Yes. And that's, I'm okay being balanced. If there is an imbalance, though, to me it's always running back. You want more running backs than wide receivers at the end of your draft. I'm curious what our listeners will think of this team. Because it is not a flashy team on paper. Like I think of all the mocks we've done, to me, this is the least flashy.

54:03 ↗

Well, we have a couple against the grain picks and guys like Ryan Matthews and Tori Smith, where we are projecting them to be better than what the average ranking is. If we're right, which we probably are, then our team is legit. Yeah, I mean, I think if you had drafted this roster.

54:27 ↗

And you just sub out Lamar Miller for Jamal Charles. People see the flash of Jamal Charles' name. You don't see it yet with Lamar, but we're going to buy into that performance by him in a standard league will be in the top 10 category. Dante Moncrief never gets me excited. Neither does Ryan Matthews. So clearly I'm going to have a different opinion of this. But I'd love to hear everybody out there's opinion. We're going to post this on the website, 12-team standard mock.

54:52 ↗

Pretty happy with the result, especially drafting out the turn, making some of those decisions, waiting on quarterback, definitely paid off in this draft. The Kelsey pick, I still think when we were looking at the decisions to be made there, there were so many wide receivers on the board that we liked. And so ultimately, if you do think, I mean, I can like Gates, I think Kelsey's potential for being a top three is higher than Gates. I agree. So I'm still, I'm on the fence about it. I love the value of Gates later, but I'm cool.

55:21 ↗

I'm cool with that. I would say, I feel like Kelsey likely has the higher upside or the chance to be a top three. But I would say their chance to be six or seven is pretty close to me. Okay. Well, that does it for our standard mock draft episode. Again, we want to remind you about the MVP episode from yesterday. If you want to go back, here are predictions for the fantasy MVPs for 2016 as well as nine other expert opinions.
