Speaker 1: Excuse me, since we recorded on Monday, and then we
Speaker 1: have a Dynasty startup mock draft that we are going

Speaker 1: the Open Market. Was not franchise tagged by the Detroit
Speaker 1: Lion Hunter. Henry hit the Open Market. He is now
Speaker 1: a free agent. Alan Robinson was franchise tagged by the
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. Chris Godwin was franchise tagged by the Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers and Ray I'm just going to rip through
Speaker 1: these at the end. Feel free to chime in on
Speaker 1: any of them if you want, but just kind of
Speaker 1: going through logistics here. You're just keep making sure everyone
Speaker 1: stays up to date. Johnny Smith did not receive the
Speaker 1: franchise tag. Lets freaking go. Aaron Jones hit the open
Speaker 1: market as well, and then we get past all of this.
Speaker 1: The Giants will keep featuring Evan Ingram in twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: per Joe Judge. Why though, I don't understand that one.
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon had his DUI charges dismissed. Now the NFL
Speaker 1: may still take action on this one, but that remains
Speaker 1: to be seen. So that's a big news for Melvin
Speaker 1: Gordon fantasy managers that are holding onto him, and because
Speaker 1: he was facing a three game at minimum suspension. So
Speaker 1: the NFL may still take action, like I said, but
Speaker 1: that remains to be seen. Joe Mixon is now healthy
Speaker 1: according to Zach Taylor, so heading into next seasons that
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon should be ready to receive his full workload.
Speaker 1: I'm buying Joe Mixon everywhere that I can in Dynasty.
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders was released by the New Orleans Saints as
Speaker 1: they attempt to get underneath that cap, that salary cap.
Speaker 1: They've still got a long way to go, but Emmanuel
Speaker 1: Sanders now looking for a new home. John Brown was
Speaker 1: also released by the Buffalo Bills. He was carrying a
Speaker 1: significant cap hit this season for twenty twenty one. So
Speaker 1: he is released and now I expect that they'll look
Speaker 1: to the draft or potentially just move forward next season
Speaker 1: with Stefon Diggs, Gabriel Davis and Cole Beasley there John Brown,
Speaker 1: I think he's kind of on the outs as far
Speaker 1: as dynasty is concerned. We'll see where he lands. Though.
Speaker 1: Teams are reportedly reaching out to the Patriots about wide
Speaker 1: receiver nikkil Harry again why though, don't understand it, but
Speaker 1: apparently he's getting interest as a trade target. Here just
Speaker 1: a few more things. Gus Edwards received a second round
Speaker 1: tender from the Ravens, so he is going to be
Speaker 1: a huge factor. That's a significant price tag for or
Speaker 1: at least the tender there for for Gus Edwards there
Speaker 1: for a running back, speaks to what they think of
Speaker 1: him heading into next season. Jaguars GM Trent Bulky is
Speaker 1: looking to add to his running back corps this offseason.
Speaker 1: So Ray, I will make you answer this one. Best guess.
Speaker 1: James Robinson will be a RB what in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: one RB one, RB two, RB three, RB four Locked
Speaker 1: and loaded, RB one man locked and loaded. So you're
Speaker 1: not you're not reacting too much to this. You think
Speaker 1: this was expected. They're just going to bring in a
Speaker 1: complimentary piece. They were never going to roll into twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one with dare Goomba, l A Right cor arm Stader,
Speaker 1: divine A, Zigbo, James Robinson, Urban Meyer, Zekiel Elliott. He's
Speaker 1: going to be the feature guy. They need a backup,
Speaker 1: but they're not rolling with Chris Thompson in company. They
Speaker 1: just needed they need a complimentary piece, all right. And
Speaker 1: then mark Ingram signed a one year deal with the
Speaker 1: Houston Texans again why though, I don't understand this tining whatsoever.
Speaker 1: David Johnson and Marking grow running back mates there in Houston.
Speaker 1: I have no idea what Houston's doing. You know, for
Speaker 1: Dino leagues, you you you sell the news, you buy
Speaker 1: the room or sell the news. And right now, this
Speaker 1: gives you an incredible opportunity either to acquire some of
Speaker 1: these players or trade some of them, you know, off
Speaker 1: speculation of where they may land. But when you're talking Holaday,
Speaker 1: when you're talking Hunter, Henry Aaron Jones, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of talent on the free agent market. I like Gus Buss,
Speaker 1: like like Gus Edwards. I think he's going to be
Speaker 1: more involved in that offense than a lot of people think,
Speaker 1: which may you know, hamper some of those JK. Dobbins
Speaker 1: expectations with man, this is this is going. This is
Speaker 1: what makes Dino League so fun, just the shifting of players,
Speaker 1: and you know, the value increases or decreases depending on
Speaker 1: landing spot with some of these players. Absolutely, I mean,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be We're gonna be right back here next week,
Speaker 1: assuming that Ray can talk at that point. Next week,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be right back here making sure that you're
Speaker 1: staying up to date with all the free agent fallout
Speaker 1: and everything like that, and given of course, the dynasty
Speaker 1: aspect of all that. So all right, we're good with
Speaker 1: the news. We're good to move on. Yep, yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 1: We're good. We're good, all right, perfect, all right, So guys,
Speaker 1: we are doing, like I said, a dynasty startup mock draft.
Speaker 1: You can do your own dynasty mock drafts to get
Speaker 1: ready for rookie draft season by going to Fantasy pros
Speaker 1: dot com slash simulator, select the startup mock draft button
Speaker 1: and you can set up and complete a dynasty rookie
Speaker 1: draft in just minutes. And you can even do a
Speaker 1: mock draft up to six rounds. Get this four round
Speaker 1: rookie draft nonsense out of here. Give me a mock
Speaker 1: draft with six rounds of rookies. They're a ton of fun,
Speaker 1: they're easy, they're free, and they're found at Fantasy pros
Speaker 1: dot com slash simulator. All right, Ray, we have got
Speaker 1: the Dynasty mock draft. Like I said, this is a
Speaker 1: one QB format, So I'm just going to run through
Speaker 1: the positions and how we got this set up. Now
Speaker 1: we are only doing how many total pick? I think
Speaker 1: we're doing twenty total picks here. Now, we typically we
Speaker 1: are a proponent of you know, twenty five plus. You know,
Speaker 1: twenty six is kind of the sweet spot, and then
Speaker 1: you can add more in taxis squads and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: If we did a twenty six round mock draft here,
Speaker 1: no one would listen to it. Like I guaranteed, no
Speaker 1: one would listen to it because it would be a
Speaker 1: two hour long podcast and Ray apparently can't hang that long.
Speaker 1: So we're doing the twenty twenty rounds here. We got
Speaker 1: the one QB, three running backs, three wide receivers, one
Speaker 1: tight end, and then two flex spots, and then we've
Speaker 1: got ten bench spots. Okay, so this is really interesting. Ray.
Speaker 1: This is my first like startup mock of this season.
Speaker 1: I haven't done one yet. I haven't even done like
Speaker 1: a real real startup draft this offseason at all. So
Speaker 1: this is just gonna be a ton of fun. I
Speaker 1: don't know the values on these players at all, so
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna kind of roll in here and we're
Speaker 1: gonna see what happens. Right, I'm pretty nervous, man, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna live because you just never know how the
Speaker 1: board is gonna fall, and we gotta do this quick
Speaker 1: so you don't have hours to think about these picks.
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna I'm just gonna keep it real. Yeates,
Speaker 1: I'm coming out here to kick you, bat man. I'm
Speaker 1: coming I'm coming to wreck it. Let's go, all right, Well,
Speaker 1: we'll put it to the people when we're done, we'll
Speaker 1: put up. We'll put up the rosters side by side
Speaker 1: and see see who comes out on top. All right,
Speaker 1: so let's see, Ray, it looks like you got the
Speaker 1: number two overall pick. There, I got the one eleven.
Speaker 1: So I hate drafting at the turn. It's the freaking worst.
Speaker 1: So mock draft is starting in five seconds. We're gonna
Speaker 1: see who goes number one overall. Again, this is a
Speaker 1: one QB format, so not surprising Christian McCaffrey goes off
Speaker 1: the board. They're at number one overall. You're sitting there
Speaker 1: at one O two though, Ray, Yeah, yeah, some interesting
Speaker 1: choices here, I mean, Jonathan Taylor, we go there are
Speaker 1: We're gonna stick with the talent here of se Quon Barkley.
Speaker 1: Where are we going? We got se Quon and JT.
Speaker 1: Those are my two choices. But I'm gonna go with
Speaker 1: the healthy, young bull, the young stud behind that Indianapolis
Speaker 1: Colts O line. I do like Carson Wentz at quarterback,
Speaker 1: and I believe in the Colts organization. Jonathan Taylor, I
Speaker 1: think is poised for a phenomenal season in Indy, so
Speaker 1: I will gladly take him here at the one O two.
Speaker 1: Now we last season, of course, that Nihim Hinz factored
Speaker 1: in Jordan Wilkins when he was healthy. You know, there
Speaker 1: was still that at least in the middle part of
Speaker 1: the season. He jt did take over as we got
Speaker 1: towards the end there, But any concern whatsoever there because
Speaker 1: that like one O two, if you're taking him above
Speaker 1: some of these other guys like you know, Kimara, Dalvin Cook,
Speaker 1: Saquon Barclay, like you're you apparently don't have any concerns
Speaker 1: of that whatsoever. Correct, No concerns, and sae Quon would
Speaker 1: have been the choice, you know, had I not had
Speaker 1: so much conviction to Jonathan Taylor. But no concerns. I
Speaker 1: think it's a it's a hell of a pick man,
Speaker 1: all right. I am up at the one to eleven
Speaker 1: I've got I typically go running back heavy here at
Speaker 1: the start, So I'm looking at some of these guys
Speaker 1: on the board, Nick Chubb, Derrick Henry DeAndre Swift, Cam Akers, JK. Dobbins,
Speaker 1: you got Ezekiel Elliott. Later on there, I am going
Speaker 1: to I'm just gonna take the guy that is a
Speaker 1: proven stud, and that's Nick Chubb. I am going to
Speaker 1: stick to the top of the board here I'm gonna
Speaker 1: draft Nick Chubb here to start off my roster. Now,
Speaker 1: of course, in a half PPR, it doesn't exactly provide,
Speaker 1: you know, the type of boost that you want with
Speaker 1: some of these other running backs. This is the same
Speaker 1: thing with Derrick Henry. But for what Nick Chubb brings
Speaker 1: me in such a run heavy offense that I believe
Speaker 1: is just only going to get better next season as
Speaker 1: they enter into year two of this system, I'm happy
Speaker 1: to get Nick Chubb here at the back end of
Speaker 1: the first Yeah, that's a good pick. I think that's
Speaker 1: a heck of a pick at the one eleven spot.
Speaker 1: And you back up right, so you got the one
Speaker 1: eleven and then the two oh two, so you still
Speaker 1: got some nice backs and receivers on the board for you. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So we saw Justin Jefferson go inside the first round there,
Speaker 1: and then Derrick Henry at the two oh one. It
Speaker 1: would have been really cool to be able to start
Speaker 1: my draft with Nick Chubb and Derrick Henry. But I'm
Speaker 1: looking at the board here now and I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: a little bit further down and I'm going to take
Speaker 1: a chance here. I'm going to roll the dice here
Speaker 1: a little bit and guess that Aaron Jones ends up
Speaker 1: in a really really nice spot for fantasy football here
Speaker 1: in free agency. So Aaron Jones, of course, proven receiver.
Speaker 1: We know how efficient he is and talented in that role.
Speaker 1: And I think that whatever team we talked about this
Speaker 1: in a previous episode, whatever team brings him in, is
Speaker 1: going to pay one pay significant money and then to
Speaker 1: utilize that investment. So whether it is in Miami, whether
Speaker 1: it's in another location, that, of course we're gonna find
Speaker 1: out here pretty soon. I'm gonna roll the dice here
Speaker 1: and cross my fingers and hopes that hope that he
Speaker 1: ends up in a dynamic offense that is going to
Speaker 1: absolutely feature him. So, all right, you're up here at
Speaker 1: the two eleven. We saw guys like Patrick Mahomes, George Kittle, JK. Dobbins,
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs, Zeke Eckler, and Gibson go off before you.
Speaker 1: Where are you going here at the two eleven? Now,
Speaker 1: this is dynasty, right, So I'm building my team for
Speaker 1: now and for the future. Correct, Correct, Well, I got
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor and there's two stud ro you know, second
Speaker 1: year running backs on the board, DeAndre Swift and Cam Acres,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go with the player who got an
Speaker 1: upgrade at the quarterback position. I believe in cam Acres
Speaker 1: is talent, and I got another pick coming up here
Speaker 1: in a second, So I'm gonna go cam Acres here
Speaker 1: at the two eleven. Start my running back corp Jonathan
Speaker 1: Taylor and Cam Acres. I really like to build my
Speaker 1: dynasty core with stud running backs, and knowing the depth
Speaker 1: of the wide receiver position, I feel like I'll be
Speaker 1: able to get some really good value later on at
Speaker 1: wide receiver. And you know, the cool thing about this
Speaker 1: market where we're slotted is we both get kind of
Speaker 1: like back to back picks. Right you were at the
Speaker 1: I'm at the two the one on one. You were
Speaker 1: at the one eleven spots. So I knew I was
Speaker 1: going to have a chance to go ahead and solidify
Speaker 1: my running back corps here with my first three picks
Speaker 1: and Yates, I am going to dive. I'm going to
Speaker 1: stick stick true to my personal rankings my board, and
Speaker 1: I'm going to dive into the rookie pool and land
Speaker 1: my running back one in the twenty twenty one class
Speaker 1: right here at the three h two. You know where
Speaker 1: I'm going, don't you don't you? You know I talk
Speaker 1: to you about Nay, I'm going Nagy Harris, the six
Speaker 1: foot two, two hundred and thirty pounds stud out of Alabama,
Speaker 1: and you know my running back corp is good. I
Speaker 1: can focus on other positions right now. One quarterback league.
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about the QB right now. Harris, J
Speaker 1: T and Acres. That's how we're rolling as a stud
Speaker 1: start man. You're really young at running back, but that's
Speaker 1: kind of what you want. Right with these guys, you
Speaker 1: know what their role is for the next three to
Speaker 1: four years right there, and Nause I think is kind
Speaker 1: of landing proof lanning spot proof, right like, we know
Speaker 1: whatever team is going to select him within the first
Speaker 1: thirty two picks, which I truly do believe that's going
Speaker 1: to be the case that we see him go in
Speaker 1: the first round, is going to utilize him. Avay. So
Speaker 1: all right, we saw guys like Miles Sanders go off
Speaker 1: the board, Calvin Ridley. I was kind of eyeing Calvin
Speaker 1: Ridley there, but he went at the three oh six,
Speaker 1: ceh Alan Robinson all the way at the three o eight.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's really good value. Terry McLaurin DJ Moore.
Speaker 1: I'm up here now, I've got thirteen seconds on the
Speaker 1: clock at the three eleven, and I talked about I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take Joe Mixon man still only twenty four years early.
Speaker 1: Everyone seems to be completely writing off Joe Mixon. And
Speaker 1: I don't really understand why, you know, just because he
Speaker 1: was out for a part of this season, and yeah,
Speaker 1: I get that that burned you a little bit here,
Speaker 1: but CMC missed a lot of time this past year,
Speaker 1: and everyone seems willing to just complaine. I mean, he
Speaker 1: went one oh one here, right, so don't mix him.
Speaker 1: When he is healthy in this offense, he's getting an
Speaker 1: insane workload. They're gonna make investments in the offensive line
Speaker 1: this offseason, you know, potentially drafting a guy like Penny
Speaker 1: Sewell or Rishawn Slater all the way up at number
Speaker 1: five overall. I could see them and dipping in free
Speaker 1: agency to the to the offensive line class and just
Speaker 1: really trying to shore this up. So I'm a big
Speaker 1: fan of mixing, and to get him as my RB
Speaker 1: three here ye at the three eleven is fantastic. I
Speaker 1: am going to go wide receiver here though. Actually let
Speaker 1: me take a look at who's on the board at
Speaker 1: tight end. Well, yeah, okay, okay, no, no, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Chris Godwin here sitting at the top
Speaker 1: of the board. And you know, even with Mike Evans,
Speaker 1: even with Antonio Brown, Rob Gronkowsie all the receiving weapons
Speaker 1: that they're you know, supposedly going to have again next year,
Speaker 1: I think that regardless, Chris Godwin is still a very
Speaker 1: very consistent wide receiver. So that's something that I really
Speaker 1: really value is consistency in my wide receivers for fantasy football.
Speaker 1: And Godwin provides that he might not have the overall
Speaker 1: ceiling that he did back with Jamis and when it
Speaker 1: was just Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, but yet still
Speaker 1: providing a very very safe floor week in and week out.
Speaker 1: So to get him at the in the fourth round
Speaker 1: here as my wide receiver one for my roster, I
Speaker 1: feel like that's good value. Yeah, I thought that was
Speaker 1: a good pick for you. That was a good I
Speaker 1: was eyeing Chris god when I knew he wasn't going
Speaker 1: to come to me here at the four eleven, So
Speaker 1: I do want to dip my toe in the wide
Speaker 1: receiver pool. And honestly, I wish this was a real
Speaker 1: nine O league because I really really love the way
Speaker 1: this draft is unfolding. And you know, no trades or
Speaker 1: anything like that. But right here we talked about Joe
Speaker 1: Mixon situation. I want te Higgins. I want Joe Burrows
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver. He's a study young wide receiver.
Speaker 1: And right now I'm loving my core. And before te
Speaker 1: Higgins went off for the board, we did see some
Speaker 1: more rookies. We saw Jamar Chase come off of the board,
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitch, Travis etn. But you know, I've got a
Speaker 1: young squad right now, and my running back corps is
Speaker 1: set for the next couple of years. And ye, it's
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why, especially in single quarterback leagues,
Speaker 1: I want to start running back, running back, running back.
Speaker 1: Is the pool looks really gross right now. I mean
Speaker 1: it's Carson and Gordon and Drake and Damian Harrison. We're
Speaker 1: only in the fifth round, so you know it just
Speaker 1: it gives you so much more flexibility whenever you lock
Speaker 1: up that core. And the wide receivers are so deep,
Speaker 1: incredibly deep right now, and man, this is a tough
Speaker 1: decision for me because I'm looking at some of the
Speaker 1: tight ends and there's one that I'm really into. But
Speaker 1: you know, I just can't pass up the value of
Speaker 1: this young stud wide receiver, Brandon i Uk. I don't
Speaker 1: think he's talked about enough as far as like the
Speaker 1: top five rookie wide receivers from last season, but i
Speaker 1: Uk in San Francisco hopefully with the quarterback upgrade soon,
Speaker 1: I love Iuk here to start my wide receiver corps.
Speaker 1: Higgins and Aiyuk. Yeah, I mean again, you're going super
Speaker 1: young here, but I still think that these are guys
Speaker 1: that can contribute in a big way. Liked Higgins, We
Speaker 1: already saw it. Brandon Aiyuk when he's healthy and on
Speaker 1: the field. And what happens if San Francisco does get
Speaker 1: a quarterback upgrade, You know, then at that point, I
Speaker 1: just continues to see his value increase. Courtland Sutton at
Speaker 1: the five oh three was really interesting. I was kind
Speaker 1: of eyeing him, Deontay Johnson, Cooper Cup, Javonte Williams. I
Speaker 1: was kind of hoping that he would fall to the
Speaker 1: five eleven. I would have a tough decision there, but
Speaker 1: he didn't. He went at the five oh six, guys
Speaker 1: like Kareem Hunt, Melvin Gordon, Kenya Drake. So you talked
Speaker 1: about it. That running back group looks pretty gross right now,
Speaker 1: and it dried up really quickly. I am looking at
Speaker 1: the wide receiver room again. I'm going to take. Who
Speaker 1: am I gonna take? I'm gonna take Robert Woods. You know,
Speaker 1: this is my guy that I had last year. I
Speaker 1: was hyping up last year in the in the redraft,
Speaker 1: you know, like leading up into the fan these FA
Speaker 1: Football season, I was telling everyone about Robert Woods. And
Speaker 1: and now you talk about Matthew Stafford as the starting
Speaker 1: quarterback there. I think Woods is in line for a big,
Speaker 1: big season, and not only just next year, but also
Speaker 1: for years to come. Right Like, he's still relatively young
Speaker 1: for the wide receiver position, shows no signs of slowing
Speaker 1: down anytime soon. So Woods here at the five eleven
Speaker 1: now to pair with Chris Godwin and my studs that
Speaker 1: I've got it running back. I feel like that's a
Speaker 1: pretty solid start. Now coming back here at the six
Speaker 1: or two, I'm looking at guys, I'm looking at the
Speaker 1: running back position, you know, Ronald Jones, Chris Carson, I mean,
Speaker 1: Damian Harris all the way up here. No, thank you.
Speaker 1: AJ Dillon is intriguing, you know now that he is
Speaker 1: the presumed, you know, locked and loaded starter there in
Speaker 1: Green Bay looking at the tight ends. I think I
Speaker 1: can wait nine, the pressure seven, the pressure six. Where
Speaker 1: you going, Yates? I did it? Man? Okay? Ob j
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about OBJ for a second really quick,
Speaker 1: before we get to your pick. I think the hate
Speaker 1: has gone too far on OBJ. Now. I get it
Speaker 1: that the injury history, the inconsistencies, I get it. But
Speaker 1: yet the talent level for him to be my wide
Speaker 1: receiver three in dynasty, to get him in the sixth round,
Speaker 1: I feel like that's too much to pass up. Now,
Speaker 1: I just got in an actual dynasty, Like I made
Speaker 1: a trade recently where I got I flipped second round
Speaker 1: picks and moved back in the second round, and then
Speaker 1: I flipped Tyler Boyd for OBJ. And I feel like
Speaker 1: that was a good trade because I wanted to get
Speaker 1: talent into the building quote unquote right and be able
Speaker 1: to bring in OBJ. And let's just assume that Baker
Speaker 1: lets him start to become a part of the system.
Speaker 1: Then that's something where you just operate within the system.
Speaker 1: I think Obj's in line for big season next year
Speaker 1: if he can stay healthy. Now you're up at the
Speaker 1: six to eleven. I talked a lot. Where are you going? Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is a player that I considered two rounds ago.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna dip my tone into the tight end
Speaker 1: pool and take TJ. Hockenson here at the six to
Speaker 1: eleven spot. The reason and you know the thing says
Speaker 1: I did a reach. There was a seventy seven percent
Speaker 1: chance Hockinson would be available at my next pick. I
Speaker 1: picked right here two spots later, and we saw something
Speaker 1: interesting happened. We saw Kyler Murray, Josh Allan, Justin Herbert,
Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson all go in the sixth round. And
Speaker 1: while in single quarterback leagues, I don't value the quarterback
Speaker 1: as highly as I do on super flex, I do
Speaker 1: think there is a little bit of an advantage of
Speaker 1: getting some of these dual Threatconami code quarterbacks here. And
Speaker 1: you know, I'm Deshaun Watson. For me, it is going
Speaker 1: to be the pick. It was between him, him or
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. And yes, Dak is locked up, but Watson
Speaker 1: is just incredible and I think wherever he goes outside
Speaker 1: of Houston and the horrid job that they've done surrounding
Speaker 1: him a talent last year. I think Watson is still
Speaker 1: an absolute star. He's gonna give you what, four or
Speaker 1: five hundred yards on the ground every year, be one
Speaker 1: of the top passers in the in the country, in
Speaker 1: the in the country, in the league. So Deshaun Watson,
Speaker 1: and he's still relatively young. So it fits my overall
Speaker 1: team philosophy. Give me the Shawn Watson here after all
Speaker 1: those quarterbacks went off the board. Any concern in a
Speaker 1: dynasty league to take him here at the seven oh
Speaker 1: two that he might, you know, with reports sit out
Speaker 1: this season. You know, if he did, worst case scenario,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be what twenty seven years old, twenty six
Speaker 1: years old in the next season. I'm not concerned. Give
Speaker 1: me the talent of the Shawn Watson. Yeah for sure. Okay,
Speaker 1: So the guy that I wanted, Dak, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: I wanted Dak Prescott. He went three picks after you.
Speaker 1: So he went at the seven oh five, Will Fuller,
Speaker 1: Jalen Rager after you, Chris Carson, Adam Feeling, Bateman at
Speaker 1: the seven o eight, Rashad Bateman, of course, the rookie
Speaker 1: incoming rookie. I'm at the seven eleven here, and I've
Speaker 1: evened out my running backs. I've even out my wide receivers.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look here at the available quarterbacks. Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: I think I can wait on him, right, I can
Speaker 1: get him here at my next pick. I am looking
Speaker 1: at some of these incoming running backs and I don't
Speaker 1: like any of them. I'm looking at wide receiver here
Speaker 1: and I am panicking, I'm gonna take Michael Pittman Junior
Speaker 1: because I had four seconds left on the freaking box. Okay, Now,
Speaker 1: I was scanning that list and I was like, crap, crap, crap,
Speaker 1: Like I just I didn't know and saw Pittman's name there.
Speaker 1: I am actually happy that I selected Pittman here. Now,
Speaker 1: value wise, I think I could wait a little bit,
Speaker 1: maybe even roll the dice here with another round and
Speaker 1: try to get him in the ninth round. But with
Speaker 1: the other wide receivers that were on the board, he
Speaker 1: was kind of up there in overall rankings and adp
Speaker 1: so Pittman here in line for a big season. I
Speaker 1: think I'm a big, big fan, and I think that
Speaker 1: he can provide that a little bit of insurance for
Speaker 1: me with OBJ to say that if OBJ doesn't work out, well,
Speaker 1: I have Pittman waiting in the wings to step in
Speaker 1: as that wide receiver four flex spot be able to
Speaker 1: step in and provide some solid play next year. I
Speaker 1: really really like his talent. And now you talk about
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is the quarterback there the upgrade that that
Speaker 1: can be. I really like that. Okay, I am going
Speaker 1: to go here at the ETO two, I'm gonna pull
Speaker 1: the trigger on my quarterback. And now this is not
Speaker 1: just because I'm a Bearrass fan. And there's a possible
Speaker 1: that Russell Wilson is sitting here in Chicago, you know,
Speaker 1: by next week potentially. No, regardless if Russell Wilson is
Speaker 1: still in Seattle next year, he's still going to be
Speaker 1: very very productive. To get him as my QB one, now,
Speaker 1: I do want to invest again pretty soon in another
Speaker 1: QB two, a solid QB two that can step in
Speaker 1: if Russ does start to see some of the inconsistencies
Speaker 1: that he had towards the end of last season. But
Speaker 1: at the eight O two to get him as my
Speaker 1: QB one, I feel fine with that. I really like
Speaker 1: that value. With him. So now we saw your guy,
Speaker 1: Rondale Moore go off the you know four, I was
Speaker 1: really interested to see if you were going to try
Speaker 1: to snag him. Terris Marshall, another rookie wide receiver, goes
Speaker 1: off the board eight to eleven. Here, where are you going? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hey, listen, my team is young. My team
Speaker 1: is young. It's explosive. I like what we're building over
Speaker 1: here on Team GQ, And I'm gonna take a player
Speaker 1: that I believe is going to be a first round
Speaker 1: pick in the NFL Draft. He's got the speed, the
Speaker 1: talent to be an absolute game changer. And I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take Jalen Waddle, the wide receiver out of Alabama. He's
Speaker 1: a Tier one wide receiver for me in the class.
Speaker 1: So him, Devanta Smith and Rondelmore my tier one wide receiver.
Speaker 1: So to get here him here at the age eleven,
Speaker 1: to add him to a pretty solid squad, I feel
Speaker 1: good about my wide receiver corps. And you know, as
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this play out, we didn't talk about
Speaker 1: DeVonta Smith. He went a couple couple of rounds ago.
Speaker 1: No offense just comes off the board here at the
Speaker 1: one pick before me. I probably could have waited on Hawkinson,
Speaker 1: like I probably and that's a mistake. Like, as I
Speaker 1: made the pick, I said, you know what, I was
Speaker 1: doing this positional like let me fill out my roster
Speaker 1: thing instead of talent, And I probably should have waited
Speaker 1: on that. But I still feel good and I want
Speaker 1: a piece of the Dallas Cowboys offense. And I know
Speaker 1: a lot of people just disregard Michael Gallop, but Callip
Speaker 1: is pretty damn good. He's talented, and if Dallas does
Speaker 1: not resign him, I believe he's got a chance to
Speaker 1: be a very very high priority free agent here after
Speaker 1: this season. So I'm gonna go ahead and take a
Speaker 1: piece of that Cowboys offense and draft Michael Gallop right
Speaker 1: here at the nine O two. People forget that Michael
Speaker 1: Gallup was actually like a contributor right when Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: was healthy towards the start of the season. There. Now
Speaker 1: he had a one massive game that really helped that,
Speaker 1: but yeah, at the same time, was still a solid
Speaker 1: flex play. Right. He brings you that upside where all
Speaker 1: it takes is one deep shot down field for him
Speaker 1: to make a difference. So yeah, I like that pick.
Speaker 1: There meant. Before we keep moving with today's episode, I
Speaker 1: want to take a second to tell you about Reality
Speaker 1: Sports Online. If you've been listening to this podcast for
Speaker 1: any length of time, you already know about Reality Sports Online,
Speaker 1: the powerful fantasy sports platform where owners get to build
Speaker 1: and manage their fantasy team like an NFL general manager.
Speaker 1: But the question is have you tried it? It's time
Speaker 1: to go see what all the buzz in the dynasty
Speaker 1: community is about. Everything from free agency, multi year contracts,
Speaker 1: franchise tag contract extensions, first round rookie options, a rookie draft,
Speaker 1: automated contract and salary cap functionality, and so much more
Speaker 1: can be found Reality Sports Online. Here's the thing, though,
Speaker 1: it's not as complicated as it sounds. The best thing
Speaker 1: about Reality Sports online Fantasy front office is that it
Speaker 1: doesn't take any more time than a standard league. It
Speaker 1: just requires more strategy. Do you think you're among the
Speaker 1: fantasy elite, Well, this is the platform to test it out.
Speaker 1: Still not sure? You can test out your general manager
Speaker 1: skills for free in a mock free agency auction. I

Speaker 1: a ten percent discount on your team or league. Today
Speaker 1: Fantasy just got real at Reality sports online dot com.
Speaker 1: All right, so I am looking now at running back
Speaker 1: because it's about to get pretty pretty gross here. So
Speaker 1: if it isn't right, I'm here's how gross it is, folks.
Speaker 1: I'm legitimately thinking about pulling the trigger on Leonard Fournette
Speaker 1: at the nine to eleven my roster so far, I've
Speaker 1: got Nick Chubb, Aaron Jones, Joe Mix and at this point,
Speaker 1: whoever I draft here is not going to need to
Speaker 1: be a starter on my roster. But we talked about
Speaker 1: on the free agency episode that what happens if Leonard
Speaker 1: Fournette does sign with you know, a cheap deal. He
Speaker 1: signs with someone like Pittsburgh. Right, Pittsburgh needs a running
Speaker 1: back this offseason, and they can bring in Fournette for
Speaker 1: a one year, four or million dollars five million dollar
Speaker 1: deal whatever. At that point, he's still a very very
Speaker 1: serviceable starter for next season. If nothing else, he'll be
Speaker 1: a rotational part of a backfield can still provide me
Speaker 1: solid depth. So I'm gonna pull the trigger here with
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette at the nine to eleven. We got Curtis
Speaker 1: Samuel going at the ten oh one, and now let's
Speaker 1: take a look here at my options at tight end. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not messing around, dude. You want to call out
Speaker 1: this pick of who I'm taking here at the ten
Speaker 1: oh two at tight end? Are you going John? I'm
Speaker 1: going John U? Man, I've you know, it's another one
Speaker 1: of those like roll the dice picks with Aaron Jones
Speaker 1: that I mentioned earlier, Like with choosing John you here,
Speaker 1: there's a potential that he was there at my next
Speaker 1: pick for sure, but yet I didn't want to lose
Speaker 1: out on that possibility. And again we've talked about any
Speaker 1: I think, really any of the destinations that bring in
Speaker 1: the teams that bring in John U, whoever it may
Speaker 1: be this offseason in free agency, is going to have
Speaker 1: a clear plan of how to use him. They're going
Speaker 1: to pay him a lot of money, and I think
Speaker 1: that he's going to be utilized to the best of
Speaker 1: his abilities. So if that ends up being in New York,
Speaker 1: the Jets that I've talked about that fit in, what
Speaker 1: that could mean, or if it's in New England, or
Speaker 1: if it's in Jacksonville and they get the quarterback upgrade
Speaker 1: with Trevor Lawrence whatever. I think that he's going to
Speaker 1: be a really really solid fantasy option moving yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got tightest gun for me. He's got the talent, man,
Speaker 1: so don't hate it, and you need it to tight
Speaker 1: end here, I am at eleven O two spot, and listen,
Speaker 1: this is a player that if what happens, if if
Speaker 1: what plays out in Chicago, if we think that plays
Speaker 1: out with Russell Wilson, wheels up for Darnell Mooney. He
Speaker 1: fits my overall draft scheme of what I'm trying to
Speaker 1: do staying young. I'm a big believer in Mooney's talent um.
Speaker 1: You know he's he's got that speed. Alan Robinson to
Speaker 1: be back so he doesn't have to be the number
Speaker 1: one wide receiver. But right here in the tenth round
Speaker 1: to get Darniell Mooney as as my first bench spot,
Speaker 1: I really like that pick. And now we're sitting here
Speaker 1: and this is why you got to start running back early,
Speaker 1: because it is It is not good, it is not pretty,
Speaker 1: and this is part of the I caution you all
Speaker 1: with the productive struggle approach where you're taking a bunch
Speaker 1: of young guys. I'm looking at these running backs now,
Speaker 1: and if I go with a rookie running back, I mean,
Speaker 1: I know I'm reaching so that at some point all
Speaker 1: the young rookie talent kind of runs out. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take some insurance for Deshaun Watson. And I want
Speaker 1: to get a young stud quarterback that provides dual threat,
Speaker 1: the Konami code ability, that can get me some rushing
Speaker 1: yards on the ground and be dynamic through the air.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna take Justin Fields here at the eleven
Speaker 1: O two spot. Oh, that was not where I thought
Speaker 1: you were going. I'm going Justin Fields now, I my
Speaker 1: you know, Trevor Lawrence went off the board around before
Speaker 1: I've locked up my quarterbacks. I feel good won't touch one,
Speaker 1: probably to the very last pick. I thought for sure
Speaker 1: you were going with Jalen Hurts there, who was sitting
Speaker 1: there at the top of the you know, recommended rankings.
Speaker 1: But no, I love the pick of Justin Fields. Like
Speaker 1: with Fields, wherever he gets drafted, we know that he's
Speaker 1: gonna have two years minimum to prove himself in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, the rope might not be that lomp right,
Speaker 1: Like what happens if he does struggle this year, well
Speaker 1: then they're gonna be drafting another quarterback next season. So no,
Speaker 1: totally totally loved that pick there. Okay, So I'm up
Speaker 1: at the eleven eleven and I'm looking at running back
Speaker 1: here and because I do want to just continue to
Speaker 1: build out that depth, and I'm looking at guys like
Speaker 1: Niim Hines. No, not really, Alexander Madison. That's more of
Speaker 1: a pick. If you have Dalvin Cook on your roster. JD. McKissick,
Speaker 1: is Gus Edwards, you know what I am. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: rule the dice here with Gus Edwards. I you know,
Speaker 1: we just finished talking about Gus Edwards with you know,
Speaker 1: his second round tender and everything like that. He's going
Speaker 1: to have a role in this offense. And again he's
Speaker 1: a he's a depth running back for me. I'm not
Speaker 1: drafting him to be my RB three, RB two or
Speaker 1: anything like that. So Gus Edwards, I can leave him
Speaker 1: there on my bench. I can let him sit and
Speaker 1: then if I do, if I do see some injuries
Speaker 1: happen to the top tier guys that I have in
Speaker 1: my roster, well then that's okay. I can plug in
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards and know that he's gonna at least get
Speaker 1: those seven to ten carries per game, maybe even more
Speaker 1: heading into next season if we do see more of
Speaker 1: a balanced approach there with JK. Dobbins. So now I'm
Speaker 1: looking at some of these wide receivers that are on
Speaker 1: the board. I'm looking at Darius Slayton, Sterling Shepherd, Jamison
Speaker 1: Crowd are not really None of those guys are really
Speaker 1: doing it for me. I mean I look even further
Speaker 1: down the list and it's again, it's getting gross pretty quick.
Speaker 1: This is part of the strategy with Dynasty. You know
Speaker 1: this is so I'm gonna I'm gonna provide a little
Speaker 1: bit of insurance here at the tight end position for me.
Speaker 1: With three seconds left on the clock, I probably could
Speaker 1: have waited for this guy, but with Kyle Rudolph leaving Minnesota,
Speaker 1: now I'm gonna pull the trigger on IRV Smith Junior.
Speaker 1: I like it. No, I don't think he could have waited.
Speaker 1: I don't think you could have waited. I think that
Speaker 1: was a good pick. I don't think he was gonna
Speaker 1: make it back to you. I don't. Yeah. So, I
Speaker 1: mean if if John who doesn't sign any you know,
Speaker 1: offense that is conducive for fantasy football or whatever, right
Speaker 1: like worst case scenario, Well then that's okay because I've
Speaker 1: got Irv Smith heading into next season, who I think
Speaker 1: is poised for a breakout campaign, so I can get
Speaker 1: him out of my roster. There is a little bit
Speaker 1: of insurance. Again, It's kind of punting the tight end position,
Speaker 1: if you will. I didn't take one of the top
Speaker 1: tier guys, but the proving guys. But yet, I do
Speaker 1: think that I'm gonna throw as many darts as I
Speaker 1: can at that position, and I think I've got two
Speaker 1: guys that have an excellent chance of hitting bulls either.
Speaker 1: So twelve eleven for you. I'm st Brown. Brian Edwards
Speaker 1: went off the board before you. Who are we're looking at?
Speaker 1: This is just I mean, it is. It is disgusting.
Speaker 1: He got eight, We still got eight rounds. I'm I'm reached.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I can't find him. I'm going young,
Speaker 1: I'm sticking with the strategy, and I went Tyler Johnson,
Speaker 1: wide receiver from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. You know, I
Speaker 1: don't know if Antonio Brown is coming back, but I
Speaker 1: liked what Johnson was able to show at the end
Speaker 1: of last season. He's young, He's a bench spot for me.
Speaker 1: You know, they did tag Chris Godwin, which leads me
Speaker 1: to believe after this season one of either Godwin or
Speaker 1: Evans probably won't be back. And uh, you know, I
Speaker 1: want a piece of of of that offense. I think
Speaker 1: Tyler Johnson is extremely talented, so get another young wide
Speaker 1: receiver to add as a depth piece. I like it.
Speaker 1: And listen, running back is terrible. I mean it is
Speaker 1: not good, and I am just going out on pure
Speaker 1: faith right here that with Chris Carson hitting free agency,
Speaker 1: Rashad Penny is going to get a shot. So here
Speaker 1: at the thirteen oh two, I take my fourth running
Speaker 1: back in the first running back since round three, and
Speaker 1: I feel good with a shot. Penny is a bench dash.
Speaker 1: How the hell do I just get sniped on Rashad
Speaker 1: Penny in the thirteenth round of a dynasty startup? I literally,
Speaker 1: I'm not even like go back and watch the YouTube
Speaker 1: clip of this, because I'm recording my screen for this.
Speaker 1: I just added Rashade Penny to my que, not even joking.
Speaker 1: I added him to my que was ready to pull
Speaker 1: the trigger at my next spot if he was still there,
Speaker 1: and of course you draft him. Yeah, all right, let's
Speaker 1: go back to the drawing board here. Let's see if
Speaker 1: we can get in some talent, some young talent here
Speaker 1: at wide receiver on my roster. kJ Handler staring me
Speaker 1: in the face, Darius Oh, Darius Slayton, Yeah, as my
Speaker 1: white what is he? My wide receiver six or seven?
Speaker 1: At this point, I think I'll pull the trigger here
Speaker 1: on Darius Slayton. Now I'm not super crazy, I'm not
Speaker 1: the biggest Darius Slayton supporter out there, but back into
Speaker 1: the thirteenth round as my depth wide receiver, I know
Speaker 1: that he's got a role. Some of these other guys
Speaker 1: James A. Crowd or Paris Campbell, Marvin Jones, Junior John
Speaker 1: Brown that are t Y Hilton, kJ Handler that are
Speaker 1: sitting there at the top of this recommendations here. I mean,
Speaker 1: at that point, man, I just I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: pull the trigger on the guy who I know is
Speaker 1: going to be on the field. Yeah, yeah, yeah, good pick.
Speaker 1: I like it. He would have been one of my guys.
Speaker 1: I promise you that. All right, So let's see, uh
Speaker 1: fourteen O two here, Evan Abraham went off the board
Speaker 1: leaby on Bell two guys that I was not going
Speaker 1: to be selecting. So looking at the quarterback here, I
Speaker 1: talked about that I've got Russell Wilson there that I
Speaker 1: can build around. And then looking at a QB two here,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to do that. Um,
Speaker 1: you do do it? You want to? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't. No, I don't, UM gonna go. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with a player, a young runnie back here. Actually,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with a young runnie back who I
Speaker 1: think actually has a significant chance of making a contribution
Speaker 1: in year two. Now, I was a big fan of
Speaker 1: his tape coming out of Maryland hitting into year two
Speaker 1: with Pittsburgh. Anthony McFarlane. Now this is a dark throw right,
Speaker 1: but at the running back position, I do want to
Speaker 1: load up with some of these guys, excuse me, some
Speaker 1: of these guys that can hit if everything breaks their way. Now,
Speaker 1: I mentioned that the scenario of what plays out for
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette this this or this, But Leonard Fournette is
Speaker 1: going to need a compliment piece to be the receiver
Speaker 1: out of that backfield, which is the change of pace
Speaker 1: role that Anthony McFarlane can fill. Now, if let's say
Speaker 1: that Pittsburgh doesn't add a running back, then McFarland is
Speaker 1: the next guy in line. I don't think that they're
Speaker 1: going to roll with just Benny Snell. I think they
Speaker 1: want to see what McFarland can do. They drafted him
Speaker 1: last year. He was going to take a year to
Speaker 1: sit and learn, and I think that he is poised
Speaker 1: free breakouts too strong of a word, but I think
Speaker 1: he can have a solid year too. So all right,
Speaker 1: Ramander Stevenson went at the fourteen O nine, which was Mantamori,
Speaker 1: and Terry went one pick before you. I would have
Speaker 1: been interesting to see if you would have considered him
Speaker 1: here where are you going? At eleven? I wanted him
Speaker 1: and I got sniped. So I'll just take my highest
Speaker 1: rated rookie wide receiver that left, and it's Elijah Moore
Speaker 1: out of Old miss you know, dynamic slot receiver. He's
Speaker 1: gonna have to be used in the slot at the
Speaker 1: next level. But at this point with the team that
Speaker 1: I'm building, this is the strategy that I chose, so
Speaker 1: I have to stick with it like this. This is
Speaker 1: where we're at, and the running backs are. I would
Speaker 1: be interested to see when we selected running back next.
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts went off of the board right after my
Speaker 1: Elijah Moore pick, which makes me just like I just
Speaker 1: wish I would have just waited with that second quarterback.
Speaker 1: You know, these are lessons. This is why these things
Speaker 1: are important to do. Come on over to Fantasy Pros
Speaker 1: and get your mock drafts and to kind of prepare
Speaker 1: you for the rookie drafts and especially dynasty leagues. Right, so,
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here the fifteen o two and the player
Speaker 1: that you know I've talked about on the show multiple
Speaker 1: times that I really really like, I want to add
Speaker 1: some depth to my tight end position. He's a younger
Speaker 1: player for the position and he's attached to a Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame quarterback, Aaron Rodgers. Robert Tanyan is my selection
Speaker 1: here at the fifteen oh two. Yeah. I remember looking
Speaker 1: at the tight end position six or seven rounds ago
Speaker 1: and remember seeing his name and it was like, I figure,
Speaker 1: at some point Ray is going to be pulling the
Speaker 1: trigger on roberts Onion. All right, so I'm up here.
Speaker 1: We saw Darius Tony Ego before Kiki Qt. I mean
Speaker 1: the running backs here, James White, Marlon Mack. You know,
Speaker 1: thank you so looking at potentially adding some youth. You're
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. There's no one really jumping off the
Speaker 1: page except for do I want to do this here? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm going to add kJ Hamdler Dever, Broncos wide receiver.
Speaker 1: I was a big, big fan of his coming out
Speaker 1: of Penn State. I mean, you're talking about speed, and
Speaker 1: Denver has been rumored. With a lot of these other quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: I think the quarterback position can only be upgraded. You
Speaker 1: know what happens if they get aggressive in the draft
Speaker 1: and they trade up to the number two, number three spot.
Speaker 1: At that point, it's a quarterback upgrade that kJ Hamdler
Speaker 1: is going to be on the field for. With Courtland Sutton,
Speaker 1: of course, he's not going to be, you know, a
Speaker 1: heavily targeted guy, but again, he was kind of raw
Speaker 1: coming out, so a year to adjust to the NFL
Speaker 1: level and I've got him for the long term. So
Speaker 1: I really like getting kJ Hamler. Again, we're at the
Speaker 1: back end of the fifteenth round, so it's hard to
Speaker 1: be looking at these guys and and criticizing them at
Speaker 1: this at this spot of the draft. All right, Jamison
Speaker 1: Crowd or Latavius Murray. Murray would have been a good
Speaker 1: pick there. He went one pick before at the sixteen
Speaker 1: oh one. I'm back on the clock. I'm looking at
Speaker 1: some of these quarterbacks to a tongue of Byloa, Carson Wentz,
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, Matt Ryan, Jared Goff. These are all guys
Speaker 1: that are sitting there. Yeah, I'm gonna get spicy man.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make sure that I at least get my guy.
Speaker 1: And we've talked about this quarterback extensively here on this
Speaker 1: podcast already. Oh yeah, I can go back in a
Speaker 1: couple rounds and I can get one of these veteran
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that someone's gonna you know that people are just
Speaker 1: gonna let fall. I can wait and I can go
Speaker 1: back and at least get some insurance. If Tree Lance
Speaker 1: does not end up playing this year, which some people
Speaker 1: are projecting that he's gonna have to sit, he's gonna
Speaker 1: have to develop. I really don't think that's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be like two games throughout the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one season, and then you know, whatever team
Speaker 1: drafts him is gonna be like, yeah, why are we
Speaker 1: having this guy sit right? We need to get it.
Speaker 1: We need to get him on the field. These talented,
Speaker 1: supremely talented can make a big difference. So Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: and the Trey Lance are my two quarterbacks. It's not
Speaker 1: exactly a rock solid room, but yet I can double
Speaker 1: back here and maybe round twenty right, but my last
Speaker 1: pick and I can grab another quarterback one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: You can get a veteran. Nobody wants those guys in
Speaker 1: dynasty startups, so I think it was good to get
Speaker 1: your guy there, get your young talent there, and then
Speaker 1: steal a veteran later. I think that was a smart
Speaker 1: move because Trey Lance probably would not have made it
Speaker 1: back to you. So here I am at the sixteen eleven.
Speaker 1: I got back to back picks, and hey, productive struggle.
Speaker 1: Gonna go with my highest rated rookie wide receiver. That's
Speaker 1: Dammy Brown, the wide receiver out in North Carolina. Back
Speaker 1: to back thousand yards seasons. You know, I've seen some
Speaker 1: parisons to a Will Fuller that can stay healthy for Brown.
Speaker 1: So you know, doing dynasty startups now is risky because
Speaker 1: we don't know where these rookies are gonna land, but
Speaker 1: you turn on the tape. I believe in the talent.
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be a solid NFL wide receiver.
Speaker 1: May not be a star, but I like what he
Speaker 1: brings to the table. And here, towards the end of
Speaker 1: my draft is a bench piece. It's okay. Hopefully in
Speaker 1: a couple of years he pans out. Now, I really
Speaker 1: want to get a fifth running back. I really do.
Speaker 1: I really do, But it is I almost feel like
Speaker 1: I'm just wasting a pick with any of these guys
Speaker 1: at this point. For my team. I mean, we've got
Speaker 1: Lynn Bowden, Junior, Michael p Ryan, Damian Williams. I literally
Speaker 1: feel like that would be wasting a selection. So here,
Speaker 1: oh boy, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna believe in Matt
Speaker 1: Stafford and maybe he can turn this former second round
Speaker 1: pick into something in the second season. And I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go Van Jefferson. The Rams are not ringing back. I
Speaker 1: don't think they're bringing back Josh Reynolds. Joe Everett, isn't
Speaker 1: he on the move? So yeah, no, Van Jefferson's gonna
Speaker 1: have every opportunity to be that third wide receiver on
Speaker 1: a team that has a better quarterback. So here we
Speaker 1: go out to seventeen o two Van Jefferson. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to criticize that pick because he's a
Speaker 1: second round pick from last season. You know, they clearly
Speaker 1: have a plan for him. Now I don't know how
Speaker 1: exactly that fits. You know, that was even a head
Speaker 1: scratching decision for me last season trying to figure out
Speaker 1: what where exactly he fits. But for you, it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter at this spot. Like take the talent, take the
Speaker 1: draft capital, because that will carry long term. Okay, so
Speaker 1: seventeen eleven here, I would love to add another running back,
Speaker 1: but some of these guys are just not looking super enticing. Man.
Speaker 1: I mean the guy who I think I was going
Speaker 1: to take a shot on, Darrnton Evans if he fell
Speaker 1: to me as that kind of change of pace back
Speaker 1: with Derrick Henry. I think that Evans could work his
Speaker 1: way into a role next season. But I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: a shot here on la Michael Ryan. Let's say let's
Speaker 1: say that New York just adds a complimentary piece right
Speaker 1: this upcoming off season and they move forward with the
Speaker 1: Michael P. Ryan on the roster. Let's say the coaching
Speaker 1: staff that they have there now actually likes what they see.
Speaker 1: The likelihood of that happening probably minimal. I do expect
Speaker 1: them to add a running back at some point right
Speaker 1: whether through free agency or the draft, and p Ryan
Speaker 1: will be a backup running back, but to get him
Speaker 1: at the seventeen eleven, the back end of the seventeenth
Speaker 1: round in a dynasty startup, I feel like that's fine.
Speaker 1: I don't need him to turn into anything. If he does,
Speaker 1: it's an added benefit. If not, Okay, I really I didn't.
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't spend significant draft capital get him,
Speaker 1: so it doesn't really make much of a difference. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I'm back at the eighteen oh two we saw
Speaker 1: Nikuil Harry and Linn Bowden go at the seventeen twelve
Speaker 1: and eighteen oh one. I'm gonna pull I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: a shot and take Nelson Agilare here now, Aglare, I think,
Speaker 1: obviously very rocky NFL career up to this point, didn't
Speaker 1: make it in Philly. You know, obviously we know just
Speaker 1: the backstory there and everything that happened, and worked essentially
Speaker 1: worked his way out bust of a pick, but then
Speaker 1: lands here in Las Vegas, this past season that makes
Speaker 1: a significant impact, right, like, actually put together a solid season.
Speaker 1: So I think he's worked his way into some money.
Speaker 1: I don't know where that's going to be. I don't
Speaker 1: know what that role is going to look like, but
Speaker 1: I do think that he's going to find a home
Speaker 1: here in free agency, and whether it is back in
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, that's fine. You know, he performed last year,
Speaker 1: so a depth wide receiver for me. I don't even
Speaker 1: know what wide receiver he is and my roster at
Speaker 1: this point. I'll look it up in a second, but
Speaker 1: at that point, I don't care. You know, he's my
Speaker 1: super super depth wide receiver if he turns into something again,
Speaker 1: this is the spot of the draft as we near
Speaker 1: the end where I just want the dart throws. I
Speaker 1: want to take the guys that let's see what happens
Speaker 1: to him. Let's see if they turn into something. Right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's where we're at, and I don't think
Speaker 1: Aglar was a bad pick at all. Right here, I've
Speaker 1: got a couple of picks left, so I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with the player who's getting a lot of buzz after
Speaker 1: the pro day to day. But like his stature, I
Speaker 1: like his build. He's got a shot to be, you know,
Speaker 1: a decent slot receiver, maybe a utility guy at the
Speaker 1: next level in a Maari Rodgers, the wide receiver out
Speaker 1: of Clemson. And I'm here, Uh well, I actually have
Speaker 1: one more pick after this, but I don't believe that
Speaker 1: this rookie will fall back Timmy, and I'm taking a
Speaker 1: page out of your book, Yates. I'm taking a page
Speaker 1: out of your book because even though I don't have
Speaker 1: him ranked extremely high, it's hard to ignore the NFL
Speaker 1: draft buzz around around his player, Dwayne Eskridge. If he
Speaker 1: is a first late early second round pick, he's gonna
Speaker 1: get an opportunity to play. He's got you know, home
Speaker 1: run hitting ability and speed and we see, you know,
Speaker 1: when those players fire at the next level, they can
Speaker 1: be big time producers in the NFL. And Estridges, He's
Speaker 1: not a player that's gonna have to start for me
Speaker 1: at all. With my roster and with a young team
Speaker 1: like this, I don't mind him here at my second
Speaker 1: to last pick. So I'm gonna go Dwayne Eskridge. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I really like that. He wasn't even on my radar.
Speaker 1: I hadn't scrolled down far enough to find him. Otherwise
Speaker 1: I probably would have selected him a round or two before,
Speaker 1: and so to get him at the beginning of the
Speaker 1: nineteenth round. Man As again you mentioned it depth wide receiver.
Speaker 1: For you, I really like that pick. Okay, nineteen eleven.
Speaker 1: Here for me, I'm with my last two picks, so
Speaker 1: I am looking at my roster here and I've got
Speaker 1: some solid running back depth. I like the running backs
Speaker 1: that I've gotten place. I don't think that I need
Speaker 1: to look that way again because it's super gross. I
Speaker 1: feel like, again you said, like wasting a pick. I
Speaker 1: do feel like that would be the case here for me.
Speaker 1: But I talked about wanting to add another quarterback, and
Speaker 1: then I've got Keeling Cole here sitting and staring me
Speaker 1: in the face. Now, I would not be a Kyle
Speaker 1: Yates draft if I did not walk out of this
Speaker 1: draft without Johnny Smith, Trey Lance, and Keelan Cole. So
Speaker 1: let's pull the trigger here Kealing Cole at the at
Speaker 1: the end of the nineteenth round, and then let's look
Speaker 1: at the start of the twentieth. I said that I
Speaker 1: wanted to double back and grab a veteran quarterback, a
Speaker 1: guy who you know was going to fall, was going
Speaker 1: to sit there. I knew that, Uh you know, I
Speaker 1: could let Derek Carr, for example, he's sitting here right now,
Speaker 1: and I knew that he was going to still be here.
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, Jameis Winston is a potential, but there's too
Speaker 1: much volatility there and just don't know what his situation
Speaker 1: is going to be. I know what Derek Carr is
Speaker 1: going to bring me, and as a solid QB two,
Speaker 1: QB three right that those hybrid players right like on
Speaker 1: my roster where I can just look at Trey Lance,
Speaker 1: I can look at Derek Carr. Derek Carr can be
Speaker 1: the stop gap until Lance gets up to speed and
Speaker 1: then he could potentially be that QB one for me
Speaker 1: down the road. So I'll take Derek Carr here to
Speaker 1: end out my draft and pairing with Russell Wilson and
Speaker 1: Trey Lance. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I like that. I
Speaker 1: like you said. I like how you said this wouldn't
Speaker 1: be a Kyle Yate's draft without m cole And I'm here.
Speaker 1: These are the last this is my last pick. It's
Speaker 1: it's the second to last pick overall in this marketing.
Speaker 1: I was looking at Pat Friar muth. I was also
Speaker 1: looking at jvarm Hawkins to add another young running back
Speaker 1: to my core of four. But you know what, I
Speaker 1: you know, this would not be a Ray GQ draft
Speaker 1: without taking one of the best rookie quarterbacks in this draft.
Speaker 1: I'm bypassing Tom Brady. No, thank you, Jared Goff, Taysom Hill, yuck,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. You're about to be replaced. You know where
Speaker 1: I'm going. You know where I'm going, Yates? Mac who
Speaker 1: mac Jones here at the twenty eleven sign me up?
Speaker 1: Boom mac Jones, Let's get it. Yeah, he's worth the
Speaker 1: shot man. It's really interesting. Zach Wilson is still sitting
Speaker 1: there on the board like he didn't go draft. He
Speaker 1: didn't get drafted in this in this mock draft, so
Speaker 1: still sitting there. But yeah, I'd like the pick there
Speaker 1: of mac Jones at the end. Again, you gotta you
Speaker 1: gotta stay on brand. You gotta stay on brand there
Speaker 1: at the end of your draft. So all right, Ray,
Speaker 1: go ahead and run through your team. Let's see what
Speaker 1: you got here and just yeah, just run down your
Speaker 1: ross alright. So I've got DeShawn Watson, Jonathan Taylor, Cam Acres,
Speaker 1: Naji Harris, T. Higgins, Brandon I Yuk, Michael Gallup, T J. Hockinson.
Speaker 1: That's my starting that's my starting roster, and then the
Speaker 1: flex positions Robert Tonyan, Darnell Mooney, Benches, Rasha Penney, Justin Fields,
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle, Van Jefferson, Tyler Johnson, Elijah Moore, Mac Jones,
Speaker 1: Dammy Brown, Dwayne Eskridge, Amari Rodgers. Looking at that roster
Speaker 1: like hearing you run through it. At Jalen Waddle, the
Speaker 1: value that you got him at was just fantastic, you know,
Speaker 1: Like I hear that you've got Jalen Waddle sitting there
Speaker 1: on your bench, and I'm like, dang it, you know,
Speaker 1: like I should have taken him. That was fantastic value
Speaker 1: for where you got him. All right, let me run
Speaker 1: down my roster. I've got Russell Wilson at quarterback, Nick Chubb,
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, and Joe Mixon as the starting running backs,
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin, Robert Woods, Ob j and then Johnny Smith
Speaker 1: at the tight end spot. And then my flex Leonard Fournette,
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman Junior, and then my bench Er Smith Junior,
Speaker 1: Darius Layton, Derek Carr, Gus Edwards, kJ Hammler, Anthony McFarland,
Speaker 1: Junior Nelson, Aguilar, Trey lance La, Michael p Ryan, and
Speaker 1: then Keelan Cole. How do you feel about your team right?
Speaker 1: Do you feel like this is this is going to
Speaker 1: be a championship contender in year one or is it
Speaker 1: absolutely not a couple of years down the road? Absolutely not.
Speaker 1: I think this team would have some good boom weeks,
Speaker 1: but this is a roster where you know, I would
Speaker 1: really want it to be. It's not bad enough to
Speaker 1: finish last, but I really want to finish towards the
Speaker 1: back back half of my dynasty league in order to
Speaker 1: secure higher picks in twenty twenty two, because I think
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, you know, if Higgins takes a
Speaker 1: step forward, I U takes that step forward. Gallup, situation changes,
Speaker 1: Money takes a step forward. Wattle's got a season under
Speaker 1: his belt. With these three young running backs, Deshaun Watson
Speaker 1: on a new team, I think in twenty twenty two,
Speaker 1: I think I could have a very very strong team.
Speaker 1: This was a productive struggle like approach. I don't think
Speaker 1: I took a player. I think Deshaun Watson maybe the
Speaker 1: oldest player that I drafted in this entire thing, him
Speaker 1: and Tanyan. So Nope, this is not a team to
Speaker 1: compete this season. But I actually I absolutely love the cores,
Speaker 1: and I think I have players to where I've got
Speaker 1: I've got room to trade at justin fields if he
Speaker 1: balls out year one and somebody's like I need that
Speaker 1: economic code quarterback. I've got Mac Jones still there. I
Speaker 1: have Deshaun Watson. I can trade fields and get some value.
Speaker 1: So your roster would dominate mine in a head to
Speaker 1: head matchup this season. But this is how I like
Speaker 1: the dynasty. I like youth, I like talent, and I
Speaker 1: really like this roster. Yeah, man, I'm looking at my roster,
Speaker 1: like the starting roster I feel like is super strong.
Speaker 1: Like I feel like that can hang with pretty much
Speaker 1: any roster across you know, my league or whatever. But
Speaker 1: then I get to the bench and I'm like, I
Speaker 1: don't really love this right and so I wish I
Speaker 1: wish I looking at this, I wish that I would
Speaker 1: have gone back in prioritized rookies, like those incoming players
Speaker 1: that are coming at the discount now, you know, like
Speaker 1: just to have some more exciting players you know, like
Speaker 1: Nelson Agilar. Okay, he's fine, but he doesn't really like
Speaker 1: do much for me, like Healan Cole Yes, but yeah,
Speaker 1: he's also older. You know, Darius Slayton. I'm not the
Speaker 1: biggest Darius Slayton fan, but where I got him was
Speaker 1: fine value. But just being able to look at my
Speaker 1: roster and say, like, Okay, I'm really excited because I
Speaker 1: have a Dwayne Escrits on my roster. I have you
Speaker 1: know these in these incoming rookies that I'm big, big
Speaker 1: fans of that are just going to set me up
Speaker 1: for you know, years to come potentially. I wish I
Speaker 1: would have prioritized that a little bit more when we
Speaker 1: got to the bench spot specifically, so, but overall, I'm
Speaker 1: pretty happy with this roster. Again, we'll be putting these
Speaker 1: out on social media. We'll see, uh well, we'll let
Speaker 1: the people vote and see who is they like. Let's
Speaker 1: be honest, he is probably gonna win because you're just
Speaker 1: the greatest on social media. Gosh, get out of here.
Speaker 1: No legitimately your roster. I mean, you're running back court
Speaker 1: mix and who is your other running back that you got? Jones?
Speaker 1: I mean, dude, I was listening to it, Chris Godwin,
Speaker 1: I mean I really like, like you said, I think
Speaker 1: you're starting. You're starting roster is is lethal. And then
Speaker 1: you got players like Irv Smith, you know, as your
Speaker 1: second tight end. Uh, Aaron, I mean you got a
Speaker 1: really good team. I think the lesson that I learned,
Speaker 1: and I just want to say this is single quarterback
Speaker 1: leagues are tricky because you don't want to let those
Speaker 1: guys fall too far, but then you also don't want
Speaker 1: to reach. I think Fields was a reach for me.
Speaker 1: I also think t J. Hopkinson I could have waited
Speaker 1: and gotten a nervous Smith as my tight end one
Speaker 1: or Robert Tonyan much later. Um. Just those were the
Speaker 1: two big mistakes that I made. But what I absolutely
Speaker 1: loved was prioritizing running back because it just, I mean
Speaker 1: it got ugly. Like round seven, it was you cannot
Speaker 1: play around in dynasty startups with your running back. You can't. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I love that I started the first three round with
Speaker 1: going running back because I knew that again and this
Speaker 1: was my first like mock draft of the season. I
Speaker 1: wasn't lying about that yet, but to be able to
Speaker 1: soak up that I knew that running back was going
Speaker 1: to dry up really quickly, so to be able to
Speaker 1: get those guys there. This is a super fun exercise. Man.
Speaker 1: It was a ton of fun to be able to
Speaker 1: sit down again. I mentioned my first mock draft of
Speaker 1: the season. Happy to do that with you and of
Speaker 1: course with all the people here listening to the Fantasy
