1 00:00:12,900 --> 00:00:15,600 All right, guys, we have entered the home stretch. 2 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:20,100 This is likely to be our last minisode on our first ffp. 3 00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:22,100 See Main Event, slow draft and less. 4 00:00:22,100 --> 00:00:25,300 The people demand, one on our kicker a defense election, in 5 00:00:25,300 --> 00:00:27,400 which case, I'm going to tell you to fuck right off because 6 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,000 we're not doing that. But we have made A good amount 7 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,700 of pick since we last talked. I believe we last left you guys 8 00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:37,200 in the 13th round where we through ATP to the wind. 9 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,800 We said, why don't we just live a little and selected Jerick 10 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,200 McKinnon? And since then guys, we've added 11 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,100 four running backs and maybe a controversial wide receiver to R 12 00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:47,300 0 r. B build here. 13 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,000 Yeah, the wide receiver debate was fun. 14 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,000 Definitely a little bit of a detour reverse detour. 15 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,400 When we got this, lady was all running backs to close out the 16 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:03,900 tour for one will Fuller. Yeah, and Gretch I know you were 17 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,700 I think of us three. You were the one that we're kind 18 00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:09,200 of most hesitant about the selection, just relative to our 19 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,100 needs with this bill. Why don't we just talk about 20 00:01:12,100 --> 00:01:14,200 that there before? I mean we can talk about the 21 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,400 running backs but it was obvious. 22 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,300 We were always going to grab a bunch of running backs but not 23 00:01:17,300 --> 00:01:20,100 so obvious that we would add one more wide receiver here. 24 00:01:20,900 --> 00:01:22,900 Yeah, we so we took seven turnovers in the first 10 25 00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:25,100 Rounds. When we were in sort of the 89 26 00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:27,800 range, we took our first running back Singletary. 27 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,400 Part of our comfort doing that. Instead of just targeting to 28 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,200 rookie receivers of that point was we said, you know, maybe 29 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,500 there will be a receiver who falls at we'd like to grab Pete. 30 00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:39,900 I think on one of the earlier minisodes you actually ask like 31 00:01:39,900 --> 00:01:42,200 who are some of the receivers. We might like it was 32 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,600 interesting. Then in the 10th, we did get 33 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,800 access to that with Claypool and we took Claypool. 34 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,900 So when we wind up with a seventh receiver in the first 35 00:01:49,900 --> 00:01:55,100 ten rounds, definitely like the strength of our receivers. 36 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,900 I don't hate the addition of Fuller, but the point that I was 37 00:01:58,900 --> 00:02:01,600 making or kind of trying to make him, didn't know how much I 38 00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:05,200 believe that our felt it at the end I was like let's just go 39 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,100 for, that's where my heart is because I definitely wanted to 40 00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:12,900 just, add will Fuller but I might concern was like, some of 41 00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:16,200 the upside of Fuller maybe was mitigated on this build in the 42 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,800 sense that if he does sign somewhere, really exciting. 43 00:02:19,300 --> 00:02:21,900 There are scenarios where he's like a fourth-round ATP type 44 00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:24,200 receiver and that's an incredible. 45 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,100 Those are really, you know, but pie-in-the-sky scenarios think 46 00:02:28,100 --> 00:02:30,700 there are some as well where he becomes like an eighth or ninth 47 00:02:30,700 --> 00:02:33,900 round type. Larry joins a team late is good. 48 00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:39,000 We think he's very good. Say he adds you know, signs with 49 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,000 the Packers and is playing a decent amount but not a ton. 50 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,700 Maybe right away is making some plays, but we don't really feel 51 00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:48,000 comfortable playing him. We wouldn't cut him because he's 52 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,500 on the Packers. And so some of those types of 53 00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:54,700 scenarios where I felt like, then we wind up with these 54 00:02:54,700 --> 00:02:56,400 eight. Basically uncuttable receivers 55 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,100 because I feel like our other seven, probably are close to 56 00:02:59,100 --> 00:03:01,000 inaudible Pat, you made a good point that, you know, we can 57 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,400 thirst Was what we might be fighting. 58 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,300 Look at the chase Claypool, but Gary Wilson is going to be 59 00:03:05,300 --> 00:03:07,200 locked in. Devon system is going to be 60 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,500 locked in long-term injuries happen, boss happened, things do 61 00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:12,500 happen. But I did feel like this was a 62 00:03:12,508 --> 00:03:17,000 build we're especially because we are in July as well. 63 00:03:17,700 --> 00:03:20,200 A lot of these running backs are just scratch off tickets where 64 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,800 we're taking shots on guys. You know, we just took James 65 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,800 White. It was an interesting pick. 66 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,900 He's been really getting hammered in the news lately. 67 00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:30,400 In terms of not necessarily being ready at the same time, we 68 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,500 got him in the 18th. There's no way he goes the 18th 69 00:03:32,500 --> 00:03:33,800 round if he's ready Week 1, right. 70 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,400 And if he is ready, week one, it's probably a pretty key part 71 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,800 of this build. So we just took that shot will 72 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,000 probably cut him that turns into a churn roster spot. 73 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,700 We do have a 1, QB, one tight end build. 74 00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:49,100 We're going to probably almost certainly given be looking for, 75 00:03:49,100 --> 00:03:52,100 you know, a number two, tight end in the cesium in the early 76 00:03:52,100 --> 00:03:54,400 part of the Season, get a little bit of depth that the premium 77 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,000 position. I would assume at some point be 78 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000 looking at QV 2 s maybe not right away. 79 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,000 Kyle with the Late by we're just going to probably be writing 80 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,800 Kyler. A period but I was just sort of 81 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,800 doing some math on the roster and saying, okay if we have 82 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,400 eight sort of uncuttable receivers if we do start to turn 83 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,300 a little bit, some potential tight ends to try to hit 84 00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:17,899 somebody, are we going to have enough space to turn as many 85 00:04:17,899 --> 00:04:21,399 running backs as one we do end up here with an 8 running back 86 00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:23,000 build. But my case was basically, let's 87 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,500 take nine in July. Let's take all of these upside 88 00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:28,600 shots that we can all the way through, the rest of the draft 89 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,000 will cut some. And also, you can you Can catch 90 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,700 some receivers on waivers in season you'll get like the you 91 00:04:36,700 --> 00:04:39,000 know the League's where Chauhan dachshund starts slow. 92 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,100 He gets cut you know and we're not going to be in a position 93 00:04:41,100 --> 00:04:43,800 probably to add that type of a player but we could have thrown 94 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,100 someone like that onto the back of this roster in season. 95 00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:48,500 Potentially, that was another thing. 96 00:04:48,500 --> 00:04:51,300 You know, I was trying to think through so just that that 97 00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:56,900 balance of I want to hit zero or be in July with volume if 98 00:04:56,900 --> 00:04:59,500 possible and knowing that we're going to cut three or four of 99 00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:01,400 these guys in the first two weeks. 100 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,800 Anyway, Yet. I think that all makes a lot of 101 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,800 sense that think with Fuller, they kept drawing me to him was 102 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,600 like, I've always been kind of like, shocks, like continually 103 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,800 shocked every year, by how quickly we're bidding on wide 104 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,700 receivers, on waivers, on these types of bills were like, you 105 00:05:20,700 --> 00:05:24,100 know, like will Fuller think of willful or where to hit like a 106 00:05:24,100 --> 00:05:25,900 that eighth, ninth round scenario? 107 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,100 You know, I think we did pretty aggressively to get him onto 108 00:05:30,100 --> 00:05:34,700 this team. Particularly if like, it's by, 109 00:05:34,700 --> 00:05:37,300 like, week one, or two like that type of archetype, were like, oh 110 00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:38,600 my God, like this guy's available. 111 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,900 We need him, just because we're wrong about so much more than we 112 00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:43,800 think are going to be wrong about. 113 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,100 And there's so many injuries. So that's kind of one of the 114 00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:48,700 things that I was trying to think through with adding the 115 00:05:48,700 --> 00:05:53,200 luxury pick wide receiver is like, you know, like questions 116 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,800 in there good. The question I had with that was 117 00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:00,800 Who's funny? I brought up like a faint 118 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,900 memory, I had of doing some drafts of the last your office. 119 00:06:03,900 --> 00:06:05,700 You listen, Jeff with you guys the year before, you guys had a 120 00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:09,300 lot of Reger and visca the year before and you had a lot of 121 00:06:09,300 --> 00:06:11,900 these teams that we had a couple spots devoted the guys that you 122 00:06:11,900 --> 00:06:17,800 weren't cutting and so that was an experience that I was in with 123 00:06:17,900 --> 00:06:19,900 and so I felt like maybe we had slightly different opinions, 124 00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:24,000 their injury, interestingly enough, but adding Fuller if he 125 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,800 does hit, what do we do then? If there's a player like Fuller, 126 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,800 Like you said or like Dotson gets cut, do you want to add a 127 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:36,200 ninth to this bill? Well, my thought on that would 128 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:42,000 be that once that decision comes up that there's going to be 129 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,900 multiple running backs, we're completely content moving on 130 00:06:46,100 --> 00:06:49,300 from you because ultimately, we're just going to be churning, 131 00:06:49,300 --> 00:06:52,100 a lot of these guys. Like even the the guys we like 132 00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:54,100 Singletary, Carter gain. Well, McKinnon. 133 00:06:54,100 --> 00:06:56,800 I would say, I mean, even a couple of those guys are 134 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,300 probably gonna fly. Op it in a big way. 135 00:06:59,300 --> 00:07:03,400 So I do think it goes back to that thing of like we like the 136 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,500 guys we've drafted and so it's harder for us to Envision them 137 00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:09,300 failing but like the reality is like, a lot of these guys are 138 00:07:09,308 --> 00:07:12,600 going to be cuttable or at least more guys than we initially 139 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,200 think, definitely. But I'm also, okay, like bulking 140 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,600 up the number of roster spots that we have one wide receivers 141 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:25,200 29, it's some point, but that doesn't have to be like been 142 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,400 devoted permanently to a wide receiver, like I could see some 143 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,700 areas where we're like, you know, do we really want to hold 144 00:07:32,700 --> 00:07:34,900 them out to Smith through his by week? 145 00:07:35,100 --> 00:07:38,200 You know, if he's not really doing much, that would be really 146 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,200 disappointing scenario, but like wouldn't be the most 147 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,900 disappointing scenario I've ever run into. 148 00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:46,900 So you know it's are just like that bad memories. 149 00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:54,600 I'm not but you know, your kind of I think it's okay if we go to 150 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,700 9 then we then maybe at some point we only have six or seven, 151 00:07:58,700 --> 00:08:00,600 you know what I mean? Like, we'll probably probably 152 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,000 kind of squiggle around in terms of the roster and I think that 153 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,000 makes more sense in the days following when we were chatting 154 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,800 about that in our chat, I've definitely come back around at. 155 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,000 I guess my concern was say, we're at nine receivers were up 156 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,000 to two tight ends. I think there's times work and 157 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,100 make some sense to have a second kicker or a second D, but you're 158 00:08:21,100 --> 00:08:22,900 not going to be able to have it really do that. 159 00:08:23,500 --> 00:08:25,700 There could be a potential quarterback that looks like 160 00:08:25,700 --> 00:08:27,700 somebody we want to take a stab on maybe Kyle. 161 00:08:27,900 --> 00:08:30,900 Picks up an Iggy injury or something, but we won't really 162 00:08:30,900 --> 00:08:33,100 have the flexibility. I think without getting down to, 163 00:08:33,100 --> 00:08:37,200 like, five or four running backs and what I was thinking through, 164 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,700 what this build was do we want to have as much roster 165 00:08:40,700 --> 00:08:45,200 flexibility as possible to really take shots at running 166 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,100 back throughout the first month? You know, like seven spots 167 00:08:48,100 --> 00:08:51,400 devoted to it. Well in a way that's an argument 168 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,400 that Fuller, I think, you know, Fuller is a much better pick. 169 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,600 I think for this build than Julio Jones and I've taken a 170 00:08:57,608 --> 00:09:00,700 lot. Out of Julio in in Best Buy have 171 00:09:00,700 --> 00:09:03,900 more Julio than Fuller. I think he's a way better pick 172 00:09:03,900 --> 00:09:07,000 Fuller than Odell Beckham. Odell Beckham your be holding 173 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,800 for up, me Autobots. Yeah, Waiver Wires here. 174 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:13,100 I don't so because Fuller's a lot of the downside risk with 175 00:09:13,100 --> 00:09:15,900 him is stuff that will know about before the first preseason 176 00:09:15,900 --> 00:09:17,300 run. Like if he hasn't signed by then 177 00:09:17,300 --> 00:09:19,800 he's the easiest cut ever. I mean, there's a chance he like 178 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,500 retire, so we don't know what the deal is with Fuller. 179 00:09:22,500 --> 00:09:23,600 No one's heard from her in forever. 180 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:28,200 So I think like, He does. I agree with you that like there 181 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,700 are scenarios where he lands on like Baltimore and we're like 182 00:09:31,700 --> 00:09:34,800 What do we do now? You know like I maybe we hold a 183 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,800 weak one but now we lost this roster spot you know do we cut 184 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:38,700 them? Do we lose this? 185 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,700 We kind of got a good outcome but we still lost a chance at 186 00:09:41,700 --> 00:09:45,300 like a guy like Kenyan Drake or whatever so it's not going to be 187 00:09:45,300 --> 00:09:49,400 like all super clean but I do think he gives us some really 188 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,400 nice upside super-clean scenarios and some really nice 189 00:09:52,700 --> 00:09:55,200 clean downside scenarios where we just move on. 190 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,200 Yeah. And the other thing that kind of 191 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,300 really compelled me with this will Fuller thing is almost from 192 00:10:03,300 --> 00:10:07,200 a portfolio, standpoint and a drafting window standpoint. 193 00:10:07,300 --> 00:10:10,600 And just knowing that the will Fuller stuff is like fairly 194 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,300 binary where if he signs with the Packers or the Ravens 195 00:10:14,300 --> 00:10:19,800 tomorrow like this discount slam shut and maybe he does get 196 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,700 pushed up to a point where we feel there's too much 197 00:10:21,700 --> 00:10:23,800 opportunity cost like. Hey, we'd rather have Garrett 198 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,400 Wilson then will Fuller. And so like this is our One 199 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,500 chance to get a cheap share of him whereas I understand what 200 00:10:30,508 --> 00:10:32,600 you're saying about like the visca the rhaegar and the guys 201 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:38,300 we like Hammer over and over but it does seem less likely that 202 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,700 we'll be in that spot this year. Just based on when we finally 203 00:10:42,700 --> 00:10:45,600 kind of get news on him that were getting a really unique 204 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,100 moment in time with his current value and that was something we 205 00:10:49,100 --> 00:10:54,200 talked to as well and I put it that way like is should we be 206 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,800 targeting Fuller and basically every draft that we Get him at a 207 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,800 good price and Pat your argument was was like yeah. 208 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,800 And so that's what I was like. All right, well I mean maybe I 209 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,100 guess I don't necessarily disagree because if we weren't 210 00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:07,000 then this is from a portfolio perspective. 211 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,100 This is the team that I think I wouldn't want him on but almost 212 00:11:10,100 --> 00:11:13,400 any other team where we take any kind of early running back and 213 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,500 take, you know, two before round 10 you're right, we only had one 214 00:11:17,500 --> 00:11:22,400 before onset on this one, is that's that would be a scenario 215 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,200 where I would be very comfortable. 216 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,200 Adding Fuller, even as the eighth receiver When, you know, 217 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:33,100 say our seventh isn't Claypool, it's whoever you know, Tim 218 00:11:33,100 --> 00:11:35,100 Patrick, I don't know. I, hopefully, it's like if 219 00:11:35,100 --> 00:11:37,500 Patrick but somebody like that in. 220 00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:39,800 I do think it. I do think it's closed. 221 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,700 And I certainly see the, the Merit for ripping another 222 00:11:43,700 --> 00:11:46,500 running back here. I do think like four other 223 00:11:46,500 --> 00:11:48,000 drafts. Like we're doing a slow draft 224 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,300 right now with some of our ship chasing VIPs. 225 00:11:50,300 --> 00:11:52,500 We ended up going with an anchor, our be billed where we 226 00:11:52,500 --> 00:11:55,900 took DeAndre Swift in the early second, that kind of opened us 227 00:11:55,900 --> 00:11:58,300 up. Or you know, targeting some more 228 00:11:58,300 --> 00:12:00,800 of these you know, wide receivers a little later because 229 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,500 we're just not going to be as strong because we use one of 230 00:12:03,508 --> 00:12:04,900 those early picks on a running back. 231 00:12:04,900 --> 00:12:07,900 So I do think kind of like the texture of our builds to will 232 00:12:07,900 --> 00:12:11,600 put us in different spots. And I mean comparing Fuller to 233 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,700 like someone like wandel who we could have also selected in this 234 00:12:15,700 --> 00:12:19,000 range. I find it more unlikely that he 235 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,300 could jump up as much as will Fuller could jump up? 236 00:12:22,300 --> 00:12:25,500 And so that's why it just Fuller just seems such like a unique 237 00:12:25,500 --> 00:12:26,500 spot right here. Here. 238 00:12:27,500 --> 00:12:33,200 Yeah, and I do kind of feel like if Will Fuller is going to go at 239 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,200 this price in a managed League where we get a preseason waiver 240 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,600 wire run and most of the running backs are gone. 241 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,100 I mean, I like Kenyan Drake where he went, but after we took 242 00:12:44,100 --> 00:12:45,600 Fuller Kenyan, Drake and snuke honor. 243 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:52,300 Go grab Birkhead mapper a to goes Dante, Lyle Hillyard goes 244 00:12:52,300 --> 00:12:54,700 and we grab James White. So it's like not even a ton of 245 00:12:54,700 --> 00:12:56,600 running backs. Went off the board We grabbed 246 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,100 Fuller's, like, on it done. So, you know, with that 247 00:13:00,100 --> 00:13:03,400 opportunity cost and ffp. See a lot of these running backs 248 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,300 are gone by the time. You even start to consider? 249 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,700 Yeah, wider simpler is better than all of those backs to me, 250 00:13:08,700 --> 00:13:11,100 it was just a question of do. We want another scratch off 251 00:13:11,100 --> 00:13:12,600 ticket? One of the guys, we talked about 252 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,400 at White, and I don't know if we want to talk about sort of 253 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,300 somewhere into the pin dependent running back decisions but P 254 00:13:17,300 --> 00:13:19,800 brought up so much of perine. We talked about some of the San 255 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,500 Fran guys. Tracey Thurman hasn't gone yet. 256 00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:25,600 Jeff Wilson hasn't gone yet. Adding one of those guys to this 257 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,100 build. I don't think any of those guys 258 00:13:27,100 --> 00:13:29,400 are like great pics, that probably going to go undrafted. 259 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,300 But if Joe Mixon as a preseason injury or if you know tearing 260 00:13:32,300 --> 00:13:35,100 Davis price gets really bad reports all through camp and 261 00:13:35,100 --> 00:13:37,100 we're like okay Jeff Wilson's actually going to be this number 262 00:13:37,100 --> 00:13:40,200 2, alongside Elijah Mitchell. That felt like tearing Davis 263 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:46,100 price would be Yeah it was basically just volume at running 264 00:13:46,100 --> 00:13:48,700 back right? So yeah I don't yeah I don't. 265 00:13:48,700 --> 00:13:51,300 Fuller is better than all of those players though. 266 00:13:51,300 --> 00:13:54,700 That's why it's sort of like kind of a hard case to make. 267 00:13:54,700 --> 00:13:58,300 I totally get I do I as we were kind of going back and forth on 268 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,200 on this chord you would I kind of felt like we're kind of going 269 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,700 back and forth and then once the question started to go to like 270 00:14:04,700 --> 00:14:07,500 okay but then who do we take it was like fuck it. 271 00:14:07,500 --> 00:14:13,500 Let's take full of that's where it's like on on. 272 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,400 Underdog. You know, you're having to 273 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,900 debate whether to take Fuller and like, literally your 274 00:14:18,900 --> 00:14:21,700 favorite of the scratch off, running backs your McKinnon, 275 00:14:21,700 --> 00:14:24,400 your Darkness Johnson, your, you know, Benjamin like any of those 276 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:29,300 guys were all long gone in this draft to where you just didn't 277 00:14:29,300 --> 00:14:31,500 feel the opportunities were three rounds earlier. 278 00:14:31,900 --> 00:14:35,000 Yeah, it was. There was literally just another 279 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,900 running back. That won't even get drafted. 280 00:14:36,900 --> 00:14:38,000 Right? Somebody right here, right? 281 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,100 Or Jeff Wilson or something that was right? 282 00:14:40,100 --> 00:14:42,400 That was a we might still be able to bid on those guys if 283 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,000 those outcomes. Occur. 284 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,200 So I mean that's they haven't been taken yet. 285 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,300 It would bid on them, right? We'd probably be pretty 286 00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:52,600 aggressively if those outcomes occur and you can tell by the 287 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,200 you know the running backs. We did end up selecting like 288 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,000 they're kind of was a bit of a thematic thing to the groupings 289 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,000 of to hear Deonte Foreman Jamaal Williams two running backs that 290 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,200 we thought had really nice contingent upside in the event. 291 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,900 That something happened to Christian McCaffrey or DeAndre 292 00:15:07,900 --> 00:15:10,600 Swift that those guys would massively jump in value. 293 00:15:10,700 --> 00:15:13,200 And then our last two picks, you know, Rex Burkhead and James 294 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,300 White. White two guys that we think are 295 00:15:15,300 --> 00:15:19,500 kind of undervalued relative to the Past catching floor that 296 00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:21,900 they might be able to give us and just kind of getting 297 00:15:21,900 --> 00:15:23,400 different texture of running backs. 298 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,100 I think you could also argue that Jamal Williams has a bit of 299 00:15:26,100 --> 00:15:29,300 a past catching floor as well and could still have, you know, 300 00:15:29,300 --> 00:15:33,300 some role alongside Swift there. But any other thoughts on kind 301 00:15:33,300 --> 00:15:36,400 of how we rounded out our 0r B room here? 302 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,500 Well, I mean, the McKinnon pick was like a bit off the wall in 303 00:15:41,500 --> 00:15:43,400 some ways because we were thinking, I think we were 304 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,000 talking about Foreman in Jamaal Williams is two of the other 305 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,200 guys in the group that we may have taken instead of McKinnon 306 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,500 Marlin, Mac was a guy we discussed very seriously there 307 00:15:53,500 --> 00:15:57,200 as well, but to get Foreman in the 14th and then Williams in 308 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,900 the 15th was pretty sweet, like kind of like we got with Carter 309 00:16:01,900 --> 00:16:03,300 and then getting game while back. 310 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,000 And getting to from that tear. It was pretty nice, too. 311 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,400 I felt like we got three from the following tear McKinnon, 312 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,300 foreman and Williams. Yeah, and then basically, by the 313 00:16:14,300 --> 00:16:16,600 time he got back to us with for, I felt like we were kind of a 314 00:16:16,700 --> 00:16:19,800 sort of the next tier down. So pretty sweet to get three of 315 00:16:19,808 --> 00:16:24,300 those guys. Yeah yeah I think with the 316 00:16:24,300 --> 00:16:27,200 values we got on the Singletary, Carter gained while and then 317 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,500 even those three as you just described, this is a really good 318 00:16:30,500 --> 00:16:34,500 0r B room in terms of the balance of Floor and ceiling. 319 00:16:34,500 --> 00:16:37,800 I think both Carter and gain. Well, sort of the unsexy 320 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,600 outcomes are that they are probably still catching, at 321 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,100 least some passes that we can start. 322 00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:43,300 Then we kind of have three guys, Singletary, Carter and game with 323 00:16:43,300 --> 00:16:45,500 it, I'd be pretty comfortable. Just throwing in week, one 324 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,600 McKinnon Foreman Williams. Maybe have too much in front of 325 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,500 them, to where we really feel comfortable week one but 326 00:16:51,500 --> 00:16:54,900 certainly a lot of contingent value and are in good spots. 327 00:16:55,500 --> 00:16:57,900 And then even like to get Birkin whitens, two more guys that we 328 00:16:57,900 --> 00:17:00,000 might actually feel comfortable. Starting, we go on frankly, 329 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,300 depending on how they're they're rocking my fair week. 330 00:17:02,300 --> 00:17:09,400 One started, we are weak ones. Who knows, but sort of my case 331 00:17:10,300 --> 00:17:15,500 in counter to that is, despite this being a really good 0r be 332 00:17:15,500 --> 00:17:17,400 running back room. It's still a 0. 333 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:22,200 RB running back room, right? And we're still looking for the 334 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,099 breakout, yes, and sometimes you just need, you know, volume and 335 00:17:26,099 --> 00:17:27,700 we're going to do that still. We're still gonna, I mean, we're 336 00:17:27,708 --> 00:17:29,900 still playing that way. We have a running backs on this 337 00:17:29,900 --> 00:17:31,900 roster, it's not like we did anything different than what I'm 338 00:17:31,900 --> 00:17:34,700 saying, we're still going to churn still going to be trying 339 00:17:34,700 --> 00:17:39,200 to hit on, you know, this year's whoever, you know, James Conner, 340 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,700 and Leonard fournette where the 8th to 10th round players, maybe 341 00:17:42,700 --> 00:17:44,700 Singletary. Maybe Carter again, well, has 342 00:17:44,700 --> 00:17:47,700 some type of upside like that, maybe this year's Cordarrelle 343 00:17:47,700 --> 00:17:50,200 Patterson who was basically free off waivers after week one. 344 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,500 And then was the big waiver bids and week to where the League's 345 00:17:53,500 --> 00:17:54,900 were. He eat State, you know, on 346 00:17:54,900 --> 00:17:57,200 waivers and some leaks through week two and then people really 347 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,800 been been on a pretty aggressively. 348 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,200 Maybe we can find that guy or maybe we already have that kind, 349 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,300 maybe that's a Rex Burkhead this year, who knows? 350 00:18:03,300 --> 00:18:08,100 But We're still going to approach it that way, obviously. 351 00:18:08,100 --> 00:18:11,500 But that, this just this idea that this, the running back 352 00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:13,900 room, is where we got to find answers to support these 353 00:18:13,900 --> 00:18:18,000 receivers and a little bit of like, I totally agree that these 354 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,300 top seven receivers, were not going to be right on all of 355 00:18:20,308 --> 00:18:22,300 them. But if we're going to win a 356 00:18:22,308 --> 00:18:24,300 million dollars in a massive tournament, we did there's an 357 00:18:24,300 --> 00:18:26,000 element of drafting like you're right to. 358 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,200 We have to hope that this group of receivers Does hit to a 359 00:18:30,208 --> 00:18:32,900 pretty strong degree, right? Yeah. 360 00:18:32,900 --> 00:18:36,900 And it my biggest thing that I think and I brought this up on a 361 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,200 few shows that I think our mistakes was here are be builds. 362 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:44,200 Previously was pulling out too early, you know, panicking. 363 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,100 I remember the year Pat that drafted Arian Foster. 364 00:18:47,100 --> 00:18:50,400 I want to say in the fifth or sixth round and then he retired 365 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,700 before the season and even in previous years, that might have 366 00:18:54,700 --> 00:18:58,000 been taking Kareem hunt in the the fifth or sixth round or 367 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,500 something like that, where it's like, it gets scary. 368 00:19:00,500 --> 00:19:03,300 But what we're really looking at is like, we look at these wide 369 00:19:03,300 --> 00:19:06,400 receivers Bateman tavant and Garrett Wilson specifically in 370 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,200 like, none of us would dispute. Kind of The Upside scenarios 371 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,500 that these guys have, even though you can poke holes and we 372 00:19:12,500 --> 00:19:15,600 did poke holes while we were discussing them, but you can't 373 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,100 really question the upside scenarios and just knowing that 374 00:19:18,100 --> 00:19:21,700 we're now giving ourselves our chance to hit one of these guys 375 00:19:21,700 --> 00:19:25,300 who could finish as a top 15 receiver with these pics on. 376 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,300 And then that the difference between the cream hunt or in 377 00:19:28,300 --> 00:19:31,500 this case, the Eli Mitchell's the Tony Pollard's in the Rashad 378 00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:35,000 pennies isn't that different from the singletary's Carter's 379 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,200 and gained Wells. I think is where we've really 380 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,200 been able to build a strong team that I think is going to be able 381 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,600 to compete right out of the gate while still giving us just 382 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,900 massive massive upside. For sure. 383 00:19:46,900 --> 00:19:47,700 I agree. Yeah. 384 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,800 I mean it is fun to have because you'll see some of the wide 385 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,600 receiver. Heavy builds will be like a lot 386 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,500 of Veteran, guys. You know, I'm looking at six 387 00:19:58,500 --> 00:20:01,100 others not super wide, receiver heavy but he picked five wide 388 00:20:01,100 --> 00:20:03,100 receivers in a row in the middle rounds. 389 00:20:03,100 --> 00:20:06,600 When Judy thielen Drake London Renfro Alaba, he kind of got 390 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,600 like a mix of like kind of solid veteran starters and upside 391 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:15,100 shots, but like when you're taking as many as we did we just 392 00:20:15,100 --> 00:20:18,000 took up side shot. It's like, I guess Claypool is 393 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,100 like, sort of a veteran but like, I think, you know, we're 394 00:20:20,100 --> 00:20:23,100 kind of looking for him to be a breakout in potentially somewhat 395 00:20:23,100 --> 00:20:28,100 of a new role and then like a couple Superstars hopefully in 396 00:20:28,100 --> 00:20:32,100 Jamar Chase and see Higgins. So, I think that's like another 397 00:20:32,100 --> 00:20:34,700 fun thing about this team is that we all, we just swung for 398 00:20:34,700 --> 00:20:36,700 the fences with all the wide receiver picks. 399 00:20:36,700 --> 00:20:39,800 We weren't worrying about, you know, how do we plug in 400 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,000 production? And I, I really am in the last 401 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,100 couple days. I've gotten a lot more since our 402 00:20:46,300 --> 00:20:49,000 Initial talk a lot, more comfortable and totally on board 403 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,500 with the Fuller pick. I'm totally fine with it, but 404 00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:55,200 just to Circle back to that. I think the or like to put a bow 405 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,500 on sort of what I was thinking. I think, the way that I was 406 00:20:57,500 --> 00:21:00,400 thinking through that was these upside scenarios where we took 407 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,300 these big swings, but for this team to be good, obviously, we 408 00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:07,700 need Marquis brown, or Bateman to be this year's cup or chase 409 00:21:07,700 --> 00:21:11,500 in the fourth fifth rounds, like the we have to have the hit 410 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,700 right from this wide receiver room. 411 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,000 If Brown Bateman Devante if Garrett, Wilson, we need him to 412 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,600 be this year's. You know, Justin Jefferson from 413 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,100 two years ago. If those guys all aren't hitting 414 00:21:22,700 --> 00:21:24,900 in a way that we're then, you know, seriously considered 415 00:21:24,900 --> 00:21:26,100 playing will Fuller is in every week. 416 00:21:26,100 --> 00:21:30,600 Starter teams probably just hoping to win its League which 417 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,300 is not like a horrible thing, right? 418 00:21:32,300 --> 00:21:38,000 But we to a certain degree need to assume that Marquis Brown, is 419 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,700 this year's Cooper cup. You know what? 420 00:21:39,700 --> 00:21:42,100 He's got the new quarterback and everything goes awesome for him, 421 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,700 right? And he's a superstar. 422 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,100 Get Wilson. Is this yours just in general? 423 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,500 Jefferson whatever it is. We have a lot of big swings 424 00:21:48,500 --> 00:21:51,300 there and I kind of want to just be like yeah, we're gonna play 425 00:21:51,300 --> 00:21:53,100 Chase every week. He's already going to have to be 426 00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:57,600 a hit, you know, maybe both chasing Higgins, don't hit and 427 00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,800 there were some, you know, some stuff that we talked about with 428 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,700 them when we took both the guys from the same team, but one of 429 00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:05,500 brown, or Bateman or devant or Garrett Wilson, at least, one 430 00:22:05,500 --> 00:22:06,700 probably hold on. To ya. 431 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,500 Have to be every week starters for us. 432 00:22:08,700 --> 00:22:12,400 But, I mean, you, you know, I agree with you, but also like, 433 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,600 we could this team could hit on. Chase pits. 434 00:22:16,100 --> 00:22:22,900 Brown Cuyler, Garrett, Wilson, and Fuller and be incredible. 435 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,800 I mean, I mean we could we could whiff on a bunch of the early 436 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,500 Higgins like Singletary, right? Singletary, could be a star 437 00:22:28,500 --> 00:22:29,600 right? Seal over tables, air 438 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,100 conditioner. Yeah, yeah. 439 00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:32,800 This team would be incredible. You're absolutely right. 440 00:22:32,900 --> 00:22:36,800 There's there are scenarios where I was maybe a little bit 441 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,500 too. Thinking like I was right with 442 00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:41,800 wide receiver. It's really interesting to think 443 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,400 about that like all the contingency basis. 444 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,100 I'm actually working on article stealing signals. 445 00:22:45,100 --> 00:22:48,800 It's going to be out eventually that is like about how 446 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,200 contingency based fantasy football has become. 447 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,300 I think it really has become a lot more contingency. 448 00:22:53,300 --> 00:22:57,800 Basis, always been contingency basis, but I think you're right 449 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,500 that there are still scenarios that that we were really happy 450 00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:03,700 that we have Fuller there and like to even just to make like a 451 00:23:03,708 --> 00:23:06,400 subtle distinction of like not necessarily needing Garrett 452 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,400 Wilson to be this year's, Justin Jefferson but like could He be 453 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,000 this year's Jalen waddle who was a guy that it wasn't like Jalen 454 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,700 Waddles putting up 40-point weeks. 455 00:23:14,700 --> 00:23:18,000 But he had such a massive Target floor in just consistent 456 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,800 production that we're that, the edge really compounds to is when 457 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,600 we hit the by weeks and when other teams have injured and 458 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:29,200 were sliding in a 15-point floor at wide receiver because we hit 459 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,900 on this year's Jaylen waddle, I mean, it's so hard for the leak 460 00:23:32,900 --> 00:23:35,800 to kind of keep up with that, you know, just Relentless 461 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:40,200 assault of production from our wide receivers I love that. 462 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,000 Yeah this was a fun first draft it got me. 463 00:23:44,700 --> 00:23:48,200 And this is a good discussion on the Fuller pick to because it, I 464 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,700 think I needed a little, a little bit of a refresher, 465 00:23:50,700 --> 00:23:54,200 little bit of a reminder for both you guys about The value of 466 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,500 that. Like, I'm, I mean, I'm stoked 467 00:23:56,500 --> 00:23:57,300 about. This receiver room. 468 00:23:57,300 --> 00:24:00,000 I'm glad we added Fuller. I'm glad that we have all eight 469 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,000 guys. Rather rather than just started 470 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,100 stopping at 7 and having another scratch off running back, I 471 00:24:05,108 --> 00:24:08,300 really am. Yeah and I do think it this if 472 00:24:08,300 --> 00:24:12,700 anything to me like and I mentioned this to Davis earlier 473 00:24:12,700 --> 00:24:14,500 that it does just feel everywhere. 474 00:24:14,500 --> 00:24:17,000 Whether it's got Fishbowl, obviously Underdog FPC. 475 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,000 These rooms are just that the nails and the screws are just 476 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,700 getting turned a little tighter, they're just getting a little 477 00:24:22,700 --> 00:24:25,100 harder to navigate these. You're not able to get all of 478 00:24:25,100 --> 00:24:27,200 your targets and so what does that say to me? 479 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,300 Like we really have to lean into structure even more and I would 480 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:36,100 Say this is like my ideal quintessential structure, where 481 00:24:36,100 --> 00:24:39,700 it's a true zero are be billed, we are dominating people 482 00:24:39,700 --> 00:24:42,500 obviously at wide receiver, but also at the ones he's getting 483 00:24:42,500 --> 00:24:45,700 that Elite tied in and that Elite quarterback and I do 484 00:24:45,700 --> 00:24:49,000 really feel like this is how you execute a build like this. 485 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,100 And I think we did, we did well here for a first draft, even if 486 00:24:52,100 --> 00:24:55,200 we didn't get every single specific player that we wanted, 487 00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,800 One thing I'll know is you know, the Fuller pick I think was kind 488 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:05,000 of our luxury pick. Which includes a tight end to 489 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,100 which includes like an upside shot on like, DeShaun Watson or 490 00:25:08,100 --> 00:25:11,300 something like we. So we finish this with one 491 00:25:11,300 --> 00:25:17,400 quarterback one tight end. I think if we hadn't taken full 492 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,100 or I would have been someone interested, although I don't 493 00:25:20,100 --> 00:25:22,100 think we would have had to. But someone interested in taking 494 00:25:22,100 --> 00:25:27,200 like, you know, a brother Jordan Watson upside swing. 495 00:25:28,100 --> 00:25:31,300 Probably pretty smart although it's not the most appealing 496 00:25:31,300 --> 00:25:34,900 thing you can do. But that'll probably not being a 497 00:25:34,900 --> 00:25:37,100 smart move, for this guy who took Watson to Daniel Jones to 498 00:25:37,108 --> 00:25:43,000 close it out. But yeah, it just felt like with 499 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,900 where we were with running back pushing it so far and like a 500 00:25:45,908 --> 00:25:49,700 true zero running back build that we didn't really have 501 00:25:49,700 --> 00:25:53,300 another luxury pick besides Fuller, to go to get away from 502 00:25:53,300 --> 00:25:58,900 running back late. and that was another, you know, ultimately 503 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,100 point that we got around to in our discussion was when we start 504 00:26:03,100 --> 00:26:06,000 talking about a tenant or whatever I was that made me more 505 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,500 comfortable Fuller because I think for me it was not about 506 00:26:09,900 --> 00:26:12,800 not taking Fuller's, it was about taking all running backs 507 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,000 the rest of the way it would have been a pretty aggressive 508 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:22,000 line to take it running back but Fuller was clearly the pick for 509 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,800 me when we started saying okay well what about taking a A 510 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,000 second tight end or what I was like. 511 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,300 Well, if we're going to take one, One detour should be 512 00:26:30,300 --> 00:26:34,500 Fuller, which yeah, he's a piece of big pick their, we talk about 513 00:26:34,500 --> 00:26:36,600 breath and Jordan when you're talking about Kate and Drake, 514 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,200 when you're talking about those options like Fuller could be, 515 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,500 could be a big addition. For sure. 516 00:26:42,900 --> 00:26:44,500 Yeah. I mean was there any other thing 517 00:26:44,500 --> 00:26:50,000 like just more Trends with the draft room, anything you guys 518 00:26:50,900 --> 00:26:53,200 noticed? It did feel like there are kind 519 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,100 of certain Trends with a lot of the drafters of course, liking 520 00:26:56,100 --> 00:26:58,500 to get their tied into, you can kind of see on the board here 521 00:26:58,500 --> 00:27:02,700 between, you know, rounds 10 to 14, most drafters got their 522 00:27:02,700 --> 00:27:06,100 second tight end, we know we've already hit on the trend that 523 00:27:06,100 --> 00:27:09,900 kind of the premium 0r B, guys, you know, all come off the board 524 00:27:09,900 --> 00:27:13,200 in the sixth and seventh round. Drafter still really like those 525 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,600 guys kind of any other macro trends that you guys think might 526 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,300 inform how we think about our drafts going forward. 527 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,000 Something's sucking on a little bit, but when Chris Evans went 528 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,800 and then we went McKinnon sort of as a result that when 529 00:27:25,300 --> 00:27:28,500 especially in July, when you get into the 12th 13th, round year, 530 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,000 especially if you're doing a 0 RB or anchor, our be or 531 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,500 whatever, you're certain to hit and running backs. 532 00:27:33,500 --> 00:27:35,600 ATP kind of went out the window in this draft more than I've 533 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,400 seen anywhere else. We talked about some of them 534 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,200 being preferred bright when you brought up, you know, Benjamin, 535 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,900 you know, And we were excited about potentially taking him. 536 00:27:44,500 --> 00:27:46,100 I think I said, how do we ensure we do that? 537 00:27:46,100 --> 00:27:48,900 Do we get him in the 15th? When he comes back around his 538 00:27:48,900 --> 00:27:52,500 ATP was after the 16th and then it goes at the 1415 turn before 539 00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:54,900 we even get a shot to discuss. Whether we would reach a full 540 00:27:54,900 --> 00:27:59,300 round to take him in the 15th and he's Rising a little bit 541 00:27:59,300 --> 00:28:01,400 right now and he went pretty high. 542 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,800 It's got fish bowl drafts just today as well, which I was 543 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,400 annoyed about but some of those types of guys, you know, 544 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,600 McKinnon Chris Evans. Some of them are going to go a 545 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,400 lot higher in Rooms. And so you have to think through 546 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,200 that. Do you want to get specific guys 547 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,200 with your build? You might have to pay up for 548 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:18,600 them. And then are you willing to sort 549 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,200 of just let the room, dictate some of yours? 550 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,700 You are be targets as well. I think to a degree you should 551 00:28:23,700 --> 00:28:26,500 be but also that there are some that are not good targets. 552 00:28:26,500 --> 00:28:29,600 Frankly, I think we did a good job of still getting pretty good 553 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,500 targets. Despite mostly letting the room 554 00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:33,800 dictate, you know, Pat you talked about, even with Jamal 555 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,800 Williams falling later, but obviously, in the earlier show, 556 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,200 Singletary card or gain. While we're all, once it fell, 557 00:28:39,900 --> 00:28:41,500 we got it kind of played out well. 558 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,300 For us because those are guys that we do like then we did take 559 00:28:44,300 --> 00:28:47,100 a couple of the reaches as well, make an informant, but you're 560 00:28:47,100 --> 00:28:49,800 going to kind of have to balance, whether you're putting 561 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,900 your stamp down. Hey, there's no real value here 562 00:28:51,900 --> 00:28:53,700 that I like, okay, I'm gonna put my stamp down on a guy. 563 00:28:53,700 --> 00:28:57,000 I do like that's what we do when we took McKinnon versus okay. 564 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,200 There is a guy at Value that I could see out into this build 565 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,700 and hoping that some of the other ones come back around. 566 00:29:04,100 --> 00:29:06,600 Yeah. And we also were in a spot like 567 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:11,200 that, like in the ninth, you know, after we take Singletary, 568 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,900 Patterson Row, Joe James Cook. Alexander Madison reminder, 569 00:29:14,900 --> 00:29:18,600 Stephenson all go off. So, we take Garrett Wilson, 570 00:29:19,100 --> 00:29:23,100 which I think was a great pick. And then after that only Rashad, 571 00:29:23,100 --> 00:29:28,100 white and Melvin Gordon, go off and we kind of we took Claypool 572 00:29:28,100 --> 00:29:30,700 ended up getting one of the last of the, the following tear and 573 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,700 in Carter, but yeah, I think kind of being flexible. 574 00:29:33,900 --> 00:29:40,600 Water to Those runs and just like like positioning yourself. 575 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,100 Like okay, I'm in the end of a pocket. 576 00:29:42,100 --> 00:29:46,500 The beginning of pocket, but we also, you know, push this pretty 577 00:29:46,500 --> 00:29:49,300 far in terms of the 0 running back structure, probably further 578 00:29:49,300 --> 00:29:52,600 than we will in most of the drafts later this year. 579 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,100 I think one of the reasons to do that is that like we'll probably 580 00:29:56,100 --> 00:29:59,300 get some clarity on demonstrate military versus James Cook in 581 00:29:59,308 --> 00:30:03,200 the next few weeks to a month. So, my guess is that one of 582 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:07,200 those two will Move up by around and a half and the other will 583 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:11,300 fall, but not like a ton. And then like, so someone like 584 00:30:11,300 --> 00:30:13,300 basically million situations like that where like these 585 00:30:13,300 --> 00:30:16,800 uncertain back fields, where like, you could see MacKinnon 586 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,500 being like a tenth round, pick pretty easily, you know, gain, 587 00:30:20,500 --> 00:30:23,900 welcome any of these guys and in general, I think the whole 588 00:30:23,900 --> 00:30:26,200 running back cohort will probably move up a bit. 589 00:30:26,900 --> 00:30:29,800 Yeah, this is something we've seen time and time again, is 590 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,400 like once there starts to be a little bit more certain to you 591 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,900 about, Some of these running backs situations and who the 592 00:30:35,900 --> 00:30:39,900 upside shots really are? Then there gets to a lot of 593 00:30:39,900 --> 00:30:44,600 steam behind those guys. So, you need to be able to hit. 594 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,300 You need to be able to get two of the guys from The Carter 595 00:30:47,300 --> 00:30:49,300 gained while. T0t are ideally three of the 596 00:30:49,308 --> 00:30:52,200 guys, from the following tear, you know, a follower like 597 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:53,700 Singletary. Like, that's how this build 598 00:30:53,700 --> 00:30:56,400 actually does still have a ton of upside at the running back 599 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,400 position. It's a lot tougher when all 600 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,400 those dudes are going like you know, 10 picks earlier. 601 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,500 Yeah. Yeah, in the other thing that I 602 00:31:05,500 --> 00:31:09,800 think I've gotten better about just now doing way more drafts 603 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,000 than I ever have is really internalizing this idea of 604 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,700 humility based Drafting and one thing that happens when you end 605 00:31:15,700 --> 00:31:18,700 up with the same guys over and over and your kind of reaching 606 00:31:18,700 --> 00:31:22,300 slightly to ensure you get your guys is you're not acknowledging 607 00:31:22,300 --> 00:31:24,800 that they probably exist in a tear and there's comparable 608 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,700 players there and by just being a little bit more of a value 609 00:31:28,700 --> 00:31:30,300 Hound. It's like yes we want to Gabriel 610 00:31:30,300 --> 00:31:34,000 Davis over Rashad Bateman but we both have those guys in a Or 611 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,900 tear, and there's gonna be spots where gave Davis Falls to us. 612 00:31:37,100 --> 00:31:41,500 And so, I just think this leads us to really natural 613 00:31:41,500 --> 00:31:44,900 diversification by being patient in our drafts and being really 614 00:31:44,900 --> 00:31:48,600 price-sensitive and we're still getting guys within that 615 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,300 two-year, did we prefer Henderson to Michael Carter? 616 00:31:51,300 --> 00:31:54,700 Yes, but can any of us really make a super strong case that 617 00:31:54,700 --> 00:31:58,000 he's in a different tier as like a contingent based running back? 618 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,000 Probably not. And so that's why I just kind of 619 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,500 like how this has really played out And I do think we caught 620 00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:09,100 like the tail end of Tears, like, really well at multiple 621 00:32:09,100 --> 00:32:12,100 spots in this draft and it's going to lead us to different 622 00:32:12,100 --> 00:32:14,500 players that were not necessarily always on but that 623 00:32:14,500 --> 00:32:17,400 are likely the same probabilistic bet as some of our 624 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:21,200 favorites in those same ranges. Yeah. 2020 Pat would have been 625 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:26,600 pounding the table for Rashad white at the 905 because I'm 626 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,800 like he's not gonna come back and it's like guess what? 627 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,700 He didn't come back but we got Chase Claypool which is a sweet. 628 00:32:33,900 --> 00:32:37,300 Are you in the 10th round? And we got Gary Wilson who has a 629 00:32:37,300 --> 00:32:39,200 ton of upside. I think it's completely Miss 630 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,800 price at the moment and then we ended up getting really really 631 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:46,300 nice contingency and you know, some Standalone value. 632 00:32:46,300 --> 00:32:49,700 Just a nice group of running backs later on to close it out. 633 00:32:49,700 --> 00:32:52,500 So like this team will probably be totally fine with our shot 634 00:32:52,500 --> 00:32:55,200 white and also shot a white, might be a nothing Burger. 635 00:32:55,700 --> 00:33:01,600 I'm not gonna do anything, I'll push back and it worked out very 636 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,300 well. It's probably this To do it when 637 00:33:04,300 --> 00:33:07,500 you're drafting a lot of teams. But Richard white might also be 638 00:33:07,500 --> 00:33:10,500 the player you needed, and I think this is going to be 639 00:33:10,500 --> 00:33:11,600 Wilson. Could be too. 640 00:33:11,900 --> 00:33:15,900 I, you said 2020 Pat. Like I 2022, beds. 641 00:33:15,900 --> 00:33:20,500 Still wants to make those reaches every very frequently so 642 00:33:20,500 --> 00:33:24,400 I'm okay, I'm okay with make it. Like, if it wasn't, let's say 643 00:33:24,900 --> 00:33:29,200 olave was there not Wilson got taken and, you know, I don't 644 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,000 know. It was like, Cristian Kirk, or 645 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,900 we can take Cristian Kirk Then 2022 Pat's probably pounding the 646 00:33:34,908 --> 00:33:37,400 table still for ya for shot white. 647 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,500 Like let's get that upside swing, you know. 648 00:33:39,900 --> 00:33:41,600 Yeah, we still got two person line pick. 649 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,500 But yeah, we still got a really nice pic would get Wilson there. 650 00:33:44,500 --> 00:33:47,700 That there wasn't really a need to pound table for widen that 651 00:33:47,700 --> 00:33:50,900 spot. Yeah and it's gonna be 652 00:33:50,900 --> 00:33:53,400 interesting just so you guys know we are. 653 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,900 Yeah we have a couple more slow drafts on tap. 654 00:33:55,900 --> 00:33:59,600 We have one on going with some of our VIPs another slow draft, 655 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,300 that will probably kick off more beginning of August and then we 656 00:34:02,300 --> 00:34:06,600 Bend Analyzing our full Main Event graph schedule. 657 00:34:06,900 --> 00:34:10,199 The majority of those going to be live streamed on the channel 658 00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:13,500 on Wednesday and Thursday night throughout mid to end of August. 659 00:34:13,500 --> 00:34:17,199 And then we're also going to be drafting a few teams out in 660 00:34:17,199 --> 00:34:20,500 Vegas.
