Live 12 Team Mock + Rankings Renovations

Adam Thielen, Larry Fitz, Marvin Jones, Robbie Anderson. So we have at least three locked in guys. And then Robbie Anderson, who's the flyer with a ton of upside. I'm trying to decide to I want to go with someone who I think is kind of that safer, that safer late round value guy in Richard Matthews, who is serviceable. Sure. We know the ceiling is capped.

But he's definitely a serviceable, startable wide receiver. Or do you go really, really high upside with someone like Geronimo Allison? Sure. Jordan Matthews, who the press continues to be positive about him. And the last wide receiver, the last wide receiver I wanted to throw out was Deshaun Jackson. Sure. So who's your pick? Oh, man. If I got to go with the three of those players.

And you do. Well, you can go with anybody. But yeah, yeah, yeah. You got to make a pick. I'm going to take, I'm going to take Deshaun Jackson here. My heart wants to take, wants to take Richard Matthews. But I think at this point, I want to throw a little nitro on to the fire. I think that Deshaun Jackson can bounce back.

Fantasy players, it was one bad year for Deshaun Jackson. It was. If you watched him, wasn't as bad as the numbers. Was still really, really fast. He could still get behind the coverage. All right. Final bench pick, and I'm going to make this one, and I'm going to tell you what I'm thinking about. I want to pick a player here that has a chance to show me what their role is in week one and two. Here are the players that give me that opportunity. Latavius Murray.

he's an option because week one I could find out how much they're going to use the goal line back could be the goal line back Michael Gallup Tyler Lockett both players I'm going to know early what is the role on this team going to be potentially week one or two could Gallup become the one he only has to pass Alan Hearns could Tyler lock it now that you've lost all the tar you know no more Jimmy Graham no more Paul Richardson does he have a chance deedie westbrook

Another option here, because you don't know what the depth chart's going to look like. And then Paul Richardson. Really? Sitting on the board as well. He was in consideration. Another option. I'm sitting here waiting for you to name the aforementioned, disrespect, Devante Booker, who, that is the type of guy where week one, if he's a starter, he's a starter. If he's not great, because you're going to drop like two or three guys after week one. I'm not going to take Devante Booker, and it's going to be a glimpse inside the fantasy player's mind. I'm not going to take him.

because we didn't take Royce Freeman. Oh, wait, you want the handcuff? No, I don't want the double regret. Oh, I don't want to take Devante Booker, have Royce Freeman be the starter, and then I have the guy that isn't a starter. I need to protect my mind, my friends. I got you. I want to throw out if you're actually drafting right now, because a mock draft, we're using a tool, we're using Sleeper Bot to prepare for our drafts in August. We don't know what the Buffalo situation is.

But if you're drafting right now in the 12th round, Chris Ivory. Chris Ivory is not a bad pick to just. It's not bad. I won't make it because I think if something happens there, they're also going to pick up another body and I won't. And I just don't think Chris Ivory has much left. I'm actually going to take a look here. You think Latavius? I would always prefer to go running back heavy.

over the wide receivers. There's going to be plenty of, I mean, the fact that we're this deep already, you're going to be able to sign wide receivers off of the waivers that are relevant. There are a number of those wide receivers I name that will be on waivers after this draft. There's only a couple rounds left. Josh Doxton did go. Cam Meredith, another late round flyer with a role to establish. I like it. We are wrapping this thing up. We have a defense and a kicker remaining. And we will bring it up yet again. The final two picks.

should be your kicker and your defense unless your league allows you to finish the draft without grabbing them. If you can do that, grabbing and stashing two more sleeper players. Like, if you could get Devante Booker right here, just sit, sit him on the back of your bench through the preseason and all of a sudden he turns into the starter. Then you drop Latavis Murray pick up a... You've got an incredible, incredible value pick. Philip Rivers.

At quarterback, Melvin Gordon Devonta Freeman at the starting running back positions with depth of Rex Burkhead, C.J. Anderson and Latavius Murray. Starting wide receivers, Adam Thieland, Larry Fitzgerald, with Marvin Jones as a flex option along with Robbie Anderson and Deshawn Jackson. Love it. A couple of burners on the bench. And look, Greg Olson, welcome back. Welcome to the roster. Very happy with this team. Now, just the quick question, because I know it's going to come up.

We don't mind. We do not mind going with the double stuff, the stack of the quarterback and the wide receiver one from a team. Does it, do you feel that it is any way suboptimal that we have Philip Rivers and Melvin Gordon? Only if it was Cam Newton and C.J. Anderson. Exactly. When you're talking about one of the five or six running backs in the league.

that are up near the league in receptions, then you're absolutely fine because, you know, look last year, Todd Gurley had six receiving touchdowns. You can still have that stack when you're utilizing that way. Melvin Gordon and Philip Rivers are close friends. This is going to work out.
