker 5: that's a pretty good setup for.
Speaker 1: This and his receivers and running backs are of course great,
Speaker 1: and he's got Kyle Pitts who was tied into last year, like,
Speaker 1: he's probably feeling pretty good right away.
Speaker 5: For the record, hers, Yes, Britney, Brittany Foxworth.
Speaker 1: Sorry, yes, Brittany. Okay. Chris Ardriguez goes Isaiah Pacheco to
Speaker 1: you fits.
Speaker 5: Yeah, a guy you could play this year like and
Speaker 5: be potentially really valuable if anything happened to Jamiir Gibbs,
Speaker 5: but should have some sort of nominal role even while
Speaker 5: Gibbs is healthy.
Speaker 1: I'm taking Terrence Ferguson here. I know it's my third tight,
Speaker 1: but I just like he's my favorite upside swing at
Speaker 1: any position on the board, and when you're leading into
Speaker 1: this strategy, I'm not really that worried about positions anyway.
Speaker 1: I just want to kind of get the best base
Speaker 1: for my team. As possible. I think there's a world
Speaker 1: where he's a really highly valued dynasty tight end a
Speaker 1: year from now. So I'll take that final pick. Boy,
Speaker 1: there's not a ton that I love.
Speaker 4: Barner.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to take a fourth tight end, you know.
Speaker 1: I'm going to take keithon Mitchell, just strictly on his
Speaker 1: fit dangles offense. Just take a young running back. If
Speaker 1: I had more time, I might have gotten in a
Speaker 1: different direction. Clock was going down. I'm trying to host
Speaker 1: a show. So he's the pick. Oh, fit's really leading
Speaker 1: into the type here.
Speaker 7: I was going to do it, so smart pick.
Speaker 1: He didn't have a third quarterback, so at least gets
Speaker 1: you a backup for year one. Exactly, marshn Lloyd. I
Speaker 1: think that's a nice pick. But Chewbaca in the last
Speaker 1: round here, Seth. Anybody you're hoping gets to you for
Speaker 1: this last.
Speaker 3: Pick, only one man the go out there in Vegas
Speaker 3: wide receiver one the TCU legend. Yeah yeah, I like it, actually, boy,
Speaker 3: I love that back. You know, I could just like
Speaker 3: be like firmly landing on my faces here. I haven't
Speaker 3: ranked inside my top fifty five wide receivers for redraft.
Speaker 4: I just think there's a.
Speaker 3: Chance that that this is koobyaks guy, right, maybe it's not,
Speaker 3: and maybe it's someone completely different, or maybe there's not
Speaker 3: even that player on the team. But they could have
Speaker 3: gone out, they could have got Elijah Surat in in
Speaker 3: you know, the fourth fifth round of the NFL Draft.
Speaker 3: They could have got whoever they wanted, But they said,
Speaker 3: Jack Besh is our guy. We believe in him despite
Speaker 3: you know, some rumored off the field issues there in
Speaker 3: year number one.
Speaker 4: So I think I believe in him too right now.
Speaker 3: So yeah, give me give me Jack Besh here, ex
Speaker 3: wide receiver, maybe the next jsn uh joining a team
Speaker 3: that already has jsn on it.
Speaker 4: Let's go.
Speaker 1: I like that pick a lot. I like the way
Speaker 1: you've ended your team here, Seth Woodie marks Elijah Surat,
Speaker 1: Jack Besh. I think that's a really nice trio to
Speaker 1: to when you get this deep into the draft.
Speaker 3: Curious my age on squad because I don't think I
Speaker 3: had one player and maybe outside of age twenty five,
Speaker 3: which I appreciate for the productive struggle.
Speaker 1: Bogman goes to the different rams tight end here, Max Claer,
Speaker 1: do you like Claire better than Ferguson or did you
Speaker 1: just taken because Ferguson wasn't there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ferguson wasn't there, So I'm just taking upside here. Obviously,
Speaker 2: they ran more thirteen personnel than any other team in
Speaker 2: the league by a wide margin last year, and he
Speaker 2: could be he could be part of that moving forward.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a look at some analysis here
Speaker 1: in our Draft Wizard set up. I am not projected
Speaker 1: to finish very high, but to be fair, my running
Speaker 1: backs are pretty terrible, so I'm not surprised by that
Speaker 1: they are twelfth in this league. That's kind of what
Speaker 1: I was going into expecting considering the strategy I was taking.
Speaker 1: And if I'm going to lean into that early struggle,
Speaker 1: I want to really lean into it. And I think
Speaker 1: the poor running backs will help me get an early
Speaker 1: draft pick next year, which I would be excited about.
Speaker 1: So that's kind of where I stand. I don't I
Speaker 1: don't like picking late in dynasty startups anyway, and kind
Speaker 1: of leaning into that youth let us there. Although Fits
Speaker 1: is one of the experts who likes my draft the best.
Speaker 1: He gave me a B plus, it says something that
Speaker 1: he makes my top five and he only gave me
Speaker 1: an eighty seven. In terms of what the experts thought
Speaker 1: of the draft. Here Debro one of the people who
Speaker 1: thumbs down my draft. Andy Bearns in front of the
Speaker 1: show also not liking mine as well. So some picks
Speaker 1: there they didn't like, but fits you liked my Carnel Tate,
Speaker 1: Omar Cooper, and Antonio Williams picks the best.
Speaker 7: Nice. Yeah, those were fine picks.
Speaker 5: And boy, I didn't even like my own draft, which
Speaker 5: just shows you what happens when I go against type
Speaker 5: and try to pick a win. Now. I hated my draft.
Speaker 5: It felt disjointed and yeah, I'm just not used to
Speaker 5: drafting in that win now. Mode Erickson hated my draft too,
Speaker 5: by the.
Speaker 1: Way, Yeah, I also hated your draft, for whatever it's worth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: is you know when I'm looking at mine? Fits like
Speaker 1: picking towards the end, did you feel like it was tough?
Speaker 1: I mean I felt like we, you and I were
Speaker 1: getting sniped a lot picking at the end here. And
Speaker 1: while I was really happy with all the quarterbacks to
Speaker 1: fall to us in the first you know that one
Speaker 1: two pick range almost every other turn, and you know
Speaker 1: later rounds, I felt like, man like I just missed
Speaker 1: on a couple of guys I wanted. Did you feel
Speaker 1: like that was happening to you to picking the same
Speaker 1: range as me?
Speaker 5: Yes, although we were sort of in uh we had
Speaker 5: different objectives. But it did not help that Chewbacca, sitting
Speaker 5: at the tenth spot one by me, I mean Chewbacca
Speaker 5: took the pick I would have taken in round three,
Speaker 5: round five, round seven, pretty much every odd numbered round
Speaker 5: let's see nine, Yeah, I would have taken korum.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So like a stretch of four straight odd numbered rounds
Speaker 5: where Chewbacca snaked me.
Speaker 7: Go back to Kashik.
Speaker 1: Chewbacca, by the way, I should have said, uh Obi
Speaker 1: Wan Outlaw, Herbs and Cheese were one and two. They
Speaker 1: were the two teams that were unfortunately autographing. So of
Speaker 1: course the system likes that, bagman. You were third, though
Speaker 1: you're the highest of the people actually drafting here. In
Speaker 1: terms of the sort of projected standings rankings of the teams,
Speaker 1: Jay fourth, fox Worth fifth, Bunting sixth, fifth, seventh, Chewbacca eighth,
Speaker 1: myself ninth, moved the chain's tenth sling shot eleventh, and
Speaker 1: we don't have to read twelfth. It's it's not a
Speaker 1: big deal. Let's go, Seth, Seth down there, Seth, what
Speaker 1: do you think about your team looking at it in
Speaker 1: its totality honestly?
Speaker 3: Like like for productive struggle, I think this is the
Speaker 3: right approach, and I think you have to be okay
Speaker 3: with scoring low on the projected standings. Right I knew
Speaker 3: I wasn't gonna have a typically you know, super strong
Speaker 3: start here, But looking back at the draft board now
Speaker 3: I think where I'm like, this is a young squad, right,
Speaker 3: Like I think Jay s EN's legitimately him or Jamo
Speaker 3: are my oldest players. Like I locked down the wide
Speaker 3: receiver position with three young guys. I have a really
Speaker 3: deep tight end corps as well with Tyler Warren, Kenyan
Speaker 3: Sindka gave me the second highest wide receiver ranking, which
Speaker 3: in this productive struggle that's kind of what you want
Speaker 3: to be in is built through wide receivers. Running backs,
Speaker 3: I really only have Judkins and Skataboo and then of
Speaker 3: course picked up Woody Marks later. The quarterback setition doesn't
Speaker 3: look great outside of Dart with Dart Stroud and of
Speaker 3: course JJ McCarthy there, but young guns. You know, we're
Speaker 3: gonna try to figure this thing out and hopefully twenty
Speaker 3: twenty seven, and that rookie draft treats as swell friends?
Speaker 1: Do you have done something differently?
Speaker 7: Seth?
Speaker 2: Would you have taken specifically that second quarterback a little higher?
Speaker 2: If we were redoing this, I.
Speaker 3: Was hoping Fernando Mendoza would come back to me around
Speaker 3: that five, you know, five six mark. That's what I
Speaker 3: was kind of hoping for. And then he didn't. I said, Okay,
Speaker 3: my next target's cam Ward. Let me wait a couple
Speaker 3: of rounds of grab cam Ward, and I just kind
Speaker 3: of played the board a little bit wrong. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I would have hopefully landed on one of those two quarterbacks,
Speaker 3: But there were so many older veterans kind of in
Speaker 3: that range box that I kind of felt hamstrung a
Speaker 3: little bit, so I did I'm just waiting too long.
Speaker 1: So I was gonna ask the same thing about like
Speaker 1: any regrets. The reason I was gonna bring that up
Speaker 1: is one of the cool tabs you can check out
Speaker 1: in the Draft Analyzer is pick analysis, and it will
Speaker 1: show you what your team could have looked like. So,
Speaker 1: for example, my score would have been forty seven points
Speaker 1: higher if I had taken Saquon with that first pick
Speaker 1: in the sixth round instead of Tucker Craft, and then
Speaker 1: I could have gotten Dalton Kincaid later where I had
Speaker 1: taken k Tron Allen, so I could have had Saquon
Speaker 1: and King Kaid as opposed to Craft and Allan. A
Speaker 1: whole bunch of different examples are showing me on my team.
Speaker 1: You can check out on the screen and it's showing
Speaker 1: you for Seth's team, and that shows you kind of
Speaker 1: what your new roster would look like. Although for me,
Speaker 1: I would say, honestly, that's not the area that I
Speaker 1: was looking at most. It's that three four turn where
Speaker 1: I took Carnell Tait and Ladd McConkie. That's where I
Speaker 1: would have done it differently if I wasn't trying to
Speaker 1: commit to this productive struggle that we talked a lot
Speaker 1: about on the episode, where if I was just kind
Speaker 1: of going in with no particular strategy and just wanted
Speaker 1: to see who got to me, I definitely would have
Speaker 1: looked elsewhere, maybe James Cook to get an early anchor
Speaker 1: running back. I probably would have taken McBride with one
Speaker 1: of those two picks. I might have still taken Lad
Speaker 1: because I like him quite a bit.
Speaker 3: I thought that was Honestly, the strength of your draft
Speaker 3: was there in three, four and five form.
Speaker 1: I feel like Carnel Tate like.
Speaker 7: A little aggressive.
Speaker 1: There's that that's the way where he's not going to
Speaker 1: get back to me if I don't take him there.
Speaker 1: But like I I want to lean into the youth
Speaker 1: and and the struggle to pick the rookie. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: so so tit was the interesting one to me where
Speaker 1: it's like, if that was McBride, I think I would
Speaker 1: have felt a lot different about my team. Uh, maybe
Speaker 1: I would have even considered like a Garrett Wilson, a J.
Speaker 1: Brown if I didn't want to go so far into youth.
Speaker 1: I like the McConkie pick, but the other one maybe
Speaker 1: a little differently and uh and yeah, but but it's
Speaker 1: not that I disliked the team. It's just it was
Speaker 1: kind of a tough range to go for the approach
Speaker 1: I wanted. Bagman, I haven't really asked you yet. What
Speaker 1: do you think about your team? Looking at it in full?
Speaker 1: Obviously you're ranked pretty highly here. Any changes you would
Speaker 1: have made.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think the biggest one is probably
Speaker 2: that second pick. Right took te Law. I probably should
Speaker 2: have taken Rock Powers and just saw if te law
Speaker 2: fell back to me, right, uh, I think, But I
Speaker 2: do think getting the quarterbacks bang bang one first and
Speaker 2: second round is what makes my team one of the
Speaker 2: higher ranked ones here because I didn't even take a
Speaker 2: third right, so I'm not getting like extra bench bonus
Speaker 2: points or anything for having a third QB. So having
Speaker 2: those two is the backbone of my team. I think,
Speaker 2: you know, the mix of wide receivers with a little
Speaker 2: bit of youth in pickins and burden with some of
Speaker 2: the older guys, I think is fine. Same thing with
Speaker 2: the running backs and the tight ends. The tight ends
Speaker 2: are okay, right, Like I got one for my dart throw.
Speaker 2: Both my others might retire after the season, definitely retiring
Speaker 2: after the season. Kittle might retire after this season. But
Speaker 2: I do have tight ends that can help me win
Speaker 2: this year for sure. So overall fine for what the
Speaker 2: strategy was not my favorite draft that I've ever done.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Bogman, I think taking Bowers in around
Speaker 1: two and then like even if Trevor goes before your
Speaker 1: next pick, like you still have Purdy or Nicks or Love,
Speaker 1: like there were other quarterback options that like the gap
Speaker 1: between Lawrence and them. Maybe isn't as wise as the
Speaker 1: gap between Bowers and like you knew Loveland, McBride Warnworth
Speaker 1: getting back to you. So if you didn't, if you
Speaker 1: missed on Bowers, you knew that your tight end was
Speaker 1: going to be like at least a tier worse, if
Speaker 1: not multiple tiers.
Speaker 5: I get it.
Speaker 1: I would just say, you know, with like only a
Speaker 1: couple of picks between your your picks only a couple
Speaker 1: of slots, maybe feel a little differently. I mean that's
Speaker 1: me with like picking at the end, I'm like, I
Speaker 1: can't get out of that turn obviously with that at
Speaker 1: least one And like I said, I prefer too, you
Speaker 1: know though I didn't expect to with the strategy. I
Speaker 1: was taken here. Anybody else, oh diddy, anybody else's team
Speaker 1: that you guys are looking at that stands out as
Speaker 1: you thought they did a really nice job here. I
Speaker 1: already talked up Foxworth end sling shot. I thought we're
Speaker 1: both did a very nice job in that eight to
Speaker 1: nine range. And anybody else stand out to you? I
Speaker 1: thought Bunting had a really excellent start to his draft
Speaker 1: as well. Fits anybody stand out to you?
Speaker 5: I mean I got a handed to Chewbacca for snaking
Speaker 5: me repeatedly. And that's the thing, like, when you're in
Speaker 5: a win now draft construction, you should come out of
Speaker 5: the draft feeling like you're one of the two or
Speaker 5: three clear favorites in the field.
Speaker 7: Not only do I not feel that way about my.
Speaker 5: Team, but then I just didn't get obviously my share
Speaker 5: of the twenty five and under talent that you want
Speaker 5: coming out of a startup draft.
Speaker 7: So I think.
Speaker 5: Chewbaca actually probably did a better job on both fronts.
Speaker 5: I think like that's a better team right now and
Speaker 5: probably has a few more Like at the end, he
Speaker 5: kind of stocked up on some good players, plus got
Speaker 5: Colston Loveland in the third round. Yeah, I just feel
Speaker 5: like Chewback had a better draft than I did doing
Speaker 5: the same sort of strategy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, move the Chains had an interesting draft all running
Speaker 1: backs and receivers to start. Still came away with Baker
Speaker 1: Mayfield and Sam Darnold at quarterback and Isaiah Likely and
Speaker 1: Brenton Strange at tight end. And we didn't really mention
Speaker 1: Jay's name. I do quite like the start to see
Speaker 1: Lamar Drake, London, Jeremiah Love, Garrett Wilson, McKay Lemon, Kyron Williams,
Speaker 1: and then if Tyler Shuck takes any of a step forward,
Speaker 1: then you still have the upside of Jordan Addison, Jake
Speaker 1: Ferguson's not a bad tight end. When you're waiting till
Speaker 1: round ten, you know some upside. Late with Dylan Samson,
Speaker 1: Trey Harris, I really liked Jay's team, and we didn't
Speaker 1: really talk about it during the episodes, so I wanted
Speaker 1: to highlight that as well. Bob and anybody stand out
Speaker 1: to you that you particularly liked besides us.
Speaker 7: I'm with FITZI.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think Chewbacca probably did the best job
Speaker 2: of anybody here. Just a holy complete team top the bottom.
Speaker 2: The only pick I didn't like was Marshan Lloyd and
Speaker 2: that was his last pick, so you know, great great
Speaker 2: draft by him. I was looking and move the chains.
Speaker 2: The quarterbacks scared me a little bit. Donald and Baker
Speaker 2: are a little make me a little leery, But I Jay,
Speaker 2: I think did a decent job as well. Like you said,
Speaker 2: if Tyler Shuck, you know, it's that second quarterback spot
Speaker 2: that's really risky. It's Tyler Shucker or Michael Pennix. But
Speaker 2: everything else I feel like I sawid all the way through.
Speaker 1: I was reading somebody else's team when you were talking,
Speaker 1: so I might have misheard you. Did you say Marshawn
Speaker 1: Lynch or did you actually say Marshawan Lloyd said Lloyd. Okay,
Speaker 1: Then I mishard you because at first I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that would be a bad pick if he took more,
Speaker 1: probably a bad pick, vibes pick. It's the very worst
Speaker 1: seth What about you who stands out?
Speaker 4: I think Bunting honestly did a pretty nice job, right.
Speaker 3: I love the drake may call at the one oh
Speaker 3: one coming back and then getting another young quarterback in Fernando,
Speaker 3: Like that's how you do it.
Speaker 4: They're building for the long term. You go get that wide.
Speaker 3: Receiver one and Tederue McMillan, a super young guy as well,
Speaker 3: offensive rookie of the Year in twenty twenty five. Then
Speaker 3: you know, of course he grabbed uh that brock Bauers
Speaker 3: pick right ahead of Bogs. He knew where Bogs was going.
Speaker 4: And then still.
Speaker 3: Continue to get more and more youth wide receivers Jordan
Speaker 3: Tye and Casey concepts. You on come on down and
Speaker 3: like to wait all the way for the sixth round
Speaker 3: to grab a running back and still come out with
Speaker 3: Travis etn or eight chan however you want to freaking
Speaker 3: pronounce it these days, I'm one hundred percent in with it,
Speaker 3: So bunting.
Speaker 4: I love that strategy, and like shout out to Brittany too.
Speaker 3: I think Foxworth did a really nice job in this
Speaker 3: just waiting for the draft to come to her, making
Speaker 3: sure that she didn't go reach for a quarterback. And
Speaker 3: obviously she often make sure she's diving into that twenty
Speaker 3: twenty seven well of all those elite quarterbacks coming in
Speaker 3: to the NFL next year. But if she can play
Speaker 3: her cards right and we were actually playing this out,
Speaker 3: I like that strategy and just you know, hope and
Speaker 3: pray that you know these quarterbacks actually hit next to
Speaker 3: your bogs, we'll see this is a It is a
Speaker 3: really good strategy. If the QBS work out. I think
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray might. I'm a little more in on Kyler
Speaker 3: Murray than you are, not a ton And we know
Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford like, if it's one more year, great, if
Speaker 3: it's two more years great, it's not anything beyond that.
Speaker 3: So really got a chance to win this year if
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray clicks.
Speaker 1: There might be like technically better value picks somewhere on
Speaker 1: this board. I haven't said sat down and looked at
Speaker 1: literally all of them. I do think my favorite, just
Speaker 1: in a vacuum you're telling me you got this guy
Speaker 1: in this round pick is actually Bowers in round three.
Speaker 1: I think there's a chance that around Bowers is like
Speaker 1: a no doubt first round player, even a non tight
Speaker 1: end premium. I think like he could maybe be the
Speaker 1: tight end version of what JSN was last year for
Speaker 1: Clint Kubiak. Now if he gets any kind of quarterback play,
Speaker 1: whether that's Mendoza or Cousins, Like I think Bowers, even early,
Speaker 1: like he was, what the twenty fifth pick here, that's
Speaker 1: still pretty early. I think even as early as he was,
Speaker 1: he might make this look foolish how long he lasted
Speaker 1: this time next year.
Speaker 5: He went nineteenth overall in the startup I'm doing right now,
Speaker 5: and I thought that was really good value.
Speaker 7: Twenty fifth is crazy.
Speaker 1: I agree that looks really excellent here. All right, I'll
Speaker 1: go around the horn for any just kind of final
Speaker 1: thoughts about the exercise before you get out. If you're
Speaker 1: a seth, I'll start with you. Any kind of final
Speaker 1: wrap up thoughts, any takeaways you have from the experience.
Speaker 1: What are you thinking here at the end?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think when it comes to leaning into the
Speaker 3: use side of dynasty startups, like, don't be afraid to
Speaker 3: project out a little bit, right, That's kind of what
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to do. You're gonna have to take
Speaker 3: some upside swings, and it's gonna be uncomfortable at times.
Speaker 3: You're gonna put yourself in a hole potentially at different positions.
Speaker 4: You saw it here.
Speaker 3: I didn't get the quarterback too I wanted because I
Speaker 3: was targeting those young guys. I didn't get the RB
Speaker 3: three I was looking for either, But just being comfortable
Speaker 3: with being uncomfortable would be my biggest takeaway here, specifically
Speaker 3: when kind of leaning into that youthful.
Speaker 4: Build worm Bogman.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this was a fun draft. I think
Speaker 2: everybody did a pretty solid job through and through here.
Speaker 2: Even the auto drafters had pretty good teams here. I
Speaker 2: will say I think probably a little more urgency on
Speaker 2: quarterbacks in a non mock in a real draft, but
Speaker 2: this was everyone did a really good job here, and
Speaker 2: these teams are pretty evenly split up.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, no real bad teams. I would say there was
Speaker 1: there wasn't anybody that, Like my eyebrows kept raising, like
Speaker 1: what is this person thinking? Fits final thoughts.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm not cut out to be a win now
Speaker 7: drafter in Dynasty.
Speaker 5: So if it's even if I get to be ninety
Speaker 5: eight and do a startup at age ninety eight, I'm
Speaker 5: gonna draft it like I'm gonna live to be one
Speaker 5: hundred and seven.
Speaker 1: So I love it, respect it. It's what I typically
Speaker 1: do too. I don't feel like I did a very
Speaker 1: good job of it in this particular draft, but normally
Speaker 1: I'm aligned with Fits on that, and I did. I
Speaker 1: get uncomfortable. I don't like the pressure of if man,
Speaker 1: if I don't win in the first two years, then
Speaker 1: I've like really set myself back, and I know nobody
Speaker 1: quite leaned so far into it to go that direction.
Speaker 1: I'm even like, obviously Bogwin like Alan will be good
Speaker 1: for a number of years, Ward's be good for number
Speaker 1: You have Luther, Burd and Shade, then Henderson. Even though
Speaker 1: you're win now, you have some youth, So it's not
Speaker 1: like the insane amount of pressure. But I just I
Speaker 1: get uneasy when it's when I kind of put that
Speaker 1: pressure on the wind now, So I've totally with you there. Fits. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I often will have an approach of I want to
Speaker 1: lean into the good offensive environments and quarterbacks and play callers.
Speaker 1: I trust I didn't quite do as good a job
Speaker 1: of that in this particular round. I started off with
Speaker 1: you know, Cincia in Chicago, that's pretty good, but like Tennessee, Arizona,
Speaker 1: you know, Seattle without Clint Kobiak Miami. So I didn't
Speaker 1: totally do that the way I normally do.
Speaker 2: What the good news is if you're in productive struggle,
Speaker 2: those coaches can easily change yeah real fast.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, like Omar Cooper on the Jets, right like,
Speaker 1: hopefully that's a different looking offensive environment year from now,
Speaker 1: and he has our fanning throwing to him, and you
Speaker 1: know Davis Webb is his head coach or something. So yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's it's something I usually keep in mind, and
Speaker 1: I didn't do as much of this time. But that
Speaker 1: was an interesting takeaway. So think we'll go ahead and
Speaker 1: wrap things up there right about an hour. I really
Speaker 1: appreciate all the listeners who participated in this draft. We
Speaker 1: started a little bit late, so I apologize to the
Speaker 1: guys who signed up and then had to auto draft.
Speaker 1: That's our fault. We started a little late, so don't
Speaker 1: go knock them and discord. They usually do a great
Speaker 1: job with us. But thank you everybody for signing up
Speaker 1: to participate and being a part of today's episode. Thank
Speaker 1: you of course to Fitz, Bogman and Seth and just
Speaker 1: you know we're happy to have you. Well, we'll see
Speaker 1: again next time, and good luck because we are kind
Speaker 1: of in the season of startup drafts might actually be
Speaker 1: happening for real for you now, so hopefully this helped.
Speaker 1: And good luck in any you have. We'll see you
Speaker 1: next time. Thanks for listening to the Fantasy Pros Dynasty
