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

which is pretty good. Yeah, I mean, if Jacoby Percette is the quarterback, Chubb is the offense. And so I actually think Nick Chubb is a phenomenal pick for where he's going right now in drafts. The worst that the offense looks, because Nick Chubb wasn't being.

You know, it's, oh, it's Deshaun Watson's team. We're not sure he's going to be splitting. He wasn't being drafted as a top, top elite running back. And now if the news gets worse for Cleveland, he might even drop an ADP from where he was. This is actually decently high for where I've seen him going, but I do think he has a very good fantasy season. And Ezekiel Elliott is still on the board. Yeah, yeah, you're trying to talk me into Zeke here. Just letting you know.

What's difficult is this is that Alvin Kamara discussion we just had. I mean, Camara, normally these players, that first round, you're seeing, you're seeing them go a pick later because Kamara's in the mix for that first, you know, eight or nine picks. And now it's a gamble. It's a bet on how many games he's going to miss and what that means. If it's three games like Jason said, look, he's a valuable pick here at 205. If it's a three game, would you agree with that that he's a valuable pick?

I know you're trying to manipulate me in the draft. It is really tough because I want the Foot Clan to get good information, but I really want to ruin your team as much as I can. That is just the competitor in me. Yeah. But no, I think if it turns out to be a three-game suspension, if you knew three games or fewer, then this is a great spot for him. In the second round, I would take that for sure. I would. The issue here is...

There's obviously, you know, Florio is reporting that they're bracing for a six game. And if it's a six game suspension, then that's not a good spot in the second. I know. I know it's tough. And the Mark Andrews is also sitting here as a possibility. I think I'm going to go with the running back and feel most comfortable with at this spot, which is it's not Alvin Camero with the potential for a six game suspension.

You know, it's not Giovante with the committee right now, but it's Aaron Jones. That's wonderful news. The biggest beneficiary of the target absence, Devante Adams being gone. I quit. Jamar Chase and Aaron. So of all the manipulation, I didn't know who you wanted me to take. I took the guy you wanted. What's funny is I had looked at this earlier when I knew I was at the sixth spot and decided I was going to go cup because I didn't want that running back.

And I thought in the second round, Aaron Jones will make it to me. Right. And he would have. Yeah, except you love Aaron Jones. I do. And you're a Rapscallion. That's right. And I'm, when you said it earlier, when, like you were, you were just describing. I was just going through a few options. When you were on your first pick, about to take Jumar Chase and you said, oh, there's running backs. I'll get the second. And the first name you said was Aaron Jones. Oh, I'm sure I made a look on accident because I was like, no, that was my plan. I wanted Aaron Jones in the second.

Well, I have Jamar Chase in the first, Aaron Jones in the second. But here, here's the gift that I gave you, Jason. I convinced Team 7, the team right after me, to go with a quarterback in the second round. So Josh Allen off the board at 206 after my Aaron Jones pick. You have Cooper Cup in the first and you're on the clock in the second round with a decision to make. Yeah, it is. Is this the Alvin Camara? Alvin Camara is certainly in the running here. And if there's not another.

great running back that I think, you know, right now I've statted out Alvin Kamara to miss three games. And while almost all running backs will miss, you know, two games or so, we stat them out for a full season. It's the easiest way to kind of get a good per game ranking. And so when I look, I am kind of sad to see because I'm not a huge believer in this.

But Ezekiel Elliott would be my next highest running back with the three games missing. Then it would be Alvin Kamera. So I'm going to take Zeke here. I wish that I could trade you Zeke for Aaron Jones. I think he'll be more involved in the passing game, have a ton of touchdown upside. But you could do worse than Cooper Cup and Ezekiel Elliott to start. And that's how I'll begin. That one's tough because I don't think Zieg would have gotten back around to you, but I think you would have felt.

a little more excited about getting him in the early third round or something of that nature. Mark Andrews goes next. So that temptation, I wasn't sure if he'd be a temptation for you there. I would have gotten into that. If, no, I love Mark Andrews at that spot. The 207, I will draft Mark Andrews almost every time that I took a running back to start. But if I'm going to go wide receiver in the beginning and then no second round running back, I feel almost pot committed to.

changed to a zero-r-r-b, and I don't like doing that in most of these formats. Well, after your Zeke Pickwin, Andrews, Lamb, and then Alvin Camara finally found his home at 210, which means that Team 3 ended up with McCaffrey and Camara. So... It's dangerous. I mean, that is... They might have no running backs. Yeah, exactly. And then Saquan goes next, Giovante at 212. Let's talk Saquan for a second. Okay. Have you seen the photographs?

Have you seen? I know. You have not seen them circling. Are they his quadriceps? No, no. It's full shirtless, uh, hulking man right now. And, and, uh, see, it's the legs I need to see. Yeah. I want to know the legs are okay. The legs are looking good in that picture, man. Uh, it, I think I, I think I found the picture. Yeah. You, you'll, you'll know when you see it. Um, reminiscent of those D.K. Metcalf pictures, uh, from long ago.

He looks at great shape. The headline of this article on Saquan with this picture says, Sequin trains to dominate the NFL. Okay. So, I mean, he's the one. He's the guy that's going to train for it. Set your sights on domination. But he is interesting to me because I have complete blinders on Sequin. I called him as a bust a couple years ago and then doubled down last year. And I, I haven't seen anything. It's kind of like confirmation bias.

where I haven't seen him good on the field. But at the same time, he's still very young. He's coming off of an injury now fully recovered a year in addition. The opportunity, the depth chart is great. He is someone that I feel like I could be making a mistake on. I haven't drafted him anywhere on any best ball league, on any mock draft. I don't even consider him. And I feel like that could be a massive mistake. Like he could.

he has the opportunity here to still dominate this year. It's just a matter of if he's healthy. Yeah, I mean, there are a category of players like a Leonard Fournett who you know it's not likely they're going to surprise you at this spot in the draft where they go. But Sequin is in a category where he could surprise you. He could come out and with Brian Dable's offense and things retooled in the passing game. Like he could be somebody that we look at and say, why did he fall to the end of the second round?

Javante, Debo, Kyle Pitts at 302. Man, I have not taken Kyle Pitts or thought about taking Kyle Pitts in any mock drafts anywhere. He is constantly the third tight end off the board. He is being drafted for the hopeful breakout. I do think it'll be difficult with Mariotta, but the talent and skill is clearly there. Evans, Mike Evans there at 303, Leonard Fournett.

his teammate at 304 and then Justin Herbert off the board. Jason, you are back on the clock. This is an easy pick for me because when you're in the middle of the third round, there are two running backs that I think are just completely mispriced. One is Leonard Fournett, who was just drafted, the other is James Connor. I think both of these guys, I just love them in the third round. They have been very valuable for fantasy. They are on great.

offensive rosters. The touchdown upside for both guys is great. They don't even have to be that efficient because they are so clearly the lead dog. So I will take James Connor to go with Zeke and Cooper Cup. I'm off to just such a better start than you. What's frustrating is in my head, when I saw that one of us was on the clock, in my head it was me. So I was already going through the motions of who I was going to pick. I had seen James Connor's name on the board there.

But the only name that I was toying with other than James Connor was David Montgomery, a player that I am a little bit higher on than the rest of the group here. So I will make that running back choice here and go with David Montgomery. It is never going to be a sexy pick to take David Montgomery. That's true. But the volume and his production overtime and how much he is the center of this offense, I do have confidence that he is a...

a stabilizer for your team. It's really interesting that we've gone back and forth with kind of taking the running back ahead of each other in each of those rounds. Because when I look at them together, like a trade, would you rather have Ezekiel Elliott and James Connor or Aaron Jones and David Montgomery? I think it's super close. I actually would.

I think lean my side. I'm much more bullish on James Connor. I love a long story that ends with you just saying you like your picks. Those are my favorite stories. I have so many stories to tell you. All right. We are going to continue. A.J. Brown went next. Patrick Mahomes off the board, Kittle off the board. Cam Acres, the explosive and yet fearful selection of Cam Acres at the end of the third round. I mean, that's a good spot for him.

You have a lot of upside there. Terry McClurent, Deontay Johnson, darn Jason. You didn't get your chance to take him. Keenan Allen and D.K. Metcalfe. So a run of five wide receivers over that next eight picks after I took Montgomery. I am sitting here really not. I'm not going to go T. Higgins. Yes, I know. I'm looking at the board and I'm loving this because T. Higgins is the right pick except you have Jamar Chase. Yeah, and I have. Come on Team 7, make a mistake.

I have some picks, and now I can't disclose them because you get two selections before it comes back to me, but I have a wide receiver two that I am pining for. In fact, I'm going to write it down on my little board here. Okay, and then show me. And then show you when it comes back around to me, and we'll see if he makes it back. So I'm going to go the running back route again. There's a name out here that I think is actually going to have a stranglehold on the starting job for the majority of the season.

and it's Elijah Mitchell. So I'm going to take Elijah Mitchell at 405, a place where, look, it's, if Elijah Mitchell's the starter, he's worth way more than the 405. I can, I would say if he is healthy, then he's worth more than the 405. He projects to be the starter, but obviously got injured several times last year and whatever they.

put in the water in San Francisco. I mean, nobody has been able to stay healthy around that team. So that's my worry with Elijah. I think we're going to do it. I think this is going to be the first time that San Francisco repeats with a running back one in the last six years because I'm not going to sit here and just bank on injury. He looks very healthy in camp. He has a stranglehold according to beat reporters on that job. So I'm going to bank on that right now to start this.

Draft going Jones, Montgomery, Mitchell, running back, running back, running back. Breece Hall went next and Jason, you are on the clock. And I will take T. Higgins. I am a huge believer in the talent. I think that both him and Jamar Chase could easily finish both as top 12 options. On average, every single year, there is a team that has two wide receivers in the top 12, and that would project to be, you know, as likely to be the Bengals as anyone else. And that, you know, big.

Pick round difference between Jamar Chase's first round. See Higgins and the fourth. D.G. Morgos next, Waller, Lamar Jackson, Waddle, Dobbins, Amari Cooper, E.T.N. Godwin in the fifth. Josh Jacobs almost fell back to you as an option in the fifth round. Kind of a pretty long drop for Josh Jacobs. Jerry Judy at 505. And Jason, you are back on the clock. Give me some of the names you're considering here because wide receivers, there's some, I know, Cortland Sutton. You're in the Sutton camp.

Michael Pittman's still on the board here in the fifth round. Yeah, I mean, there are some great wide receivers. Michael Pittman, Cortland Sutton, and Marquise Hollywood Brown are the three that kind of come to mind. When I was picking Higgins, Hollywood was the name that I was hoping would come back around to me. That being said, you know, Hollywood is great, but Michael Pittman and Cortland Sutton are also very, very good options.

You know, the fact that I've got James Connor makes me a little bit more hesitant to draft Hollywood. And so I think I'm going to take the player that both Mike and myself believe is the number one wide receiver for Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos. It's not Jerry Judy. It's Cortland Sutton. With Cup T. Higgins and Cortland Sutton, I feel very, very solid at wide receiver. All right.
