Head-to-Head Mock Draft Episode! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 6/28

an interesting value that people have not wanted to commit to due to Godwin's ambiguous timeline, but Brown was good with Godwin and Evans there. So it's not like he would go to nothing. No, he wouldn't go to nothing. But obviously there is a large talent gap between Antonio Brown and Russell Gage. Antonio Brown being the more talented, if there was any question there.

The Wall Street Journal's Andrew Beaton reports that the NFL will be pushing for an indefinite suspension that would last no shorter than one year for Deshawn Watson, who has settled 20 of his 24 cases last I had checked. Yeah, that case will be heard today and possibly tomorrow. And then after that, we don't know whether the judge will ask for more information or whether she will basically hand out her.

ruling and then both sides can go and and you know bemoan the ruling the NFL side is asking for an indefinite or at least rumored allegedly to be asking for indefinite no shorter than a year the Deshawn Watson side is arguing for nothing and that he did not violate the code of conduct and so we'll and there's the NFLPA that's involved so right um we should know very soon though

Yeah, I think he's going to miss the year. Both of us in the Oldman draft kit, if you've got it and you've looked at our rankings, you could see how players are moving and changing. Both of us have changed our Deshaun Watson games played this year to zero. And it'll be the Jacoby Brissette show, if that's the case, in Cleveland.

which has ramifications for Amari Cooper, Donovan Peoples Jones, David Bell, Nick Chubb. Cream Hunt, everybody. It's not good for the majority of the offense. Alvin Camara, it has been reported from pro football talk. Mike Florio saying that he is bracing Alvin Camara for a suspension of at least six games. Uh-oh.

Yeah, he had the altercation during the Pro Bowl. I think it was the night of the Pro Bowl last year in Las Vegas. So it's still TBD. This is Mike Florio is both plugged in and the worst. So I'm hedging here. I'm not just guaranteeing that he misses six games. I'm going to wait and see.

I know you factor. I mean, we do have to factor in a suspension will likely come of some capacity, right? So you had factored in like maybe a four game when you're looking at. I did three games. Three games. Okay. I took the six. We'll see six. I was shocked to hear that number. But I did draft Mark Ingram with the very last pick of a recent basketball draft. And there's going to be some amount of games again where Tony, Tony Brooks, James Jones, Jr. baby.

Yeah, it's Mark Ingraham. No, it's Mark Ingraham's going to be... But like a couple games there. Absolutely. He'll be a fine play. And what's happening right now, if you're playing on an underdog, you're doing best ball, you're getting a best ball mania. It's very interesting because right now, Camara's value is dipped down as if it's a six-game suspension. You can get them in the back of the third round, which obviously if that comes through...

Well, you probably didn't even want to draft him. But if it, you know, if all of a sudden the suspension is pushed into 2023, which, you know, they let the legal procedure go, you can end up with a real value there. So it's, you just got to call your shot. And then right now, Steelers quarterback, rookie Kenny Pickett, working exclusively with the third string offense in OTAs in mini camp. I made the switch.

To Trubisky? I did. I made the switch to Trubisky. I know earlier in the offseason, we had a Splain Yourself episode where I was very low on Deontay Johnson. It was basically because of Kenny Pickett, primarily. That was the predominant reason. I have changed. I'm sure people still think I'm too low on Deontay Johnson, but I think he was my wide receiver 22 or so after the- After the Trubisky switchover. Which I think he finished right on the edge of the wide receiver run one category last year. Correct.

Okay. All right. I think that is it for the news. Let's take a quick break and we'll jump into the mock. What's up, Foot Clan?

Normally we are, I mean, we're pretty good friends, but, you know, every once in a while you get a head-to-head mock draft and, you know, it's time to put on the gloves. The fantasy footballers mock draft. Today we are.

Taking part in a head-to-head mock draft, 12-team, half-PPR league, one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, one tight-in, one flex four bench. Jason was given the sixth spot in this draft. I was handed the eighth pick, and, you know, we'll be probably stealing picks from each other all draft long. We will. I really don't enjoy, I have found so far this year that I enjoy being closer to the turn.

I like being. Do you? I feel like you might not like any of the spots. No. You wouldn't like all of my spots or none of the spots. I'll tell you what. I hate fantasy football. It is brutal out there. Oh. No, I like the first three spots and I like being closer to the turn. This middle pick. So I'm at spot six here. That is usually where I have to decide between a running back that is good, very good.

but not elite necessarily, not an advantage over all other running backs or to switch to wide receiver. Yep, let's kick it off. Jonathan Taylor went 101, Derek Henry at 102, Christian McCaffrey at 103, Ackler at 4, and Dalvin Cook at 5, all the running backs off the board so far. And Jason, here you are. 106, you got that decision to make. Is it going to be Cooper Cup, or are you going to turn to a...

So at running back here, with the Trubisky change, Najee Harris is my running back five right now. So he would be the running back I would take over Joe Mixing, over D'Andre Swift, two players that I also really like. But again, I feel like, you know, Najee is a volume guy that is...

he's not going to be a top three running back. He's just going to be a very good running back this year. Same with Joe Mixen and probably the same with D'Andre Swift, whereas I truly believe that Cooper Cup will repeat as the number one wide receiver. So when I'm staring that down, I know that running back scarcity is legitimate and it's hard when you don't get a couple of them in the first early rounds, but I want the elite talent when I have the chance to take elite talent, and I do, so I'm taking Cooper Cup.

All right, so Cooper Cop. And I hope that's who you wanted. Well, I would have taken him at 108. Yes, I would have. Jefferson goes next, and then I'm staring down a similar kind of situation. I'm lower on Najee Harris. I know I'm coming back around in the second here with running backs that I really like. Aaron Jones, likely to drop to me in the second round. Ezekiel Elliott, somebody that I am.

Pretty bullish on. So I think I'm going to take my shot at a premier whiteout. I will go with Jamar Chase at 108. Cup, Jefferson Chase are kind of in that upper tier. Mixing goes next. Naji at 110, Devante Adams at 111, Travis Kelsey at 112.

Jason, you have an expression of disgust, surprise. What is it? No, it's what I said earlier. I like being at, you know, the first three or the last three. If you were Team 10 here, I would have got Najee Harris, a player that I thought was good enough to look at, you know, at that sixth spot. And then he comes around in the second round and adds Stefan Diggs, an elite wide receiver. That, to me, is better than these middle picks. You've got Kelsey wrapping up the first round, like I said.

DeAndre Swift at 201, Tyreek Hill at 202, Stefan Diggs at 203. Diggs would have been tempting for me going wide receiver, wide receiver. If he got back around to the 205, he didn't. You've got Nick Chubb here at 204 who, look, I don't know exactly what to make of the quarterback situation in Cleveland, but more of the same is probably what you'll get from Chubb if it's Jacoby Brissette for the entire year.
