SUPER Mock Draft Episode! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 7/28

Jason's peeking over. Yeah, I mean, technically I wrote down two combos. Those are the two combos I thought. Well, whoa, wait a minute. So you wrote down like four guys? Listen. No, I wrote down one guy twice and then I just couldn't decide between the other one. All right, all right. So I wrote them both down. Okay. If I write enough names down, I will be right. That's where I was getting at? But I, you know, you just said you think I'll get it right. So where are you going here at the turn? So I'm taking a tight end, guys.

So I'm taking Mr. Loveland. I want that positional advantage. I know it'll, it's like T. McBride. So you have McBride and Higgins and you're like, wow, are you sure you want T. Higgins as your wide receiver one? He's, he is, but he's not. Like, T. McBride is your wide receiver one. And T. Higgins, like, it's, it's just a different way to, to approach it. But Mr. Loveland at 412 and, man.

Malik is interesting here to try and build a team that will just get better and better and better. But I know that Zayflowers won't make it back to me, so I'm just going to take him. Yeah, I mean, my entire prediction was predicated on you taking Luther Burden. And you went with his teammate, Colston Loveland. Because we say that. Like, in the gang wars, in the street fight that is Luther Burden versus Roma Dunzee.

We're snapping. Yeah. I'm a burden guy. And they're like, I'm a Rome guy. And then Colston Loveland just shows up with like a nuke. And he's like, it was me all along, you idiots. Well, I'll go that way. I know you love Zayflowers. I know you love Colston Loveland. Those are the picks. Neighbors does go next. Tyler Warren, off the board in the fifth round. Three picks behind. Kyle and Shambles because I didn't let him get Loveland. Oh, he would never.

Oh, he would because he's trying to overcompensate for how much he hates him. He hates him so much. Oh, that would have been the, yeah, that would have been like the first step towards redemption in the public eye. It's the, I'm taking him away from you. You don't get to have fun. That's true. Jason, you're back on the clock. You do have the double quarterback so far. For what it's worth, through four rounds, there are, what is this? One, two, three teams that have both quarterbacks.

Yeah, and so for me... So how do you feel with it being, so Abuka, Loveland, Flowers, Neighbors, Warren? Do you feel like you got away with it? Oh, yeah, yeah. I mean, I was between two players on the last time I picked other than in the quarterback position. It was the guy I'm going to take or Ibuka. And so the guy I was going to take already felt to me. So I'm pretty happy there. But the question that I would be having and that I do have, when you have two quarterbacks here and you're at the fifth pick,

you're going to be weak at one, like by the time it comes back, my running back or wide receiver, I'm not going to like who's left. I'm just not. And so why I'm going to pick a wide receiver is because I've got Bijan. I think I can play more HeroRB here. And so Drake London is a little bit weaker than Bijan, so I'm going to go wide receiver.

You guys know how much I love Gino Smith. So I will take Garrett Wilson. I had a feeling Garrett was going to be, I thought he might be the 409. He was the target for me in this round. But so Garrett, I know that's the direction you went. Did you consider Waddle there? Like were you willing to move Waddle up a couple spots to get the stack? Yeah. He wasn't really a guy I was targeting. Because I'm only.

drafting my wide receiver too. I just really want a guaranteed like 150 targets. I want that volume. I do think Waddle has the shot to be good and obviously the stack is nice, but I wouldn't take him over Wilson. Okay. After Garrett Wilson, Scataboo, Breece Hall, Jared Gaw, and I did take Luther Bird. I took him here at the 508 after Higgins in the previous round.

We'll see. I have another player I'm hoping gets back to me. I've got to wait eight picks. So producer bowling on the clock, still with one quarterback as well. Jane Daniels in the first has Gentry Jacobs and Pickens. So here we are at 509.

that's all the delaying I can do for you. I don't know if you noticed what I was doing there, Al. I did that actually put extra pressure on me. Well, I do what I can. Baker Mayfield, which the... Did we share that news? No, I don't think so. He has said he is going to play out the final year of his contract. The negotiations didn't go where they wanted to go. I mean... And that's not a bad strategy as a quarterback where if you don't get the number you want, you're going to be in high demand. I mean, Kirk Cousins had great success kind of...

letting himself run out of contract, they get franchised and they get franchised. That on yourself. Make a ton of money. But also, if the season goes poorly, which it did last year, you could end up with a team that moves on from you. It's not a guarantee that they re-sign him next year. But that's fine. I mean, come be a cardinal. We'd be happy. We were happy with anything. Baker, McConkey, McLaurin.

One of the reasons I took burden, by the way, was because I was trying to see if McConkey could make it back through his ADP. His ADP wasn't the next man out, but I've risen quite a bit on Ladd McConkey. Not in the Falcons House. No. Terry McLaurin and then Giovante Williams rounding out the fifth round. Which after, so Brooks, you can chime in in the chat here. Al Borland takes Baker as his QB2 and then Brooks immediately shouted Rugrats.

So you were targeting Baker. So he will, okay, he wants to go for, but that's what I mean of the, like, this is, this is the part of the strategy is you can, you can push a little bit too far for, for how you want to play it. I find that, um, when you are playing the game of how late can I wait on. When, when you're playing the game of how late can I wait on a position, it is by far the most difficult strategy to do when you're on the turn. You have so many picks between.

your turn to pick that is it's just you've got to get so lucky to be able to play that strategy and have it hit. I would much rather, you know, play with fire if I'm at the fourth pick or the eighth pick where there's a little, you know, I could see what happens between some, some of my picks. All right. Well, Mahomes was the quarterback Brooks he went with to start the sixth. Then Waddle, Bucky drops the 603.

So I had thought about taking him at 5'8. I was surprised he had dropped that far. He went way behind even like Scat and Breece Hall. That could be a steal. Sorry, do you feel like you're in on Bucky? I wouldn't use that language publicly. He was saying he, Bucky is shaping up as one of those. I'm somewhat. Yes. I'm somewhat optimistic. Okay. I'm on that side. It's very just nebulous for me. I know a guy who's in of a friend of mine.

Of sometimes there will just be players. You got to make a decision of like, I'm okay being wrong. I'm okay passing Bucky because I know what can happen. Pass the buck? Yeah. I know someone could take him and you're like, oh, Bucky Irving is back. He's back to being a top 10 guy. But the way that I'm feeling all the vibes and what's going on with the team and the addition of Kenneth Gainwell.

I think I'm just going to let other people take it. See, the nice thing about taking Bucky is a lot of times when you're in the middle rounds like we are now in the sixth. You're getting a guy who's fine and is going to stay in the sixth. But Bucky is the type of guy that like you could be getting a steal. You could be getting an actual real good value. Yes. All right, guys. We're going to play a game for my pick here. I'm on the clock. Burrow, Walker, McBride, Higgins, and Burden. I have two players that I'm between and they are both sort of in the last of a tier to me.

Okay. And I want you to determine my pick. And this is how it's going to work. I'm going to give you the two names, and then you're going to write on your little boards. And if you both write the same name, that's the pick. If you don't, I'll make the pick myself. What if one of your names is a guy I want? Then I'm going to write the other name. I know you would do that. I'm between Jordan Love, who I think is the final quarterback in a tier I like here, or Travis A. Chan Jr., who I think is the final running back in a tier here.

I have one running back. I have one quarterback. Ken Walker is my RB1. Joe Burroughs my RB2. And I'm fine with either pick. So if you guys... You just said Joe Burroughs, your RB2. Well, he is also going to play quarterback for me. So go ahead and write the name down that you think I should take. The final in a tier for either one. If you don't agree, then I'll just side mess up. Okay.

I wrote down what I think you should do. And you wrote different names. Love and that was my way of getting out of that pick. It didn't work. Mike wrote A-chan and then I get to decide which of you I kind of like more. Fernando. I'm going to take Travis A. Chan. Yeah, that's right. It was close. That's right. I did it. We'll see what happens at the quarterback position and how much people want to torment me. But I went A-chan because you couldn't agree. Jameson goes next. Adunze.

At 607, I always want to watch and see. How, Julia. Julia took Christian Watson next. Mike was targeting Christian Watson, I see. I am thrilled. And full disclosure, I definitely would have gone Travis H.N. Jr.

You wrote it down because you wanted it. I need a running back. Yeah. I knew he'd do it. I knew he'd do it. I told you I'd do it. I know. I'm trying to host a show. Made of my word. Make it interesting and all that. Yeah. It was great. And then you did the right thing and you took Travis A. Chan, Jr., which bothered me because I thought there's no way the guy I really wanted would come back to me. A guy I almost took with my last pick and I'm, that was a far turn. It was Achan Jr. No, it was, it was Trevo. I am in on Trevi on Henderson. Henderson falling to this point is.

I think the upside is my, as, you know, in the late 6th. When you look at all the running backs that are off the board, that is the first name in a committee, in a true committee, that you don't know if he's the one or two. Unless Bucky is. Yeah, but I mean, I think, I think, look, when the depth charts come out, when the depth charts come out, I can promise you Trayvion will not be number one. Oh, no, no, he will not. So Carnell Tate goes next, love that pick. Kyle, love it.

Cardinal Tate sneaky. Bachel Tutin goes at 611. That probably would have been Mike's pick. Yeah. So I was thinking about this, you know, how do I want to handle this turn here? Bachel Tutin and Watson would have, there's no way I could have passed on both of those guys. And D'Andre Swift is still there. I think that it's a very strong pick. But I'm on the turn here. I'm trying to look at the landscape.

You know, the quarterbacks are starting to saturate out there. And there's a chance that this player might get back to me. But this is, I mean, this is going to feel fun. So I'm going to. Oh, yeah. Go ahead. Okay, I'm going to take a stack right here. I'm taking Tyler Shuck. Yeah, that's why I said go ahead. And I'm taking Jordan Tyson. I love it. Nice. That's fun.

See? It's exact where it's like, I think Downer Swift for my rankings and projections, that's like it's more practical thing to do. But I'm in the sixth, seven turn here. Sometimes I'm going to have a little bit of fun. And of course, Jordan Love just went to Kyle, who lives to do stuff like that. I thought he might make it all the way back. That was one of the reasons to go A-T-N as well is that there were three teams now four with Mike and Chuck that already had the combo. So I only had to have three teams pass on Love. They didn't.

Tyson Evans, love to start the seventh round. We'll take a break and continue. Hey, sports fans, starting Tuesday, September 8th, it's Super Sports Week on Paramount Plus.
