It's his litter. It's not the litter. That's right. That's right. I had several puppies. And I'm going to pick, it's my litter. I choose who I want. That's only fair. There are three wide receivers I absolutely love on the board right now. One of them is. Oh, I love you, Jason. We might need a breaking news button here. We do? Yeah. Oh, hold on. Hold on. I got to find it.

41:34 ↗

Breaking News. I wondered if this would change. Albert Wilson has opted out. We brought this up when we were talking about Preston Williams recently. It's just three straight years for him, right? Yes. Albert Wilson is, he doesn't play a lot of football on the field. But what could have been? Devante Parker is out there. He's a guy that it seems like nobody wants in drafts. You just hate to believe the breakout that happened last year. But he broke the heck out. I mean, he was great.

42:02 ↗

It was a top three wide receiver in the second half of the year is great. And he's in your litter or no? He's, yeah, all of these are my babies. Okay. Michael Gallup is one of my babies. And of course, Marquis, Hollywood Brown is one of my babies. So I want the pick of my litter. Mm-hmm. The question I have here is whether I should go running back. I look at the running backs on the board. Yeah. There's a handful of them I really like. Ingram? In consideration? Ingram, I think, would be in consideration here if I didn't.

42:32 ↗

start running back strong. And I need some guy I can confidently start. I like here going a little bit more upside. I'm looking at Jonathan Taylor, Cam Acres, or in a full PPR, Cream Hunt is very valuable here. He had the exact same top 24 rate last season as Nick Chup. So he's a guy you can start and should Nick Chub go down, you have a top 10 running back. So those three running backs I really like.

42:59 ↗

But in a three wide receiver full PPR, I think the value I have to go wide receiver. So I'm going to double up on wide receiver here. Double up. I am going to take Devante Parker here because he is very high. And knowing my own strategy here that I'm planning to grab another wide receiver means that I'm going to be really, I'm going to have the flexibility if Devante Parker doesn't hit to be fine. But if he hits, I have an absolute top tier.

43:27 ↗

wide receiver. Now I'm between Michael Gallup and Marquis Hollywood Brown. I never get this guy. I'm taking my guy. Cam Acres and Brandon Cooks went after Devante Parker. Right. Oh, man. That means Jonathan Taylor's still there. Cream Hunt. Well, Mark Ingram is still there. When I was deciding it running back just to be transparent, I was thinking there's no way Montgomery and Ingram are going to both make it back. Probably neither. Those were the two I was thinking about in this situation.

43:56 ↗

So right now with my team. So many guys, Jay, don't get it wrong. Right now with my team, I have three wide receivers, Robert Woods, DJ Chark, Devante Parker, and I have two stud running backs, Miles Sanders, Kenyon, Drake. No regrets, man. I'm putting my flex in. I will get the pick right because I'm going to the West Coast. I'm going to Hollywood. I never get him. He's my guy. I want him. I think he has the potential to be a top 15 wide receiver for one of the best offenses in the league to get him here.

44:25 ↗

is where I want him. So my team is Marquis, Hollywood, Brown, Devante Parker. I'm taking kind of big shots that are a little bit risky, but I think Robert Woods, DJ Chark, can you Drake Miles Sanders allows me? I put DJ Chark into the risky category, too. I can see that. I think DJ Chark, Devante Parker, Marquise Brown, all three guys, certainly less known commodities. You have not let the swag.

44:52 ↗

The Gardner Minchu swag. You've not let it wash over you and just accept it. You know, it's such a fine line between washing over you or completely distorting your vision like a bad drug. Those things are tight. You need to look at the numbers, man. I've looked at the numbers. I like DJ Chark. I just don't think we're coming from a different place of probability. You're coming from a place of 99.9% probability of Gardner and Chark being great. I'm coming from like a 60%.

45:20 ↗

And I would, I'm just less confident. We both like the player. You've also, you're selling me shorts, giving me 99.9%. Okay, I'm sorry. You got to keep it 100. Thank you. But I do, I do think that he will have a great season. So when I've got four wide receivers in my first six picks, that's the situation where I want to take shots on huge breakouts. End of sentence. Correct. Okay. All right.

45:48 ↗

I have, so your team right now, Miles Sanders, Kenyon, Drake, Woods, Chark, Parker, Brown. I have Josh Jacobs, Lev Bell, and David Montgomery at running back. Chris Godwin and Amari Cooper. Having those two stalwartes, in my opinion, has afforded me that third running back. I'm disappointed. I wanted Hollywood Brown with this next pick. Oh, yes. Which is the third time in this five rounds that I've been sniped right before. Julio, Cup, and now Hollywood. We're doing great work, Colby.

46:18 ↗

You only snipe me once. The team 10 snipe me the other two times. But now I'm looking at this situation and I kind of wish I had gone with a wide receiver on my previous pick because there's still some running backs I'm okay with here. Ingram and most are both on the board. I don't really feel like I have the luxury of taking them because of the league format and needing another wide receiver option here. So I'm kind of looking. Michael Gallup is great if you want to put him with Mari Cooper. Been there.

46:49 ↗

So it's tough because I'm looking at what's available. And I'm actually going to take Will Fuller here. I'm going to take the upside of Will Fuller to be the number one guy for Deshaun Watson. He's the player with the rapport. He's the one I would bet on to come out on top. And there's so many abandoned targets in Houston. And when push comes to shove, that defense is not great. Deshaun Watson is the offense. And so I'm going to take Will Fuller. I think I can do that with...

47:13 ↗

the Godwin Cooper beginning to this draft. Other players that you look at there, Jarvis Landry in a PPR, okay, that looks great. Is it going to be on the field to start the year? Is he healthy? Julian Edelman, okay, well, that looks all right. Maybe. There's a lot of variables in play for Julian Edelman losing Tom Brady. So, Mike, you're on the clock.

47:31 ↗

And Mark Ingram will be drafted by me because this is ridiculous. What was the starting running back for the Ravens there in the sixth round? Markingrum is preposterous. He is always a value in your drafts. He is perennially, he's one of those players. And scoop up the value. Similar to Robert Woods, Markingram, who, this isn't anecdotal. This isn't saying I think they're always a value. This is.

47:53 ↗

Every single year they are drafted at their average draft position well behind where they finish. And year after year after year, no one wants them because the tip top upside isn't there. But their floor is so safe and so secure. I love the pick, especially for how your team was laying out. Yeah, it's perfect. Ingram there. And then some highlights of the rest of the round. Waller and Gronk both went here in the sixth round. Gallup ended up going, Deonté Johnson one pick later.

48:23 ↗

And then Devin Singletary in the seventh round, three more tight ends, Evan Ingram, Tyler Higby, Hayden Hurst. Mike's back on the clock. Were you hoping for somebody else to make it through, Mike? I don't think I was hoping for anyone in particular. I had no idea which way that that turn was going to go for me. But here I am looking at Kareem Hunt and Rahim Moster are both.

48:46 ↗

On the... I'm taking who you don't take. Of those two. I mean, that's what... I select both. Well, now I'm screwed. No, but that's exactly what the situation you're in. I hope both players would make it back. You can only take one of them. Can I interest you guys? I want to talk to you about... Are you trying to talk? It's out of taking them? I need to talk you into someone else. Can I talk to you about...

49:10 ↗

Russell Wilson. Oh, you could talk about Russell Wilson. I mean, Mr. Unlimited. Unlimited. Um, no, no, no. I'm, I'm, I'm just, uh, joking. Let's talk about Hunter Henry and the importance of tight end here. There's a tight end run. He's throwing so many. I just need, look.

49:30 ↗

You're too stupid idiots. Let Karim Hunt come back to me. Okay. That's all I'm saying. I want Karim Hunt. I almost took him last pick. Please let him come to me. And I will give you a $5. Crisp Bill cash. And that's another strategy you can take. First, try to talk him into somebody else. Second bribe. Mike, are you taking one of those two guys? Yes. Oh, then I will take the other. Excellent. So here's what I'm working through. Yeah. It is my fourth running back. So do I go?

49:57 ↗

the upside potential that if Rahim Moster does capture 60 to 65% of that backfield, he should be absolutely incredible. Meanwhile, Kareem Hunt, the PPR value, does that really continue? I know he was a target machine when he came in last year, but completely different offense. Will he actually receive those targets as Stefansky tries to slow down the offense? This one, it's a tough one.

50:27 ↗

I haven't drafted him at all, and I'm going to take this upside here. I'm speaking in mock draft terms. I'm going to go with Rahim Mostert. It's pretty nice to have a guy on your bench who you don't have to rely on that has top 15 upside. I am, yeah. I mean, that makes, you have AJ Green and Rahim Moster on your team right now, Mike. I know. I'm drafting Andy's team. And, and.

50:53 ↗

Look, the purpose of a mock draft, Jason brought it up. It's to educate yourself on what can happen to prepare yourself for the year. I have regrets here because I took David Montgomery in the fifth round. You know, you have Mark Ingram and Rahimosa would have both been available in the next round. Kareem Hunt as well. I could have gone a wide receiver there and I think I would have been happier. I could have gone Devante Parker or Hollywood Brown. And if you tell me I could have had Devante Parker and Mark Ingram versus David Montgomery and Wolf Fuller,

51:24 ↗

I'm happier with that situation. Now, real quick, you have your team the way it lines up right now, Andy. You have three wide receivers and three running backs. You have to start three wide receivers. This is his last chance. Plus a flex. This is his last effort. I'm just saying this, that the Jets defense has lost a lot of pieces. They traded away Jamal Adams. That sounds like a bunch of receptions for Lev Bell. And for Jameson Crowder and a full PPR. When you have to start three wide receivers.

51:53 ↗

Dang it. He took Cream Hunt. Dang it. He just took him a little while ago. I wanted you to keep going. I took Cream Hunt. C.D. Lamb went next. Jason, you got a couple picks, and let's make them snappy. Pappy. Hmm. Here's a thing. I wouldn't have been upset at all. I didn't expect Cream Hunt to come back to me. But the fact that he got, when they get all right? You had the hope. This is being on the turn. It's a place of a false hope. Get rid of your hope.

52:19 ↗

That's what we're saying. That's what I've learned. All right, full PPR. I'm sitting here in, what is this? Round seven. The options are looking at tight end. There's Hunter Henry, who I think is kind of in a tier to himself, but I like a lot of the late options. Quarterback, I brought it up earlier. I'm not really wanting to do a mid-round quarterback, even though I do think Russell Wilson is a good value. Maybe I'll grab him with my eighth pick at running back.

52:47 ↗

You have a bunch of unknowns. I am going to go off brand, or maybe this is on brand now, despite Lashon McCoy. I'm going to take Ronald Jones the second. I figured you would. He is the starter right now for what I think is going to be a great offense. All right, you're on the clock again, Jay. You get to make another pick. I'm on the clock, and I all jokes aside of trying to talk you into Jameson Crowder. Oh, I like him. In a full PPR.

53:15 ↗

with what has happened to that defense. Because it's funny, just like a couple weeks ago, I actually on the show said, you know, I had been talking down the Jets defense. That wasn't fair. They have some really strong pieces. And they were getting better at the end of last year. And now their best pieces are gone and they're going to stink again. So James and Crowder will catch the ball a ton. That's true. I wouldn't have taken him now. All right. Hunter Henry on the board. Interesting in PPR.

53:45 ↗

Austin Hooper, PPR, Gassicki, Jared Cook. We haven't talked a lot about the tight-in position. It's something I'm looking at a little bit now. I don't like you that much. No, it's not great. Running back, serious guys, DeAndre Swift, J.K. Dobbins and company. I've got to make a decision on a wide receiver at this point. And, man, wouldn't it be great to take Preston Williams here?

54:10 ↗

Hey, I'm a believer in Preston Williams. You know, if you thought Albert Wilson was the reason Preston Williams was so involved as an undrafted free agent rookie last year, well, he is uninvolved this year as well. You can do it. I'm taking Golden Tate with this selection. That is, that's just a spiteful pick. You're taking Jameson Crowder of the Giants. There is no reason for you to have done that other than just to make me upset. To me, in a league like this, I had it all queued up.
