The hosts say four Deucers will join the mock, identify their hand-run League of Record draft document as the skeleton key, and explain that one host simulates every opponent from personal knowledge. The supposedly more realistic staff opponents are immediately compared with a computer missing RAM and zeros and ones.
The hosts report more than 8,000 current players in the world's largest fantasy league and say its champion automatically enters the following Listener League. The other path is the submission process, jokingly summarized through talent, creativity, and personality before the desk objects to treating unselected entrants as devoid of those qualities.
The room traces Jason's aggressive morning energy to a double espresso and his ongoing experiments with caffeine's cardiovascular effects. When checked before the mock, Jason reports a resting heart rate of 120 and says he has never been below 100 during a mock draft.
Jahan Dotson's dynasty value receives a toilet sound because it is circling the drain, but the host cannot find the control and tells the room to imagine it. The cue finally fires while the host still cannot see it and apologizes directly to Al.
The staff mock gives the Falcon a toilet avatar, which the hosts take as voluntary acceptance of their bowel-focused characterization. Asked about his prior mailbag-drop duty, he says he had nightmares and crawling skin; the room adds that he blacked out and left sweating screenshots.
Mike takes Isaiah Pacheco at 2.07, calls the choice consistent with who he has always been, and ranks Pacheco above several more expensive backs. The desk identifies Mike and Jason as the Pacheco Parade's leaders, while Kyle says he would have made the same selection on his next turn.
After the draft, the desk asks Deucer's Alley for a visual confidence grade. The crew returns one thumbs-down, several sideways thumbs, and no thumbs-up, which the hosts call the peak of the confidence they have built in the staff.
The hosts promote the next day's Los Angeles anniversary show, remind ticket holders to attend, and describe signed jerseys, signed helmets, giveaways, and a live silent auction whose proceeds will support Fantasy Cares.
The episode replaces computer opponents with four Footballers staff drafters, only for the hosts to say the Ducers are like a computer missing RAM, call the group producers and losers, and receive no thumbs-up when the alley grades its own work. The hosts identify their manual League of Record draft document as the skeleton key and reveal that an unnamed manager has been putting out Amon-Ra St. Brown trade feelers because he is a keeper. Community stakes are unusually direct: more than 8,000 people have joined that year's Megalabowl, its champion automatically enters the next Listener League, and the alternative submission process is jokingly described as requiring talent, creativity, and personality. Jason arrives on a double espresso, reports a resting heart rate of 120, and says a mock draft never leaves him under 100. Al helps locate a toilet sound for Jahan Dotson's circling-the-drain dynasty value; Dotson also becomes Cardio King, while Washington's screen volume turns Kliff Kingsbury into Cliff Screensberry. The Falcon embraces his bowel canon with a toilet avatar, then says his prior live mailbag-drop duty caused nightmares, a blackout, sweating screenshots, and crawling skin. Mike drafts Isaiah Pacheco above ADP while he and Jason are identified as leaders of the Pacheco Parade. The mock also recalls Ken Bone Walker, a take swap, and Schmevin Schmengram. It closes by promoting the next day's 10th-anniversary Los Angeles Megalashow, where signed memorabilia and a silent auction will benefit Fantasy Cares.
J.K. Dobbins, I brought him up on the Sleeper episode. To me, he's a perfect last round pick in the sense that week one, he's either going to be like the starter and really involved or he's not. And then I either have a really nice pick for a good offense that wants to run the ball a lot or I know exactly who I'm swapping out on the week one waiver wire. So Dobbins will bolster my roster. All right. I like that. Final pick, Dobbins is going to be a common theme, I think, in all of our drafts this year. Polk. Hawkinson, Dobbs, Mike, your final selection, anybody you want. Just don't take the guy I want. I hope I do. My wide receiver crew, it's really solid of Jalen Wattle, Tank, Del Calvin Ridley, Rashue Rice. So I don't, looking at the players who are at the top of ADP, you know, Curtis Samuel, Tyler Lock, at Jacoby Myers, even Josh Palmer. I'll throw him in there. They're stabilizers, but I don't think that at this point, they're going to, they're going to.
really take off and become something huge. And them cracking my lineup over those four guys, if everything goes to plan, not very likely. So with that said, I'm going to look at Adonai Mitchell from the Colts has been getting Pub as a rookie wide receiver. But I'm going to take the shot on the first round wide receiver. I will take Xavier Lee Gets and hope that he is ready to go and hope he can. help turn around the Carolina offense. Zeke goes next, who would have been in consideration. He went to the Falcon, Charbonnet, with Team 8. And I was hoping this would happen. You got your guy. My final pick in this draft, I don't draft to trade, except for maybe one guy. Because I know, I know how fantasy players get when they don't have a tight end. And sometimes one big game gets you the opportunity.
to trade away a tight end. Taysom Hill will be the pick, multipositional opportunity. I hear there's other platforms that are adopting. They're moving Taysam back to Tate End eligible. Yahoo did it this morning. Right. So Taysm Hill at 1109. Like I have done that. Like I've picked up TASM, had him blow up, and traded in before. Like that's been a part of the TASM experience. So if you catch lightning in a bottle in week one, Why not? Well, in this one, Papa Josh is in the league, and so, you know, know your league. He would have been gone with the next pick. Curtis Samuel, who the team is saying they hope will be back for week one, goes with the third to last pick. Lockett. Kind of a moment there with Lockett, having him go almost as Mr. Irrelevant in the draft. I don't know if the retirement ceremony is too soon for him or not. We're going to find out whether the JS intake was.
way off base and then Fryer Muth with the last pick in the draft. So running these teams back again, you can see the entire draft board on the YouTube channel. I'm sure we'll share some graphics out. My team at wide receiver, A.J. Brown, George Pickens, Xavier Worthy, Brian Thomas Jr., feels a little thin, but also top heavy, a little bit hero wide receiver there. Kyron Williams, Rashad White, Jalen Warren, and Blake Corum at my running back position in my onesies. Kyle Murray. Sam Leporta. I guess it's not a onesie if you take two of them. Taysome Hill also on the roster as an extra quarterback tied in and whatever else they want to classify him as. My onesies, I've got the stack in Dak and Jake Ferguson, super stacked with C.D. Lamb. Then I've got T. Higgins, Jaden Reed, Keon Coleman, and Jameson Williams, with Derek Henry, Devon, A. Chan, Joe Mixon, and J. J. Dobbins at running back.
At Roney Mac, I've got Brees Hall, Isaiah Pacheco, Gus Edwards, and Chase Brown. My wide outs are Jalen Waddell, Calvin Ridley, Rishie Rice, and then Evan Ingram. Oh, Xavier Legate, I apologize. Evan Engram and Stafford. So people ask us all the time, where do you really want to draft? Aside from the Stafford pick, this is my favorite team that we've mocked drafted. so far this year. So I guess I like the six. Yeah, if you had taken Jaden Daniels a little bit earlier, you'd be thrilled with us. Or even just, you know, like Gough or Gough party or Tua in that selection instead of Stafford. Like could happen in a lot of drafts. Would love it. All right.

Terms and conditions do apply. So let me just get a thumbs up, thumbs down from the Deucer's Alley over there. Let's see what the confidence level is with the selections today. We got a thumbs down. We got some sideways thumbs. We got no thumbs ups. Wow. Good work, boys. That's the confidence that we have built up in them. Yeah, that's right. That's the peak. It's a real, a real Dennis Allen situation. How dare you? All right. Hey. I think you do great work, Mike. I think you do great work, Jason. Andy, beautiful team. It's unfortunate when you're injured, but you're still part of the team. That's what I have always said. One more reminder here at the end. Actually, two more reminders.
