Surprise Live Draft Episode! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/2

I don't know if he's going to take Dulcich or not, but we're not talking about, you know, losing some buried treasure. If I have to go. Hunter Henry or. Brevin Jordan. Honestly, Donald Parham is interesting to me. Sure. Because they don't have the money to bring back Gerald Everett. And he doesn't have the talent to come back. Right. So. Oh, man. Donald Parham will be the primary tight in for. Before Brock Bowers. Before I was going to say. Yeah, that's fair. If they. They draft Brock Bowers. That changes. So, yeah, you know, you took your shot. DeMarcus Robinson, though, injury history. He was just, even without injuries, he was heavily involved in that offense. Those are one of the hardest positions to kind of project is you're like, oh, he needs something to happen. Not necessarily. You don't need something to happen in that offense. He usurped Tutu Atwell by the end of the year, and Tutu was having a good season on his own. So Tank Bigsby at 207, taking the shot there on a,

balanced back season. The team, a couple teams after you. Kyborg, about to go back on the clock. His last few picks, he went with Daniel Jones, and now he took Bryce Young at 210. So his, his quarterback room is Fields, Daniel Jones, and Bryce Young. And so that's the kind of thing that puts you into an institution. Yeah. So good luck in the straight jacket. If Daniel Jones maintains control of his starting job. with the way that he does run, he will give you a couple weeks. Now, he did take Daniel Jones above Derek Carr, just worth noting. I'm okay with that. Just for upside day. Yeah, I'm okay with that. I prefer that. I would rather have, I mean, the issue here is you don't know that he's going to be the starter for the Giants for sure. I think it's, but assuming most likely. That is the most likely outcome. Assuming both of these players, Derek Carr and Daniel Jones played the entire season.

For fantasy purposes, I want the upside of the rushing touchdowns from Daniel Jones. Well, as we wait for your final two picks, Jason, it's worth noting... Give me that D. I want Greg Dolson to get back to me. That's a clip. So, speaking of the D, Daniel Jones, this year is a dead cap hit of $69 million. I'm sorry, everybody. Nice. And he's, I think, we're locked in. that he's going to be the guy. It would be next year when the dead cap drops to 22. I guess the issue is do you just, do they have a Jaden Daniels fall to them and draft someone that just, they're like, you're the starter now? I guess it could happen. Yeah, there's some interesting chatter that Kyle just shared about J.J. McCarthy being in play at two or three in the NFL draft. Yeah, we got a tweet here from Ben Standig, who is a senior writer for the athletic.

And that's pretty hot news coming out of the combine. I mean, that's been the kind of drumbeat has been McCarthy being higher and higher all the way up to eight. But now it's like, you know, you know, we knew that Mack Jones was in contention for the 49ers when they took Trey Lance, right? And that was a, it reminds me of a similar situation in terms of just moving up and up. But unfortunately for you, Jason Penix has been drafted. Oh, no. And Greg Dolcich is gone. Oh, no. No D. No D for you. Wow. And I'm sorry, everybody. This is not. This is Saturday. It's a Saturday show. This is a bonus episode. That's, that's, I mean, we're almost wrapped up. Frank Gore Jr., Noah Fantt would have been somebody that you could have pivoted to easily. Sure. I, I, I.

I think I like Hunter Henry and Donald Parham better than Fant. Which one of those two guys would you guys? The one with the team. Okay. You don't think. Is Henry under contract? Henry's a free agent. Yeah, the one with the team. Okay. The irony is that Henry could very well, like, ruin your Parham pick. Like if, I guess they don't really have the free agent money probably to do that. They probably go draft, but, but yeah, I guess Henry will land someplace and. All right, so I'm seven picks away, and we're looking for some upside shot at running back or wide receiver. Now, looking at my team, running back, Jonathan Taylor, Derek Henry, three rookies, and Miles Sanders, do I need a running back more? Or at wide receiver, AJ Brown, Devante Smith, Calvin Ridley, Rashad Bateman, DeMarcus Robinson, and three rookies, which position would you be trying to focus on? Mike? I'm...

Not listening to anything you're saying. I am looking at the players in the ADP. Okay. Tell me who you like. All right. So I'm looking at running backs and wide receivers. Just trying to find any. Sneaky. Any story that we can tell ourselves that this player will have some. So like ADP wise, just for those listening, it's at the top is Kenneth Gainwell, Israel, Abanacanda. Alexander Madison. Germany. He's in the list somewhere. Jermaine Burton, who I have, I recently told Kyle, I think he is an interesting prospect as well. Kyle gave me the, eh, but Burton's production, his production profile is what his, he, uh, played this last year at Alabama. And his, his A dot is out of control. His speed is great. He was just reading rainbow too, right? Jermaine Burton. Nice. Yeah, look.

Look, it's late. It's a Saturday. You can say anything you want. Anything you want to say. It's a Saturday show. I definitely wasn't going to say that. But I was like, it's round 19. Yeah. Yeah. This is when those jokes belong. So as a someone who projects the archetype is deep threat big touchdowns. I don't know. Okay. Or did you mention Darius Slate? No, that's the next name I was going to go to of Darius Slayton. That's where I'd take a shot. He's been the leading wide receiver for the Giants for two straight years. They can't get rid of them. He has monster games. He has monster games every year. He does have very big individual games, which is what you're looking for in best ball. Your last round pick is more likely to break in once or twice with big scores than to just become an every week starter.

Now, alternatively, if you take that shot on someone like Izzy, that's when a, you know, Breece Hall goes down and you've got someone more relevant for the whole season. Yeah, the insurance running backs, I would be looking at, well, Abanagan, it looks like he went. What is Michael Carter's contract status? I, he's not, he's, I don't think he's under contract. By the way, Jason, who did you go with? People would like to know. Yeah, no, he's under contract with the Cardinals. Funny. I took Donald Parham Jr. and Darius Slayton for my final picks. All right. Well, what did the final positional breakdown end up for your team? So two quarterbacks, six running backs, nine wide receivers, and three tight ends. And you don't draft anywhere but the 12th spot, right? That's kind of what you... I'm hard-coded, it seems, because I think we did the math and it was like...

one and 240 something thousand that I was. Something's not randomized here. Your wide receivers are AJ Brown, Devante Smith, Calvin Ridley, Troy Franklin, Keon Coleman, Ladd McConkey, Rishaw Bateman, DeMarcus Robinson, and Darius Slateon with your last pick. Your running backs, Jonathan Taylor, Derek Henry, Trey Benson, Braylon Allen. Both of those seem like you're going to get one nice year out of at least one of those guys. Ray Davis. Miles Sanders, and then your tight-in position, Najoku, Donald Parham, Darren Waller with Hertz and Love at quarterback. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. No, no, he definitely took those players. I'm saying, I'm saying maybe that will work. Oh, you're giving me a maybe great? Yeah, on your tight end position. Oh, on the tight end position. Yeah, no, I'm not the whole team. Just the trying to think of what could go wrong for your tight end position is everything.

yeah that definitely could if Watson plays the way that we've seen him play the last two years if Darren Waller continues to be old and hurt and if Brock Bowers yeah goes to the Chargers I am curious who will be Mr. Irrelevant here in five picks I will read you Kyle's team Kyle I want you to think about What you've done. What you've done to him and what you like about your team. That was a great moment for me. Bejohn Robinson, Kenneth Walker, David Montgomery, Kendrae Miller, and Gus Edwards are the running back core for your roster. Marvin Harrison, Stefan Diggs, Brian Thomas, Romeo Dobbs, Lockett, Gabe Davis, Wandale, Mims, Berks. And why not throw Alec Pierce and his one deep catch a year into the lineup. It's going to be a great week. Kelsey and. Wow, he's got Ben, Jordan.

tight end. And then who's his quarterbacks? Fields, Daniel Jones and Bryce Young. How are you feeling, Kyle? It could work. That's best ball, baby. That's best ball. So any other thoughts, Jason, on your roster? Any regrets? I'm fairly happy. I like the way that some of the positions fell to me. There are obviously every draft. There's players that you would have been happier if so-and-so just made it. two picks further and like mark andrews like mark andrew you got a favorite pick in your draft right now is there like one that you're like yeah that one kyle didn't take favorite favorite pick in the draft i actually think it is jalen hertz at the three four turn even though it's early i like that it opens up another roster spot for me the tush push being active he gives a really really activate floor activate the tush push um okay
