Mock Draft Mayhem: Head-to-Head Battle! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 7/1

Bateman, Cousins, Gino. I'm running out of quarterbacks, guys. People are taking backups. Elijah Moore and then James and Williams did go. Jason, you're back on the clock. Two picks left. You do need a tight end in one of these next two picks. Yes, I do. And when I'm looking at the tight ends that I like that are left, there's a handful of them. Fortunately, one of these players, I know Andy likes a lot. And so that's going to force my hand to take a tight end here and take Chig. Oconquo. I'm going to do the right stuff here. I was hoping that drop would come back in. I was thinking about that yesterday. Very happy that you are basically me. I mean, P. Ryan Oconquo back to back is, I mean, you're like my pseudonym. Yeah, exactly. One of my many. One of my many. Devon A-chain was on the board there. That would have been a fun player to take if I didn't have five.

running backs and I have to take a quarterback and a tight in with my last two picks here. So looking at the quarterback landscape, there was one name that I would hope would just be hanging around at the end. I'm going to take it here so I don't risk him being gone. Aaron Rogers is going to be my quarterback. I'm going to look at that Jets offense, the rebirth there, the money they paid and just say, I hope you get a resurgent year from Aaron Rogers a la Tom Brady and Tampa for a year. Dalton Kincaid and Dalton Shultz go next.

Yeah, okay. Jared Goff, Beckham, my final pick. It's got to be a tight end. You know, there's one name on this list that we've talked about quite a bit. Actually, there's two. Dulcich and Higby are the two that I'm thinking about. I've cooled on a player like Gerald Everett, just based on camp reports of Donald Parham, getting it done. Everett was heavily involved last year, but only 400 yards receiving total. Yeah, so it's between those two. I'm trying to see if I can find another little sneaky potential guy, KDOT, and is being brought up a lot as a second year tied in. But I'm going to go with, I'm going to go with Greg Dulcich. I'm going to take Greg Dulcich. Is it the Jared Stidham News that's psychinging you out here? Yeah, well, I just feel like Dulcich is more of a risk and Higby is more safe, but Dulcich has more upside. Higby's upside has kind of been. We've seen it. It's been there. We've done that.

So Rogers and Dulcich to close this, this mayhem out. What's really funny is those were the two players I was between at tight end was Chig O'Conquo and Greg Dulcich. I like Greg Dulcich more than Chik. Yeah, you've been more vocal about that. I just wanted to take Chig for me. Yeah, no, I mean. And so, you know, sometimes when you're playing fantasy with your friends, it's less about. Sure. But you would, you would have forced Andy's hand into a super titan stack with Traylon Burks and Chikikonkwo. And I would have blindly done it without noticing. That's true. I didn't notice that. So now I'm sitting here looking at my roster. I'm pretty balanced. I've got Jalen Hertz and I've got Chica Conquo, so I don't need the onesies. Najee Harris, James Connor, David Montgomery and Somaget P. Ryan at running back Cooper Cup, Terry McLaren, Mike Williams, and Gabe Davis at wide receiver. So I'm just looking for an upside play. Someone that could sit on the bench and maybe be something special. And if that's the case, to me, that's Rishi Rice.

I'm going to take the shot at a rookie wide receiver, who I think was pretty good, who gets to land with Patrick Mahomes. You know, what we saw last year from Sky Moore, he had the opportunity. He failed. Cadarius Tony, will he ever be able to be on the field? They lost Juju Smith-Schuster, and Travis Kelsey is a year older. So there is a pathway here. You know, more than likely, Patrick Mahomes just spreads it around and there isn't a guy. I'm still on the Skymore over Rashi Rice train. They both went in the final round here, five picks apart. And I've been very vocal of my hesitancy on Skymore, especially talking to Dynasty, but between those two, I would go Skymore this year. So you just really don't like Rishi Rice as a prospect? No, not that at all. After the season, they were talking about how the way that this offense was structured, it was.

a little more difficult for rookies to pick up. So I'm going to give Skymore, who had the second round draft capital, I'm going to give it just between him and another rookie. I'll give the benefit of the doubt to the guy who's been in the system for a year. Do you want to hit that button one last time before I read my roster, Mike? Yes, I do. Mayhem. I knew that was a lot of fun. I've never seen a draft go this way. I'm looking at my team, and it went five running backs, four wide receivers. That was the order.

And then my quarterback and tied in. McCaffrey, Jacobs, Gibbs, Acres, Madison. I can tell you, our draft analyzer is going to say your running backs are great. Evans, Berks, Johnston, Flowers, and then Rogers and Dulcich. I've got Cooper Cup, Jalen Hertz, Najee Harris, Tara McLaren, James Connor, Mike Williams, David Montgomery, Gabe Davis, Samajai P. Ryan, Chigacanquo, and Rishi Rice. This was a lot of fun. uh i'm sure you had a lot of fun oh i had a great time it's funny because i felt like um i felt like the way it was started it started i got off the hook and jason was going to be the man suffering and then i feel like at the end it got revealed that i was the one being conned all along so um we will get these

Mayhem rosters into the draft analyzer and share those results over on social media. You can't let your mark know that they're the mark. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And here I was. I'm going to go Gibbs. I caught you off guard. But no, we'll get, we'll get all of that. You can see the full draft board on YouTube. It's all up there. It was a good exercise in flexibility and changing these teams and thought processes around. I'm not that unhappy with my team. The ride. Was bumpy. Yeah, it was. But I'm pretty happy. How do you feel, Jay? Yeah, I feel pretty good about my team. And I don't think that your team can absolutely win. I mean, there's so many different ways you can construct a roster. And there's ideal ways. And then there's ways you have to pivot to when things go wrong. Obviously, in your draft, you're not going to be forced into taking five running backs to start. But this is a good exercise to see, well, if stuff goes wrong, how do you deal? Yeah, absolutely. So that'll do it for this Saturday edition of the Fantasy Footballers podcast.
