Fantasy Football - Mock Draft Show! + Big-Time Values - Podcast for 7/16

The 401 goes with Kyron Williams. Then Julia gets Devontae Smith, which CeeDee Lamb, A-Chan, Ted Aro, McMillan, Devontae Smith. Yeah, I like her starting a lot. You've got to be feeling good about that. In a three-wide to have three stud-wide receivers and A-Chan, yeah, you can't be complaining. Here I am. I think the player that I wanted the most, it's funny because this worked out well for me at wide receiver because I would have taken Devontae Smith, and I probably would have taken Tett, but the player I really wanted in a three-wide receiver. I did that, and I was like, you know what?

I want George. Right, yeah, sure. I want Garrett Wilson. I want a guy, since I'm taking my first wide receiver in round four in a three-wide, which is not my normal strategy. I want a guy who's going to go out there and get 160 targets, 180 targets. Yes, he will. And so the talent is there. Obviously, I've made it known how great Geno Smith is. It's known. It is known. So, yeah, I think Garrett Wilson's in for a great year. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay, so you took Garrett. Oh, come on. Brooks took Abuka. What is happening? Which, hold on, Brooks' team of McCaffrey, A.J. Brown, Olave, Abuka.

I like that. Followed up by Kyle. Kyle, just trying to get the monkey off his back. You got to get your guys. Colston Loveland. Mr. Loveland. Mr. Loveland to you. No fantasy analyst out there. None. Has been more vocal in their disgust. Hatred. Irrational disdain. Disdain. Absolutely. Just for no reason. Yeah, he just. And then, and then. Because we just wanted all of us to feel bad that we don't get Loveland. Right, right, right. Man. He's probably not even. He's going to bench him. He's going to draft his second tight end. I will say this, Kyle. I know you don't believe this, but it was a great pick.

Yeah, it was. Yeah. If Loveland had fallen to me in the fourth, that would have been very difficult to pass. Papa Josh takes Brees Hall. He is balanced with two wide and two running backs. Betts is also balanced. He took Jalen Waddell there. That's an interesting bit. How do you feel about Jalen Waddell in the 407? You know, Jalen Waddell is not very exciting to me, but I've brought this up a few times. When I went back and watched the Broncos film and watched Bo Nix deep and the opportunities, the opportunities are there. He did not have a player to take advantage of them.

Waddell is a player that can take advantage of them. So, I'm open to Waddell being better than I think. Right now, I just view Waddell as like the wide receiver 20, you know, wide receiver 24. But I'm open to the fact that he could end up being a wide receiver one this year, so it's okay. I'm lukewarm. It's like you get in the water and you're like, this is nice. Yeah. It's not great. But it's okay. Yeah. On the board, let me look at the running backs real quick. Josh Jacobs, Travis H.N. Jr., Javante, Bucky, Hendo. You know, kind of a little bit of a flat tier there for me.

At the wide receiver position, the Malik neighbors question will be out there. When does that happen? Lad McConkie, Luther Burden, Zay Flowers. Those are the guys who are at the top of the ADP. And Jason, you are still the only team that does not have – or you're the only team that has, I'm sorry, a quarterback. At the tight end position, Tyler Warren is still there. But the turn for me is two teams that already have an elite tight end. Smart. Smart, Michael. I can look at that and be like, no, go ahead. I double dog dare you ruin your team by wasting another pick on a top tier tight end.

But I'm not going to do it. So, yeah. Like, I'm going to force them to make that decision. I'm going with my guy. I'm taking Zay Flowers. Okay. Zay Flowers in the fourth, maybe a little bit early on the ADP. But my wide receiver three was a top 10 guy last year with over 1,200 receiving yards. So, I feel pretty similar to Zay as I do about Waddle. However, I'm more confident that – Al, what are you doing? I'm going all in on my guys. Oh, man. Al went Jacobs and Christian Watson. What? He's going Packers heavy. Okay. So, I took Zay Flowers.

Al Borland, Josh Jacobs at the 4-9, which that's fine. Jacobs there. And then the Falcon went with Cam Scadaboo. Opens up the fifth round with Ladd McConkie. Then Owl with Christian Watson. I had Jacobs, then Flowers, then Watson in my queue. So, Josh Jacobs – like, all in on the Green Bay Packers with a fourth and fifth round pick. That's right. Go Pack Go. That's riding – that's riding kind of dirty. So, I had set up the plan of Tyler Warren is there. This is a PPR format, which I think does elevate Tyler Warren because, like, I love – I'm in on Tucker Craft.

I'm in on George Kittle as I'm just – look, free in the wind. I'm going to draft them as if they are not hurt. And if that comes back and hurts me later, it's just a risk that I – this offseason I am willing to take. But Malik Neighbors, as a wide receiver for – that's interesting. I'm going to go ahead and do it. Okay. I'm going to take Malik with this build of Jameer, George, Rasheed Rice, Zay Flowers, Malik Neighbors of – being – I mean, obviously, I have the wide receivers. I need to fill out the rest of my team, but if Malik is back to anything remotely Malik-esque by week four, week five, then my four-pack of wide receivers will be devastating.

Yeah. I mean, I had neighbors on my – like, he was who I was targeting the most. Okay. Even though, obviously, I'm only one wide receiver, I also view that – you can view that in two different ways. You can be like, well, you really need a guy who's going to be on the field week one, sure, but also, when he gets back on, I will be loaded and star-powered studded starting without wide receivers to get Malik back. Also, 10-teamer. Mm-hmm. So, it will be easier for – slightly easier to cover the lack of production at the beginning. So, I take Malik.

Matthew Betts went Terry McLaurin. Papa Josh took Tyler Warren. Then Kyle – ooh, Kyle was going elite onesies. I don't blame him. He follows up his incredible pick, his incredibly hurtful, spiteful pick of Colston Loveland with Lamar Jackson. Brooksy takes Drake May, so they have their quarterbacks. Jason, you're up. You have Johnny Taylor, Ashton Genthi, Josh Allen, Garrett Wilson. Where are you looking? So, I'm pretty happy. I wanted Malik to fall to me, but I'm very happy with – I'm going to get two wide receivers here at this turn, and I don't even care. There's enough wide receivers that I like on the board.

I'm not scared of the four that are going to go at this turn. Julia already has three. So, there's two players that I really want to come back to the next one. This pick, I'm actually going to pull the trigger on an old man. And the question is whether I go Devontae Adams or Mike Evans. Because Mike Evans projects to be the clear number one wide receiver. I like Brock Purdy. I believe in Mike Evans a lot this year. Devontae Adams, you know, he was just – what was he? Like, he was a top 15 wide receiver last year. Something.

Led the league in touchdowns. But I'm going to go with what I actually believe. I believe Mike Evans still has it. I don't think he's lost anything. I think he's going to be the leader for a good offense. And prove that he is a second ballot Hall of Fame wide receiver. All right. So, you have taken Mike Evans as your wide receiver too. Jules took DeAndre Swift. Julia's team is really good. Baby Jake's Luther Burden at the end of the fifth. The 5-10. That's fine. Like, that's a fine area. Jason and I were talking Luther Burden on the footcast of this week.

And it was kind of me lamenting just Luther Burden's ADP is so high. There is just – there is – like – He's already done it. You know, I like to use the phrase, hey, draft this guy. The risk is baked in. Well, it's like the risk is completely – The reward is baked in right now. Yeah, the reward is baked in. You're not getting the – if he's really good, then you got him where he's supposed to be really good. Yes. So, I – it's – his ADP is tough because I really believe in the player and the situation.

And I hope he works out. But that is – it's tough. Baby Jake's – he takes Javante Williams next. Julia took Devante Adams. So, that old man is no longer available for you, Jason. Which I wasn't going to go – Dub-dub-olds. You can't put Mike Evans and Devante Adams on the same team. That's – you're asking for trouble. The two players that I wanted to come – I was really hoping one of them would be picked and neither was. Carnell Tate, you know, a top – you know, the number four – Sixth round to get a wide receiver of his, you know, production, his draft stock.

That's fantastic. And so, I'm between him and Roma Dunze. I know we've had that conversation of, you know, you don't necessarily believe it's Rome. I look back. I went back and I watched the tape. I mean, Rome was the dude. Rome was the wide receiver three at the beginning of last season before he got injured and then struggled with it. But – He burned very hot with touchdowns. Yes. Yes, he did. But he was also on pace for – I mean, he was clearly the leader in target share, in yardage, and pretty much every statistic at the beginning of the year.

I feel like he was only putting up, like, 60 a week, though. So, on the yardage, I don't know. But target market share, I know he was very high. Yardage through the first four – What was he on pace for? Here, I'm going to go – You're going to make it worse? Well, I can. I was just trying to make the sample a little bit bigger. So, the first month, he was averaging 74 yards. So, he had 37, 128, but then a game of 62 and 69. He would have been on pace for 148 targets, 85 receptions, 1,258 yards, and then 21 touchdowns,

which obviously that's not going to happen. Man, it's really tough between those two guys. I'm not a big believer in Cam Ward. When I watch the tape, I want pieces of the Chicago offense. I'm going to do it. I'm going to take – This is the draft where it's like Mike Evans and Roma Dunze. I'm reaching for both of them above where they usually go. So, I think, you know, this is one of those where maybe the average scoring system would say, I didn't get the best draft here. But you take who you believe in. And I do believe in Mike Evans and Roma Dunze.

And it doesn't matter what, you know, the expectations are. It just matters what do they actually do this year. So, you took Rome. Brooks went Travis H. Ann Jr. Kyle took Carnell Tate. Papa Josh took Bashaw Tootin, who probably would have been my pick had he made it to me. And then Matthew Betts went with Jamison Williams. One thing we didn't talk about last round. Brooks took Drake May as the quarterback three. Right. It doesn't bother me. No. It does not bother me of what he was able to do last – you can say schedule this year. That's okay. But he beat the crap out of people last year.

The playoff run was terrible. But in the regular season, he was just beating people up. And now he has A.J. Brown, which Brooks also has A.J. Brown. Yes. So, he took his stack. The stack makes sense. I guess I was forgetting that he took A.J. Brown in the second round. Joe Burrow sitting there would be hard for me to take Drake May over him. But if you want the stack, that makes sense. Yeah. You're two in the McDaniel system. I can see it. I don't have a problem with Drake May going there. Now, for my squad, I am back on the clock.

I only have one running back and the four wide receivers. Running back-wise, ADP, we got Bucky, which, goodness gracious, are there any running backs that just feel as meh as Bucky right now? It's really unfair. I feel like I need to get some Mountain Dews and throw on some Bucky Irving highlights and just try to recapture and remember the feelings. It's crazy. Because last year, Bucky was like the running back seven in drafts because he was that good as a rookie. He was supposed to be a superstar. And then last year, he got injured. He dealt with injuries all year.

And the addition of – the subtraction of Rashad White, addition of Kenny Gainwell. See, that could easily be neutral. That could very easily be – I mean, I know we're like, oh, Kenny Gainwell is better than Rashad White. Rashad White was very involved, very much a part of this team the last couple years. It's not like they just added Kenny Gainwell. They added Kenny Gainwell and they got rid of Rashad White. If Bucky comes out the way that he was as a rookie, this will be his backfield. He could be a phenomenal pick. But it is really tough, and I agree with you.

You're just like – what we saw last year while he was injured was, you know, one of the biggest busts in fantasy football. So it's tough to pull the trigger on him. It's hard to bounce back. What running back number are we at right now? I mean, there's got to be – you've got to be – are we drafting the 26th running back yet? Because that's wild for Bucky to be there. I don't know. You would have to – why don't you just tell me how many running backs we have drafted? Koss says RB 22. 22, yeah. So that's fine.

But anyway, so running backs, Bucky is there. Henderson is there. At this point of a draft, I don't think that it's terrible. You know, Henderson early in the fourth or so is – I just can't do that. Judkins, those are kind of the top of ADP for the running back position at wide receiver. DJ Moore, Brian Thomas, Jordan Tyson is interesting. Marvin Harrison, you know, the tight ends. There's – Tyler Warren was taken, but other than that, that's kind of the status quo of Fannin, Kraft, Kincaid, Laporta. You know, the usual suspects are there. Now, quarterback-wise, three have been taken.

We're in the sixth. So we could go – I could take Joey B right here. I could take Jaden, which both of those guys I think are fair – projections are fair picks to be the overall QB1 on the season. You know, Dak would be my preferred stack of the remaining quarterbacks. But will Dak fight to be the number one quarterback? I'm just not sure that he'll be able to do that. I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to take Joe Burrow here. I figured when Joey got to you in the sixth round in a 10-team league where you really do want the positional advantages of elite players,

Joe Burrow in the sixth is great value. So Owl saw that and he said, I need to get in. So he took a quarterback. I was going to take Burrow there. He took Jaden Daniels. At the corner, the Falcon has taken Bucky and Brian Thomas, and he's upset. Which stack were you upset about? The Chase Burrow. Oh, the Jamar. Oh, man. You were sitting there in the shadows. Yeah, I'm bummed. Too bad for you. I took him. So you took Bucky, you took Brian Thomas, and then, Owl, you took Jordan Tyson as we head here to the seventh. Yeah, I think that's a fantastic pick there.

A lot of upside. So running back-wise, I still only have the one running back. I think it might be time to try and shake that up. I'll take Henderson. Henderson at the 703 just seems – that's not a problem. The risk has been absorbed at that point. I like you taking him because, you know, last year you were so in on him as a rookie. It turned out great. He had a slow start but proved that he was very good. The rest of the regular season, obviously, into the playoffs, they stopped using him, which is – He was still being used.

I don't know. Ramondre, it freaks me out what they could do on a week-to-week basis. Yeah, but it just makes me feel good inside to see Henderson go to your team. Oh, I appreciate that. I mean, I don't like it for me because I was praying Henderson got to me. But I wanted one of three running backs to get back to me. I wanted either Henderson – So before – I took Henderson. Matthew Betts took Jalen Hurts. Then went Parker Washington. Then David Montgomery. That was one of the others. And Tucker Craft goes to Brooks. And so I will end up with the third of the three guys that I wanted.

But I think Quinchon Judkins, he proved a lot. I know you look at the – Judkins. Henderson and Judkins in this round feels wild. Yeah. I mean, he might have been inefficient in total yards per carry, but he's behind a bad offensive line. He looked great. They spent a top-10 pick on the offensive line. They've made some changes where I think lanes will open up. But Judkins really was impressive as a rookie. And he's the whole show. If he gets the passing work as well, which maybe it'll be Dylan Sampson, but Judkins is a quality player who really is going to own the vast majority

of a backfield. It's not – you know, unfortunately it's the Browns. The timing of the pick here will just – it'll be magnified here when I say you took Quinchon Judkins. Jules with the next pick took Ramondre Stevenson, which I'm not saying is a bad pick, but it's just like, man, okay, that's interesting that Judkins failed there. Jalen Warren for Pittsburgh will close out the round to baby Jake. We're going to take one more quick break, and we'll be back with the rest of the draft.
