Man, that's right, Greggy.

Like you you have the ring. 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:38.280 I've had it since March. She showed it to me, 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.320 She's like, hey, I want this. I went back and 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:42.960 got it. So I was just waiting for the perfect opportunity. 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:46.320 And it came five year anniversary. I was like, alright, 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.639 why not do it now, Like there's no reason to 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:50.760 delay the inevitable, right, Like, if you're gonna do it, 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:55.080 dinna do it. And and she was hysterically and happy 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:57.919 and call her parents right away and stuff, and yes, 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.640 Saturday was a jam Pag day. Like I woke up early. 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:03.960 I had to go get like flowers for her mom, 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:06.440 like a bottle of liquor for her dad. It's like 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.520 Holess tradition. I had to go ask. And then once 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:11.760 I got there, they're like why are you here? They 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:15.079 were super confused, And even after I did it, they're like, 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:17.840 we didn't think young people would do this anymore, Like 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.440 they just really didn't expect it. So it was a 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:23.160 jam Pag day. Asked them, went out to the city 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:26.240 to flex draft with you, went back home, pulled off 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:29.320 the proposal, and then went out to eat and dancing celebration. 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.519 It was It was a good weekends. The celebration is 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:35.200 great weekend. That's awesome, Um Craig, everyone in the chat, 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:41.800 watch everyone listening who are engaged. Frankie Stanfell.

We're gonna make all 0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.680 the food ourselves. What are you hating for? What do 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:02.480 you need? Four On the show today, we're gonna go 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.040 over the lesser part of Frank's dag, which is the 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.400 flex leage draft. We're gonna go over where the experts 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:09.160 are taking certain players. We're gonna hit on all the 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:11.720 major training camp news that are has broken today and 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.480 has broken over the weekend. Frank, Um, anything from week 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:16.360 one of the preseason. I'm gonna give you an opportunity 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.520 to opine on because of course you weren't here last week, 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:20.640 so you missed obviously all of that. I know you 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:22.599 were staying abreast, um, but I want to give an 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:24.600 opportunity to talk about any of that and then cut 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:26.960 up a little bit later on. We too, much like Corey, 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.240 have a G S T league, and we will make 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:32.280 our selections. Frank and I are Sharon team TVFF. Who 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.040 would want a championship last ye if it wasn't for 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:38.560 the Jovis Landry. Um. But you know we're we're back 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:40.320 for an action. I said, this is the better league. 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.520 I was looking at the talent that was on that league. Yeah, 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.640 I mean we're a part of it. This is the 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.280 Superstar League. Yeah, for sure. So we're gonna do that. 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.000 We'll go from twelve two one, just like Corey did. 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.320 We'll do that a little bit later on in the program, Uh, Frankie, 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:57.599 before we begin. What's today's stand of the day. Yeah. 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.200 So I tweeted this out over the weekend. Drink that 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.200 through the first nine weeks of the season, when Dak 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:06.160 Prescott had Ezekiel Elliott in the lineup with him, he 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.919 was the QB four. At that point, he was outscoring 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:12.440 Tom Brady and Cam Newton guys who we are drafting, 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:14.880 you know, as top three, top four quarterbacks. Maybe you 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:18.479 know rounds and six seven, you're getting Dak Prescott for nothing. 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:20.920 Right now. He goes undrafted in a lot of draft 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.120 you know, sixteen team drafts. We just did one in 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.760 this past week, and the Flex draft, Dak Prescott went undrafted. 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.400 I feel like he's being a little bit underappreciated this year. 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.560 I think he's a fine QB two if you're playing 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:32.720 a super flex league, and even if not, you know, 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:34.680 we'll talk more about this once we get into like 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.800 position strategy. But something that I'm going to do more 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:40.280 of this year is I'm gonna take a veteran and 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.720 I'm gonna pair him with like a young upside quarterback 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:44.680 and then just kind of like play the matchups and 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.080 hope that one of those guys either breaks out or 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.039 you know, you get that safe floor of a veteran 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.600 and then you have that breakout ability from you know, 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.160 the young upside quarterback. And I do think that Dak 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.280 Prescott is in that category. So you know, if you 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.800 can end up with Dak and like Philip Rivers in 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:00.680 a super flex league or been in a one QB 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:04.040 League and play the matchups. It's a great way to go, Greg, Yeah, 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:05.720 I think so too. We talked about that a lot 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.960 of race summerly last week. Marcus Mariota, Dak Prescott, two 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:12.000 guys going essentially undrafted now that are not costing you 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:16.800 anything to be your starting quarterbacks. Yeah. I know a 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.200 lot of people are worried about Dak Prescott's weapons. He 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:21.720 doesn't have Jason Witten anymore than two years ago either, 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:25.200 But like, why isn't why is does Bryant not signed 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.400 on his team right now? Like he wasn't great last year? 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:29.279 And this is my point, I'm agreeing with him. Yeah. 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:31.520 So it's like it kind of goes to what we 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.720 said about Stafford after Calvin Johnson retired. And don't get 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.720 me wrong, Calvin Johnson was amazing, but we all had 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:39.600 the suspicion and I think it kind of came true 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:43.920 that once Calvin Johnson retired, Stafford got better. It was 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:46.839 additioned by subtraction because he didn't have to just zone 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.320 in on Calvin anymore. He can, you know, really read 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:51.800 what defenses are giving to him and you know, go 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:53.920 through his progressions. He doesn't just have to zone in 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:57.039 on one guy. I think that's similar to Dez Bryant. 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.400 And I know I feel like the Cowboys management has 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.360 come out and said us that they think Dak Prescott 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:03.600 will be better this year because Dez Bryant isn't on 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:05.560 the team. You don't have to just force feed one 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.240 receiver anymore. And they have Alan Hearns, who I think 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:11.160 is a competent NFL receiver, Michael Gallup, a guy who 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:13.840 scored a touchdown in the first week of the preseason, 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:15.680 looks pretty good so far. And then they have a 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:18.360 few young tight ends. Ezekiel Elliott is gonna catch the 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.600 ball out of the backfield. He has a safety blanket 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:22.280 in Cole Beasley. So I think it's all there for 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:25.080 Dak Prescott, you know, to be serviceable once again, and 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:26.960 I think he's being underappreciated. Listen. I think what you're 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:30.360 gonna see in teams a lot of rely on, rely 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:34.320 on Ezekiel Elliott, and you know, major contributions with Cole Beasley, 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.520 who I still like a little bit from Aunt Hearns, 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:37.920 a little bit from Michael Gallup, a little bit from 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.600 Terrence Williams when he gets healthy. That's it, Like I 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.960 I don't know that any wide receiver on Dallas will 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.920 be worth owning. Outside Cole Beasley, I think we're gonna 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:51.320 be a big step from him. But Dak Prescott. I 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:54.080 believe you see him running more, you'll see him being 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.320 more accurate. I spect I see you from Dak Prescott. 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:58.560 That's exactly a too. We don't. I don't think we 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:01.320 talk enough about the rushing production that you get from Dak, 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:04.560 and well, it's hard to predict rushing touchdowns. We saw 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.800 it with guys like Kirk Cousins, the same system year 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:08.440 in and year out, he would score at least four 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.640 rushing touchdowns every single year. I think Dak Prescott's the same. 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:13.880 Once they get near that goal line, inside the tan, 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:16.800 inside the five, you know they're gonna call some like 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:19.000 quarterback draw players where he runs it in like he's 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:21.880 gonna have opportunities to score some rushing touchdowns. Plus he 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.240 can make plays with his legs once he gets outside 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:26.080 the pocket. I think that only helps you know his 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:29.320 floor for fantasy purposes as well. Eight four four eight 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.360 four three six eight seven four four eight four three 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.360 six eight seven nine. Before we move on to our 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:36.520 flexible recap, and the training camp notes. I want to 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:38.199 get to you on the phone live. Let's start with 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:43.400 p J from Columbia. What's going on, PJ? What's going on? Fellers? 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.720 How's it going? Man? It's not good? Man. I got 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:49.360 a question to ask, yep. When you have a big 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:52.439 piece of the offense returning like a Devin Clip due 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:55.800 to surrounding pieces, do they drop down or do they 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.240 do you think their numbers going to increase like a 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.920 like a day in the feeling? Would they have a 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:04.760 positive him or them? Or would they have a negative 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:06.880 effect on those two receivers. So I think it's I 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:09.040 think it's a great question right when? And I think 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:11.319 we looked to Pittsburgh for that answer, because when you 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.920 have this massive piece returning or just an adding a 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:16.319 massive piece to the offense, what are the guys that 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.440 stood out last year? Right? What about the big pieces 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:22.080 feeling and digs? Are they affected at all by Dalvin 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:24.960 Cook returning from injury? I would say no, I think 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:27.480 they're adequately ranked where they're being drafted right now, which 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:30.600 I've seen them go consistently in the third round. Now, uh, 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:32.400 and look if you look at what the running backs 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.800 did last year, between Ottavius Murray and Jack McKinnon, if 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:37.240 you just combine those numbers and expect that kind of 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:40.319 production out of Dalvin Cook, Like, Latavius Murray was a 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:42.840 very serviceable running back last year, and so was Jerick 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.520 McKinnon in his role. So if Dalvin Cook really just 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.080 takes over what both of those guys did last season, 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.120 I still think that there's enough to go around for 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:52.920 everybody in this offense. The reason I've kind of shied 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:56.280 away from drafting those Vikings wide receivers in the third 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.280 round to this point is you don't really know who's 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.800 going to be the to guy for her. Cousins will 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:06.120 watch preseason and yes, he threw a touchdown to Stefon Diggs. 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:08.680 He threw a nice bomb down the field which Stefon 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:10.480 Diggs caught, and in the next play he threw a 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:12.640 quick slant and scored the touchdowns. But I don't know 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.679 that we know right now, weekend and week out, who 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:17.240 is going to be the go to guy in this 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:19.880 offense outside of maybe Kyle Rudolph. I think he might 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:21.640 be the most consistent guy in the past game. It 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:23.839 might be one week Stefon Diggs has a big game. 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.199 It might be one week Adam Feeland has a big game. 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:28.680 But to answer the question, I don't think Dalvin cook 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.880 returning affects the passing game whatsoever. Absolutely love Kyle Rudolph 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:33.400 and I listened. I like both Diggs and I like 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.200 feeling too, But I agree Dalvin Cook doesn't do anything. 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:38.920 Jered McKinnon was service will. Certainly Letabas Murray was service 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.320 will as well. UM. So no, I don't think Dalvin 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:45.079 Cook's return um hurts the value of a feeling or 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.679 a Stefon Diggs. Let's continue on the phone lines and 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:52.080 let's go to Shawn in New York. What's going on? Shanni? Hey, guys, 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:56.439 what's up? What's happ what's happened? What's your question? It's 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:59.720 got some fantasy advice I need from, like you guys 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:03.520 on I'm in league pretty deep, so I know there's 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:06.240 a lot of running back committees this year. Uh, there's 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.559 only like four or five bell cout running back. Is 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:12.040 there any running back I should target? Uh that is 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:13.920 not in the first round? Should I? I know it 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:16.440 depends on where I draft. Um, But so I take 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:19.240 a high wine receiver first and then go, you know, 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:23.080 maybe a Royce Freeman and Ronald Jones in the second round. 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.360 So you're not gonna take those guys in the second round. 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:27.880 Those are more those are picks you're gonna talk about 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:30.559 the fourth I would say, I mean in the sixteen 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:32.720 team league, they might push into the third, like Royce 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:36.600 Freeman might push into the third. But I mean, I'm 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.360 still thinking, do you know what your draft pick is yet? 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:44.760 I think I'm twelve, alright, so twelve out of sixteen. Look, 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:48.360 I'll say this, if one of Melvin Gordon, Kareem Hunt, 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:50.719 Dalvin Cook, one of those who I expect to be 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:54.320 workhorse running backs, even Leonard for Net in that category, Um, 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:56.280 if one of those guys followed you a twelve, I 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.559 have no problem taking one of those, and you really 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.480 kind of secure your your bell cow running back. But again, 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:05.520 because what's up, Corey. Corey Parson was telling me that 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.559 if I'm the you know, pick one through eight, that 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:11.440 he would take a running back, but eight or sixteen 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:13.560 in the second half of the first round, he would 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:16.319 take a high end receiver for production, and then I 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.680 could go get a Freeman Jones in the second round. 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.800 That that's why I'm looking forward for some different, you know, perspectives. 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:24.040 It's interesting that you gotts differ on that. Yeah, we're 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.120 giving the different perspective because I agree with Frank and 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:28.040 that you're gonna take the best player available. Like I know, 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:30.319 it's a sixteen team draft. It depends on format too, 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:36.439 is the standard or PPR standard nor running back. I 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:38.319 don't care where you're drafting. You guys think the running back. 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:40.800 We were in the non listen and this is a 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:42.360 good chance for us to get into our draft over 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:44.800 the weekend, Frank, because we were in a non PPR draft. 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.719 And as I pull up the draft board here over 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:50.640 the first twelve picks, ten of them were running backs. 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:52.679 And then you go over the next round, there are 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.600 only one, three, four or five six. The next six 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.480 are running backs also, so the first twenty four picks, 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:01.520 sixteen of twenty four we're running backs. Yeah, and a 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:03.439 lot of guys got push up the board and it 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:06.000 puts a lot of wide receiver value down the board. 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.040 So you take that work course running back. I picked 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:10.520 twelve regardless of who it is. I'll say this if 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.480 Dalvin Cook, Leonard Fournett, if that whole group is gone, 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:16.520 Melvin Gordon Kareem Hunt. I'm not going to like pull 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:20.000 DeVante Freeman or Jordan Howard into the first round there, 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.679 I picked twelve, Like that is a no no. So 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.000 I got to disagree with you. In the sixteen team draft, 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:27.640 you're not gonna get your shot most likely at DeVante 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.679 Freeman or Jordan Howard. You're gonna have to probably take 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:32.640 them and then and I think I would in the 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:36.800 sixteen team format because the wide receiver that you're gonna 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:40.800 miss out on, who is Udell Beckham DeAndre Hopkins Potentially 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.760 to pull up a DeVante Freeman or Jordan Howard instead, 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:45.360 you'll get a guy like an E. J. Green or 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:48.000 Stefon Diggs. I'd rather do that than have to worry 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:49.720 about the running back and I get back that might 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:53.080 be Derrick Henry Dejerrick McKinnon. If everyone is going running 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:55.040 back heavy, that means someone's gonna get pushed out on 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.360 the board, like we're gonna talk about Michael Floorio had 0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:00.760 picked twelve. He ended up taking Odell Beckham and DeAndre Hopkins. 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.480 I think if I'm there and those workhorses we mentioned 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:05.320 are already gone, I'm going to take one of those 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:08.040 wide receivers, and then in round two in a sixteen 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.760 team draft, I'm hoping I could get one of Joe 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:14.600 Mixon somebody like that. Um, but in early that didn't 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:16.400 even happen like it went in the middle of the 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:18.439 second round in the twelve team draft, So so it's 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:22.040 gonna be really close. No. I just I myself wouldn't 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:24.200 be able to pull Jordan Howard or DeVante Freeman up 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:26.560 the board that far just because of position scarcity. I'm 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:29.200 still gonna take what I think is Odell Beckham or 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:31.160 DeAndre Hopkins that to me, would be the best player 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:33.320 on the board at that point. I can't just look 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:36.040 at position scarcity that far in a sixteen team leage. 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:37.600 I'm gonna take the best player available. When we were 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.760 when we walked out of this draft on Saturday afternoon, 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.000 to us the biggest take she said, I don't want 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:45.480 words in fresh map, but to me the biggest takeaways, 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:47.200 I was like, Wow, I get it to a non PPR, 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:50.360 but these running backs are absolutely flying off the board, 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.800 especially with Darius Guys' injury. You knock him off a peg. 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:56.680 And to see a guy like Joe Mixon go right 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:58.720 in the middle of the second round, just like twelve 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.120 team league. I was stunt by that, like I understood 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.120 um the person Dane actually and Antonio Brown from the 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:05.680 first so he needed a running back and the running 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:07.720 backs were going quickly. I was shocked to see him 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.280 go where he was. I was shocked to see uh 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:13.240 McCoy go in the second round after the trouble that 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:17.120 he's had. These running backs are absolutely flying off the boards. 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.000 J Ji he goes in the middle of the third. 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.120 Lamar Miller goes in the middle of the third, Like 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:24.480 what is going on? And I took a running back. 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:26.560 I had six pick. I took Sae Kwan Barkley in 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:28.760 the first round, and then I just followed my board 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:30.680 and that led me to Davante Adams and it led 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:32.640 me to te Why Hillton, which is a great start. 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:36.800 I'm thrilled with that. But unfortunately, the wide receivers throughout 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:38.880 this draft were the ones that had the value. So 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:41.200 I got three players that I have marked as a 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:43.840 wide receiver one and Adams, Hilton and Larry FitzGeralds. I 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.520 think my twelfth ran wide receiver. And because of that, 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:49.200 my third running back, unfortunately is whoever the Colt start 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:52.000 and now he behinds are Jordan Wilkins penning Marlon Mack's injury. 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.240 That's where I struggle. I'm like, wow, I just keep 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:57.480 taking value and then I wind up with another third 0:15:57.560 --> 0:15:59.960 running back. Yeah, and I kind of did the oppos 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:01.840 it because I just took a bunch of running backs 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:03.520 and I really wanted to hoard them here in this 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:05.680 non PPR format. I saw the way that they were 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.320 flying off the board, and you know, both times, really 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:10.640 the second in the third round, I felt like that 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:13.040 was the end of a tier coming. So I took 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:15.000 I took Karee Hunt in the first round to pick eight, 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:16.840 and then I took Jordan Howard in the second, and 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:19.640 then Alex Collins there in the third. I will say 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:22.200 I do somewhat regret not taking a wide receiver in 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:25.320 the second round. I had my choice of Keenan, Allen, Davante, Adams, 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:27.600 A J. Green. I think I was able to piece 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:29.680 together wide receivers. I just took a lot of high 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:33.520 upside shots. But something I'll continuously say, especially non PPR, 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:37.080 I think it's easier to find breakout wide receivers on 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.840 the waiver wire rather than finding those workhorse running backs, 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:42.280 which I do consider guys like Kareem Hunt, Jordan Howard 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:44.280 and to some extent, Alex Collin. And that's why I 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:47.400 really regretted my decision taking Ladder Fitzgerald in the fifth round. 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:48.920 The thing is, I thought the value of the fifth 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:51.120 was incredible. It was, and I would have taken him 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:52.800 two picks later if he was still available, and Jane 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:54.240 was gonna take him one pick after me, and I 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:56.400 thought there was no way Fitzgerald should be there. And 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:57.960 I looked at my board and there were a ton 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:00.360 of wide receivers that could have had my my wide 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:01.960 receiver three that I would have been thrilled it app 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.280 and then just two or three running backs really really 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:08.000 wanted by RB three. And ultimately, even though my brains 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.359 had take this running back, I could not leave the 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:12.919 value on the board with Larry Fitzgerald. And that's why 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.280 ultimately took was the right decision. I don't know, but 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:18.160 we'll figure it out more from this draft.

This reminded 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:28.000 me of what I did over the weekend at Flex Draft, which, 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.720 by the way, great time. Jake a fantastic job of 0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:33.159 setting everything up and it was awesome, but it was 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:36.000 very serious in that room, Frank like, way too serious. 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:38.560 It's the draft started at at twelve thirty Eastern and 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:40.600 we're sitting there. Everyone's just like all their computers, like 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:44.119 all stoic and very very serious, and I was like, 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:47.680 what he's going on? So I started playing some music 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:49.560 and I some people laughed. So people give me some 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:53.800
