Speaker 1: and whatever stupid stuff they decided to drop into the show. Now,
Speaker 1: here's your host, Paul. No, there's no Paul charchy in here.
Speaker 1: We are in Paul Charchion's kitchen, which is this is strange, right,
Speaker 1: it's who all right? So this is Matt Harrison. You
Speaker 1: heard the voices of Scott Fish and Brian Johnson as well.
Speaker 1: You have to like end this or something there you go. No,
Speaker 1: what I do is I slowly take the volume down
Speaker 1: the one time I was running the boys. Well you're
Speaker 1: pretty fancy though, Scott um. So it's a it's a
Speaker 1: chartless Fantasy Football Weekly. Uh. And we're here to just
Speaker 1: kind of talk about what happened in the Scott Fish
Speaker 1: Bowl drafts for each of us. Also here to announce
Speaker 1: party at charges house. His address is nine nine nine
Speaker 1: times nine times Road, nine times Avenue. Guys. I have
Speaker 1: a question. Yeah, if we put in a bunch of
Speaker 1: pumpkins spice glade plugins around the house, do you think
Speaker 1: he'd be cool? I hope he doesn't listen to this.
Speaker 1: He definitely won't listen to this. There's no possible play that.
Speaker 1: That's my plane remembering dirty work. When they run and
Speaker 1: put all like the dead fish in the house, run
Speaker 1: around and put pumpkins like pieces of pumpkin pie like
Speaker 1: in the y. I will say, this is a pretty
Speaker 1: pretty nice palatial estate. I didn't expect all the elevators. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's pretty cool the house that Fantasy football built. It
Speaker 1: might be helpful for people to understand kind of what
Speaker 1: Scott fish Bowl is if they're not familiar. Scott, allow
Speaker 1: me to take this one. Do you want to have Brian,
Speaker 1: so let us know what's Scott fish bull For those
Speaker 1: who are uninitiated, it's it's a giant you know tournament,
Speaker 1: a pro am with celebrities, former athletes, um uh, fantasy
Speaker 1: analysts from every major site you can imagine, um and
Speaker 1: just you know, regular fans as well. And what what
Speaker 1: it's about is basically community and gain to know each other,
Speaker 1: networking uh and of course raising money for worthwhile causes
Speaker 1: um lots of them, but that's what it is. We do.
Speaker 1: The drafting in early July usually has a little bit
Speaker 1: unique scoring so that people can't just walk in and
Speaker 1: just kind of go on autopilot. They actually have to
Speaker 1: think about things. But yeah, that's what it is. Every
Speaker 1: every July we run this then and this is the
Speaker 1: twelfth year. It's it's the twelfth edition of it. I
Speaker 1: did take one year off, did year one or two,
Speaker 1: then took a year off. So it's thirteen thirteen years,
Speaker 1: twelfth edition. I guess whatever. And if you want to
Speaker 1: be a part of scott Fish Bowl thirteen, anybody can
Speaker 1: apply to be in it. And where did they go?
Speaker 1: Dot com? Oh that seems easy, right. So loving live
Speaker 1: drafts this year which were amazing. Probably gonna have more
Speaker 1: next year, but they were the live draft aspect I
Speaker 1: thought was so incredibly fun. And all three of us
Speaker 1: took part in the live drafts at kIPS Irish Pub
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis. It's my spot, that's Brian's favorite spot. If
Speaker 1: you ever want to meet Brian, he might be there.
Speaker 1: He's got a cotton back. Yeah, he's the norm of kIPS.
Speaker 1: Uh if I'm not a top golf on the Kipps
Speaker 1: pretty much or at home. Um, but it was it
Speaker 1: was awesome. We had four different drafts each of us
Speaker 1: was in a different draft, Scott. You didn't draft that
Speaker 1: day though, No, no, I was. I was busy. But
Speaker 1: but your son was like the world's greatest commissioner by
Speaker 1: the way, he was good. He started as your assistant
Speaker 1: and the day ended as you being his Yeah, definitely
Speaker 1: actually what happened. Yes, so Ian Fishbowl dot Com is
Speaker 1: the kids per I am um, I would bess that's
Speaker 1: not a bad idea. I would be remiss real quick.
Speaker 1: If you want, of course registered for Scott fish Bowl
Speaker 1: thirteen for next year already, like Scott said, but if
Speaker 1: you want to win your way in, I know Underdog
Speaker 1: has a best Ball contest, which is awesome. Congrats on that.
Speaker 1: And also, like last year, Guillotine Leagues dot Com has
Speaker 1: the Scott fish Bowls Super Chop Contest with Matt. That's
Speaker 1: actually how I got into Scott fish It is it
Speaker 1: is I I actually had Matt on my ineligible list.
Speaker 1: But no, I'm just kidding. So yeah, So lots of
Speaker 1: different ways to get in it. And who's who's Like
Speaker 1: a couple of the famous people that are in Scott
Speaker 1: fish Bowl this year, I don't know. We got we
Speaker 1: got a couple of former athletes like Brendan Haywood and
Speaker 1: um he's from the NBA, yes, former tar Heel. And
Speaker 1: then we got former dukie um Shane Batty Shane bat
Speaker 1: I should have thrown them in the same division. But
Speaker 1: you know, actors, we have like Scott Porter, Jason Street
Speaker 1: from Friday Night Lights, and we have James Orde Rodriguez
Speaker 1: from like psych and stuff, Tom Everett, Scott who is
Speaker 1: you know, of course shades and that thing you do
Speaker 1: and yeah, some other stuff. Actually met him at the
Speaker 1: l An It's dead Man on Campus when come on, now,
Speaker 1: wasn't he in like Welwolf in London or something like
Speaker 1: that as well? Of course that thing you do Tom Hanks,
Speaker 1: But it's dead Man on Campus with Zach Morris. There
Speaker 1: you go. It's all those. Yeah, there's there's a lot more,
Speaker 1: but I'm going to blank on them because there's just
Speaker 1: too many. All right. Um, So I guess coming into
Speaker 1: this draft, to me, I looked at it as a
Speaker 1: quarterback heavy draft of the last few years and Scott
Speaker 1: fish Bull the first two to three rounds see almost
Speaker 1: all the good quarterbacks go. But for you guys, what
Speaker 1: was your what was your pre draft strategy? What were
Speaker 1: you thinking going into the first two to four rounds,
Speaker 1: and I should mention that it's a third round reversal,
Speaker 1: so it goes one to twelve, twelve to one, and
Speaker 1: then twelve to one again on on the team. So
Speaker 1: I actually selected the twelve spot for my my draft
Speaker 1: position too, so I could so I could pick first
Speaker 1: in the third round as well. Yeah, I only do
Speaker 1: it so I can manage everything, you know, pick quickly
Speaker 1: and just man and Brian, what was your draft slot?
Speaker 1: I had the tenth spot. Okay, that was weird, eleventh
Speaker 1: to pick my draft spot, but I was happy. You're
Speaker 1: pleased to have the temp spot because, like you said
Speaker 1: in the third round reversal, I like being being at
Speaker 1: the end. Yeah for sure. Um, So I guess let's
Speaker 1: start with Scott. What was your you know, did you
Speaker 1: have a strategy going into this or were you just
Speaker 1: too fried from running three thousand players in a fantasy league.
Speaker 1: I had a strategy, okay, I wanted to get two quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: a like, at least one stud running back, and then
Speaker 1: I generally just because of the scoring, the tight end premium,
Speaker 1: it's like it's a really big it's like a double
Speaker 1: tight end premium. It's really it's really big premium for
Speaker 1: tight ends and this I wanted to see if I
Speaker 1: could grab one of those stud tight ends. So that
Speaker 1: that was my strategy going in. All right, Brian, what
Speaker 1: was your strategy going in? Yeah, basically the same, Get
Speaker 1: two uh stud quarterbacks, and then it's either two tight
Speaker 1: ends or two running backs. In the first four rounds
Speaker 1: the quarterback scoring, we don't have to get two into
Speaker 1: the weeds, but it's it's not traditional. You need good quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: and even if you have good quarterbacks, you need good matchups,
Speaker 1: Like you can't just go into this with two in
Speaker 1: my mind, two elite quarterbacks to say I'm gonna ride
Speaker 1: these two guys the whole season. Of course they'll have
Speaker 1: bi weeks because in a bad matchup, even Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, you can go negative points on you in this.
Speaker 1: So I'll just throw this out there. Going beyond the
Speaker 1: first four rounds, I took five quarterbacks first ten rounds.
Speaker 1: I don't if they fall for and they fell in
Speaker 1: my draft, I will gobble them up and choke out
Speaker 1: my league on quarterbacks because they'll make or break your
Speaker 1: chances of winning your individual league. And then that's all
Speaker 1: you gotta do getting the big dance. I mean, who
Speaker 1: knows what happened. So if they fall far enough, I know,
Speaker 1: like I can only start too. But I like having
Speaker 1: the options. I'll find replacement level running backs, wide receivers
Speaker 1: later in the draft. You're not gonna find replacement level
Speaker 1: quarterbacks later in the Scott fish Well, like you don't
Speaker 1: want to start Mitch Trubisky ever, even if he's the
Speaker 1: starting quarterback, Like you just don't. That's my mentality. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I had the same mentality. My My whole plan was
Speaker 1: just quarterback quarterback. I was gonna take the two best
Speaker 1: available quarterbacks at twelve and thirteen and then see where
Speaker 1: the where the dice rolled after that. And also, you know,
Speaker 1: I think you can attest to this, Scott, like, when
Speaker 1: someone becomes a starter a quarterback mid season, like Tyler
Speaker 1: Huntley last year, people are going all in on that
Speaker 1: any percent of their fab Huntley did well, But just
Speaker 1: in most cases, when a backup comes in, people lose
Speaker 1: their mind because quarterbacks are valuable and it's you're throwing
Speaker 1: money away spending all your fab on a backup quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: So that that's another reason I stockpile quarterbacks I'm like,
Speaker 1: through the whole season, I don't have to worry about
Speaker 1: bidding quarterback bidding works. You basically have to go all
Speaker 1: in to win one show. Yeah, and we should mention
Speaker 1: it's a twenty two round draft, so it's a pretty
Speaker 1: deep draft. There's not a lot left in the free
Speaker 1: agent pool. That's all the point of it. All these
Speaker 1: people do play because right now, it's just there's not
Speaker 1: a lot of news. Twenty two rounds, so that like
Speaker 1: the roster so deep that in season you're basically just
Speaker 1: setting your lineups and maybe, like you know, if something
Speaker 1: comes up on waivers, then you hit it hard. But
Speaker 1: it's meant to be pretty laid back after the draft. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and um, there's no trading in scott Fish. But of
Speaker 1: course big tournaments generally don't. Alright, So, uh, I guess,
Speaker 1: how did your first couple of rounds go? Did it
Speaker 1: go well? Did somebody snipe you? What happened? Let's start
Speaker 1: with I. I did get I did get some like.
Speaker 1: I did not get the players I wanted to, but
Speaker 1: I fulfilled that strategy of two quarterbacks, a stud running
Speaker 1: back in a tight end. Uh. I got Kyle Pitts
Speaker 1: in the first like a true fan. Then you won't
Speaker 1: have me. I got set on two three, so you
Speaker 1: got on twoelth overall, I took him what was that fourteenth? Overall?
Speaker 1: Overall he was generally going around that corner um leaks.
Speaker 1: I saw him going the mid to late third. I'm
Speaker 1: like he was. He was every once in a while
Speaker 1: he was going. He was going to the third, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, dang, that's value. But honestly, in the fish bowl,
Speaker 1: for me, it's a three thousand tame tournament. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna get my guys. I don't even care. But I
Speaker 1: got Hurts and fields. Then I got cooking pits, like
Speaker 1: not in that order, but you know, fields is obviously
Speaker 1: fourth of that. But the quarterbacks went so fast that
Speaker 1: the fields was the best I had after after all
Speaker 1: of that. Okay, Brian, how'd your first couple of rounds
Speaker 1: pan out? I got the positions I wanted. In the
Speaker 1: tenth pick, I was looking at Dock and Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: I wanted Dock he got. I got sniped there, so
Speaker 1: I gladly took Wilson. I was gonna take Stafford coming
Speaker 1: back in the second round. He went right before me,
Speaker 1: so I quote unquote settled for pits and then in
Speaker 1: the third round reversal, I reached a little bit for
Speaker 1: for twa, which I'm not thrilled about, but hey, I
Speaker 1: got five quarterbacks. I I can play the matchups every week.
Speaker 1: I'm not too worried about. And then uh, in the
Speaker 1: fourth I got the first of my two stud running
Speaker 1: backs that went light on running backs, which is James Conner,
Speaker 1: who if he stays healthy, he's top ten running back.
Speaker 1: I don't see how he is not. I'm not worried about,
Speaker 1: you know, Benjamin or Kiante Ingram. Not worried about them
Speaker 1: at all. So yeah, things worked out alright. Two of
Speaker 1: them might have been a bit of a reach, but whatever. Sure,
Speaker 1: so mine I went with Tom Brady and Matthew Stafford
Speaker 1: has my first two picks, going with old, bold, proven guys. Uh.
Speaker 1: There at the turn, Uh my first pick in the
Speaker 1: third round. Uh, George Kittle was sitting there and uh,
Speaker 1: if you've listened to some earlier Fantasy Football Weekly shows
Speaker 1: from the off season, here Kittle's got all the ability
Speaker 1: to be the number one tight end in the league,
Speaker 1: and he's going to really late. And then I probably
Speaker 1: made the most stunning pick of the draft, the highest,
Speaker 1: I believe according to the Scott fish Bowl tool. I
Speaker 1: took Ken Walker in the fourth round, the last pick
Speaker 1: of the fourth round. A little daring, little balls, but
Speaker 1: let's reach around. Yeah, but I wanted into this was
Speaker 1: before like the blurber came out that Penny's gonna get
Speaker 1: twenty carries game. Yeah, to me, it's Seattle RB one
Speaker 1: gets twenty carries per game. That's how That's how I
Speaker 1: view it. But I was picking at four twelve and
Speaker 1: five one, and I figured Walker's probably not going to
Speaker 1: make it back to me at six twelve seven one.
Speaker 1: So I wanted to get my guy. I wanted to
Speaker 1: make sure that hey, if this guy's a bell cow,
Speaker 1: he's setting things apart in this. So I had Ken
Speaker 1: Walker and then Elijah Mitchell, who I think also has
Speaker 1: some bell cow to him. This year, I think Walker
Speaker 1: would have made it back to you. You hear, You're
Speaker 1: probably right, not the worst pick in the Minneapolis drafts.
Speaker 1: Get your guys, Get your guys. Traylon Burke's like second overall.
Speaker 1: I know people make crazy picks for like clout and
Speaker 1: all that, but for charity, Like I know, one guy
Speaker 1: was like I will take a kicker in the first
Speaker 1: for you know, if if you all like raise this
Speaker 1: money and that that happened and then which is great,
Speaker 1: but they still really want the retweets and all that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The week the week it started, the whole Zack Wilson
Speaker 1: stuff came out and someone too came in the first
Speaker 1: two Did you guys have any super snipes in the
Speaker 1: first couple of rounds that that happened like right before
Speaker 1: your pick that you are all cute up like I.
Speaker 1: I might have deviated from my strategy and gone Cooper
Speaker 1: Cup and Matthew Stafford and had that Batman and Robin there,
Speaker 1: but Cooper Cup went to pick right before me. So
Speaker 1: any anything like that for you guys? Uh? No, I
Speaker 1: I really did not have any. All my snipes came
Speaker 1: from the middle of the draft. It seemed like a
Speaker 1: couple a few picks before. I didn't. I didn't have
Speaker 1: too many that hit me right before my pack, at
Speaker 1: least I don't remember any. I was sniped in the
Speaker 1: first two rounds, you know, the top guy on my
Speaker 1: in my cube, but I was happy with with both picks.
Speaker 1: I was saddest about getting sniped on Dan Arnold in
Speaker 1: the last round. I waited one round too long. Sorry, Dan, Sup,
Speaker 1: Poor Dan Damn. He got the Dan Arnold stickers from
Speaker 1: the from the draft kit on your laptop the growing
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have these tattooed on my back, all right.
Speaker 1: I think it's probably you know, the time when Church
Speaker 1: takes a break on the show. So we're gonna go break.
Speaker 1: We're gonna do that. And this product is approved by
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson Woolson. Welcome back to Fantasy foo Ball Weekly,
Speaker 1: Matt Harrison, Brian Johnson, Scott Fish in for Paul Charchian
Speaker 1: and one of us. I had no idea where he is,
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, No, I don't either. What
Speaker 1: if he's here watching? There's a security camera, Nanny camon here,
Speaker 1: there's This is definitely the place. It has cameras and
Speaker 1: the Fortress of Solitude it is. It is really really
Speaker 1: impressive this place. The butler was really kind when we
Speaker 1: came in. Um alright, So next question for you guys.
Speaker 1: As you kind of went down, you guys went over
Speaker 1: your first four picks, but what was your favorite pick
Speaker 1: in in the Scott Fish Bowl in your draft? Where
Speaker 1: and when did you get him. M. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: know that I have a favorite pick. I I yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know that I have a favorite pick. But
Speaker 1: I do like that I got guys like Adam Feeling
Speaker 1: and Lazard and stuff in double digit rounds could be very,
Speaker 1: very fantasy worthy this year. Um, Like, I did not
Speaker 1: take a quarterback. I actually I believe it was ten one,
Speaker 1: and for a while I was the latest out of
Speaker 1: all the drafts to take their wide their wide receiver one,
Speaker 1: which was dealing. Um. So I'm I'm pretty happy with
Speaker 1: like I got Feeling and Gauge and Lazard and Patrick
Speaker 1: and Nico Collins and Nicole Hardman and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: all all well into the double digit rounds, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I can make those work in some fashion, you know.
Speaker 1: So I think my favorite isn't a specific pick. It's
Speaker 1: just the fact that I waited on wide receivers so long,
Speaker 1: and I feel like I can make those six guys
Speaker 1: in waiver wire stuff work for my wide receivers, and
Speaker 1: I was able to get you know, a lot of
Speaker 1: value for the other positions above them. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: tend to pay up for wide receivers. So you mentioned him,
Speaker 1: I got Russell Gauge with the third pick in the
Speaker 1: eleventh round, which I was thrilled with. Well after guys
Speaker 1: like Robert Woods, DeAndre Hopkins who's missing the first six
Speaker 1: games of course, Sky More, Christian Kirk, Michael Thomas, Elijah More, Hunter, Renfro,
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin. I think Russell Gauge can outscore all those
Speaker 1: guys definitely on a on a season basis, because Godwin
Speaker 1: is probably gonna miss some games. Who knows with Michael Thomas,
Speaker 1: So Russell Gauge, guy that just is undervalued still in
Speaker 1: all formats, he could be the top points scorer, you know,
Speaker 1: position position, player wise outside of Brady for the Bucks
Speaker 1: is here. I guess my my favorite pick, uh, it's
Speaker 1: it's probably a combination at the turn here in the
Speaker 1: tenth In the eleventh round, it took Sky Moore, who
Speaker 1: I think has a great opportunity to be Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: favorite receiver in Kansas City this year. And then in
Speaker 1: the eleventh round, I get a starting quarterback in Baker Mayfield,
Speaker 1: which I felt really good about getting. You know, a
Speaker 1: third quarterback who's probably going to start most of the season.
Speaker 1: Well at the time, I don't believe he that trade,
Speaker 1: and trade had not gone through yet. I felt like
Speaker 1: he was probably he was probably Cleveland's quarterback for the year,
Speaker 1: if not somebody else's. And I'm glad he got moved
Speaker 1: to Carolina there so and by the way, yeah, Brown's
Speaker 1: I believe it's at Panthers week one, just like the
Speaker 1: revenge game right away, Revenge Game Paradise in week one.
Speaker 1: There there were a couple of super interesting revenge games
Speaker 1: in week one, Seattle and Denver as well, that giant
Speaker 1: trade that went through with Russell Wilson's here, and yeah,
Speaker 1: obviously listen to the show and we'll break all down
Speaker 1: the road. I got Gino Smith in the twentie round,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, he could be the starter. Like
Speaker 1: that's in a super flexing. I think he gets the
Speaker 1: first shot. That's I feel the same way, and I
Speaker 1: know Charge feels the same way. We're team Gino over
Speaker 1: team lock on this show. Alright, I've help the the Seahawks.
Speaker 1: But yeah, absolutely so, when does whiskey Wednesday start? By
Speaker 1: the way, um, next week we're gonna do Yeah, awesome,
Speaker 1: there is his whiskey in this house. Yeah, I'll show you.
Speaker 1: Oh you know what, it's in. It's in the whiskey room. Room.
Speaker 1: We have to pull off like an ocean leaving type
Speaker 1: like distraction cameras, just an eyeball to the cellar, just
Speaker 1: past the vault. If you've seen squid game, he's got
Speaker 1: that like giant little girl thing that'll just if you
Speaker 1: walk in the room. Oh boy, that would be crazy.
Speaker 1: All right. I don't even look at his whiskey. What
Speaker 1: were the late round players? Like I mentioned round twenty
Speaker 1: or later, but what were the guys that you got
Speaker 1: super late that you were very excited about. Uh, mostly
Speaker 1: just part part of because the format and I don't
Speaker 1: want to fight over guys on the possible waiver wearing
Speaker 1: it's so deep. I was taking guys like Isaiah Pacheco
Speaker 1: and Tyler Beatty and stuff like that for Baltimore. Um
Speaker 1: that you know, could you know if there's injuries, if
Speaker 1: Dobbins isn't ready for the season, and Gus isn't ready
Speaker 1: for like I mean, there's there's chances there for guys
Speaker 1: like that Chuba Hubbard. Um they grabbed him there. I'm
Speaker 1: not even completely I didn't grab him, but I'm not
Speaker 1: even completely out on Donald Parham yet. That offense is
Speaker 1: gonna be awesome. And he's such a red zone threat that, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, if you're not buying in on Gerald Everett
Speaker 1: the third stop in three years, um, he you know,
Speaker 1: he could be super end of your draft, probably waiver
Speaker 1: wire in most leagues that he if he scored eight touchdowns,
Speaker 1: that wouldn't shock me. Like a Hunter Henri esque, you know,
Speaker 1: just scores touchdowns that comes in on redd package. This guy.
Speaker 1: I got two running backs very late, which I'm pretty
Speaker 1: high on based on their ADP. One his son Haskins
Speaker 1: for Tennessee. Um, Dante Foreman gone. I mean, something happens
Speaker 1: to Derrick Henry Paskins jumps right in and plays the
Speaker 1: role that Dante Foreman did last year and Foreman thrived.
Speaker 1: They have Dontrell Hilliard, but he's just a a pass
Speaker 1: catching specialist, and they might they want to keep Henry healthy.
Speaker 1: That's kind of a wide open division. So I think
Speaker 1: Haskins sees five to tend carries a game even with
Speaker 1: with Henry help healthy. And then uh, Jerick McKinnon another
Speaker 1: one who I thought he looked really good when he
Speaker 1: finally played at the end of the season last year
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs and the playoffs. I don't I'm not
Speaker 1: convinced that c h is the best running back Ronald Jones,
Speaker 1: So McKinnon could be the best running back on roster.
Speaker 1: I think he's the best pass catching running back on roster.
Speaker 1: So those are two guys who are targeting. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of these guys like Zamir White isn't going that late,
Speaker 1: but he could easily take out the Isaiah Spiller probably
Speaker 1: not that late either, But like Chris Evans behind Joe
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon, you know that's a good Keyshan Vaughan if
Speaker 1: if Brady and all the veterans don't trust the rookie
Speaker 1: Rashad White in there, and Lenny is two sixty pounds,
Speaker 1: I mean Keyshawn Vaughan could get a role um and
Speaker 1: these guys are going like really late. Yeah. Well, I
Speaker 1: love Evans and Haskins because they just seem like the
Speaker 1: one that they're just one bad break. It would be
Speaker 1: a good break for them away from h Yeah, being
Speaker 1: a bell cow. Basically, I ended up taking in the
Speaker 1: last I looked eleven rounds. I ended up taking seven
Speaker 1: rookies in the last eleven rounds just because of the
Speaker 1: rookie dice roll. If two of those guys work out
Speaker 1: and they carve out like fairly decent roles, I'm feeling
Speaker 1: pretty good about that. And I mean I could be
Speaker 1: taking guys like Donovan, People's Jones or Hayden Hurst or
Speaker 1: you know, Benjamin. I'm I'm rolling the dice on some rookies.
Speaker 1: So the rookies I ended up with Isaiah Spiller, Tyler
Speaker 1: al Gier of Atlanta, George Pickens, Justin Ross Snoop Honor
Speaker 1: who I know, Charch really likes. I like all of
Speaker 1: these guys you're mentioning pretty much, Romeo Dubes and Abram
Speaker 1: Smith in New Orleans, with Alvin looking like a suspension
Speaker 1: is looming there, Uh, Ingram maybe not ready to go.
Speaker 1: Abram Smith might be a guy who's getting the ball
Speaker 1: early for the Saints this year. So he was my
Speaker 1: last pick of the draft. So I got Corey Davis
Speaker 1: in the twentieth round, which I thought was pretty nice
Speaker 1: value there because he's probably still the guy who gets
Speaker 1: maybe as many or the most targets for the Jets
Speaker 1: this year as wide receiver. He was consistently going in
Speaker 1: that he's he's one of those My son got him
Speaker 1: my son. Yeah, you know, you might honestly go down
Speaker 1: the board and tell us what Ian's drafted, because draft
Speaker 1: was probably is going to be an interesting case study
Speaker 1: on He doesn't know Twitter hype, he doesn't know other
Speaker 1: podcast hype. He doesn't even like he doesn't play dice,
Speaker 1: you know, it's nothing about eynasty. Like he follows the
Speaker 1: NFL drafts. He knows all the players. Um, but where
Speaker 1: does he get most of his knowledge from? I really
Speaker 1: don't know, just just at NFL network maybe I don't know,
Speaker 1: and and looking up stats from last year, maybe playing
Speaker 1: Madden a little. Um, I don't know. Honestly, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Probably talking to me some but anyway, nine, Yeah, he's nine.
Speaker 1: But he is a true case study. And like he
Speaker 1: just keeps grabbing points, like like in the round that
Speaker 1: like I'm taking like Cole Commad and Gabriel Davis are
Speaker 1: going and stuff like that. He's like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'll take Melvin Gordon and Marii Cooper. He's like, I'll
Speaker 1: just take the points even though you guys don't want
Speaker 1: him so uh No, he started out Josh Allen Jamaar
Speaker 1: Chase to a Nick Chobb. Here's another one where he
Speaker 1: just took the points in the fifth round. Ezekiel Elliott. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, he's gonna score a lot of points.
Speaker 1: He might be a talk twel back. And he just
Speaker 1: grabbed him in the fifth route like he was like nothing,
Speaker 1: I got Zeke in the fifth two. So I'm a genius.
Speaker 1: Awson Knox, Marity Cooper, i'man Ross Brown, Trey Lemberg's, jud
Speaker 1: Smith Schuster, Melvin Gordon, Chase Claypool. He's got two chases,
Speaker 1: Michael Carter, Robert touny In, Jimmy Garoppolo, Harrison Butker, j D. McKissick,
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, Corey Davis, like you, Devin Duverney, who might
Speaker 1: be the number two there in Baltimore. Uh, then he
Speaker 1: went Gelanni Woods and a last pick Gardner Minshew. So
Speaker 1: a lot, you know, a decent amount of points um
Speaker 1: in the starting lineup, which I like. I think the
Speaker 1: projected score for week one, he's the highest projected team
Speaker 1: in our league because he's just he is gonna make
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Watch Ian win the thing in his first attempt. No,
Speaker 1: not to peacock or anything, but if somebody finished tenth
Speaker 1: overall that last year, did you really did Um, you
Speaker 1: mentioned Dawson Knox, who last year he was a got
Speaker 1: him in the you know, very very late rounds. That's
Speaker 1: that's like the skeleton key to me still is you
Speaker 1: gotta unlock that just gold mine it tight end because
Speaker 1: we didn't mention it. Tight ends get a full point
Speaker 1: for per reception and for first down running backs and
Speaker 1: wide receivers get a half point. So it's who is
Speaker 1: going to be this year's Dawson Knox. You'll see a
Speaker 1: lot of those teams advanced. I mean, other things have
Speaker 1: to fall in their favor, of course, but I think
Speaker 1: you need to unearthed that tight end gold late in
Speaker 1: the draft. And Knox was one of the four tight
Speaker 1: ends who scored Josh Allen. So if those two light
Speaker 1: up scoreboards in the Fantasy playoffs. So while while we're
Speaker 1: while we're talking about it, did you guys take a
Speaker 1: late tight end that you think can be a nine
Speaker 1: times scorer this year? I don't know about nine times.
Speaker 1: But again, Dan Arnold, could I need Evan Ingram to
Speaker 1: just keep dropping balls or keep getting hurt like he's
Speaker 1: done so well throughout his career. But Evan Jordan's who
Speaker 1: I got. Let's see in the seventeenth round pretty late.
Speaker 1: I like Brevn Jordan, who was a rookie last year. Ah,
Speaker 1: he's the Texans have like always had like two or
Speaker 1: three tight ends in the rotation, but he's going to
Speaker 1: this year as the guy. And outside of Brandon Cooks,
Speaker 1: I'm not sold on John Metchi. I do like Nico Collins,
Speaker 1: but Brevn Jordan could be the second leading receiver for
Speaker 1: the Texans. And I think we're all big Davis Mills
Speaker 1: fans here, So he feels like a a guy who
Speaker 1: could flirt with eight hundred nine hundred yards six seven
Speaker 1: touchdowns and failure. That'd be like tight end six. Scott,
Speaker 1: how about you, who'd you get as your late tight end? Uh? Well,
Speaker 1: I took Pitts and come at both within the first
Speaker 1: eight rounds. So I waited right until the end and
Speaker 1: took Chris took Cameron Braid. Of course that was before
Speaker 1: the Rudolph's signings. But we'll see how it goes. I
Speaker 1: might end up dropping him for something. Yeah, there there
Speaker 1: are guys that can you know at the end of
Speaker 1: your draft. They can like Daniel Bellinger for New York
Speaker 1: Giants if he if he ends up being the starter.
Speaker 1: He could be in play. Taysom Hill's interesting because he
Speaker 1: might get you know, four rushing touchdowns on top of
Speaker 1: like two or three receiving showns Um, yeah, there's there's
Speaker 1: a there's a couple. I guess I ended up with
Speaker 1: Robert Tuny in the fourteenth round. Who you know. With
Speaker 1: Davante Adams gone, he might be just the red zone
Speaker 1: target for Aaron Rodgers one of the guys that he
Speaker 1: really trust. That was Ian's fourteenth round pick. That's because
Speaker 1: Ian told me to take him in the fourteenth round
Speaker 1: and then he did it as well. So yeah, he
Speaker 1: was man. Ian was so great, like just making fun
Speaker 1: of all the pis during the throwing shade at people.
Speaker 1: It was. It was great. No filter on that kid.
Speaker 1: Not only does he have no filter, he does not
Speaker 1: have what like I can easily see both sides of
Speaker 1: most players. So like when someone tells me there, sound
Speaker 1: like yeah, I can see that, like my son just
Speaker 1: he has an opinion in any stands its ground on
Speaker 1: whatever he feels of that player. Yeah, absolutely, all right,
