as a big of a believer that the Browns are going to turn it around as Andy is. Holy crap, the wide receivers are not inspiring here. So I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to take, I'm going to take Khalil Herbert, who I project to be the Chicago Bears starting running back. Is that a good pick, Jay? That's a terrible pick. Sorry, Brooke. Mayhem. Yeah, I have Deonti Foreman as their starter over to Hill Herbert. Oh, absolutely. It could be. It is. It is. Brooks, back me up here, please. Yep. We'll find out. Herbert's the guy. Thank you. They had the chance to make Herbert the guy. And then they drafted running back and brought someone else in. Oh, they're in the fourth round. So we'll see. But no, you get a chance to redo it and make your team better. You're welcome. I do like this. This is entertaining.

55:13 ↗

Okay. And I'm all tapped out now. Yeah, you are. See you. See you later. All right. All right. I am in a spot. I don't like a. Good. Good. All right. Besides right. Somaget P. Ryan. Okay. That's fair. That's fair. That's still a better pick. You've gone running backs four out of five rounds. Sanders, Montgomery, Gibson, and P. Ryan, Mike Williams in between. After your pick, it was all tight ends and quarterbacks. Frymuth and Joku. Yeah, because they saw the wide receivers that were available and said, no, thank you. Yeah, so I'm back on the clock in the ninth round here. There are a number of names that I think are interesting, but I'm going to surprise Jason with what he'll consider it to be a good pick. I'm in the shot range here. Oh, yeah, the point of just draft whoever. And even though I have projections for the other two running backs that are higher, I am not going to take a player.

56:12 ↗

or two players that I am that are going to sit on my bench and I'm not going to know which one to play. I'm going to take a player that is either going to get off the Schneide, catch on fire, and be an asset for my team, or I'm going to let him go. It's Devon A-Chane. I love it. I'm going to take A-chain there, and I'm coming back around in the 10th round. Khalil Herbert is still there. I could see if you could come back to Mike. That'd be a great pick here in the 10th. It would. It would be a really, really good pick. It also means Mike won't get him. So we'll go with Khalil Herbert. It's the right pick. All right, Elijah Moore, James, Dulcich, Damien Harris, Elijah Mitchell. You know, it's funny is part of the reason that I didn't like the Khalil Herbert pick, Mike, was because P. Ryan and A chain were on the board, and I think I like those picks better. Now they're both off. So I wouldn't have vetoed you here. Mike disagrees. Yes, strongly. He's on the clock here.

57:08 ↗

Your final two picks, 10th and 11th round, Mike, roundover draft. We're going to get some wide receivers on this team. You might need a tight in, by the way. Yeah. That's true. That is a fair point. I wonder if you thought that box was checked. Yeah, well, is checked good enough? Hold on. Okay, so ADP-wise, here's what we're looking at. Alan Lazard. That's okay. O'Dell Beckham. I'm not really into that pick at all. Jacobi Myers, he got the bag from the Las Vegas Raiders, but with Adams there, and Hunter Renfro is still there. It's hard to see a world where Jacobi Myers is really a ton. That's true. You just forget. That Hunter Renfro is still there? And Hunter Renfro's a good wide receiver? Yeah, that's crazy. I mean, they needed a third guy, so I don't blame him for bringing him. And then Thielen, no way. Tyler Boyd.

58:06 ↗

With Jamar Chase. Thielen's a good pick in the 10th round. No. He's not a good pick in any round. Yeah, that's where. Like I said, if you remember, at the top of the show, there are certain players that get in your brain and you're not allowed to see straight. Yeah. Adam Thielen was paid to come in and be the number one. Yes. And he's going to have the most targets on that roster. 100% agree. And Bryce Young is the number one pick and has been getting grave reviews. Everything you said is right. And he'll, Adam Thielen will be a top 40 wide receiver this season.

58:35 ↗

And that sounds good. But every single week, he's going to score you six fantasy points. Like that's in this range. You'll get three touchdowns. I'm taking out in this range. I mean, good. You get six point one fantasy points. Back on. No, I get. I get either zero. Yeah. Or I get eight. All right. Final pick, Mike. You're on the clock. Round it out. Oh, come on. Finish your draft. This kill me. I'm so done with this team. Okay. Oh man. So Darnell Mooney's there. This is just, this is, this is not where I want to be. So Adam Thielen's there, Mike. The wider receiver won for an NFL team. I hope that he drops to you and you can make that selection. Look, we all, we all need to draft players that we're pretty sure we could drop after week one to pick up the, the waiver wire hotness. I'm scrolling through here. I'm just trying to find anyone who I think has a chance to be something.

59:34 ↗

You know, no, well, let's, let's give this man some tap. I won't Fireball Jones, baby. Very nice. Who's the reviews, like, I know. Tim Patrick, wide receiver Denver Broncos. Tim Patrick, there are, I like Jerry Judy a lot this year, but there are whispers coming out of Denver that Tim Patrick might just be the best wide receiver on the team. I, I was eyeballing Tim Patrick until I realized they couldn't stack with Judy. Like two rounds ago. Right. So he was on my list. He was on your short list. Yeah. Oh, yeah. But I just didn't want both. Patrick to Mike, and then I'm going to round it out with none another. Then Adam Thielen, the final pick of the draft. Your waiver drop is going to be real easy. Yeah, A chain will hit the wire. Yeah, not really. A chain and Thielen. Chubb, Mixing, Cook, A chain, Herbert at running back. Hollywood, Judy Evans, Thielen at wide out.

60:28 ↗

Mahomes and a third round Dallas Goddard delivered by Mike. And my wide receivers are Jamar Chase, Chris Olivae, Mike Williams, Alan Lazard, and Fireball Jones, aka Tim Patrick. At running back, I have Miles Sanders, David Montgomery, Antonio Gibson, Samage P. Ryan, got Josh Allen. That feels pretty good. Evan Engram. It would have felt okay if that were four rounds later, but it wasn't. So it felt bad. Thank you, Jason. How was your first mayhem experience? Oh, this was great. I feel like I really helped you guys out. And I feel like you guys really did not help each other out. Mine weren't too bad on you. You guys took the gloves off and just went at it. That was, uh, that was the most mayhem we've had. I followed the rankings, Jason. People love top 200 lists.

61:15 ↗

Yeah. All right. Hopefully you enjoyed the mock draft. Hopefully you're mock drafting yourself, getting prepared for the season.
