You NEED to Listen to This Mock Draft Ahead of Your Own | ESPN Fantasy

0:00I'm Liz Losea, this is Facts vs Feelings, and today's fact is that it's never too late to try something new. Daniel Dopp, that hot sauce episode went so well that the powers that be put us both back in tiny boxes. What do you think about that? I think we either did so well that they were like, we can't ever do that again, or they're like, we need to find something else to help recapture what they did. Which is why you're in a little box. I'm in a little box. And I think we're here to do a mock in a box. We are doing a mock in a box. It is a 12 team, 1 point PPR. We're only drafting three bench spots because we want to keep things moving and feel like that gives folks enough of an idea of depth. But last time you guys like the mocks, so we brought it back and because you called the voicemail line with such a plum, we got so many voicemails. We're going to do a special bonus episode where we answer a ton of your voicemails. That'll be out later. But right now we wanted to just focus on the mock and make sure you keep an eye out for the bonus mailbag episode, which was totally inspired and produced just for our listeners.

1:11Absolutely cannot wait for that episode. Liz is going to be a very good one excited about that. But let's get into our mock draft here today. Who we kicking off within this mock draft. Do we know who's in this thing? We do know there's 12 people. In fact, Kyle Soppy is going to kick us off. And he did indeed do that with who is it? Be Jean Robinson. Jean Robinson. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Jean Jamir, Jamar Chase. And then you're on the clock here with the fourth overall pick, literally chalk. This is the way that every draft has gone so far. Which direction are you going? I went with Jackson Smith in Jigba. I would have taken Jamar Chase, but our guy focused chat expert Eric Moody picked Jamar Chase. And you and I have both talked about how we have JSN just a little bit above Puka because we don't know if any disciplinary action is going to come Puka's way. Very interested to see Wow James Cook comes off the board before Jonathan Taylor and Christian McCaffrey, which is actually where I have him ranked as RB three. Are you in on that Liz?

2:21Absolutely you and I have him in the same spot. We both talked about it. I don't think that CMC ordered Jonathan Taylor is going to finish the season if James Cook gets hurt. Maybe some bad luck. But if CMC or Jonathan Taylor were to miss time. Well, I should have seen that coming. I think the same thing. I'm on the clock right now and I've got Christian McCaffrey and I'm on Ross Saint Brown staring me in the face. And I have been preaching it all season. I'm going to continue to pass on CMC and go with the super set of our on Ross Saint Brown. That's right, girl. So now we got three picks until we get to the end of the turn. CD lamb comes off the boards were buddy Kevin Paul suffer. And now I'm going to be in a spot after taking I'm on Ross Saint Brown Liz. We're probably going to look at going with a running back here has anything changed with the way that you've been approaching your mock drafts over the last little bit as we get to the final push of draft season. I have found myself more willing to draft say Juan Barkley. I think in a year that the Eagles are dealing with a passing game transition. There might be more emphasis on the ground game and even though Barkley disappointed based on his 80 p in 2025. He did still finish inside the top 15 overall fantasy producers at the position. So I think that he offers a nice floor.

3:38Yeah, I'm with you on that. All right, Liz, we're through the first round. I'm going to read it off. Let me know if there's anything here that stands out to you. But John Roberts and Jameer gives Jamar chase, JS and Puka James Cook, Jonathan Taylor, Almanor Ross Saint Brown, CD Lamb, Christian McCaffrey, Justin Jefferson and Chase Brown at the 12 spot. That is your first round. Anything stand out to you about that? Well, I make my pick here in the second. I think it's interesting that Chase Brown is going above say Juan Barkley whose floor I just talked about above Devon H. Ann who does not have the most optimal situation as we've talked about all summer in Miami, but does have such breakaway talent that it's hard to completely ignore him. I might have said this previously, but it just bears reiterating last season 23% of a chance carries came against a loaded boxes and he still averaged six yards per touch. So obviously a dynamic weapon both by the ground and through the air. And then Jeremiah love that high ankle sprain issue is causing him to fall a little bit.

4:44And I hope we'll see if this becomes a spoiler raising the stock of Tyler Alger. Yeah, we'll see what happens with that one definitely something to monitor though as we keep getting closer to week one second round. So Juan Barkley Devon H. Ann Jeremiah love as you just stated I then excuse me we had asked in genty after that and I took my guy Oh, Mari and Hampton. I've been pounded the table for him as the RB one in this Mike McDaniel offense love him to be able to pair with Amon Ross, Hey Brown who gives me a really safe floor at the White receiver spot. And after that AJ Brown Kenneth Walker the third Brock Bowers the first tight end comes off the boards were producers Zach in the second Derek Henry goes to you Liz Lose. You went with the old king. I did I really do like the Ravens schedule here I am warming up to the idea of this new offense. Declan Doyle is saying all of the right things I'm anticipating a bounce back season for Lamar so there's no reason to believe that Henry won't continue to hold the incredibly high floor that he has for so many seasons.

5:47Quick other note you know we talked about Jeremiah love and how his ankle issue was causing him to slip a little interesting that the very next pick who went to Pulse of her was asked in genty the other potentially banged up running back both of those guys going in like what the middle ish of the second round. Yeah, high ankle sprains is one of those things that does give me a little bit of pause on running backs because it feels like one of those things you just sort of have to deal with all season I'm not sure how quickly it gets healthy when you listen to people talk about the length of the injury of a high ankle sprain I'm not a scientist or a doctor or any of those things but it gives me a little. But you are you are experienced and I like to think of the high ankle sprains as a cranberry injury in that they linger. I love you you're so great that was no that was good that was good yes did you have to have to you have to okay can you pick now that we're at this point I love you all right we finish out the second round dare canary breeze hall drake London

6:52ankle Collins third round. Javante Williams Chris Olabe Kyrin Williams what are you doing here in the third list. I decided to do something I haven't done all draft season and that select tray McBride I've usually been waiting for Tyler Warren or Colston Loveland who I've talked endlessly about but I feel really good with Derek Henry and Jackson Smith and Jigba that I decided to lock up that island position early I didn't love the rest of the quarter of the rest of the running backs that were presenting to me and I feel like I can get something of value on the turn so no need to reach past who I think will dominate the position once again in 26. I like that I like that call is being able to grab someone also this is part of why we do mock drafts maybe do something a little bit see if you like the way the strategy plays out before you get into the real draft after you had tray McBride it was Rishi Rice gear Wilson and then Josh Allen first quarterback off the board I'm on the clock with George Pickens Malik neighbors Travis H and Devante Smith I'm going to go down the board a little bit and get my guy that I have as

7:56a receiver 12 this year because if I do believe in this offense oh no but do I want to do that hold on. Oh I love the real time thinking oh shoot I took a Maureen Hampton right I love Lad McConkey this year I have him as wide receiver 12 I would take him over all of the guys that are on this list right now but already having a Maureen Hampton do I want two of my first three picks to be from the same offense. Can you talk about what you're strategy would be well I think about it yeah some might call that a battery in fact I don't know I don't know if you know that term is apparently it's a baseball term I heard. But I would say I agree that I want to diversify a little bit especially unless you were like also going to stack Justin Herbert but right here it is you're in a bit of a pickle and you know the clock is ticking so you went with a guy that in my view Travis H and let me also say that I think this is a

8:59fantastic pick I'm surprised that H and hasn't gone up drop draft boards a little bit more with the news that Alvin Camara's a bit banged up and so there should be more space at least at the top of the season for Travis H and to perform in a pass catching capacity we know we have that ability so I think I'm you know I might actually will see if I feel compelled to move them up in my overall rankings as well. I will say one of the few things that has changed with me over the last little bit in draft season when the players have been gravitating more towards is Travis H and with where he is at Jordan Tyson unfortunately getting hurt so that's fewer targets going to the wide receiving position at that point Alvin Camara who you just mentioned now also dealing with something so it just feels like that target tree and that offense is going to run through in theory three people Chris a lot of Travis H and then the tight end John Johnson so being able to get him as my running back to here especially with how quickly the running back position dries up I don't mind being able to do that and then I'm going to do something else it's just a little bit

10:02different than what I'm doing I've done in the past I'm going to grab a third running back and go with cam scataboo a guy that I think has top 10 upside if you can stay healthy especially with what this giants offense can be but a little bit of an injury concern at least is my RB three and my RB two. I think that that is solid moves that you are making I'm looking at the board and I had scataboo I was thinking about putting him in my cube but I just don't really like pairing him with Derek Henry I feel like that might be a little too volatile not in terms of Henry's floor and weekly production but the fact that he is coming off of a 300 plus carry season so we know that scataboo has had trouble staying on the field I just didn't know if I wanted to pair those two and now I don't have few I am on the clock though and I am going to also do something I haven't done in many drafts and that select deandre swift now I know we're supposed to take coach peak with a grain of salt but then johnson has just recently like earlier this week talked about what a great season he expects expects

11:07swift to have and obviously with Kyle Menungai week to week he's banged up there is an opportunity for deandre swift to make a real statement and I believe he gets the panthers in week one that run defense certainly there was money invested in improving in it this off season but last year was super generous to the position so I like what I'm building here me to two running backs a wide receiver you've locked up potentially the best tight end in the game it's pretty easy to be able to find wide receivers and quarterbacks late we have been preaching that is so I liked the way you have started this build as well it's going to be a minute before you are back on the clock here let's recap really quickly the third round amica abuka excuse me we started with javante Williams chrisolave kyrin Williams traimich bride rashi rice garrit wilson josh allen and then I took Travis H and bolson lovelin came off the board then malik neighbors quinch on judge and amica abuka lad mcconkey davanta smith George pickens and zey flowers

12:10before I took cam scataboo and then we find our way finishing out the fourth tetoromeg millen jalen waddle davanta atoms list taking the andre swift Tyler Warren bucky Irving and T Higgins now in the fifth terry mcclore and Lamar Jackson and Liz you are one pick away from being back on the clock what are you thinking about doing here with what you've built so far well I don't mind taking a third running back just for depth and then not having to worry about it because honestly after round five you're really just throwing darts at backups that could have a larger roll down the stretch basal toot basal tooton is on the board I don't know I think we're going to talk about this in our mail back episode so I don't want to get into it right here but I'm a little bit nervous about the steam that chris rod rea has been building he's been looking extra great it as a power back so maybe I'm overthinking it but it has me pushing away from tootin a little bit you know I love david mungumry I love the floor he presents and then your guy jadari and price

13:13is right here as well so I'm going to take a running back the idea is which one and I do think I'm going to end up with david mungumry because he's who I've had at my place at the position yeah I don't know since May so I'm going to stick with it yeah I like it so you've got three running backs Derek Henry de André Swift and david mungumry I'm looking at a spot with three running backs as well amari and hampton Travis H and and cam scataboo li is in a 12 team league being able to to secure that running back spot early as long as you don't feel like you're reaching out the position makes me feel a lot better when I look back at my home at the end of the draft right now I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of wide receivers but there's still a lot of those guys available as we get into the later rounds I've liked these three running back builds that you and I have all right I really know we're looking at a question oh yeah because if I'm looking at the board you and I both need wide receivers and well he just went off I was going to say james and Williams is a player that you and I were

14:16both pretty high on heading into last year and then he underwhelmed but now again if you read Dan Graziano's bold predictions article he thinks james and Williams and again it's a bold project predictions there's a bit of an asterisk there could end the season as the Lions leading receiver he pointed out obviously that you know sam la porta is banged up and there are other issues going on but do you think as a Lions fan and a fantasy analyst that jamo could actually be a consistent producer that's a great question Liz last year when we looked at james and Williams production a good majority of it came when sam la porta was dealing with the back injury that he was dealing with and so while we've seen jamo be able to do it on the field for sure his biggest games are usually without amana or sam la porta and when the three of them have been healthy it's been a little bit of a lot of time to be able to get in the football because they also have jimmy or gips that they want to have touch the ball quite a bit in that backfield now with a new

15:17offense coordinator and drew pet scene it's just a little bit of prognostication on how we think they're going to deploy all of the targets within this offense do I think that he can yes I think more and more the way that I have started this off season I was higher in him as a potential low end wide receiver two I've moved more into that flex radar or high end wide receiver three on james and Williams because I think there are just enough pieces in that offense it makes me a little bit nervous that he's going to be able to do more not that he doesn't have the skill set but if everyone stays healthy I just think there are too many mouths to feed if that makes sense. I do think it's now I'm back on the clock. I was very yeah you are so I'll keep talking I was very intrigued I totally respect grass and he obviously travels around he talked about the lion's training camp is actually he said this to me personally last week that the lion's training training camp is one of his most favorite so I believed that this this take was coming from like a sincere place so it's just you know something to

16:22alert people to that maybe if you're not a jamo believer or you got bird by him last year you're not just automatically looking at the player underneath him when drafting but considering some extra data that was recently uncovered we love that these are always evolving things are always changing has to keep us on our toes and hopefully those are tip toes of excitement all right what are you thinking here now Daniel did you pick I think you did know I sure did speaking to get burned by a player my guy in case you did not watch the hot takes episode that I absolutely lost it during was George Kittle and I drafted him as my tight end here he is my guy I mean it was fun Blake should you go back and watch it in case you haven't and by fun I mean it was cool to be able to watch my pain and hindsight when I lived it in real time it was a little bit less fun but but it was a great time and George Kittle was my guy who I loved and I still love him now even after all of this he has moved up to my tight end five right now ahead of Kyle Pits ahead of Sam Laporta ahead of Harold Fanon Jr. I'm just nervous about what that Cleveland Brown passing game is going to look like I'm nervous about Sam Laporta's

17:24back and being healthy as much as I think he's going to be when George Kittle is healthy and that is still an F he has been an unbelievably dominant tight end and given what the rest of that receiving core looks like I still feel like he's going to feast in this offense if they had gone out and gotten other players no offense to Mike Evans in my estimation he's just an older version of himself he's nothing like Evans that we used to know in Tampa maybe I would think that George Kittle wouldn't be utilized as much but right now I think Kittle is going to feast in this offense so I'm grabbing him at the tight end spot Liz and let's catch up to where we're at because then it was Remundri Stevenson Joe Burrow Tony Pollard and then who did you go with my friend? I went with Michael Pittman we have made this comp throughout the season about Pittman being the Kenny Gainwell of 2026 Gainwell obviously cleared 70 catches and managed nearly 500 receiving yards as a running back not as a wide receiver interestingly enough though Michael Pittman has NFL bloodlines his father played the NFL and was a running back and I think you see some of that actually

18:28at least at the top of his career after the catch when you're looking at Michael Pittman Jr. So I this is a since it's a one point PPR league this was a volume play and you know is it the sexiest wide receiver to know but I feel so secure running back that I don't mind making the pick now I'm on the clock again and I'm looking for a little bit more upside to even things out and Matthew Golden is staring me straight in the face now I would have to buy pass one Del Robins and but I already have high floor I would have to buy pass Stefan Diggs and maybe Bryant Thomas Jr. or Alec Pierce but to me Golden has such a massive opportunity in this offense with over 130 targets vacated in Christian Watson who is a more volatile player let's leave it at that I don't want to talk about the hamstring factory that you know maybe didn't install his as you said soft tissue properly when he was born I just think golden has a more all around skill set and could really eat in this often so if I'm looking for upside at this

19:31point in the draft I don't mind doing it with golden. Yeah I'm with you on that after Rick Matthew Golden actually since you took Michael Pittman it was Kenny Gainwell Mike Evans Christian Watson Jalen Warren Michael Wilson courtland Sutton and then you got Matthew Golden I would have taken Matthew Golden ahead of Christian Watson in that scenario had it been there Rico Doudel then Marshawn Lloyd Les we get the running back that we think is going to be the starter for the Packers in week one of those still a lot of question marks and fluidity around that situation will continue to monitor that Kyle Pitt sums off the board and then I'm back on the clock and I've got an entire starting lineup without a quarterback or Maureen Hampton Travis H and junior Amon Ra Carnell Tate George Kittle and Cam Skataboo so I could either go with a little bit more depth here either at the wide receiver spot if I want some floor plays Wondell Robinson who you mentioned is a great floor play in my estimation or I could go with a little bit more upside if I wanted and maybe someone like Alec Pierce or Brian Thomas who you also talked about or if I wanted to just make sure because I

20:34want to get one of these quarterbacks here I need to make sure I take a look let's see Kevin's team at 81 doesn't have a quarterback pick 82 does have a quarterback pick 83 does have a quarterback pick 84 doesn't have a quarterback so that means that there's going to be four chances for a team that doesn't have a quarterback to take one before it gets back to me and do I need to take it now or do I like waiting there's enough here that I can wait okay I'm going to go with Wondell Robinson sorry to make you go through that whole process but I needed to walk through it to make sure I knew what I was doing there Liz how do you feel about that I think I love listening to people talk through their process and the fact that you do like sometimes I watch these people do mock drafts and they're like look at me I'm such an expert and here's a smart pig here's a smart pick and I'm like okay but like show your work like if my if my fourth grader has to show her work in math class you as a professional getting paid a decent amount of money should also have to show your work and I love that you just did that I like to hold myself to the same standard and I also think that using the calculus of other people's teams and

21:37their rosters is something that we don't talk about enough it is super important when you're drafting not to just follow your rankings but to make sure other people are following theirs and if they are not or if they are going off script or stockpiling a position then you have to factor that into your picks as well into your roster building so I thought that was an excellent example of both showing your work and showing how other teams matter while building yours and it also started a bit of a well they did start a bit of a quarterback run because then Kevin Pulse of her to say that hurt immediately after you took Robinson ideally Liz I do that whole thing in my head not while the people also in the draft are listening to me talk about it as well but still that's the thought process of where we're at and by the way quarterback is deep this year if I want to keep waiting at the position I can keep waiting at the position right now back on the clock and since I took Wandel Robinson Jalen hurts Tucker craft Sam Laporte Jackson Dart Isaiah

22:37likely that was a stack right there Jackson Dart Isaiah likely with Jonathan Brooks Jordan Addison and Chuba Hubbard to quarterbacks that I like the most there would have been Jackson Dart and then Jalen hurts I'm going to keep waiting now that I'm at the spot if one of them had made it I would have taken him here but instead I'm going to go with the upside wide receiver play and follow some of the money normally in my leagues where I draft Tyler Warren I don't go after this player but in this situation I don't have him at the tight end spot so Alec Pierce and all the things that he maybe could be in this colds offense especially because as of right now I can just put him right on to my IR slot after this draft is over which again is one of those things if you think about it you can maybe plan ahead a little bit in these drafts Liz. I love the idea of utilizing that IR spot off the off the jump like like George Alani should not be on waivers if you're using your IR spot correctly in week one you know like put Alec Pierce on the IR spot and then go ahead and grab someone off of waivers that you don't that has a very short

23:41window of value. I'm with you on that and I think being able to find that especially early on that doesn't mean I have to keep them there forever but ideally I'm able to find a little bit of extra value because I got four more games out of a player than anyone else in the league does. Alright we had Harold Fandon Dallas got it Brian Thomas Jr. and then you're on the clock Liz where did you end up going here? I decided to go through the list of quarterbacks as well because I hadn't selected one and since you went through your calculus I believe two more quarterbacks both Jalen Hertz and Jackson Dart came off the board. I was looking at who was left Kyle Soppie and Eric Moody and I believe Zach have yet to draft a quarterback. I don't really like the options after like I don't really want to draft Caleb Williams. I think his schedule is a bit tough I'm not quite sure he could be consistent. Trevor Lawrence starts the season a bit difficultly difficultly

24:41and I have loved I've loved Justin Herbert since the beginning of the season but I'm in so many dang mocks and regular drafts with field yates that he always ends up sniping him so I figured I would finally get my guy here since yates it was not in any of these little tiny boxes or the draft room. That was sort of where I was at when I was thinking about the quarterback I wanted last time because having the running back of Marian Hampton even though I could build a running back quarterback battery of that offense I would rather have the quarterback and wide receiver so decided to pass there. I think you get really great value here in the eighth round with that after you took Justin Herbert. It was Jacobi Myers then Travis Kelsey, Deck Prescott and Jordan Mason with JK Dobbins coming off the board and you got one more pick you are currently on deck Liz, Chris Godwin Jr. comes off and now you're back on the clock which direction you think you're going to go. I do I think I am going to draft Aaron Jones senior. I have drafted him quite a bit for a bench.

25:44Now Jordan Mason that last year didn't pan out this year again is garnering a good amount of hype we do expect this to be a split backfield but again because it's one point PPR and because I am not totally convinced that Kyler Murray's downfield downfield accuracy will be back the way it was in 2020. I don't mind Aaron Jones as a safety valve and you know there is the Kyler Murray maybe doesn't check down as much because he has his wheels but I just feel like Jones is a solid floor option here. He's not going away as much as people would like to wish him away and like speak the Jordan Mason time into existence. I am with you on that he is still going to be a part of this offense. After Aaron Jones we had Trevor Lawrence, Xavier Worthy and Stefan Diggs. Liz I think I know which direction I'm going to go but I want to ask you before I make a pick. Josh Jacobs still hasn't been selected. At this point if I was doing a

26:46draft from here on out until I hear any additional news I think I've made the decision for myself. I won't be drafting Josh Jacobs. Where are you at right now as of Wednesday September 2nd which is the day that we're recording this on your Josh Jacobs take. I think that we are in what round 9 if he fell to me in the double digit round so beginning next round I would probably take him and stash him. The tricky thing about him though is that you cannot put him on the IR. Yes that is the part about Josh Jacobs if you draft him and part of why a major part of the calculus that's why I don't want to do it. I would rather have someone like Alec Pierce so I just talked about who I can put on IR whereas I'm burning a bench spot with Josh Jacobs if you draft him and if you draft him it feels like I need to hold on to him at least for a handful of weeks at you know a month six plus because I'm expecting some sort of thing to happen so this is going to be a long term hold if I do decide to draft him. Now that I'm back on the clock we got two rounds left Liz Lose. The four teams after me already have a

27:49quarterback which means I can wait at the quarterback spot grab him with my last pick which means I will go instead with a running back that I really like this year from your Chicago Bears who are going to score the most points ever in the history of the NFL. That's what your front guy Ben Johnson has told us Kyle Menonguy as the backup running back here so my running backs are Amari and Hampton Travis H and Kyle Menonguy with Cam Skataboo all four of those guys love that team plus Amara Karnel Tate and Wondell Robinson with Alec Pierce who I mean my bench has a really high floor guy and I think a really high ceiling guy and no one I can utilize that IR spot I like the way I put this together now we just wait and see which quarterback I get when we come back around the turn here. And look Josh Jacobs did go off the board here just a couple of picks after you mentioned him to producer Quentin so 10th round availability I think that makes sense also part of the reason I don't

28:49mind him and I know I don't know if this is going to make like complete fluid sense is because Marshawn Lloyd has had such trouble staying healthy that yes it would not surprise me that if Marshawn Lloyd were to become injured there might be some sway and all of a sudden rule changes to see Jacobs on the field. I the guys behind Josh Jacobs do not inspire a ton of confidence Marshawn Lloyd has not been able to stay healthy within his young career Chris Brooks hasn't really done anything yet more of a special teams guy they just created for Caleb Johnson who was a healthy scratch basically every game after a really rough start to his rookie year even though he was a third round pick last year at the running back spot from Pittsburgh. It would be interesting to see how that one plays out. All right I have my last pick here Rashad White Tyler L. G. E. Calil's secure Blake Korm Josh Jacobs and then Caleb Williams came off the board with Mike Washington Jr. Chris Rodriguez and I'm going to go with Brock Purdy go to the little battery with my tight end George Kiddell

29:53Brock Purdy is surprisingly not a super sexy quarterback but he has been a top 10 guy for three consecutive years I think because he looks like he's 15 years old he just doesn't get as much respect as he should but he is going to command my locker room so welcome to the team Brock Purdy Liz what are you thinking about doing here with your last pick of this draft? Well I mean I don't want to say it out loud but I will tell you the first player in my cue is the Sean Stribbling and that ding means that it is my time to draft and I will be able to round out my wide receivers because again I don't love the Michael Pittman as my wide receiver too he's not exactly the paragon of health or explosiveness at this point in his career but knowing that I have Matthew Golden and or Stribbling on the bench in case something were to happen or in case I needed to chase points I feel pretty good about that. Liz Lose a mock draft is over you and I are going to go through a couple of things here we have three questions I want to answer before we get out of here

30:55and also don't forget we have a big mailbag episode coming up at the end of the week keep an eye out for that one but coming out of this draft I want you to give me your favorite pick a thing you would have done differently and a little bit of suggestion on draft strategy now that you've gone through a mock draft for all the people at home heading into the busiest draft weekend of the year. Absolutely well I don't know if it was just one favorite pick or the way the board fell but I loved that there was so much running back value available in the fifth around we had David Montgomery to Darien Price and Basil Tutton all available there I thought that was a wonderful thing and I was particularly personally pleased since I did decide to go with Tramock bride early so that was my favorite moment of the draft a pick that I would have changed for myself I didn't really love there and Jones pick I mean you could hear me talking myself into it I have done it quite a bit and I do buy the floor argument there but had I had Jonathan Brooks still been on the board had I not been sniped I would have been much happier selecting Brooks over Jones and then last minute draft advice

31:58heading into this week slash holiday weekend you know I love to running backs and a wide receiver in the first three rounds but I also want to remind people to keep scrolling because a lot of the players who are rising a lot of these drum beat players like Mike Washington Tyler L. G.R. Martian Lloyd Dishon Stribbling they're still buried in ADP that's not accurate if you are getting stuck and you don't like the players in front of you do scroll because I bet one of those guys will be a pleasant surprise for you and you'll be able to rostrum I love that Liz Losa as far as mine my favorite pick of the draft for me and I hate to pick my own pick but I love being able to grab my tight end George Kittle at the very end of the draft it felt like starting tight end I am in on that and as a part of it my second favorite pick of the draft is what my guy Kyle Soppy did with literally the last pick which was grab Juan Johnson if I'm going to grab George Kittle I would love to grab him as my tight end to encased George Kittle doesn't play week one

32:58because they draw my Detroit Lions who are going to be without both of their starting safeties and their number two cornerback they should be throwing the lot in that same soft end so I like both of those picks as far as something I wouldn't do or a pick that I would change I was talking to you about Travis H Ann and I was saying hey you know what I'd like to draft either Ladma Conkey or Travis H Ann here and then someone else in the draft drafted Ladma Conkey I should have kept my mouth shut because I would have loved to get him rather than cam scataboo in the following round I was talking through the process nothing wrong with that but that would have been something that I would have changed if I could have gotten Ladma Conkey rather than cam scataboo I felt a lot better about my squad and that wide receiver position than I've got and the last piece draft advice for the season if there's one little bit of draft advice I could give every single person heading into the busiest draft week in a year it is to follow at Liz Losa underscore ff on social media Thank you very much Daniel I adore you LIST COOL
