Last year, too

... really good pass rusher that you know.

Exa- and, and whether it's the substation or practice regimen, I don't know.

But, like, the- I don't know how good this Niners team will be when it gets to the postseason.

You are heavily reliant on Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle.

They don't have Deebo Samuel for a while.

Brandon Aiyuk remains a mystery, literally driving around wherever.

He should be a head coach.

Yeah.

That's a big thing.

And, and if Kenneth Walker stays healthy all year, I do think there's gonna be highs within his market right now.

He's a Super Bowl MVP winner from last year, and he's not being recognized that way.

We talked about that on the SEN Challenge episode two as well.

Um, I, I, I do wonder if you're gonna end up seeing something like DeAndre Swift.

Like if, if we believe, again, I'm hoping that Caleb Williams comes back within two weeks, maybe in that range.

Split time, yeah

[laughs]

You know what also is amazing? Romeo Doubs is gone.

Davian Wicks is gone.

This rotation for the Packers has actually shrunk to a level that I can sink my teeth into something of notice finally.

Now, I know you's heard me talk about this on this show before.

His efficiency metrics are completely off the charts.

And, and just to name a couple of my favorites, you know, 2.66 yards per outrun, 23.9% targets per outrun.

Like [laughs]

Sure

...

if that's the market to go to as well, given what you allude to.

It's not just this draft class, but last draft, last draft class, too.

Just devoid of quarterbacks that have a lot of value.

And again, Fernando Mendoza being the number one overall pick this year, well, his cards are already a hard chase anyway, so it just becomes tough.

With those four, Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix, um, Caleb Williams, and Drake May, I, I think that there's some order Drake May, Caleb Williams undeniably.

That's fair

... then I'll just take Bijan, uh, at one or two." I- is there daylight between Robinson and Gibbs? Is it that clear cut that these guys have to be one and two in your fantasy drafts?

Yeah, this is how much of a sicko I am.

I do a bunch of different best ball drafts.

That's where you draft and then have your rosters just played out for the entire year.

You don't actually make any roster decisions.

That impacts how I decide the ADP.

Maybe there's value points.

Your strategy on quarterbacks, 'cause I feel like this has changed throughout the years and certainly decades, do you still look later in your draft, even for those big name quarterbacks here, if we feel like there's better value at other positions? Where are you in the quarterback position for drafting?

I gotta be honest, I can't say I'm shocked, Joe, that the first player on your list is a certain tight end for the Green Bay Packers.

Packers.Yeah, Tucker Kraft, uh, he is my guy this year.

I think last year I became the don't draft Travis Hunter guy.

So if I could have a claim to fame, if I can, can, uh, pat myself on the back, I was successful with the don't draft Travis Hunter at his ADP.

I just became the don't draft anybody.

Like, it was Jakari Cross-Kimara, I didn't really wanna draft him as well, too.

Treyven Henderson at the end of the third round by end of August.

You're not so sure, uh, he's going to be the tight end one this year.

... as you start looking at the queue, you start looking at some names still available, who's speaking to you if you're targeting a late tight end?

Yeah, in fact, I actually did make my very first, uh, tight end selection here in round 10 of this draft.

Again, you can listen on SiriusXM channel 87 right now.

They are discussing, again, hopefully good strategy by me, although we'll see if, uh, waiting to get Isaiah Likely as the last starting tight end is the choice.

But I, I'm of the belief, and this was a lot more prominent before Malik Nabers seems to be coming back and m- maybe ready for week one, that Isaiah Likely was the pocket pick in this range.

Now, there's other guys.

Mark Andrews has been getting a lot of steam.

Who is the guy that you, you say, "I can just park him in my lineup, I draft him late, and I don't really need to stress about it that much throughout the season"?

Give people your credentials, who you are.

Yeah, I think, uh, impressive probably is a bit too strong of a word but, um, I've been, I've been in the fantasy sports industry now 10 years.

Um, an NFL editor for 10 years of them as well too.

Was...

I was a credentialed NFL draft reporter, uh, the past two years, the draft in Green Bay and Pittsburgh as well too.

Um, I have a SiriusXM show now.

I think we do four times a week during this July-August period.

Sure.

Yep

... that's what the answer is gonna be for every NFC North team.

It's not so much the Jimmys and the Joes, if we're gonna do a college ball reference, but far more of the coaching personnel that is in the NFC North.

I think this division has the best, um, collection of coaches, coordinators and otherwise, that you will see anywhere in the NFC.

And I don't know if Ben Johnson will do as many trick plays, I think that's just part of who he is, but realistically the answer should be Luther Burden, Adun Zay, Colston Loveland, and a rushing attack that we believe to be really good with Kam沿 Bay and DeAndre Swift, coupled with an offensive line that probably isn't gonna take a dramatic step back.

You mentioned the Garrett Bradbury trade, the Logan Jones selection.

I, I think Drew Dolman was a little bit over-hyped, um, because the Bears offense was so bad in previous years, and now wasn't just like god-awful, it was only like mediocre to good.

Yeah
