First Mock Draft of 2019 + Dynasty Draft Tips

So taking a look at the quarterback landscape, every team but ours has a quarterback. A couple of teams have already taken their second quarterback. I want to wait as long as possible, but I think we are at the point here where we're running out of options where I would consider a guy in the high probability of putting up top 12 weeks on the reg.

Josh Allen will, but who else are you interested? To me, the pick would be James, James Winston. For fantasy, he's been great. I mean, he's not as great as the Big Ben, fella, down at the bottom. Sure. You can wait. Take Ben as your second quarterback. Yeah, I mean, that's one thing you need to keep in mind. If you want a Big Ben or a Tom Brady or one of these, Drew Breeze, even a lot of times, you can get them in the double-digit rounds because nobody wants a draft a guy who they think their career, they could retire at the end of next year.

they're wasting a draft pick, but yet this year, you ride them to a championship. All right, Mike, I'm going to hand over the pick to you on this one. Tough decisions. James Washington's still out there. Julian Edelman, still out there. You could go some, the youngster route. You could go the old man route. LaShawn McCoy. Oof. I'm looking at quarterback, and it's tough because James...

If we're going to go with Josh Allen as the one, I think you can wait. But Jimmy Hansom and James Winston, they're nice. I think they're nice here in the ninth round. I'm going to take Jimmy Hansom. Jimmy Garoppolo. Even coming off the ACL. The pick. James Washington, D.D. Westbrook next. C.J. Anderson, Austin, Dionne Lewis, James Winston. Dionne Lewis, James Winston. See you later. Drew Brees goes in the 10th round.

And we're coming back around to our pick, Dallas Goddard. Do you know who you would have picked with that last pick, Andy? I'm just curious. You gave it to Mike. I would have gone Winston. Yeah, I wouldn't have taken a quarterback. I would have been totally content pairing Josh Allen with Big Ben and having those as my main quarterbacks. It's understandable. And then drafting another depth, maybe one at the very end. But I probably would have gone wide receiver like James Washington. Probably would have done that. Here we are in the 10th round. I think we should move a little quicker.

To wrap. Our team right now, just grabbed Jimmy G. We've got, what, three running backs. We've got four wideouts. It's a two flex league. We got Zachertz. Is there any value to be had? I mean, look, O.J. Howard is sitting there somehow. That's got to be a bug in the system. That's got to be a little bit of a bug. Not necessarily. I mean, the guys who have gone. Well, he has massive upside, but he keeps getting season-ending injuries.

Yeah, if I was on, if I was in a draft and O.J. Howard was here, I'm not, he's not leaving the 10th round off my team. Do you feel confident enough in our roster? What about a guy like Jayae, though, where you could take him here? No. So I was looking at Jaya, I was, I was kind of considering Ajai. He's still younger. He could end up signing a good free agent contract. His legs are not young. But then I was like, if I had to decide right now between Jay Ajai and LaShaah McCoy, who's still available.

I think I'd rather get... I would take shady. I think I would rather take shady. Tyra Williams, Curtis Samuel, John Ross, Devin Funchis. I think I'd take O.J. Howard. Yeah, I think I would, too. O.J. Howard. The upside is just... It's too massive. Emmanuel Sanders, J. J. J. Off the board right after him. LaShawn. LaShawn McCoy.

I was really hoping either Ajay or McCoy got back to us at this next pick. Here's an interesting observation. Rob Grankowski in a dynasty startup, the third pick of the 11th round. Yeah. Sounds about too early. Well, you're at the point where... What would you do for one year of Grunk? If I told you you get the tight-in six. For a year and then he retires? I would say... 11th rounds. Okay.

Because you're at the point where you know if you just set your pick on fire, it's fine. You're in the 11th round. So there's a couple guys out there that are deeper. This is the time of the draft where you don't need to necessarily go ADP. You're deep enough where you take the guys you like. Look deeper on your lists and say who is out there that I think has a really good chance I want in a Dynasty League. There's guys out there like Geronimo Allison and Curtis Samuel.

that I like. You know, and whether they go now or three rounds later. What about Latavius Murray? Oh, my goodness. I was actually going to, I was going to bring him up when we were doing another running back. We were doing the Mark. Ingram talk. I was going to bring up the point of I would rather wait five rounds and take the guy in the Mark Ingram roll. Well, congratulations, Mike, because we just did. I guess we just did. Latius Murray is a great. We need wide receivers pick here. No. No, we need, we needed running backs too.

I was going to jump in and ask, are there any super high-level handcuffs out there or is it to really, you guys would do that? I'm probably not thinking that way in a dynasty. I'm probably trying to load my roster up with talent. Yeah, not yet. You've got a deep roster. Now, we're only drafting, what, five deep on this one for the sake of time, but, you know, that's where you're looking at guys like Elijah McGuire, Carlos Hyde, those are handcuffs. Big Ben, Philip Rivers went right before our pick here. We got two left.

We're in the 12th round. Two more rounds? Yeah, we're just going two more picks. Latavius Murray was off the board. We probably need to pick up a whiteout, maybe two of them. Options. I love Geronimo Allison. I know he only got a one-year deal, but he was seemingly the number two for Aaron Rogers. What about Deshaun Jackson? That's who I was going to go with. Deshaun Jackson's great. Just said a three-year deal. I would take the guy who took the three-year deal with a great quarterback.

I want that security blanket. I was trying to give to Sean Jackson away. Yeah. On one of my dynasty leagues for like six months. Nobody even, nobody would touch him with a 10-foot pole. Yeah, but as soon as you get a three-year contract, now keep in mind, probably only the first two years have guaranteed money, so he'll be cut. But still in that year three. Coming off a 20 touchdown season, you're wrong. But for the next two years, it's great. And when you're in a dynasty and you're doing deeper starting rosters, right? Multiple flex like this league.

That's where throwing a Deshawn Jackson type in that deep flex is fantastic. All right, Jason, don't worry about it. We got Geronimo Allison in the next round. Geronimo! All right, Dijacks, Geronimo Allison, Golden Tate, Keenan Allen, and DeAnd Andre Hopkins, the whiteouts for our roster. Devonthe Freeman, Chris Carson, Damian Williams, and Latavius Murray at running back. That's a position we'd have to fill out a little bit as the draft went on. Zachertz and O.J. Howard, I think we have the best tandem possible.

at tight-in. That would give you some trade leverage. And then Jimmy G at quarterback. Josh Allen was going to be my eventual. Oh, no. Oh, no. He went in the 12th round. He went with Ben. Yeah. You might have waited too long. Well, Jimmy G threw us off. That's all your fault, Mike. He's too handsome. He's handsome. We couldn't see passes. You'd rather have Jimmy G. than Josh Allen and Big Ben. You'd rather have. Yeah. So.

Why Jimmy G over James? Because James is in a contract year, and if he takes a big turd on the season, which he's been known to do. He's not a starting quarterback in two years. He's Ryan Tannehill in two years. So your guys fear is that James is one and done. That's just it's right. That there's a possibility. My fear is he's none and done. I side more with Jason that James Winston is going to have a great year, but wouldn't.

When I know that Garoppolo is the future for Kyle Shanahan's offense, then... Hold it. Oh. Are you saying that you think Tampa Bay has, like, that there's a chance they draft quarter, what are they, like, pick five or something? Are you saying that you think there's a chance James Winston is not the starting quarterback for 2019? No, I think he's going to be the starting quarterback. I think he means none as in is not good this year. Yeah, I'm putting, let's just rewind the tape. Okay. To a season ago.

Okay. When James Winston, this perennial superstar of your dreams that you love so much, couldn't even get his job back from Ryan Fitzpatrick. Hey, to be fair, he got it back twice. Yeah, thank you, Mike. Extra.

Look, there's not a long leash here with organizational confidence. Yes, he lost his job. I mean, he started the year suspended and then lost his job. But he also, in very few games, he finished as the number one, the number 10, the number eight, the number six, the number 11, the number three in those short games on a weekly basis. The guy puts up fantasy numbers. So did Blake Bortles. He's a backup now in Los Angeles.

Fair. Can he do it? Sure. But he's more of a Blake Bortle's comp than he has anybody else. The last defense for James when it comes to the benchings, Dirk Cutter knew he was going to lose his job if his team did not win. And when you start the season the way that Ryan Fitzpatrick started, you can't bench him. Like you have to go with the hot hand. Sure, sure. We've seen very inconsistent play from James Winston. Yes, agreed. I can get behind. He's got enough.

He's got a ceiling. That's great for fantasy players. But he's got a floor, and it's gross. It's a lot of interceptions. It's a movie theater floor. It's not, no. You need. That's going to make sound as you walk across. Yes. So we'll see. Look, I want to succeed. I want him to succeed. Stop. Oh, no. Get the soda on the ground? Yeah, that's me walking across. All right. We want to think Sleeper. We use the Sleeper app.

We use the mock draft online. And that's how we did the dynasty startup today. All right. And before we close this whole thing out, that was a fun mock. Let's go ahead and jump into... Pristine deal a day. Now, yesterday, Brooks, you actually had to message me because you couldn't believe... There were too many good deals. There were like four deals and you couldn't pick one. There are hundreds that are sold every single day on pristine auction.com. There was a Nick Chubb. Oh.

assigned Cleveland Brown's jersey. Please tell me this was us. $58.25. Do we have that bro? It was not us. Mike? You let us all down. Look. You made someone out there very happy. I let this one slide. Unbelievable. Well, I let myself down. Every day, hundreds of them. We were talking. There's a bunch of T. Yelton's out there right now. There was even Deshaun Watson under 100, which the good quarterbacks. That's hard to find. This is the time to get in.
