But look, we're in the fourth. I don't know that the mock draft has really unveiled itself where I've been able to do this. Luther Burden, baby. Luther, finally. Finally it worked out. Luther Burton is on the squad. He joins AJ Brown and Crystal Lave. After I take Luther goes DJ Moore. Travis H.N. Jr. David Montgomery goes to Brooks. He's pretty high T. over there. Jason, you're at the turn.

Inside the episode
140 passagesYou are back on the clock. We're back on the Scataboo conversation. This would be my running back two, not my running back three, which I would prefer. But there is a tear break here. It really, Bucky Irving is going to be such a fascinating story this year. Everything in preseason, everything in camp has been that Kenny Gainwell is super involved and is kind of taking the passing work while Bucky is doing all of the primary running duties.
Um, that'll be interesting to unfold. There's also, you know, you look at ADP and you see Josh Jacobs there. Obviously that's not happening. No. But when you see Josh Jacobs there, you've got to ask yourself what you're doing with Marshaun Lloyd or with the Green Bay Packer running back situation. That is like a good tip of, let Josh Jacobs be the reminder for your, your Marshaun Lloyd ADP of, because this is a, I mean, I don't want to speak for you, Jay, but it's like, we're at the point where.
Someone's probably going to draft March on Lloyd pretty soon. So you're at the turn. If you were a Lloyd believer, you would have to do it right here. I couldn't draft him over Scataboo, Bucky Irving, some of those guys that, you know, we're still betting on a super fragile guy. I mean, I know the whole injury, I was talking to Mike off, you know, outside of the studio before I was like, my top 10 tips and tricks are the Things to Remember episode. At the end of this year, I'm going to look back at Jonathan Brooks.
And Marshawn Lloyd and Kendrae Miller. And I'm going to, I'm going to just going to see, was it like, oh, we should have known or, hey, there is no such thing as injury prone. I'm going to take Camp Scataboo. At this point, he represents kind of a tier for the rest of the running backs. And then at wide receiver, I would take Jameson Williams. Like that's who I want to take. But I've got Gibbs. I don't want to do the wide receiver running back thing. And I'm more and more and more.
And more and more bullish on Devante Adams. The old man has been rising to me. So I think he's going to have a really successful season. The only worry I have with Adams is at his age, if an injury happens, it will be, you know, it's always got the peptide protocols in place. I hope so, man. I hope so. Who doesn't?
Devante Adams, James, James, Tyler Warren, Roma Dunesay. All guys add my eye on this round. Mike, you're back on the clock. I, now I'm down bad in terms of just overall strategy. I mean, I could keep going with the hero RB build. Yeah, Bachel, I mean, if I'm taking a running back, looking, it's like Bucky, Trevo, Bachel Tudin, I would be taking Tudin. However, Christian Watson is still here in round five.
He would be on my bench if I am drafting him. Because you have three wide receivers already. So I've already filled my two wide receiver spots and the flex position. Oh, that is brutal. I had my eye on possibly going Tyler Warren, but Kyle snagged him. You also in the fifth round here have your choice of all quarterbacks not in Josh Allen. So I do love Lamar.
this like i'm i'm i'm in a full forgiveness of last year for lamar i think he's going to be solid but oh mike can't he has no idea what he's doing no i do i do why don't you tell us i'm taking the but the but was because of a j brown was i have a j brown and i can have the drake may a j brown stack i don't feel like it overpaid for drake may and even though i'm still riding with just one running back yeah
I feel all right with it. Interesting. Not even tempted by Bucky there, huh? I told you, man. I'm just like, I don't want Bucky. I don't want a draft Bucky. Well, you did exactly what you're supposed to do when you don't want somebody. I feel like at this point when you're in the middle of the fifth round, Bucky is. He's about to be on my team. But we'll take a break first.

After Drake May,
Christian Watson off the board. Mike can't get him. Four wide receivers for Betsy. I know he went to a good home. Well, yeah, I don't know. He went to a non-starting home. It doesn't matter. I mean, that's how he stays safe. Me and Betts are Watson bros, so. Quinchot-Judkins and Tutin. I have three wide receivers I'm in love with at this spot. I have a quick turn. So I'm going to pull the trigger on Bucky Irving here. And, uh...
I mean, getting Swift, Price, Bucky Irving, 3, 4, 5. I have hero wide receivers with J.S.N. and Jefferson. You have a very strong start. I am very happy. Carnell Tate, Lamar Jackson, Trevo, Lloyd, and Romandre. There he goes. And Romandre. Both wide receivers I wanted made it through. What a turn there. Trayvion Henderson and Marshaun Lloyd. I mean, to stack those two guys together is like. And Romandre what could be?
Well, I want you guys to help me decide this pick. All right. It's between a player that I think is going to have a humongous season and outkick his ADP in Marvin Harrison, Jr., who, you know, it would be a little bit of his ADP, but in this draft I got a long wait, it would be here. And Parker Washington, who I continue to believe in the drumbeat. I believe in the fact that he could be the Premier 1 on this team at this point.
I'm not worried about Jacoby. BTJ, I feel like the route tree, the utilization is going to be minimal. It'll be big plays and nothing else. And so PPR versus more upside. Yeah, I mean, I guess I would default to obviously with those two players, some of it has to be what do you believe? Sounds like you believe in both. You believe the bowl case for both options. In which case, if you think both are good wide receivers, who's got the better environment?
Who's, you know, who's on the better offense? I, you know, that should be an easy one. Is that hat doing things to the brain? Of you saying, which one's the better offense? Which one's the better offense? I mean, Vegas projections at the very least. We did just draft the.
are what we believe will be the best offense. I didn't think Jacksonville belonged in that top 12. Right, but Arizona's name was not even mentioned. Arizona, I believe, is third to last projected points. I understand. It's a priority of like, okay, it's environment, but I think Marvin Harrison is very much the better red zone threat. I think he is more secure in the target share than Parker Washington. I don't know what it's going to be like in Jacksonville this year. And I trust Jacoby Brissette to,
get the ball to him. I mean, if you saw the numbers, if you heard the numbers from the live show, I know that was Bold Predictions episode. If Marvin Harrison gets seven or more targets a game, his average fantasy points per game is 16.8. So you look at the offense, a healthy Marvin Harrison. I'm still a believer. I'm going with Marvin. I'm still a believer in Marvin Harrison. Marvin Harrison and Roma Dunzee are two guys that I have kind of, I feel like.
been an idiot on according to the world because I still think that they're good players and that they're going to show that the reason they were drafted top 10 in the NFL is because of that. Most people don't believe that, which is why you're getting Marvin Harrison in the sixth round. I mean, to me, what better place alongside Jason and Jefferson for Marvin Harrison. Parker goes next. Jonathan Brooks, Joe Burrow. Mike, you're back on the clock. Man, Joe Burrow at the 607. Two stack with T. Higgins is a tremendous value. So, I mean.
Not all of our drafts have gone this way. The elite quarterbacks have been ADP-wise going a bit later. Make sure you're fully paying attention while your draft is going that you don't have. You're not just locked into such a plan that you don't even flip over to that quarterback tab. Because that is outrageous to me to get burrow there. Let's see. Looking at the wide receivers, there's no one.
No one really spectacular standing out. I mean, Terry McLaurin here could serve as a huge value. I have a shorter turn, so I got eight picks in between my next one, but I don't know what these clowns are going to do, and I don't really want to risk J.K. Dobbins, so I'm going to take him here at the 608. RB2. Yeah, he has my running back too. And maybe he's not the full-season guy for the Denver Broncos. I've mentioned Jonah Coleman kind of.
He scares me far more than R.J. Harvey does, but at least be at the beginning of the year, I feel pretty strong that it will be Dobbins. Mike Evans, Terry McLaurin, Michael Wilson goes to Brooks. Jason, the turn, you are up. I'm a little sad. I was going to, if Kiborg did not pull the trigger there on Terry McLaren, I was going to do something that I haven't.
You were going to go McLaren Daniels? I was going to go McLaren Daniels, despite the fears that we have in the Washington. She loved them 30-year-old wide receivers? Well, in the seventh round, sure. You know, the fears we have with the Commander's offense are legitimate, but at the same time, you have to look at the Bull case whenever you're drafting. It's far more. It's far more. Probably. Probably. Strategically, that would be the move to go for.
So for me, I'm sitting here and I'm like, okay, I can take a quarterback of my choice, but at the turn, there's nobody that is, like if Burrow had got to me, obviously I would have pulled the trigger there. I think there's a tear break to all the rest of them. There's no stack that I am especially in love with. So I'm going to take, again, I'm going to look at the bowl case, what is the highest upside potential outcome for certain players. I'll take Brian Thomas. I don't think that, like I don't project him to be the one.
But obviously we know what he can do on the NFL field. He's been a top 10 wide receiver in the past. And the best predictor of future success is past success. And then I'm stuck here basically feeling like at the turn, if I don't take a running back here as my RB3, it's going to be nothing left. I've experienced it in every draft. So my hand is forced right now to take a running back. And I'm going to pull the trigger on Jalen Warren. The question of the.
Steelers backfield. I know you guys are on the RICO side. I'm on the Warren side. I'm just always on the RICO side. Yes. That's a contractual obligation for you might. I mean, he does pay me well. Yes. No matter where he goes, you're on the RICO side. But as a seventh round, RB3, you know, you've got to take the shot on those ambiguous backfields. So Jason takes Jalen Warren. We had multi-quarterbacks go. Jalen Hertz, followed by Jane Daniels.
The players, just talked Daniels yesterday of players I'm afraid to be wrong about in the fact of overstating, over-stadding, over-projecting Jay Daniels. In the seventh round is, that's truly a ridiculous value. Baby Jake took RJ Harvey, and then I am back on the clock. It's a pretty easy pick for me here. I will take the man, the myth, the legend. He's recovering from an ACL. I don't care.
Seventh rounder Tucker Kraft. Come on down, baby. I've been very anti-Tucker Kraft in all of my dress. The difference between Tucker Kraft and the fifth and Tucker Kraft in the seventh. What was that? Tucker Crap. Oh, I didn't hear that. I heard crack. I heard crack. It's massive. I mean, and you say, well, it's just a couple rounds. So that's pretty rough. But you look at like who you would have been giving up is a Roma Dune's a.
