Fantasy best Friends Forever, M Do to Do to Do, to Do Do Do Do Do do it too, Yo. This is the Fantasy best Friends Forever here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. A lot on side for Frankie stamfle I Amen leadoff in Everywhere, New York City Kickball Champions, Greg Sussman, Reggie, what's going on? Time? Two times? Although I guess you only need to say it two times, it's two time. I cannot this. I'm so absolutely miss

this game. I'm upset I missed it, as dude. It's only like anything I've ever been better than any Fantasy championship you've ever won. Don't say it? Yeah? Oh no, Greggy, Yeah, what did Corey do to this laptop? I don't ask them. That's bad. Now it's ed. Track pad doesn't work. Oh is it on? It's like sticky? Is is it on? Late Night? To Corey Parson, he's the thing on work? Be you sure it's on? Is it? Do you want to have us spring up the charger? No, I have

the charger here. Oh now it's I don't know what's going on. Congrats crazy, tell us about your game. Oh my god, Oh my god, dude, holy cow. So after the first inning, we're down to three nothing after one bad first inning by pointing shortstop. Now I feel like I've had a great short last night. Great. Yeah, I made Listen, there's no remarkable play I had to made to make. I just made all the I didn't have

any errors. I made the plays I needed to do. Um. In the fourth we got I'm not gonna through it all, no, no no one cares. But scored two runs. On top of the fourth they hit a solo shot. I think people care about your kickball. Yeah. I'm not gonna go to the details of how we scored. But we scored two runs the top of the fourth. Bottom of the fourth they hit a solo shot to start. At the

beginning of the inning, four two. It's four two going to the top of the last inning, two outs still for to guy hits the cone down the right field line, which is like a foul pole essentially, and two runs going around to score. We tie the game four four top of the sixth day, which is the last inning. Bottom of the six first and second, nobody out. We hold them. Top of the seventh we score running, make it five four bottom the an of at first and second,

nobody out. We hold them again. We're the champions. We are chie my picture last night, Yes I did. Okay, you're doing your best alex Ovechkin drinking out of the kickball mugs.

tov up mozelto. I am you're better at the Black Eyed Peace song. I know I got a feeling, Yes, I got a feeling. Okay, Dean, Alright, sorry, al right, on the show today. Just like we did in the Friday going into the final weekend last summer, we're doing it again. We're providing you the perfect fantasy football mock draft. What do we mean by that, Frank? So basically, we're gonna run through each pick. It's just Gregg and myself obviously,

So we're gonna alternate picks. You're gonna be the first pick, on the second pick, your third, I'm fourth, so on and so forth, and we're gonna let you know who should be drafted at each pick in the first round, and then if we get to the second round, and then if we get to the third round, and however far we can get into this mock draft. Just to help you if you still have drafts left. What you should be trying to do. If I take Antonio Brown in the first round, who should I be trying to

pair him with in the second round? So on and so forth. So we're going to run through each pick and let you know in our opinion what the perfect mock draft at this point in the season should look like. Greg. Yeah, and it's if everything goes right, we will provide it right, We will provide the perfect draft. I got an invited to uh to a best ball league today, Greg from Jim Day. Yeah. Same where we knew that about. We didn't want no smoke. He wants to be graced by

our president, the BFFs, the goon squad. What's the name of the BFF Watchers? Are just the watchers? Are they like our best friends? Wis? Probably? They give a name. They're just our best friends. We are best friends. We are best friends? Yes, well not really. Last night I texted you about Luke Void. I was very excited it took the lead. You didn't respond to me. I was celebrating my later on the Yankees trade from a cutch in. You didn't respond to me. Texted Florio because that was

that was an. He texted me Luke Void and I was celebrating the droid right, I was eating my wings. I was drinking beer out of the cup, and I didn't respond to his Luke Void text. Whatever excited? Oh, the Yankees acquire Frank's boy, Andrew a Cutchen. You love andrewa Cutching, right, is my favorite player for a long time, So well acquire your boy. I text some cutch him

and Florial, myf in the BF chat still exists. The response and then Frank Florio responds, and then Frank responds, Oh, I was texting with Floria, were taxing the met fan? You texted the group chat and I texted Floria. Why would you not text the group chat? Mike Craig doesn't really care about baseball anymore, you can answer. I watched the every Night last night. Last night it funny at the bar him a lot, which is weird? Good? It was? It was John want to see that? That's fun Kyle

a Letta throwing interceptions all over the field. I didn't watch a second of it. How was the game? Who are the two games? L I mean the Jets lost on a last second touchdown. They lost ten to nine. You got some Josh McCown in the first quarter, really played past the first quarter, and I really watched a lot of it. The Jets just released Kevin Minton. I just read and many other players. Yeah, I mean it's a rough day today. It's cut day before getting of

the mock draft. Um, does there anything happened last night? I actually don't know. I didn't didn't look. Oh Jamaine curses her. Huh. Yeah, he's probably not going to play Week one. I'm Week one is very interesting for the Jets for many reasons. Obviously, you want to see how Sam Donald plays, but I think the first game will be very telling for us to know who is his go to guy, because we want to assume right now that it's Robbie Anderson, because Robbie Anderson had the best

year of all the Jets wide receivers last year. But that is Josh McCown. So now we have a new offensive coordinator and Jeremy Bates, we have a new quarterback in Sam Donald. Who is Sam Donald going to favor in this offense? I don't think anybody knows. Interesting. I think we wanted to be Robbie Anderson right, and I think Robby Anderson proved last year that he's not just a deep threat wide receiver. He is a great, maybe not great, solid all around wide receiver. He made lots

of plays last year. I was very intrigued by his development. What is it him? Is it Terrell Prior? Is a Quincy a new Moon? It's gonna be very interesting to watch on that Monday night game Week one? That's wines. Okay, how about that? Grank just got an update. Aaron Donald's on an extension. Oh really, Yeah, he's in. He's back six years, thirty five million with eighty seven million guaranteed. That's gotta be the biggest, bigger than Odell, the biggest

defensive ever eight seven million guarantee. That's more than Odell Odell had. What it's crazy? Signy bonus is very similar Odell's at forty million dollar or if Aaron Rodgers rather at forty million dollars? Holy crap? All right? What else hap it last night? Before getting the mock draft that I didn't know about. I don't know anything about last night,

I mean nothing. Crazy. Ronald Jones played. He he wrapped up his preseason ten times four yards eight carries in the preseason for twenty two yards, Like, I know you caught me. You caught me down in the control room. Last week, I was watching some Ronald Jones highlights. I was looking at a thread on Twitter of all his runs. Um, I didn't catch them last night. How his blocking was. But basically through three preseason games, Ronald Jones blocking on

his rushing attempts was non existent. Like the guy was getting hit in the backfield as soon as he was touching the ball. He was getting hit. So obviously the offensive line was not performing. He was playing a lot of the time with the second team offensive line. Um, So I think there's a lot of work to do here. I don't know that it's all on him, for sure. Some of it is on him in terms of past protection and not seeing the holes right as soon as he as soon as he takes the handoff, So he's

he's a little bit raw. Um. I think we know that by now next year might be the year of Ronald Jones. But I think, especially early on in season, we're gonna see us a heavy workload for Peyton Barber. I think so too, And I think it's Peyton Barber's team right now. I think there's no debate about that. Honestly, I kind of like I like him as the flex week against the sat were still in defense, right, so the thing, Oh yeah, for sure, they faced Ryan Fitzpatrick

in week one. There's some interceptions, Yes, he will cool. Um what else I think anything else from last night? And said Caylen Blage played well. Cat Meredith was out there. Meredith caught a like a fifty plus yard touchdown, receptions over seventy yards and a touchdown, So he had done nothing up to this point, um to give us confidence

in him for fantasy. Meanwhile, Trey Kwon Smith, who is the rookie that's kind of gaining some buzz right now with the New Orleans Saints, he was severely outplaying Cam Meredith. But it is good to see that in the fourth and final preseason game. You know, we didn't know if came Meredith was himself yet obviously coming off this devastating meat and jury, but he showed up big time last night on a double move, caught that deep all touchdown.

So it's good to see out of Cam Meredith. But I do think Tray Kwon Smith is a name that should probably be on your radar, maybe in your scout team to start the year. Maybe there's a chance he becomes that. That second the thing you call it a scout team and I call out the watch list. Well that's based on where you play, because yeah, who is a watch list? And I hate Yahoo. CBS is a scout team. That makes sense because CBS those things the

right way. We gotta pay for that. Well, you gotta pay for the best, Greg, Yes, yeah, you know you're not you Also notes are the pay for the Redobester's exclusive bench package is available right now, not just the draft kick.

Alright, so eight four four eight four

three six seven nine, that's number to join in. We'rena take your calls right now, all your last minute questions. I know I've got a lot of direct messages on Twitter about grading teams. To be honest with you, and grading teams is the thing. So like it's become much more prominent. This passed a few years. I've never seen it as prominent as I've seen it this year. Florio hates them. He's texting me. He's like, dude, I can't wait till grade my team. Season s z N is over, Florios.

Florio's cranky right now. He's a little pranky on the West coast. Is he definitely get some text complaining of him about him for sure? Yeah, so suppose that popular.

Um, we'll also answer your questions obviously live in our YouTube chat. Anything that you have to know. Here we go, the executive walks executive four or five

minutes earlier. This is nice, like that sweater Cory, all right, we're on the area. Yes, Corey, come to it, like want you want to be part of the perfect mock draft? You go, yeah, you got that. Let's do a little bit, let's get the executive cozen use I'm going to she's being she's being a bit of a hoar today. Yeah, what's It's fine by me. I'm doing well better than yesterday except for last night. Yeah. I dropped a mixed Monsters off over here. Last night. I dropped a couch

on my foot. That's not good. Yeah, so I legit think my foot is broken. I don't have the boot on. But I am struggling today. You know what I'm saying? Another day, a new struggle for the executive. It never stops. Right, was what we got going on? I got a fourteen team walks in today? Right? What's going on? I love it? What should I do at quarterbacks? Six points for a touchdown? Still points? I don't. I don't think anything changes. I

still think you don't think anything changes. I probably don't. I will not see six points. I don't think you justly don't target a rushington quarterback. I don't know if that's the wrong decision. I don't think you just I don't think you just spend more than ten dollars a quarterbacks to that much at all, even with six points for the past and absolutely not not because six points raises the touchdown total for everyone else to even even the lord like Philip Rivers. You tell me you feel

better alright? Eight four four eight four three six seven Vermont. Oh, wonderful, Bob? What's going on? Many, Corey? I was, I love you, but yeah, but yeah, Bob is tough. Bob is always if any one thing, it's another mother. Man, what's going on with you? Did you hear Bob's draft yesterday that it wasn't bad? Those twins over two Yankee hats together? How about that, Bob? These guys twins not the same mother though? Yeah, no, I'm not the same mother. I

didn't know. What's up? Do you take? The Jets did a great job and get it Teddy Bridgewater traded away, traded away, Teddy Bridgewater, Frank you talked about yesterday, pumpt Yeah, I mean essentially they signed him for one million dollars and they turned it into a third round pick, and now they can use that third round picks ammunition to potentially get a pass rusher, which the Jets are always lacking. Corey still think they made a mistake, though, Why is

that Teddy Bridgewater is a good quarterback? I think they made a big mistake. Yeah. Well, when you draft a quarterback third overall in the draft and he looks as good as he has in the preseason, you got to give him a chance to play. Your team needs Teddy Bridgewater. Yeah that's true. Yeah, because the other guy doesn't look too good. No, he doesn't know he man and doesn't look too good. He can't fool me. The Dallas cowgirl Bob talking trash nice when I like it. Hey, mom

in New York, trying fan. I don't like the Cowboys or the Eagles. I know you don't because I don't like the Eagles because when Michael Irvin hurt down at cheer for him, they cheered for them. I was so sick of that they cheered for him, and they chant to kill more and each other, and they chant to kill more Cowboys. You know, they tried to kill for real in the bathroom one time. But Michael learn was doing work when first wanted to do and work with TV.

They had went he had went to the restroom and the vet, I think it was the vet and if some fans saw it and they went after him and the police had to come and lock Michael in the bathroom, clear to and clear the area. We're right back, acta okay. From the NFL to the NBA. Daily Rodo dot Com

Um, you know, I've never actually have I what, I don't think I've ever won a championship for a sport. I've plit a lot of sports by love. Never won a championship. The

more embarrassing thing I've ever heard. Yeah, yeah, you never won a championship in any sport because I played good competition, Greg, I don't play co ed kickball. Excuse me, the competition is it was not nice played competition, Greg, I'm sure you did. You never want like a rectle basketball tournament like season I went undefeated one year. You know what, I think it's part of growing up as a Knicks fan that you watched the Nick so much you start to do things that they do. So I just have

like losing instilled in me. Guess so I don't know that's crazy. I think so things wild. Why I just didn't I didn't realize to take this long were twenty one two. It looks like it would have been awesome if you tonight, you think he's at stadium tonight, it's not in the line tonight. Off by one day. Yeah, it sucks, it's it's much needed now stand as being d D. Hunt. He's tired because he's play he's games in a row. You know what to eat? Three straight

games in a row. There you go. Take that. When people tell you Stanton's injury prone. Um Andrew Cushing now every day right fielder. I'm sure Judge is back. If Aaron Judge gets back, I think this might be a little bit more telling in the Aaron Judge department. Let's think of the call of cource of the mock draft. Let's go to Randy and Brooklyn. Let's Randy, Hey, great, what's going on? You know? Not much? How much shout out to you? Championships. Don't listen to Frank. I'm not

believing that's a sport. Uh. Good question is Corey with you guys. Corey was walked out. He'll be back obviously at one for the frenzy. No, no, I just wanted was that I just a quick question on a team? Uh ppr okay. I wanted to see, uh basically just do a great overall. Oh my GODMA for NET, Chris Hogan, Um, how do you kill? How? Rudolf, Emmanuel Sanders, Richard Matthews. That's the starting lineup. It's a double flex bench TYD of Iford, James White streaming and finald James. What do

you think, Frank? Yeah, So you have Kamara for NET obviously went to a running back to start here, and then Chris Hogan, tyreek Hill. Given the running backs that you have, I don't mind those wide receivers at all, Um tyreek Hill in the third, probably Chris Hogan and the fourth. But then you get Emmanuel Sanders as your flex, Rashard Matthews and your second flex not the strongest, but you know, when you start this many positions, you're not

gonna have great flex. But you have Royce Freeman on the bench, so you could probably throw him in there as your second flex. I like this a lot, great. I'm gonna give it a minus. Yeah, I'll go to the B plus. Though I don't like starting Richard Matthews at all. He has freaming on the bench, so you can put that in as as a second flag. I don't love it as the week one. Yeah, I think I think it could be competitive for the year. Though that's fine. I am given a plus it catch the quarterback.

I guess it doesn't really matter based all the other positions you have looks. Go to p J and Columbia. It's a p J p J. I'm real big on Alice's Collins. But I'm wondering something you think about some more. Gonna use Lamar Jackson on the gold line, you know, to get us some touch it? No? Not at nope? Oh okay, And I don't know. I agree with y'all on a lot of things, but this is one thing I don't agree with. Challa. Y'all really believe that Drew

Brees gonna have a positive regression. Why he's forty years old, and I mean, why, why do all of a sudden you think he's gonna have a better year than it did last year? Why? How come last year? Maybe it's just a new norm for him. He's a fair question. Fair question there, PJ, fair question. I don't think my ask Lamar Jacksons absolutely not. You want to take the Drew Brees one, frank, yeah, absolutely. If you look at the numbers outside of the touchdowns, everything else was there

for Drew Brees. He didn't throw for as many yards. He's not gonna do that anymore based on the rushing attack that they have, but seventy two percent completion percentage greg eight point one yards per attempt. Just based on his completion percentage, those yards per attempt, I have to imagine that the touchdowns are gonna go up. Is he gonna get back to thirty thirty five I've continuously said,

I don't think so. I think he's probably in that twenty seven to twenty nine touchdown range, which will be good enough for him to be a top ten quarterback. I don't think he has top five upside anymore. I think they realized that their bread is buttered by running the football with Kamara early in the season. It will be Jonathan Williams wanting to gets back mark Ingram fills

that role again. They have a solid defense, but Drew Brees positive touchdown regression remember only twenty three touchdowns last year. The year before that it was thirty seven. Um, he's not getting back to that mark, but I can see him, you know, touchdowns that'll make him a top ten quarterback. Greg. There you go, four eight, four, three six eight seven up, Frank, Let's put to Timmy California. It's up, Timmy. Hey, what's up, guys? Man? I love you guys. You are awesome man. Yeah. Okay,

So are you guys grade in drafts right now? Or are you just answering my question? Grast grade s z N season. Let's go come on, alright, cool, alright, So, um my, well, my first question is Robbie Anderson or Kenny Stills Stills for? Is that for a week? Water for the season? Good question? Um? No, I have Robbie Anderson on my bench. Um, and I'm kind of weak

at wide receiver. Um, but I'm looking at Kenny Stills just sitting on the waiver wire and my fear is that he's gonna blow up on the beginning of the season. Somebody's gonna snatch him up. For Kenny Stills, Yes, ranked higher in my wide receiver rankings. Now I would too, By the way, you would keep Robbie Andrews. No, we're dropping Robbie Adderson for Kenny Stills. Yes, okay, alright, cool, thank you. And then, um, here's my lineup. It's a

Senator league. Russell Wilson in the Vante Adams, Larry Fitzgerald, Todd Gurley, Nevin Melvin, Gordon, Greg Alson, Christian McCaffrey and the flex. And then on my bench I have Kyle Rudolph. How many teams? Yeah, that's all right league. Sure, what's the gentleman's name, Josh Gordon? Tim? This is Tim Tim. All right. This is an absolutely stacked lineup. But to be fair, in an eighteen team, in an eight team league,

everybody's team is going to be stacked. I love it for non PPR, but my advice is you gotta find at least two to four more friends. There you go, there, you go, find more friends, zim. Let's not. We'll get back the calls in a few minutes. I watch the perfect mock Draft. That's cool. Alright, you're on the clock. Greg. Alright, my first pick your odds, oh, Todd Gurley. Just half PPR because everything that we default too is half PPR. Todd Gurley off the board. Not worried about Levian Bell

being cut night yet. At least I'll take Levian Bell in the half PPR? Is the half ppr? Is that correct? The half ppr half ppr? You're up with with the number three pick, Greg, the number three pick and a half PPR, I will select. Where do you go? I don't know, because this is the perfect mockstra. If we can't get it wrong. We cannot get this wrong in the perfect mockst Someone might have the third pick this weekend, then we will have to go to the zek Elliott.

I think he probably got it wrong. But do you I was usually gonna say David Johnson, and I switched. Well, that says all the more for me. At pick four, I have David Johnson. I know both players have concerns about their offensive lines now, but I'm worried about the Cowboys right now. Man, And I know I continuously say, um volume over efficiency. I think that's the case for Zeki. L Ad touched the ball four hundred times this year.

I just when you're splitting hairs between him and David Johnson, I just think when David Johnson catch eight plus balls, potentially two thousand total yards and the half PPR do that non PPR. I think Zeke has more touch on upside all. You're up with pick five, Greg half PPR pick five. I will go with a V eight four Antonio Brown, even though we just took Antonio Brown with the seventh pick last weekend in the GST draft, we would have picked him at five if we had five,

and you were mad at us for that. Well, in that scenario, seeing some of the players off the board, seeing that running backs went five six, I wanted to take a running back there. But we're going to Antonio Brown here. Antonio Brown, you're not worried about the quad, I'm not worried about Okay, with the sixth overall pick. I've continuously said that this is how I would draft it. I'm gonna do it again here. Okay, say Kwon Barkley over Alvin Kamara. The reason being, I just think there's

gonna be more volume for se Kwon Barkley. I think the offensive line has improved. I don't think it's gonna be great, probably in the bottom half of the league once again this year. But he's going to touch the ball close to three fifty times, assuming he's healthy. I love Kamara as well, don't mind him going one pick later than this. But again, if we're splitting hairs, I like the volume of say Kwon Barkley, and you know we kind of saw his talent on that one play

throughout the preseason as well. So he's number six from me. Greg, Okay, there you go my number seven. Of you a gift you did, because that's number seven, I will select Alvin Kamara running back New Orleans Saints. Would you take Alvin Camara over se Kwon Barkley if you had pick six in the half point? Would not worried about marking him come back? No? I mean yeah, I love marketing him everywhere, but I think I think Camara is just he's special. He's a special talent. I'd like to see how they

utilized Jonathan Willias. I don't think we're gonna know that to week one, but I think they know what they have a Camara, and I think it only gets better in year two. In theory, give the Alvin Kamara at pick six. All right, we're gonna continue the running back run, and in my half point PPR rankings, the next running back off the board should be Kareemn. Some people are worried about Kareem Marty. I don't I'd seen him going

the second round of some draft. I'm going to have no shares of Cream Hunt and it kills me because I love Cream Hunt. If you were drafting this, why wait? Why is that though? Why won't you get him? Do you have a draft pick? Where a draft where you have the eleventh pick? Next week? I trained up for seven because I don't think you would have been there at eleven. If you could be there to love it,

I would have cried. I think there's a chance he might. Man, he's falling down draft right now, and I don't get it, Like they're talking to Damian Williams that he's going to have a role like yeah, so so so basically it's only one spot left because I know the person at eight is his hometown, Hell is the jack Jacks Fani. He's like, I'm gonna take four net like whatever. At nine they could take Creme Hunt or Melvic and Morton, and I think at ten they just take the other one. Now,

could they take DeAndre Hopkins there? Yeah? But I think everybody and we've seen it in all the Jeffraff we've done, everyone realizes how quickly the running back well drives up. So I think that Gordon and Hunt in some order at least in my draft go probably true. Yeah, so you're taking Cream Hunt. Yeah, I just based on the metrics that he did last year. And I will continue to say this, the one thing that you have to worry about when it comes to Karee Hunt is not

Kareem Hunt. Sandy Reid. Yeah, absolutely, because we saw it last year, that low in the middle of the season. But don't don't remember. Don't forget what Kareem hunted early in the year in terms of what a hundred plus yards from scrimmage to start the year. It was like seven games in a row. He had that long stretch where he didn't score a touchdown. But I think they right the ship this year and he has the work

horse running back for the Chiefs. I believe that great, Okay, which means I am now up with the ninth pick in the draft. I'll go with running back Los Angeles Chargers Melvin Gordon. I think it's very close between Kareem Hunt and Melvin Gordon. I think the Chief's offense is a little bit more explosive. Gordon's passing usage has gone up every single year he's been in the league. We already know what he does with the goal line, and and I'm not really worried about Austin Ekeler taking away

anything from him. I love Melvin Gordon. He's by not picking number nine. I think Austin Ekeler has a little bit more of a role than we're giving him credit for. Maybe Melvin Gordon isn't over fifty receptions this year, but I could see him in that forty to forty five reception range. And I think double digit touchdowns is well within the reach of Melvin Gordon. He's up two years in a row, and they've actually improved the offensive line there.

So I like that pick a lot. You're at pick ten, Greg, This is an interesting spot. This is an interesting spot because you know, I like Dalvin Cook over Leonard Fournette. I've continuously ranked it that way. Still, but yes, still and half point in half point, the best player off in my opinion that's left right now is DeAndre Hopkins. That's so I'm gonna take with the tenth pick off right board. I know everyone wants running backs, but at

some point. You gotta take the best player available, and that's why we took Gronk in the third round of bad draft. DeAndre Hopkins could easily be the wider super one this year. We shouldn't use the white shoot. I mean, I can hold up this paper and maybe we can like zoom in or something. All right, ums on Twitter, I have the eleven pick, and I've been different than you, right like I've always said that to me. I have Leonard Fournette over Dalvin Cook, and I'm going to stay

consistent here. I will draft Leonard Fournette at eleven, even though I know I potentially may get and still got four Nett at fourteen. What I did here, well, that's only because you know me, correct. But if someone's drafting and you think Leondard Fournet is the best player available, that's what we should tell him to do. I do. I believe we're the best player available. He is this offensive. Jackson will give me four eleven. I would love to

have picked twelve heading into this weekend. I would just love it. Look at what you're guaranteed here at pick twelve, even if Odell Beckham is gone, you get one of Dalvin's not. He's not gone. No, I'm just saying even if he's not, he's not going to be. It's a perfect mon draft. This is such a gift. So with

the first pick here, I will take Odell Beckham. He's my next wide receiver off the board, he's my third ranked And then you pair that Alvin Cook and I mean some people might want Christian McCaffrey, but you know, there are some current concerns with the Vikings offensive line. I think you could say the same thing for the Panthers offensive line. We saw what Dalvin Cook did in a small sample size last year. Now he has a better quarterback, and Kirk Cousins a quarterback who likes to

throw to the running back as well. I'm not worried about Latavius Murray being there all that much. Think we'll tav S Murray has his role eight to ten touches per game. I still think Dalvin Cook can have is you know, eighteen to twenty touches per game as well. They can coexist in a world together. Odell Beckham and Dalvin Cook at pick twelve is just I love them. Wow, I love that. I'm not never oh no, I'm fiven Leonard Fournette on this team. Greg, Yeah, so it's interesting.

I can go with to sophmore running backs in four Nett McCaffrey, but I'm not going to I'm gonna take Julio Jones. I believe the top four wide receivers here. I'm gonna Julio Jones and pair up four Nett and Julio like that. Pick a lot of foot injury rest for both these guys. We'll do it. Definitely that it is a little bit risky, but there's high, high upside here. Greg. We mentioned the volatility of Julio Jones throughout the draft season, but you're in in year out. You just at the

end of the season he's there. He's there, So you gave me a gift from pick ten. Draft DeAndre Hopkins in the round perfectly, and Christian McCaffrey makes it all the way back absolutely perfectly. Fifteen. You might not see this in draft this weekend, but there's a chance again, like, don't try and pre plan your draft too much. You take the best player available and then you might just find out that you end up with a gift here to take take DeAndre Hopkins at pick ten, you get

see him in the second There you go. So I am at what nine? This one had Melvin Gordon in the first round. Greg Oh, alright, pick nine has Melvin Gordon in the first round. And we'll tell it. We'll pair it up with the players I wanted to end my draft with last year. I wanted to have my first two players you, Melvin Gordon and Michael Thomas. It works out fine. Right now, I will pair up Melvin Gordon and Michael Thomas from the nine spot. I love

that start too, It's great. I think this is once I said the other day when we had picked seven in the g s C. Seven eight, you don't really love it all that I love it. I don't. I love it. Well, maybe we just didn't execute it correctly because I don't like Devonte Freeman. That's fine. I don't think. I think that it didn't necessarily work out because we had Antonio Brown and it's weird having the running back there. But I think where you're going right now at seven

and eight. It's your pick, obviously, but I imagine you're gonna go with some fur of Keenan Alan Davanzi Adams. I think they're gonna go back to back right now. So to start off your team with se Kwon Barkley and one of those guys is pretty damn awesome. That would have been all Alba Camara, one of those guys is pretty damn awesome. When Antonio Brown didn't made it. That's why it's confusing which one he's using, Alan or Adams. I'm gonna take Vante Adams will being what after that?

So it's Kareem Hunt paired with now and Alvin Kamara paired with spontandam pretty awesome, very very nice. We'll take a break here. More of your calls and more Perfect Box Draft coming up next. I'm a fantasy best friends brever like a great pass rusher. The Roto Experts will

Alright, already here, Bob okay, Franky, help to you? Do you want to take more calls

right now? Or do you want to go to the back in the mock draft? What do you think we should do? I just ask you so calls? Alright, eight four four, eight four three six seven nine. We go back to the phone lines and we go to al in Brooklyn. What's about? Hey, what's going on? That's how you doing doing? Great? Man? Another question? My mile fifth round draft pick. I gave you a little backstory. As a twelve team UM twelve team Standard League, I had

the number one overwall pick, so I pick Girl. When he came back to me, I picked on Michael Thomas Stefon did My fourth round pick was Derrick Henry. Now, fifth round I had a choice of random Cooks or back Cooks. I ended up taking Cooks. I was wondering if I was in miss pig or should have have I didn't make the right decision. Game Well, we started to running back and three wibe receiver. Then which that end did you end up with? Which tight end did you end up with? Ultimately? Oh, I ended up with

George Kittle and j k from Cleveland. Alright, So Brandon Cooks and the combination of George Kittle and in Joko would that have been better than taking zach Ertz and then whatever wide receiver you would have gotten later on? Personally, you know how I feel about Brandon Cooks, Greggy, I'm

not really in on him. I think there's a lot of mouths to feed this year with the Los Angeles Rams, and they face a very very tough schedule against opposing shutdown cornerbacks this year too, which I do think Brandon Cooks is going to be the guy that's facing that opposing corner, and we've seen that. You know, he is not um, so where he's not, it's not impossible for him to get shut down. We've seen that before too with Brandon Cooks. So personally, I probably would have taken

zach Ertz. I think they're in the fifth round. I think that's that's great value. Personally, I probably would have went in that direction and then taking my wide receiver three later on, Greg, I probably agree with you. I'm just not a Brandon Cooks guy. Home. Yeah, I know this year at least four eight four three sixty seven nine instead of Julian in Miami. What's Julian? Hey, what's up? Guys? Thank you for taking my call absolutely um alright, So I just want to ruin my team by you guys

to what you guys think at QB. I got Stafford, I got Odell, Feeling, Barkley, McKinnon, Read, Kenyan Drake, Drew, Royce, Freeman, Crabtree, Coleman, Mike Williams, and Gallup. This is a four point PPR sent player league. You went incredibly fast, so it was hard for me to write everything down. Just give me a running backs again. You have Barkley Drake and who else Barkley Drake, McKinnon, Royce Freeman and Coleman. And the

wide receivers are Odell Selon. Do you how many teases like it's a it's a ten team league, but this is really stacked, its awesome team. It's awesome. I like it a lot. Um Again, I would say I just probably find two friends making a twelve team league. But overall, I mean, for a ten team league, even Afford, Barkley Drake, all of the running backs, you have the depth with McKinnon and Freeman, you have Odell Beckham Feeling do do you have great starting wide receivers in a full point PPR.

I think it's gonna be a very competitive league, very competitive team. I'll give to a minus. Craig I I hate to me, he's awesome. He is really really good. Um let's go to Devon and Halifax stuff. Devin Uh twelve team standard league two player keeper. I actually appreciate this though he just jumped is pretty bad because I've got like ode and so my running backs currently are col McKinnon, Uh, Jordan Wilkins, Jeremy Hill and market Ingram. Now I'm wondering. My question basically is how badly do

I need a P? Let's see, are you said you're running backs are just run them down again? Jordan Wilkins, Jeremy Hill, mark Ingram, uh, McKinnon and Croyle desperately. Yeah, how dred thousand Reig has had the number twenty six in his head all week. Yeah, I think he has to do it. I think you have to go that high. I think you got non PPR Wow. Yeah, McKinnon, crow Well, Wilkins, Ingram,

especially early on. I like, I think I think a P is another running back to pair with mark Ingram for those drafting this weekend, because I could see Ap kind of fading as the season goes along. I think you can see a heavy workload early on in the season. Um, and that's kind of good to pair with Ingram, who we know won't be back until week five. So yeah, I think you have to draw about pcent. You're fab and it's tough, but you're herding for running backs here man. Yeah,

he absolutely is. Let's go back to perfect draft, perfect mock draft. Are you odds or evens? All? Right? So I have say Kwon Barkley. I want to take an elite wide receiver to pair with him. Now, that's interesting, and that is the last wide receiver that I have in this tier of elite, and that would be a J. Green Greggy. Now you were up with a team that drafted Antonio Brown with the fifth pick. We're gonna go with Team BFF from GFC. I believe it's the right move.

I know it's Devonte Freeman, absolutely, Wanta Freeman, who is no brainer to me. I don't know what number, probably twelve running back off the board. He's the next running back after Christian McCaffrey's twelve. Actually tell you that he's twelve. Good job, Frank, Yeah, good job. Yeah. Alright, So we're up to David Johnson the pick at pick four. Names that were considering here. Now it gets tough. This is the spot you don't want to be for gronk wide receivers.

I'm gonna go ahead and take the best running back off the board right now. Greg, I think he's the best player available. I don't want to pull t Y Hilton, Mike Evans, Stephon Digs up the board if you wanted to take Digs here, I don't have a problem with it. But I'm gonna go ahead and take Jordan Howard, someone who I am very very bullish on I haven't actually ranked higher than DeVante Freeman. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna pair Jordan Howard with David Johnson and a half PPR.

You get that eight plus reception upside out of David Johnson and then Jordan Howard. We know what he can do on the ground in terms of rushing yards, in terms of rushing touchdowns, maybe thirty thirty five receptions. But in the half PPR, I think he has top twelve upside number three where I have Ezekiel Elliott. Great, and I only have one question for you, Frank. What is your question? Greg? You know what it is? Can you

dig sucker? You're really embracing the Booker t persona the five time five you did the five time I didn't? Two times like the revival Dash Wild If we're guests in the programs, correct, can you just do two time two time every time we open the show now two times two times? Kick Ball champion? Oh at a big year this year? Many so we do like the New Day entrance? No, alright? Do do do? Alright? Just that. So pick two overall, well, you know I'm not gonna

take Jack McKinnon, that's for sure. I have Levy on Bell. Considering some wide receivers here, there's Aaron rods Rowns. However far we get, I'm gonna go ahead and take my next ranked wide receiver greg which is Mike Evans pair with Levan Bell. I know some people are worried the emergence of Chris Godwin Ryan Fitzpatrick. The first couple of games, the tight ends are there. I think Mike Evans bounced back this year. I think last year was his floor.

He finish his wide receiver twenty overall and PPR and half PPR. But I think he still does have that and upside. I could see him, you know, eclipsing a thousand maybe yards approached double digit touchdowns. That's gonna be

good enough for a borderline wide receiver. One. So at the number one spot, where obviously already owned Todd Gurley, I think one of the picks are easy and one is tough, because one you take t Y Hilton, who's the best player on the board, no question, He's the best wide receiver left, and I think that might end the Tyear. If you have t Y Hilton there, then the other players that I would be decided between you start off. The third round will be continue here our

Tyreek Hill, Adam Feeling, and Gronk. I think all three of those guys are in play for me, UM, and I think it's tough, like do I want to pair t Y Hilton and Tyreek Hilling and that's interesting when I'd rather go with the Gronk or to rather go with the safety of an Adam Feeling. I think it's a really, really tough spot. Frankie, Yeah, I agree with what you said about it. Probably not anybody else in the mix for me, not considering any of the running

backs here. Also want to pull them up the board again when you're drafting on the turn if you want to ensure that you get that RB two that you feel really comfortable with. And maybe you're pulling Alex Collins up the board or Jack McKinnon in your case because you like him, or a Joe Mixon. Um, But that's completely up to you. But I think you you laid it out correctly. One of either one of those running backs,

Adam Feeling or Tyree Kill or Gronk. One of those guys. Yeah, I think it has to be one of those guys. And and for my pick, I'm gonna go with Gronk. I think he's the best player on the board left. I think he's the number one and most dynamic guy. I'm gonna go with Rob Gronkowski. What do you think? I don't think it's a terrible pick either, because you

have arguably the top running back in football. You have a borderline wide receiver one a top twelve wide receiver in t Y Hilton, and you pair that with um, you know, arguably the top tight end. I think, not arguing when he plays, he is the top. He's the top tight end. Um, I wouldn't. I probably would have taken Tyreek Kill myself. Um, yeah, I don't. I don't hate the Gronkill. With that, we signed off YouTube for

the week. Good luck in your draft apps. If you're watching us on a video, of course, if you're listening to us on the radio or podcast, we will be here for the next five minutes or so. Make sure you like the podcast, you give us five stars, you leave a comment, and you reading us and subscribe. Obviously we really appreciate it. Frank um do you want to take more calls. You want to finish the third round. M hmm, let's see more calls, all right? So we're

really just gonna get through two rounds. Yeah, and I will the turns tough with the Levian Bell team. If I take Mike Evans in a second, I would take Tyree kill here, you would kill because I have that safety of Levian Bells. My RB one ready? Then who do I have Shoup? Who do I have Zeke? And who? Three? You probably just run through this real quick, right, Who do I have a Zeke? Who do I have Zeke?

And Stefon Diggs. That's not good, yeah, because now you're screwed and you don't Adam Feeling that Adam Feeling is the best player on the board and I can't take him. I don't you can. He's like a disaster. This is really bad. I see a running back name that I'm not saying Alex Collins here, I won't. I won't do that. This is really tough. Is where I want to take Jarek McKinnon in the early third round f PPR, I wouldn't do where where you rank him, I wouldn't do it.

This is really tough man is worth that so terribly. All right, you know what, I think the best player on my board, just like Adam Feeling, I gotta do that. I think he's the best player. I think he's the best player on the board. It would have been pretty I have not David Johnson, Jordan Howard and then get Adams. I've now learned, by the way, officially that the fourth pick, third and fourth pick of my least favorite in the draft. They're hard, Yeah, it is. It is tough. They're on

the turn. I mean, sometimes things happen that you don't expect expect um. Like last week, I did a draft where I took Levi on Bell and A. J. Green fell back to me in the second round, and then because I shored up those positions, I felt that I could take So what do you do here? So David Johnson, Jordan Howard receiver? You need a wide receiver. Um. But honestly, it's something that I did in the Flex league, and you don't end up loving You're don't end up loving

your wide receiver corps. But I think when you're at this third pick, this is probably a lesson to be learned. You probably just take the running back. I mean the wide receiver in the second to pair with David Johnson. But I'm gonna start three running backs the draft. I'm gonna take Alex Collins because he's the best player on my board. I don't feel great about taking Dug Baldwin as my wide receiver one. Don't feel great about Amari Cooper.

At this point in the early third round, Joe Mixon is in the mix as well to join Alex Collins. What Collins is my best player on the board, so I have him. They're going at three four, alright, three five means I have Antonio Brown and him. That gives me the opportunity to select Doug Baldwin. Here, I have a wide receiver one balls in my wide receiver two. He has the ability to wide receiver one. He knows

to be out there week one. I don't know about his health, but I'll take double ball at five, so I picked six. This team has se Kwon Barkley and A J. Green, So because I have a J. Green, I don't want to double down on the Cincinnati Bengals offense and take Joe Mixon. I don't want him as my RB two, so I will take Um because I feel safe with se Kwon Barkley as my RB one, and you know, I just pooh pooed it two picks ago.

But I'll take a Mari Cooper here. And in my opinion, I like Alex Collins a lot more than I do a Marii Cooper. So he's the best player on the board. I mean, if you want to, if you just want to take the running back and pair Joe makes him with a J. Green. I again, because I'm not doing it, I wouldn't recommend doing that. But if Greg has this pick, he probably takes Derrick McKinnon. I probably takes him as his RB two. If someone listening or watching out there,

we're not watching anymore. But if you wanted to take in here Um in the third round, that might make sense. Who's what's up that Alvin Kamara and DeVante Adams pick seven grade? Yeah, so with Alvin Kamara and DeVante Adams, you know, I probably should have done with this team. Probably shuld have taken Travis Kelsey, yeah, team before I just don't. I don't like to do that in the third round Alvin Kamara and with who you know, I

made him. I made a mistake. And I redo my pick. Yeah. Sure, I'm gonna eliminate a Marie Cooper and I'm gonna take Kenyan Drake. Really yes, in the middle of the third round. Okay, I feel a lot better about that. Good. That means my next pick, I'm gonna do my top wide receiver. That's Larry Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald over Cooper by one spot. So I'll tell Larry Fitzgerald the parrot dabante Adams. Alright, So

just to recap, it's the third round. It's been Tyreek Hill. No, it's been Gronk Tyreek Hill, Adam Feeling, Alex Collins, Doug Baldwin, Kenyan Drake, Larry Fitzgerald. This is now the Kareem Hunt and Keenan Allen team. Um, and I think he's fallen too far, and I'll take Joe Mixon. Okay, I don't think he's volunt too far. You don't like you're out on the bank. Yeah, I'm out of the bankals in general. Alright,

what's up next? You have Melvin Gordon and Michael Thomas together. Yeah, so this is the perfect spot to me to put a Marie Cooper on that team. I agree because I think you have consistency, safe floor weekend and week out from Melvin Gordon and Michael Thomas as your RB one and wide receiver one. You go ahead and take that chance, perfect Cooper I lacked out a lot as well. Yeah, I like that a lot. I think it's a good call.

So here we got DeAndre Hopkins and Christian McCaffrey. Now do we want to pull some running backs up the board. There's still Sean McCoy, there's Derrick Henry, there's a tight ends that we've mentioned, and then the next ranked wide receiver. I think that's when we start to dip into a new tier right at the wide receiver position, Uly, Jervis Landry, guys like that. So I think Travis Kelsey is the best player on the board here to pair DeAndre Hopkins

at TMC. Have you RB one, you have your wide receiver one, You go ahead and take Travis Kelsey, who is easily a top three tight end. Okay, and you don't have to worry about that position for the rest of the drink. For me at eleven, by the way, I would Jerry mckins going too far, like I think Jeremykin at three eleven three twelve, Odell Beckham, Dalvin Cook. I would take Royce Freeman as one of them, not Denry, not Derrek, henryany Freman ran higher, Royce Freeman and probably

a wide receiver, Garviss Landry. That's it. We're done. Fantasy football Frenzy comes your way next or Frankie Stambil. My name is Greg Selsman. Good luck this weekend. We can't wake up here all about it on Tuesday. Enjoy it, stay say we'll see him. I'm
