Tyreek News + Head to Head Mock Draft

At 606, it's an interesting spot to get him. I mean, you get him two rounds later than someone like David Montgomery, a rookie with opportunity in Chicago. I'm not trying to talk to you into him. But ADP-wide, he was the player I was leaning towards drafting. ADP-wise, I would be reaching to take Miles Sanders here. And there's wide receivers. You know, I really liked, I've already mentioned him, Alshan, Robbie Anderson, those type of players. But other than a bi-week situation.

or an injury like they're not the wide receivers i take here are i'm not planning to play them over my big three like that would be such a rare and red alert situation so i think i'm going to go with the running back to keep trying to get more more and more and more tickets for someone to pay off well as you say you're in the identical situation that i'm in dart throw wise at the years are running back wise right

Mine's going to be wide receiver-wise where I feel like Gurley Jacobs and Cook, they're going to be enough for me. I don't have to focus on that position until later. So you did take Miles Sanders. I love your team. It sucks. Oh, thank you. Your team's great. Mayfield, White, Watkins, Darrell Henderson, off the board at 610. Geis Landry finishing out the sixth round. Jeffrey Ebron, Penny at 7.03. I was a little later than normal. I was hoping that Rashad Penny got back to me. Matt Ryan Latavius Murray.

Robbie Anderson off the board at 706. I know he's a player you like Mike, but you may be taking your shots at either Titan or running back here. You're on the clock, though. You've got to make a pick. Woo, doggie. Six quarterbacks off the board thus far through this head-to-head mock. You also have seven tight-ins that are now gone. I imagine tightening is not going to enter your mind at all at this point. So I don't, I'm not going to go with this strategy, but I just want to.

talk it through a little bit here. I just took Miles Sanders. Jordan Howard is there as well. Would you give any consideration to just loading up seeing if you have the guy or if they both have standalone value? There are probably a couple of teams where I would look at doing that, but from experience that just doesn't work out very often other than if your objective is to load your bench with players you can't drop.

That's what happens a lot of the time. I mean, last year, there were teams that had Carson, Penny Davis, right? Well, what were you going to do with them? Did you drop Penny? Did you drop Davis? Maybe eventually you did, but you were really hamstrung as a friend. Like, that's one of the things that I don't know if you're going to be in a situation where Miles Sanders and Jordan Howard, what are you going to do? Howard going to win the job? What's probably going to happen is Howard is going to be involved early.

Sanders from week five or six on is going to be great, but then you're going to have Howard locked up. So you said you weren't going with the strategy. I'm just breaking it down a little bit. Yeah, no, I like it. So as of right now, I do have at least a handful of guys ranked above Tevin Coleman. But once again, given how my team is shaping up and building, and ADP-wise, Coleman is not likely to get back to me. I'm going to take the shot.

that Coleman ends up as the starting running back and the predominant running back for the San Francisco 49ers. Because if that's the case, then I have an absolute big hit and then I can adjust accordingly from there. And like I said, I'm playing the game of ADP where I have players ranked above him, but I know they're going to come back to me.

All right, Tevin, well, that's what you have to do, right? Right. The whole essence of having breakouts and sleepers and talking about them and bringing them up, you know, on your star player list, you know, the players you're focusing on is not to draft them outside of their ADP. And I'm in the middle, so I have, I can play the ADP game pretty well. And so after Tevin Coleman with Alan Robinson, Jared Cook, Jordan Howard at 710, I'm back on the clock, got a couple picks back to back.

And when you look at the wide receiver landscape, at this point, you're taking shots on players to kind of emerge, several of them. You could go with Marvin Jones, somebody that we have in our ultimate draft kit as a value. Marvin Jones two years ago, number nine. Oh, he was a stud, yeah. I mean, number nine overall at the position. And honestly, what, the only thing that went wrong, or that went wrong for him last year.

was that it all went right two years ago, much like, I'm going to use the comparison of Tyler Lockett. Those deep balls, they just worked out far more often than they did not two years ago for Marvin Jones. The 50-50 ball, he just came down with him. And it didn't work out, the connection with him and Stafford, which then the news came out about Stafford, the injury that he was playing through. I think Marvin Jones is an absolute value at the wide receiver position currently.

And yeah, the other players that maybe by ADP are slightly ahead of him are not players that I'm interested in making, you know, adding to my wide receiver rotation. Will Fuller can't stay healthy, you know, he's a dynamic player, but he's not the one on that team. I think you're going to have a lot of this season where Marvin Jones and Kenny Galladay are bouncing back and forth as far as potential. So I'm going to take what I would view as a stabilizing pick for my roster with Marvin Jones on top of Edelman and Pettis.

and then I obviously get another pick quickly after, and I'm making, I've got to make a gamble here at this pick. Okay. Wince and Ronald Jones went next, by the way, and I'm back on the clock. I'll just be transparent. Like, the player that I want more for my roster right here than any other wide receiver on the board, and you've got Fuller, Kirk, Sterling Shepard's on the board, Larry Fitzgerald's on the board. You can go to MVS and take a shot on him. The next highest player on my board is Deshawn Jackson.

Okay. He's going to be a starter in what I think is a top five offense in football. But then I'm staring down the reality that, well, I think I can get him. I think I can get him in the ninth round. You certainly could. That's a gamble. So then I start looking, you know, I want to look somewhere else because I don't think I want to take a wide receiver. Nobody is kind of tickling me in the right places, Mike. Okay. That's what I make my best draft picks. Fitzgerald's not doing it.

So I'm looking at some upside at another position. Talk about my armpits, of course. Yeah, and I'm actually going to take, I'm going to take a shot on Royce Freeman here in the eighth round. Oh, I like it. I like that. So I think it's a value pick on a player that's going to have, like I'd rather have Royce Freeman than the pick of Jordan Howard at 710. That was ahead of me in this draft.

Rather having than Latavius Murray at 705, even though I think Murray's valuable. I think Freeman has the most upside in that eighth round range, certainly more than Ronald Jones. So I'm going to go with Royce Freeman here. And I'm going to straight up just tell you, I'm hoping to Sean Jackson makes it through two Mike Wright picks. Well, he will make it through one, absolutely, because part of my selecting of Tevin Coleman playing the ADP game, I was also playing the paying attention to what other teams have done.

the five teams after me that were going to pick twice, four of them had already selected a tight end before I took Kevin Coleman. And the team that hadn't, they took Jared Cook. So that absolutely worked out for me that I can warm up the music. Wait, what are you doing? I can do a little dance. Oh, no. And I can do the fans dancing the eighth round. Yeah, that's a steal. Oh, man.

My team is so good. A lot has been said about Dante Moncrief, James Washington, Deontay Johnson, James Connor. Where do the, you know, where does the Antonio Brown? Yeah, where do the targets go? Vance McDonald is the number one beneficiary from that situation. You know, he's coming, he's got the most time with Ben Rothesberger of that group of other possible target, you know, targets in the offense. I love that pick.

Yes, I'm extremely happy. I'll be honest with you. When I saw Vance dropping, it made me disappointed in Ingram in the 6th. I will take Vance McDonald at 806 every day of the week over every Ingram in the 6 round. If I knew I had that choice. Right. Some other highlights from this round, and we're going to have to speed it up to get through the remainder of this draft. Injoku win at the end of the round, Fitz, Shepard, Sutton off the board, to kill Harry in the ninth round. And then the Sean McCoy and Carlos Hyde. Oh, my goodness.

It's kind of funny seeing them next to each other in the ninth round of fantasy drafts hanging on fingertips on the cliff of their careers. And here they are former first round picks together in the ninth round. Mike, you're on the clock. So I'm now going to look at the – I mean, it's down to running back and wide receiver, really. And, man, I want to take a wide receiver, but at this point, for me, it would just be taking, you know, a shot at a sleeper.

Like you said, we're working with the four bench, so pretty shallow. So I'm actually going to keep, I'm going to push that sleeper pick up to another round because there is a player who is another starting running back in my eyes. I talked about Darius Geis is off my draft board. Adrian Peterson is going at the back of drafts and I will be shocked at this point if he is not the starting and predominant running back week one and at least through.

the first 25% of the season. All right. You took AP, D.D., one of your favorites. Went next. Jaylon Samuels. That's upsetting. Corey Davis, and then back to me. So I am going to take Deshaun Jackson at 9-11. I foreshadowed the pick, wanted to wait around. So I got Royce Freeman by doing that. Deshaun Jackson at 9-11. I believe that fantasy owners will be able to start Deshaun Jackson this year on the reg. I agree. I think he's one of the most underrated players in fantasy football.

He has the fatigue factor that just gets you knocked down draft boards over and over again. Metcalf and Rivers went next. I'm going to take another shot at the wide receiver position. I'm going to take MVS. So I'm going to go Deshaun Jackson and Marquez Velde is scaling back to back. This team was built. My team was built on those three running backs at the top, picked up Royce and the 8th. And then I've got shots at the wide receiver position with Edelman, Pettis, Jones, Jackson, and MVS.

I think I can breathe easy at the wide receiver position now that Jones, Jackson, and MVS fell to me. All right. And so now with my kind of my final bench pick of this draft, I'm looking at upside at the wide receiver position. I'm looking at a guy who could potentially break out. I don't want Golden Tate where he's going to be a fine player. You can play him probably every single week. It's kind of incredible he's not gone. Right. 10.06. Hey, he's just.

People are not super interested in it. But I really like Kiki here. I think that he has the potential to be a kind of a breakout, but still a little bit hampered. But Curtis Samuel has the potential to become the number one wide receiver on that team. He could be the number one option over DJ Moore. He was a reception superstar. So I'm going to take the chance that he does break out.

And now you've got to select a quarterback, as do I, in the final round of the draft, several teams taking multiple quarterbacks, which puts us in a position of still liking our options at quarterback. Which doesn't hurt me at all. I know, I know. And so, you know, when you look back at the draft as you make your pick here and you look at considering things like Aaron Rogers in the fifth round, you know, the opportunity for you to fill out the more important positions on your roster, it just comes.

Full circle here. Yeah. You basically get the opportunity to protect yourself. I mean, we both have players with risk on these rosters. Right. And the in, so full disclosure of that last pick where I took Curtis Samuel, Jared Goff, Jared Goff went just three picks before. If Goff had been there, I would have taken Jared Goff over Curtis Samuel and then taking my flyer wide receiver with my final pick of the draft. So.

With the quarterbacks left available, you know, Lamar, Jimmy Garoppolo, cousins, but Dak Prescott is there who has done nothing but be a quarterback won. His entire career now has a top weapon, even though he will, I don't believe will be reliable for fantasy in Amari Cooper. But I love Dak. I think he's a fantasy force. All right. And my last pick, the second last pick in the draft overall. Oh, nice. Josh Allen at 11. 11.

I think Josh Allen is a QB1 this season. I feel great about drafting him there. And let's run through these rosters a little bit. I will say this, just like from a top level before you kind of give your team, I'll give mine. It was a little uncomfortable going from the 11th spot in this draft because you're not quite the back-to-back position. You take a handful of gamers. I thought for sure, Green or Allen. You know, this was a team.

that had taken one wide receiver, one running back. And then they were going back to back. I think, okay, you're not going to go wide receiver, wide receiver at the turn. And they did. They went wide receiver, wide receiver. So Green and Allen didn't get back to me. I would feel like on first glance a little bit more comfortable with my team if AJ Green or Keenan Allen was my one over Edelman, even though we had gotten Allen there, that would have been pretty awesome. Yeah, I would have changed a lot for the roster. I think I might have.
