Mock Draft Show! + Rumor Mill, Lovable Scamps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 8/5

a wide receiver to go with Jefferson. Are your regrets gone of Kylie? They're starting to fade a little bit just because I feel like those are the last two players of the wide receiver position. He has some flows of the draft. Yeah. Follow along. Carter, Logan Thomas, Waddle, Stafford, Mike on the clock. All right. So he came back. I'm drafting this guy everywhere. I'm taking AJ Dylan, those giant meaty thighs. Yeah. Can't keep Mike away from some.

Thank you. All right. I am on the clock now. My running back depth is poor. I've got Austin Echler and David Johnson. I love the fact that I've got Kelsey and Brady and a great group of wide receivers, but my running back depth is bad. And I don't love the running backs that are on the board here. If I was to take a running back here, it would either be Devin Singletary or Neim Hines.

Two guys I don't really love or believe in. If I wanted to build more depth at wide receiver, I'm looking at another year two breakout option and Michael Pittman. You could go with, you know, Henry Ruggs. My Hollywood is still there. So, look, the reality is I'm not in love with any of those guys at any of these positions. That's the point where I'll take.

a weak running back. So I am going to grab Devin Singletary here. I think that is a backfield that's nebulous. He is a good running back and it's on a great offense. You took him over Jamal Williams, which I think is interesting. I would rather have the Bill's nebulous situation than the Detroit Lions. And Heinz is just someone I have a really hard time believing in if it's not full PPR. And this is half PPR. So I'm going to go that way and I'm going to grab just because I know Mike loves this guy.

I love grabbing your two wide receivers. I'm going to take Michael Pittman. Oh, come on. Michael Pittman gone to Mr. Moore, Tonianboro, Hollywood, Corey Davis, Mike Williams, and Mike is back on the clock. Can't draft AJ Dillon again here. Are you sure? And if you search, I don't know if you can search sleeper for quads. If you just search quads, it'll sort by the largest, but. All right. At the wide receiver position.

Interesting players of note to me. Devante Parker, Jason already highlighted Henry Ruggs. Marvin Jones here from the Jacktville Jaguars is at least interesting, which is good. Because if you're in the double-digit rounds, interest is your peak. Yes, give me at least interesting before I draft somebody. The camp reports, at least that I'm seeing. I don't know if you guys are seeing anything to the contrary, but just talking about Jacksonville.

Marvin Jones, everyone loves Leviska-Cenault. Don't have a problem with that. But Marvin Jones is getting talked about a lot as being a leader of this wide receiver bunch. I believe that. And Chanel went with the 11th pick of the ninth round. He was somebody I jotted down as a late round flyer, hoping he'd make it back to me. But where are you going to go here? And then at running back, you can just start going with those insurance running backs, go with the anti-fragile approach of Tony Pollard and Alexander Madison, see if they.

inherit a role and you know what i am i'm going to take tony pollard here with the there's i i have zeke so now i have that insurance built in there's the possibility that pollard gets used more than uh uh whispers that he'll be used more this particular year i'm particularly disappointed in the fact that darnel mooney mooney went with uh the pick right before me here uh disappointing i thought he'd be able to grab him i want

You know, your double-digit rounds, like you said. We still have to take a defense. There's three positional picks left. I want some shots at somebody that could come out in week one and surprise. That's kind of my goal at this point because I want to know if I have established value or not. I want to know early. And there are a couple of players in that category that are still available to me. One of them I will take. It's Henry Ruggs. I mean.

what's kind of comedic. Let me cross that name off. It's funny because, like, this is a pretty good offense. They were a top 10 type of scoring offense, and yet this is the first non-waller pass catcher off the board for them, right? I mean, Henry Ruggs, you're going to take the shot in the first round pick, having a year or two breakout like, you know, like Pittman, like Judy, like Ayuk or Lamb. I'm going to take the shot really late on Henry Ruggs.

which means I've gone four wide receivers in a row. And then I'm going to add a little bit of durability, weekly touches with Jamal Williams here in Detroit. Okay. I don't love it, you know what I mean? But 11th round should be involved. They're still maintaining the hot hand approach there in Detroit. So Gallup, Parker, Heinz, Edel Smith, and Mike, you have your third to last pick.

All right, so Marvin Jones did make it back to me. I am looking between Marvin Jones and Nelson Aguilar Wide Receiver for the New England Patriots, presumed number one wide receiver for the Patriots. Jason, you were just talking to a reporter out of the Boston area. Did they have any updates on the wide receiver battle?

That would help me influence this picture. Yeah, Nelson Agilor is the guy. Nelson Agalore has been. Over Jacobi Myers. Yes, over Jacobi Myers. Nelson Agilor has been shown out as looked great. They paid him a lot. Yeah, they paid him a lot. So that he's a guy that I assume you're about. That's all I needed to hear, Jason. Let me cross that name off my list.

Okay. You're back on the clock. You went Singletary Pittman with your last two picks. I was really hoping to have Latavius Murray here. I think he's a good super late round. If you're weak at running back, he can plug in in a pinch. Unfortunately, he went two picks earlier. There's no other running backs that I really want to take a shot at. I'm not going to stack Philip Lindsay with David Johnson or go for old man, Kevin Coleman. So I'm just going to take the players I want to take. That's going to be Elijah Moore.

I'm going to take the shot at maybe that week one breakout surprise. Rookie wide receiver for the New York Jets. Rookie wide receiver for the New York Jets. And so that I don't end up with the very, because I'm on the turn, I don't want to end up with the very last defense. I'm actually going to take my defense first tier with my second to last pick. Grab the Los Angeles Rams. Good, because I saw a name on the bottom of your list and he was going to be my last pick. No, that's my last pick. You cheated. You looked at my list. He was going to be my pick. You are a liar to scamp.

I am taking... What is it scamp? What is a scamp? I presume it's very negative. Is it like a scab? A scamp is a person, especially a child who is mischievous. A scamp in a scally way. Oh, no. Oh, no. What?

You are a scamp. It's a person, especially a child who is mischievous in a likable or amusing way. Oh, that's right. It's a lovable scamp. You old scamp. But anyways, back to the pick. Dang it. That was my last pick for sure. I took Trey Lance, a quarterback, rookie quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers. It's, I don't know if you will be able to take Trey Lance here by the time real drafts are happening. But this.

The fire is being stoked regularly out of San Francisco, out of camp. It could still be Jimmy Garapolo. That's why you're able to get Trey Lance in the 12th round as my last positional pick. But I'll take the upside because if he starts week one with that rushing ability. You'll really regret that Tanna Hill pick at that point. Yeah, maybe. All right. Take your last defense, Mike. I'm going to close out my draft here.

with, of course, the 12th round, AJ Green pick, the number two wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals, and then the Pittsburgh Steelers does my defense. Mike, you can wrap this thing up here. I'm trying to pull up the week one schedule real quick, real quick, because I haven't been paying attention. Yeah, you've been too busy podcasting. Well, yeah. Yeah, my bad. I'll take the Patriots against the Dolphins. All right. I'll bet against two of a week one.

Yeah, that makes sense. So Jason, you do have a final positional player to select. Yes, and I did find someone worth at least taking that week one flyer shot. Miles Sanders can't catch the ball. They did draft a great running back this year and can he gain well. We'll see if he's more involved than Boston Scott. Oh, yeah, Boston Scott. I doubt he makes the roster.

All right. Really? I think they drafted Kenny Gaywell to replace Boston Scott. We'll see. So to wrap things up, my team at running back McCaffrey, Edmonds, Moster, Jamal Williams. I have Kittle at Tightend, Murray at quarterback, and my wide outs are Justin Jefferson, Robbie Anderson, Brandon Cooks, Antonio Brown, Henry Ruggs, and of course, A.J. Green. Mike, your squad. I got Zeke.

Gibson, Giovante Williams, AJ Dillon, and then my insurance back, Tony Pollard. That rounds up my running backs at wide receiver, DJ Moore, Tyler Lockett, Debo, Samuel, and Nelson Agalore. If I have a deficit, it's definitely there. But I have Darren Waller as my starting tight end, which sort of makes up for the wide receivers. And then Ryan Tannenhill and the hopeful pick of Trey Lance at my quarterback.

I have Tom Brady at quarterback and Travis Kelsey at tight end. My wide receivers are Alan Robinson, C.D. Lamb, Brandon Ayuk, Deontay Johnson, Michael Pittman, and Elijah Moore. At running back, which is my weak spot. I've got Austin Echler, David Johnson, Devon Singletary, and Kenny Gainwell. One thing I've noticed from your mocks and your recent draft, I think, from last night is that you have been, I think, consistently hitting powerhouse wide receivers maybe

every time and consecutively in many drafts where you you end up having a run of three or four or five superstar wide receivers is the backbone of these teams. I really like starting running back, running back so that I can focus on that. This draft I went running back tied in and still focused on that. All right.
