That's a lot of targets. So I'll go there. Colson Loveland at 404. There he goes. Oh, Mr. Loveland. DeAndre Swift stolen from the grip of Mike Wright. I figured Julia would do that. Camp Scataboo. Jalen Waddle, off the board, Waddle. Very excited for him. And then there goes Travis A. Chan Jr. and Emeka Abuka. So Mike has Chase, Love, and Neighbors. I'm going to give him a second. We'll take a break. And we'll come back and finish this mock draft.

I'm really happy to hear that neighbor's update compared to the tweet. I liked about half of it. Yeah, I mean, just what part did you? You liked the part where it wasn't injury related?

Well, it was... Why did he leave with the trainers, though, man? Yeah, that's the part of the part you didn't like. Guys, they've been hanging out a lot. Was this a Froyo thing? Yeah, they're just, they're just broling down. Oh, they probably were going to miss the discount if they didn't leave about 20 minutes early. All right. You got to get those punch cards filled. Yeah, I mean, you got $10 off at Frozen Zone, whatever. Neighbors should do everything he can to walk off practice as far away from trainers as possible. So we're not confused. Mike, you're on the clock. Chase, neighbors, love.

It's a little interesting because love and neighbors are both kind of risky biscuits to start the year. They are. I think that love by the time it shows, I don't know, because we're not getting full reporting out there. DeAndre Swift would have been a delightful pick right here had he fallen to me in the fourth round. But it does give me an opportunity. A player who I've been hot and bothered for most of the offseason and just the drafts have not worked out for me.

But I still believe I am taking Bayshall Tootin of the Jacksonville Jaguars. I think that he will be the main guy. And, you know, I think it will, this whole Le Quint Allen is playing third down and we're rotating Crodd. I think when it comes down to it, it's going to be Bayshall Tootin as the majority of the backfield. All right, after Tootin goes, Bucky Irving finally at 411. That was a tough choice, I'm sure, Tootin and Irving.

different committees situations there. Tyler Warren, Judarian Price. Judarian Price at 501. That's a good deal. And you knew, you knew Kyle, I'm going to take Tyler Warren. With his hatred of Colson Loveland, he would of course take one. By the way, that's price over Monty, Judkins. It's price over. I would, too. Yeah, I'm fine with that. I think it's the exact right spot for him. DJ Moore at 502. Did you guys see the comments from DJ Moore yesterday?

I did not. It was kind of a... What's he got to say these days? He was so complimentary of Josh Allen that it was an insult to Caleb Williams. Oh, yeah. You think DJ Moore's not a little bit bitter about last year? Well, it was kind of interesting because it was about like the off-the-field relationship and how it helps the on-field relationship. It seemed like it was saying some stuff. You know what I mean? Like, obviously he's going to be happy and proud of his new quarterback. Josh Allen isn't out there doing the same...

spreads that Caleb would. He's modeling Jason. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, no, a magazine spread is obviously what I meant. You know, look, we shouldn't have access to that so fast. Caleb is, you know, he's out there. I forgot Jason was in the middle of this picture yesterday. Caleb Williams is a much better looking dude than Josh Allen. No, he's not. Josh Allen's a super handsome guy. Haley Steinfeld. Oh, no, I'm not counting that. I'm just saying, no.

Caleb Williams is much. I'm not saying Caleb Williams is unattractive, but it sounds like you're saying Josh Allen is unattractive, which is nonsense. Yeah, it sounds like you took this in a direction I didn't expect it to go. I'm just trying to defend right into the L. All right. Do you get more off the board, Mike, back on the clock. I'm at the 503. Two wides, two running back so far. And this one is brutal because I know what my opportunity costs. There's two players that I am.

I am locked into, and I know I won't get one of them, and that makes me really sad. All this, whatever, all this walk through it. It's, look, my guy, Christian Watson, we are in the range where he will not make it back to the 610. So I love him. As a wide receiver 3, I think that that is incredible. But Joe Burrow, to go with my Jamar Chase here and strike the fear of God into everyone who is matched up against me,

in a week. I mean, I, that's hard to pass on as well. I think you might get him next round, though. Joe Burrow? I mean, you're got, you have only one quarterback off the board. You're talking Lamar, Daniels. I'm just throwing it out there. Sure. And again, every person in this draft is listening to our internal thoughts. They were already at this point. It was, it was already. I just wondered if you would get, I feel like you would get him in a normal draft. Maybe not now that we've said it out loud. Because asking our staff not to troll us.

Impossible. There is no chance he would have gotten Joe Burrow. This I wrote down forever ago, 5.3 Joe Burrow, because I knew you were the only guy taking him from me. I mean, now anybody could take him from me, because I got T. Higgins. Just because you have T. Higgins doesn't mean you should take Gilboro at 511? No, I wouldn't. I'd take him at 6-2. Really? Yeah. But I mean, I was just, I knew you were going to, I was so happy you didn't think. So wait, hold on. I feel like this is really, really corny. This is breaking news here where like you're going to take Burrow.

who I know isn't, I mean, you have probably several quarterbacks ahead of. He's my quarterback three and six point. Oh, he's going to be here for you, Jay. Yeah, I mean, he usually would be there. The only question is, will the Jamar Chase person pull that stack off or not? And then obviously the person between me. Never seen a burrow fight. The dude's about to retire.

That's a weird. I thought you said he wasn't. Yeah, you're going back and forth on this. You think I have any control over this stuff? Yes, I do, actually. You think I tried to kill the queen? I know that you're... I don't know that you didn't try. Rest in peace, smash mouth. Okay, so huge wide receiver run. Yeah, that makes me feel... War Watson, Williams, McLaren, Evans, Burton, Tate. Judkins goes off the board. I was kind of hoping for Judkins to be my RB2 there. I end up with David Mopportunity.

We've got a fancy time machine, so we're going to talk about David Montgomery tomorrow. Jason, you're on the clock. I'm just, I mean, maybe you can take Burrow at 511 and 602. Maybe. So obviously, the person between me on the turn has Josh Allen. I know I would never take Joe Burrow here, but I do love the idea of stacking Joe Burrow with T. Higgins. However, there are a lot of players here that might just be better for my team. Trayvion Henderson.

Devante Adams and Roma Dunzee are three players I absolutely love in this spot. So I'm balanced at wide receiver and running back. I'm going to take either Devante Adams or Roma Dunzee. I have been rising higher and higher on Devante Adams lately. Some of the quotes coming out from McVeigh about watching the film and seeing that he had a lot more to give as part of the reason they backed out of the AJ Brown trade. But I'm also a believer in Rome.

I'm going to take Devante Adams. Old man, I'm going to pull the trigger, and I think that he will still be good this year. Betting against age. The nicest thing about Adams is that the worst version of Adams can still score double-digit touchdowns in this offense, and the best version of Adams is much better than his ADP. He's going to be an injury risk. He's one of the two oldest. He's less of an injury risk today than Mike Evans is as the other oldest. Adunze does go next. Parker Washington at 601. Jason, you're back on the clock.

And now I'm sitting here. This is where I said at the 6-2. I was going to take Joe Burrow, which I like the value is fine. I stack him with T. Higgins, great quarterback. There are a lot of late-round quarterbacks I like. Considering the fact that I already have two running backs, I know I'm. Trevo. Trevo. That's, that's.

That's who I'm actually going to take. Trayvot as an RB3. Yes. In the sixth round is where he should be going. It matches his depth chart in New England. Yeah, sure. It's where he should be going in the sixth round. Most of this offseason has been a fourth rounder. Now, you know you can take their RB1 right there, though. Yes, I could have taken Ramandre Stevenson, but as my RB3, I am going for the highest upside at the pick. So we'll see if.

We'll see if Burrow makes it back to you. I'll take Ramande right after Trevo there as another running back for my team. There was another report yesterday about how Ramandre is performing at camp and how good he looks. So I'm all in on him. I think he could be very, very good. Lamar goes at 604, Kroski Merritt at 605. Kraft. And Marvin Harrison, what a steal at 607, I think. I think so. Jalen Hertz goes next.

Yeah, I knew you would do it, Josh. See, that's my point. It's just, it's such a stupid pick for your team, too. It doesn't make any sense, Josh. You have it. You took a tight in the third. Nobody has the courage to just do this draft properly. But Joe Burroughs. Undo the pick. It's dumb. Josh, you don't even want Burrow. You don't. Yeah, I'm taking it away. In fact, I'm drafting somebody. Thank you. So listen. Joe Burroughs on my team, baby. Oh my God. Woo!

But here was... Don't doubt the power of the commissioner. Go back in time. What a... The reason I thought you could get him, Mike, which I totally believed, was because even though Jason had written down on a piece of paper, I knew when he gets on the clock, he's going to see names that when no other quarterbacks have been off the board, he's going to pass on him. You were a good friend to me today. Because he got there and he could have taken Adams and Trevion. So I just saved you all around, Mike. You got Watson and Burrow, and there was no other way you were getting both those dudes. No.

No, there was not. Josh selected Drake May, not Burrow. Yes, because he should, I mean, even Drake May is a dumb pick for you there, man. Why are you taking a, Joe Burrow was actually a good pick for him, I think. I know what you're saying because he already had a onesie, but since he has two running backs, two wide receivers, I wouldn't have blamed him in a real draft to say that it was only, it was probably for trolling.

Brian Thomas Jr. Godwin, Dowdell, and Stribling, Desjohn in the 7th. You're telling me the guy whose team name in the League of Record is grumpy old trolls. Was trolling? Yeah. It's ridiculous. It got so close to, like, nobody trolling there. Yeah. Dejohn, stribling at 702, goes behind Godwin, which I think is interesting. Mike, you're back on the clock here at 703. And you know what I must do?

Uh, either the running back position is. Yeah. It's kidding. Just kidding. The running back position. One leg. We're at the, currently to, uh, at the top of the ADP is Warren, Chuba, the Chuba, like Chuba and Tony Pollard. I could not be, be more. I don't want them on the team. I don't want it. I don't think you would take it with your last round pick. That, I, that's where Warren is for me. Warren's in that group of those two dudes.

I just don't want them. I just don't want them on my team. I just don't have interest. So J.K. Dobbins is there for me at 703. I have my faith in J.K. Dobbins has been very, very strong all offseason because R.J. Harvey, I will be honest, that Jonah Coleman love that Sean Payton is bestowing upon him has me more nervous about a possible, a larger timeshare than I want.
