Head-to-Head Mock Draft Episode! - Fantasy Football Podcast

on the board that I really want to take, even though I think my team, I need wide receivers to balance, but I can't pass up on the value of this. Just in case we are overestimating how much the 49ers love Rahim Mostert, I'm going to take Tevin Coleman. All right, so Tevin Coleman in the 10th round, first pick of the 10th round, surprisingly one of your favorite sleepers, Antonio Gibson, went next.

I was, I could say this. Do you feel some regret? Wouldn't you rather have him on your team? I could say this for sure because I was already, I was already looking. I expected Gibson to be able to come to my next pick, and there was no chance he was getting back to you, Mike, because Gibson was my pick. Mike, Mike's face is the face of a man who has Tevin Coleman instead of Antonio Gibson on his roster. Oh, he's so sad. I'm not happy. Oh, man. You know, it's great when you can love someone and still be so happy for their sadness.

Yeah. I love you, Mike. Your sadness brings me great, great joy. That's what me and Hollywood think about you, Jay. Oh, I don't like you, though. So who got him? Computer? Computer. Computer got him. Team 11. Oh, man. Hunter Henry went next. Hunter Henry could be just ordinary, right? Yeah. I'm back on the clock. I'm really looking at wide receiver at this point.

And I think I'm going to do what Mike did, which is kind of you're at this point in the draft where you're not looking at just, you know, where your projections necessarily perfectly rank somebody. You're trying to take a shot on a player that you like. And there are a couple of players that are in that category for me. I'm going to take Deshaun Jackson. I'm going to take the shot on. What is happening? Mike's entire draft is unraveling. Falling apart.

I'm taking to Sean Jackson in the 10th round. It's great when the 10th round picks can make you unravel. It's spectacular. Mike had been picturing Antonio Gibson to Sean Jackson filling it up.

And here we go. Deshaun Jackson joins my roster. Dale Henderson goes next. Jason takes Evan Ingram. I take him super quick because that's if I, that's who I have been. Evan Angram there is ridiculous. Yeah, 10th round pick. That's who I expected you to take, Mike. I totally understand the logic for going Hig Beast. I probably would have taken whoever was left over, but I'm happy. Did you call him Hig Beast? Yeah.

That's what he was at the very end of the year. He was, yes. So I looked this up while you were talking because it's always just so fun. Those last five games, he was on pace for 1,670 yards on 138 receptions at tight end Higbeast. All right. So now I'm at the point where... What is that? Michael's Secret sauce or whatever from Space Jam. That's what Tyler Higby. Special stuff, Michael's special stuff. This is where you go off of your...

ordered Rankings. You pick the players that you love. Do you want to fill in who was picked here, Andy? Real quick. You took Ingram. Grancowski was the one I wanted to bring up. He ended up going a few picks later. You didn't go Grunk. You went Ingram. Austin Hooper, big time tied in last year. Also went right after Grunkowski. And then another highlight worth mentioning Anthony McFarland. You're in backup running back range. Tony Pollard, Boston Scott. You're back on the clock. I'm back on the clock. And this is where I'm going to look for.

Still need a quarterback, still need a defense before these last three things. Usually I'm going to look off the rankings and find my highest upside guy. Someone that's a deep sleeper swing for the fences. That being said, I'm going to draft a player here that I have not drafted in as long as I can remember. He was always cost way too much. And I don't even really love him going forward. But this pick will make Al Borland happy. I am taking Jordan Love's backup, Aaron Rogers.

here because look at this point in the draft i'm going to take the shot that maybe he is this you know he actually is the starter right i'm going to take the guess that he is actually the starter but you know with devonte adams back and another year under this system maybe he gets back to throw on 35 touchdowns so i in the 11th round i'm happy to do it all right Aaron rogers your quarterback in the 11th round my how times have changed Robbie Anderson went next

I'm on the clock. I just took to Sean Jackson. I don't know if you knew that, Mike. I heard. My next pick is going to surprise you, but it is contextual. And it's Damian Harris. I'm taking Damian Harris with the 11th, with the ninth pick of the 11th round, Sony Michelle, the fragile Sony Michelle. I want to see what happens. Interesting. And I'm willing to kind of gamble with what could be a pretty good team with Cam Newton.

and making sure that I have that backfield locked up. Chase Edmonds went next. Matthew Stafford and Mike, you have two of your last three picks right now. All right. So one of these picks is going to be really boring, but we're at the point of the draft where it's value. Jameson Crowder is going to see a lot of targets. I don't know if he can turn that into...

sustained fantasy value. You managed to put Golden Tate and James and Carter on the same roster. I did it. But I'm only counting them. I'm not combining stats for you. You don't need to. They're going to be really okay. All right. And then from my last pick, I got to just, I got to fly. I got a sore. Does this make you take a defense? You need to take one. Well, I still have a bench spot to fill. So I can still try.

to become airborne and sore like an eagle. And I don't know where to go because that's usually at this point of the draft, I am in the atmosphere. Yeah, I'm at Antonio Gibson. Yeah, I'm at Antonio Gibson's back. We are best friends and we are looking at clouds, just enjoying a nice day. But I can't do that in this draft. All right, I will take the shot. Oh, my goodness. All right.

Cam Newton, I need you to do something, buddy. Oh. Taking Nikiel Harry? I'm going to take Nikiel Harry, who could turn into Cam Newton's number one. Probably not with Edelman still there, but first round talent, first round ability. Can he get it back on track? Okay. All right. I don't mind that pick. He was somebody I was thinking about. With my last positional selection here before a defense, I'm going to go with.

Jalen Rake. Oh, come on, man. That's so stupid. I love every player that I've ended up with here. But I'm taking Jailen Rager, which almost feels like some sort of like insurance policy on Dishon Jackson. But I just don't know how things are going to shake out. Rager with my last position. No, I've got to find a pick. Well, that is how the draft works.

That's not fair. You should always get whoever you want the most. You want to run off some of my favorites? Yeah, please. Yes, Mike. Illuminate. Okay. You got Jerich McKinnon, obviously. Chris Thompson, I think is interesting for Jacksonville. Depending on how you feel with Justin Jackson for the Chargers. I can't tell if Mike's given real ones or fake ones. They sound real ones. I was going to get fake ones. Kiki QT still available, Jason? Dante Pettis. But not Dante Pettis, but you could get.

Brandon, are you looking? You could? He could be the number one on that team for a little bit. Probably not. Sammy Watkins is available. I honestly thought about taking Sammy Watkins. I, yeah, this is gross. Okay, so if this is where we are, and I'll be honest with you, I don't really like.

any of these options, any more than the rest. I was so positive I was getting Jalen Rager. I was going to double up with Judy and Rager. I think those two guys have a chance to week one just really show they are exceptionally talented and they are involved in the team. And if not, you move on. So I'm going to actually draft the New England Patriots. It's one pick ahead of where I would usually do it. I'm a last round guy. But I actually do see a difference between their defense and some of the others. So I might as well grab them first.

And by doing so, you extended the show to one more positional pick for your team. So go ahead and close it out with the last dart throw on your roster before I read out our teams. In fact, I will begin by just reading off my final team as you think, Jason. I've got Drew Breeze, quarterback. My running backs are Josh Jacobs, Kenyon Drake, David Montgomery, Sony Michelle and Damian Harris. My wide receivers, Cooper Cup and Robert Woods, that interesting combo.

Hollywood Brown to Sean Jackson and Jalen Rager. My tight end is Jared Cook, and that is my roster. Now, Mike, you want to read yours off? So I have my number three quarterback, Kyler Murray, who if anyone's a dark horse to sneak into the number one spot, I would put those chips on Kyler-Kyler-Kyngram, Ronald Jones. Ingram was a steal for you. Tevin Coleman, yeah, it's very happy with then.

Those are my running backs, and then wide receiver, DJ Moore, DJ Chark. And then I got Golden Tate, McKeel Harry, and Jameson Crowder, and the Higbeast. Tyler Higby is my tight end. And I ended up going with Chris Thompson. If we believe what we believe about Leonard Fournett and the passing work going away. So my running backs are Dalvin Cook, Miles Sanders, David Johnson, Kreme Hunt, Alexander Madison, and Chris Thompson at wide receiver. I have Amari Cooper.

Terry McLaurin, Michael Gallup, Jerry Judy, and I have Aaron Rogers and Evan Ingram in my one Z positions. All right. With the Patriots. That was pretty interesting. That was fun. It's always a different Higbeast, so to speak, to go one team for each of us. It's a little bit harder to get through everything on the show, a little bit less time to think. But I think it was pretty interesting. Kyler Marie in the 5th surprised me.

ending up with Mark Ingram in the 6, Mike, it was a steal. Obviously, those picks back to back, but Ronald Jones in the seventh round, not a bad draft. Not a bad draft. Kevin Coleman.
