I was just starting It was the game like your start. I did not care for your total listen to this. Oh tall It's not just another fantasy football league. Thank you. This is a fantasy football league where you're going to play with other Footclam members meaning You know they're like minded. They've got a good sense of humor They know what they're doing. They're fun that but also it's challenging like you you don't have um, you know Any schlub in that league and so you got a you got a word to see what's talking about right no no We don't want no slubs. Yes It wasn't even slub Mike was scrubbed

5:19Oh, that's the That's too far what is happening this morning that's too far. Let's support it. You're with Mike on this. Yeah All right. Have you heard a joke on this show before it's a rhyme and rarely are we accurate with the I mean, oh my god. We don't try to be on the nose if you want another fantasy football league go to megaloble.com That's it quick question of the day from bright and can you guys incorporate more updates from your legal record We can we it's funny we get asked this all the time and so I guess we should have done that more But it was one of those no one really wants to talk about the league of record this year. Yeah, yeah, why I mean it I don't really want to talk about it Jay I mean, let's talk about me being the champ last year. Let's just focus on Let's play a game where we go in a circle and name all the players already have on my team Let's let's make you start. Oh, no, no, no, let me start because it's easy Malik neighbors I'm done no no no in your team. Yeah, we're going in it. We're talking about my team and the players I have on my team So you start I refuse. Yeah, okay. Nobody wants to play this game. No, we just think of the six best players in the league and then just put them on my team

6:25Um, no, we I mean we love we talked about it a lot. We had al and I face off in a championship game Uh, a couple of years ago Mike had his year of Mike the year before that we had the betrayal by two-thirds of the of the doosters alley that would be Papa Josh and then the quiet one that was totally guilty that puts his hands up like he's under arrest right now um, falsely accused but luckily I won that title and it was no big deal So there you go. Oh, we give you guys updates We just don't want to overwhelm the show with like our personal league, but I know that you guys get excited about our competitiveness and the times we get a mock one another and Jason eventually will have a player on his team actually play Yeah, that'll be a neighbor's combo right now. Yeah, I lost Jonathan Taylor to the lottery uh, traded away the artist formerly known as Travis ETN Yeah, I have Malik neighbors who might not play and I had just Jacobs as my other keeper says it's uh toy toy seven boys

7:26I'm so excited to be able to host this mock draft today Yeah, it's gonna go well for you News and notes from around the league The Raiders of name Kirk cousins as the teams week one starter Well, that's better than the Falcons The Falcons have what are we even doing here? We're we're days away from like Like they are currently practicing for week one. We're at the point where training camps are over the you know Inter team scrimmages are over they are preparing sub-sert for week one But they don't know who their quarterback is Because they they won't have I don't know I don't know like I know we've started our our week one rank He's a little bit like behind the scenes, but we haven't I haven't really been diving into the match I don't know who the Falcons play week one, but I'm taking the other team Sorry, they it's rare to have They're at Pittsburgh. Yep, sure great. They could have been anywhere. It's very rare to name a starting quarterback after September first

8:31This year we have cousins the last two years nobody did that before that it was the Cardinals Yeah, not a serious organization makes sense. It was a Trabisky and the Steelers on September 6th of 2022 To ride Taylor 2021 Yeah, I'm not seeing like a string of all pros getting named starters. Yeah, I think there is there is Nathan Peterman There's a direct correlation with naming your starter this late and having a horrifically bad year Clint kubiak says he's optimistic ashen genty will play week one against the dolphins. I there's so much whispers in the bushes about Mike Washington junior having a big role. Where are you guys with that? I think there's been enough smoke Certain things said by kubiak where I'm not back to where I started where I started when kubiak came here as I was like full out on genty. I thought it would be a time sharing what they didn't see exactly what you saw coming off a super bowl where you took

9:32Ken bone locker and you put them behind Charbonne I'm not back to that place, but I do think that Mike Washington junior what he's done in preseason what he's done in camp And with the ability like if they have a player in Mike Washington, which I was very skeptical of um Then they will they will rest genty more with it. So I have I've moved the needle a little bit. I think I've got I think I've got Mike Washington up to like 140 carries somewhere around there, which is not a not a ton But it's uh, it's certainly not the situation where I view ashen genty as what christian McCaffrey was last year like heavens back at practice some Wednesday Okay How about hold on wait hold on we're getting breaking news Mike heavens has left practice I'm just assuming yeah, no you're you're right. I haven't heard anything Mike heavens will be back in the news tomorrow. Yeah But he's practicing so that is that is good. That is good

10:33Emica a big bull Working off to the side projected to be ready for week one the world would like us to clarify that it was a toast brain not turf toe He seems I mean I've watched a lot of I don't think we know We don't we don't really know what's going on they have been they have not said turf toe. That's all I'm reporting The team is not the team has said sprained toe not turf toe There is a difference uh he is still trying to Basically be able to cut on that foot on that toe He's been going through all the motions this week trying to strengthen that see if he's ready for week one You know It yeah, it's our medical guy Matthew Betz certified PT is reminding us turf toe is a sprain of the big toe Yeah, you can't turf toe the small ones right that's why I know that they're just saying it's a sprained toe It could it could still be turf toe. Yeah, it's which toe is it and it's because of the recovery and the struggles with it

11:35Definitely feels like turt. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I um I think we hope to see him out there in week one and maybe he ends up dropping an ADP Panthers coach Dave canals says he's optimistic john in the Brooks will play in week one. Oh general sorn is general sorn is reporting for duty He's trying to keep him out. How how do you guys get your third line folder? How do you guys project the john in the Brooks uh chew about week one fifty-fifle and who gets the first care Chuba yeah, I think Chuba I bet this just I work probably hot hand the entire season Well, I Brooks should have a hotter hand. I think that's Chuba's had very few hot hands in the story I mean you you this is a warm-handed running back The fantasy football drafters you're making your choice of of who you think it will be but I think it will be very frustrating back and forth of They've been a good running team. I mean they the guests they they can have a very good running scheme. They have a solid offensive line

12:41But like last year it was I mean it started as Chuba then Rico takes over and then it was hot hand so I just think week to week that's this could be pretty tough if If one of them is seemingly going to take over eventually It probably should be john at the Brooks, but I think it is a I think it's a sketchy Move or a week to week. I don't know that you're gonna be able to really count on either of them any other news No, not at this time Okay, um by the way we wanted to make the falcon do the welcome in today knowing my voice. It's a little weak but Like but we love you for clean. Yeah, I mean the gag just would have fallen flatter somehow Blair all right, we're gonna take a quick break An early break and then we'll jump into our final mock draft of the season Hey sports fans starting Tuesday September 8th it's super sports week on paramount plus first

14:56The fantasy footballers mock draft All right our final mock draft Jason at the one spot mic at the five spot. I'm at nine It's a 12 team mock one quarterback two running back to wide receivers one tied in one flex four bench Oh Way we go j as I make your pick oh wow. Oh wow the world here at the one oh Jock wow take Jimier Gibbs have some courage Maybe I'll get sailor Jerry at the end just kidding. He's just a reason to not draft anyone other than Gibbs with the 101 also known as The player Andy gets to draft in the League of record Uh on Monday I have I have heard from a lot of people. I mean McCaffrey's going at 104 right now Yeah, Gibbs is fine. Bejohn chase McCaffrey, but I have heard a lot of back and forth from people nervous about taking McCaffrey That's yeah, but the nerve sure there tells us all this time. Yeah, yeah, I have I have been one of those people where I'm

15:59I am still a little hesitant when there's a tie breaking like right now he went number four for me He would probably go you know around seven. I would take j as in an almond raw over Over McCaffrey just because of those fears, but I mean if you're trying to win a championship and You know looking for the highest possible upside. Yeah, it's usually Christian McCaffrey Mike you're on the clock. All right, so the we talked a little bit about Puka in his situation yesterday We don't have clarity as of this point. Yeah, it seems like Puka will be playing uh, you know week one I just there was a Just a promo video for the Rams 49ers getting ready for the Australia game And Puka's heavily featured in in said video So the NFL at least is still putting that material out Uh, but I'm gonna I'm gonna try something a little bit different here

17:03I think James Cook is an elite running back And I'm gonna take him here Over the wide receivers And see what my team see if I like what happens with the team on the way back I mean we just did the draft of offenses and obviously the bills are one of those top five elite Offenses that you want pieces of and cook will score it on a touch. Yes With Mike on the clock I knew that there was a five pack of guys maybe six that I I was into it. This one's interesting Cook Puka Jonathan Taylor and then HM oh man. I want to wait and I highest of T Look I I just I just want to bang the table one final time before the season starts for Devon HM That there is you sure about that I'm so certain this is why yeah, this is why this is the Third best running back in football in my opinion Oh and What yeah You're saying as a I think as a talent as a versatile I mean, this was the only back that was

18:05What did he say absolutely The most consistent running back last year on a team that was Do you remember the two what are we talking about with the Falcons? two Is a terrible quarterback yeah, and I know he has his Presence to get the ball. Yeah, he loves checking it down. H&N is an elite running back People are underestimating Malik wellis and this offense Chris Bell is going to be there from day one And H&N is is going to be worthy of this pick at the end of the year. Are you saying that If you were an NFL GM you would number three you would take him number three number three So you'd take him ahead of Cook Hampton and Gentie yes, and cook yes, Jonathan Taylor. I think he's the third best all around running back in football All right I have unfortunately a weird selection because of that I thought I'd get almond raw or JSN Now I have to choose between them. So I'll just take Jackson Smith and jigg but at 109 Yeah, that makes sense, but between him and almond raw

19:08Or I'm sorry it Yeah, I guess it's a J are you still JSN firmly over on no no certainly not not for me with those I do too I think they're in the exact same You know tier I could see it going either way. I mean JSN has far more Target market share of his team, but the offense I think is far better for the lions as far as total points scored on the season and the way that they Play um, so yeah, I mean I'm fine either way Honestly, I would love to be in Julius spot where she gets to get almond raw st brown at the 10 spot. Yeah, so we got almond raw cd lamb and Kenneth Walker finishing out the first round Good work met honoring Ken Bond Walker to be a first round selection took him ahead of Barclay Yeah, that's right sake one Barclay. You're a second round pick then chase brown Hampton goes to Julia Then Andy Wasting no time in selecting

20:10Justin Jefferson Yeah, I was Jefferson or AJ brown there for me um did not take the pick of genty And at the running back spot I just prefer the JSN Jefferson combo will go uh wide receiver wide receiver So after Jefferson we get ash and genty nico Collins Derek Henry I am back on the clock. I took James Cook uh in the first uh Which I think I mean seeing how the draft board is unfolded That really worked out we went very high T very heavy in the running backs and AJ brown in elite wide receiver one did fall to me As compared to you know, the running backs on the board here would be Kyron Jeremiah love fine players, but getting to start with To elite but like an elite running back in elite wide receiver that feels pretty good. So I'm gonna take AJ brown Then went Josh Allen first quote whoa first quarterback off of the board in the second round I guess baby jick just he needs him some Josh Allen

21:12Kyle takes George pickens davonte smith and then Jason you are back on the clock So this is this is really really interesting to me. There's three players at three different positions that are Kind of a tear break at all of them. I mean, I mean obviously you've got both Brock Bauer's and Tramack pride So I could take the tight end Which here at the two three turn. I feel like is a great value There's also good value with Drake London um, you know, he's been a player. I haven't been as hot on but he started the pooh because of the pooh But he that was also because he was starting the year like near the end of the first round Very beginning of the second round going ahead of you know, it was like You were basically in the my taking London or just in japhson I think we've talked that situation down Enough to where man he's here and then at running back I do think Jeremiah love at the two three turn is totally you're near his floor and you still have crazy upside

22:12But since I've got Gibbs I think I'm gonna go more Hero uh running back. I'll take Drake London and then eighth and I'm doing that so that I can say I got a third round What a value Jason Bauer's oh my goodness Uh, but that that sets me up Gibbs London and Bauer's uh one of each since I do prefer when people talk about you know, what what strategy do you have at the turn? I prefer and I don't always do this but I find that I'm happier when I split my positions at the turn If I go running back running back or wide receiver wide receiver the flexibility I just have to have I don't get any choice of the next 24 picks and I just have to get lucky that the position available is there for me Whereas if I kind of go running back wide receiver take one of each The next time you come back around you you have more flexibility to take what's left on the board All right, so you took Brock Bauer's brooksy takes Kyron so he has started with two running backs then briece hall Then Jeremiah love that puts me back on the clock

23:15Trying to pull up my my rankings here and see who is left at the wide receiver position This is the area where you got to kind of start figuring out are you willing to go on Malik neighbors I had all of my chips in on Malik did not like the press conference of the I'll play when I'm ready. I mean I know he's just you know kind of up there talking openly but I thought I thought we were gonna be ready for week one here mr. Malik neighbors Uh at running back javante Cam scataboo Travis H and junior those that's kind of the top of the 80p list for the running back position uh, but I'm gonna go ahead I'm gonna take Chris Olave to go with AJ Brown so two wide receivers one running back Matthew Bethes right after me takes Malik neighbors Trey McBride follows that up Papa Josh takes Ladma Conkey right in front of Andy because of course this is what

24:15Papa Josh has to do Andy you're on the clock you have two wide receivers got jason and jusson Jefferson Yeah, I mean I get that lad was his my guy but given that he's got two wide receivers I would imagine you're looking not wide Andre Swift I'm taking the other three out of it in the third Yeah, I mean we don't have monon guy to start the season I like the past catching But he's weeks to week yeah, well there's one week until football so No, I think the Andre Swift right now especially early season will be a steal Jameson or sorry javante does go next and rice mcmail and waddle and abuka colston leveling off the board at the 403 and I am going running back again I'm taking jendarian price uh, that's that's really high 80p wise for him I had him flagged to to come to me at the 412 This is where he's gonna go in drafts. He's not going to fall to where his normal 80p is I think people are realizing the situation for a first round back is pretty perfect on a rookie that Could be something special you don't know so I don't I don't mind that at all taking Swift and price there

25:17Yeah, I think you're off to a decent start there are rumors that will hear more about jdarian price on tomorrow's Episode of the show not from me but from somebody else swift and price at running backs js n and jf Forcent as my wide receivers flowers wilson higgins and then mike is back on the clock I am back a j brown and alavi yeah At the running back position scataboo is still there scataboo is starting to Feel j where are you with yeah My risk is starting to feel I think that he is a elite talent. I really do I I think he's a headache for this team and I don't know that harbaugh loves him I think that this is a we do have a clip that just came in I but we haven't been able to watch I got shared in here. It's uh scataboo's talking to k atoms and the headline is scataboo considered retiring After the season ending injury I have I have to watch to get all the full context up in atom scataboo said

26:19He told himself in college that he would retire if suffering a major injury Well, he lied because he suffered a major injury and he is not retired No, I mean, it's not just the injury obviously you've got judkins and scataboo coming off of the injury scataboo on a better timeline And he's he's been doing stuff for a long time. He says he's fully you know We talked to him in New York and he said he was fully good to go You could wait he overflipped on his back flip yada yada. I think I'm more scared of the situation Um on a on a coaching and opportunity standpoint are we scared of naji I'm scared of naggy you you said almost oh okay. I mean I get it. We shouldn't be scared of of the competition there Cam scataboo shouldn't have to be cam scataboo is significantly better than those this a version of naji and tarot Tracy and devon singletary I I would like to have scataboo on my team, but I would like him to be like my running back three

27:20Yeah, okay, so quarterback wise. We're still just jaw-showing off the board baby jick will let you sit in the fact that you did that At the wider seabird position top of 80p would be dj more ternic loren Don't va davante adams is there. Well look we're in the we're in the fourth I don't know that demock draft has has really a Unveiled itself where I've been able to do this Luther burden baby. I will do the finally Finally worked out Luther burden is on the squad. He joins a j brown and chrysalave After I take Luther goes dj more Travis hn junior david mont gummery goes to brooks. He's pretty high t over there jason you're at the turn you are back on the clock Um, we're back on the scataboo conversation. This would be my running back two not my running back three which I would prefer But there is a tear break here It really buck yearving is going to be such a fascinating story this year everything in preseason everything in camp has been that

28:25Kenny gainwell is super involved and is kind of taking the passing work Where while bucke is doing all of the the primary running duties so Um, that'll be interesting to unfold. There's also you know you look at 80p and you see josh jacob's there Obviously, that's not happening. No, but when you see josh jacob's there you've got to ask yourself what you're doing with march on Lloyd Or with the green bay packer run it as a like a good tip of It let josh jacob be the reminder for your your march on Lloyd 80p of because this is a I mean, I don't want to speak for you Jay But it's like we're at the point where someone's probably going to draft march on Lloyd pretty soon So you're at the turn if you were a Lloyd believer you would have to do it right here. I couldn't draft him over scataboo Bucky or I mean Um, some of those guys that you know, we're still betting on a Super fragile guy. I mean, I know the whole injury point. I was talking to Mike Uh, off you know outside of the studio before I was like my top 10 tips and tricks are the things to remember episode

29:30At the end of this year, I'm going to look back at john and brooks and march on Lloyd and Kendra Miller And I'm gonna I'm gonna just gonna see was it like oh, we should have known or hey there is no such thing as a Dripron. I'm gonna take camp scataboo At this point he represents kind of a tier for the rest of the running backs And then at wide receiver I would Take james and Williams like that's who I want to take But I've got Gibbs. I don't want to do the wide receiver running back thing and I'm I'm more and more and more and more and more bullish on davante atoms The old man has been rising to me. So I think uh I think he's going to have A really successful season the only worry I have with atoms is At his age if an injury happens it will be You know, it's always got the peptide protocols in place. I hope so man. I hope so who doesn't Devante atoms james and Williams Tyler war and Roma doonsay all guys add my eye on this round mic you're back on the clock. I

30:34Now I'm down bad in terms of uh just overall strategy As I mean I could keep going with the hero rb build Yeah, basal I mean if I'm taking a runny back looking at it's a bucky Trevo basal toton that I would be taking toton However, Christian was and is still here in round five I would he would be on my bench if I am Drafting him because you have three wide receiver direct. I so I've already filled my two wide receiver spots and the flex position Oh, that is brutal Uh, I had my eye on possibly going Tyler Warren, but Kyle snagged him too you also in the fifth round here have your choice of the quarterback all quarterbacks not in jaw challenge So I do love Lamar This like I'm I'm I'm in a full forgiveness of last year for Lamar. I think he's going to be solid But oh my king he has no idea what he's doing. No, I do

31:36I do. Why don't you tell us I'm taking the butt was because of a j brown was I have a j brown and I can have the drake May a j brown stack I don't feel like I overpaid for drake May And even though I'm still riding with just one running back Yeah, I feel all right with it interesting not even tempted by bucky there huh I told you man. I'm just like I I don't want Bucky I don't want to draft but well you look at this exactly what you're supposed to do when you don't want You look at this point when you're in the middle of the fifth round bucky is Ah, he's about to be on my team, but we'll take a break first Look no one wants to be just another guy not in fantasy and definitely not in your career the good news There's ways to stand out from the competition Southern New Hampshire University has over 200 degree programs You can do online you'll learn from instructors with actual experience in the field not just drawing on whiteboards

Yeah better Betsy I know he went to a good home Well, yeah, I don't know he went to a non-starting home. Yeah, it doesn't matter. I mean that's how he stays safe me Me and Bets are Watson bros so

33:41Quinch on Judkins and Tutan I have three wide receivers. I'm in love with it this spot. I have a quick turn So I'm gonna pull the trigger on buck yearning here and uh, I mean getting swift price buck yearning three four five I have here a wide receivers with json and Jefferson you have a very strong start. I I'm very happy carnell tape Lamar Jackson Trevo Lloyd There you go Ramandre both my both wide receivers. I wanted Made it through what a turn there traviant Henderson and marsh on Lloyd I mean to to stack those two guys together is like In Ramandre what could be Well, I uh, I want you guys to help me decide this pick all right. Uh, it's between A player that I think is gonna have a humongous season and outkick is ADP In Marvin Harrison Jr who uh, you know, it would be a little bit if had of his ADP but in this draft I got a long wait It would be here and Parker Washington who I continue to believe in the drumbeat. I believe in the

34:45The fact that he could be the premier one on this team at this point I'm not worried about Jacobi BTJ I feel like the route tree the utilization is gonna be minimal It'll be big plays and nothing else and so I would see PR versus More upside. Yeah, I mean, I guess I would default to obviously with those two players some of it has to be What do you believe sounds like you believe in both you believe the the bowl case I don't even both for both Both options in which case if you think both are good wide receivers Who's got the better environment? Who's you know, who's on the better offence? I You know that should be an easy one Is that hat doing things to the brain Of you saying which ones the better offense the better offense. I mean Vegas Projections at the very least we did just draft the Or what we believe I know I didn't think Jacksonville belonged in that top 12 right But Arizona's name was not even mentioned Arizona. I believe his third till I understand I just it's a priority of like

35:49Okay, it's it's environment, but I think Marvin Harrison is Very much the better red zone threat. I think he is More secure in the target share than Parker Washington I don't know what's gonna be like in Jacksonville this year And I trust Jacobi Berset to get the ball to him I mean if you saw the numbers if you heard the numbers from the live show I know that was bold predictions episode If Marvin Harrison gets seven or more targets of game his average fantasy points for game is 16.8 So you look at the offense a healthy Marvin Harrison I'm still going I'm going with Marvin. I'm still a believer in Marvin Harrison Marvin Harrison aroma dunes I are two guys that I have kind of I feel like Been an idiot on according to the world because I still think that they're good players and that they're going to show that The reason they were drafted top 10 and NFL's because of that Most people don't believe that which is why you're getting Marvin Harrison in the sixth round. I mean to me What better place alongside Jessin and Jefferson for Marvin Harrison Parker goes next John

36:54Then Brooks Joe burrow mic you're back on the clock man Joe burrow at the 607 two stack with T Higgins Is a tremendous value so I mean Some are not all of our drafts have gone this way the elite quarterbacks. I've been 80 p.w. Is going a bit later. But so it's just a Make sure you're you're fully paying attention while your draft is is going that you don't have you're not just locked into such a plan that you don't even flip over to that quarterback tab Because that is outrageous to me to get burrow there uh Let's see looking at the wider severs There's no one No one really spectacular standing out some I mean terribly Lauren here could Be serve as a huge value I have a shorter turn so I got eight picks in between uh my next one But I don't know what these clowns are gonna do and I don't really want to risk jk dob and so I'm gonna take him here at the 608's Barbie too Yeah, he has my running back to and

37:56He maybe he's not the full season guy for the Denver Broncos. I've mentioned Jonah Coleman kind of He scares me far more than RJ Harvey does but At least be at the beginning of the year. I feel pretty strong that it will be Dobbins Mike Evans goes after that we have a little wide receiver run Mike Evans, Terremick Lauren Michael Wilson goes to Brooks Jason the turn you are up I'm a little sad. I was going to if if cyborg did not pull the trigger there on Terremick Lauren I was gonna do something that I haven't you're gonna go McClure and Daniels. I was gonna go McClure and Daniels Fears that we have in the Washington's love them three-year-old wide receivers Well in the Vante in the seventh round sure I you know the fears we have with the commander's offense are legitimate But at the same time you have to look at the bowl case whenever you're drafting it's kind of we'll be doing more Jane Daniels eat probably probably and I just strategically that would be the move to go for so for me I'm sitting here and I'm like okay, I can take

38:58a quarterback of of my choice but At the turn there's nobody that is like if burrow had got to me Obviously I would have pulled the trigger there. I think there's a tear break to all the rest of them There's no stack that I am especially in love with so I'm gonna take again. I'm gonna look at the bowl case What is the highest upside? Potential outcome for certain players. I'll take Brian Thomas. I don't think that like I don't project him to be the one But obviously we know what he can do on the NFL field He's been a top 10 wide receiver in the past and the best predictor of future success is past success And then I'm stuck here basically feeling like at the turn If I don't take a running back here as my rb3 It's going to be nothing left. I've experienced it in every draft So my hand is forced right now to take a running back and I'm gonna pull the trigger on jalen Warren the question of the Steelers backfield. I know you guys are on the Rico side. I'm on the Warren side. I'm just always on the Rico side. Yes

40:00That's that's a contractual obligation. You might I mean He does pay me well. Yes. No matter where he goes. You're on the Rico side, but uh As a seventh round rb3, you know, you got to take the shot on those ambiguous backfields after so Jason takes jalen Warren. We had a multi quarterbacks go jalen hurts followed by jaden Daniels You know the The players so you just talked Daniels yesterday of players. I'm afraid to be wrong about in the in the fact of over Stating over projecting j daniel's in the seventh round is That's that's truly a ridiculous value baby Jake took rj harvey And then I am back on the clock. It's a pretty easy pick for me here I will take the man the myth the legends. He's recovering from an a seal. I don't care seventh round or Tucker craft come on down baby I've been very anti-yes you're craft in all of my dress the difference between Tucker craft and the fifth and Tucker craft craft in this in the in the

41:06In the seventh was that Tucker crap. Oh, I didn't hear that I heard crack. Um It's massive. I mean and you say well, it's just a couple rounds So that's pretty rough, but you look at like Who you would have been giving up is a roe madunes a Judkins like that's why I can't possibly take craft over those guys that feels like an easy Tucker craft over those two names Well, okay, okay, how about Christian Watson? Okay, that's way exactly But that's my point you would have you would have been taking craft over Over Watson, which I would not do that a couple rounds ago, but here you're taking them over over you know Backups Rico Doudo goes at 706 and then the guy I thought I would easily get in the eighth Alec Pierce goes at 707 taking away from me Harold Fanon and then I went dejon Stribling at the 709 It's what you're gonna have to do for the 49ers tuba Mason Quentin Johnson Josh Downs Blake Horim and then Caleb my my guy I had a

42:06Group of basically Five quarterbacks. I was kind of waiting To decide between Caleb Jaden they both went Uh, I'm trying to decide here. Do I want to just like let the quarterback position go? I still Have some names way later than I'm okay with I mean, there's still Sorry, let's see. I mean back is going that stands out you can stack with percent Feel like I could do that maybe a little bit later Um Man, maybe I don't go either of those positions Me you're you're at the point now. So 123456 so you have seven seven of the 12 teams have their quarterback and the names left is herburt DAC Lawrence If you're in on the upside of dart bonix it this is the hard part of taking the even if you're getting an elite quarterback at a value When I'm seeing Especially you guys like DAC be available in the eighth round. It's that's tough

43:08Yeah, I thought about DAC. I went casey concept shion. I'm going rookie rookie here Stribbling concept shion. It's a strategy. I often employ. I like taking shots at the most talented Highest upside highest target share rookies late in drafts. So struggling concept shion Um, both players. I think we'll have a fantasy impact in year one Sutton golden la porta and mic back on the clock. You have your ones. He's already you're filling out the depth Yeah, we're looking at filling out the team here Uh, I got again eight picks between this one and the next one. Do I possibly risk Someone sniping DK Metcalf in between my next Pick I'll be pretty devastated if it happened, but I think it's probably the best thing to do for my team So whatever you guys do don't draft DK Metcalf. I'm gonna take oh man Bill Bill I'm gonna take the the upside of Bill cross. How much you like Metcalf? So I hope he gets back. Oh my gosh, please

44:09Please, I mean Metcalf is a wider receiver one That he nobody wants to touch which is impossible to believe after last year I mean Do we do we look at the situation of last year where it was air and Rogers It was DK Metcalf The the hugeest or the largest difference would be Mike McCarthy and a different offensive scheme. Do we believe that that will Be the difference between last year's DK Metcalf, which was borderline Unplayable for the majority of the season. Do we think it corrects itself? Yeah, I mean it could But that's not the only change right Michael Pitman joining the team is also a negative for DK Metcalf now pitman's been hurt most of camp if you watched air and Rogers talk about him recently He was he didn't seem very he's like uh, it is what it is He hasn't been here. So he was talking pitman soft seemed like it man He just seemed frustrated about the fact that look we we haven't been able to work on it And this is a player new to the team and you know how iron Rogers gets with like if he can rely on you

45:14Yeah, so with strangers I think I think that cap is a good pick. I'm sitting here going Metcalf or macaillemen Oh, Jay, I'm not taking mecaf I am gonna take macaillemen and Dak Prescott. I like the new bit It's buying yourself one push down pick Dak Prescott cheap Joe burrow a couple rounds later in the eighth. I I love macaillemen is what Andy just talked about he's got struggling he's got conception on The the truth is highly drafted first round wide receivers get on the field usually earlier So I'll take I'll take a shot at a first round NFL wide receiver Yeah Did you want lemon? I just wanted you guys to take DK make it oh because you're sitting here saying how do I pass on macafe? No, no, no, no, no passing on I mean yeah, just how to curiosity and Mike macafe or Josh Jacobs Uh DK macafe okay, just checking Kyle just took Jacobs in the ninth

46:15Okay, okay, whatever man uh at this point Uh Gonna yeah, I need to just set your ninth round pick on fire. That's fine Uh At this point, you know where it's like not everything is is hunky dory Want to peak real quick at the the rookies just turning that little rookie button on jordan Tyson is is there I think that is I do have a lavet but jordan Tyson at this point to go on to my IR is in fact what I'm going to do I'm not gonna So I feel strong that someone would have grabbed him on this turn here So I will I'll take Tyson I'll stash him and hope that When he comes back everything is great Matt calf digs herber I am back on the clock again. I have enough depth at wide receiver or sorry I have lots of depth of wide receiver not as much at running back. There are some names. I really love Trying to figure out what these guys are gonna do, but I wow so we have I have quarterbacks that I'm fine with here I have three teams without a quarterback Yeah, and then most of them have tight ends as well. There's three without tight ends and I have multiple tight ends

47:17I really like at this juncture I think this might be the first mock draft. I kicked those to my final two picks And I'm gonna take I'm gonna go back to back to back rookies I'm taking Chris Bell wide receiver Wow Well, I want to draw attention to you in this final mock draft Stribbling concept young Chris Bell And I'm I'm heavy at the wide receiver position Addison likely nicks can cade people closing out there onesy positions Both likely and can cade were under consideration obviously. I am fascinated with the Chris Bell via Caleb Douglas Competition ready for for Miami Kayla is back he missed all of training camp though. Yes, and while Caleb Douglas they're higher drafted They took him first right Caleb Douglas over Look look at up. I want to be Acquired on that. Oh because of the because of the kicker's back on me To me, it's not a competition Chris Bell is gonna but Caleb Douglas has just been dominating all all offseason every report was great

48:22So I'm just curious how that starts week one does Chris Bell go from not a part of the offense I haven't seen that I saw the one catch that got a lot of variety, but I haven't seen a lot of yeah, there's a lot of a lot of drum beat for him Interesting all right. I'm gonna take John Johnson as my tight end in the form nice in the 10th round here Woody marks goes next B cat takes Jackson dart Oh man dart in the 10th. It's the it's the it's the gamble of the of the quarterback I felt like I got very good value for Drake me in the fifth But then the the scattering of quarterbacks late It's tough it's tough to to know if you did the right thing Jackson dart goes Rashad white goes after that. I am back on the clock Uh my wide receiver crew. I really only have the three So I'm gonna peek at that. We got Jane Reed. We got a soft Michael pitman Wandale is there he should see a bunch of targets

49:24um Man Romeo dobs is the name that stands out, but do I really want AJ Brown and Romeo dobs Here on my team Man, I'm not feeling really strong about any of these wide receivers. So Just I have one more pick after this. I am going to do the thing of Look some you I have my priors. I still believe in them But sometimes you gotta be like maybe I'm I'm not locked in completely on the situation So I'm gonna take Chris Rodriguez. He's on my short list. I figured he would go for sure So in the event maybe I'm wrong about to like you gotta be willing to To do those things and then with the 10th round pick it that's very low investment. Yeah I I think you you have to be open. I love that the way you describe it You've got your priors and you've got your opinions, but You recognize that there's not a hundred percent hit rate on our on anyone's opinions

50:25So the situation to potentially get the You know the more valuable back in Chris Rodriguez and the double the crowns I don't think it will be but it definitely could be yeah, not a bad pick I would have taken him had he gotten to me one day. He'll goes next Aaron Jones And then Romeo dobs was a player. I really wanted to get to me brooks grabs him one pick ahead of me I think at this point in a draft getting the wide receiver to for a really great offense Who they they did pay a significant amount of money they did to Um is a is a good value. So now I'm sitting here looking I'm gonna take one running back one wide receiver. I'm looking for just potential wacky high upside like there's Tyler LG or there maybe you've got a week one starter But I think as the season goes on he gets less and less valuable so I'm at wide receiver I'm between Michael Pittman and Caleb Douglas um You know the shot of the rookie wide receiver for the dolphins or the vet I'm gonna go with the data

51:25Caleb Douglas not being a first-round wide receiver also the dolphins not being a great offense franchise in 2026. I'll take Michael Pittman put a veteran on on my team Um, I feel like going in on a player Aaron Rodgers already doesn't like all right. Yeah, no I like him and I think that he's it isn't it's it's a 10th round pick and so That completed my draft Michael Pittman was my last pick um The eleventh round did start though Jay. Oh, it did it start with Tyler Algier with Brooks. I believe it did No, the other you took a guy You took a guy say nothing Caleb Johnson I would never have hope I would never dream. I would never dare to dream I don't want to get hurt again Jason the people have to know No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, how how strong are your actual real dreams?

52:26They are genuinely so weak. They are they it's but a whisper it's but a whisper It's so deep down and dark and hidden inside that it's some somewhere. It's really bright, but it's so far away But it was enough for me to take him All right, you took Caleb Johnson Tyler Algier goes Uh Kyle takes Keenan Allen, which of course I should have seen that coming Then it is tanked out my final decision. I would look with all this Chris Bell Caleb Douglas talk I mean Malik Washington has been a like he has a veteran I think he is yeah, the key starts the season as the number one Is he good enough to hold on to that position? That's the bet for if you want to draft the rookies But I was between Keenan Allen and Malik Washington here for my final pick I'm just gonna scroll to the wide receivers and double check I mean Xavier worthy Jacobi Lane is a is a fun rookie for Baltimore with upside

53:28But I just I'm gonna take the chance. I'm gonna take the the chance that Malik Washington's like a five six reception per week type of guy Tank bigs we goes Malik. I fields goes to be cat I think That's solid Papa Josh takes Cyrus Allen loves himself some fifth round backups Andy back on the clock Malik Willis As your quarterback one so you you completed the stack the very underrated Chris Bell Malik Willis stack that's right I at Malik Willis is 100% worth it at this like I could have taken Trevor Lawrence Tyler shop Oh, I would have taken Aaron gov Jordan love rock perty I would have taken Trevor Lawrence, but I'd get it you were you're trying you're shooting for the moon taking Malik Willis Jonah Coleman Goes good offense I mean you are a big dolphins sound effect Thank you that was a big that was not a good doll. That was a seal. That was for the San Diego seals

54:29You're gonna try again. I don't I don't I think my voice right now. How about the Falcon? Oh, yeah, I We found Good job is freaking kidding. Don't don't don't talk. I didn't know I had that in me. No, no you that was outstanding leave on a W secret talents What a dolphin sound effect guy. I feel like that added like two points of game to Malik Willis's numbers this year Jonah Coleman Jacobi Lane and then Jaden Reed is the last pick of the draft. Oh my gosh My team I got James Cook JK Dovins Bill Kroski and Krod are my running backs A.J. Brown Crystal Lava Luther Bird and Jordan Tyson will be on the IR and then Malik Washington at wide receiver Tucker craft and Drake may are my onesies. I started with Jameer Gibbs Jalen Warren and Johnson and came scat about running back and then I've got Drake London Devonte Adams Brian Thomas Jr McKayla Mennon Michael Pittman at wide receiver with Brock Bowers and Dacke Prescott at my onesies

57:43Beat reporter. I will not name Cardinals reached agreement Wednesday So I guess it happened yet the agreement happened yesterday with Michael Wilson It will be a three-year extension. He's expected to sign today So we don't have the money. I love that this morning the first thing I read on Twitter this morning was Michael Wilson will bet on himself and not sign an extension with the Cardinals this year So we don't already hear it already. You need already agreed to it Bunch of liars out there. Oh also. Hey, this is really important This is such an important PSA for the footland when you see headlines We talk about it click in find out what the article. Oh my gosh The last situation yesterday. Yes, the last cut or was it just yesterday? Maybe the last couple I forget who it was But now we won't we won't someone put out no, I'm saying the person who wrote the the 32-bowl prediction article Totally normal. We had a bowl prediction. They're fun. They're fun. They're they're great Avenue to explore what could be But that's all it is it's like and a bowl prediction is you're trying to say something that is most likely not going to happen

58:48It's gonna grab attention. It's gonna grab attention Every single yeah, they're all out there like this one talk about a bowl prediction. Marvis finally good There's a bowl prediction not likely but might happen but finally But there's as Michael Wilson sciences agreement this bowl prediction article Every single like blurb news outlet that breaks news all of them grabbed different pieces from this bold news and was like Oh, this player's gonna you know, it's gonna be a one a for uh like corn for Blake Korum or oh there were tons of different examples of this And it's like guys. This is not News or journalism You're getting you just reading a headline and thinking oh my gosh. I am I am so in the note. No, you are hoodwinked Well, and it it's like a double thing because other people write articles about it So it's like two layers deep. Yeah, it's not just that person promoting the bold predictions It would be like I mean, what was one of the bold predictions on our live show? I mean like the marvel one, but I mean if you say something years were uh, what were you two?

59:52I had three don't forget about Ramandre in week two. Oh, yeah quarter two. Oh You did that sir. You did that was that was one of the worst things But like you know, you wouldn't report that as news you wouldn't report Ramandre is going to be injured during this at this time Stamp of a game. Which is something that week two quarter two is so out of bounds for the shit is out of bounds But when we do rap for just a second. I thought maybe I was rooting for you and Caleb Johnson rap Reporting saying it's 47 million guaranteed for Michael Wilson Michael Wilson is a very very brother. He's a very good player. I'm not I'm not dying. You got to pay the tax It's just the wild not he was not good For he was always good. He was not used. He was not productive But will he be productive and used this year? Yeah, big question. Yeah, get that shmoney brother. I mean, this is uh, this is an Alec Pierce money You know what I mean, right? So it's below flowers below pierce

1:00:52But um, but it's also 4747 mean wider receivers make money good for you man I mean, there is still not as much guaranteed as your rookie running back though I just I the only good thing I'm going to say about the gardenals this off season is the fact that they have really Really good pieces on offense When you it is easy to look two years into the future with a quarterback draft pick Like where else would you want to go? Yeah, you have a Laflora. Hey your head coach And then you have you'll have a new GM you have Harrison wheel Wilson McBride and Jeremiah love who could I mean You made the comment about Jeremiah love in the mock draft about where you could I think you were looking out of Jason There there is an absolute world where everybody's an idiot on not taking Jeremiah love in the top eight picks of this draft within three weeks of the season I think that's an actual possibility Cardinals are going to throw the ball to the running back all the time we're gonna be down by a million points and this dude just

1:01:53Six yards every time he touches the football if he's healthy You know Conor's not healthy. Algera has not been a problem for Beijon being a top five back And I think love is maybe a better talent than Beijon is I mean you talked about the preseason scouting coming into the league Jeremiah love You know Mike you've said it he came in as a better prospect. Yeah, he sees my favorite prospect in the recent history Yeah, I think it's um Just remember how fast the NFL changes We we highlighted it when we did our mock draft offense show where you go from top 10 offense to bottom offense I so you can be the worst team in football and have a pretty productive offense that felt Cardinals will do it that felt decently hot take you to me because I I wouldn't have put him above Beijon But I was just look I was just curious what the Felix model said And so the Felix model scored the number one all time was Gibbs then Ezekiel Elliott and then it's Jeremiah love that sounds fine to me

1:02:54That's above then sake one right that's a love it went beijon next and Barclay McAfry is the running out the top six Yeah, so I mean it's just something that these are Every year we have 10 things that about five weeks in the season we go oh, duh That's hot. I think I think love is a decent attention for that so Mike said it big show tomorrow MVP episode and then next week The countdown to football time. It's a time That will be good. Bye.
