As I say 95%. Gurley and Peterson, sure, because they're basically like a tiebreaker to me. Yeah. Okay. So there's the 5% for me. All right. Yeah, I think it's going to be redraft. You would draft accordingly. You're going to go into your draft thinking, oh, I got this guy in the second round. He's my keeper. And you'll, by the end of next year, you'll have grabbed someone off waivers, who is your better keeper option moving forward. So don't even think of terms of...

53:32 ↗

of multi years. Just think of this year and a little bit. Think of next year. People make a lot of mistakes in small keeper leagues.

53:39 ↗

caring about age. In a small keeper league, I agree. I agree with that. I'd rather side on the side of what you said right there with redraft mentality. By the way, if you have a question, you can submit one of the show. Go to the website, the fancy footballers.com, click the submit a question button or dial us up 302464 TFFB. Leave a message on our voicemail hotline. That last question was from Matt in Los Angeles. This one is from Al in Maui. His question is about two wide receivers from the same team.

54:05 ↗

And he says, go outside. You live in Maui. He says, Aloha, gentlemen. Bonsure. I'll make this quick. What do you guys think about drafting both Golden Tate and Marvin Jones? I thought he said Golden State. And I was like, don't, no, no, don't draft Golden State right now. Both Golden Tate and Marvin Jones or John Brown and Michael Floyd and then seeing if one of them is the favorite of their quarterback. A standard eight-team league.

54:30 ↗

I would be much more willing to do the Golden Tate Marvin Jones because it doesn't cost as much. John Brown and Michael Floyd, I mean, because Marvin Jones is going in the ninth. I'm okay with that, but to be honest, I probably won't do that strategy. I think you could throw in Doug Ball and Tyler Lockett in here as well as far as like if you want to go down that strategy. I'm probably going to pick the guy I think's going to win and then keep picking other guys I think are going to win. Yeah, it makes it hard only because of the way he framed it with the idea of,

55:00 ↗

Then seeing, you know, if you see that one's the favorite, what are you doing with the other guy? And what was the cost of having both versus picking somebody else? I mean, wouldn't you rather draft, for example, I don't know, Golden Tate and John Brown, if you believed beforehand that both guys were the likely one to be the guy? Yeah, and what happens if they end up being 50-50?

55:21 ↗

And neither of them is the superstar, and now you don't have the guy that exploded, but you can't really cut either or trade either. I don't think it's going to pan out for you in these situations. Not necessarily opposed to drafting two guys of a good offense, but you have to do it with the mentality of, okay, I'm going to play them both, or I'm going to use them both. I'm going to use Cobb and Jordan Nelson, something like that. And so, yeah, that is it for today's mailbag segment. I do want to take a second. I want to tell everybody about the Ultimate Draft Kit over at Ultimate DraftKit.com.

55:50 ↗

Here's a little bit of what we have jam-packed inside this thing that we've been building for several months. There are 100-plus video profiles. This show is on YouTube. We do the video of the show. You can go watch it. We took the time to make 100-plus video profiles. You don't get that in a magazine or a draft magazine that you can get at the supermarket.

56:09 ↗

There are expert rankings. You can get our free rankings on the website. If you want to see more detailed information like risk ratings and our projections in actual number format, they're inside of the ultimate draft kit. We've got analysis, blurbs on every player. We've got the ability to export to PDF, a lot of different scoring systems. We have tiers in the system now. We've got printable cheat sheets. All of our lists on sleepers, breakout, busts, values, reports on...

56:37 ↗

coaching changes and rookies coming in, just pretty much everything you need for your draft. And we're always working on it. Yeah. We're always making improvements. We're taking feedback. Like, oh, you want to see this? Well, we're working on it. We are going to get it in there. Yeah, absolutely. So check it out. UltimateDraftKit.com. I know a bunch of you already have it and are enjoying it and sending us feedback on things you'd like to see inside of it. And we're listening to those and we're going to keep improving it. So we'll be back next.

57:03 ↗

Tuesday with another great show. We have a lot of things on the docket for the next couple of months. We're moving to three shows, like we said in July. We're going to do a lot of mailbag answering your questions, dynasty keeper, redraft, trade, commissioner questions, auction league questions, whatever you have. Personal questions. Personal questions. You know, should you get married? Should you not get married? Is she the one? Send those in. My diet. Your diet? Yeah, you want.

57:30 ↗

We are not the crowd to ask dietary questions. No, I'm putting on the bulk, the mass, and then I'm going to cut. Oh, okay. Does that work? It's a really, really long-term plan. Mike is waiting with anticipation for the, like, diet sponsor to come along for this show where we feel like an obligation to follow the plan. We have some weight to lose, so if there's a diet sponsor out there, you're going to see results. Yeah, we've been investing in this podcast, and now it's time for that investment to pay off.

58:00 ↗

assuming we're still alive when the sponsorship comes through. So that is it today. Any parting words? Go to YouTube. We're going to talk about some airplane tales from our voyage to New York City. Yeah, some stories from the plane. It's always fun to travel, right? Sometimes. Oh, I miss Legroom. Goodbye.
