Thanks to everyone who entered. 18 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 1: All right, let's move over to the mock draft. Hi, Greg, 19 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: thanks for joining us on the show again. Hey Bobby, 20 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,759 Speaker 1: how you doing. I'm I'm glad to be here. I'm 21 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 1: doing great. I tell you what, this is the best 22 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: week of the year sports wise, because everybody's doing a 23 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 1: draft this weekend. We're several drafts this weekend. I've got 24 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: two myself. I've got an auction later tonight, and then 25 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: I have one more draft, a fourteen team keeper tomorrow. 26 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm writing the thick of it. It's it's 27 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: a good, good time to be drafting fantasy all the time. Man, 28 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: those deep keeper leagues are awesome, and I love myself 29 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: an auction draft. I wish maybe next year we'll have 30 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: to do an auction mock. That might be now that 31 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: would take too long. Well, we'll figure out a way 32 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: to talk about that a little more, because auction drafts 33 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: need to happen more often, and I'm sure a lot 34 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: of people listening are one to hear about that. But 35 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: today we're going to be doing a two quarterback mock 36 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: draft because we had a couple of listeners asked for it, 37 00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: and I know a lot of people are doing these 38 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: two Q leagues. Now. I like them myself, and obviously 39 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: you do, since you you know you're with two qbes 40 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: dot com. Why don't you tell us a little bit 41 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: about your site, Craig, Yeah, I mean, I believe in 42 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: the other writers and owners at the site believe that 43 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: two quarterback leagues are the future of fantasy football. We've 44 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: long played in formats where you know, every starting running 45 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: back gets drafted, every you know, key starting wide receiver 46 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: gets drafted. Why shouldn't that be the case with quarterbacks 47 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: as well, especially in an era where passing is so prevalent, 48 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: where you know, the quarterback position is as deep as 49 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: it's ever been with regards to fantasy. If you play 50 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: in a one quarterback league, there are a lot of 51 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,839 Speaker 1: usable and very good quarterbacks sometimes that just don't even 52 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,239 Speaker 1: get drafted or used on a regular basis, and that's 53 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: a travesty in my mind. I feel like these guys 54 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: should matter in fantasy football, and so with that in 55 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: mind myself, Sal Stephanieli, Joshua Lake, we started two qbes 56 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: dot com. You gotta spell that out, two qbs and 57 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: it's a site dedicated to the two quarterback format. We 58 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: also touch on super flex, which is you know, instead 59 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: of having two quarterbacks, you have one quarterback and then 60 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: a generic flex spot where you can also start a QB. 61 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: They generally play out like two QB leagues, but the 62 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: super flex position affords a little bit more flexibility for 63 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: deeper formats like the one we're drafting today, like this 64 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: twelve team league, whereas you know, there are thirty six 65 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks that are going to need to be drafted 66 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: in a two QB twelve team league, you know, for 67 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: each team to have two quarterbacks and one backup. But 68 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: there are only thirty two starting quarterbacks in the NFL, right, 69 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: So the super flex spot allows you to play around 70 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: with that, and you know, give you a little bit 71 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: of a safety net if you're not quite ready to 72 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: dip your toes into the full on two QB experience. 73 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: But yeah, come check out the site. We'd really appreciate it. 74 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: We got a lot of great writers and a lot 75 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: of great content, all sorts of different two QB and 76 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: super flex strategy from dynasty to redraft. So ye, give us, 77 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: give us a look. Whoever built the first standard league, 78 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: I don't understand why they picked two running backs in 79 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: just one quarterback, and understand for deeper formats that makes sense, 80 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: but you know, the super flex makes all the sense 81 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: in the world. Our podcast league has eighteen teams like 82 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: the one you mentioned in and we're also using these 83 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: super flex I mean, sure there are going to be 84 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: some weeks where six teams running by, so you've only 85 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: got twenty six quarterbacks, but you know that adds to 86 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: the strategy, and I agree. I think it's the future 87 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: of fantasy football. I think it'll be standard within five years. 88 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: So if you guys who are listening haven't played in 89 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 1: the league like this, jump into one. It's not too late. 90 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: Go find yourself a two QB league, even if it's just, 91 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: you know, a Yahoo public league, an ESPN public league, 92 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: just to get your feet wet and figure out what's 93 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 1: going on, because there's a lot of interesting strategy that 94 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: comes with it. And that's what we're gonna break down today. 95 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: So Greg and I and I'm pursuing producer JP all 96 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: have Draft Wizard Open Draft wizardors our tool where you 97 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: can draft against the experts. You don't have to go 98 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: into a Yahoo mock draft or an ESPM mock draft 99 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: and take forty five minutes and draft against a bunch 100 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: of twelve year olds who were talking trash and taking 101 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: Tim Tebow first overall. Instead, you can do a mock 102 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: draft in what five seven minutes and against the experts, 103 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: so you can get a real good feel for your 104 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: draft slot, all kinds of different league settings, and then 105 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: it grades you at the end. It's brilliant. It's it's 106 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: my favorite tool that we have on the site. If 107 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: you haven't used it, there's a quick three minute instructional video. 108 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 1: You probably won't need it, though. So what we're gonna do. 109 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: If you're listening, go ahead and stop the podcast because 110 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: I'm going to share the league settings with you. You 111 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: can all follow along, you can all compete against your 112 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: friends later because it's going to give us a grade 113 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: at the end. So what we're doing, twelve team league. 114 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: We're all drafting eighth in the draft order. We've got 115 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: two quarterbacks, two running backs, three wide receivers, one tight end, 116 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: one flex that's wide receiver, running back, tight end, and 117 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: then four bench spots. Greg, are you ready to go? 118 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: I sure am. All right, let's start our mock draft. 119 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 1: And who are you looking at here in the first round? Well, 120 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: we have something interesting happen here in my particular mock 121 00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: where five or now let's see how many yeah, five 122 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: of the first seven picks or quarterbacks. And this is 123 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: not uncommon in a twelve team two QB league because 124 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: of that fact we talked about earlier, where you know, 125 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: there aren't quite enough starting quarterbacks to go around. Some 126 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: people feel the need to get those those top qbs 127 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: right away and just lock those positions down. So the 128 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: top five guys are all off the board, plus Antonio 129 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: Brown and Odell Beckham, which leaves me Julio Jones at 130 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 1: number eight. And that feels like a gift from the gods. 131 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: He is my pig. That's great. In standard leagues, I'm 132 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: taking Julio Jones first overall, even over Antonio Brown. Yeah, 133 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: he's the guy who should go in the top three 134 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: or top five depending like almost regardless of format. Now 135 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: in these two QB leagues, are you taking a quarterback 136 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: first overall? And who is it? I'm not. No, I'm 137 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: a late round quarterback advocate, not just in two QB leagues, 138 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: but basically across all of fantasy football. And you know 139 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: it doesn't hold quite as much water in a two 140 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: QB league. You can definitely win your draft or win 141 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 1: your league by drafting quarterbacks, you know, right from the 142 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: first pick. But I've found that in general, it's harder 143 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: to replace the elite wide receivers and the elite running 144 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: backs than it is to replace for elite quarterbacks. So 145 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: I tend to shy away from quarterback drafting in those 146 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: first couple rounds, even though I haven't made my first pick. Here, 147 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: I'll tell you guys my strategy in these two QB leagues. 148 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: If you've got a flex, everyone's taking quarterbacks early and 149 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: all these great running backs slip. If you do this 150 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: the right way, you can get three great running backs 151 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: in the first four rounds and then everyone else is starting. 152 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: You know the theoretics, which he's a fine fantasy player, 153 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: but if you can get Eddie Lacy as your third 154 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: running back, that is a huge upgrade over what other 155 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: people haven't running back. So that's my plan. With that 156 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: being said, I would like to get one of the 157 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: top quarterbacks or early. Drew Brees is still on the 158 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: board for me. There were four quarterbacks taken. Aaron Rodgers 159 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: went with a second pick, and he was the first 160 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: quarterback taken. I don't think Drew Brees is gonna make 161 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: it around to me. So what I'm gonna do? You 162 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: guys all know, like the pick predictor, and I'm going 163 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: to click on this tool pick predictor here, and it 164 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: tells me what the chances are that the player is 165 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: going to be picked before my next selection. It says 166 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: Drew Brees ninety six percent chance he'll be picked before 167 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: I come back up. So I'm not taking any chances. 168 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: Drew Brees is extremely consistent. I know he's going to 169 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: be a top producer unless he gets hurt. But he's 170 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: very durable. So I'm taking Drew Brees here and we'll 171 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: see what happens for me a round two. Yeah, if 172 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: you compare him to my draft, you're actually getting a 173 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: value on him because he went you know at one 174 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: six in this particular mock and Greg Crew, are you 175 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: taken in the second round here? In the second round, 176 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: I'm still not really considering quarterbacks. I do like to 177 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: wait at that position. So I'm looking at Lamar Miller. 178 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: He's a first round talent at running back, and you 179 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: know he does have the running back one in his 180 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: range of outcomes. You know, the Houston Texans run a 181 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: really high pace offense, and you know, between his rushing 182 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: and receiving ability, I think Lamar Miller's an easy pick 183 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: for me at this point, Lamar Miller is still available 184 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: from me as well, and forty three percent of the 185 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: experts say that that's the best player on the board. 186 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: Thirty say Gronk, and twenty five percent say Dez Bryant. 187 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: I could go with the second quarterback here and take 188 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: Carson Palmer because I think he's right there in those 189 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: top five or six quarterbacks, and then I think there's 190 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: a pretty big drop off, but I'm not going to 191 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: do that because I really want those three running backs, 192 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: and I think the best running back on the board, 193 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: even though you've got Lamar Miller, I think it's levy 194 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: On Bell. I think Leveon Bell when he comes back, 195 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: is going to be the best running back in the league. 196 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: And once you get into the fantasy playoffs, it doesn't 197 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: matter how many games he missed at the start. If 198 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: you make the fantasy playoffs, you've got the best quarterback 199 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 1: in football. I'm sorry if you got the best running 200 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: back in football, and that's Levon Bell. So I'm grabbing 201 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 1: him right now and really hoping that Jamal Charles slips 202 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: to me in the next round because I thought about 203 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: him here too. Yeah, I think all three of those 204 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: running backs are pretty close in value. I tend to 205 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: prefer Charles and Miller over Bell, if only because I 206 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: know they're playing the first three weeks. I do value 207 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: that early season, you know, quick start a little bit 208 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: more than some other analysts. Who are you looking at 209 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: round three? Greg, So the quarterback position is starting to 210 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: get picked clean here according to ECR, the top rank 211 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: qbs or Tyrod Taylor, Kirk Cousins, and Derek Carr. And 212 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: while I do like Tyrod a lot, I'm still not 213 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: quite ready to make a QB pick here in the 214 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: third round. Like I have you talked about at length 215 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: so far, I do like to wait at the position. 216 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: So I'm looking back at wide receivers and running backs again. 217 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: Top running backs available, mark Ingram, Davonta Freeman, the Sean McCoy. 218 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: On the wide receiver side, it's Shorty Nelson and Mary 219 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 1: Cooper and t Y Hilton. I'm not I don't differentiate 220 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: between those wide receivers all that much, and I don't 221 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 1: think that they're all that much better than the guys 222 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: who are a little bit further down, you know, Sammy 223 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: Watkins to Mary as Thomas Randall Cobb, like I think 224 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: there is a value drop off there, but it's not 225 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: that big for me. So I'm actually going to go 226 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 1: back to the running back well here, I'm gonna lock 227 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: up mark Ingram. I'm gonna look at some of that 228 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: you know, high end running back talent that you were 229 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: talking about. But you know, this could come back to 230 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: bite me because we do start more than more wide 231 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: receivers than running backs in this setup, and we'll see. 232 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: I'm kind I'm banking on some late round wide receiver 233 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: value here, but we'll see how it goes. All right 234 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: on to round four, and the guy that I was 235 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: really hoping would fall to me made it back to me. 236 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: I just talked about how I didn't want a wide 237 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: receiver this early, but somehow Demarrius Thomas is still there 238 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: and I'm not taking any chances. Damarius Thomas is now 239 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: on my team. What are you doing in this round? Greg? Yeah? 240 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: I like that pick. I think Damarius is a guy 241 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: who's a little undervalued right now, and I might just 242 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: follow suit. He's my top ranked wide receiver at this 243 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: point and he's still available for me, and I do 244 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: need a wide receiver more than in any of their position. 245 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: I could go with Tyrod at the QB spot, but 246 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: I'm really going to embrace the late round mentality at 247 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: the QB position. I'm going to take to Marius as well. 248 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,719 Speaker 1: It's kind of boring when we agree, isn't it. It's 249 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: all good. That just lets everyone know that Demarrius Thomas 250 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 1: is really the best pick in that stage. I mean, 251 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: I can't believe he's falling through the fourth round in 252 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: some drafts. Yeah, he's got the same bias Julio Jones, 253 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: but I don't really care about that stuff when I'm 254 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: drafting in their early rounds. Yeah, yeah, all right, this 255 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: is a tough decision for me. There's a lot of 256 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: guys that I like here, all pretty close together. Kurt 257 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: Cousins is by far the best quarterback on the board, 258 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: and you guys all know I love Kurt Cousins. This year, 259 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: there's an eighty four percent chance he'll be gone next round, 260 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: so if I want him, I've got to take him. 261 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: But there's two guys that I like at quarterback, hopefully 262 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: they'll fall to me later at running back. Thomas Rawls, 263 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 1: so I used to be extremely high on, but I'm 264 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: just so scared with Kristin Michael just dominating in training 265 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: camp in the preseason, and Pete Carroll talk came up 266 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: so much. Sure, if Rall starts and he ends up 267 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: being the workhorse, he couldn't end up one of the 268 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: top three running backs in the league. He was dynamite 269 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: last year when he got a chance to play. But 270 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: I'm not taking that kind of chance in the fifth 271 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: round with a running back, especially since I already have 272 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: Levy on Bell and mark Ingram. So I'm looking at 273 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,719 Speaker 1: wide receivers again. I've got Eric Decker, Jarvis Landry, and 274 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: Julian Edelman. But I'm going to reach here because I'm 275 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: just ah, there's two guys I really want next round. 276 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: One of them is Larry Fitzgerald and the other one 277 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 1: is Jonathan Stewart, and pick predictors tell me it's much 278 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: more likely Fitzgerald is going to be their next round. 279 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: So I'm taking Jonathan Stewart here is my number three 280 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: running back. He's going to be my flex guy, and 281 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: hopefully Fitzgerald drafts to me, we'll see what happens. I'm 282 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 1: looking at a similar spread of wide receivers. I have 283 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: Jeremy Macklin still available. But with that said, Tyrod did 284 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: slip back to me here in the fifth round, and 285 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: at this point I feel it's probably worth it to 286 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: take a quarterback. I do feel like that's a good 287 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: value on Tyrod. That rushing upside he provides is really big, 288 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: especially in a standard league like this or standard scoring, 289 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: I should say, so he's going to be my pickup. 290 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: I'm on the board of a quarterback, Greg that is 291 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: a steel I can't believe he dropped you that far. 292 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 1: That's a nice pickup. And that's why I like to 293 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: wait at the position, because even if Tyrod isn't that 294 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 1: guy who feels like the value, there's always almost always 295 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: going to be one to two and even three or 296 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: four quarterbacks that do slide down to a point where 297 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 1: they're going below where they should And that just has 298 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: to do with the fact that the guys who draft 299 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: quarterbacks early really have to play catchup at the other positions, 300 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: and that creates value with a QB position for those 301 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: who wait. I'll tell you what, Tyrod Taylor went pick 302 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: around four, pick seven in my draft. So I'm shocked 303 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: that he was there for you, and I'm shocked that 304 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: this guy is here for me. If you guys listen, 305 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,719 Speaker 1: you know, I love Jordan Reid. I think he's the 306 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: best tight end value. I really don't even think it's close. 307 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: You could make a case for Kobe Fleaner, but if 308 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: Jordan Reid stays healthy. He was dominant when he was 309 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: healthy last year ninety five percent of the production. I've 310 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: mentioned this stat before, ninety five percent of the production 311 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: of Rob Gronkowski when they both played. And I'm taking 312 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: Jordan Read even though Fitzgerald's still there, and I'm crossing 313 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: my fingers that fitzgerald last pick predictor says fifty percent chance. 314 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: So let's see what happens. Ah, he missed him. Huh, yeah, 315 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: I didn't work out. Oh well, yeah, I like Read, 316 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: especially at this point in the draft when you can 317 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: kind of compare him to the wide receivers who are 318 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: going to be drafted, and you can say to yourself, well, 319 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: how different of the stat's really going to be? And 320 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: I get to play Jordan Reid at the tight end position. 321 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: The question with him is always just one of injury 322 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: history and health. If you know, those concussions start to 323 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: pop up again, Like he's a guy who there's a 324 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: little bit more risk with a guy like him. At 325 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: this point in the draft than someone like a wide 326 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: receiver in general, if only because tight ends are asked 327 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: to do a little bit more physical work, you know, 328 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: blocking catching passes over the middle of the field. But 329 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: I think that you can't argue with taking him at 330 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: this stage in the draft. That's for sure. He's not 331 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: available for me, though, So I'm turning back to the 332 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: wide receivers. Jeremy Macklin's the highest rated guy. It shows 333 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: him as a value, and you know someone who seventy 334 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: one percent of the experts say I should pick but 335 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: I have Dante Moncrief franked a little bit higher. And 336 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: then a standard scoring settings league like this, I prefer 337 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: that touchdown upside that Moncrief gives to that say PPR 338 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: upside that Macklin gives. So Moncrief is my guy here. 339 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: He's my third wide receiver. Moncrief is way off the 340 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: board for me. He went pick five in the fifth round. 341 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: I would have loved to have him instead of Jonathan 342 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 1: Stewart at that slot, but unfortunately he wasn't there for me. 343 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: Your team shaping up real nice, Greig, Can you give 344 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: us a rundown on what your roster looks like right now. Yeah, 345 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: So I've got one of my quarterback spots filled with 346 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor. My starting running backs are Lamar Miller and 347 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: mark Ingram, and then a wide receiver. I have Julio 348 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: Jones to mary As Thomas and Dante Moncrief. So I 349 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: have one quarterback, a tight end, and a flex spot 350 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: to fill. Even in a standard league, I might still 351 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: prefer to have a wide receiver in that flex spot 352 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: at this point, if only because the running backs were 353 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: looking at tend to be timeshare guys or guys with 354 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: limited opportunity, whereas there are still some wide receivers here 355 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: who should get plenty of targets moving forward. That's why 356 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: I drafted my running backs a little bit early. I 357 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: got Leveon Bell, mark Ingram, and Jonathan Stewart. I don't 358 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: think any of those guys are timeshare guys. Maybe Leveon Bell. 359 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: Who knows what's going to happen with the Steelers, because 360 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: D'Angelo Williams is a great running back and he's got 361 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: to get some carries. But I just think even if 362 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: Bell doesn't get a ton of carries, he's going to 363 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: be so productive that he's going to be one of 364 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: the top fantasy running backs, so I'm happy with those guys. 365 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: I've also got to Mary's Thomas, Jordan Read and as 366 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: I mentioned, Drew Brees at quarter back. So now I'm 367 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: in an interesting spot. This is my dead zone in 368 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: the draft here in the seventh round around you know, 369 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: pick seventy to eighty five, there's really no players that 370 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 1: I think are good values at this spot. Jordan Matthews, 371 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: I'm fairly fond of him. He finished he finished his 372 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: season with some good numbers. He outscored t Y Hilton 373 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: Evans Cob last season. But I'm just not sure he's 374 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: going to take a step forward with their their quarterback situation, 375 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: and you know, Chip Kelly being gone, who knows what's 376 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 1: going to happen in Philly. So I'd prefer to avoid him. 377 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: I could go get Andy Dalton, who's by far the 378 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: best quarterback on the board, but I'd rather still wait 379 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 1: for my guys. So here I am. I'm looking at 380 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: a fourth running back in the seventh round in a 381 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: two QB league, and I know that's strange, but there's 382 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: one guy sitting on the board who I think is 383 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: going to be another workhorse, and it's Duke Johnson, and 384 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: I'm going to scoop him up hopefully someone else who 385 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 1: needs a workhorse running back, and rounds four or five, 386 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: after you know their second running back gets hurt, we'll 387 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: call me and we'll work out a trade for one 388 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: of my four running backs. And if one of my 389 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: guys gets hurt, I'm in great shape as far as 390 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: I'm concerned. So I'm taking Duke Johnson here. I know 391 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a reach, but that's how 392 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: I'm going with. Yeah, trading is so important in a 393 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: league like this where you know, as we've discussed the 394 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,479 Speaker 1: there aren't quite enough quarterbacks to go around. So if 395 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 1: you do have that dept at a certain position like 396 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,719 Speaker 1: running back, likewide receiver, you can really use that leverage 397 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: to your advantage in season to make trades. I'm looking 398 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: at another wide receiver here, or a quarterback, like I 399 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: think I need to take a quarterback with one of 400 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 1: my next two picks because I did wait so long 401 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: to get Tyrod. I do want to have three guys, 402 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: and we're just starting to run out of actual starters 403 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: for me to draft, and so with that in mind, 404 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: I don't think I'm going to use this pick on 405 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: a quarterback, but next round, when it gets back to me, 406 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: I probably will so looking at the wide receivers who 407 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: are available here, I've got John Brown, Emmanuel Sanders, and 408 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: Marvin Jones as the top options in ECR. A little 409 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: bit further down, Michael Crabtree is a guy that I 410 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: think is a little undervalued, but I'm going to bank 411 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: on him remaining undervalued and maybe try to sneak him later. 412 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take John Brown. There are some health 413 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: concerns there with the concussions that he's been experiencing or 414 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 1: the headaches that could be concussion related, but you know, 415 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 1: at this point in the draft, as my flex player, 416 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 1: I don't mind going for a guy with a little 417 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: more risk, and so John Brown's my pick. This is 418 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: a tough one, another tough one because I'm still in 419 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: that dead zone as far as I'm concerned. I like 420 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: some of the running backs available here, Aaron Foster, Rachard Jennings, 421 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: but I really need some wide receivers. I've only got 422 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: one to Mary's Thomas, and I've only got one quarterback. 423 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: I think my quarterbacks are still going to last another 424 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: round or two, so I'm just gonna start scooping up 425 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: the wide receivers I want. Even though it's early, Josh Gordon, 426 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: he's gonna miss four games. If he comes back at all, 427 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 1: he could be great. I'm gonna get enough depth for 428 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 1: wide receivers that I can take a chance here. I 429 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: know my depth isn't going to be super high end, 430 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: but I'm taking a chance with Josh Gordon. If he 431 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: comes back and he's eighty percent of the wide receiver 432 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: that he once was, this pick could win me a league. 433 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 1: If not, so what, I just waste an eighth round pick. 434 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 1: Not that big of a deal. A lot of people 435 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: end up dropping their eighth round pick at some point 436 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: in the season. And I know you're gonna say maybe that, 437 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: maybe if you're a bad drafter, But the fact is 438 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: there's a lot of waiver wire movement in the season, 439 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: and an eighth round pick is not always super safe. 440 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,159 Speaker 1: So I'm taking a risk here. Josh Gordon is my 441 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: eighth round pick. Yeah. I actually have no problem with 442 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: you drafting Josh Gordon in that spot, like at this 443 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: point in the draft. My issue would be that you 444 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: already drafted Levon Bell, who's who he knows also going 445 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: to miss the first three games, and I think that 446 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 1: that might be a little bit too much risk for 447 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: me to want to take on in that sort of capacity. 448 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier than now that we're looking at my 449 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: pick that I needed to get a quarterback, and sure enough, 450 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: after I took John Brown, three quarterbacks went in the interim. 451 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: So I'm kind of under the gun here looking at 452 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: Jay Cutler, Robert Griffin the third and you know, Dak Prescott, 453 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 1: you know, out of nowhere rights as one of the 454 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: top guys available, and it's an interesting spot. I think, 455 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: you know, maybe to piggyback off your Josh Griff or 456 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 1: your Josh Gordon pick, I'm gonna take Robert Griffin here. 457 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 1: That defense shouldn't be very good, which you know, should 458 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: keep them throwing. Griffin also has the use of his legs. 459 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 1: I mentioned, you know, liking that sort of player when 460 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 1: I took Tyrod. So I probably have Cutler ranked higher. 461 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 1: In fact, I'll check just to make sure, but I 462 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: might gamble here on the upside of a guy like 463 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 1: Robert Griffin the third and no, I actually have Griffin 464 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: ranked higher these days, and so my gut reaction was 465 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,439 Speaker 1: correct there. I will take Griffin and we'll see who 466 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: my QB three ends up being, because I do want 467 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: to have a third one who has a solid starting job. 468 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: It's quarterback time for me here in round in round nine, 469 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: I gotta take a guy RG three. He's one of 470 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: my guys. I'm I'm just really fond of his upside. 471 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,360 Speaker 1: How can you not be? He was a great quarterback 472 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: his rookie year. We know that he has it in him. 473 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: Who knows what his knees are like, He's getting Josh 474 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: Boarden back, He's got a pretty good offensive line in 475 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: front of him, and I think Duke Johnson's really gonna 476 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: help the running game, the short passing game. I think 477 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: RG three is a lot of potential. And even though 478 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: I like Kevin White, here it's time to take a quarterback. 479 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: I'm going with RG three, and I'm taking my next 480 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: quarterback in the next round. So we'll see you last 481 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 1: for me. Well, I mentioned this earlier, but trying to 482 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: camp out and wait on Michael Crabtree, and sure enough 483 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: he's available for me here. So he's the guy I'm 484 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: going to pick him. That's a nice pick at this stage, 485 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,120 Speaker 1: real nice pick at this stage. You mentioned your higher 486 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: on Crabtree than other people. Can you explain that a 487 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: little bit? Yeah? Sure, I think that the type of 488 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 1: receiver he is, a guy who is pretty good in 489 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: the possession game, a guy who's a decent red zone target, 490 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 1: a guy in an offense that doesn't have a whole 491 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 1: lot of other receiving weapons, like we know am Maary 492 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: Cooper's there, but beyond that, you're looking at Michael Crabtree, 493 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: Clive Walford, and not a whole lot else Like, in 494 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,360 Speaker 1: no disrespect to Seth Roberts, like, I think that he's 495 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: a fine wider Uber three. But I just have a 496 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: feeling that we're going to see yet another year of 497 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: Michael Crabtree getting peppered with targets in twenty sixteen, just 498 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: like he was last year. And I don't think that, 499 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: you know, ECR and draft ranks have kind of priced 500 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: that in just that inherent volume that he should see 501 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: And that's why I like him more than anything else. Greg. 502 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: I feel real bad. I just told all the listeners 503 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: I was going to take my third QB, but Bruck 504 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: also I was taken, and that's the guy who was 505 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: playing untaken here in this round. So I think I 506 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: can still wait on Dak Prescotts. I'm gonna take another 507 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: high upside guy. The only other guy I'm considering is 508 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 1: Blaine Gabbert, and he's not going to be taken into 509 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: the last round. I think Gabbert actually has quite a 510 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 1: bit of upside with that Chip Kelly offense, which is 511 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: geared for a player with his skill set. I know 512 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: where we haven't seen great stuff out of Gabbert, but 513 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: I think he's got some potential. If not, I drop 514 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: him and pick someone else up. Who knows what's going 515 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,719 Speaker 1: to happen at the quarterback position. I mean there's always 516 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: injuries and someone always pops up. That's a decent streamer play. 517 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: So with my third quarterback, I'll be taken another chance 518 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 1: with one of those guys. But Kevin White still on 519 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: the board. I still need a third wide receiver, as 520 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: embarrassing as that is, and I love Kevin White, so 521 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: I'm grabbing him here. How about your tenth run pick? 522 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: Who are you going with? Greg? So I'm looking to 523 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: pick up that QB three. Perhaps Cutler and Prescott are 524 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 1: the top two guys who aren't named Tony Romo. I 525 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: don't think you can draft Romo this early. Even in 526 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: a two QB league, I think you'd have to draft 527 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: Prescott over him. But with that said, I still only 528 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: have those two running backs I drafted real early, Lamar 529 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: Miller and mark Ingram. I'm debating whether or not I 530 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: want to start building some depth at that position and 531 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 1: gambling on, you know, some one of these other quarterbacks 532 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: coming back. I mean, I think with RG three and 533 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor, there's some risk, but I do feel pretty 534 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: confident at this point that those guys should start most 535 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 1: games for their teams in twenty sixteen. And you know, 536 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: I might just gamble here and see if Dak or 537 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: Bridgewater or even Trevis Simy and make it back to 538 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 1: me later. So I'm going to take a running back, 539 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: A guy I'm high on, a guy who's the second 540 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: rated available running back is t J. Yeldon. Now, he's 541 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 1: not getting a whole lot of buzz right now, if 542 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: only because they signed Chris Ivory. He's slated to get 543 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: the goal line work, but Ivory's never been the picture 544 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: of health. Yelden is the receiving back. I think that 545 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: he's a guy who's a little undervalued right now, and 546 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 1: he's my pick. Greg This was a real bad round 547 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 1: for me. Everybody that I wanted, like the rest of 548 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: the draft was just taken. Dak Bresscott gone, D'Angelo, Williams gone, 549 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: La Garrett Blunt gone, Charles Simms, Tevin Coleman, Stefan Diggs, 550 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: James White, Christine Michael. Those are all my guys. I 551 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,880 Speaker 1: wanted several of those guys, and They're all gone. So 552 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm gonna do right now. I 553 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: need a second to think about this. All right, Well, 554 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: I'll tell you a little bit about what happened. After 555 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: I took Yelden. I started a running back run for 556 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: the ages. It looks like all of the next picks 557 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 1: except for two, were running backs. Jennames, D'Angelo, Williams, Charles Simms, 558 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: Dion Lewis, Isaiah Crowell, Blunt, Foreset, Derrick Henry, Alfred Morris, 559 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: Christine Michael, Kenneth Dickson, James White. I had to take 560 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: a breath in the middle of all those running backs. 561 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: That's pretty crazy. So, I mean, I feel like they 562 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: just gave me a gift at quarterback. I can go 563 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: back and I can take the safe play and Jay 564 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: Cutler or I can take the upside play in Dak Prescott. 565 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,439 Speaker 1: Considering that I took RG three with one of those picks, 566 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna play it a little safer. I'm gonna take Cutler. 567 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: Their schedules relatively soft this year, not quite as soft 568 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: as the Cowboys. But my concern with taking a guy 569 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: like Prescott here is that if Romo does come back 570 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: and he is healthy, that he's not going to be 571 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: able to cover those late bye weeks that I have 572 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: for Tyrod Taylor and Robert Griffin. So Cutler's the choice 573 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: for me, and you know, I don't feel great about it. 574 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: I think it's kind of a hedge pick. It's not 575 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: really a good upside pick, but at this point it's 576 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: the pick I think I need to make with the 577 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: roster I currently have assembled. I think that pick makes 578 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: a lot of sense to this stage. I probably should 579 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: have played it safer, considering all the risk I've already 580 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 1: take with my QB three, But I didn't, so I'll 581 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: have to deal with it, and I need another wide receiver. 582 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,120 Speaker 1: Devin Funchius is still there, and look, I know I'm 583 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: reaching for him. I've done a couple of reaches, but 584 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: go get the guy you like. Like funcis. Yep, there's 585 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,239 Speaker 1: rumors that he might end up being the number one 586 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: guy in Carolina with Cam Newton, and that would be 587 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: a huge value here. Either way, Funchies is going to 588 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: get a lot of targets in that offense, and I'm 589 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 1: grabbing him here. Who are you taking a round twelve? 590 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: Greg Well? Prescott's still available, and I'm thinking about maybe 591 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:20,640 Speaker 1: this is the type of team where I would want 592 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: to hoard that quarterback value we talked earlier about, you know, 593 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: the leverage you can get in trades, and probably the 594 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 1: easiest place to get that leverage is at the quarterback position. 595 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 1: My team feels pretty solid, like I have two great 596 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: running backs, I have three wide receivers that I like 597 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: a lot in Julio Jones to Murray's Thomas and Dante Moncrief, 598 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: and two backups at that position, Like, I don't feel 599 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 1: the need to go out and build more depth at 600 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 1: the wide receiver position, especially when I only have one 601 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: bench spot left and the tight end to Phil. So 602 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: to me, it actually comes down to taking a fourth 603 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 1: quarterback Prescott or Bridgewater, or taking a tight end. And 604 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,199 Speaker 1: I feel like there's just more value to the quarterbacks 605 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,479 Speaker 1: in this stage in this type of league, and you know, 606 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: I'm not a big Bridgewater guy, but I think he's 607 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 1: probably the more correct pick. With that said, I'm just 608 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 1: going to gamble on the upside and take Prescott. I 609 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 1: think that there's more potential value, more potential value there. 610 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 1: When I already have three running or three quarterbacks, it 611 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: doesn't make a whole lot of sense for me to 612 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,199 Speaker 1: make the safe pick. I might as well just go 613 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: full upside and take dak Well. I've only got two 614 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: quarterbacks and Teddy Bridgewater is still there for me. I 615 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: know I already talked about taking Blaine Gabbert, but Teddy 616 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: Bridgewater is not a bad pick at this stage, and 617 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:36,439 Speaker 1: better than you know, I'd sure what's yeah better than yeah? Yeah? 618 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: Although Chip Kelly's offense intrigues me so much, I'm just, uh, 619 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: you know, I love Bruce Ellington for that reason. Who's 620 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: still available in this league and he's he's not going 621 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: to get drafted. I'll keep an eye on him in 622 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: waiver wires. This is not a very deep league. In 623 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: a normal league, Bruce Ellington's on almost every one of 624 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: my teams. He's just a freak athlete, and in that 625 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: Chip Kelly offense. I think he could be utilized as 626 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: the as the wide receiver one eventually put up huge 627 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: stats for where he's being drafted. But I do want 628 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: another wide receiver. The thing is one of the wide 629 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: receivers I like Michael Thomas, Steve Smith, who I especially 630 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: like Philip Dorset, Richard Matthews, and as I mentioned, Bruce Ellenton. 631 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: One of those guys will be there. So I'm taking 632 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater and I've got one more pick left. Who 633 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: are you taking with your final pick rank? So I 634 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: need a tight end and the top two guys are 635 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: the only guys I'm considering, Dwayne Allen and Martella Spennett. 636 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: I have Alan ranked a little higher, but with that said, 637 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: I have Dante Moncrief on this roster already. I don't 638 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: know if I want to commit that much to the 639 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: Colts offense. I actually don't think it's a terrible strategy 640 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: to take both of them, but it might be higher 641 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: upside to take Bennett. I'm only talking about this because 642 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: I'm waffling between them. I'm not sure what I want 643 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: to do here. I'll stick with my rank because I'll 644 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: take Allen, But you know this, if this league had 645 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: one more round, I might look just to pick up 646 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: Bennett in the very next round and try to set 647 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: up a bit of a committee at the tight end position. 648 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: And with my final pick, Steve Smith was taken one 649 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: pick before me. That's the guy wanted at this stage. 650 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: But not too upset about it because I've still got 651 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas and I've still got Richard Matthews in between 652 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: those two, I really think it's it's pretty much a tie. 653 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: And the way that I break ties is who has 654 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: the better quarterback, and it's not even close. It's Drew Brees. 655 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: So I'm taking Michael Thomas with my last pick, and 656 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: let's see what the draft grade spits out at us. 657 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: All right, greg I got an eighty four out of 658 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: one hundred a bee, which makes a lot of sense 659 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: because I reached for a bunch of guys. I took 660 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: some big risks and that's about what I expected to get. 661 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: I'll break down my team real quick, Drew Brees and 662 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: Robert Griffin at quarterback with the backup of Teddy Bridgewater. 663 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: I'm not very happy there. Lady on Bell mark Ingram, 664 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,479 Speaker 1: Jonathan Stewart and Duke Johnson. That's four workhorses as far 665 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: as I'm considered. I know there's some risk with Duke Johnson, 666 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: but he's my number four, so that's a good place 667 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 1: to take risk. Wide receiver Damarius Thomas, Josh Gordon, Kevin White, 668 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: Devin Funchius, and Michael Thomas. You'll notice I've got like 669 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: three New Orleans Saints, but I've also got three Cleveland Browns. 670 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: That that makes me a little erst here. And then 671 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 1: I've got Jordan Read at tight end. So Greg, what 672 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: draft grade did you end up with? Well? After my 673 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: poor showing the last time I was on the podcast, Bobby, 674 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: I'm pleased to announce that I got a ninety six 675 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: out of one hundred on this one, So that puts 676 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 1: me in the A territory. My team is pretty good. 677 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: I actually really like how this one turned out. A quarterback, 678 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: I have Tyrod and Robert Griffin the third, backed up 679 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: by Jay Cutler and Dak Prescott running backs or Lamar Miller, 680 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: Mark Ingram and t J Yelden. Not a whole lot 681 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: of depth there, but with those two workhorse guys as 682 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 1: my starters, I don't foresee a whole lot of instances 683 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: where I'm not going to play them. A wide receiver, 684 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: Julio Jones was a gift in the first round at 685 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: number eight overall, and I backed him up with the 686 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: Mary's Thomas Dante Moncrief, John Brown, and Michael Crabtree. Tight 687 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: end is Dwayne Allen. So I didn't load up on 688 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: the same offenses and quite the same way you did, 689 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: but I did end up with two Colts. That's not 690 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: so bad, though, I think that's all right. I really 691 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: liked this team, Greg. I like your team a lot 692 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: better than I like my team's. It's really not even close. 693 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: I like a bunch of players slipped you that I liked. 694 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: But you also were disciplined with your draft. I wasn't 695 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: necessarily and that's something something to learn. You've done, probably done. 696 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. You've probably done a lot more two QB 697 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: mock drafts than I've done. And that's the best way 698 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: to prepare. Come on draft was or do a bunch 699 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 1: of mock drafts before your Labor Day weekend draft and 700 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: get yourself prepared. You can customize your league settings and 701 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: it's going to give you draft grades. You can figure 702 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 1: out what's going right and what's going wrong. You get 703 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: a real feel for picking in different slots in different settings, 704 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: and it's a great tool, so please use it a bunch, 705 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: and it's best when you compete against your friends. It 706 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: just makes it a lot more fun. JP, I want 707 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: to hear, how did you do well in the time? 708 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: It took you, the both of you to do one, 709 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: and of course you were talking. I did three, and 710 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: so I got an eighty one my first time, an 711 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: eighty six my second time, and then I just finished 712 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: my third where I got a ninety six out of 713 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: one hundred, and my third team went a lot like Greg's. 714 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: I was able to get Julio Jones at eight and 715 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: then I went, You went Lamar Miller in the second round, right, Greg, 716 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: That's correct. So I did the same thing. I went 717 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: Julio and then Lamar Miller. I waited on my quarterbacks. 718 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: I ended up with Jamis Winston and Jay Cutler. My 719 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: other running back is Matt Forte, and then my receivers 720 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: are Julio, Mike Evans and Brandon Cooks. Wow. And then 721 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: my my tight end, I bought into the Kobe Fleaner 722 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: on the Saints hype, so I have him. And then 723 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 1: my flex is Ameer Abdullah and my bench is Robert Griffin, 724 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: Corey Coleman, Dwayne Allen and Theo Riddick. And I don't 725 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: know why I have two tight ends, but I guess 726 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: I do. Those wide receivers are out of this world, 727 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: JP's I'm surprised, but again it was my third while 728 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 1: it took you while you guys did three. So that 729 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: just goes to show that that practice paid off. Right, exactly, 730 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: exactly right, Greg, That's exactly right. So once you click 731 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: projected standings, it's to show you how you break down 732 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 1: against the rest of the league. It asked me finishing 733 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: fourth and assuming you guys, seeing that you guys got 734 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 1: such good draft grades, are you guys both first, it's 735 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 1: got me ranked first in this league? Yes, yep. Yeah. 736 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 1: It is not a very big fan of my starters. 737 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: I have the eighth best starters, but my bench is 738 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: grade really high. You can go through to the draft 739 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 1: analysis tab and see who it considers steals, value, picks, reaches, 740 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 1: and so forth, and also the team analysis tab breaks 741 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: down how you did at each position. It says I 742 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,320 Speaker 1: have the worst wide receivers in the league, which is 743 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 1: for sure why I finished fourth in the league. My 744 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 1: wide receivers are not super impressive to the experts as 745 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: far as they're concerned. But I'm really fond of my guys. 746 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: So you know, I like my team what I have 747 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: liked to have greg or JP's team more. Yes, absolutely, 748 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 1: but that's why you do the practice drafts and you'll 749 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: end up with a team you really like on draft day. Yeah, 750 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: you talked a lot about how certain guys fell to 751 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: me or slid to me in the draft, and I 752 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: think knowing when to draft those guys and knowing when 753 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 1: to pounce on those opportunities is what's most crucial in 754 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 1: this sort of stuff. You're exactly right, Um, Like I 755 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: said that, discipline when you're when you guys listening are 756 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 1: going into your drafts, exercise discipline. Know what you're gonna 757 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,239 Speaker 1: do and stick to it. You will never regret it 758 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 1: if you do that. I regretted not going up and 759 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:19,240 Speaker 1: getting Larry Fitzgerald because he's my guy. Um, I didn't 760 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,280 Speaker 1: stick to my plan. I was trying to get fancy 761 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,799 Speaker 1: and it didn't work out for me. And several other 762 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 1: instances where you know, I know someone would have dropped 763 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 1: if I would have just waited, but I got too, 764 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: Auntie and I and I jumped in and picked way 765 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: ahead of where a guy should have gone. And I'm 766 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,399 Speaker 1: not happy with my grade, but um, you know, that's 767 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 1: part of life. You're gonna have some leagues like that. 768 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:45,239 Speaker 1: So I have a quick question about So when you 769 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,879 Speaker 1: finish up, it shows the team names for every team. 770 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,840 Speaker 1: I assume those are randomly generated. That's right, because there's 771 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: two Cam related puns and there's two Grounk related puns 772 00:35:56,360 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 1: in my in my list of teams, so I assume 773 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: those are two of the most popular team named puns 774 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:09,280 Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, I don't I wouldn't know, but that 775 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 1: I just thought that was interesting. I got two Robbie 776 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: Gould references. Oh nice, Wow, the Golden Corral and gold Rush. Interesting. 777 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:23,919 Speaker 1: He still plays, I guess, so yeah, so who knows 778 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 1: they're all yeah right, exactly, All right, Greg, I got 779 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:28,360 Speaker 1: a lot of fun drafting against you. I think you 780 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 1: did a great job and your insight was spectacular. Thank 781 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 1: you for coming on the show again.
