bullish on him, but in a half-point PPR or in a full-point PPR, targets. He's going to have plenty of volume, a great flex play if Cortland Sutton doesn't pan out. And, you know, I think it's a good safe option for me. Well, I'm sad because Deshaun Jackson just went. I figured I could grab him in the next round. I couldn't. Deshaun Jackson went in the 10th round. Three more quarterbacks off the board. And then QT, Washington, Funches, Garoppolo, Westbrook.

55:06 ↗

Jason, we have two picks left to round out this head-to-head mock draft. You still need a quarterback, my friend. Oh, I do? That's stupid. And there's two picks left. So you don't have to take one now. You can wait to the last round. I don't. And I'm fine to wait to the next round and see what happens. But with Josh Allen, who is a top 10 fantasy quarterback in our rankings this year based on his rushing ability, is on the board. And I can grab him with my second two last pick.

55:35 ↗

I'm going to do it. I want to highlight something in the decision-making process right here. When you get to your last pick or the second-to-last pick, a lot of times people want to take a shot at essentially a deep sleeper. And that's the temptation, right? Maybe it would have, like last year, maybe it would have been Treyquan Smith. I don't think you should. You should take someone safe? No, not necessarily. You should leave the draft.

56:02 ↗

You should walk out of the room. You should just say, I don't need this pick. I'm that good. Here's what you got to do. You need to take a deep sleeper that you get to see the proof of what they are earlier. In week one. In week one. Because you want to know why? Because you are probably going to want to play the waiver wire. And...

56:19 ↗

The deep sleeper that you don't get to see payoff, and the example I'll bring forward is I look at Devin Singletary, and I go, man, I should take Devin Singletary. He's a running back that could emerge, but you know when he's going to do that? He's going to do it from week 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and on. I'm not going to know, and I'm going to cut him, even if he is that guy. You know who's not that guy? You know, who's not that guy? Really good advice of thinking about how the season pans out from the get-go. Last year, you know, I had.

56:49 ↗

my my super team yes which leaving the draft everybody knew it was dominant and then ended up being not as dominant not as dominant thank you injuries all players to all players but um what happened was early in that week one i had a couple of injuries and it was like i didn't i didn't have anybody that i knew i could cut no you i remember you laboring over that you're like all my team is too good and it was a problem so yeah i like that so who is that to you

57:15 ↗

Kalyn Belash is that player here in the 11th round because in week one, I know you love Kenyon Drake. I understand his efficiency and his ability. I'm actually going to draft him right here. Wait, what? Yeah, he's going to be a great thing. You grabbed him in the 12th? Well, I really should have taken Kenyon Drake. No, but Kalen Belash to me is a player that in week one of the NFL season, you could be surprised. Absolutely. All of a sudden, it could be a 50-50 workload and you've got a steal in the 11th round. And guess what if he's not? Goodbye.

57:45 ↗

Farewell. Sayonora. Elviteson. Yes, goodbye. So I'm taking Caleb Lodge with my 11th round pick. It's my 12th round pick. It's my final pick. And I'm probably going to do the very same thing. One of the players I think is a value. But maybe he's not. But Matt Braid is off the board. Look, that sucks.

58:08 ↗

What are you going to take him? 100% I was going to take him. Oh, that makes me happy. It was the same exact argument you just made over. I'm taking two of them. I'm going to figure it out in week one. I was going to tell you that you took the wrong one in Caleb Bellad. You should have taken Matt Berita, who is really someone you've been the drum for because you think he's going to be their starter. I'll take both, though, you know. In the last round, Matt Berita is a fantastic pick. So I'm in the last round. David Johnson, Carry on Johnson, David Montgomery, and Peyton Barber. I feel like I need another one of those.

58:38 ↗

type of running backs where it's like maybe he could be the guy week one. So I will trade for Matt Berita. Andy, can I interest you with the 1207? No, but I will accept Cary Ann Johnson in this one particular instance. All right. Well, if that's the case, I am going to, I'm going to look at the running back position for sure and try to grab a guy that I think.

59:05 ↗

Could be more than you think. Chris Thompson? To me, Justice Hill as a rookie. There's a couple of rookies that I think, unlike Devin Singletary. Devon Singletary, I believe in. I like him, but he is firmly behind on the depth chart right now. Well, because you're saying, because he's a one and two down type of player, he needs that, whereas Justice Yil could come in and be a compliment day one. LaShawn McCoy. Exactly. Now, Dionne Lewis, you know, is going to be a compliment, and he's still on the board. And he is still on the board, but I want a guy. What about Mike Davis in case you're wrong about?

59:35 ↗

David M. Opportunity. I don't want to play that game. If I'm wrong about David Mopportunity, I'm going to, it's not just going to be Mike Davis. It's going to be their, they both suck. Okay. So I'm going to go with a guy that I think can actually be much, much higher in Dynasty rankings. I think he could get off to a hot start. Take the Rex Burke had rolled. Oh, I knew you were going with them. That everybody thought last year could happen. I think Damien Harris with my last pick is great. I think you need to buy Damien Harris, Jersey. I feel like he's.

60:04 ↗

Like we always do our three my guys, but then if they were like super deep my guys, he'd be in your super deep list. He would be in my super deep list, yes. Well, that's it. All right. That's the whole roster. Let's hear our final teams. Andy, you go first. We'll save the best for the last. I thought you said I was going first. I did. Oh, great.

60:21 ↗

Deshawn Watson is my quarterback. Starting running backs, Delvin Cook and Josh Jacobs starting wide outs. DeAndre Hopkins and Brandon Cooks. My tied in is Trey Burton. My flex position will be some combination of Lamar Miller, Dante Pettis, Geronimo, Allison, Marvin Jones, and a couple of wild cards. Wow, car. Kalem Blage and Matt Berita. All right. My quarterback is Josh Allen. Running back is David Johnson. Carry on Johnson. David Mopportunity, Montgomery.

60:49 ↗

Peyton Barber and Damian Harris. At wide receiver, I've got Mike Evans, Robert Woods, Alan Robinson, Cortland Sutton, Golden Tate, and no one else. Well, that was fun. That was a lot of fun. And shout out to Sleeper. Always fun to draft on the platform. Makes it easy. You guys could see it if you're on YouTube. We put a couple extra tricks out there for YouTube this week.

61:13 ↗

All right, yesterday on pristine auction.com in Amari Cooper signed Dallas Cowboys jersey was sold to Brooks for $74.86 cents. I wish. I just assume Brooks buys all the Dallas gear.

I'm more in the...

62:08 ↗

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll come out on top, but you never know. Yeah. I mean, my percentage was higher, so I doubt it. Thanks for tuning in. Hope you enjoyed the mock draft. We'll be back with you.
