Fantasy Football Podcast and Live Draft

We have six bench spots. So that's almost like we have an... To me, what I'm used to, that's almost like an extra bench spot. Yeah. So might as well just take James Starks. Watch them go. That would make no sense with the players left on the board. Oh, man. So how do you feel about our team? Let's go through it. I have some... I feel like...

I'm a big fan of what we've got at running back, believe it or not. I love our running backs. And I'm comfortable with our quarterback. I think we've got upside at tight end and James Starks is being drafted right now. I feel pretty comfy. I hope that Randall Cobb and Golden Tate produced in those two other wide receivers. I suppose something we didn't touch on is a lot of people don't like to have a wide receiver and running back on the same team. Yeah, that's something. But to me,

Prolific offense. Well, I think that I have that just weird gut feeling the Bears will be the top offense. The Packers are going to be in the top three. So I do not mind at all having Eddie Lacey and Randall Cobb. Or if we had Johnny Nelson, I would not mind. Rob Garcadowski and Stephen Ridley from a couple of years back. Right. Been just fine, too. Or in last year, I mean, it was a record. There are Sproles and Marcus Colston. You know, there's lots of prolific offices that are fine. I mean, last year you could have taken.

Every member of the Denver offense looked like an idiot in your draft and then ended up in the title game. Right. If you had Peyton Manning, No, Sean Moreno last year, Demarius Thomas, Eric Decker had wide receivers. Julius Thomas. And Julius Thomas that tied in. You would have been just fine. Isn't that incredible? That's a good offense. That's no Cleveland Browns. That's no Buffalo Bills. No, that is not. So best kicker. This is really what people sitting around to listen to. Yeah, that's why they're hanging on the edge of their seats. Oh, Dan Bailey.

You like Dan Bailey? He's going to get a lot of chances. But yeah, I don't care. I feel actually like I'm doing something wrong, even talking about kickers right now. You've got to do it. So guys I like Dan Bailey, I'd probably still, I would lean toward, I like Robbie Gold on the Bears. We got two bears already. Yeah, but there's nothing wrong with having the kicker. If they get stopped, then we can still get some points. You know what I mean? All in.

All in on the Bears. Dog Bears. Kickers. What are we doing with our lives for kickers? Oh, pick one or random. That's my philosophy on kickers. The strategy I sometimes employ is I will pick the kicker with the furthest away by week. Yeah. So I just don't have to worry about it. Sometimes I'll pick the kicker that's playing on the Thursday night game or the Sunday night game, so I have a player to watch.

Uh, and kickers are around for our amusement, I think is the lesson. And last year when I did that strategy of take the kicker with the furthest way by week, you know who I got? Steven Hauska. Yeah, not bad. Um, let's see here. Pick the guy who's made the most 50-yard field goals. Uh, okay. So last year, that would be Dan Bailey or Graham Ganoe. Don't you know? Yeah, that offense kind of sucks. The Dan Bailey is my pick. All right, I'm fine. Go, Dan Bailey.

So overall, if you're confident in Golden Tate, I think our team turned out really darn well. And you have a nice mix in Marshall and Cobb of some PPR. And, you know, Randolph is a standard league, so there's no PPR. Well, I'm sorry. I mean, you have a mix of touchdown heavy and reception heavy type of possession guy. Oh, a possession guy. Yeah. Somebody who, you know, is going to give you solid numbers, even in a non-PPR. Oh, Dan Bailey got drafted. All right, shut this down. We're done.

Grab the Denver guy. What's his McMahonamanus? Or grab the guy from Denver, grab the guy from the new kicker in Philly. Jay Philly, the Arizona kicker. Is Parquet available? Parquet? I don't even know who you're talking about. The new kicker in Philadelphia. Oh, yeah, because Henry got cut. Yeah, yeah. I think that's an offense that'll just be crazy. You type of name in or no? Oh, right at the bottom. This is just a lesson on how to use.

Cody? Cody Park. Oh, people, this is the, this is a steal. No one even knows about this guy. Yeah, not even you. I knew Henry got cut. I didn't know. Yeah, there you go. Now you get the kicker in one of the better offenses in football. Answer me this. Who is the kicker in New Orleans right now? Nobody. That is correct. Nobody. You know, there's a lot of teams like that right now. Do you notice that?

Tennessee, I don't think, has a kicker. There's like Kansas City might not have a kicker. That's crazy. It's like 5 or 6, 17. They just cut them all. They play a professional football game. On Thursday. The Saints don't play. No. The Saints don't. Well, I just mean, yeah, the league is about to start here. The league opens Thursday. They have a game on Sunday. They don't have a kicker. That shows exactly what people think of kickers. The draft is coming to a close. Order your Bente jersey right now. Online.

Ben Tate. Can't believe you've talked me into Ben Tate. I love it. Cleveland. So let's see. The last pick of the draft. Oh, Andre Holmes, he's another rookie running back who he didn't talk about. No, he's a wide receiver for him. Is he? Yeah, yes. But he's a rookie, right? Nope. Who am I thinking of? Who am I thinking of? Yeah, Andre Holmes is a pretty up-and-coming. Yes, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Then I can't remember which running back. They might have a homes.

Hey, someone did take McManus. Somebody else is paying attention. Yeah, for four weeks. There you go. You want to worry about having to find a new kicker? That's why I said parquet. Parquet, my friend. Cody, parquet. Come on, boss. Hodge, what's going on here? Any overall thoughts as we shut this down? Draft just completed. Didn't even let us see the last guy. Well, I want to see who the last pick was. A very last pick of the draft. Oh, Matt Bryant. Great pick. Solid. Great pick. 180, number 180.

What do they call that in the NFL draft? Mr. Irrelevant. There you go. So there you go. There's our team. Final run down here. Starting quarterback is Jay Cutler. Let's go by round. Let's go by round. So first round pick was Eddie Lacey. Second round, we grabbed Brandon Marshall. Third round, we picked up Rano Cobb. And the fourth, we got Ben Tate. And the fifth we got his brother. No, not his brother. But we got Golden Tate. Jay Cutler in the sixth.

Kyle Rudolph in the 7th, Jeremy Hill in the 8th. A little hot. That's the pick of the draft. No way. But he's solid. We wouldn't have got him if we didn't take him there. You're right. Stephen Ridley came back around to us in the 9th. And then Ingram in the 10th. We thought we were deciding between all three of those guys. Yeah, we got them. James Jones in the 11th. Cincinnati's defense in the 13th. James Starks to handcuff Lacey in the 14th. And Cody Parquet, everybody's favorite. Cody Park. Is it Parkey or is it Parkey? Yeah. Who knows? He doesn't even have a picture.

But that's our team. Cody Parkey. I hope his name is Cody Parkey. It probably is. That is a name. Hey, Cody Parkey. We said Parquet about 18 times. Sorry, buddy. We thought he was French. So that will conclude this podcast. That's a long time. That is a long podcast. So.

Oh, maybe a good beta test. Thanks to our moms and dads who will listen to this podcast. Maybe if we're lucky. And then, yeah, they'll go about 40 minutes and then say this is just, this is just dumb. So thanks for listening. Hopefully this works out. Yeah, we may or may not even post this. That is a very, very true, accurate statement. But if we don't post it, or if we do post it, I should say, the fantasy footballers.com. Check us out.
