SUPER Mock Draft Episode! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 7/28

8:02Mike Wright:Yeah, and there's just a decent chance that this team's recipe is –

8:08Andy Holloway:Or, I'm sorry, they traded him away. Yes. And then they were replacing him. They spent the first on another defensive player.

8:14Mike Wright:But I don't know. I just feel like the identity of this team, we want to be like, oh, Mahomes is going to go deep again and find a bunch of – like, that's not Rashi Rice's game. and who you got to wait for Cyrus Allen news to I mean the other receiving options Travis Kelsey close to the line of scrimmage Rashi Rice is going to be close to the line of scrimmage Thornton baby yeah exactly so we're going to have Thornton's going to play he'll

8:40Jason Moore:be their their deep field stretcher but I I do agree that the majority of the work is going to be, you know, play defense, run the ball, pick up first downs in a slow, methodical way. And, you know, you're not going to, I don't think you're going to be able to stop. The offensive line is very good. You're not going to be able to stop Walker and Rice very easily. That combo of just like, I can get, you know, I can get six yards all the time.

9:07Mike Wright:Yeah, I think that if you want to protect Mahomes from himself, you get the ball out of his hands quickly you run the football you play defense um there you go rachi rice is doing

9:21Andy Holloway:great cleared to go according to andy reed okay out of jail well yeah yeah he was coming off an injury that we have to also remember he's gonna be really good if he if he's there and playing

9:33Mike Wright:which it seems like he will be so if you want to buy low on rice it might be the time kyle shanahan suffered non-life-threatening injuries in a car accident last week.

9:42Jason Moore:Crazy. It came out, he almost lost his eye. It's a very, very serious injury. This isn't like, oh no, he got in a fender bender. He's going to be, there's an interim head coach right now kind of taking over duties. I saw one report that there's no timeline on how long that is, including even the entire season so this is something to to really monitor i would imagine shanahan will you know i think he already made an appearance yeah i mean he's gonna he's going to be there leading but it's it's something to uh yeah for sure george kittle placed on pup to start training

10:19Mike Wright:camp with the achilles there's a report that jordan james appears to be the team's rb2 so that's uh next man up behind christian mccaffrey he's playing ahead of caitlin black Gorendo is infinitely on the IR. And, yeah, we got news that Christian Kirk is dealing with a calf injury. I also saw news about – Christian Kirk is a 49er, by the way. Right this moment he is. And there's a lot of talk that I was seeing that he won't be on the roster. Really? Yes, that they don't think he'll be there on day one.

10:50Jason Moore:Interesting. De 'Juan Stribling has been, I mean, very, very early into camp, but he's been doing good things. Brock Purdy's spoken very highly of him. So if you've got the young guns, and obviously they brought in Mike Evans as their veteran, maybe you don't need Kirk.

11:06Mike Wright:And Brandon Ayuk remains on the left squad list. That would be he left the squad. But he did buy a home in Washington. And I thought I saw something about a tattoo. Was that real? Oh, a tattoo by him about being on the commanders or something?

11:20Jason Moore:Yeah.

11:21Mike Wright:What is happening?

11:22Jason Moore:He definitely has been on social media basically talking about how he is a commander. I don't know how real it was. I mean, who knows? He is currently a 49er, and the 49ers have all the cards. He's not allowed to just be like, I'm not one anymore. No, it's super weird. He's just going to show up.

11:41Mike Wright:It's me, Washington Commander, Brandon Ayuk. I think a friend of the show, Harmon, was tweeting out. He's like, there's a non-zero chance he shows up at camp. Oh, for sure. For the Commanders. Yeah, right now while he's under contract for the 49ers. Yeah. All right, we want to jump right into the mock draft. it is a good time to remind you about the ultimate draft kit, which now has our new mock draft tool amongst all of our player rankings, our stat projections, uh, so many tools and resources in there. A hundred plus player profile videos, sleepers, breakouts, bus values, the value scout tool so much.

12:13Mike Wright:We just, uh,

12:13Jason Moore:this morning took another look at all those sleepers, breakouts, bus values, made some tweaks, some changes. We're always staying up to date.

12:20Mike Wright:Yep. So check that out. Ultimate draft kit.com. It is part of the ultimate foot clan membership as well. You would get that along with everything in season. If you want to check that out at jointhefoot.com.

12:32Jason Moore:The Fantasy Footballers Mock Draft.

12:38Mike Wright:It is a super mock draft, 12-team, half PPR, super flex mock on the show today. So, yeah, we get to play around with two quarterbacks, two running backs, two wide receivers, a tight end and a flex, four bench spots. Mike you drew the first spot in the draft I did Jason drew the fourth spot I'm at eight

13:01Andy Holloway:and uh away we go I have the first pick uh I have I know I'm pretty vocal about how I handle my strategy when it comes to quarterbacks but if I have the first pick I'm taking Josh Allen

13:17Mike Wright:yeah super flex you know Mike you you've talked a lot about where you wait for your second one oftentimes it'll see.

13:23Andy Holloway:Or even my first one, it just comes down to the tiers of like, I'm not going to take a tier three quarterback over a tier one superstar at a different position, just because I have to have two quarterbacks. Like I'll, I believe in figuring it out as the draft goes.

13:38Mike Wright:After Alan Lamar Jackson goes to Kurt, the Borgogen. So there you go.

13:43Andy Holloway:Kyle's, Kyle's going Gibbs. Yeah.

13:44Mike Wright:He took Jimmy or Gibbs at one Oh three.

13:46Jason Moore:Yeah. I don't, I don't blame him. I think that Gibbs being there, and I'm going to take Bijan here at four. I thought I was going to end up with Lamar Jackson. In a super flex, you do not have to have two quarterbacks. It's not a two-quarterback league. It's a super flex. Obviously, quarterbacks score more. You want to have two good quarterbacks, but when you can get an elite at any position, you take it. So I'm going to take Bijan here above my third-ranked quarterback because Bijan is obviously in that elite of the elite tier at a very scarce position as well.

14:19Mike Wright:Yeah, I mean, it makes sense, and we're on a run of non-quarterbacks here because of the value. Gibbs, Bijan to Jason, then Puka and Chase go next. Cash Money taking Drake May there. From the 99 and the 2000. The 107 spot. Puts me on the clock at 108.

14:37Jason Moore:I've been seeing Drake, man, I brought this up in another mock, you know, go third quite often now. Is that where you guys would take him?

14:48Mike Wright:Four-point touchdown leagues, I wouldn't. But in six-point, I have him at two.

14:54Andy Holloway:I would not, but it doesn't. The clump of the next quarterbacks, it doesn't bother me if you want to take May.

15:00Mike Wright:Yeah, I'm in a spot where it's a little bit tough at one-to-weight where I think I'm going to just take a quarterback. Um, I've got options here at the position, uh, a couple of the Russian quarterbacks hurts and Jaden Daniels, uh, Joe Burrow as well. And I, I don't know if I want to wait eight picks and see myself drop down a tier at the quarterback position. So I'm going to take a shot on Burrow and see what happens, uh, putting producer Borland on the clock for quarterbacks off for non quarterbacks off in the first eight picks. and you know again just talking super flex strategy it's a supply demand situation absolutely um 75 of the nfl's quarterbacks are starting in a 12 team super flex league it doesn't change everything about your strategy it changes the supply and demand factor for the quarterback position after my burrow pick jayden daniels goes to producer borland probably thinking the same thing Not sure if you wanted to wait through.

15:59Mike Wright:But value is where the next three picks went. JSN, Amon Ross St. Brown, and CeeDee Lamb wrapping up the first round. We're moving into the second round. We'll take a break, and I'll catch you up.

16:17Mike Wright:What's up, Foot Clan? You are confident and disciplined and focused on details, just like everyone here at the Fancy Footballers, right? Those are words you'd use to describe us. In other words, you were made to drive the 2026 Sierra 1500 Denali, a full-size pickup combining capability with elevated design and advanced technology.

17:13Jason Moore:if you're an nfl fan espn is where you need to be this season it's the biggest lineup they've ever put together. Monday night football every week, every game on NFL Network. Now also available with an ESPN unlimited plan. And for the first time ever, Super Bowl 61, marquee matchups, MVP quarterbacks, international games, the whole season start to finish. Football's on ESPN.

17:46Mike Wright:All right. Interesting strategy here by the three teams at the end of this Superflex mock draft. They went Cook, McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor with the next three picks. So they will have a long way in piecing together a quarterback position. Gentee goes at 204, puts me back on the clock. I'm going to go with a guy I don't know if I've ever drafted him in a mock draft we've ever done. I'm going to take Kenneth Walker. Oh. I'm going to take Kenneth Walker at 205. Jefferson was on the board. I'm still a little bit shaky there. Sure. Maybe that would have been the right pick, but I'm going to go ahead and take Ken Walker and solidify the running back spot.

18:33Mike Wright:Brock Bowers first tight end off the board goes next. Caleb Williams goes next, unsurprisingly, to Chicago fan Jake. Dak off the board in the second round to Julia. Jason, you're back on the clock. Bijan was your round one pick.

18:49Jason Moore:I am pretty thrilled here. The fact that I started with Bijan, my quarterback four in four-point passing touchdowns is still on the board here in the second round. That hurts. That is Jalen Hurts. in this format. I know he only had eight rushing touchdowns last year, but he's usually up at 12 to 15 the years prior, and my man Sean Mannion is going to get that offense turned around.

19:15Mike Wright:It was so... When we did the NFC East show, the comments were so polarizing. Oh, of course. It was like either, you're dumb not to take hurt super high, you're stupid, or it was like, this offense sucks, the quarterback sucks, no way Jay Brown is going to mean he sucks.

19:32Jason Moore:Very few people are purely neutral on Jalen Hurts. They either think that he is overrated or underrated.

19:39Mike Wright:Alright, two rounds in the books are about to be. Mike's on the clock. After the Bowers pick, Caleb, Dak, Jalen Hurts, and then Jefferson goes at 210 here. A-Chan, Devon A-Chan at 211. Mike, you got two picks back-to-back here. You got Josh Allen in the first. It seems like a nice spot to be in a super flex.

19:57Andy Holloway:It's not too bad. The running backs, by my estimation, there are still if you guys left who can be true top five difference makers. The wide receiver tier of guys right now is pretty compact, but I'm not leaving without a quarterback, or I'm sorry, a running back here. So I'm taking Chase Brown, who I feel like is about as safe as they come for fantasy with still having massive upside. And then it's funny. I think I talked about it on our last mock, but the click of Rasheed Rice doesn't feel great. You know when you get the dopamine hit from the draft pick, but he's going to be really solid for fantasy.

20:51Andy Holloway:So I'm going Chase Brown and Rasheed Rice as the foundation.

20:56Mike Wright:All right, Hampton goes next at 302. Wanted him. Saquon at 303, Jason.

21:03Jason Moore:you're back on the clock bijon and hurts it's funny because i feel like um i'm i'm very happy a lot of times when i'm my super flex strategies i'm going to take kind of the the hero quarterback and if i can get one of the elite quarterbacks then i will punt for a while i assumed i wasn't going to do that because i didn't spend my first pick on a quarterback i feel like i got him in the second in the second round anyways and then i got bijon to to boot like you got your quarterback in the second round i feel like i got an elite quarterback in the second as opposed to having to spend my first I was able to get that tier one quarterback I think that might be the fairest

21:36Mike Wright:debate on Hurts possible is is not whether he's good or not it's just whether he's in that tier

21:41Jason Moore:and I what you're saying I would say that it really he is one of those that is very scoring format dependent you know he he takes a hit in six point uh passing leagues and gets a bonus when it's only four I was between two players Amarian Hampton and Drake London Drake fell to me starting with what I feel like is a an elite running back an elite quarterback an elite wide receiver gives me flexibility going elsewhere well and I know one of your rules this year is you want as many Falcons as possible yeah you know a lot of times you're going to avoid a running back and wide receiver from the same team there are plenty of situations when you're talking about consolidation of targets where it's like it the whole team is that you know similar to I would take Brock Bowers and Gentee I wouldn't even question it they're a bad team it's just a consolidation of you know they're both going to score a ton of fantasy points drake london goes

22:31Mike Wright:at 304 followed by derrick henry um who's next we got jeremiah love and aj brown at 307 love that

22:40Jason Moore:pick in the aj brown may stack i assumed that's fun i assumed i was going to end up with aj brown

22:46Mike Wright:at my pick um but you took race well i have a strategy in mind here at 308 i'm taking trey McBride a round later than Brock Bowers as an elite positional advantage. I have a player I'm targeting at 405. I can't reveal it to all these fools on the show. Yeah, there's a bunch of clowns behind him. But I'll let you know if he makes it back around. It's eight picks away, producer Borland on the clock. Trey McBride is the pick to go with Burrow and Ken Walker. I feel good about that foundation. Gentey was the pick by Al last round. is Jacobs in the third. And we got a couple more quarterbacks off the board, the first quarterbacks for these teams at the end of the round.

23:28Mike Wright:Jackson Dart goes at 310 ahead of Herbert at 311, putting Brooksie on the clock for back-to-back picks. Goes Devontae Smith. So only two teams through three rounds have no quarterbacks. I mean, it's a way to go. Brooks has Lamb, Cook, Devontae Smith, and one more pick here to start the fourth round. Oh, he's tilting. Oh, Kyron. He's going zero quarterbacks. Betsy takes Trevor Lawrence at 4.02. I think that's a great pick. Nico Collins goes next at 4.03, putting producer Borland back on the clock. Our team so far, Bijan Hurts in London for Jason. Allen Brown and Rice for Mike. I'm at Burrow, Ken Walker, and Trey McBride.

24:13Mike Wright:My plan was – Did the guy make it? He did. He did. um my plan was to wait Fernando Mendoza it was no it uh it actually was a stack situation that I wanted with T Higgins oh I was waiting for T Higgins to come back through he was gonna be in consideration at 308 but with Trey McBride on the board I took him love that so I stacked Burrow and Higgins here in the fourth and um yeah I feel pretty good about it I mean I'm gonna definitely be keeping my eye on the quarterback position from here on out i mean we all have different approaches to that but it's going to be tier based that's what we put in the the udk if there is the final quarterback of a certain tier available to me in any of the next three four rounds that's where i'm going to go so um we're on a wide receiver run though here nico pickens i took higgins what's going on here then olave and tett mcmillan go off the board so uh pretty heavy running back run from the second to third, and now a pretty heavy wide receiver run here in the fourth round.

25:20Mike Wright:So, Julia on the clock. She has Puka, Dak, and Henry. She goes Stafford. She wanted her stack. Stafford would have been, I mean, definitely a target in two quarterback leagues for me, Stafford is. Okay. I feel like the age, he's going to get kicked down a lot of, you know, ADP boards. People are drafting off of ADP. that is definitely a super flex target for me but we got too many sharps in this in this mock

25:45Jason Moore:jason yeah um i'm i'm sitting here there's there's a lot of good players um there's a handful of running backs that i still like that i could pick with my next pick wide receivers you've got the question at this point in the draft where do you draft malik neighbors that will be interesting in all drafts going on right now and a handful of guys i like there in this because it's a super flex i'm going to punt the tight end position i just want to have more shots at either the quarterback or the running backs and wide receivers. I'm going to go super late on my tight end. I'll take the last one. I don't care.

26:19Jason Moore:That means, you know, I don't usually take two quarterbacks in the first four rounds in my super flexes, but I think that in a four-point-per-passing league, Bo Nix is, I mean, we're talking right now, I don't even think he's being drafted that is a quarterback one, and I think he's very undervalued. So here to be able to start with Hurts and Bo Nix in a super flex, I'm going to march along that path.

26:50Mike Wright:On your Laporta path to taking a tight end at the end named Sam Laporta, Bo Nix at 409, Brock Purdy at 410. Those were the two guys that I wanted there in the fifth if I was going to take one right now. Mike, you're back on the clock. Abuka goes right before you.

27:04Jason Moore:Abuka was the guy. I almost took him there, but I assumed because he was very low in ADP that he might come back to me. And, of course, like you said, we're in a room full of sharps.

27:16Mike Wright:Before Mike makes his pick, in the middle of this round, I wrote down the two picks I thought you were going to take at the end of this draft. Or at the end of this round.

27:22Andy Holloway:For my 4-5 turn? For your 4-5 turn. You did it early.

27:25Mike Wright:I wrote it. Yeah, I wrote it down very early. I bet you'll get at least one.

27:31Andy Holloway:Jason's peeking over.

27:32Mike Wright:Yeah, I mean, technically I wrote down two combos. Those are the two combos I thought.

27:36Andy Holloway:Well, wait a minute. So you wrote down like four guys?

27:39Mike Wright:Listen, no, I wrote down one guy twice, and then I just couldn't decide between the other one. All right, all right. So I wrote them both down. Okay. If I write enough names down, I will be right.

27:48Andy Holloway:That's where I was getting at.

27:49Mike Wright:But, you know, you just said you think I'll get it right. So where are you going here at the turn?

27:56Andy Holloway:So I'm taking a tight end, guys. So I'm taking Mr. Loveland. I want that positional advantage. I know it'll, it's like Trey McBride. So you have McBride and Higgins, and you're like, whoa, are you sure you want T. Higgins as your wide receiver one? He's, he is, but he's not. Like, Trey McBride is your wide receiver one. And T. Higgins, like, it's just a different way to approach it. But Mr. Loveland at 412, and man, Malik is interesting here to try and build a team that will just get better and better and better.

28:40Andy Holloway:But I know that Zay Flowers won't make it back to me, so I'm just going to take him.

28:45Mike Wright:Yeah, I mean, my entire prediction was predicated on you taking Luther Burden. And you went with his teammate, Colston Loveling.

28:51Andy Holloway:Because we say that. In the gang wars, in the street fight that is Luther Burden versus Roma Dunze, and we come out, we're snapping. I'm a burden guy I'm a Rome guy and then Colston Loveland just shows up with like a nuke he's like it was me all along you idiots I know you love Zay Flowers

29:15Mike Wright:I know you love Colston Loveland those are the picks Neighbors does go next Tyler Warren off the board in the fifth round three picks behind

29:25Andy Holloway:Kyle in shambles because I didn't let him get Loveland

29:28Mike Wright:he would never

29:29Andy Holloway:Oh, he would because he's trying to overcompensate for how much he hates him.

29:34Mike Wright:He hates him so much. Oh, that would have been the first step towards redemption in the public eye.

29:39Andy Holloway:It's the I'm taking him away from you. You don't get to have fun.

29:43Mike Wright:That's true. Jason, you're back on the clock. You do have the double quarterback so far. For what it's worth, through four rounds, there are, what is this, one, two, three teams that have both quarterbacks.

29:57Jason Moore:Yeah, and so for me.

29:58Andy Holloway:How do you feel with it being so a Buka, Loveland, Flowers, Neighbors, Warren? Do you feel like you got away with it? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

30:06Jason Moore:I mean, I did. I was between two players on the last time I picked other than in the quarterback position. It was the guy I'm going to take or a Buka. Oh, so the guy I was going to take already felt to me. So I'm pretty happy there. But the question that I would be having and that I do have when you have two quarterbacks here and you're at the fifth pick, you're going to be weak at one. By the time it comes back, my running back or wide receiver, I'm not going to like who's left. I'm just not. And so why I'm going to pick a wide receiver is because I've got Bijan. I think I can play more hero RB here, and so Drake London is a little bit weaker than Bijan, so I'm going to go wide receiver.

30:46Jason Moore:You guys know how much I love Geno Smith, so I will take Garrett Wilson.

30:51Andy Holloway:I had a feeling Garrett was going to be – I thought he might be the 409. um he was the target for me in this round but so Garrett I I know that's that's the direction you went did you consider Waddle there like were you no were you willing to move Waddle up a couple

31:07Jason Moore:spots to because of the stack yeah I he wasn't really a guy I was targeting I because I'm only drafting my wide receiver two I just really want a guaranteed like 150 targets I want that volume I do think Waddle has the shot to be good and obviously the stack is nice but I wouldn't take him over Wilson

31:27Mike Wright:after Garrett Wilson Scadaboo Brees Hall Jared Gaw and I did take Luther Burden I took him here at the 508 after Higgins in the previous round we'll see I have another player I'm hoping gets back to me I gotta wait 8 picks so producer Borland on the clock still with one quarterback as well jayden daniels in the first has jenty jacobs and pickens uh so here we are at 509 that's all the delaying i can do for you i don't know if you noticed what i was

32:02Jason Moore:doing there now i did that that actually put extra pressure on me thank you well you know i do what i

32:08Mike Wright:can baker mayfield which the did we share that news no i don't think so he has said he is going to play out the final year of his contract the negotiations didn't go where they wanted to go I mean and that's not a bad strategy as a quarterback where if you don't get the number

32:21Jason Moore:you want you're going to be in high demand I mean Kirk Cousins had great success kind of letting himself run out of contract they get franchised they get franchised that on yourself make a ton of money but also if the season goes poorly which it did last year you could end up with a team that moves on from you it's not a guarantee that they re-sign him next year but that's fine come be a Cardinal we'd be happy

32:50Mike Wright:Baker, McConkie McLaurin one of the reasons I took Burden by the way was because I was trying to see if McConkie could make it back through his ADP wasn't the next man out but I've risen quite a bit on Ladd McConkie Terry McLaurin and then Javante Williams Tim's rounding out the fifth round.

33:12Andy Holloway:Which after, so Brooks, you can chime in in the chat here. Al Borland takes Baker as his QB2, and then Brooks immediately shouted, Rogrets! So you were targeting Baker. So he ends up with Patrick Mahomes. That's what I mean of the, like, this is the part of the strategy, is you can push a little bit too far for how you want to play it.

33:40Jason Moore:I find that when you are playing the game of how late can I wait on a position, it is by far the most difficult strategy to do when you're on the turn. You have so many picks between your turn to pick that it's just you've got to get so lucky to be able to play that strategy and have it hit. I would much rather play with fire if I'm at the fourth pick or the eighth pick where I could see what happens between some of my picks.

34:15Mike Wright:All right. Well, Mahomes was the quarterback Brooks he went with to start the sixth, and Waddle, Bucky, drops to 6.03. So I had thought about taking him at 5.08. I was surprised he had dropped that far. He went way behind even like Scat and Brees Hall. Man. That could be a steal.

34:34Andy Holloway:Sorry, do you feel like you're in on Bucky?

34:39Mike Wright:I wouldn't use that language publicly.

34:42Andy Holloway:Well, I was saying he – Bucky is shaping up as one of those –

34:45Mike Wright:I'm somewhat – yes. I'm somewhat optimistic.

34:48Andy Holloway:Okay. I'm on that side. It's very just nebulous for me. I know a guy who's in, a friend of mine. Sometimes there will just be players. You've got to make a decision of, like, I'm okay being wrong. I'm okay passing Bucky because I know what can happen Pass the buck? Yeah, I know someone could take him and you're like, oh, Bucky Irving is back he's back to being a top 10 guy but the way that I'm feeling all the vibes and what's going on with the team and the addition of Kenneth Gainwell I think I'm just going to let other people take it

35:24Jason Moore:See, the nice thing about taking Bucky is a lot of times when you're in the middle rounds, like we are now in the sixth, you're getting a guy who's fine and is going to stay in the six but bucky is the type of guy that like you could be getting a steal you could be getting an actual 100 good value yes all right guys we're gonna

35:40Mike Wright:play a game for my pick here i'm on the clock burrow walker mcbride higgins and burden i have two players that i'm between and they are both sort of in the the last of a tier to me okay and i want you to to determine my pick and this is how it's going to work i'm going to give you the two names and then you're going to write on your little boards and if you both write the same name that's the pick if you don't i'll make the pick what if you what if one of your names is a guy i want then i'm gonna write the other name that i know you would do that um i'm between jordan love okay who i think is the final quarterback in in a tier i like here or travis h and jr who i think is the final running back in a tier here uh i have one running back i have one quarterback ken walker is my rb1 joe burrows my rb2 and i'm fine with either pick so if you if you guys you just said Joe Burrows, your RB2.

36:30Mike Wright:Well, he is also going to play quarterback for me. So go ahead and write the name down that you think I should take. The final in a tier for either one. If you don't agree, then I'll just side mess up.

36:41Andy Holloway:Okay. I wrote down what I think you should take. And you wrote different names. Love, and that was my way of getting out of that pick.

36:48Mike Wright:It didn't work. Mike wrote HN, and then I get to decide which of you I kind of like more. Fernando Mendoza. I'm going to take Travis HN. Yeah, that's right. It was close.

36:58Andy Holloway:That's right, I did it.

36:59Mike Wright:We'll see what happens at the quarterback position and how much people want to torment me. But I went A-chan because you couldn't agree. Jamison goes next. Adunze at 6.07. I always want to watch and see what happens. Oh, Julia. Julia took Christian Watson next. Mike was targeting Christian Watson, I see.

37:19Jason Moore:I am thrilled. And full disclosure, I definitely would have gone Travis H.N. Jr. You wrote it down because you wanted it. I need a running back. Yeah. I knew he'd do it. I knew he'd do it. I told you I'd do it. I know.

37:34Mike Wright:I'm trying to host a show. You're made of my word. Make it interesting and all that. Yeah, it was great.

37:38Jason Moore:And then you did the right thing and you took Travis A. Chan Jr., which bothered me because I thought there's no way the guy I really wanted would come back to me. The guy I almost took with my last pick and that was a far turn. It was A. Chan Jr.? No, it was Travo. I am in on Travion Henderson. Henderson falling to this point is pretty wild. I think the upside is my, you know, in the late sixth.

38:01Mike Wright:When you look at all the running backs that are off the board, that is the first name in a committee, in a true committee, that you don't know if he's the one or two. Unless Bucky is. Yeah, but I mean, I think, look, when the depth charts come out, I can promise you Travion will not be number one. Oh, no, no, he will not. So, Carnell Tate goes next. Love that pick. Kyle, love it. Carnell Tate, sneaky. Bashal Tootin goes at 6 '11". That probably would have been Mike's pick.

38:33Andy Holloway:Yeah. So, I was thinking about this. You know, how do I want to handle this turn here? Bashal Tootin and Watson would have... There's no way I could have passed on both of those guys. And DeAndre Swift is still there. I think that it's a very strong pick. but I'm on the turn here. I'm trying to look at the landscape. You know, the quarterbacks are starting to saturate out there, and there's a chance that this player might get back to me. But this is, I mean, this is going to feel fun. So I'm going to.

39:11Mike Wright:Oh, yeah. Go ahead.

39:13Andy Holloway:I'm going to take a stack right here. I'm taking Tyler Shuck.

39:18Mike Wright:Yeah, that's why I said go ahead.

39:19Andy Holloway:And I'm taking Jordan Tyson. I love it. Nice. That's fun. See? It's exactly where it's like, I think DeAndre Swift, for my rankings and projections, that's like it's more the practical thing to do. But I'm in the sixth, seventh turn here. Sometimes I'm going to have a little bit of fun.

39:35Mike Wright:And, of course, Jordan Love just went to Kyle, who lives to do stuff like that. I thought he might make it all the way back. That was one of the reasons to go Etienne as well, is that there were three teams, now four with Mike and Chuck, that already had the combo, so I only had to have three teams pass on Love. They didn't. Tyson, Evans, Love to start the seventh round. We'll take a break and continue.

41:25Andy Holloway:Visit snhu.edu slash footballers.

41:33Mike Wright:Well, Mr. Moore is back on the clock, and I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, I can pair Travion Henderson in the sixth with Ramondre in the sixth. Oh, lock up the Pats. Let's do it. In the seventh. It's so tempting. It has to be between Ramondre and DJ Moore for you. That's what I think.

41:50Jason Moore:It is between neither of those guys for sure. There's a wide receiver that I really want on the team. Honestly, I was very upset at Kurt here grabbing Mike Evans that late in the seventh. I was going to be thrilled to grab him. But with that pick, I think there's much more depth at wide receiver. The running backs will dry up very, very soon, and there's only a few left that I like. DeAndre Swift sitting there. We know he's going to be a running back, too. He's always a running back, too. To grab him as my running back three gives me a little bit of safety with the risk of Travo pick. So, B. John, Henderson, and Swift, I am solid at running back.

42:33Jason Moore:Happy with that. Do that solid movement again. I am solid.

42:37Mike Wright:Is that what that... That looks like a little bit of a blocking. Yeah, it's a tackle.

42:42Jason Moore:But the camera's very narrow, so I got to get it in here. Got to get in tight.

42:45Andy Holloway:Yeah, you're going inside technique.

42:46Jason Moore:I'm going inside the man boobs, not inside the armpits. I'm separating.

42:53Andy Holloway:You better hope that guy doesn't have a spin move. Yeah. Because I think you're in big, big trouble. I'll be on the ground.

42:57Mike Wright:You ever ask a guy to make a movement, and then he does it like 75 times, and you regret it? You ask for it.

43:02Andy Holloway:Yeah.

43:03Mike Wright:All right. Jason goes Swift. I would have taken Judkins.

43:07Jason Moore:It was between Swift and Judkins 100%. The reason I went Swift was solely because I went Travion Henderson. I felt like Swift was the more safe pick and Travion was a risky pick.

43:20Mike Wright:Did you just call him Quinshawn Buskins? Yeah. I've been holding back my feelings way too long.

43:25Andy Holloway:I'm going to let it out. I know, but you're – I'm going to let it out. I am so out. They're wrong feelings. Do you know what I mean? Which part is the part you like? The complete and total lack of a quarterback, potentially the worst offensive line in the NFL, the fact that their defense is going to stink and they're going to be getting blown out and have to throw.

43:46Mike Wright:How many of those things were true last year? Two.

43:50Andy Holloway:Two of the three. So you think the defense was very intact last year.

43:56Mike Wright:It was going to be impacted. Yeah. But Judkins was a special player when he was on the field. in my opinion. But I get it. And he goes in the seventh. Sam Darnold goes next. David Montgomery at 7.07 puts me back on the clock.

44:15Mike Wright:Here's my problem. My problem is that the actual QB, well, it's not a problem. Maybe it's a solution. The next quarterback for my team is just not well thought of. The quarterback that I actually want is just not somebody I think that anybody really wants. So I guess I'll just keep waiting.

44:34Jason Moore:No, I know who it is, and I dare you. I think I keep waiting. I think I know who it is based on what you're saying, but it is surprising.

44:41Mike Wright:I'm setting myself up in this draft to be ruined. Bryce Young. I'm going to take Marvin Harrison Jr. here. I'm going to take Marv in the seventh round.

44:49Andy Holloway:Marv, already getting hurt.

44:50Mike Wright:I like it. Yeah, all those muscles not helping him with his. more muscles to get hurt.

44:57Andy Holloway:Upper body is fine.

44:59Mike Wright:You can be too fast. We used to play in a flag football league. We wouldn't get hurt. Oh, I couldn't injure myself. We're not quick enough, but the quick young kids, they're moving too fast.

45:09Jason Moore:Yeah. If you are slow, it is very difficult to get injured. And your quarterback just went, by the way.

45:15Mike Wright:Yeah, it's fine.

45:17Andy Holloway:Also, you are so in on Arizona.

45:21Mike Wright:Yeah, I've got a pair. um jadarian price goes next brian thomas jr tucker craft michael wilson to round out the seventh daniel jones remandre and then malik willis because the i i should know that the people that we're drafting with just they're those kind of people like yeah like the falcon it's like

45:42Andy Holloway:he's a waste to include here i because he just lives to troll i couldn't agree more like anybody

45:49Mike Wright:with integrity.

45:50Jason Moore:Malik Willis. His icon is a toilet.

45:52Mike Wright:He would have allowed this situation to proceed. Malik Willis right there. I mean Malik Willis, it is a four point per touchdown league.

46:00Jason Moore:It's actually a pretty good pick. Well of course it is because I gave him the idea. I can't believe Andy. I gave him the idea. To be fair, when you were saying that, I thought you were talking about C.J. Stroud, a player that nobody really likes that you might have next on your list. So I don't think it was a guarantee. You didn't say I want Malik Nabors. or Malik Willis.

46:19Mike Wright:Well, maybe you couldn't put the clues together, but that guy could. I promise you that. You're giving him a lot of credit right now. He made it very, very clear. I'll take Kyler here in the eighth round. Minnesota's backup? Fannin went just before. The Falcon would like you to know it wasn't a troll. He was never making it back. He was in his queue. And let me just say this.

46:41Jason Moore:Kyler's a better pick than Malik Willis.

46:42Mike Wright:You're a liar. You're lying. You're lying. You're the troll. and you troll. Ooh. Maybe. All right. You have to pay the toll. I took Kyler, and I'm not thrilled. Jalen Warren, Blake Corum, Sam Laporta. Now that's a troll, too.

47:00Jason Moore:That did feel like a troll trying to snag my Sammy L right before me. But I said I'm going to take the last one. I don't care. I'm going to show my fearlessness or stupidity. by I will take my last pick will be my tight end. In the meantime, the wide receiver that I wanted last round came back to me. This draft has worked out pretty well most of the time. I want the stack. Mike, you got the Tyler Shuck rookie stack with Jordan Tyson. I took Jalen Hurts early. I'm taking Makai Lemon, the other one of the top three rookie wide receivers this year. And when he is now my wide receiver three, I feel pretty good about it.

47:44Mike Wright:All right, Mike, you're back on the clock after Laporta went lim into Jason, DJ Moore, and Parker Washington.

47:50Andy Holloway:We're back on the clock. I know one of my picks for sure. I have been riding Chase Brown as my hero running back. And then the skies, they just light up. R.J. Harvey. And J.K. Dobbins is there for me at 8-12.

48:08Jason Moore:He is always your late-round running back that works well for your team.

48:14Andy Holloway:Oh, I was sweating. It's getting a little sweaty there, guys. So then the remainders of the running back position, Harvey's still there. For whatever reason, I want all of the Denver Broncos. Kyle Manungai, it feels a bit too early for him. although it could work out. Kenneth Gainwell is interesting. Wide receiver-wise, the tier here is pretty flat of DK Metcalf, which, hey, it's not nothing, but there was Mike McCarthy was saying, oh, we're going to move DK Metcalf around.

48:56Mike Wright:You're like, oh, thank you. Like from the field to the bench? No, just actually around on the –

49:04Andy Holloway:Nice. Get your giant some mismatches. It seems like a really good idea.

49:14Andy Holloway:And we're in a tough spot here. I know that he is on the pup. I don't love that. But it's the ninth, and I'm going to take Alec Pierce.

49:24Mike Wright:Well, that's unfortunate.

49:27Jason Moore:That's a great pick this late in the ninth. If you are one of the believers, like I know both you and Andy are. Or just believe in the money.

49:37Andy Holloway:I believe in the talent, but it's like money-wise, you've got to get those targets up unless you are just really, really bad at your job.

49:47Mike Wright:Yeah, I mean, it's a guarantee. I bet my life on it. Oh. Whoa. It is 100 % guarantee. I mean. Wait, what is the guarantee? That he gets his targets up after getting$100 and something million and Michael Pittman gets traded away. Yeah, he'll definitely get his targets up for sure. Yeah. Or I'm dead. All right, Piers. I just want to make that bet. Jonathan Brooks. All right, we got to wrap this draft up. We got four rounds left, Jason. You're on the clock. We'll speed it up.

50:11Jason Moore:I didn't take the Waddle stack. This is the first time I've drafted him, but I'm going to take Cortland Sutton here in the ninth round to stack with Bo Nix. That's not bad. I'll go Lemon and Sutton back-to-back stack picks. It's too bad there's not a line. Nice.

50:26Mike Wright:Quentin Johnston, Aranda Gadsden, and Tony Pollard. And Citrus. I will take Chuba Hubbard here, the starting running back for Carolina. Jonathan Brooks went five picks ahead of him. It was kind of interesting. Producer Borland on the clock. He goes DK Metcalf and RJ Harvey at 9-10. RJ Harvey at 9-10

50:47Andy Holloway:is perfectly fine. Everything about the Broncos situation was just Harvey going in the fourth and Dobbins going later. The ADP has kind of corrected itself although they both just go later now. There's value.

51:03Mike Wright:agreed all right next metcalf harvey pearsall kittle kittle at 912 that's fun good value gonna have to find another starter maybe for the start of the year jacoby brissette i mean if

51:16Andy Holloway:the i think a nice thing about george kittle which we we haven't talked about a ton this year is because i like my confidence in kittle being ready to go and being an impact player sooner it's growing. But if Kittle misses time Jake Tonjes McBasketball filled in unbelievable for George Kittle. If you have to stream your tight end position and it's Brock Purdy's tight end in the Shanahan system you're gonna get points. Jacoby goes

51:46Mike Wright:in the 10th round so Brooks who didn't take a quarterback for the first five picks ends up with Mahomes, Daniel Jones and Jacoby. Honestly? Not that bad.

51:54Andy Holloway:That's not that bad. Between those three, you should be able to stream your starting two pretty easily.

52:02Mike Wright:Gainwell. Gainwell goes in the 10th. C.J. Stroud, Fernando Mendoza. Putting me back on the clock. I have both of the backfield mates in Minnesota sitting there. So I could make a decision with Jordan Mason or Aaron Jones. It's a team that wants to run the ball a lot this year. The wide receiver position. You know, Wandale is sitting out there. Jaden Reed with the upside in Green Bay or I could take a shot and add a third quarterback

52:29Andy Holloway:I was going to say you could add the apparently the starting running back for the Arizona Cardinals

52:35Mike Wright:right James Conner is there still available we didn't even talk about that because it's not worth talking about I'm alluding to it right now yeah the fact that the fake offensive coordinator of the Cardinals came out to say oh Conner you know he's good and then the Jeremiah Love you know he's a rookie.

52:54Andy Holloway:I will. How is his voice? Oh, yeah, for sure. I will bring it up because I was reminded of people like, hey, you guys, like Matt Nagy. We give Matt Nagy just so much crap of how is this person getting a job. I mean, shout out to Nathaniel Hackett. How's my man still? How are you getting jobs? How are you still getting jobs? That was a long time ago when you were good. And it was Aaron Rodgers. It's a little bit less because he won't be – I know he's the OC. Wink. So it won't necessarily be going his way. But stop giving him jobs.

53:31Mike Wright:I went with Jordan Mason here in the 10th round. Yeah, that's a great pick. Monongai goes next, Jacoby Myers and Aaron Jones.

53:37Jason Moore:There was no way I could not take Jordan Mason if he came to me. He is the last – I think he's the starter, the last one of the league here. I have him ahead of Aaron Jones personally. I think is a phenomenal pick in the 10th round.

53:50Mike Wright:Well, there's a phenomenal pick available to you in the 10th round, whether you find it or not. We'll see. But there's somebody that is a must pick for you.

53:58Jason Moore:You've got to find Waldo. Well, I think there's a handful of guys. I've got four guys in my queue that I really like. One guy that I think will come back to me. But when I look at the quarterback position in the Superflex League, you're running out of options. I mean, there's very few starters left um in fact if you want to say how many starters that you're confident not confident but like it's realistic that they finished the entire season um there's pretty much just there's one or two yeah bryce young maybe aaron rogers however your guy your guy my guy oh gino bro the stack no i know and i am doing that i am taking the stack but i'm But I'm not taking Geno.

54:42Jason Moore:I'm taking Tua. I think Tua is better. And he will stack. Commit to your bit. He stacks with Drake London. He doesn't know what his bit is. It's not my bit. It's your guys' bit.

54:56Mike Wright:I mean, he doesn't know what's going on.

54:57Jason Moore:My bit is just that the Jets will have a lot more passing yards and opportunities than they did last year.

55:04Mike Wright:Will they have more than Elena?

55:07Jason Moore:Probably not. Okay. Which is why I took Tua.

55:10Mike Wright:Pittman and Jaden Reed. Love the Jaden Reed pick there. Mike, you're on the clock. Not last two picks, but almost.

55:16Andy Holloway:We're pretty close here. Got to make the choice on the Washington running back. As of right now, I'll go Bill. And then, ooh, gross. I got to take it. I want to have a third starting quarterback. Because, I mean, we're at the point where most players are pretty gross. I would have taken Tua if Jason had not so in the meantime I'll just take Bryce Young

55:43Mike Wright:all right Bryce Young off the board and there goes the player that I think was the better difference maker to your roster Jason I think if you had taken Kyle Pitts at 10-0-9 that would have been Kyle Pitts as the tight end 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 tight end 10 off the board

56:01Jason Moore:but you went to yeah I'm committing to my bit of I will take with my last pick the tight end so I

56:08Mike Wright:will avoid it I'm not even looking now but why do that bit uh why decide that you're going to take him with your last pick when lose the value on to like Kyle Pitts will make a massive impact to at this point it would be that's a dumb bit uh it could it absolutely could be or uh there's you

56:27Jason Moore:know what is the difference between him and kelsey this year but there's actually a there's a tight end i am targeting that i think is a better player and has a chance to be a breakout so we'll see if

56:38Mike Wright:i get him and that's the falcons only strategy yeah i do that i don't want conception off the

56:44Jason Moore:board you're back on the clock i'm gonna take a guy that i mean i think alec pierce is a great pick if that's what you believe i believe it's going to be josh downs which means this is an even better pick. What does that mean?

56:55Mike Wright:You believe it's going to be Josh Downs? You believe he's going to be better than Pierce?

56:59Jason Moore:I believe that the player who is stepping up as the main possession-wide receiver is going to be Josh Downs, the larger benefactor of the departure of Michael Pittman. I think that that play style that Josh Downs takes a larger step up than Alec. Alec Pierce will take a step up for sure. I think Josh Downs takes a much larger step up for what they previously did. who's better for fantasy who's better for fantasy I think Alec Pierce scores more fantasy points this year I've got him ahead in my rankings and I would have taken him ahead of Josh Downs but I got him rounds later gotcha

57:37Mike Wright:okay I'm taking Matthew Golden here

57:40Jason Moore:ooh yeah someone has to do it in the 11th round

57:42Mike Wright:we don't Godwin, Rico, Wondale went first I went Matthew Golden Dobbs goes next Rashad White Jordan Addison and Xavier Worthy and we're on to the 12th round our final round Brenton Strange goes in the 12th round here Aaron Rodgers at 12-02 Mark Andrews at 12-03 and then Al never knows he's on the clock but he is he is on the clock I really let you off the hook for so long but we're here in the 12th it's time to make some moves that's when your hardest decisions come in the 12th no I by the way I passed on a third quarterback there because i could have taken anna rogers but to me the uh the decision that i made was that i'll take mccarthy with my last pick oh okay because then i have the starter the starter for the the vikings just in case something happens and i feel like we've seen rogers for so many years now be like so irrelevant for fantasy that kyler or mccarthy seem better to me but Gino goes next Travis Hunter and Jordan James and Jason your final pick is a tight end.

58:53Jason Moore:It is and I'm very happy. Nope it's Dalton Kincaid I'm looking for upside here I think that what we've seen on a per route basis from Kincaid has been awesome but he's been very injured the last two years the healthiest he's been this year and I think he could genuinely be a breakout this year like he could be the guy that is in the top five at tight end at the end of the year ahead of Pitts that's how I see it. Has he ever had a fully healthy season yet?

59:19Mike Wright:No not really

59:20Andy Holloway:he's been very banged up. He's made out of soggy newspaper

59:24Mike Wright:he missed three games in 24 he missed like 6 in 25

59:29Jason Moore:and last year he was so banged up that even when he was playing it was like what was his percentage of snaps was

59:36Andy Holloway:crazy low. Yeah but so that made his per run metrics were top tier. So we're saying Travis Kelsey is not getting drafted

59:44Mike Wright:Not unless you take him right here. I'm not going to. I got Mr. Lovland.

59:48Andy Holloway:Stribling is a really solid pick there. And I think timing of when you are doing your drafts also can influence how you're going to make your picks. So I will take what I think is the best insurance running back in the NFL. I will take Tank Bigsby.

1:00:06Mike Wright:All right. We have wrapped up our Super Flex Mock Draft. My roster, Joe Burrow as my QB1. the Minnesota quarterback as my QB to Kyler and McCarthy running backs of Ken Walker, Travis H. And Jr. Chuba Hubbard and Jordan Mason with a receiving core of Higgins, Burden, Harrison, Golden and Trey McBride as my tight end.

1:00:29Jason Moore:I've got Jalen Hurts and Bo Nix as my starting quarterbacks with Tua behind them. My running backs are Bijan Robinson, Travion Henderson and DeAndre Swift in it. Wide receiver, Drake London, Garrett Wilson, Makai Lemon. Cortland Sutton and Josh Downs with Dalton Kincaid as my tight end.

1:00:47Andy Holloway:I got Josh Allen, Tyler Shuck, Bryce Young are my quarterbacks, Chase Brown, J.K. Dobbins, Bill Krosky-Meritt, and then the insurance tank Bigsby at running back, Rasheed Rice, Zay Flowers, Jordan Tyson, Alec Pierce, and then Mr. Loveland as my tight end.

1:01:04Mike Wright:All right. Well, feel free to weigh in on all of our mistakes on the YouTube channel or on X wherever you desire. we'll be back with another episode I think Unsolved Mysteries coming up on the Thursday episode and listen to this the five shows a week begins in August and it begins on Monday with an ice and fire oh baby
