FINAL Mock Draft Episode! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 9/3

Judkins like that's why I can't possibly oh man take craft over those guys that feels like an easy Tucker craft over those two names well okay okay how about Christian Watson okay that's way exactly but that's my point you would have you would have been taking craft over over Watson which I would not do that a couple rounds ago but here you're taking them over over you know backups

Rico Dowto goes at 706, and then the guy I thought I would easily get in the eighth, Alec Pierce goes at 707, taken away from me, Harold Fanon, and then I went Desjohn Stribling at the 709. That's what you're going to have to do for the 49ers. Chuba, Mason, Quentin Johnson, Josh Downs, Blake Corum, and then Caleb, my guy. I had a group of basically five quarterbacks. I was kind of waiting to decide between Caleb, Jaden. They both went.

I'm trying to decide here do I want to just like let the quarterback position go. I still have some names way later that I'm okay with. I mean, there's still, sorry, let's see. I mean, DAC is the one that stands out. You can stack with percent. I feel like I could do that maybe a little bit later. Man, maybe I don't go either of those positions. I mean, you're at the point now. So one, two, three, four, five, six. So we have seven.

Seven of the 12 teams have their quarterback. And the names left is Herbert, Dak, Lawrence, if you're in on the upside of Dart, Bow Nicks. This is the hard part of taking the, even if you're getting an elite quarterback at a value, when I'm seeing, especially guys like Dak be available in the eighth round, that's tough. Yeah, I thought about Dak. I went Casey Concepcion. I'm going rookie rookie here. Stribling, Concepcion, it's a strategy.

I often employ. I like taking shots at the most talented, highest upside, highest target share, rookies laid in drafts. So, Stribling Concepcion, both players, I think, will have a fantasy impact in year one. Sutton, Golden, Leporta, and Mike back on the clock. You have your onesies already. You're filling out the depth. Yeah, we're looking at filling out the team here. I got, again, eight picks between this one and the next one. Do I possibly risk?

someone sniping D.K. Metcalfe in between my next pick. I'd be pretty devastated if it happened, but I think it's probably the best thing to do for my team. So whatever you guys do, don't draft D.K. Metcalfe. I'm going to take... I'm going to take the upside of Bill Cross. I know how much you like Metcalf, so I hope he gets back to you. Oh, my gosh, please. Please. I mean, Metcalf is a wide receiver one that nobody wants to touch.

Which is impossible to believe after last year. I mean, do we look at the situation of last year where it was Aaron Rogers, it was D.K. Metcalf. The hugest, the largest difference would be Mike McCarthy and a different offensive scheme. Do we believe that that will be the difference between last year's D.K. Metcalf, which was borderline unplayable for the majority of the season. Do we think it corrects itself? Yeah.

I mean, it could, but that's not the only change, right? Michael Pittman joining the team is also a negative for DK Metcalf. Now, Pittman's been hurt most of camp. If you watched Aaron Rogers talk about him recently, he was, he didn't seem very, he's like, uh, it is what it is. He hasn't been here. So he was talking on Pittman soft. Seemed like it, man. He just seemed frustrated about the fact that, look, we, we haven't been able to work on it. And this is a player new to the team. And you know how Aaron Rogers gets with like, I.

If he can rely on you. With strangers. Strangers. I think Metcalf is a good pick. I'm sitting here going Metcalfe for Mackay Lemon. Oh, don't. No, Jay. I'm not taking Metcalfe. I am going to take Mackay Lemon and Dak Prescott. I like the new bit. It's buying yourself one push-down pick. Dak Prescott, Cheap Joe Burrow, a couple rounds later in the eighth I love. Mackay Lemon is what Andy just talked about. He's got stribling. He's got Concepcion.

The truth is highly drafted first round wide receivers get on the field usually earlier. So I'll take a shot at a first round NFL wide receiver. Yeah. Did you want Lemon? No, I just wanted you guys to take DK MacCath. Oh, because you're sitting here saying, how do I pass on Metcalf? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Passing on, I mean, yeah. Just had a curiosity to Mike McCaff for Josh Jacobs.

uh dk mackoff okay just checking kyle just took jacobs in the ninth okay okay whatever man uh at this point uh gonna yeah and just set your ninth round pick on fire that's fine uh at this point you know where it's like not everything is is hunky dory i want to peek real quick at the the rookies just turning that little rookie button on jordan tyson is is there i think that is

I do have Olave, but Jordan Tyson at this point to go on to my IR is, in fact, what I'm going to do. I feel strong that someone would have grabbed him on this turn here. So I will, I'll take Tyson, I'll stash him, and hope that when he comes back, everything is great. Matt Caff, Diggs, Herbert, I am back on the clock. Again, I have enough depth at wide receiver, or sorry, I have lots of depth of wide receiver, not as much at running back. There are some names I really love.

Trying to figure out what these guys are going to do. I have quarterbacks that I'm fine with here. We have three teams without a quarterback? Yeah. And then most of them have tight ends as well. There's three without tight ends, and I have multiple tight ends I really like at this juncture. So I think this might be the first mock draft. I kick those to my final two picks. And I'm going to take, I'm going to go back to back to back rookies. I'm taking Chris Bell wide receiver from Miami Dolphins who I want to draw attention to two in this final mock draft.

Stribling Conception on Chris Bell, and I'm heavy at the wide receiver position. Addison, likely, Knicks, Kincaid. People closing out there, onesie positions, both likely and Kincaid were under consideration, obviously. I am fascinated with the Chris Bell via Caleb Douglas competition for Miami. Chris Bell is back. He missed.

All of training camp, though. Yes. And while Caleb Douglas, their higher drafted, they took him first, right? Caleb Douglas over Chris Bell? I believe so. I want to be accurate on that. Oh, because of the kickback on it. To me, it's not a competition. Chris Bell is going to. But Caleb Douglas has just been dominating all offseason. Every report was great. So I'm just curious how that starts week one. Does Chris Bell go from?

Not a part of the offense. I haven't seen that. I saw the one catch that got a lot of variety, but I haven't seen a lot of positive Douglas. There's a lot of drumbeat for him. Interesting. All right. I'm going to take Joanne Johnson as my tight end in the 4th in the 10th round here. Woody Marks goes next. B-Cat takes Jackson Dart. Oh, man. Dart in the 10th. It's the gamble of the quarterback. I felt like I got very good value for.

Drake May and the fifth, but then the scattering of quarterbacks late. It's tough. It's tough to know if you did the right thing. Jackson Dart goes. Rashad White goes after that. I am back on the clock. My wide receiver crew, I really only have the three. So I'm going to peek at that. We got Jane Reed. We got soft Michael Pittman. Wondale is there. He should see a bunch of targets.

Man, Romeo Dobbs is the name that stands out, but do I really want A.J. Brown and Romeo Dobbs here on my team. Man, I'm not feeling really strong about any of these wide receivers. So I have one more pick after this. I am going to do the thing of, look, I have my priors. I still believe in them. But sometimes you got to be like maybe I'm...

I'm not locked in completely on the situation, so I'm going to take Chris Rodriguez. He's on my short list. I figured he would go for sure. So in the event, maybe I'm wrong about Tutin. Like, you've got to be willing to do those things. And with a 10th round pick, that's very low investment. Yeah, I think you have to be open. I love the way you describe it. You've got your priors and you've got your opinions, but you recognize that there's not 100% hit rate on anyone's opinions.

So the situation to potentially get the, you know, the more valuable back in Chris Rodriguez and the double-ed-drowns. I don't think it will be, but it definitely could be. Yeah, not a bad pick. I would have taken him had he gotten to me. Wondale goes next, Aaron Jones. And then Romeo Dobbs was a player I really wanted to get to me. Brooks grabs him one pick ahead of me. I think at this point in a draft, getting the wide receiver two for a really great offense, who they did pay a significant amount of money to.

is a good value. So now I'm sitting here looking. I'm going to take one running back, one wide receiver. I'm looking for just potential wacky high upside. Like there's Tyler Algier there. Maybe you've got a week one starter. But I think as the season goes on, he gets less and less valuable. So at wide receiver, I'm between Michael Pittman and Caleb Douglas, you know, the shot of the rookie wide receiver for the dolphins or the vet. I'm going to go with the data.

Caleb Douglas not being a first round wide receiver. Also, the Dolphins not being a great offense franchise in 2026. I'll take Michael Pittman, put a veteran on my team. I feel like going in on a player Aaron Rogers already doesn't like. Yeah, no, I get it. I get it. It's a 10th round pick. And so that completed my draft. Michael Pittman was my last pick.

The 11th round did start, though, Jay. Oh, did it start with Tyler Algier with Brooks? I believe it did. No, you took a guy. You took a guy. Say nothing. Caleb Johnson. No, I didn't. I would never. I would never have hope. I would never dream. I would never dare to dream. I don't want to get hurt again. Jason, the people have to know. No, no, no, no, no. How, how.

strong are your actual real dreams they are genuinely so weak they are they it's but a whisper it's but a whisper it's so deep down and dark and hidden inside that it's some somewhere it's really bright but it's so far away but it was enough for me to take them in the other all right you took caleb johnson tyler algier goes uh kyle takes keenan allen which of course i should have seen that coming uh then it is tanked out

My final decision, I would look with all this Chris Bell, Caleb Douglas talk. I mean, Malik Washington has been a, like he is a veteran. I think he starts the season as the number one. Is he good enough to hold on to that position? That's the bet for if you want to draft the rookies. But I was between Keenan Allen and Malick Washington here for my final pick. I'm just going to scroll the wide receivers and double check. I mean, Xavier Worthy.

Jacoby Lane is a fun rookie for Baltimore with upside. But I'm going to take the chance. I'm going to take the chance that Malik Washington is like a 5-6 reception per week type of guy. Tank Biggsby goes. Malachi Fields goes to B-Ked. I think that's solid. Papa Josh takes Cyrus Allen, loves himself some fifth-round backups. Andy, back on the clock. Malik Willis. As your quarterback won.

So you completed the stack. The very underrated Chris Bell, Malik Willis stack. That's right. Malik Willis is 100% worth it at this. I could have taken Trevor Lawrence, Tyler Shuck. Oh, I would have taken. Jared Gov, Jordan, Love, Brock Purdy. I would have taken Trevor Lawrence, but I'd get it. You're trying, you're shooting for the moon, taking Malik Willis. Jonah Coleman goes. Go Dolphins. I mean, you are a big Dolphins sound effect. Thank you.

That was a very bad. That was not a good dolphin. That was a seal. That was for the San Diego seals. You want to try again? I don't. I don't. I think my voice right now can't. Oh, yeah. We found what you can do. We found the thing you can do. Dude. Good job. Are you freaking kidding me? Don't, don't talk. I didn't know I had that in me. Don't, no, you, that was outstanding. Leave on a W. Secret talents.

What a dolphin sound effect guy. I feel like that added like two points a game to Malik Willis's numbers this year. Jonah Coleman, Jacoby Lane, and then Jaden Reed is the last pick of the draft. Oh my gosh. My team, I got James Cook, J.K. Dobbins, Bill Kroski and Krott are my running backs. AJ Brown, Crystal Lave, Luther Burden. Jordan Tyson will be on the IR and then Malik Washington at wide receiver, Tucker Kraft, and Drake May are my onesies. I started with Jemir Gibbs.

Uh, Jalen Warren and Caleb Johnson, uh, and Cam Scataboo at running back. And then I've got Drake London, Devante Adams, Brian Thomas Jr. Mackay Lemon and Michael Pittman at wide receiver. With Brock Bowers and Dak Prescott at my onesies. JASN, Jefferson, Harrison, Stribling, Conception, and Bell, powerful wide receiver core.
