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

I'm here on the clock. I've still only got two running backs. I'm in the eighth round. I need to look at that position. You only got two? Yeah. At least you got your guy in Brees Hall. Yeah, I mean, Giovante and Brees aren't a bad one-two punch, but I have very little depth. And so who I want to take here is Blake Quorum. I think he is a league-winning upside type of pick. I know I've been Mr. Cairn Williams. I still am. I think Cairn's a great pick. He's going to be fine for fantasy. It does not mean. That does not mean that that.

Blake Corum is a bad pick. He's a good player. If he does get the opportunity, I'm wrong, then he's a flex with benefits. But should something happen injury-wise to Kyron, Corum will be a league winner. But I feel like as my running back three, I have to have someone more guaranteed for touches. So I'm wondering about Kenny Gainwell. But after all that talk, I'm going to pull the trigger on Corum. All right. Corum, Godwin, Sutton, Lemon.

three wide outs in a row as we circle back around to the ninth. I thought about Godwin, but then my team as I'm just scraping the frying pan. Yeah, your team, I don't know. It's not good. I don't really know what you're thinking, to be honest, through most of this draft, Mike. I don't feel like this is what your team normally looked like. No, there was two picks at particular. That you just kind of, your brain went. Not so much here, not so much here, but right there. Here, I just.

It's about the second, fourth round. Tony Pollard, Chigua Hubbard, Caleb Williams, Quentin Johnston, and Concepcion off the board. As we circle back around, we're heading towards the end of the draft. Jacobi Myers and Cyrus Allen going in the ninth. Nice to see that next to Keenan Allen. Jason, you're back on the clock. A few picks left here. The last time that I was between two running backs, I got both, and I'm going to do it again. I'm going to grab Gainwell to go with Corum.

So now with Giovante Williams, Brees Hall, Blake Quorum, and Kenny Gainwell, I feel fine with my running backs. There was a part of this draft. I almost gave you Justin Herbert, Jason, as your quarterback. That was a thought there with the Pierce pick. I don't feel like Herbert has been drafted by any of us in any draft at all this entire offseason. You know, it's funny. I am a Herbert apologist. I love them. I love the offense. I find that I'm putting my chips more on Hampton.

and the running game and the defense versus Herbert. But he's a good quarterback that is, I think, going to be playing for a good offense. Well, I mean, they're close to one of the highest, you know, AFC title favored teams right now. So if things go right, if that season does come together, I mean, I know a lot of Mike, his thoughts this year is about Cincinnati doing special things because it comes together. You stay healthy. It feels like a similar narrative for Los Angeles.

Tyler Alger and Trevor Lawrence. Mike, you got three picks left. One's got to be a quarterback. Kiddle was your last pick. So I'm going to take, I guess it's not for sure volume, but it feels like it of a player of this caliber who over 1,000 yards off of a torn ACL goes to what should be a strong offensive situation. I'm going to go with Stefan Diggs. And then I am.

So I got two picks left. I do need a quarterback. I'm scanning through the draft. It appears that you can stack your chiefs. I could. But so Jason's the only team without a quarterback. And I know how Jason feels about Jackson Dart. And I'm sure you would have taken him. So I'm going to take him as. I have neighbors. I was praying for the neighbors. Like I said, to recover anything from this team.

I need an upside player. Andy, you made the bear case for Jackson Dart. I don't. You could say 10th round Jackson. I don't disagree that there is a bear case, but there is a true bull case to be made for him. So I'm going to take him there. Well, those are two good picks, actually. Not that a Stefan Diggs and Metcalf combo counts as a second rounder, but it's better than nothing. Chris Rodriguez, Kalem Black.

Aaron Jones, a nun guy off the board. Jason has a quarterback that he needs to take either here in the 10th or in the 11th, and he's back on the clock after the Gainwell Quorum selections. Do we remember? Do you remember? Do we remember a time Kyle maybe looked this up where a non-injured NFL draft first round wide receiver was undrafted in every single like ADP just completely undrafted. I wouldn't even consider thinking about drafting Omar Cooper Jr.

ever and it's like this is for good for good reason yeah but it's a first round pick that's well i mean you might be tempted i will with gino i will take a first round wide receiver from the previous year i'll draft matthew golden here yeah that's that's that's the right spot yep that's uh and then a guy i'm just in love with right now isaiah likely at 1007 Travis hunter

at 1008 getting drafted, even though no defensive players in this draft. But Papa Josh did take him. Do you know something we don't, Papa Josh? No. Okay. He is a talented wide receiver. Well, I did see some stuff about him and him and Brian Thomas Jr. like going back and forth on the reps. And that was like, is that bad for BTJ or good for Travis Hunter? Kincaid Mitchell. That would be Keith Mitchell. I'll tell you who it's good for.

Wide receiver number one overall. Parker, Washington. Michael Pittman, Tank Biggsby, Pat Bryant, Dylan Sampson, Malik Washington, or rather Mike Washington. That was not Malik. Dontavian Wicks, sneaky, great pick by the Eagles fan there. And then Jonah Coleman.

And Marshawn Lloyd, Jason, your final pick is a quarterback. It is a quarterback. I just brought him up as a value. It's insane that he's basically undrafted in single quarterback leagues. The quarterback six last year to quarterback seven is rookie year, adds Jalen Waddle, take Bo Nix. Bo Nix. First round wide receiver, Jr. is with the second team offense confirming what we've seen in camp that Isaiah Williams has leapfrogged him as the wide receiver three. That was about a week ago. Yeah. Scottard, Boston, Strange.

Malik Washington this time. Oh, no, it isn't. Oh, yes, it is. Yeah, it is. And honestly, Tank Biggsby, Malik, Washington were kind of at the top of my cue of, so I'll just go the other direction of let's paint the picture. Funny, we were just talking about this wide receiver at lunch, guys, of like, he's good. He's just, he's a good player, but things haven't worked out for Jordan Addison and maybe.

Maybe. He's a really good player. Yeah. He's a really good player. We're going to take talent. We're going to take situation and hope that the quarterback works. All right. Your last task is to read back your roster, but the... I will not be doing that. The requirement is that you don't... You're not allowed to mention any of the mayhem. You got to make the case for your full roster. And you've got to do it right now, Jason. Sure. I took a healthy Malik neighbors in round one.

to go with AJ Brown, Roma Dunzee, Alec Pierce, and Matthew Golden, my running backs, Giovante Williams, Breece Hall, Blake Corm, and Kenny Gainwell. I've got my onesies of Bo Nix and Tyler Warren. I'm pretty happy with my team. Yeah, because you want a brief. You want a breeze, and then you got Breece. Yeah, and I wanted Alec Pierce. Mike, what were your, what's your, what are you?

We got Ken, anyway. We got Ken Bone Walker at the top with the second round pick. I, of course, took D.K. Metcalf. Look, it's one last ride with Aaron Rogers. Right. Last time we saw Mike McCarthy at charge of an offense. We saw some pretty good stuff. Oh, yeah. From, from C.D. Lamb. One last, one last ride. Rashie Rice, Bayshall Tooting. Woody Marks, look, I'm pretty much OUT on.

on David Montgomery. And Woody Marks looked good in preseason. So why not? Why not? Why not get the, the young explosion player? The arbitrage pick that will certainly usurp David Montgomery and his new contract. Yes. Christian Watson, I love that pick in the sixth round A. And by the way, if you didn't take marks in the fifth, Watson wouldn't have been such a deal.

in the six. That is a good point. You made it even better for me. Now you can feel better about the box. I went up to the register and I just marked it down a couple cents. It's like, oh, I'm getting the deal. Jordan Mason, George Kittle, which, hey, all signs point to him having a real shot playing in week one. But it would, which that's good enough for me to be a difference maker for, you're talking for the season. Stefan Diggs gets some volume. Jackson, dart, maybe.

a top five potential quarterback, and then Jordan Addison, because everyone needs a player that they can drop after week one to go pick up the new waiver wire hotness. Or another tight end maybe for your team. Yeah, or that. Well, kiddle would just go into my IR. That's true. If you go Tonjus McBasket one or something like that. Or Juwanson. Juwanson himself. There you go. I would say did that fit the mayhem bill? Yeah, for one of us.

You were about to give him Brock Bowers. I was. You talked to me out of it. That would have been the ultimate mayhem on me. You guys just give each other great picks and we're in the draft and the show. But we got a lot going on. We got some more preseason football tonight and through the weekend. So I'm sure there will be simultaneously more excitement for certain players and more injuries for certain players. So we're going to recap all of that stuff on Monday.

We're also doing the UDK for Life giveaway on Monday. I am correct about that. That is the date. Oh, yeah, that's coming up. So it's worth saying, like right now, anybody that has the UDK before Monday's live stream, which will be, I think, at 4 Pacific, maybe 3 Pacific, it's 4 Pacific, it's 3 Pacific, it is 3 Pacific. Six Easter. Yeah. We will be giving, at the end of that live stream, we'll give away a UDK for Life.

If you've bought the UDK anytime between February when we pre-ordered or let pre-orders happen all the way through now, you'll be able to pick that up and be entered to win. And there you go. Big shows next week. My guys are coming next week. And by the way, the mock draft tool is now available on the web for the UDK as well. All right. Have a good week, everyone. We'll see you next time.
