Fantasy Football 2018 - 1/2 PPR Mock Draft + UDK Release!

change logs come up where they're adding three or four new features it's happening all the time they have dynasties over there now dynasty leagues all right um well we're going to get into it lay of the land here 12 team mock draft jason we well we randomized position jason's in the three spot i like it i am in the eight spot mike is in the nine spot it's a half point perception mock yeah well it is a snake

So we'll trade barbs. We'll trade stealing each other's players. And this entire draft, you'd be able to view the entire draft on the website when the episode posts, you'll be able to see it on YouTube as well. And so you'll see a full lay of the land, and I can't wait for you to watch me eviscerate these two gentlemen in a moment. 12 team, 14 rounds, so five bench spots, two running backs, two wide receivers, a flex, a tied into quarterback.

defense and a kicker. Canton Zaro's out there. Jay, I'm going to let you know right now. If you want them in the first round, though, you're going to have to compete with me. You wait at least four or five rounds. Okay. All right. You guys ready to kick this thing off? Let's do it. Certainly. Let's do it. All right. The first two picks in the draft. No surprise. Todd Gurley and Levi-on-Bel, since I am pick three. Yes. Here I would be deciding between Ezekiel Elliott and David Johnson. I think Ezekiel Elliott this year is.

undervalued. I honestly do, but I love in a half-point PPR David Johnson. I'm going to take them every day at the third pick spot here. So that's my draft selection. All right, Jason went with David Johnson. Next pick was Antonio Brown, then Ezekiel Elliott, Alvin Camara, and DeAndre Hopkins. The seven. At 107, half point perception league. I feel like that is helpful to me.

Yes, I can get behind that. I will say this. We were talking about this this morning at stupid outdoor pickleball that I hate the 107 right now. This year that's the spot because I feel like there's five elite running backs I want a piece of, the five that just came off the board, as well as Antonio Brown. And then that seventh spot is, okay, do you go Hopkins, O'Dell, do you look running back? But that's the break where I... So I feel like the break is...

Right where I am at the nine spot. Well, I'm going to make, I'll probably make it easy for you. I think we're both facing the same predicament here, Mike. Who do you want? That's always good advice. Always ask the person after you who they want. They'll tell you the truth and then. I'm going to take Saquan Barclay. I think the temptation there is seeing Odell Beckham Jr.'s name on the board. It certainly is. Half point perception league. I assume Mike's going to take him. But I stick to my guns and that generally means drafting a...

A running back. Mike? Yeah, and I went with O'Dell Beckham. He is my top tier wide receiver of right now. I have Brown Hopkins of Beckham in that top tier. To be fair, Antonio Brown probably should be his own. But I got those three guys very close together. And I was hoping that on the way back, I was going to grab kind of my favorite running back. Unfortunately, four of the next six picks were running backs, including Four net.

Kareem Hunt, Andy's personal favorite, Kareem Hunt, rising up his draft wars rapidly. Melvin Gordon and Dalvin Cook. This is why I took a running back, just for the record. I took the gamble here. Because I knew Mike was going to draft twice, and this happens in your league too. You're going to have somebody, if they're drafting around you, you know their tendencies. I was worried that if I went O'Dow Beckham Jr.

I would see five, six great running backs off the board. Mike could double up on running back, and I would not have a guy near the tier of Sequin Barclay. Mike went with Beckham Jr. Those four guys off the board, Julio and Michael Thomas with the second and third pick of the second round, and now Mike's facing some tough decisions. I'm certainly struggling over here because I don't like leaving my first two rounds without a running back, but the wide receivers left are.

They are, they're a tier above. They're a tier above for me, honestly. You know, I look at the draft board. The 12 spot actually looked pretty good. If I could leave the first two rounds of Melvin Gordon, Dalvin Cook. Yeah, it's feeling good. Yeah, I would feel good about that. So who are you going with? But so I took back on my first pick, I took Keenan Allen with my second pick. I'm going to have to shoot for some running back upside a little bit later. But I know I've got receptions covered. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, and it's interesting. I see a lot of wide receivers that I would be pretty happy with, but none that are standing out as the far and above. Now, Devonci Adams is there? Keenan Allen was in that, he was the bottom of the second tier for me. So I got a tier one and a tier two wide receiver. Feel pretty good about that. So, Mike, your team is Odell Beckham Jr. and Keenan Allen.

I have Sequin Barclay and I have a tough decision to make. I think I'm going to do the inverse of you. I think I'm going to go double running back. I have hopes of who will get there in the third round. But right now, I'm staring at Devante Freeman, LaShawn McCoy, Christian McCaffrey. I like all three of those guys. And over Devante Adams. I think so. I think so. And AJ Green is there. Mike Evans is there. But I don't have enough.

I haven't talked myself into Devante Adams becoming, you know, a favorite of mine like he has Jason's. That takes years. That takes years. And I'm just not willing. You know, quick on the drawn. Yeah. And recognize, you know, the greatest. I'm going to surprise you, though. What? I just took Rob Gonkowski. What? You know what? I'm not even joking. That throws me. I was waiting. I was going to Zig. I almost never go running back early in my drafts. And here at the second spot.

I assumed Gronk or Titan, yes, and I assumed Gronk was going to get to me. But instead, Andy takes Gronk, Devante Adams going right after him and then a run of running backs, Freeman, Shady, and Christian McCaffrey. I was very close to a Christian McCaffrey pick there. Yeah, that's, that's, but I went with Gronkowski. Yeah, that makes sense. That's not bad. There's still. Mike's shaking his head. There are still good. Stop with the running back run.

There are still good running backs, I think, available. And I would take when I've got David Johnson, so I'm happy there. You know, you've got Jordan Howard and Joe Mixen and, you know, McKinnon, a lot of good players there. But to me, I still believe in A.J. Green. I think A.J. Green is an elite wide receiver. I think the Bengals as a whole will be a better offense this year. And if I compare David Johnson and A.J. Green, I'm going to do it.

And so I did it. All right. We'll take a pause right there. Guys, let's run the roster's back real quick. Mike? Odo Beckham, Keenan Allen. Jason? Well, my roster is best right now because I have three. No, I don't. David Johnson and A.J. Green. Yeah, and I've got St. Paul Barclay and Rob Grancast. We'll pause here in the third round. Jordan Howard and Mike Evans finishing out the second round on teams that are not ours. But I want to thank sponsor of today's show.

So I'm on the clock after I picked AJ Green. Jordan Howard, Joe Mix, and Derek Henry, and Mike Evans went.

That to me says there is basically two wide receivers and one running back that I still absolutely love on the board. Jerich McKinnon, Doug Baldwin, and Adam Thielen. I would be stoked to have any one of those at this spot. Usually I'm going to take the running back in that situation. When they're the same tier and I go, hey, load up on running backs, those are, you know, they deplete quicker. But I'm going to zig here a little bit knowing how many running backs have already come off the board. I assume...

wide receivers, maybe some quarterbacks will start going. And I like some of the later running backs this year. I'm going to test that theory. And I'm going to take Adam Thielen, who is at the top of my rankings when it comes to wide receivers left. I think he's a stud. Okay. All right. After you took Adam Thielen, so you pair him with green and then David Johnson, your stalwart RB1, Tyree Koehl went, Jerich McKinnon went. I really wished he could have slipped to me. Yeah.

Aaron Rogers, first quarterback off the board at 306, Doug Baldwin at 307. And I have a strange team because I don't normally have a tight end at this point, obviously. Sequin Barclay and Rob Grankowski. And I'm sitting here and I'm trying to think through now. I know Mike is not going to take a wide receiver next. And if he does... Speak for yourself. That's okay with me. But that's my presumption is that I'm going to avoid Mike stealing a wide receiver. So the question is, do I...

grab a running back, but I don't see any that I adore in love. And I don't really feel like going for Rashad Penny here, just pairing another rookie with Barkley. That would be kind of up there on my list of guys. This is the hard part about doing it with three different owners, by the way, is I want to bring to light the players I'm considering without letting Mike know they exist. You've got to let the people know. I think I am going to end up, I think I'm going to end up taking a wide receiver here.

That's the truth. I'm going to take T.Y. Hilton. I'm unbelieving Andrew Luck returning. I think T.Y. Helton is going to be a solid wide receiver one with Andrew Luck. So we'll put Mike on the clock. Well, that made my draft pick very easy because I've already got the two wide receivers. You're correct. I would prefer to go with a running back. And there is still a guy on the board. You actually mentioned his name who has the potential, I think, to be a running back one. His head coach, Pete Carroll is always talking, already talking him up as a three-down guy.

We talked about the effect of Brandon Marshall on the... It was a very heavy breathing into the... I'm just sad. I know he wouldn't get past you guys all the way back to me, but Rashad Penny's my guy. You should do me a solid and let him come to me. And you wanted to talk about, okay, here the Jimmy Graham role as Brandon Marshall. No. The Jimmy Graham role this year?

is Rashad Penny. Before you make, that doesn't make any sense. No, that makes complete sense. Before you... The one-yard touchdowns, two-yard touchdowns will now go to Rashad Penny instead of to a past catcher. Yes, they potentially could. They will. But when you talk about a Jimmy Graham roll, I think 99 out of 100 people are thinking about a player that's, you know, going to go compete for a jump ball or go lineup outside. I mean a guy who... You're talking about somebody that will maybe...

play a role in the red zone. I understand that. Not just red zone, but a two-yard zone. Do you make anything up? There's a good time to ask the question. Do you make anything up? Look, a lot of talk lately. You talk about Pete Carroll, Seahawks' camp, the hype for Rashad Penny. CJ Pro Seahs, getting some hype right now. Healthy, added some weight. When he's been available, it's been a good thing for the Seahawks. That was a very good game. I agree.
