Fantasy Football - Head-to-Head Mock Draft! - Podcast for 8/13

are we going to see you involves more in the passing game? That's an area of your game that can grow. And he basically said the equivalent of almost nothing, and it was to be continued, stay tuned. Like insinuating things have been built out for him more in the passing game is what you said yesterday. I love that pick there. I love it because I think you're going to come back around to a better choice or more flexibility maybe with your choice in the second round. Jefferson goes at 11.

I mean, should be a great PPR pick. Mm-hmm. Should be. He's a great wide receiver. Devon A. Chan and Ashton Janty. These throw running backs. Those are two great pass catchers and then Chase Brown next. Yes, A. Chan, Genty, Chase Brown. I wanted one of those guys from the fact that it was a full PPR. That's just fantastic. I'm left now with a choice between do I get my first wide receiver who would be either Drake London or A.J. Brown.

And for me, I would rather have AJ Brown than Drake London quarterback play changes. We talked about how Justin Jefferson and Drake London, great wide receivers, team environment and quarterback play could allow them to disappoint for this early in the draft. I'm going to take a guy that I keep banging the drum for. I know that the, you know, the troll comments from McDaniel coming out saying like, oh, we're going to use all three backs. I believe in Omari in Hampton.

I think he will be a three-down back and be very involved in catching the ball the way that A-chan was for McDaniel last year. And I want a piece of that off it. So I'm going to start high tea. James Cook, Amari and Hampton, and in a full PPR, I'm going to have to build my wide receivers later in the draft. I think this has been a really interesting draft already with names that, like, I don't think in any mock we've had, I've had CMC, you've had Cook or Hampton. Maybe you have, but Cook and Hampton, I don't blame you there. My worry about the past catching is Keaton Mitchell's involvement.

But it's like that could be design plays for Keaton Mitchell and not so much natural drop, you know, the checkdowns. Yeah, I think he'll be, I think Keaton will be used in the slot and used in motion and used more as a gadget player. Well, I think the streak of players we haven't had in mocks that are going to end up on our team may continue here. We see Bowers, Barkley, McBride after your Hampton pick, and then Ken Bone Walker, who might have been a little bit tantalizing and tumping there for me. At running back at this juncture, you have

You know, Jeremiah loves a pass-catching talent. It's interesting here. Henry and Jacobs, we'll see. We've talked about Jacobs. I'm going to take Drake London. I'm going to take Drake London this late. Yeah, he's falling. At 208 in a full PPR, you can say it's a bad environment. But Jefferson in a bad environment has failed. London in a bad environment has not failed yet. Well, Jefferson was a first round pick at the 11. You're at the, you know, mid to back of the second.

Yeah, so I'll take it because it looks like it started a run of whiteouts because London goes to me. Then it's A.J. Brown Pickens, Nico and Olave. Olave is an interesting name to bring up just if, like, if we do face the hamstring, hamstrung situation, we know what Olave can do at the high target chair. Jeremiah Love, the first pick of the third round, neighbors. Could have been an interesting thought. I would have loved him to slip through.

But he didn't. Breesaw, Derek Henry puts me back on the clock. CMC in London is the start. I will say right now the number one wide receivers or the two names, I think, that I'm interested in. Garrett Wilson, always a PPR monster. Ladd McConkey, interesting as well. Jacobs is there, Kyron, Bucky, Giovante, Aegean Jr., Trevo, looking to quarterbacks.

It's where you start to think a little bit. I mean, middle of the third Josh Allen, do I like what that does to my team more than Garrett Wilson? Do you think about Colston Loveland here in a full PPR third round? I should, but I'm not. Okay. So I'm going to take Josh Allen. I'm going to make the pick. I'm looking up and down the wide receiver room in a full PPR. There's a ton of names that I know are coming back to me. I think.

It's going to be a difference maker for my team versus looking quarterback in the fourth or fifth. So I'm going to pull the trigger on the automatic and take Josh Allen. Hero quarterback, hero running back. Drake London is my wide receiver one. I feel good. Higgins, Rice, Giovante, Kiron, Jason, you are on the clock. You got two running backs. You are high T so far.

I am high tea. I want to go like super high tea and pick up Josh Jacobs right here, still sitting there in 310? I mean, at 310, it's not a bad value, but I don't necessarily think that that's the way to go when there are other good wide receivers on my team and my team needs them. You know, I'm sitting here looking at Teterola McMillan, who I love, Garrett Wilson, who I love, Devante Smith, who I love. They're all good options at wide receiver, but in a full PPR.

my rankings have Garrett Wilson in the lead there. I think that he's going to do what he has always done, which is consume all of the targets. And I can't stop finding him as a value because he is a guy that I can easily see finishing as a back-end wide receiver one who's almost always taken, you know, after 15 wide receivers or so. I'm not sure which, what number wide receiver he was just here.

Kyle, you can add it up for me. But he's certainly not in the top 12. 14. 14 before him? 13 before him. He was 14 off the board. I think that is a great pick. It was the one name I was thinking about versus Josh Allen. And you and I both have them ranked above ADP. I love it. Devante Smith, Tet McMillan, Abuka going next. Jacobs finally goes off the board at 402. Okay. That's great. I mean.

Going behind Giovante is interesting when you have Giovante's past catching prowess in a PPR versus Jacobs. You know he's going to be 50 plus catches. That's a good value. Jason, you're back on the clock. A little bit of a head shake. I'm not sure. No, I'm just looking at everybody. There's a lot of different options. I can take my pick of the second year tight ends, Tyler Warren and Colson Loveland. Full PPR, they could end up dominating, taking that, you know, jump into Tier 1.

But I'm going to take a wide receiver that I know early in the off season. I think we maybe as a show, definitely myself, Mike, I think even you were a little lower, a little bit more concerned on. And as time has gone on, he's just, he's so good. He's so good. And I know you're squinted because you don't want me to take him. You don't want me to take Lad. Right? Yeah. Yeah. And I want to take Ladd. And then I just now I'm seeing.

That would put Ladd in Hampton. I love... Oh, yeah. He won't make it to me now that this has been discussed. He probably won't. But that's okay. That's going to tiebreak it for me. I'm not going to take Ladd. I am going to take Tyler Warren ahead of Colson Loveland and a full PPR. I'm confident that Warren is above 140 targets this year. Now, you took him over Loveland. Correct. Yeah, I think Loveland might have the ceiling, but in a full PPR, I am...

extremely confident that the number one target for that team. Like the number one target for the Bears, it very well might be Loveland. But it could also be Luther Byrd, which that's what the news recently has been that he's been the first target. It could also be Rome, who when the three of them were on the field together, was the leading target. I don't see Alec Pierce being the leading target. I don't see Josh Downs being better than Warren. Warren is going to be the engine in the receiving room.

All right, we'll catch you up a little bit here. Laude McConkey does go next. Not surprising after that discussion. That was the pie in the sky dream when I took Josh Allen is that Lad comes back to me. I love him. Zayflowers, Jalen Wattle, Loveland goes next. I end up with Luther Burden at 408. That's what I pulled the trigger on him. I love that value. I think that's great. That is the, what is he? The wide receiver 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21.

I'm getting Luther Burden at wide receiver 21 value and a PPR. You just talked about the offense. I feel fine about that. Sure. That means Loveland and Burden are gone back to back. Bucky, Scat, Jameson, and Lamar off the board to finish the fourth round. Carnell Tate at 501, love that pick. Judkins, Swift, Tootin, off the board, brings it back to me. Running backs have thinned, especially when you look at PPR.

Upside Trevo is interesting here. I need another running back. Monty, he can catch the football. He is also projected to score double-digit touchdowns or one of the better odd running backs to do it. A. Chan Jr. in New Orleans. Judarian Price. Also on the board. At wide receiver. You're sitting right now with London and Luther Burton. Two wide receivers. Hero R.B. with Christian McCaffrey. And you've got your onesie of Josh Allen.

in. Yeah, I think, man, tell me how you would think through the Trevo versus Monty decision. Yeah, I mean, it really is a team makeup decision. Now, I think that Trevo has the higher upside, the potential to be a breakout player versus David Montgomery. But David Montgomery is the three down back. He will have the touchdown upside. And the fact that this is your running back two, I think I like Trevo as my running back three.

As my running back, too, you might need more solid reliability versus. But I have a hero. I've got CMC. If he plays. Well, that's going to undo my team quickly if he doesn't. I agree. And I think the conversation around A. Chan Jr. has been really negative. But this was a guy they paid a ton of money to bring in on the offense. I thought that was going to be your pick, was A. Chan Jr.? It might be. I'm really between those three. And then I like Devante Adams here, but there's other wide outs I like later.

I think I'm going to do that. I think I'm going to take the guaranteed. I think there's upside and guarantee with A-chan. Maybe that means you end up getting Trevion. Maybe that was part of your plan. No, it wasn't. I mean, I might end up, but that was not part of my plan. I, you know, looking at my team, I've got one wide receiver. No, I've got one wide receiver. I think I've, Henderson went before me, but had he been on the clock, I would not have taken him here over some of these wide receivers that I like on the board.

All right, Terry McLaurin, David Montgomery, DJ Moore, and Trevo does go right before your pick. But looking at your makeup, it makes sense that you wouldn't have probably gone there. I love that. I can't really give any advice without it. I feel like you interpret it. That's your fault. Yeah, for sure. It's called learning from the past. But maybe if I'm trying to convince you of something, I've got to just come out and say the opposite.

of what you think I'm going to say, which is the opposite. I think we're going to get into a real pickle for the rest of our lives as friends if you do that. I'll go, I went A. Chan, you're on the clock. I'll give you a second to think about it. We'll take a quick break and be right back.
