I wouldn't spend, I can pretty much say, no matter who's on the board, I mean, not no matter, but given this situation, I'm not picking Tyler Eifert with my sixth pick there in almost any situation. Well, and that's basically his first pick in the draft. He'd be trading green for that second pick, but his first pick was going to be. Let Eifert be grabbed by someone else or grab him later if you can. All right. Cessary? Well, we didn't answer the, so we got to keep three of Jamil Charles, Lamar, Miller, Doug Martin, AJ Green, Jordy Nelson. Oh, okay.

52:19 ↗

Charles and Green are locked in for me. Doug Martin. My third would between Miller and Martin. I think I would take Miller. And I would lean with Andy and go Doug Martin here. Wouldn't you argue that Martin's safer with the Charles variable? And so you wouldn't want, like, Lamar Miller new system, Jamal Charles. Maybe. Coming back from the injury, you just have one less risk. I don't know if it's definitely safer. I mean, Lamar Miller has honestly never really had a bad year.

52:49 ↗

Right, but anytime you change teams, look, he could ascend and be incredible this year, or he could, you know. Maybe he ends up like Doug Martin. Right, yeah. So I would rather go Doug Martin. Which Doug Martin? You have a 50% chance. Last year. Rookie. All right. So there you go. There's the opinions. Basically, you know that Charles is locked in, greens locked in. And you can side with your favorite footballer there. All right. This is either Caesar or Cessori.

53:18 ↗

Or in Baltimore. Or Sasari. Or Sasari or Sasar. We apologize. Yeah, well. It's hard to read. I believe it is C-sair. C-sair. I'm pretty confident. I'm already keeping AP and Brandon Cooks because of my flex options. You can pick up to four wide receivers or four wide receivers in two tight-ins. I believe you meant running backs. You said four-wide receivers and four running backs. Yes. Or two tight-ins. Please choose one more player. Choices are Woodhead, Carlos Williams.

53:47 ↗

Delaney Walker, Travis Kelsey, Larry Fitzgerald, Kamar Aiken, Willie Sneed, or Doriel, Green, Beckham. You guys are the... Hold on, this is the most important part. Oh. You guys are the absolute best. No contest. Made two championships last season. One won with the help of your analysis. I could have won both if it wasn't against both cousins and Rule 86 in the final week. Yeah, I mean, I've heard that. Oof. Full point PPR. Man.

54:16 ↗

So Greenbeckham has the highest ceiling. I think. Highest ceiling. I don't think. In a full point PPR, I think Willie Sneed is going to guarantee out-produce Green Beckham. You're saying that because of touchdown potential. But how is Larry Fitzgerald not being considered after 109 receptions in a full-point PPR? I think because of...

54:37 ↗

the way he regressed in last year. 109. That was like... Yeah, no, that's actually very fair. That's my pick. As a PPR, that's my pick. A full PPR, for sure. It's ironic because my pick is none of the guys we have mentioned. My pick would be Danny Woodhead. Woodhead. I think in a full point PPR, he is the last two healthy years in a full point PPR. He's a running back one.

55:01 ↗

Yeah, I was looking between Greenbeck and Woodhead, but I'm going to throw Fitzgerald into the conversation just because of the PPR. I don't think you're going to get a Larry Fitzgerald who was a kind of like a touchdown machine in the first half of the year. I think you get more of the second half, which is the possession type of guy. You know what? I'm going Danny Woodhead. That's fine. I'm flipping to wood. I don't mind that at all. I'm going to lean Larry. I think 90 receptions is.

55:29 ↗

Pretty locked in. You gave them 94. There you go. I'm glad that you couldn't disprove me horribly by looking at my stance. So right around there. Definitely have them coming down. All right. So that does it for the mailbag on today's show. We will be back on Thursday. We will hit 9 through 16 and then maybe throw on a little extra sauce at the end. That's generous of you. You know, probably need to, well, probably still need to talk about like Doug Baldwin and...

55:57 ↗

I don't know where he ends up. I don't think he is in the top 16. I've done my best to push him up there. And a reminder for everybody on the website, the fancy footballers.com, you can go on there and we will be publishing our early rankings. These ones we're talking about in their entirety within the month of April. Very nice. They will be up there within the month of April. In their entirety, probably some changes. I will also say this.
