Mock Draft MAYHEM! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 8/21

Hey, I'm not... What do you think? I'm just an innocent bystander. Yeah. You know what? I just realized... Mayhem. I just feel like what you did to Mike was so disrespectful. Mike's not an innocent bystander anymore? I mean, the Metcalf situation... Look, I'll give the pick to Mike. I'll let Mike make the choice. Okay. I will... I will weigh in. You will weigh in. I will weigh in. It's your choice, Mike. I'm just saying...

If there's one player I know from our previous week's discussion, and I'd call it a discussion at the end of the show, I just think Romandre looks like a value here. Romandre is an excellent value. I mean, there's a lot of value running backs. But it's your pick. You find your, you find your narrative. You were going to take Brees Hall, Jay? I was, yeah. Take him. Okay. I'll just go ahead. Take him. All right. I took him. I took Brees Hall.

I'm so confused. Why are you confused? Because I feel like I was just cursed somehow. I feel like something just happened where I feel like you just injured Breece Hall with your mind. What just happened? What just happened, Mike? He took the high road, I guess. No, he wanted Breece Hall. He's playing mine games. No. He's playing mine games. I'm on tilt. You wanted Breece Hall. I let you have Breece Hall. I don't know what's happening. I am confused as well.

He's winning. He's winning by giving me what I want. I don't like it. Breece Hall is off the board. Okay. Sort of to me on the outside, looking in, feels like maybe a wasted opportunity. I think what it was is he was saying, we're not playing these crazy shenanigans. I'm going to rise above that. Is this a guilt? You want him to sit in the guilt of Metcalf? No, he wanted Bruce Hall. All right.

We continue. Hey, nice my hand, Mike. Probably a good time for an ad break. It's a good pick. Thank you. Probably a good time for a break.

Reese Hall went to Jason before the break, which, I mean, really threw you for a loop. It sure did. Because you wanted Breece Hall. Yeah. Zay Flowers, Quinshon, Judkins, Cam Scoutaboo, Tet McMillan, Teggans, and James round out the fourth. Carnell Tate at the 501, Trayvion at 502, DJ Moore, 503, Montgomery at 504. And we've got Bucky.

At 505. There's some names that are just dropping in this draft. Yes. Yeah, I mean, there's interesting. I don't know if you'll let me have this pick. This is the most absurd pick I can remember in any of our mocks. Tyler Warren being in the fifth round is incredible. I've got two running backs, two wide receivers. There's no chance I would ever pass up on Tyler Warren in the fifth. So if I'm allowed to take it, that would be.

My pick. All right. Jason, you, hmm, yeah, go ahead. Oh, all right. Fantastic. Things are working out for me. I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to be doing with that anyways. Luther Burden goes next. Romandre Stevenson, still on the board, but did not go. Burden, Swift, McLaurin, Mike Evans, and Mike, you are back on the clock. There are two mayhemes left, one for each of you.

And both are your user's choice. All right. So let me take a look at what's going on here. ADP, you know, quarterbacks are, it's just the two. So, I mean, I could have Joe Burrow, who I think I'm very, I'm very interested in on his upside this, this year. Sitting here at the turn, running back wise, it's not inspiring.

and wide receiver wise there's some guys who I really like and yeah at this point this is where I would be taking Christian Watson yeah I mean I would have let you he's mad at you for you pulled some weird stuff with that whole let him take the player and waste the mayhem thing so you get Woody marks okay my team my team's gonna be good in the end yours is we're taking you to the

To the cleanest. Putting you down. So you liked what you saw last night. Woody Marks is the pick. Mike, I'm out of mayhams. You get to make your 601. Okay, Christian Watson. Christian Watson is the pick. Yeah, that's the fun thing about being at the turn of their, you know, I'm not going to use them back to back and you're out of them. So Christian Watson, you still get him. Judarian Price is 602. Jalen Warren at the 603. Parker, Washington, back in action at the 604. And Drake May.

Ooh. I would have been very tempted to grab Drake May there. I don't like taking two onesies in the first six rounds, but with AJ Brown and having Drake May fall past his ADP, it would have been tempting. So I'm actually kind of happy that Drake May was selected. So you're not tempted? Because I am not tempted. Instead, I'm going to take a player that I feel like I end up with in almost every mock draft because...

I still believe. I still believe that Roma Dunesay is a very good player. I think of that range, that's a, I am alone on planet Earth. I guess you're lucky that I let you have that pick. Oh, I forgot you still had one. Yeah, that's okay. That's okay. Premature selection. Holy quarterback run. Adunze to Jason, then Jacori Christi, Marit, then three quarterbacks in a row. Daniels, Hertz, Burrow.

Devante Adams. And then Julia takes Romandre. Oh, he's gone. Dang. Dajon's tribling. Z. There you go. Yeah. That's going to happen. It is going to happen. All right. It is. We're into the seventh round of the draft right now. Jason with neighbors, AJ Brown, Roma, Dunesay, with Javante and Brise Hall as his running backs. Tyler Warren as his tight end.

Mike's got Ken Walker, Basel Tootin, and Woody Marks at running back. DK Metcalf, Rushy Rice, and Watson at wide receiver. I'm still trying to figure out what his master plan was. But Pitts, Kraft, Harrison, Tyson, and Dobbins off the board in the seventh round, putting Jason on the clock. So I've got only two running backs right now. I would have easily taken JK Dobbins had he gotten to me. He did not.

Yeah, just be careful when you select on this one. Yes, I will not select without asking you first. Here we're at a situation where the running backs that are on the board, and I need a running back, Jonathan Brooks or Chuba Hubbard, whichever one you prefer there. If you want to take a shot at Rico Dowdell being the starter, there's Tony Pollard, who is a starter. I really like Jordan Mason, but he's usually able to be had much later.

I just don't think the value is there. This is what I was talking about recently of like these rounds running backs. They're just, they're pushed way higher than they should be. There are still good shots at wide receiver. I would prefer taking like, take the shot that Parker Washington isn't better than Jamar Chase and it's actually Brian Thomas Jr. Or Mackay Lemon, I know he's going to, you know, he's dealing with injury, get off to a slow start, similar with Alec Pierce.

I just like the upside of some of those guys. So if I were to get the pick, I would take Alec Pierce. He didn't want Alec Pierce, man. You fell right into that. I mean, it didn't matter what he said there. I feel like this is the point. Give him Alec Pierce. This is the point in the draft. Don't you freaking dare do that. I can't do that again. Oh, that's such a good idea.

Yeah, why not? Oh, come on. Mike didn't even get the, like, he didn't even make the pick last time, so I'm going to let him make it this time. All right, okay. That's a great deal, actually. I'm just giving it the guy he worked. That's what I was hoping you do. You just want all the Colts? You're Alec Pierce over BTJ? Yeah. You're Alec Pierce over Josh Downs, which is important. Yeah, I mean, no, I'm, I'm really not. I wouldn't have wanted Alec Pierce there. I was trying to get you to.

I probably would have given you Josh Downs about three rounds ahead of schedule. That probably would have been my pick. Mike's idea was better. He's kind of redeemed himself. So Mike, I'm not going to use any more mayhams on you. Oh, that's nice. That's a really good job you did. Alec Pierce off the board at 707 BTJ Michael Wilson, Jonathan Brooks, Rico Dowdell. And Mike, you get to, you got five picks to kind of piece things back together. There will be no piecing together. It's the optimistic way. Rico would have been a.

I thought you would have thought about that. I would have. That would have been an instant move him to the top of the list. But going with DK Matkaff and Rico Dowdell, I'm not sure I would build my team that way. Building a team with two completely broken picks is that's not the easiest thing in the world. Metcalf could be okay.

I guess you will. What are you talking about? You'll have to take a tight in and a quarter of it. What are you talking about? I mean, this is about where Metcalf probably went last year, right? Yeah. And he's not going to be okay. It's not good. You ever not wrong just early? I mean, something like that. Is that there? I saw the DK Metcalfe new press pictures, right? The new headshot. Oh, with the death stare with the really big eyes. Is that what that is? That looked like somebody put Adam Gase on. Some where. Who?

That's just what it looked like. I understand. Adam Gase. Yeah, I remember that. I understand. All right. Tight end wise. I'm picking up what you're putting down. Tight end wise. Oh, man. Is there anybody you love at tight in right now? George is there. I wondered. I don't even, I just, I don't even know what to do with this build here of, it's just disgusting. It's not realistic that you run into a Metcalf situation in the League of Record draft.

But not combing that with Woody Marks. I'm going to take Jordan Mason just so I know that I have at least one more running back. And then, I mean, this team has to hit on a onesie position, so we're just going to take George. That's a good point. If you have something go a little sideways from your scale position players, getting an advantage at tight end makes sense. Leporta goes next. Dak in the eighth here. Jason's almost back on the clock, but Harold Fanon does go. And RJ Harvey, who, look.

The sentiment might not be great for RJ Harvey, but we need to be realistic with the fact he's going to be utilized. He's on an offense that we like Sean Payton's potential, and Harvey late is fine. It's fine. I just have little faith that it's going to actually work out. He seems like if we had to do a quick question of like players.

that have like an RB one week out of nowhere or like it like oh yeah number one overall in week one it's like RJ Harvey's at the top of that and put it in on like eight touches yeah it's like two receiving touchdowns and a long play and all of a sudden everyone's talking about RJ Harvey in week one yeah so
