PPR Mock Draft Show

the fact that he would be our fourth wide receiver goodness. I mean, you've got a flex option that can grow. I'm kind of curious if Pettus makes it back to us in the seventh round. Let's roll the dice. Are you willing to get on the Ingram train? I'm 100% willing to get on it, but I want it. There's no chance Dante Pettus gets back. This is the long term. How many do we wait? 20 picks? Something like that. He's not coming back. Oh, let's go.

Ingram, we took him. Henry went next. Darrell Henderson, Baker, Mayfield. Mike Williams has gone. DJ Moore has gone. All the wide receiver and running back runs. Come on, Dante. Come on, Dante. He's still not off the board. Come on, Dante. Just a couple more picks. A few more. Dante Pennis, come on. Three. No!

He ends up going three picks ahead of us. I've never been so sad to be right. Oh, see, that's true. You're probably not that sad. But Baker, Mayfield, Deshaun wants, and Matt Ryan and Drew Brees all went off the board in that run and all those wide receivers we love so much. Mike Williams, Dante Pettis. I'm more upset about the Robbie Anderson. Yeah, Robbie Anderson's gone at 708, and so we are on the clock.

We can do what we want, gentlemen. We can reinforce the running back position. I think that that is an option. You're looking at some more risks here. Latavius Murray. I don't think I want the Lamar-Miller-Lentavius-Murie combination. Miles Sanders, Ronald Jones, Royce Freeman. Man, it's rough at running back. At running back, at this point of the draft, I would take the shot on Miles Sanders, who.

We're still pretty early on. We're a couple months out from your real fantasy drafts unless you're doing basketball right now. But by preseason week three, Miles Sanders could be one of the biggest risers in all of average draft positions. I would take him here too because I want to reinforce the running back position. We're still needing a flex. So you want to put yourself in a decent position there. What I want to talk about, go for it. A guy who I've loved the entire off season.

Geronimo Allison, wide receiver from the Green Bay Packers, who to me was, when they brought him back, not a huge contract, but they brought him back, and Aaron Rogers frequently talks about Geronimo, I was very ready. Now I'm a little hesitant with all of the news coming out that...

Geronimo is going to move from the outside where he had a ton of success. He's going to move into the slot, and they're going to keep Marquez on the outside. I don't know if you guys recently talked about this. I don't think we talked about, I mean, we've certainly talked about it off air. I am rising on Marquez Valdez Scantling like crazy. I think it makes a lot of sense to move him to the outside and Geronimo to the slot. Now, do you think Geronimo can succeed? I mean, he's not a traditional, he doesn't have the traditional body, but we've seen.

taller guys in the slot, it'd be an actual very good move for their career. I think this could be fine for him, especially in a PPR league. He'll be fine. But the upside that Geronimo showed in those four games last year, I think that completely moves over to MVS. But at this point, we don't need to draft either of those guys. I am not as hesitant as Andy is on Latavius Murray. But if push came to shove, I would draft Miles Sanders. So I think all three of us. By the way, Will Fuller.

is on the board as well. I don't know if anybody saw this news today. The team exercised their fifth year option, $10 million option on Will Fuller for 2020. So confidence from the team at least that he's back from the injury, that he's going to be a part of this offense. And he wants those Texans. Oh, I did not say draft Will Fuller. Brooks. Miles Sanders, it is. Miles Sanders off the board. Fuller went next. Latavius Murray is gone. Russell Wilson, Nikiel Harry.

That could be a very interesting pick for somebody in a PPR league. People don't know what to do with Harry. No, and I'm one of them. It's a hard time. It's a hard time projecting rookies in New England. And what kind of trust Tom Brady will have with you. At this point in his career, I don't think it's enough to just be an athletic freak for Tom Brady. You can't just run down the field. Well, it's, sure. But if you have an athletic kind of profile,

and you're running, you know, nines, that worked at one time for Tom. I don't think it works as much anymore. Yeah, I love Nikiel Harry as a prospect. Easily my number one wide receiver, you know, before the draft, then he goes to a great spot. I think he could dominate. And, you know, we talk about this on the show. There are certain players you're just fine being wrong about, and I am fine. I'm not getting Nikiel Harry in any draft this year because with all of that said,

In order to get off to a hot start to be able to be reliable, I just think the odds, there's too many factors that are against him as far as first half of the season's success. I don't really like. When do you want him? Pass the 10th round, if that happened? Yeah, I mean, if I'm taking him as like my last bench player, sure, but where he's being drafted, I'm not going to have that opportunity. Just to lay a few things out there, you guys think about who you want at this pick, since we had the quick turn, we're back on the clock. I want to.

mention Carson Wins, Kyler Murray, Cam Newton. Those three wideouts are quarterbacks are still on the board. I think Wins in the eighth, if you're out there want him, I don't think the eighth round is the wrong place to pay for him. I'm a huge Carson Wince believer this season. You're going to hear a lot more about him. Probably going to hear about him in New York City. But.

I'm a believer, but I know, Jason, I know you love the value that Cam is representing later in drafts. Mike, I know you just talked about Kyla Murray and what he could represent for as a season-long starter. Those three guys are still there. Will they still be there when we come back? I don't know. I don't know if you care. Well, looking at the draft board, eight teams have selected a quarterback so far. So to me, in the eighth round, I'm not worried about one of these teams taking a second quarterback. Certainly.

they could and kind of start throwing a wrench into that plan. But there is a running back who jumps out at me that I would go after. And that's Austin Echler. In a PPR, as your third, or I should say your fourth running back, I think that he is extremely interesting, giving you some standalone flex appeal.

on a week-to-week basis. And then we know that if Melvin Gordon goes out, I guess we're not 100% sure that Justin Jackson doesn't come in and be the guy, but more than likely, Austin Echler would still receive the opportunity if Melvin is to miss time. It's so funny, we're here in the eighth round. LaShawn McCoy is on the clock. Yeah. Is on the board. And he'll be there in the ninth round if it's up to me. He's the starting running back and he's, you know, been a career dominant fantasy guy.

And we're talking to Austin Eccler over him. And here's the thing. I am not sitting here making the argument for LaShawn McCoy. He's just not even an option to me. And we're in the eighth round. I guess I'm bringing up like, am I wrong to have that view of shady at this point in a draft? No. Okay, good. All right. And I would, I don't think Austin Echler would be personally an option for me in the eighth round here, even in a PPR. Because I think what happened perceptually with Austin Ecclors, he had a run.

He had these spotty games, but he caught under 40 passes last year. That's not going to get it done in a PPR league if he repeats what he did last year. Mike, you've talked about Justin Jackson, a healthier Melvin Gordon. I think the risk is too high in the eighth. I wouldn't mind waiting to see, does he get to the ninth round? Does he get to the 10th round? I see names like Marvin Jones on the board right here in the eighth round, and I get interested. Even players, you know, Golden's hate in New York, totally ignored, barely talked about.

You talked about, I mean, we took Evan Ingram already, so maybe we don't want to dip our toe into Golden Tate in that sweet offense. It's going to be sweet. Give me all the Eli Manning. But just speaking that, talking about Golden Tate for a second in general is good because he could be very well and should be the number one targeted guy in New York. So he's somebody who maybe outside of an Ingram being drafted to a head, I'd be looking at other players to think about. I want to make sure people know that they're out there.

All the other Texans left, Kiki QT, and no. Larry Fitzgerald, still on the board. So I also overlooked the fact that we only have three wide receivers. So I am selecting a wide receiver here. I want Marvin Jones. That's perfectly fine with me. I think that Marvin Jones is, he's being overlooked because of the fantasy burns that he gave people in the breakout of Kenny Galladay. So I think the eighth round is too.

low for him. Yeah, I'm 100% fine with Marvin Jones. Let's pick him here. I will say this is one of those situations where it's just worked out. I could see myself here. I usually don't even look at quarterback till the 10th round. And that's really, that's not true. I look at it every round. This is where an early eighth round pick, I actually consider it. Because like you said, Carson wins. I would love to say Carson wins or Cam Newton or even Kyle or one of those guys could make it back.

Just kidding. None of them did. They're all gone. Carlson Wicks. Kyler Murray and Cam Newton all gone between the 8th and 9th round pick. This team. This team 8 is to get out of my face. This is where it gets tough for me on the late round quarterback decision making. Because when I looked at our roster, I really wanted them. But there are other quality quarterbacks on the board still. Jared Goff is still there. Jericho is still there. Echler went, 10th pick of the eighth round. Golden Tate went.

D.K. Metcalfe off the board at 902 with all that Metcalf buzz. Royce Freeman, somebody I would have loved to see dropped to us at the end of the ninth round here. We've got to make the rest of these picks a little quicker. So like Jason said, Jared Goff is there. Jason, you can have the pick. You can just talk through it for a second and then make it. Sure thing. Look, there is a tear break here to me.

at quarterback. I like James. I like Philip Rivers, Brady, Dak. They're all good. I'm fine. If there's a guy on the board right now at wide receiver and running back that I was like, man, if I was a Cory Davis truther, right? Corey Davis is on the board. I'm like, I still believe. Then I'll take him because I've got backup plans with Dak. But when I look at the wide receivers are out there, I like, I like Larry Fitzgerald. I like D.D. Westbrook. I like a lot of these guys about the same to me. And similar at running back, there's.

There's no one that's like, I have to have Damien Harris. I have to have Adrian Peterson. So to me, I'm taking Jared Gough. And you shall. Jared Gough off the board, followed by four whiteouts. Me Cole Hardman, Corey Davis, Deshawn Jackson, Larry Fitzgerald. Oh. We're back on the board.

Now, right now we have three running backs. Yes, we have three picks left in this draft, by the way. We only did a four-man bench for the sake of time. Josh Jacobs, Lamar Miller, and Miles Sanders. We have four wide receivers. Julio Jones, Judeo Smith, Schuster, Julian Edelman, and Marvin Jones. We've got our quarterback in taking care of. So at this point, we've got three picks. They're all going to be running backs or wide receivers here. And, you know, I think running back is probably the place that we need the most help with. You can certainly.

do worse than grabbing like a Peyton Barber or Adrian Peterson here this late in the draft, somebody that could step in as a starter. I think for me, the pick is actually Kiki. I know I talk all about Texans only. But he is such a PPR. Yes, he is. Sleeper, breakout contender. Mike, I'm happy, you know, MVS. Oh, yes. MVS is here at 1003. Tim Allen likes it. Mike, I'll hand you the pick. Go for it.

Okay, so if I'm up, then I'm actually taking Kiki's rhythmical repetition partner. Didi. I am taking Didi because I think that Didi could, Didi will be the number one wide receiver for the Jacksonville. They're so close to putting Kiki Didi Judo together on one scene. One of these times. Did Kiki go? No, well, yes. I was watching for MBS. I was really hoping NBS got back to us. I think.

at this point when you've got such, like the way the roster construction, I love Didi as a PPR guy, but we've got four really good wide receivers ahead of them right now. And so I would love a swing for the fences type of Marquez-Valdes Scantling pick where it's like he just breaks out. He must start even over some of these great players. I think Didi would be a safe, solid flex option. It's good for depth, not a bad pick, but I think MVS would have been perfect for this roster.

Jason, you can make our second last pick. I'll make the final pick. Tenth round, steals. You know, Devin Singletary went off the board late. Yeah, looking at these running backs. Adrian Peterson went off the board late. James Washington, a shot at wide out in Pittsburgh. Go for it. So looking at these running backs, I am going to, in general, in a vacuum, I really love Damien Harris here. I don't want to stack three rookies. I want a little bit more.
