summary
Episode notes
The full staff joins a twelve-team mock, prompting a joke that the UDK's 130,000 human-written words count as human only if Kyle, Betz, and the crew do. Mike's personal roster history drives the comedy: he feels championship loyalty to Zay Flowers, calls Christian Watson his sweet precious Mr. Watson, gets talked into Tony Pollard, and immediately hates the pick. In Deucer's Alley, Al queues a Snake Man video in the wrong scene, cannot trigger it after the hosts explain the gag, reveals a visually questionable rocking football, and later calls out a mistake that never happened. The production computer is also accidentally left unmuted despite Al's ritual pre-show warnings. Betz drafts so aggressively that the hosts end by discussing whether he should ever be allowed back in a mock.
think are like >> so difference maker? Like you love Caleb. Caleb's sitting here in the 10th, not the sixth. >> The thing about the quarterback position is I mean unless these nerds going back in like there there's there's one team without a quarterback >> between me and my next pick. >> So if I didn't bring it up, you were in better shape. Well, it I wasn't, you know, because it's like Caleb is there. Trevor is there. Dak, my my stat quarterback is there. Brock Party, I love him. Like >> I just wondered with the Too Hot to Handle discussion we had last week,
>> right? >> Whether Caleb was in a different tier for you >> because you could take him. I mean, like when you look at replacement value at other positions here, >> we're not having great discussions. You know, at the end of the day, if you're >> No, you're just I'm I would just be shooting. >> Let me put it this way. Yeah. Who? Give me a name that you would shoot upside with at wide receiver right now because I want to hear the name. >> The It's disgusting, but it's Denzel Boston. >> Okay. So, it's Den It is disgusting. Yes, it is Denzel Boston. You're telling
me one week into the season, you're not trading Denzel Boston for Caleb Williams if that was a trade-off that's out there? >> That is a very good way to think about it. >> I mean, to me, it's like what is the probability of like there's a chance that Caleb is top five quarterback? I mean, we we put the odds somewhat reasonable yesterday, last Thursday. Just throwing it out there. I'm not trying >> Would you would you take Caleb Williams over Dak? Like if right now I know ADP wise, Caleb Williams goes way, >> right? That's what I assume because you've got CD Lamb.
>> Yeah, I'd rather have the stack over over. >> But even that then you would trade Denzel Boston for the stack. >> You're saying are you trying to protect me so I just take Dak here? Fine. >> I was >> I'll be bullied into it. It it was just it was a logical argument I was trying to make where we are at a level where is do you want Dak or Coker? Do you want guaranteed to stack or Coker? >> No, you you it's a good point of it's not a competition to see who can get their quarterback last. >> Right. Right.
>> Cuz you got close anyways >> because I mean on this run someone might take a QB2. Well, and the one team that doesn't have a quarterback is is uh I mean, we have several, >> but one of them is sitting at at the last pick of the round. Yeah. >> And they get two picks, >> so there's a decent chance that one of them goes. I bet you Caleb goes at 1012 or 11:01. But Jason, you're back on the clock. >> Yeah. I I absolutely love the pick I'm about to make. And it's so funny because I >> I love my pick.
>> No, you're you're going to love it because I have said I I would I would never draft him. >> Oh my gosh. >> I would never draft him because of where he goes and drafts. Of course I'm taking Sam. It's the 10th round. Of course I'm taking Sam Leaporta. My argument has never been Sam Leaport is bad. He's not good to be It's like why am I spinning a sixth rounder. I the guys that I'm sacrificing a tight end now in the 10th. It's just it's all just crapshoots. >> No, everything you said makes sense, including the part where you're like,
it's not like I've said Sam Leaport is bad. Although you have done every >> You're really >> You've gotten really close to saying that out loud. >> He has written us letters. >> You have gotten really close to saying Sam Leaport is bad. I have made you said it with your eyes. >> I have made it work because now everyone in this group is afraid to draft Sam Leaport and they gifted him to me in the 10th round. >> Well, the thing I like about that is you now have a starting tight end every week and that is not the ne that's not
necessarily what you get in the 10th round. Um that being said, if you look at this, are you happy you did that or would you have been happier with Kyle Pittz in the ninth round and then coming back and and taking another shot at wide receiver here? No, I Matthew Golden and Sam Leaporta is much better to me than say Kyle Pittz and Jaylen Coker. The the alternative option I could have gone. >> Caleb does go at the end of the round. Um Mason, Crod, Boston, Caleb, Diggs, Pacheco, McMillan, Shakir, Jason has got his onesies. He can choose whatever he
wants here. Two picks left in this wild mock draft. >> I've got five wide receivers already. Um, and three running backs. I'm going to go ahead and take Mike Washington here, the the rookie for the Raiders behind Genty. Um, hopefully maybe he's either involved or he's just a good insurance option this >> I'm surprised he didn't go al. >> Uh, I mean that's I don't I don't think Love gets enough work to get injured. You know what I mean? like uh anyone could get injured on any play, but I the the workload that you expect coming to Genty, just more opportunity for
>> sadness. >> Mike, you're back on the clock. Two picks remain. >> So, I'm looking at rookie wide receivers. Hilariously, a name perhaps Omar Cooper has not been mentioned on this podcast since the actual draft. Uh he was drafted in the first round. That's it's by an NFL team. It's wild to be like that. >> I'm not going to draft him. >> I'm just pointing out the name that Omar Cooper, first round wide receiver, is here. >> Yeah. >> And he could be selected. >> It's just the the situation is so bad. >> I don't have any problem with that pick.
I mean, I this is my actual philosophy. Like my last two wide receiver picks were Mckai Limmon and Antonio Williams. And I will say this and it won't happen, but if Omar Cooper is there at 11-1ven, he will be my pick. No question. >> Okay. Well, then I'm going to let that happen. Uh, Zachariah Branch, Falcons. He's he's interesting. I feel like he's probably doesn't have a ton of upside. Jeremy Bernard, a second round pick. Does he see 40 targets this year with DK Mechaf and uh Michael Pitman on that team? We're gonna swing. We're gonna swing a heavy bat here. Uh, we're gonna
go with Ted Hurst. >> Oh, I like it. So yeah, that's that's interesting because when you didn't go Omar Cooper first round wide receiver, you then your brain pivoted to two other rookie wide receivers and Zachariah Branch and Ted. >> Well, yeah, I was only going through rookies of like who who do I think can make a splash immediately and I have Hurst on that list. >> All right, so Trevor Lawrence does go next to Kurt. I was thinking about taking Trevor Lawrence with my next pick. >> Trevor Lawrence there is >> absurd. Omar Cooper goes at 1110 because Betts can't be in these drafts anymore.
I mean, frankly, Betts is living. He's living to just >> he's told me he's like, "Dude, there's no one I love more on this earth than Omar Cooper." >> He has got a drinking game he is trying to fulfill with his roster here. And um so, look, it's late. I want another wide receiver and I really wouldn't mind a an insurance policy on Jackson Dart, which seems crazy. Um, but that's how I'm thinking about him. So, I I'm actually going to pull the trigger on a player I believe and I'll take Bicks. I'll be the only one taking a double up here.
>> I actually really like the Jackson Dart Boicks combo. You figure between those two you're >> both after the eighth round. Yeah, you're go you're going to have you one you could play matchups and stream between the two because I think they're both going to be good, but you've got two shots of one of the potential breakout quarterbacks actually hitting. >> Well, we got another combo that just happened. Um I went next and then Bsby and Chimera went next. I took Tyreek Hill with my final pick. Rumors of Philadelphia. We'll see. Uh Patrick Mahomes goes next. So Betsy has Herbert and Mahomes as his
combo. Perie as the quarterback one for Brooks with the final pick of his draft. A conquo. >> A conquo is where I thought Kyle would take a conquo where he took where he took Pacheco. Wonder if he has any regrets on that one. Uh >> can we have a a conquo drop? >> Oh yeah. >> Oh. Oh >> yeah. Oh yeah. Now >> I'm just thinking we might need to warm it up for the season. >> Yeah. Kyle, you you made your own Tony Pard pick. I I will say this because you just brought his name up, but Isaiah Pacheco, I know that no one is excited
for him. He looked so bad last year, but he's being underdrafted right now. This is David Montgomery is gone. He is currently on a great offense, >> a running offense, >> a running offense. And obviously, as an insurance option, like Pacheco is going behind some some running backs that are >> actually a gift to the Gibbs manager because there's just >> I don't know how many people are going to pull the trigger on him, >> right? No, no one wants him. >> He's in the completely like I think people would take Tank Bsby ahead of >> PCO. Uh Bsby went after
>> who got slime back there. >> I don't know who was it. >> It was production computer. >> No, it was everybody you guys. What is happening here? >> You're first First you promise me a random snake drop >> which we didn't get. >> Which we didn't get. Then you unmute yourself back there which by the way before every show Al Borne's always like mute yourself. Mute yourself. >> Mhm. My laptop's muted, but the production computer was not. Partial credit. >> Okay. Hitman, you're up. Final pick of the draft. >> Another name that has possibly not been said on this podcast since the NFL draft
because it felt when he was drafted, we went, huh? Well, that's all right. He's plays for San Francisco. Dej >> I thought you were about to draft Carson. And honestly, the like the underlying beat report stuff has been positive. >> Yes, it has. >> So, I'll take a chance. >> The draft the draft Twitter community didn't know Stribbling and so because he was overdrafted, everyone's like, "Oh, you must suck." He's a second round pick going to a team that >> I should believe in him if I don't think Evans can stay healthy there. >> Yeah, absolutely. Um, I I I'm going to
take a pick that this is as much just for emotional support and belief in this player as possible. Former >> recent my guy. >> Oh no. >> Give me Tank Dell. I'm going to take that shot. Maybe he's healthy. Maybe he gets back on the field. This is my last pick. I'll swing for the fences here. He was great until the devastating injury, >> but he's he's past it now. He's out there. I don't know if you can get past that one to be honest with you. >> Past it. >> Um, that's a that's a you just have it. Um,
>> we finished. >> Oh my. The Marlon Mack pick. >> Marlon Mack goes, >> "How does this impact Marlon Mack?" >> Oh my gosh. >> That was that was a good time. >> Mark Andrews goes, >> "You are an idiot." >> How do you really feel? Um, final rundown of the rosters. wide receivers AJ Brown, Garrett Wilson, Alec Pierce, Mai Limmon, Antonio Williams, and Tyreek Hill. I feel great about those. James Cook and David Montgomery, and Zack Charban at running back. I'm going to be thin there. Loveland at tight end, Jackson Dart, and Bone Knicks at quarterback. I feel I hadn't drafted at
the back half of a draft yet. Um, the three wide kind of changed my expectations a little bit, but I feel okay about it. Mike. >> Uh, so I got Cidi Lamb, Rashid Rise, Z Flowers, Romeo Dobs, and then a couple rookies, Ted Hurst and Dejon Stribbling. Running backs are Devon Achan, DeAndre Swift, Tony Pard, and uh, Bill Kroski, Merritt, I got Tucker Craft, and Dak as my onesies. Yeah, I'm I'm pretty happy with how my team turned out. Josh Allen and Sam Laaporta at the onesies. We've got JSN, Nico Collins, Marvin Harrison, Quinton Johnston, Matthew Golden, and Tank Dell
at wide receiver. And at running back, Josh Jacobs, Cam Scataboo, Kaney Gainwell. >> Ky Gainwell, and Mike Washington. >> All right.
