Welcome in to maybe the best episode of the year on the fans of the footballers DFS embedding
podcast. I'm your host Kyle Bergenoni, and I am joined as always by Matthew Mockett
like it's hot bets. Time to mock, baby. Everybody knows something. Nobody knows anything,
and that's the NFL draft this year, and I can't wait to talk about it. That's quite a bold
statement, Kyle. I mean, we do a lot of shows every year. I love this show, and it's only our
second one of the year, and you're like, this is one of, if not the best, I'm with you though. I do
love our win totals episode. Always go on every year, and this one is super fun. I feel like this
year, it's going to be weird. Like, whatever you think the top 15's going to look like,
we've mentioned this before, like obviously we're going to debate Bailey or Reese at two.
Nobody knows what the Cardinals are doing. Like, you know, once you get there, like things kind
of fall off the rails. They don't know what they're doing. No, certainly not. Look at their team.
So we'll see how it goes, but I'm excited to talk about kind of how this goes, and I was thinking
about this when I was doing my mock, which we'll unveil together here, of like in showdown,
we talk about this in DFS where it's like your lineup should tell a story. Your mock draft
has such an if then, then this will happen effect. Just like we talk about with Gameflow and everything
like that in DFS. So I was just kind of thinking about like stacking up bets and kind of correlating
them together and all that sort of stuff. So I'll talk about some of that today on the show. Maybe
we'll get some more of that in discord. But yeah, man, I'm excited. This should be a lot of fun.
It's a great show because there is a part of the prospect process that we do on the Dynasty
podcast. If you haven't listened all of those, make sure you jump into that where we're talking about
these players for fantasy. We're talking about them and what correlates or what translates from
college to the pros. This part of the analysis is part speculation. I mean, that's just anybody
out there. And then we do have hard data of we know this about this team and what they've done.
We know this about the player and who they met with. And that part of the process and the data
is something that we've added over the last year or two. And it's it's fun. My wife actually asked
me like yesterday, she's like, man, you're really working hard yesterday. I mean, it's off season.
The ballers are golfing. And I'm like, my eyes are crossed right now from looking at all this top
30 visit, private workout, who met with who at the combine data. And yesterday was the very last day
of it. So I feel like I had to squeeze and all this stuff. And I still feel like there's just so
many variables. So I just want to say this, you brought it up. If then, then this could happen.
That's what the draft is. So mock drafts are going to have a ton of data that are wrong,
but they also do give us certain probabilities. So that's what we're working from is historically
this is what's happened. And therefore, I'm going to make my best educated guess not necessarily
like always this fits this team's need. For sure. Yeah, for sure. And along the same lines too,
like, I think back to last year's draft. And at the time, there was a consensus that
form that was like, Oh, this makes a lot of sense. You know, and then all of a sudden, like one or
two teams does something different. And then the other teams adjust in the draft. And we're like,
we didn't think this guy was going to be here. We didn't really spend a lot of time with him,
but like, he's definitely the highest on our board. Let's just snag him. So you'll see, I think
you'll see a lot of that this year because of the fact that it is not rich with quarterback talent.
Obviously, we're only going to see one tight end in the first round, like the running back class
this week, like, and there's not a lot of highly coveted premium position players. And so
if a team says, look, I just value this guy more than I would in other years, like you might see
a safety golier than earlier than usual or something like that. So I'm excited. I think there's
going to be a lot of curveballs on draft night, which always makes for a lot of fun from a viewing
standpoint, which then NFL loves this to be entertaining. So I think from a viewing standpoint,
it'll be a lot of fun. I think for bedding, it'll be fun because there are some long shot values
that I think are on the board right now. And I always hesitate when there's consensus about
a week out or even a week plus out. We'll talk about this when we get to the Browns. I don't know
if you saw recently, like all the big time kind of mocked draft guys are mocking Cleveland to move
back and Dallas to move up. It's like, man, if if that is what everybody thinks more than a week out,
I'm skeptical. Could it happen, of course? I mean, Jerry loves to be aggressive and all those
sort of things. But yeah, I'm just skeptical of the consensus. Like I said, I think this year,
more than ever, there will be some wild moments in the top 10. Yeah. So we will go through our mock
drafts, bets, and I have not shared them with each other. So we'll reveal them on the podcast.
And the goal is, as we go through each pick, we're not just saying, here's what we think it is.
We're also stating, here's what we think maybe a really good bet is or good value. I mean,
that's what the people here Kyle brings the value every time. Dude, do they talk about no,
but the value? Dude, talk about that Mendoza value right now, you know? I mean,
there's still value on that number, Kyle. That's better. It's just funny because like I could say,
this is what I think the team should do with their needs. Here's what I think is more probable.
And then here's what I think is a bet that someone, someone should take at plus 700. That's a long shot.
Yeah. But if you hit that, you know, that's what we really care about. I was going through the
data. You were mentioning teams that like, man, I just didn't see this coming when the Buccaneers
drafted at Google last year. Yeah, that's a perfect example. At 19th or a couple years before
that JSN at 20th, those two wide receivers did not meet with those teams at all. In fact,
I'm pretty sure just like in going through the process that like they had them highly rated on
their board. And they did not assume that those players would be there at all, especially JSN.
Like JSN was one of those guys that like met with tons of teams. I think everyone assumed he was
the first wide receiver off the board at 20th. And you're like, well, they have locked it and met
calf. So they don't really need him. So nobody would have mocked him there. And now you look at
you like, oh, well, this was the offensive player of the year. And they just won the Super Bowl.
In hindsight, they took the best player available. And I just love the team building aspect of how
the draft works. We will debate about that. If like, man, is this good for the team bad for the team?
So talk about all that. We will have some articles on the website. We'll post some of these.
You'll post some betting mock draft stuff. We do have our draft props, which are available.
The bets has been firing away him and I go back and forth. We have that. And then I will have
an article that is turning into a mini novel of the 2026 NFL prospect visits diving into all
of the data. And lots of rabbit trails there, bets. I'm going to need you to get that wrapped up
as soon as you can, Kyle, because I'm going to rely on that when I do my final mock for the Huttler
report. So I'm going to need you to dial it in here, brother, because I'm leaning on you.
Yeah. Well, what's funny is I started writing it out and I went through a bunch of scenarios for
the quarterbacks. I'm like, the quarterbacks aren't even like that valuable to know. Like, there's
very few visits to go off of it. It really doesn't matter. I do have a bunch of tie sims and stuff
in there about historically, here's what's happened. What should they do? What could they do? Here's
all the different teams that he's met with. So all that will be on the fan's footballers.com if you
want some more data. But I got to hit this drop now. Makalaka ding dong because I'm going to keep
hitting it throughout the show. It's kind of like your wake up call. If you are, if you were just
droning on about the jets, or if you're like, man, let's talk about the Eagles. I'm going to be
like, dude, come on. Makalaka ding dong. So hopefully you're prepared. Let's get into it.
The fantasy footballers mock draft.
So Betzo and I will be going through the first half or so of the NFL draft. To be honest,
once we get past the jets at pick 16, there's not as many offensive players to work whether
they're some wide receivers. But that's what I feel like we're going to see a bunch of like
edge guys, a bunch of like offensive linemen. So in terms of like entertainment value, it might not
be as exciting. Kind of talk to the people how we do this process. We don't put trades in our mock
drafts because we found historically they happen away from a way less frequently and it's really hard
to predict. So you mentioned like the Browns and you mentioned the Cowboys, the chiefs or another
team. It's like, oh, they could trade up. It's like, it's hard for me to put that in a mock.
And then I look back later at even the best of the best. And it's just doesn't happen.
Yeah. And I think in this class, specifically, it's hard to mock trades because oftentimes,
there's a discussion in the top five. It's like, if you want a quarterback, you got to go get him.
There's no quarterbacks to go get. You know, so maybe somebody falls in love with a car and
I'll take and they want to move up a couple spots to grab him or a corner or something like I could
see it. But the general consensus from a lot of the NFL draft analysts out there is most teams
are saying we'd like to move back. Well, that's great. But the problem is you need somebody to dance
with where you got to have somebody to come up as well. So it could happen. I just don't think
that it'll happen a ton in this draft just because there's not a lot of highly coveted players
at premium positions, which talking out loud, we need to look after we record making a note for
all the listeners and myself. Usually there's a market up somewhere about like number of trades in
the first round. I haven't seen that yet. But historically, the under on that has been a good look.
So just booking marking that book, marking that excuse me for after the show to look at. But
yeah, the way we do this, like we go pick by pick through the top 16 or so from a process standpoint,
I use a lot of like consensus big boards. I use a lot of top 30 visits that you have gathered
for us Kyle and just team needs to some degree, but also kind of looking at like GM tendencies,
do certain GMs and coaching staffs prioritize athletic testing traits, stuff like that to some GMs
and other staffs value more like senior bowl guys or experience players, stuff like that. So
there's a lot that goes into it at the end of the day. Like you said, these are educated guesses.
We're hoping we're right on a couple. And I think talking through specifically for this show,
for betting like if if you feel super strongly about a certain take, great, you can bet on it.
Or just saying like, I feel shaky about this. I could see X, Y and Z happening in this spot.
And I think these numbers are off as a result. So that's kind of my process through the whole thing.
But like I said, let's let's jump in. This is going to be a lot of fun. Yeah. And then there's
some teams that just are vibes based. Yeah, they're just like, man, let's just feel it out in the
draft. Let's just see what's going on year to year. And then there's other teams that don't have
picks. They just say, hey, let's light not just one first drum pick on fire. Let's light two. It's
like when do the Falcons pick? They have a second. Yeah, they have a second round, man.
Okay. It's it's going to be huge. It's going to be it's going to be great. Yeah. They said it
couldn't be done to light two first round picks on fire. And they did it. They totally did it.
What a what a team. I know. Okay. We're going to start off at number one. Raiders for nomenosa. It's
minus 20,000. You should have bet this three months ago. Yeah. Nothing to nothing to talk about.
Yeah. He's only met with the Raiders. That's all you don't know. All right. Let's go to the
jets at two because right now it is a coin flip for this team that also has a pick later on at 16.
But in the betting markets, it is a coin flip between David Bailey at minus 115 and Arval Reese
at minus 115 as well. Before you review your pick, like the story of this selection has been who
of the jets met with. And then recently, as of yesterday, as this recording, they canceled their
meeting with David Bailey, who they did meet with at the combine. The jets are also a team that
have kind of stated publicly like the reason we do our visits is to check medicals. And in all my
studies with top 30 visits, we have to understand it's not the same for each team. Like the Rams don't
give too far. It's about the top 30 visits. There are other teams that have always been strictly like
we do this and we stick to it. And the jets for the quarterback position hilariously have always
done it that way. Whenever the jets have picked a quarterback, which sorry, Jets fans, it's been a lot
of quarterbacks. You've drafted the last decade. You've gone that route. They're not picking a quarterback
here. And so how are you taking this information about Bailey, been canceling a visit? It doesn't
mean they don't want them. It probably means they already know what they know. And these are the only
two guys we're really considering. Yeah. And everybody agrees it's going to be one of these two.
David Bailey or Arbel Reese. I don't put a lot of stock into the canceled visit. Like you said,
I think it just tells us they know who they're taking. And that's where it ends. I don't think anybody
actually knows. I think everybody inside the jets building knows, but you have national reporters
such as like Shreger, DJ, guys like that that are saying like we think it's Bailey, we lean
Bailey. And then you have a lot of the local beat reporters that are just thinking we think it's
Reese, which tells you no one knows. So we took David Bailey in the betting market after our
conversation last week of saying, look, I don't think Arbel Reese is like the slam dunk the way
the betting market suggests. Now it has moved the other direction. I don't know if you can still
find plus money on Arbel Reese. If you can, I personally would hedge it just because if you're
able to get plus money on both sides, you know, guarantee your profit at the second pick,
I would do that. The way things stand right now. And I've heard some people talk about this with
the jets. It's like Aaron Glenn has so much pressure to win. You know, it was a terrible first
season. Like they're not going to let him fart around for three years and then be stuck holding
the bag again, which the jets have done so many years. In my opinion, I think Aaron Glenn is
not the guy. No matter what. Now they can't publicly say that or they can't talk about that in
the building. I would just think if somebody said that about me, I would just cry inside about
anything. Like, man, you know, Kyle, he's not the guy. He's not that guy. He can be a DC. You
know, he's not the guy. But my thinking here is like people have talked about, look, if Aaron
Glenn wants to, wants to show some promise this year with the jets and keep his job for another
year, like they should take the proven guy in David Billy. In my opinion, you should be drafting
for the team, not for Aaron Glenn's job. And I think Arvel Reese is the most likely guy to have this
huge ceiling on the NFL. Of course, weird stuff happens. Nobody can predict a career. But like,
he's the higher ceiling player in my opinion. You have a lot of people ranking Arvel Reese higher
on big boards. So I think if I had to pick right now today, I would put Arvel Reese for this mock.
I put David Bailey because of just a general consensus around it. Like, hey, we're hearing this.
It could be Bailey. I wouldn't be shocked either way. But right now, you're thinking about like my
future final mock for next week before NFL draft. I probably as of today, lean Arvel Reese.
Okay. So I think Arvel Reese is the better player if I were the GM. Yes.
I have David Bailey in my mock as well. Okay. So the, the not meeting with him doesn't really
scare me off at all. It is something that we've seen historically. I have this number in front of me
that among top five NFL draft picks over the last decade, 87% of them. That's a crazy
majority had a known top 30 visit or a private workout. So not talking about like they saw him at
the combine or, you know, whatever they had lunch. This is a very specific visit. However,
in this instance, I know that they met with him at the combine and the Jets are a team that
historically just said, Hey, this is about medicals and he has no medical issues. So it doesn't
really matter production wise, David Bailey was better this past year. Yep. So right now,
that's where I lean. So if you're betting this today based on what we did, you're saying I'm
just going to head with Arvel Reese. If you can get plus money, I would. I don't know if that's
still out there in the market anywhere. But if you can get plus money, which we took on David Bailey
last week plus 340, you can get anything plus one 10 plus one 15 or better on Reese. I would just
do it and lock in profit. All right. One more thing I want to add about David Bailey is the
only other piece of information I have is that I know he wasn't with the top golf crew.
With Washington. Oh, I was like, Jets the top golf team. Let me throw this out there. So
Washington has historically done this thing. They did it back with Jane Daniels and it's kind of
a fun, different structure that the way this team does. They get all the best players. All the boys
just together for a good night. And they really want to see like, you know, who shines through.
So like Jane Daniels was like cool, calm, collected, had everybody together. Everybody
else was probably drinking too much. But no, the speculation. But David Bailey was not part of this
crew where everybody else basically in the top 10 was at that visit. So is that Washington saying,
hey, we we're not considering him or we don't think that he's even going to be on the board at all.
That's just another point to at least consider that like they view David Bailey as like potentially
not there. Um, the Jets, the Jets don't have any other visits. So others in Reese and they're
canceled one with Bailey and then a bunch of quarterbacks. Yeah. It's going to be an address
for here. And we'll talk about what they're going to do at 16 later on. All right. Cardinals are up
next. The betting favorite is our Val Reese at minus 150. Is it kind of one of those things where
you just kind of flip flop who the guy is here or or do we get some late run from our boy,
Francis Maui Goa, the offensive tackle who I can pronounce his name perfectly this week.
Maui Noah Maui Noah. Sorry, Francis. We screwed it up last week. Maui Noah Kyle. Dang it.
You know what? When he's in the NFL for six years, we'll finally get it down. Maui Noah. Yes,
there was a lot of mocks with him going third. And we kept being like he didn't meet with
this team. And as we talked about last week, it's so rare for an offensive tackle in the top 10
to go to a team without a top 30 visit. Now that has been reported. So I see where it is,
Francis Maui Noah. With this, that said, if you guys missed it last week, I believe it was. Some
news came out that he had to go back for a medical recheck due to a back injury.
Reportedly, everything checked out fine for now. He played a full season last year. It's not like
this is a brand new thing. But there were some rumblings like could this be an issue that maybe
is addressed down the line? It's possible. We don't know what teams value that or don't.
I just think there's a possibility that Maui Noah could slide a little further than the
consensus thinks if that medical stuff is, if any substance, which I don't know if it is.
All that to say, I have Arval Reese here. My lean right now is that they will take
basically whoever the judge don't. They'll just take the other ed rusher. So right now,
I've got a Bailey then Reese. If it goes Reese, then Bailey, I think that makes sense.
If you miss anything on the second pick for plus money to guarantee your profit,
you could also, in my opinion, just bet David Bailey third overall at plus odds,
and then get kind of guaranteed profit assuming that happens. But maybe the carnal's trade back
and something weird happens here. But presumably, you would think if somebody trades up to third,
they're doing it for one of these ed rushers. So I'm still comfortable with that angle.
Right. And if you get those, you know, there's certain markets where it's like the top five drafted
order and they're not team specific, you need to be very clear. That's basically what you're
looking for. Mendoza, whatever order of Reese and Bailey. And then we go on from four and five.
The carnal's have met with Reese, Bailey, Jeremiah Love, and Maui Noah. And that was like what?
Like at the very, very end that got reported. That was reported on Wednesday this past week.
Yeah. So those are kind of the ones that we're considering. I think there, if I was the GM,
Montiasa for it, I would trade down. But, you know, there's just so many different things.
Maui Noah would be a right tackle for them because they have Paris Johnson. So it's just like,
that's just expensive at third overall to take a right tackle. All right, let's go to the titans at four.
Jeremiah Love is the betting favorite at plus 100 even money. I feel like I could go in a bunch
of different directions here. But, man, it might just go look like a fish just taking chalky chalk.
That's what I'm doing. Okay, we're scared. We're scared. Yeah, look,
this feels very similar to last year with genty. If you guys are calling the conversation,
there was like weeks of being like genties, the raiders, man, like it's the writings on the wall.
And then we got cute or the public kind of got cute. And it's like, well, maybe the Jags,
maybe this, maybe that. And it's like, oh, it was the most obvious answer the whole time.
Every big board you look at across the league from whatever source you use, Jeremiah Love is a top
five. If not top three player in this class. And I don't think he's making it to Washington at seven.
So in my opinion, he is going to go in the top five. Charles McDonald works with Yahoo. He,
they did it like this little segment on one of his shows yesterday. It was like by or sell,
you know, he's a top five pick. And he said, I'm buying because if he doesn't go to the Titans,
I think the giants will snag him. So I think there's a very good chance he is a top five
selection in this class. You can argue the running back value versus whatever else in terms of
of this class. But the bottom line is he's just, I think the best player available at this point
when you look at big boards across the industry. So there was a ton of buzz on Love to the Titans
coming out of the combine. Then there was some public speculation of like, ah, maybe, maybe fall
to seven. I think we're back to where we started with this. And it's just the most obvious answer.
And it's Jeremiah Love. Yeah. This regime also is not part of the Tony Pollard Tajay Spears group. So
you don't have to connect them together. Is there any value? So right now, he's at even money to go
fourth overall, to go fifth overall, it's plus five 50. Any interest in a sprinkle?
The only thing that would make that possible, I think, is if the Titans went off the board and I've
seen some correlations with Fred Warner, you know, with San Francisco and Abbasala to sunny styles.
If they kind of threw us a curveball and took styles at four, then I think the giants will be in play
at five four for Jeremiah Love. But I don't know that I'm going to bet that personally.
Yeah. The only scenarios where I see that is there's a trade-up candidate. The Cardinals take
Malinoa. There's just a couple different, you know, things there where it's like, oh, wow,
Bailey's available or Reese is somehow available at four and they take them there or sunny styles.
So that's not what I have. It feels like a square bet at four. It also feels like a square move
to take a running back at four. But whatever, man, if you want to build your team that way and take
a first round running back in the top 10, it's cool. You won't win that way. I've been there.
Okay, let's go to the giants. I have a bit of a, we both have picks here that are different
than the consensus right now. Sunny styles, the linebacker, combine, extraordinaire out of Ohio
state is the betting favorite and I use favorite loosely. It's at plus 175. I have Caleb Downes,
the safety and this is me actually being honest and probably doing a little bit more projecting
here of what worked for John Harbaugh in Baltimore and him looking over and saying, hey, Caleb Downes,
he reminds me of Kyle Hamilton. Let's just take him there and I get that the positional, you know,
you don't take a safety at five usually. You don't take him to top 10. It's like Eric Barry and
a bunch of other guys. It just doesn't happen. But Caleb Downes is also like the one of the high
character guys that every single interviewer said like, this is the dude when he walks in,
everybody loves him. So that's where I have the giants taken at five. I don't know if I'd take
a safety there, but I don't have sunny styles here. Well, I think it's interesting as everybody's
talking about this class is like, you know, would you take a running back at four? You know,
it's like, would you take a linebacker at four? Would you take a linebacker at five? Of course not.
Would you take a safety at five? No, of course not, but that's this draft, right? So I don't think
this is crazy. I will say the thing on Downes that was interesting is I had projected him to be
me be like a, I don't know, Dallas pick or something like that in that range. And when Shreger put out
his first mock, he said that the feedback he got from around the league was like, there's no way
Caleb Downes is going to be available at 12. So if you think that's right, then presumably,
we should slot him in somewhere in the top 10. So I agree with you on that take. That makes a lot
of sense. The thing with the giants, it's interesting is they've talked a lot about a
hardball. It's talked a lot about stopping the run and the trenches. And when you hear the stop
the run, it makes sense with sunny styles. You mentioned the parallels with like, he's always had
kind of a star safety. He's also always had a star linebacker. So I think sunny styles does make
sense here. I went with just a curve ball to see what would happen to the rest of the top
10 if I made this pick. So I have a Spencer Fano going here. He talked about the trenches. Like
I said, and I know they just resigned and remained aluminum or maybe they can play him a guard and
figure it out from there. But I think Fano is like an interesting sprinkle. I see eight to one on
Caesar's to be the fifth pick only because if they do go offensive line here and they do want to
protect protect Jackson Dart. There's a path where I think that's possibility. But again, I did
this more as like an exercise to see how this unfolds from the rest of the top 10. From what I
could find out, maybe you can correct this for me. I saw them. They did meet with him. I don't think
that they have met with Maui Noah. So that's why that's why I went with Fano over Maui Noah and
look, if the Maui Noah back stuff is I don't say real, but like a team might say, look, we'll take
a coin flip here. We'll use the other one. I think Fano for first offensive lineman drafted.
There might be some value on that as well. Yeah, that he's definitely the most versatile of the
group. Like and I actually have him spoiler alert as the first offensive lineman taken. It'll be
later on in this draft. So I do agree with you. Like I think there's value and figuring out the
markets for Fano. The giants are weird, man, because like their visits of the top 10 have been
Reese who we don't think will be there. Love who we just drafted the Titans. Carnell Tate
and Mansor Delaan. So the corner back at a LSU. So it's like, there's this group that we're trying
to figure out where do they fit in of like sunny styles and Ruben Bain Caleb Downs defensive guys
that were kind of like looking at this team and saying like, I feel like they can go there. I mean,
Tate. Could they go Tate? Like that would be a really, really cool team. Don't forget they added
your boy, Darnell Mooney. This off season. I was looking at their doubt chart today. I was like,
oh man, they love a good field stretcher. He's not that productive. Well, they still have
they still have various slate and they have to fight it out to figure out who wants to have that
role. But I think the giants are a little bit of a wild card. There has been a consensus about
sunny styles fitting what he wants to do. And I kind of did that with Downs. So Downs at plus,
you know, 330 is fine. Fanon DK is at plus 1800. Oh, wow. That's a huge difference across the
market. Yeah. That's why you have to line shop on this stuff. Like there's no consensus when
it comes to the odds on this. Like, you know, if you're new to sport or to betting for the NFL
draft, like in prop season, it's very rare to find like a 68 and a half Russian yards and then
the other books at like 58 and a half. That just doesn't happen in this. They don't know how to
price it. So generally speaking, you can find some off market numbers if you shop around. So make
sure you're doing that if you're looking at this stuff. All right. Let's take a quick break.
And we'll be right back.
From premieres April 19th on NGN Bloss. In a small, inescapable town,
understanding the monsters may be the only way out.
Desperate hope may lead residents toward even darker truths.
I think they're doing it to make us afraid. Nothing worked.
Something ancient is feeding off of their suffering and it won't stop.
Survival will demand impossible choices from season four premieres April 19th on NGN Bloss.

I realize that you and I were just, you know, chatting away, just doing our thing.
Makalaka ding dong. And I never, never took a break for the good old girl. I know there's people
out there that don't care. And then there's corporate that definitely cares.
You're getting a memo. They're like, you talked about the top five without hitting that button.
Are you kidding me? Are let's go to six? It's the Browns. They also have picked 24.
We talked about it last week that it's either you pick a wider seeper here and offensive line
in later or vice versa. Carnell Tate is the betting favorite at plus 175. You could go if you
wanted to spin Savannah at only plus 475. So it's very different than him going to the giants.
Very different market. I have Tate. And that also still feels like a square play. I also have
Carnell Tate. Do you have your top 30 stuff pulled up right now? Oh, do I ever? Well, I was looking
at, well, as you speak to here in a minute, I was looking at the offensive linemen that they've
met with as far as the tackles. And it seems like the vast majority of the quality of tackle.
That's how I put it based off big board rankings are the guys that are going to be available.
Maybe at yes, 18 to 25 ish. Not that they haven't met with a couple of these top guys.
But the vast majority of those offensive line visits are players that you would probably
consider a reach at six. So that's why I went with Carnell Tate is like, I think their signal maybe
is saying maybe you would take the offensive linemen later. I don't know if that's going to happen.
That's just my speculation based off their top 30 stuff. But I'm with you. I have Carnell Tate here.
They just need a guy. They need a guy at pass catcher. They need a legit alpha,
wide receiver one type player. And if you look at Carnell Tate's over under, it's like minus
250 or something for the under seven and a half. So this just feels like a sweet spot for Carnell Tate.
Yeah, one of the things that we look at in the process of the top 30 visits is like, where do these,
where would these fit in on the board? And we use mock draft database as kind of a proxy,
just say, approximately wherever this player go. And we've found over the years is actually a pretty
good, like it's not perfect. There's some mocks that are way off. But at the end of the day,
at least gives us a range to work with the starting place to say, Hey, this guy on big boards,
the top 100 player, maybe he gets picked 75, but like that's at least something for us to work with.
A lot of the offensive linemen that they've met with are guys that are going like way later on.
And so they met with some guys at the combine. That's fine. I can't really go off that data and say,
like, this is exactly what they want to do. But where they've done a ton of their visits is the
wide receiver position. And it's the most in the league. Like it's eight. So if you're doing that
much homework on all of the top guys, it seems like at six, that would be, you know, it wouldn't
shock me if this was like Maui Noah, like that, that's in play here. Fanos in play. But would you bet
Carnell Tate? We haven't as the first wide receiver. That feels like a very good bet that we made,
you know, while back. Would you bet plus 175 to go to the Browns? I don't think I would. I hope
listeners are with us on that price. I think we got minus 115, like a month and a half ago on
Carnell Tate to be the first wide receiver. I'm probably just going to ride that out and hopefully
cash that one. But I don't love that number because I could see them taking an offensive linemen
totally. All right. Let's go to the commanders at seven. And we mentioned them earlier as the top
golf crew. So that throws my data set, like off where it's like, okay, well, everybody got to play
golf together. Is that the same that I should treat as somebody else that came in for a private
workout for a different team that goes, feel very, very different? We know that they met with
Arvel Reese, Jeremiah Love, Sonny Styles, Carnell Tate, Ruben Bain, Caleb Downs, Mansor Delane.
That's the crew that they had in and said, and I'm a Kyle Eman and Jordan Tyson too,
Cayman. It's one of those guys. I'm telling you that right now. So do you have a lean?
I don't have a lean because I think their selection is just going to be based off whatever happens
in front of them. Do you think somebody ordered some food? Like, yeah, I wouldn't eat it.
My Kyle Eman was just weird again or something. He's off the list now, you know.
Just on his phone. Come on, my Kyle. The other thing about Washington that's interesting is
they are also a team that has been kind of pegged by a lot of people as they'll trade back
because they don't have a second round pick. So essentially, do they try to move back and
gain more capital? Or do they just stick here and try to hit a home run? And I think if you're
looking at this roster, I totally get the wide receiver appeal. I think that makes sense.
But they need so much help defensively. And I think they'll take Sonny Styles if he's available.
In your mock, you had, oh, you didn't have Styles go yet. I didn't have Styles go either.
And so I have the corner quote slide stopping here with Washington. Like,
they, man, they need everything defensively corner linebacker. Like, they need that. And yes,
I understand the wide receiver appeal. I think they could take Carnal Tate fees here.
But I think this team will likely go defense just given how many issues they had last year.
Yeah. This one was tough. So I went a little bit narrative street here just to be honest.
So I picked from that group of players that we talked about. I think Sonny Styles is in play.
I think about how bad the defense was last year. I think it's going to be a defensive player.
They've done a lot of homework at safety. If Caleb Downs is here, I think that they're interested.
Done a lot of four visits in at the cornerback position. I have Mansor DeLine,
a cornerback out of LSU. So you can make the connection there. LSU, Jay Daniels. But what if I told you
what if I told you he is a Washington DC boy? That's like where he was, where his family still is
bringing in that connection. Also Dan Quinn is a sucker for big corners like solid corners. So
that's that's where I meant. I like this call from a value standpoint, the value Kyle.
Let me look up the markets because the markets are, I mean, don't even get me wrong.
Moving the lines. I haven't bet it yet. So I haven't. Just an excuse to hit the drop.
I think a lot of the mocks that you see right are maybe they take a wider see right here.
It's Sonny Styles like me. I rarely see Mansor DeLine's name associated with the Washington
commanders. But I think he's very alive to go here and you look at his odds for top 10. I mean,
they're through the roof. So if it's not here and you think it might be somewhere like New Orleans
or Kansas City or the Bengals, like that makes sense to me. But I think there's a mismatch in the
possibility, like you said, connecting the dots that DeLine could be here and could be the selection
versus the odds. So I don't know what those odds are, Kyle. But if they're long shot enough for me that
I might be interested in a sprinkle, I might do that. Yeah. If I, if there was a market,
for the commanders to take a quarterback or safety, I feel like that's like the one that I like the
most. It's plus 650 for DeLine plus 750 for Downs, who we know is part of the top golf crew as well.
I think secondary is like what they need. They did address it a little bit. They got to
meet Robertson and free agency. It's always hard for me to look at like what did they just do and
then just ex out that position and say they won't do it again. They won't add to it when and
especially in the secondary. So that's where I'm at quarterback safety there. The value play
of the week brought to you by Wendy's is Mansour DeLine hometown man. You said it's plus 650.
Plus 650 on draft Kings. So the other angle with DeLine, I don't know what your
comfortability here is, Kyle, like sometimes an NFL draft betting, it doesn't feel good to lay
like minus 200, minus 250, minus 300. But if this information-based market, sometimes there's
still value even at these long odds. If you don't want to worry about any of that stuff,
I know that there was some steam on your mom McCoy out of Tennessee. Then we have a lot of people
like Shreger and others saying he ran the 45, he tested fine, but his positional drills weren't
great, which makes sense off in ACL, the change of direction type stuff isn't going to always be
clean. And then you have several reporters basically saying like there are teams that don't have
them on their board or there's teams that will ding him like half of a round of value because of
his knee issue. So all that to say is if you don't want to mess with any of this stuff and just take
delaying to be the first corner, I'm really kicking myself. We could have taken it like minus 115
like a month ago. We didn't. If you want to take it at minus 200 or minus 225, I still think that's
fine personally. Yeah, on draft Kings, I'm looking at it right now. It's minus 360. So if you can
find some minus minus 250s out there, I'm sure there's some other books that you could find it.
I'm down with that. I really, I wanted to put him with the Saints. There's an LSU connection
there too. They did their homework at that position that Saints are next to eight. I feel like they
can go in a lot of different directions here. Ruben Bain is technically the betting favorite at
plus 350, but which just means nobody knows what the Saints are going to do. Correct.
They've met with a bunch of different players. Carnal Tate. They met with McCuy lemon. Delayne,
they had in a local visit, a top 30 visit. Lots of different areas that you could go here.
Like I would have, if I didn't have Delayne here, I would have thought about him at eight.
What do you got? I threw a curveball here.
I'm following the late rise of Jordan Tyson. I wish we were doing this show after his workout,
which is later today. If you're listening on Friday, he's going to do workout for teams.
I don't know if he's going to run a time for 40 or anything, but like do positional drills,
and hopefully just show he's healthy. There have been multiple people in the reporting space coming
out saying, Jordan Tyson is likely rising in terms of being a wide receiver too on a lot of boards.
It's going to be variable. After that, some people will have a little more Cooper next,
or then McCuy lemon, or whatever, but there is some steam on Jordan Tyson here. I think he's
in play at eight if things check out. People have made some parallels of Tyler Schutt coming out
last year. He had some medical issues. They still took him. Jordan Tyson, sure he's got medical
issues. Maybe those are overblown. The Saints might take a risk here and pair him with Chris
Alavi, which I would love. I do have him as the pick in this mock. I know you have wide receiver
too, which is very fun. I think there is potential value for these guys to be at this spot. I like
your call. I'm interested. The question we don't know is how they order these guys on their board,
but I'll let you share yours. I have Jordan Tyson. I have McCuy lemon who they've met with. They've
had a private workout. Tyson had a workout with them too. It seems like they're doing their homework
on selecting one of these guys. That's why I'd rather go this direction than Ruben Bane. It could
be wrong, but we took McCuy lemon to go in the top 10. It actually has gone the opposite direction
recently on some books, but I still feel strong that he's in play for a couple of these teams.
Commanders, Saints, Chiefs, he's all in play. He's also in play for a team that wants to trade up
if they want to. I think the dolphins at 11 are also in play, but I just look at what this team
has allocated for the wide receiver position. You don't spend this many six top 30 visits
on legit wide receivers. It's not like they're just getting a bunch of round six and seven guys.
So if you can find a market that says them taking a wide receiver, a lot of these teams in the top
10, if you go searching for it, they won't show those teams because it's a limited pool of players
where you get down a little bit later or some of these other teams. It's like, oh, well,
the Bills could go in a bunch of different directions with their first pick or, you know,
there's just other teams like the Eagles. It's like, oh, well, they could do three or four different
things. I feel pretty good about wide receiver to the Saints. I'm also a sucker for Kellin Moore
and any player he puts in the slot because they become elite, CDLAM, Keenan Allen, Devonta Smith.
Last year, Jawan Johnson.
To Jawanson, we had some moments with Jawan about 3,400 on draftings. Oh, man, he always came
through for us. Those were the days. That's what I'm going to have on my tombstone.
Remember when I got 3,400? Remember when I used to get Kate Oton for 2,700? What a time to be alive.
Yeah. All right. Saints, let's go to the chiefs. Another wild card team because
they have the picks to move up. They're also a team that doesn't mind being aggressive because
they're so good. I also feel like there's this thing in the NFL. Maybe it's like this in your
fantasy league where it's like, this team is always good. I don't want to trade with this team.
I don't want to make them better. That's what I always do with Andy and all of our leagues.
I never want to trade with Andy because I don't want him to get better. And so I end up just
Mike and I put our foot down and say, we're not trade with Andy. That's fine.
Stick it to Andy. Stick it to Andy. Not Andy Reed though. He knows what he's doing. Chiefs at 9,
Ruben Bain is the favorite. I think you can go a bunch of directions here. Yeah, they're a tough
team. I do have them taking Ruben Bain. As do I. The earlier sentiment was he'd probably be in
the top five or six picks. And then lately, there's some off the field stuff for portedly teams
or aware of, but also there's the arm length discussion on him. And so most of the guys that I
listened to and trusted said his range probably starts in the seven-ish spot and kind of goes all
the way to like 12 or 13. So somewhere in this window is where I've got Ruben Bain coming off the
board. Chiefs could take a corner. I think they could take the lane if he falls. They obviously
have met with a bunch of the wide receivers. I think that's in play. But I see them investing
in the trenches here with Ruben Bain at 9. Yeah. I mean, wide receiver is kind of what a lot of
people are thrown out there. And it would be really cool to see Tyson or lemon on this team.
It's a fantasy question here. Do you think Rishi Rice is a Kansas City Chief in 2027?
I do not. I don't either. So that affects some of that. At pick 10, we have the Bengals.
The Bengals are funny because you have all these Ohio State players this year that are like
in state. So the Browns or Bengals can call them a local visit. And some of these guys just didn't
didn't go to the Bengals. I just I don't know, but it's just funny when you see the reporting,
where it's like, well, you just assume you're going to go visit the in-state teams. Like if you're
in Texas, you're going to visit the Cowboys, right? Like it's just this is AT&T stating you're going
to go. Some of these guys like, I'm not going to the Bengals. No, I'm good. I don't really want that.
Caleb Downs is the favorite in quotes at plus 285 on Draft King Sportsbook. I don't think he
lasts till there. I don't have in the mock. But this is where you have them. Yeah, I have them here.
I almost feel like I had to have them here just because I didn't put them earlier. And like,
I have it. It got to have it. The trigger thing about, you know, he's not going to be there at 12.
So it's like, well, if I didn't put him earlier with the Giants or something like this is kind
of where the slide has to happens. I mean, they take a defensive player, just look at their defense
last year. That's what everybody's mocking, whether it's Caleb Downs or Mansor Delane or
sunny styles or whoever. They're likely taking defensive player here. And they'll have an opportunity
to take a good player regardless of who it is. So I don't have a strong take personally. I went with
kind of the favorite chalk here. I did give them Caleb Downs and you went with sunny styles.
So we just have our Giants and Bengals pick swapped. Oh, yeah. I didn't even realize that. Yeah.
And styles met with the ball. No, I gave the Giants fun. Oh, Fano. Oh, you gave styles to the
defenders. I so I know that styles met with them. He did his local visit with the Bengals. So he
was like, you know, being a good boy, saying, Hey, I'm going to go see the local football team.
Whenever they go visit the Falcons, I just like, man, I'm sure that they think this is just a
crap fest. That's just what is this? Why am I visiting this team? So just to recap, my top 10 and
the need to do your top 10 before we go to the next part. I have Mendoza, Bailey, Reese, love,
Downs, Tate, Delane, Lemon, Big Rubin, Bane and sunny styles. All right. We've got the same top four.
So at the fifth pick, I have Spencer Fano, Cardinal Tate, then sunny styles. Seventh, eighth,
I have Jordan Tyson, Rubin Bane at nine to the chiefs and Caleb Downs 10th to the Bengals.
Well, let's say quick break and then we'll keep going.

Ah, the dolphins at 11. I have a friend, shout out to my friend Travis, who's a dolphins fan.
And I like when I checked in with him recently about it, he's like, dude, I don't know we're doing.
I have no, he's like, most of like my adulthood has been like, I don't know what the plan is
and where we're going here. At least with Mike McDaniel, you could say, this is fun.
Because this is a fun team you get to root for. A lot of question marks. The dolphins at 11,
they also pick again at pick 30. They have the Broncos pick. I have Jordan Tyson going here.
Do you feel like this is one of the spots if they don't take a white receiver here, they're taking
one at 30? I think that's probably the case or more later. It's interesting with this
front office, which I had to remind myself like last week or two weeks ago, this is basically the
Packers. You think about a new head coach and a coaching staff and front office is a brand new GM,
so this will be his first ever selection as a GM. But if you think about what the Packers have
always prioritized, it's the athletic testing, high upside type guys. And for years, we were begging
them to take a white receiver for Aaron Rodgers. They just said, no, we're never going to do it.
We'll get them on day two. And then they finally did it last year. That's cool. And we know how that
went, at least as now. But all that to say is I don't have them taking a white receiver because
of that kind of Packers, the traits. Maybe that's just chasing something that's not real, but I haven't
taken Mansor Delayne. I think he goes on the top 10, but I didn't have a spot for him. So it was
almost like he asked to stop the slide here. If he would make it to the Cowboys at 12, I think they
would sprint the card in Mansor Delayne. But I have the Dolphin's taking him here, highly,
highly athletic testing in terms of his combat and everything. So this is a player that fits what
historically the Packers front office has looked for. And obviously they need corner help. So I
haven't taken Delayne. Yep. I have Jordan Tyson here as the wider see they're going to take.
Did you look at their depth chart and just say to yourself, man, you know, maybe they already got
some guys there. They got two, two. They have Terrace Marshall Jr. Like they're already got,
they're already set. They don't need a wide receiver. I'm sure they've had like a couple of
like little like meetings like, I don't know, Zoom calls from the wide receiver room. And they're
like, oh, boys, we got this. We got this room. They're like, none of you guys are making the team.
I don't know if I ever remember seeing a wide receiver depth chart. This bad entering the NFL draft.
Like there's teams obviously that have like a guy and like nobody else. They don't have anybody.
It is truly baffling. It's bad. The Cowboys are at 12. There's a lot of talking about them moving
up and you mentioned that earlier. They have a pick later on too. I found this out. So the Cowboys
currently have 10 top 30 visits confirmed for the cornerback position. Okay. If you add safety in,
it's like another four or five. So they have almost 15. They almost have half of their visits
to secondary guys. And I looked this up over last decade. The only other team to have over 10 top
30 visits for the cornerback position is the Dallas Cowboys in 2017. So
you mentioned Elaine. If he's on the board, he'd be there.
Germain McCoy. You brought him up earlier of Tennessee wild card. Could slide in the draft.
Jerry could also be like, he's really good. He's awesome. I don't care. He's recovered.
So I think they're going to go cornerback or safety here. Yeah. The interesting thing about McCoy
is there's been some local reporters out of Dallas suggesting that he is not on their
board. Who knows? That could be smoke or that could be real. I did not have McCoy going here
just in the thought process of like, hey, if this medical stuff is real, he might slide a little
bit. And last year, it seemed impossible. I forget his name. Will Johnson in the corner out of
Michigan. That went to the Cardinals in the second round. Right. It felt impossible for him not to
be a first round pick. I don't think the slide will be that drastic. But we did tested the
combine, right? Germain McCoy. No, he did a private workout. That's it wasn't ready for the combine.
Okay. That's what it was. And so he ran the 40 and tested very well. But that's what I was saying.
His positional drills reportedly did not go great. He seemed like not totally backing ACL,
which is not necessarily shocking for the change direction dynamic stuff. So A team will take him
at some point, I think, in the teens. But that's what I was saying with the delaying bit. I just
feel so confident. Delain is going to be the first guy taken at corner that because of the medical
issues with his knee with Germain McCoy. I think he slides further than this personally. And I'll
bring up later an angle that I like at the corner back market at a different selection. But for
this one, you have McCoy. I have Dylan Deneman, the safety out of Oregon. Admittedly, I don't
feel great about this one. It's just more just a they need defense. He's he tested out of out of
this world. Then if all seems to love him, but at the same time, safety is generally tend to
fall. So this will be a long shot one. But again, I wanted to put some to different here just to
get a little bit off the board. So they pick at 12 and they pick at 20. When I was doing my full
mock draft at 20, I did give them a safety. It was a manual McNeil Warren out of Toledo. So I
think we're in the same thought process that it's secondary. This is where they're going to go.
Do they want to move up? Because I mean, I'll give them some credit. They are throwing some
haymakers. I mean, they met with our Valries. They met with sunny styles. They met with Caleb
Downs. They met with Delane. And it's possible. They can't move up none of them. We're going to be there.
Right. So the Rams are next. And I love like in doing all this research for the visits. I love that
there are teams that sit there and go, wait, we don't have to do any of this stuff. Like we don't
have to throw any of these puff pieces or like get our fans excited about here's we're going to
meet. We're not going to tell anyone we're doing. And we can back it up because we're a good
organization. So the Rams veiled in secrecy. No idea. Love it. I went with McNeil. I'm in here.
That feels like a chalky square pick. But Shreggar has connections to McVeigh and the Rams.
And that's who he put. So I literally totally disclosure said that's what he did. I'm doing that too.
And there's so much smoke around like they ran on maybe they ran on AJ Brown. They discussed
the amounts of Adams trade, Puka, whatever off the off the field stuff. Like I think they take a
wider seer. Mekai lemon is tough as nails. Like that historically is kind of what McVeigh is looking
for. So I think Mekai lemon is my selection here for the Rams. There is a market I'm looking at it
right now on draft Kings sports book where you can figure out the Rams position of their first
drafted player. So I don't love taking a long shot. Because you said it like it could be lemon.
It could be Tyson, whoever. White receivers at minus 135. But next up is offensive lineman at plus
300. Like so in your draft right so far you just had a phono go fifth overall and I just took him
13th overall. It seems to me like there's value on the board for the offensive line position. So
that's actually how I would bet this. If I were with the Rams, just say, hey, best offensive lineman
plus 300. See if it goes there with their first position. I could see it. Okay. Thought so thought
that that was well thought out. Considering we don't know anything about this team. Thought so.
Ravens at 14. Usually we don't get them on this episode. They don't usually pick here.
A really hard team for me. I like I wanted to go in a couple different directions. It's a new
coaching regime. So we have to kind of like take what we think the Ravens have always done. Yes,
it's a lot of the same like GM stuff. But it's like, okay, this team is built around Jesse Mentor.
Declan Doyle who is the new offensive coordinator comes over from Chicago. I'm interested in what
the Ravens are going to do. But I think you can go a bunch of different directions. Oh, yours is
fun. So I didn't have my winnow going earlier. I have the slide stopping here at 14. I don't know
what it is about the Ravens man. Like every draft they just get that guy that like shouldn't be
on the board that falls to them. And they're like, okay, best player available. Let's just take good
football players. And that would fit here with Maui Noah. So in my exercise where I did a different
thing in the top 10. I wanted to see what would happen. And then I had him falling here. So 14th,
I have Maui Noah. I have Kenyan Sadiq, which is definitely a fun pick. Tight end. Right now it's
offensive line. Wide receiver. And then tight end up plus 350. It definitely would not bet that.
But I think, you know, a team that's traditionally been built with two tight end sets.
It's also where Declan Doyle has just come from, which is two tight end sets with the Bears,
you know, Colcomat. They just took a highly drafted tight end. So he comes from that like
school of thought or at least followed it with Ben Johnson. And then you look at the contract
situation. I mean, Andrews could be gone in the near future. And he's getting older. They also
lost Charlie Kohler. And they and Isaiah likely in the same off season. So there is this rebuilding
thing for a team that also lost Patrick Ricard, like they lost Tyler Linderbaum, like the the
identity of this team being like this tough heavy, you know, 12 personnel team. Are they going
to stay with that? Are they going to go a different direction? I've seen wide receiver here,
which would be very interesting if they took Tyson. I want the Ravens to take a wide receiver
tight in here for fantasy purposes. So there's a little bit of projecting in there. I do think
offensive line it. If there's value with Fano Maui go up Maui Noah or like Kaden Proctor
out of Alabama's like all those guys are on the board here. But Sedeek would be a fun Raven.
That would be very, very fun. Yeah, it's I almost have to like retrain my brain like this is not
the Harball team. I keep thinking of it as that, right? But it's they got the kids, you know, Kyle
at a at very important positions with head coach here in and deckland oil is very young.
It's fun. It's going to be a brand new look Ravens team. I'm excited to see how it unfolds.
We have the Buccaneers at 15. A team Jason Light their general manager has been pretty astute.
I would say like probably some of the better. Saviour moves up the last, you know, five years
of just looking at like how you've constructed a roster, how they've held it together. They're
also in a terrible division. So that's part of it. I went with cornerback here. It's kind of like
best cornerback available or who on their board do they want to address. So I have Avion Terrell
which is AJ Terrell's brother Falcons great cornerback. But I don't feel great about it.
That would be a hot take because he's a guy that a lot of people have pegged to slide to the back
of the first or even into the second. But the Bucks surprised us last year and maybe they do it
again. I have them taking I'm going to mess this up Vega Aione. I should know this is a Penn State
fan. No, that's that's what me and my my buds call him. Oh, yeah, obviously. But the massive
interior offensive lineman out of Penn State. Very fun player man. That coaching staff a couple
years ago full sick. They would put him in the slot and they would motion him down on a run play
to like crack block of edge or a linebacker. Like it was just brutal. Does he this 300 plus
pound man just destroying another human being. But they kind of quietly dealt with a huge number
of offensive lineman trees last year. I wonder if that plays into them. But like you said,
they're a team that were in the dark on because they don't really have a traditional
visit in draft structure. So he's highly athletic. Jason Lake historically is drafted that.
That's where I haven't gone. Yeah, they're they're a tough team to figure out. So was Aione.
That's what I'm going to call them. The offensive lineman. Did was he part of that Tyler Warren group
where it's like he's they're pulling him and then I was just thinking like in my head of like
this huge pulling guard and then a tight end running behind him. Dude, the office two years ago
so weird because they had the I don't say weird. More fun. That's how I put it with the Warren
quarterback. Wildcat stuff. There was also a couple plays where they would put Aione on the outside
and throw him a screen pass. Heck yeah. And like you look at these like 200 pound corners trying to
tackle the sky. It's like good luck. So he's fun. Highly athletic. A reporter that you're really
good. Good dude. I think he's going to go somewhere in the strange. He's commonly mocked to the
Ravens, which I could see, but like I said, I went a little different here. In my full mock,
I had him going a little bit late. I had him going to the Steelers at 21, but he's right around
the spot. For what it's worth, Daniel Jeremiah, who has connections with the chargers has said,
if he falls to the chargers, like they'll likely run the card in. Well, he went the pick before in
my obviously really, really good mock. So no, no chance. Let's finish out right here with the Jets
at 16. We think that if they don't take a wide receiver at two, we're going to take, you know,
Reese or Bailey, then we can get, whoa, we both went weird and we both both went weird in the same
direction. I'm genuinely shocked here because I think the wide receiver leftover, if it's not
Tyson lemon, is Omar Cooper Jr. who did meet with him. But I chose a different wide receiver
met with him and so did you. Dude, I love this. This is fun. We both landed on big Denzel,
Denzel Boston as the pick at 16. It's weird. Like, there was that report from Tony Pauline. We talked
about it last week. The Jets like Omar Cooper, but they don't like him enough to take him here. They'd
only take him at 33. It's just weird. Like, if you like him, you take him. It's like quarterback. Like,
we like him, but like we don't like him that much. We like him more like pick 20, not like pick 10.
Yeah, it's like if you like the guy you're taking him. Report the Omar Cooper Jr. is not making
it to 33. So I could see him being the selection here. But I also thought it was interesting. Like,
there's a lot of buzz on Denzel Boston to go in the first round. Like Shreger has mentioned,
we could see six. He said we could see six before 25, which would be like
totally rare. But just speaks to like, if you see a run on wide receiver, it could happen.
And I could see the set, the Jets saying we want to get ahead of it. Let's take our guy here.
And they have met with Boston. Reportedly went well. Like, I could see it. So I am with you.
I have the wild card here of Denzel Boston. Sixteenth, which would be above consensus. I also
wanted to point out that I think Chris Johnson, the quarterback, is in play for the Jets. He's
in Diego State Aztec. That's the guy. That's the guy. He could be in play at 33 for them. Met with
them. But I thought it was interesting this past week. Like, there was so much buzz on him to go
in the first round. We ended up taking that as an official bet for him to be a first round pick.
And I also wanted to point out for folks, if you can find like a super, super long shot,
wager on Chris Johnson to be the second cornerback taken, we gave that out as like an unofficial
hey, I'm putting five bucks on this kind of thing. I got it at 30 to one on, I think it was
fanatics. The rationale here is basically the later you get the NFL draft, you know, you think
about like the 20s. Weird stuff can happen. Anything can happen. And if the McCoy knee injury is
a factor for teams. And if he does happen to fall into this range and all of a sudden, Chris
Johnson's a player that's in play somewhere in the mid 20s. At that point, these odds are so far
off of the range of outcomes that could happen that I think playing him as the second corner is
at least worth a sprinkle if you can get long odds. Yeah, would you say 20 to 20 to one? Yeah,
I would do that. Five bucks. Yeah, I know. Yeah, it's 10 to one right now in DK. Oh, we got,
I got 30 to one. Oh, sorry, I got to hit the button.
Moving the lines, which, you know, we, I have Jermon McCoy going. So this bet's a losing bet
in my mock. No, I think McCoy is the most likely. My point is just like if the knee is an issue
and McCoy slides to the mid to late 20s, then all bets are off. Yeah. So that's going to do our
top 16. We will get to post this. Bet's will get to post a betting mock draft. I do want to give
you a heads up before I hit this button and bet signs us off. Next week, our episode will come out
later on Friday. We don't, we usually end up recording the day before. Obviously, that would be
stupid to do. We want to make sure we react to the first round on the NFL draft. We'll also talk
more about day two and day three. So next week's episode will come out a little bit later on
Friday. So don't get mad at us. Who should they get mad at? Uh, Jeremy and Josh. Yep.
Corporate just stick it to them. Sign us off. Do that. That episode next week's going to be fun
because this is our last show before the NFL draft. So our mock today probably looks dumb
in a week and we'll get to talk about it next Friday. React the round one. Always a good time.
We'll catch you guys next week. Enjoy the weekend. Enjoy the NFL draft. We'll see you next Friday.
