Fantasy Football - Mock Draft Episode! - Podcast for 6/4

10:27Mike Wright:Well, McKay Lemons hurt the press. He's got a hamstring injury. He has not been playing. Josh Jacobs is at OTAs. Okay.

10:35Jason Moore:Business as usual, says LaFleur. Okay. We'll see.

10:40Mike Wright:Drake London, four years,$141 million. Oh, ka-ching. Get that shmoney. They were like, Alec Pierce is paid how much? Drake, here you go.

10:51Andy Holloway:Yes, thank you.

10:53Mike Wright:$100 million guaranteed. Good for you, man. Third highest paid receiver in terms of average annual salary per year. Yeah, he's one of the good ones.

11:04Andy Holloway:Yep.

11:06Mike Wright:But, I mean, Jefferson is too. So you just got to make sure you get a guy that can throw you the football. Right. Regularly. Daniel Jones cleared to participate in seven on seven. Okay.

11:18Andy Holloway:Yeah. All right.

11:18Mike Wright:No, we need it. More camp buzz. Michael floor says Marvin Harrison jr. Will play the Devante Adams role as the X receiver. While Michael Wilson will play the Puka Nakua role closer to the core as the Z receiver in Arizona. Obviously Matt, Michael floor came from, you know, the Sean McVay LA system. them and obviously Harrison and Wilson are the exact same people as based off of that report give me Michael Wilson oh big time big time more free releases more opportunities in this slot

11:52Andy Holloway:because if we got to rely on just touchdowns for Marv yep ain't gonna be 14 or targets that ended

11:58Mike Wright:up with a 50 completion rate for the uh better Devante Adams yeah that's where my concern would be but i does make me lean more towards michael wilson with that report has anyone ever seen

12:11Andy Holloway:only 30 of their targets catchable because marv might run into that brandon iuke has been issued an arrest warrant it was a misdemeanor and it goes i don't really understand this because if you recall the memes enjoyed this very much of he posted a video of himself driving very fast um in december i will a public service announcement don't record that if you record yourself doing something that is illegal and then you post it on the internet they can uh look at that as evidence to say hey you did something illegal so do you get the reward for your you know like turning yourself in does he get the reward for posting i'm like yeah i guess social he's cool well normally a

13:03Mike Wright:misdemeanor of that you don't need an arrest warrant so that means he didn't he didn't show

13:08Andy Holloway:up for other um it's it's all weird and i mean we haven't really talked about the iuk situation of all rumors are him going to washington like on instagram he follows like jane daniels washington and maybe one other person. The thing about the situation is, as of right now, the 49ers don't have to do anything. They can literally just hold Brandon Ayuk, and their contract situation actually improves because they start recouping dead cap because Brandon Ayuk making boneheaded decisions. They don't have to trade him.

13:46Mike Wright:We have not talked about football and Brandon Ayuk in the same sentence in so long. He's just, I don't even know what... I don't even know what conclusions we can draw from him arriving somewhere. How in the world are we going to be like, oh, this is so exciting? We haven't seen you on a field contributing in so long.

14:04Jason Moore:In years. And part of the reason why is because he didn't take his recovery the way that the team wanted him to. So now we're supposed to trust that he's good to go as well.

14:13Mike Wright:The team's not going to do him favors in getting him out the door.

14:16Andy Holloway:That's my point is if I'm the 49ers and I, you, like we gave him the money. and then his response was not be prepared for the season. The injury's not his fault, but he didn't recover properly. He didn't rehab properly. He said, why would I help you? Like, you set the team back. He was a good player when he was a good player. The year before he got paid, he was awesome, and then he was not.

14:47Mike Wright:All right, we're going to take an early break so that we can jump right into our mock draft. Looking forward to it.

15:49some restrictions may apply well we we've had one mock draft earlier in the offseason this is a shot

16:00Mike Wright:at a 12 team full p full ppr mock with our entire uh writing staff and team here in the studio so no uh no ai will be used in the recording of this mock draft it will be all individual decisions we'll see who makes the worst one. Jake's doing stupid stuff. It's not a robot. That's Jake. Yeah, any stupid picks are real people. And we'll pass that feedback on.

16:29Jason Moore:The Fantasy Footballers Mock Draft.

16:36Mike Wright:All right. 12 team, full PPR, one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, one tight end, one flex, four bench spots. we randomly assigned draft spots i ended up with the one i think it is a decision to make in a full ppr like a tough one jason's at three mike is at eight do you have a favorite spot yet this year probably haven't thought about that not yet not yet um all right i mean one's not bad I'm going to take Puka Nakua oh okay yeah I think you know so much discussion Jameer Gibbs, B. John Robinson you can go Jamar Chase full PPR in particular Puka is a cheat code this offense is set up for a repeat if not better of what they did last year no I think I think Puka and a half PPR league is fine to take with number one overall but he's my number one wide receiver and I'm going to take him at one-on-one in a full PPR.

17:36Mike Wright:It is, you know, the last draft we did, things thinned out really tremendously quick at running back. So me being on the turn. Two-in wide receiver. Well, me being at the turn, I just need to, now that I know that I need to probably be pretty committed to two running backs on my next two picks.

17:52Jason Moore:Yeah, I don't blame you for taking Puka there. In a full PPR, he's going to have so many receptions. I still have Jamar Chase over Puka even in full PPR, but it's pretty easy to me when Bijon is sitting there at three I take Bijon

18:08Mike Wright:and you did so Gibbs went number two by the way to Kyle Jamar Chase went 104 and JSN went 105 so the three big wide receivers three of the big wide receivers off the board Brooks is on the clock at the 106 in our first round here of the full PPR mock draft Brooks went with Christian McCaffrey at 106 who you know the team keeps saying they want to give him less work and he keeps saying I can handle all the work you want and then the depth chart keeps saying names that you never heard of yeah I mean so right now I would feel confident that they'll try to give him all that work it's really hard I'm I find myself

18:48Jason Moore:very much not wanting CMC I coming off a career high in touches just feels so scary to be that age and coming off a career high. You know, I mean, obviously if he is on the field and getting that work, he should be the number one. He should be over, you know, you should have taken him instead of Puka, but I'm scared.

19:11Mike Wright:Well, CMC goes to 106 in this draft. Jonathan Taylor at 107. So Mr. Borland opted for a running back here with Jonathan Taylor at 107. Not any of the wide outs that are still on the board. Mike, you are on the clock at 108.

19:26Andy Holloway:wait i am uh it was it was gonna be taylor or almond raw for me and then taylor was selected so it's easy i'll take almond raw it's ppr yeah yeah yeah great pick in ppr number three overall

19:39Mike Wright:the last three years which puts papa josh on the clock takes the newly minted drake london money man but that's drake london over cd lamb here drake london in atlanta which is an interesting pick cd lamb goes next at 110 james cook at 111 and then uh the bets man matthew betts has two choices all right he went justin jefferson justin jefferson at 112 and saquon so went back to back there devon achan comes off the board in the second round which means that julio went back to back running backs but two guys that catch the football or at least achan sort of a receiver Chase Brown and Ashton Gentry go next.

20:19Mike Wright:Four running backs in the second round. Mike, you're back on the clock with Amon Ross St. Brown. Take us through two, three names that you're thinking through.

20:25Andy Holloway:So I will be looking at the running back position. My guy, Ken Bone Walker, is there. What does the reception total look like for the Kansas City Chiefs? I think that will be fun to find out. and Hampton I think is my next between Walker and Hampton

20:47Jason Moore:I mean let me just say this because if those are the two running backs here between that makes sense I think those are the two highest in ADP here you do nothing but talk about how much you love Kenneth Walker the only thing you do near as much is talk about how you were not that big a fan of Hampton so the fact that you're sitting here and you're like I'm thinking I'm going to take Hampton over Ken Bone then I just I say you don't know yourself

21:11Mike Wright:you could do what I did and just don't not even choose between them just have them both for legal record

21:17Andy Holloway:for Kenneth Walker and Hampton yeah he's I don't know what that has to do he's just trying to flex his keepers I was just saying like do I choose have both I'd how did you get both it sounds like you had a really bad year

21:32Mike Wright:Mike are you gonna pick

21:33Andy Holloway:yeah I'm gonna go with Kenneth Walker

21:36Mike Wright:after Jason Man, you should have taken Hampton.

21:39Jason Moore:What an idiot.

21:41Mike Wright:So that's five consecutive running backs. Barkley, A-Chan, Chase Brown. Chase Brown ahead of Jinty, ahead of Ken Walker. Then A.J. Brown and Crystal Lave go next. Hampton does go off the board at 2-0-8. Chase Brown in the PPR is – that's a dangerous man. He could be. Jason's on the clock here. Bijan in the first. What are you looking at here? You have a quick turn here going into the third round.

22:05Jason Moore:Yeah, the wide receivers that are on the board right now are all in kind of a big clump to me. I don't desperately love one more than the others. At running back, there are a handful here that I really like. So I assume I'm going to go running back, which means I'm between Josh Jacobs, business as usual, but obviously has a lot of red flags in the UDK. I think his risk rating is about as high as it can go, but I do think if he plays this year for the Packers, he's going to dominate. You know I'm a sucker for Kyron Williams. I believe in him, and he's great. And then I'm also, you know, Jeremiah Love, it's a little high, but he's so good.

22:51Jason Moore:You know, in the end, I think he'll – I'm starting to have fears about – Two of his games just got harder. Two of his games just got harder. Yeah, but I mean, I think he's going to catch the ball a lot. I am going to – This is a man who has no idea who he's going to pick. That is what I just – I want to take Josh Jacobs. I really want to take Josh Jacobs. I just worry about that.

23:13Mike Wright:So full PPR, you're just like double running backs. You don't even think – you know what I mean? I'm thinking –

23:17Jason Moore:No, just because of tears. I want – I definitely want to take one of these three running backs that I like a lot. So I'm going to pull the trigger on Kyron Williams because I still 100 % believe he is the leader for that team. And he does not have to play against Myles Garrett. He gets to play with Myles Garrett.

23:38Mike Wright:So Jason went with Kyron Williams, which I think he's the he's quorum's backup, right? Isn't that the that's what some people think. I thought you might think about Brock Bowers, a positional advantage in a full PPR who is sitting there and went next to Kyle. Kyle took Brock Bowers there. I have such a long wait. The running backs when I, like the commitment to Puka was a commitment to two running backs here for my team, and that's what I wanted to experiment with. Who would actually make it back to me here? You know, I just don't, maybe this is a good exercise in the situation right now. I don't want to draft Josh Jacobs right now.

24:15Mike Wright:I just don't. I just don't want to take him. Like if that news report didn't happen and he doesn't have a bunch of question marks, sure, that's probably the pick here. but I'm not going to do that and I'm not going to take the rookie and Jeremiah Love I think it's it's just asking a lot to count on him to be my one I'm going to take Derrick Henry and Brees Hall I'm going to take two guys Brees Hall's Shoney has pass catching chops Derrick Henry in the late second is the bottom of this tier of great running backs so I'm going to take two solid workhorse backs because I got a long wait till my next pick to go with Puka yeah so it's back to me

24:49Jason Moore:at this point full ppr i'll take mcbride um you know i do prefer bowers no wide outs i do prefer bowers over mcbride but i mean they're both going to catch a ton of passes and i think going running back running back to start will let me really shotgun the wide receivers as the the draft goes

25:09Mike Wright:on you didn't mention it but tet mcmillan went between my pick of brie saw and your pick of mcbride jeremiah love does finally go off the board at 304 uh george pickens and devante smith go next and then producer borland pulls the trigger with garrett wilson nice looking team with jonathan taylor aj brown and garrett wilson i mean that is two target hogs and then a true workhorse and taylor uh whether taylor can get those reception numbers up we'll see mike you're back on the clock i'm on rossst brown and kenneth walker and you said oh man because there are

25:44Andy Holloway:names you're struggling with well i mean you have the rasheed rice question is massive i mean you've got a choice between like guys with real questions just guys doing bull crap off the field like rasheed rice here would be crazy. I mean, had his incident of probation violation not happen, I don't think he's available here in the third round. So that's... Oh my gosh. That's hard. My feel on that situation is if nothing's going to change, I think he'll be... I don't think he'll end up suspended. For who? for Rice then I mean I would be very committed to the Kansas City Chiefs if I went with Kenneth Walker and Rice I'm gonna sidestep that I feel like if we knew for sure Rice was not gonna get in trouble that's where I would go I'm gonna sidestep it though I'm gonna take Amika Egbegbu as he will not make it back to me and he's just Amika Egbegbu I'm pretty interested in Abuka.

27:02Mike Wright:All right, so a run of five wideouts there in a row. Abuka is followed by Rashi Rice. And then Josh Jacobs off the board. I guess the price was right for the Falcon. Lad McConkie, interesting name in full PPR, followed by Travis H. Ann Jr. of the Saints and T. Higgins. So Betsy has Jefferson, Higgins, Barkley, and H. Ann, which is interesting, H. Ann Jr. um higgins jameson williams bucky irving starting off our fourth round josh allen the first quarterback off the board at 404 just to recap the teams right now through three rounds i've got puka nakua derrick henry and breeze hall jason has bijon kyron and trey mcbride mike is rolling with amon rossst brown ken walker his dude and ameka abuka i think we all expect to have a

27:53Andy Holloway:an impressive season in tampa yeah i'm looking for abuka to step forward so here at this pick at the running back position. I've said it a few times, it's disgusting how I... Oh, I know the name, but just that intro is Swift. It's DeAndre Swift as the disgusting player I'm interested in here. We have a pretty strong difference of opinion on Zay Flowers and what he offers for fantasy football. I mean, Luther Burden is there. that's what i was gonna bring up he look i love luther i love luther i love him you know what i love him so much in fact i'm gonna take actually the better one i'm gonna take mr loveland i'm gonna take him in the fourth here let's see what this team shakes up to being producer borland on

28:46Mike Wright:the clock mike went with mr loveland he he jumps on tyler warren real quick mr loveland tyler warren goes one pick later loveland and warren will probably be close in all drafts javante williams had been hanging out until the seventh pick of the fourth round. Lamar Jackson goes next. So two quarterbacks in this round, two tight ends in this round, fourth round. And Cam Scadaboo maybe, well, I guess not an option for Jason there.

29:10Jason Moore:No, I had him flagged. I very well might have taken him. And I still might actually take Travion Henderson, who is on the board as well. Oh, man. I'm just going to go zero wide receiver in the full PPR. In the full PPR. Yeah. You know, you play around in mocks and see what happens. It's a bold strategy, Cotton. But I'm also tempted here with the fact that I am, you know, I'm going into the fourth without a wide receiver. I'm tempted to not take a wide receiver by taking Malik Neighbors. He's at the point where I believe he'll start on the pup, but I also think the second half of the year he'll be a very dominant wide receiver that you couldn't usually get in the fourth round.

29:46Jason Moore:If I played it safe, I've got like Terry McLaurin, I think is a very good wide receiver, should be fine for fantasy. I'm higher on Mike Evans. Those are the names that I am currently looking at. And I would say that of those names, I want two of those wide receivers. So I am going to actually take Malik Neighbors here because you're upset?

30:07Mike Wright:No, I guess I'm a little bit upset. Yeah, I would have taken him. But I guess I would have considered you to be the least likely to take Malik Neighbors because you are the most needy for wide receivers. You're the only team not only – every team has two wide receivers. is he up for three at this point, and that's your first one, and he might not be available to you.

30:25Jason Moore:I don't think he'll be available to start the season. But when I look at the other names, the wide receivers that I like, I assume that those guys would come back, and I did not think Neighbors would come back. Assuming I'm taking two wide receivers here at the four and five, I'm taking them in the order that I get the guy that I won't be disappointed, you know, the most.

30:43Mike Wright:All right, so Malik Neighbors goes off the board at 4 '10". Terry McLaurin is next to Kyle. Luther Burden is still on the clock. Roma Dunze is still on the clock. Carnell Tate, the rookie. Makai Lemon, the rookie. BTJ, we haven't talked about it, but he's been getting a lot of publicity of sorts. I kind of have to check one name with you guys. Are you in a position, Mike? Because we talked about him on the last show, and you had to explain yourself about him. Would you do the Pukunukua-Devante Adams pairing if it fell that way, where the tier breakdown was Devante's the last of a tier. and you have to dip down into a whole other category, is that a team with an MVP that you would be into it?

31:34Man.

31:34Mike Wright:Because I have Puka. Right. He's on the board. Devontae Adams is on the board. You do have the built-in factor that if one guy was to miss time, they go nuclear. But it's rare to do that combo.

31:45Andy Holloway:The interesting part that's not making sense in my head is, like I am if a team wants to go Jamar Chase and then you know assuming T Higgins provides a value I'm fine having those two guys on one team and that's that's kind of yeah if I do that it's like I well I'm yeah and then I'm gonna I'm gonna prioritize Joe Burrow and it's because I feel like when Joe Burrow is healthy he's 4 ,500 yards mid-30s in the touchdown so he hasn't always been healthy and he Stafford had the great year but he's given us some clunkers is it Devante Adams who's really on helping to unlock plus the new way that they're doing offense I think I'm okay with it if the value presented itself if you want to go all in on the Rams yeah um I I think that

32:38Jason Moore:that is fine I would agree with Mike like that if I did that I might be looking because Stafford in a single quarterback league probably doesn't even get drafted he'd probably be the the you

32:48Mike Wright:know my last pick my I'll just you know we're just talking about everything I'm not going to hide anything here so like my decision here is a tough one between like I'm probably going to pull the trigger on a running back here which I didn't think there'd be ones I liked Travo well to me Judkins also is is sitting there and man and so Judkins Judkins looks great by the way if you look

33:10Andy Holloway:at him I think at OTAs he looks outstanding and it's this is not to take away from the ability of of Jared Verse Miles Garrett's different Miles Garrett changes things so much and the only reason that that that team could run ever is because their defense was holding everything it was was holding the game script close I think Quinn Sean Judkins actually gets a he gets a knock down from me from miles garrett leaving of will they be able to ball control the at least at the same the kind of the way that we're able to do it last year yeah or they're going to have to turn to a

33:53Mike Wright:pass much quicker i mean the logic checks out i think their offense will be better i think the play calling will be better with monkin um whether that balances it out i don't mean to like just take forever on this pick but the decision the decision between adams the other name that that I think in a PPR league is the most interesting to me is Carnell Tate because when I look at the guys on the board you know Mike Evans that's not going to be a PPR play I don't like DJ Moore I don't like Zay Flowers Jalen Waddell I don't know what I'm getting I know Carnell Tate's going to be the target leader of a team that I really like with Brian Dable and so I think I am going to split these guys up I'm going to take Carnell Tate in the fourth round that's probably the earliest he's gone in any of these drafts but I have to wait 22 picks between my selections and I am going to go quench on judkins i just all right i have a different conviction about him than you do i feel like with puka on my team tate is a perfect you know number two option so i'm gonna i'm gonna roll that and see what happens with the long wait trevo goes next to kyborg and jason you're on the

34:52Jason Moore:clock probably was pining for trevo um no because i i mean i would have loved to take him i think the value in the fifth is fantastic but with my build i really have to get a wide receiver here and I'm between Mike Evans and Rome Odunze. Mike Evans, I really, really like, but you're right. He is not really the PPR play. I want a guy who can get 150 targets, be a volume play. And I think that is Rome. Obviously there's disagreement. Most people are putting Luther Burden ahead of Odunze. We'll find out as the season goes, but I'm going to stick with my conviction that he is their primary target leader.

35:29Mike Wright:The hardest part, I'll just tell you, because I like Rome as well. The hardest part between those two when I was staring them down was not – I like Rome, but I like – like the draft gap in ADP is very intimidating there. Like it's 30 picks. Like Burden's going 30 picks ahead of Rome. So when you want to pull the trigger on Rome, that gets into the back of your head a little bit, but you stuck with your conviction. Joe Burrow at 504. Luther Burden goes at 505. So Mike doesn't get him. Should we worry about the Madden cover?

35:58Andy Holloway:you know you for drafting loveland getting wrong who was it last year uh it was barkley okay

36:07Mike Wright:jadarian price goes at 506 ahead of swift what do you think of that taking the shot on jadarian price i mean i wouldn't do that but that's the opinion that

36:19Andy Holloway:i wouldn't do that i mean i don't mind price going around this range but swift do you have any regrets taking loveland was seeing that burden swift just barely didn't make it back no no no the only regret i would have is i had forgotten before we started it was like i think i'm i'm gonna go a build because i'll just talk about it now you know there with more and more quotes and things coming out i think tucker craft's gonna be okay guys like i think he's going to be good to go at least at some point in training camp and yes there could be a slower start but for where you get to take tucker craft and with what he was doing i've i'm starting to shift from being like pretty cautious around it to uh if the news keeps going the way that it's going to go i'm just going to remove all those red flags and and take my price discount on Tucker Craft, which would be like, I mean, who knows where he'll go now, but generally speaking, it would be at least a few rounds from now.

37:25Andy Holloway:So that would be the only disappointment for me, having gone with Loveland early.

37:31Mike Wright:All right. Interesting. Yeah, I think it's a pretty long wait for DeAndre Swift, pretty good value there for Al Borland at 5.07. Mike, you're back on the clock. Amon Ross, St. Brown, Ken Walker, Abuka, and Loveland at 5.08. Who's it going to be?

37:45Andy Holloway:Zay Flowers is still there. So I will take him. Last year, I know the final finish is not – he was wide receiver seven, not totally wide receiver seven, but 1 ,200 yards and only five touchdowns. And Zay Flowers, to me, is a player who if – I think a fluky touchdown season is in the cards for him at some point of where he's at like eight or more.

38:12Mike Wright:All right, Mike went with Zay Flowers. DJ Moore finally goes. Jalen Waddell, Devontae Adams at 5 '11", Bashal Tootin at 5 '12", sixth round begins with Mike Evans. And how do you like your team and how it's shaping up so far, Jay?

38:26Jason Moore:I do like it. I mean, I think it's going to depend on what happens the rest of the draft because I went risky taking a onesie in McBride and an injured neighbors and a full PPR. But I'm pretty happy with how it's going so far. I do want to point out, Bashal Tootin that Betts just took at the turn, that was i've been seeing more and more about crawd being hurt hurt i was a little bummed that tootin did not make it back to me yeah he was he was on my list as well oh you know tootin's not

38:56Mike Wright:making it past me evans tyson btj at 603 who has gotten a lot of attention but there's also been quotes from that you know from liam cohen saying the ball goes to a lot of different places in this offense rj harvey dude the coach papa josh has rj harvey as his running back too would you feel comfortable with rj harvey as you're running back too no would you feel comfortable with rj harvey as you're running back four four yeah okay if you were going to go to three i was going to say no i would not uh mike you're back on the clock um yeah yeah really wanted to go flowers and and get tootin on the way back the running backs are right now like adp wise montgomery jalen warren

39:42Andy Holloway:ramondre manungai tony pollard rico chuba i mean so it's like some interesting players are there but i think the you know that true upside guy who can break into the top 12 that was that was tootin um so i only have one running back but we're gonna we're gonna keep going are you oh yeah to me there's a couple of like guaranteed running back production names yeah but i'm we're trying to win a championship here and christian watson is one of my i hate you league i thought for sure you'd go running back there and i was locked into watson on this pick no he watson instead you have You have a bear.

40:25Andy Holloway:My upside pick. Yeah, exactly.

40:27Mike Wright:Well, Watson goes to Mike. You do believe in him, but it's a gamble when, you know, Ken Walker has had some injury issues. Oh, yeah. And you're still waiting. But we know how you play. Producer Borland cries into the heavens and then ends up with a quarterback instead. Drake May goes at 6-0-6. My dude, Alec Pierce at 6-0-7. Jalen Warren and David Montgomery fly off the board. I have my eyes on, well, I'm going to get the guy I want because you two both already drafted tight ends. But I'm looking to get Harold Fannin with my seventh-round pick. But, Jason, you're on the clock, B. John.

41:05Andy Holloway:I know.

41:06Mike Wright:Super exposure to the Cleveland Browns. I knew, I knew, I knew. What could go wrong? B. John, Kyron, McBride, neighbors, and Odunze for Jason.

41:15Andy Holloway:I feel like when you go into your platform and you try and put in Judkins and Fanit, it would be like, your roster is illegal. We're going to stop you right here.

41:25Mike Wright:There's a chance I take two wide receivers. Friends don't let friends start multiple Browns. It's possible. But let's see what Jason goes with.

41:34Jason Moore:I am going to – look, I'm playing risky here, and I'm also going away from ADP and going with what I genuinely believe. You guys just talked about the report in the news section today. I'm going to do it again. I'm going to take a third-year wide receiver over the teammate who is being drafted higher. It's a little disgusting, but I'm taking Marvin Harrison Jr. Oh. Yeah. I don't believe that he is bad. I just don't. He was injured like crazy last year. You're going to draft Jacoby, too? I am not drafting Jacoby Myers, no.

43:56Mike Wright:Well, I am going to pull the trigger on another wide receiver for sure with one of my two picks here at the turn, and I had a name set aside for a while. it's kind of perfect when you have puka i'm going to take a shot on two opportunities for rookies i have carnell tate and then i have makai lemon so i'm going to take both of those guys that's fun and uh hope that it shakes out for both and maybe at least one of them to step into the lineup now i'm looking at a couple onesie options i could run the stack i could take jalen hurts here i think a seventh round jalen hurts is pretty that's pretty awesome yeah um or i could go fanning or i could just try to stack up another wide receiver um but seeing hurts there you know in the seventh round i'm gonna i'm gonna pull the trigger that's pretty wild i'm gonna take jill and hurts there i mean where was he last year not there probably goodness probably fourth round yeah all right goosh by the way jayden daniels did go between harrison and lemon so he was off the board so hurts uh kind of a tear break for me at quarterback um between the rest of the group and where Jalen Hurts was.

45:01Mike Wright:Kyle went with Josh Downs at 7.02. Jason, you're back on the clock. Jacoby Brissett is available. Michael Wilson's available. So there are options on the roster.

45:11Jason Moore:I am pretty tempted. Kendrick Bourne? Kendrick Bourne's there. So I'm going to look at running back right now. Connor, James Conner's there. What we've learned this offseason is when running backs kind of empty out, they are gone. And I think the reason that that's happening this year when we've done our mocks is because usually the back half of drafts is where you take these rookie running backs. There just aren't rookie running backs. All the rookie running backs this year are day three picks that weren't like elite prospects. You look at last year and it was so many of these guys that you're taking shots on and they just don't exist this year.

45:51Jason Moore:So I'm going to take a guy that I think is an extreme value uh I would I would rather have him than RJ Harvey I'm gonna take JK Dobbins oh you snake yeah I know you you you are uh in agreement that he is probably the best value on the team as just the veteran first man up on a good offense oh no Timu Nakua went

46:10Mike Wright:next Michael Wilson at 704 and then uh Harold Fannin does go at 705 I'd like to believe he was going to pick him if I didn't say anything. But it's Jake. Yeah, it's probably not. So Chuba Hubbard goes at 7.06. And DK Metcalf, oh, you have fallen. You have fallen far. 7.07 for Metcalf. Oh, man. That's a good pick right there. Sniped. Mike is so disappointed.

46:39Andy Holloway:Oh, no. I really hoped that Chuba or Dobbins. And I think that if I were not in a draft with all of y 'all, J.K. Dobbins would have made it to me. He is a stabilizer at the running back position. There's more beat reporters again. They're just like, Dobbins is the starter. We're telling everyone, J.K. Dobbins is starting. And R.J. Harvey is kind of doing the same stuff he did last year. But he's boring, Mike. He's just boring. The thing is, he's not boring. He just gets hurt all the time. When he's on the field, he is awesome.

47:18Mike Wright:This round is like the last three running backs off the board. Maybe you could say four with Jalen Warren. But they are the like, just tried and true, get the job done, not flashy. David Montgomery, J.K. Dobbins, and Chuba, three in a row. I don't know if you saw the comments from Jonathan Brooks at the podium, but they were asking him something about his speed and his 40 time. He's just like, it's faster than Chuba. I know that. And they were all laughing. What?

47:44Jason Moore:No, it was good. it was light-hearted okay it was funny they were asking how his speed is coming off like what's

47:49Andy Holloway:your top speed he's like i'm not sure faster than chuba no i'm faster than chuba dad is that's

47:55Mike Wright:cold-blooded yeah it was funny great uh metcalf though goes to al borland who i think you know if you get him in the seventh round i know mike is just he can withdraw from this comment but i think that's a steal so mike you're back on the clock you got four wide outs you got a tight end you got a one running back yeah i'm gonna go running back here uh you got somebody you like I got someone who I'm going to draft I bet I know who it is

48:18Andy Holloway:Do you want me to take a guess?

48:20Mike Wright:Because it's not near the top of the ADP

48:23Andy Holloway:He's not at the top of the ADP I've got my guess as well You want me to write it down on this board? Yeah, we'll write it down

48:30Mike Wright:And then you'll reveal it and we'll hold it up and see if we were right A little game It's not great for audio, but go ahead

48:38Andy Holloway:I can see Jason, his is wrong So you can put yours down

48:41Mike Wright:What was yours, Jason? Aaron Jones. Oh, that was mine too. Okay.

48:45Andy Holloway:Oh, Aaron Jones is actually a – that is a good guess.

48:48Mike Wright:We both guessed Aaron Jones, yeah.

48:51Andy Holloway:Honestly, he would be second behind this player. I'm going to take the chance.

48:57Mike Wright:Really?

48:58Andy Holloway:Yep. That's the first Bill of the season.

49:04Mike Wright:Isn't it funny? He's just blending into the –

49:07Andy Holloway:Yes, he is.

49:09Mike Wright:We haven't talked about him at all.

49:10Andy Holloway:jacquard kroski because i feel like the addition of rashad white i'm not sure that bill kroski is a great bet right now uh i just read you know that they were talk coaches talking about him again of like yeah he's really got to work on uh you know his pass catching yeah you're like which is what rashad white can do so it i think it's risky business but there there is a world where bill is like the grinder and he's the guy at the at the goal line as well and and just at

49:39Mike Wright:historically speaking when you have a quarterback that you know daniels was hurt last year yep but when you have a quarterback that can run the ball that can run the option that has generally been a good thing like don't forget rg3 ran the option and alfred morris benefited from the option the long ago yeah that's right jacori krosky married to mike at 708 didn't see that coming ramondre goes next i know mike wouldn't have taken ramondre godwin dowdle could have seen that uh Tony Pollard, Herbert in the eighth round, Tucker Craft to Julia, and then Wandale and Parker Washington. Lots of Parker Washington talk, not just in regards to how he's performing in OTAs, but the team expects him to take a big step up.

50:22Mike Wright:And contract could be around the corner.

50:26Andy Holloway:Sifting through all of the comments coming out of Jacksonville is hard because I saw the Brian Thomas stuff, and then there was even a comment of Brian Thomas saying something to the extent of like, well, it doesn't hurt right now. When he runs. Yes, when he runs. And that was one of the theories of the beginning of last year because you had a wrist gate where Coach Cohen made an off, just like a comment about Brian Thomas' wrist hurting and then tried to backtrack and then it was never heard from again. It was really strange. So it was, oh, well, maybe Brian Thomas was hurt. So he's getting all this news.

51:04Andy Holloway:but then Parker was. So I don't really know how to handle that. And thankfully, the guy that you guys wrote down, he came back to me. It's not the most inspiring of picks, but Aaron Jones. I will take Aaron Jones here. Aaron Jones is like – I don't know how other people are feeling about the Vikings, but I still believe in the O 'Connell offense that it will give us a top half, like a top 15 scoring offense if that happens you want to take shots on those running backs in there and it sounds like aaron jones is going to be the starter oh no you got did you get cute

51:43Mike Wright:i got i got huge so uh mike took aaron jones and then quorum laporta gainwell and then right before jason i guess you had your eyes on quentin johnston which is something that people didn't

51:54Jason Moore:want to admit no i i i think quentin johnston is such a good value in this year's draft to where he's going i mean this is the back of the eighth round and honestly from adp was this this was you know ahead of where he goes on average so i thought for sure i'd be getting huge here which i would love for my team i still need more wide receiver help um if i didn't have to make those two running

52:16Andy Holloway:back picks quentin johnston would have probably been one of them it is funny how so courtland

52:23Jason Moore:sutton's top of adp this is very late for a guy who has been what like back to back should be good in ppr wide receiver well my point is i i don't even look at him like i don't want cornell at all and he pretty sure he was a wide receiver one last year um but i'm gonna take a shot on

52:41Mike Wright:so you're still not looking at him correct but that summary was that you do not want the 120 plus targets he's guaranteed to receive i don't know that he's guaranteed that with waddle now

52:50Andy Holloway:i think he is i don't know if you know what guaranteed means i think son's gonna be well he was at 135 and then 124.

52:57Mike Wright:So, I mean, he could obviously come down,

52:59Andy Holloway:but he's probably in the eighth round. You can deal with his ups and downs. This is the, are you guys trying to talk me into Corlin? No, I don't care. I'm trying to talk to the audience.

53:08Mike Wright:I'll probably take him if you don't. But all I'm saying is that the psychological effect of Sutton wasn't as good as we wanted him to be. And they add another name to the offense. That combination generally drives a guy down. I don't know if that talked you into it.

53:22Jason Moore:Yeah, you didn't. I'm going to build the city. I'm going to take a guy that I like. What? Does that drop even exist anymore? Yeah, it's there somewhere. I don't have it. Hit it. Ow. Ow. Hit it. I'm going to take Michael Pittman. Ow. Hit it. I think he's going to be the number one target over DK Metcalf. Hit it. This season. Yeah.

53:47Mike Wright:Man, I couldn't not like the Pittman. I like Pittman. Yeah. Take me out of that city. I don't want to be in that city. You got to have something without me in it. um no i don't want the number two potentially number two target for i can say potentially right at a minimum you can't you know he could be the number two to do boldly declare he is the number two i think would be a misstep but i'm on the clock and sutton did not go i'm so thankful to kyle by the way because i was going to be right back oh just all the rookies well i was going to be right back in the maybe i grab a second brown again with casey concepcioni had been sitting on my queue um here here's the picks i'm looking at i'm gonna pull the trigger on a guy i don't want to draft i'm just gonna and symbolically i'm gonna make it be my second pick so it's a ninth round pick and not an eighth so i feel better about it my first pick is gonna be matthew golden he's gonna be on the field all the time in green bay he is two and a half rounds behind christian watson i'm gonna take my shot at it yeah i don't mind it the second name is going to be i mean frankly in a ppr league better than he would be anywhere else because they need to throw the ball to somebody else, I'm going to do it.

54:55Mike Wright:I'm going to take Kyle Pitts. I'm going to take Kyle Pitts in the ninth round. I just feel like that's a steal at tight end. I don't need to watch Atlanta, but Drake London, dot, dot, dot. There's nobody else. When Drake London was there,

55:08Andy Holloway:there was literally no one else.

55:10Mike Wright:He was the number three tight end, Mike.

55:12Andy Holloway:Because when Drake London was gone, number two, I thought.

55:15Mike Wright:He had the crazy game, right? But just throw that out and just look. 120 targets, 88 receptions I'm in a full PPR league I'm going to take them here in the ninth and and get a value and you have to have before the drop changes yeah um you're back on the clock and you can take

55:33Jason Moore:Cortland Sutton now I knew who I was going to take because um both the teams you and Kyle at the turn already had quarterbacks so I didn't take the player I would have taken over Pittman last round because I didn't need to I'm going to take Jackson Dart to pair with my Malik neighbors hoping that at the end of the year we can catch fire win a championship i love the mobile rushing upside obviously um and then you know coming into year two maybe uh special things in store all right

56:00Mike Wright:well jason took jackson dart omar cooper jr sutton dac addison we're getting towards the end here mike you're back on the clock you will need a qb in the next three rounds yeah i'm not worried

56:12Andy Holloway:about that uh the quarterbacks available are caleb williams trevor lawrence patrick mahomes Brock Purdy, Stafford, Goff, Malik Willis, Shuck.

56:22Mike Wright:Was it Harditz that put that out? Somebody tweeted, quarterbacks with the most long touchdown passes in the last four years, and they listed them top to the bottom. Jalen Hurts was number one. He was like 37 or 27, something like that. The last place player with eight of the entire list of 30-plus quarterbacks. Do you know who it was? Mahomes? Patrick Mahomes. Oh. eight long touchdowns so on one hand you could be like he still managed to be relevant without

56:51Jason Moore:doing that like not good but relevant i think when you have long touchdowns that is every bit as much of what wide receiver do you have you know it's not jalen hurts it's a.j brown it wasn't patrick mahomes it's tyree kill you know it's like when you've got the guy that can get behind the entire defense and catch the bomb that it's very helpful which that is a drake may statement

57:14Mike Wright:All right, Mike, pull the trigger.

57:17Andy Holloway:Speaking of a Drake May statement.

57:18Mike Wright:Romeo Dobbs. I will take Romeo Dobbs. It actually fills up two draft spots because of the helmet. I assume. Which you don't get a tenth now.

57:29Andy Holloway:I assume that if Drake May does what he should do, which is be a north of 4 ,000-yard passer with close to 30, maybe more passing touchdowns, there should be at least two players in that passing offense you want. So I'm going to bet on the guy who they are betting on.

57:48Mike Wright:Yeah, it'll be, you know, I think Keyshawn Booty this morning requested a trade. And it's funny because the team requested that like two months ago. So it's time for him to get out and say, yeah, I want to be somewhere else as well. Julia goes, so after Mike's pick, Mark Andrews, Caleb Williams, Tyrone Tracy,

58:08Andy Holloway:uh trevor lawrence jordan mason woody marks where are you guys with mark andrews i i i actually am

58:16Jason Moore:quite high on mark andrews as when you're when you're taking the strategy that i take which is basically i'm punting i either get one of the main guys or i punt all the middle rounds and you need a late round guy mark andrews i don't think he's going to go out there and put up 900 yards but with isaiah likely gone he is a touchdown machine for lamar jackson i think he has every bit of a chance of any of the other crap at this point in the draft to go get 10 touchdowns i think

58:44Mike Wright:you're right about that i think this is the one format where i would avoid him like the plague just because it's full ppr yeah i mean his last three seasons 45 55 48 in total reception so it is touchdown or bust for him but i but i do see a world where he's more productive this year yeah

58:59Jason Moore:i wonder with likely being gone how much that around last year he was yeah i don't know all

59:07Mike Wright:right mike you're at 10.05 here let's run it out all right we're just gonna go with we're

59:14Andy Holloway:we're just gonna go where well i'm gonna say i'm gonna go with an upside rookie uh because i really i don't have any um so i'm gonna at least make sure i get one and in this mock i'm gonna go antonio williams that's who i had from washington of you know we we just did the iuk talk and And I don't know. I mean, like I was reading some – there was some kind words being said about last year's pick, Jalen Lane. So, like, I want to make sure I'm keeping an eye on him. But for this draft, sure, I'll grab Antonio Williams, and we'll see what happens.

59:50Mike Wright:All right. Yeah, it is important to know that there are some guys like – Jalen Lane's one of them, but, like, some of these players that just didn't have the opportunities last year. But when these depth charts are really light, they may get a chance. Chigakonquo goes next to B-Cat, so he was drafted. Jason, you're on the clock.

1:00:11Jason Moore:I mean, at this point. I'm going to take a player who I almost took over Pittman when we were having the Sutton-Pittman conversation. He is a week one wonder boy, so you know he'll get off to a hot start. Sammy Watkins? Close. Jaden Reed. Oh. You know, basically we've all taken a shot here, the three of us.

1:00:29Andy Holloway:No, Kyle.

1:00:30Jason Moore:No. Oh, Johnny Brooks. No. Oh, no. That was my assumed 11th round pick. You were going to take Brooks? Son of a gun. Jonathan Brooks.

1:00:39Andy Holloway:That's a good pick right there.

1:00:40Mike Wright:Dang it. Yeah. I got to find a new pick. I thought for sure I'd get him. Gosh dang it. All right. Fine. You can have him.

1:00:50Andy Holloway:We're going to talk about him next week. I don't think you can stop it.

1:00:53Mike Wright:No, I mean, I could. I probably did the commish of the league. I could actually move it. Well, that sucks. I'm going to take Zach Charbonnet at 10-12. It's funny because nobody wants, like every time Jadarian Price gets drafted, everybody's like, oh, I don't like that. But then like nobody drafts Arbonne. Yeah. Isn't that a weird thing? I can dislike it all. I mean, Super Bowl champs, good offensive line. And then I'm going to just throw this dude on my IR. I'm taking George. Oh, I like it. George Kittle with the final pick of the draft. Oh, there's Keenan. Kyle ruined my, oh, of course he took Keenan Allen.

1:01:26Mike Wright:Kyle took Keenan Allen in the 11th. Of course he did. Of course he did. Honestly, you smashed those last two picks, you son of a gun.

1:01:32Jason Moore:I'm going to take Chris Rodriguez. I know I just mentioned Crod is injured, but he also has a chance to be the starting running back for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

1:01:42Mike Wright:Mahomes, Emmitt Johnson going next. Brooks is on the clock. He took Pearsall last round, by the way. I don't think I mentioned Pearsall off the board. Nobody wants Pearsall. Kind of funny. Love Purdy, right? Doesn't have Kittle. Yeah. Jason likes Evans, who's 107 years old, and Pearsall's just not a target.

1:02:01Jason Moore:Yeah, no, he should be drafted higher than this.

1:02:03Mike Wright:Jalen McMillan, Khalil Shakir, Mike, you have your final pick of quarterbacks, so you've got to take one.

1:02:08Andy Holloway:I do, left on the board, just for people at home listening. You could do a stack with Goff. You could do a stack with Baker. We are in the 11th, and available QBs to me, Brock Purdy, Stafford, Bo Nix, Jordan Love, Jared Goff, Malik Willis, Baker, Tyler Shuck. There's plenty of weekly starters, plenty of upside.

1:02:34Andy Holloway:between if I were, you know, thinking through it, Brock Purdy, Malik Willis, Tyler Shuck, those would be the three guys that I would be looking at. And for this one, I mean, this one I'm just going to go, I'll just take Brock Purdy. He is my highest ranked QB right now.

1:02:56Mike Wright:All right, Mike pulled the trigger there, which is going to bring us to the end. Love another mock draft here. Full PPR mock draft. Couple picks left. Jonah Coleman goes in the last round. My team, if we want to run it back, I've got Jalen Hurts at the quarterback position, Puka Nakua, Carnell Tate, Makai Lemon, and Matthew Golden at wide receiver. Derrick Henry, Brees Hall, Quinchon Judkins, and Charbonnet at running back with Kyle Pitts and a side of George Kittle on the IR.

1:03:29Jason Moore:I have Jackson Dart leading the way at quarterback, Trey McBride, my other onesie, at running back, B. John Robinson, Kyron Williams, J.K. Dobbins, and Crod. And then at wide receiver, Malik Neighbors, Roma Doonze, Marvin Harrison, Michael Pittman, and Jaden Reed.

1:03:45Andy Holloway:My wide receivers, Amon Ross, St. Brown, Emeka Buka, Zay Flowers, Christian Watson, Romeo Dobbs, Antonio Williams, Went very wide receiver heavy for the PPR. Ken Walker, Bill Krosky, Merritt, Aaron Jones are my running backs. So that'll be the – looking at it, it's like Dobbs or Williams for Brooks. I think I should – I probably should have made that swap and not let Jonathan Brooks drop. But then Brock Purdy and Mr. Loveland are my onesies.

1:04:14Jason Moore:I like that we all three took a shot on the Packers wide receiver. Oh, we have the three? We have the three of like, someone's got to be good.

1:04:23Mike Wright:All three of us will be disappointed. Yeah, for sure. All right. Don't forget, next week we're getting into early breakouts and sleepers, early values and busts. Also, all of our tiered rankings, custom scoring, cheat sheets, all that stuff's in the UDK. You can go to ultimatedraftkit.com. It's available right now. All of the content is available. When you listen to shows like this, when you go do mock drafts, when names start popping up on the show, you're like, oh, my gosh, I forgot about that guy. Like Jonathan Brooks. All of us clearly had Jonathan Brooks as a late-round target, who we will talk about next week.

1:04:49Mike Wright:but you can go open the UDK app and go mark them. You know, like mark the players so that when you're going through your draft. So important. You can actually, like it's just impossible to keep all those names in your head. It just is. And it's so easy. You got to make some notes.

1:05:02Jason Moore:When you're actually at the draft to just forget. And it's so nice when you can just swipe down and look for a big yellow bar, like someone you've highlighted. And it's like, oh, yeah, I don't want to forget about this guy who's buried in ADP. It's such a valuable tool.

1:05:17Mike Wright:All right. That'll do it for today's show. So thank you for joining us. If you want to watch the entire mock draft on YouTube, you can do that. And that way you can see the entire draft board. That's youtube.com slash the fantasy football. We'll catch you next time. Goodbye.
