What's up everybody? Welcome to the Sunday night mock draft stream presented by FanDuel. I'm your host, Simon, joined, as always, by my unbelievably handsome co-host, John Luke Graffalo. What's up, J.L. What up? How you doing? You've called me unbelievably handsome now two days in a row. And yes, I do keep track. It's just what I've been feeling.   I can't think anything but beautiful whenever I look at that face. Guys, we got some people in the chat ready for today's show, ready for today's mock draft. Before we get into that, though, I did want to let everybody know that we have a couple of spots left in this mock draft. We have three spots left. I'm going to throw that link in the chat one more time. I know it's in there a couple of times, but if you want to draft along with us, it's going to start promptly at 7.15. If it's not full before then we just have to make a new one and then no one gets to play. But we got three spots left. So if you want to join and draft along with us and join and draft along with us, there's a couple spots left in there, only two left now. So we got one of those filled up. We'll see if we get those fill off. There are a couple more reminders in there before, before that time comes. We got Craig in the chat with us. I think you guys need a referee or guide on these crazy draft rules shows to make sure you all make the right choices. I know, right? We need somebody who could be one of the right brothers and he comes on a referees with us. Mr. Scavers in the chat. What's up? Says I'm not crazy. You're crazy. I'm not crazy. You're crazy. I know. Yeah. The first time I wasn't convinced, but when you said it the second time, it really hit home. Makes way more sense. Albert in the chat. What's up, Albert? Hello. Welcome in. And we got Damon here. Hello. Hi. Hey, what's up, Dave? Glad to have you here. Geek hippie. What's up everybody? Stuff to you as well. And Maria said you're both in handsome. Wow. You know what? I'm always up here calling people handsome. It's nice to have someone else throw that in the chat. Geek hippie in here saying I grabbed a spot and this is the damn first saying I agree. Ooh. Gonna give me a little flustered in here. Everyone stop it right there. Guys, before we get into our mock draft, I want to remind everyone a couple of things. We're here every Sunday at 7 p.m. Eastern time leading into the season doing some mock drafts. Then once the season starts, we're going to switch it up.

It's just a killer team.  Guys, we got Albert here saying I have my homely draft tonight. I have picked four JL knowing nothing else about this league. Let's assume it's one quarterback, probably at least half PPR, maybe full PPR. Who's the guy that you're looking at here at the four spot or maybe like a tier of guys that you're looking at if they make it to you. Because there's like the best case scenario where somebody falls to that four spot that you weren't expecting. But if you have the four spot, what's your game plan going into that draft? So I drafted this morning, Crab Cake Invitational League. It is a league with people from the industry, creators in this industry who live in Maryland. And I was picking from the fifth spot. So it's a redraft league. I was picking from the fifth spot. So I am just perfectly suited to answer this question. I took Cooper Cup and I was very, very happy with it. It feels like after CMC, after John of the Taylor, I don't feel like super strongly about who to go with. It's either going to be one of those two wider receivers, Justin Jefferson, Cooper Cup. And I'm taking Cooper Cup over Justin Jefferson in redraft. So your pick four, I think Cooper Cup is a good person to target. I think so too, JL. What I'm really looking at there is if Christian McCaffrey or JT make it to me at that spot, it's probably where I'm going. Yes. I'm not a heavy running back early guy. But if one of those two guys falls to me at the fourth spot, that's when I'm grabbing. If not, it's my ranking goes Cup, Jefferson, Chase, but one of those, we just named five players. At least one of those guys is going to be available at that spot. I'm looking at one of those two running backs. You could consider Austin Eckler there at the four if you wanted to, or one of those three wide receivers is where I'm drafting. And then what the draft would fall to you after that? Who's your third running back? Austin Eckler. And so are you like, how early are you comfortable taking Austin Eckler? Would you take them at the three spot one or three? If you want a running back early. So like with me, I'm a lot more comfortable starting off receiver in the first round than maybe some people are, but I know a lot of people, like if they've got one of those early spots, they want to lock up one of these star running backs. Right. If I'm at that three spot and I want to take a running back and JT and CMC are gone, I am fully comfortable. I think Austin Eckler is totally worthy of a number three overall pick. Now, if I'm sitting there, I'm probably grabbing Cooper cup, Justin Jefferson, but I think Austin Eckler is a totally fair pick at that point. Yeah. Eckler and Najee, I have them like grouped in a tier for PBR. And I would be totally comfortable going either of those guys at that four spot too. Yeah. I think it's fine. But again, at the four spot, I generally find myself going wide receiver more, but good luck, Albert. Let us know how it goes. If we're still up here whenever, whenever that draft starts, if not tomorrow or in our discord, and it looks like he wants Justin Jefferson. So sitting right there with that said America, Justin Jefferson, America, America. Guys, we still have two spots left in this draft. If you want to draft with us, grab one and draft along. Yes. Link is in the chat. We got to fill this up in the next five minutes. Make sure we're ready to go. So grab one of those spots. And if it's any, if it makes it juicier for you, this is going to be a normal half PPR. I was going to say, you kind of buried lead, but Jail and I are following some special rules in the draft today. No one else has to follow them. But what we are going to be doing is before every single one of our picks, we will be randomizing the NFL team that we have to draft a player from. We've got all 32 teams listed in a random generator for us. Every time before we pick, we're going to hit that button, find out what team we have to draft a player from. And that's how we're going to be drafting our teams today. So really putting that stay water to the test today. We're going to, we're going to have to stay really fluid during our draft today, Jail. Yes. I was going to say, do you have any strategy going into this, but you can't really, right? No, there's the best player from the team. Yeah. 100%. That's my strategy. Best player available on that team. Mr. Scamper says, I have to follow them. Please generate mine too. Mr. Scamper is I'll, I'll, I think I can share that link. I think I can share mine, the one I'm using in one second, NFL teams. You're going to share it with them if they want to, if they want to draft along with us or follow the rules with us as well. Yeah. Yeah. I think this will work. All right. I'm going to share your link. It's going to be in the chat. Okay. So guys, if you want to follow the rules with us, feel free to use this wheel to spin before you pick. Yeah, before, after you pick, if you did. Yeah. Do tell us if you're doing that. That'll make it more fun for us to follow along with you. I guess they're used to serious questions, comments from me. Did we get a serious question from Craig that we skipped over in here, Jail? Superflex redraft, Stafford or Tua slash Mooney. Is it Tua and Mooney or Tua or Mooney? I think it's Tua and Mooney, I would guess. Like this is a trade maybe. Stafford, Superflex redraft, Stafford for Tua and Mooney. Give me Tua and Mooney. Give me Tua and Mooney. It's not, it's not even close for me. I like Stafford, but I, I am higher on Tua than normal this year. So it's a downgrade from a high end QB1, a mid-level to high end QB1 to a low end QB1 in my eyes. Like we're talking in that 12, 13 range for Tua. And then Mooney, you get a guy who's a, I feel like his floor is a wide receiver too with the volume that he's going to get, but he's got the ceiling to be a wide receiver one, a top 12 guy. That's a slam dunk for me on that front. We got David, doing the wheel foe show. Maria said, I got a team. What if someone else has the same team? And it's not one team for the whole draft. Every single pick, you're going to randomize it to tell you what team you have to pick from. So it's not like JL has chiefs for the whole draft because that would be a really boring fantasy draft. That would be really boring. But each time, so round one, JL only spent it, and it says Browns. Round two, he spends it, it says Lions. Round three, he spends it, it says Chargers. And so each pick will be randomized before we get in there and do that, because we are approaching time for this draft to start. Got a couple spots left. If you haven't joined already, hit that link and join us for this draft. I'm excited for this one, JL. This is one of the more fun rules that we've had in the past. Yes. I'm excited too. I don't think we did the rules last week, but ever since we've been doing the rules, I'm looking forward to this. What have we done so far? We did, Sam, what were the other rules that we did? Why can't I remember a single one of them? We did ages. Ages? Yeah, ages was fun. Oh, then we did divisions. We did divisions where each people got two divisions. Or no, it was two, you got a direction. So you had the south divisions, the west divisions, the east divisions. Yeah, something like that. And Craig said, okay, I'm doing the wheel. Chiefs first. I guess we could go ahead and spin our wheel for our first pick. I'll find out what they're going to be. I'm going to go ahead and pick my random item. It's loading right now. It's working with the chat, correct? I need people from the Jack firm. I got my first round pick is the Seahawks. It is the Seahawks. Oh, who's the best pick from the Seahawks? That's disgusting. I have to reach in this first round. Oh, God, I hope I don't get the first overall pick. And I have to sit there and look at all these names, the Jonathan Taylor's, the Christian McCaffrey's. You, depending on where you are, that could be very good for you. You've got two names that could be great for you at that point in the first round jail, I feel like. Yeah. But I feel like we'll see if Tim is in this draft, because if Tim is in this draft and I'm screwed. Yeah, absolutely. We will see. Guys, we got about 30 seconds. We need one more person in there. See if we can get one more in there before this is supposed to start. Otherwise, we're going to be redoing it. Yeah, we'll be starting over. Maybe we make it a slightly smaller draft pool because if it's going on right there, guys, if you haven't joined already, go ahead and hit that join button. Oh, no. Negative two seconds it says. The contest has been voided. Guys, we're going to have to make a new one real quick. Jay, I'll go ahead and get that pulled up. We can get a new one started. I'm going to make it eight teams and we'll go from there. So give me one. Meanwhile, I will be answering any and all of your questions, fantasy football related or not. So throw them in the chat. That's what I'm here for. Come on, persons. Mr. Scampers said that seems messed up coming from a cat. We can say that, but you can't say that. Do you already say Dame got Broncos?  But the middle. There's at least one name that I think could work for. Givante Williams. Yeah, you can grab Givante Williams early. Tim Batchard. Okay. Let's see. I'm sending this out to everybody right there. NBA rigged in the chat. It's Simon and JL. Happy Sunday to both of you beautiful folks. How was your day? My day has been fantastic. Thank you for asking NBA rigged. How's your day going? Happy Sunday to you as well. Let's see. Okay. JL, I just sent you the link in Slack and I'm sending this out to everybody in the chat as well. So guys, we got a new link in here. Eight teams that we're going to be doing in this one. So even everybody that joined last time isn't going to be able to get in on this, but join that draft. If you want to draft along with us and we'll get this started momentarily. How's your day been? It's been pretty good, NBA. It's been pretty good. Geek wants to know, do we think Fields will be better this year? Oh, you have, did you ask this on purpose Geek hippie? Because I feel like this is one of my soap boxes that I like to stand on. This is one of my soap boxes. This is one of my soap boxes I like to stand on. This is, I think Fields is absolutely going to be better this year. Like everyone talks about the hindrance that coaching was for Trevor Lawrence and his success and his development last year with Urban Meyer and Jacksonville. But I hear notes about how bad of a coach Nagy was, but we're not giving that same, that same energy towards Justin Fields. Matt Nagy arguably on field was worse for Justin Fields than Urban Meyer was for Trevor Lawrence. And I believe that to my core when you go back and watch the game. What happened with that guy? They designed an offense for Andy Dalton is what they did. And then they plugged Justin Fields into it and didn't change a freaking thing. Justin Fields and Andy Dalton, not the same player. Like not at all. Justin Fields, this guy, look at him last year, whenever he does get out of the pocket, whenever he escapes the pocket, he's electric. They're going to design that a lot more for him this year. They're going to design more runs for him. He can't be too much worse. That was an unbelievably inefficient offense last year, but I'm expecting improvements from Justin Fields. And I know people are down on this bears offense, but improvements from the bears offense in general. I don't think it can get worse even with Alan Robinson leaving. I don't think that offense can get worse as long as coaching is average at best. Jail, what do you think on this one? I generally agree with you. I think Justin Fields will be better this year. I still just baffled. Oh, draft is starting in 30 seconds. Just so you know, Jail, like what happened, Matt Nagy? We were so excited when you started. And then all of a sudden, like last year, the way that they were using Justin Fields, honestly, it was incoherent. Even I feel like even if you don't know what you're doing, you can still go in there and at least use Justin Fields, how that he was using college and get some insight from it. They just didn't use them in any meaningful way.  My God, this might have been one of the absolute worst teams I could have gotten for my first round pick. What'd you get? Seahawks. I got the Seattle Seahawks. Oh, that is the worst. You know what? I'm not taking DK Metcalf. I know who I'm taking. And it goes against everything I like to do in these drafts. But like I feel like I got to take, like this is the best player, the player I want on my team most from this team. I'm going to take Russell Wilson with my team. Javante Williams versus Javante. We're all big. Dave, let us know. Let us know the rest of the draft, who you get in there. Because if anybody's just watching this and doesn't know what our rules are today, they're going to be, you know, what's up? Why did you pick Russell Wilson? Because I didn't want DK Metcalf or Tyler Lockett. This is someone I at least want to know. Simon, what team is Russell Wilson on this?  No.  And at least it's still a terrible first round pick. I get to name the animal.  All right, tell me, tell me, Simon, I need to know what does an anteater sound like? Okay, yeah, one second. Let me, let me get in the head of an anteater. That's no problem. I just got to get into character.  I have nothing to cross reference that with. So as far as I'm concerned, that was incredibly accurate. The most accurate anteaters I've ever made. Oh, and I need to go ahead and randomize my next team. This is going to get, this is going to get hard to keep track of. I already messed up on the very first one, but I got the bills as my next one. That's a nice one. That's my next one. Yeah. Okay, I am on the clock now. That's my first round pick. I spun the wheel because I kind of forgot that I was still up. I'm going to take Justin Jefferson here. He's still here. Yeah, that checks out. Big surprise. Big whoop. Yeah, there's really only two guys that are reasonable to take here and one that I really want to take. I mean, I cannot believe I got the Seahawks and I drafted Russell Wilson, just went on to Russell Wilson autopilot. I was like, no, I don't want DK Metcalf. Yeah, I know. Your explanation to it was perfect. Who else am I going to pick? Also, I see someone in here asking what the rules are guys. We are using a wheel to randomly generate what team we have to draft from next jail. Did you go ahead and do that? I did. I have the Steelers, which is fantastic because I'm going to get to draft my guy. Okay. I accidentally drafted him, but that's exactly what I want. Naji Harris. You got who you wanted and it follows the rules. Jail, can you post the link to the wheel in the chat again for other people that might want to play along? I see Jay while asking, what are the rules? But we are randomizing the NFL team that we have to draft from going into each of these picks is how we're doing it. And I know Mr. Scampers is playing along. Dame is playing along and Craig is playing along as well. I love that. I love that they're playing along and they ain't going to Vonte William source of a roll because it's not a bad pick, but it's just like, of course, that's just like a rule pick. It's a silly rule. I made a bad pick and it was wrong. I followed the rule incorrectly and made a bad pick. That's what was happening in my head because I saw you pick Russell Wilson and I saw Dame was drawn to Williams and I was like, I don't think they had the same people. Like, I don't think, how are they both Broncos? And then I was like, why did you pick a quarterback in the first round? Early round, first round. Okay, bills. Well, here we go. This one actually worked out. I got some Stefan digs in there is what we got right now. This is going to get gross if like, I keep getting receivers and all of a sudden we're in the 10th round. I have to draft a running back and I get like the Falcons and Patsy Pats already off the board. Know what I mean? Like it's, it's just going to get absolutely gross. Oh, I took, I took Cordero Patterson in my draft earlier, Simon. And I feel like every time I draft him this year, I have these simultaneous feeling of both, wow, I just got a ton of value and wow, I just wasted a pick. And every single time, it doesn't matter where I get him. That's how I feel about Cordero Patterson. Jail, my next team is the Chargers. That's solid. I got the Bears. And there is, there is, I'm really hoping Dane or Joey does not take the one Chargers player that's sitting right there at the top of the freaking draft board that I would really love to pick with my next pick. That would be beautiful. Don't do it, Joey. Don't do it, Joey. I'll Dane asked me to put the link in the discord. I'm sorry I did not see that in time. I'll do that now. I don't know what channel to put it in. Announcements? I'll put it in, sure. All right, I got the Bears next.  So Joey's up. And it's about to take Austin Eckler, I feel like right here. He is at the top. Mike Evans. So now I get to draft Austin Eckler. He's on the Chargers, right? I didn't mess that up. It says Chargers right there next year. Yeah, he's on the Chargers. Also, I see Dane with Amon Ross, St. Brown there. I'm guessing she got Lyons. Jill, you got Bears. Yeah, oh my. There's an oh my joke in there. And I've got 49ers up next. I really, Fandall, if you're listening, please, I would really, just for the purposes of this individual stream right here, like to be able to build their bike. Yeah. It's probably not useful for anybody else any other time, but. But you have no idea how many people are randomizing the team for their draft. I think it's happening just nonstop. Could be anybody. Oh man. Yeah, this gets. I'm scrolling down for the Bear. I haven't seen a single Bear. Yeah, that's what happened with me with the Seahawks. I just kept scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and I finally found DK Metcalf. I guess Mooney. Is Mooney the highest? Is the highest Bear you're drafting? For me, yes. David Montgomery's ADP might be higher. That's a good question. I wonder where his ADP is. And he already went. So, Dane took David Montgomery. I'm guessing, oh, that's, this is extra tough for Dane because they got to do it back to back. Like they got to prep and you're right there on that turn as well, Jail. So, it's not too much further from you. Oh, that's a good point. That's a good reminder. I will re-spin my wheel. See who I get after this Bears. I got the Colts. That's maybe okay. Oops. I keep queuing players and then they're not on the team that I'm a lot of draft from anymore. So, I need to unqueue them. Okay. Okay. I got three players in my queue. Hopefully, at least one of them makes it to me. Craig said Jaguar's in round four. That's... I mean, I guess there's one Jaguar that's going that early usually. James Robinson. Christian Kirk. Christian Kirk. Evan Ingram. And then, Dane says, how do you draft someone in the queue? So, you can add them to your queue using that star button on the players, and then you can go over to the queue and there should just be a plus button that shows up whenever it's your turn to draft, where you can just click that green plus.  I just did it on the screen. Okay. Man. We never tell people to go back in time. Maybe we should do that more. They can. Oh, man. My team, even though I broke the rule on the first one so far, my team's actually looking all right. It's just that I took Russell Wilson in the first round completely out of the system. Far from that. George Kittle is where I'm going on this one. 49ers. I got George Kittle on my team. It's early, but that's okay at least. Yeah. I'm not mad about it. It's definitely a little bit too early to take George Kittle, but it could be a lot worse. What's the protocol if you get the same team again, back to back? Do it again. Spin the wheel again? No. Pick from that team again. Did you get the same team again? I got Colts again. I got the Eagles for my next one is who I got. Colts don't really have a lot of people. A lot of people in skill position, right? You got Pittman. You got John Detailer, obviously. But that's like the next drop off from Pittman is Alec Pierce. You got Naim Hines. Okay. Same question, but Naim Hines. Yeah. I think that is the next drop off. That's massive. How does that affect your thinking of the team or like the teams, like those assets from a fantasy perspective on that team? Makes me feel a lot more comfortable in the guys like Michael Pittman and Jonathan Taylor.  Know what I mean? It's going to be Michael Pittman as the lead guy there. Alec Pierce might get thrown in, but I'm not expecting Alec Pierce to be some crazy high target player in his first season. Like Michael Pittman is the established receiver open. I'm on the clock and I got to go with the Eagles. So AJ Brown, welcome to the squad. Hey, look, that's a player. I remembered what team he was on. That's true. I can't stop drafting AJ Brown. You can't? I feel like I haven't been drafting him a lot. He just, it feels like he's a value in every draft, but I'm so bullish on him this year. I think he's going to be fantastic. How come? What makes you think he's going to be so good in this offense? I mean, he's coming from a low pass volume to another low pass volume offense. Right. Right. And I think that's like keeping people's expectations tempered a bit because they're like, oh, it's just going to be the same. But AJ Brown, look at what AJ Brown was able to do in that low volume pass offense in Tennessee. He's crazy talented. And I think that this Eagles team is just like looking for that piece that's just going to, they're just going to feed and they're looking for like that Derek Henry, the Derek Henry of their team. And I'm hoping that it's AJ Brown. I have no idea who could go here, Simon. What team do you have? I have the Colts again. This is the word. I just got Falcons for my next pick. And Naim Hines, you didn't want to go Matt Ryan? No, not at all. Joey and here, Lions then said Saints for me. And then Craig said Brown's next for me. And J-Will said Cowboys next. I got the Falcons next. And there is one player that I'll be happy to draft and one player that I will draft if I have to. Kyle. Oh, no. And Craig got Steelers for the next one. Frowny face. Not happy about that. And there's a couple teams where I get the beginning. You're excited to get them. But then whenever you get them later, it kind of falls off. Yeah, it depends where you are in this draft. That's completely affects it. Man, this is a Naim Hines. I should have gone Alec Pierce. I got the Cowboys. Hey, that's not bad. There's some options over there. Oh, and you picked before J-Will. J-Will got Cowboys as well. And you picked before him. So, but J just took them from you, J-Will. No. So you don't get CDLM. Neither you or J-Will get CDLM. Oh, no. What are you taking out? Zeke? Let's look at my team. I got 12 seconds. Two running backs, three wide receivers. I'm going Zeke. I desperately need a running back. It's got to be Zeke. Yeah, it's got to be Zeke. Oh, man. We'll see. The next three picks are really going to determine. But Craig can't take my guy. J-Will can't take my guy. But TV Geek could take. Oh, we got Jaguars for Geek hippie. Yuck. I love the Geeks playing too. Man, this is, it changes the whole draft. I love that you guys are playing along with us. Nobody had to. You guys could have just been left. I don't know why we didn't expect that. This entire time. Yeah. Okay. Here we go. Oh, I got Craig. We're going to have the best tight end core in this league with George Middle and Kyle Pitts. Tightest of end. The tightest of end. That's actually, I feel like Kyle Pitts is a good value here. But I guess it's because most of the people in this draft are drafting way, way higher than ADP on these other fours. It's going to be funny when we get around or like everybody gets the Texans. Okay. Let's see what my next team is. My next team is the Bengals. The Bengals. The Bengals, the Cincinnati Bengals. I don't know who's next from the Bengals. There's a couple guys left. Okay. That could be good. This is our guy, T. Higgins. He is still sitting there, but there's a couple people picking before me. He's another one I'm trying to get. Man. Everywhere. It's almost like these guys are my guys. I should maybe make a video about that. It's a great idea, Jail. Yeah, maybe. That is a great idea, Jail. Who was it? Was it Jake Trowbridge who said the other day he's got T. Higgins ahead of Jamar Chase in his rankings for this year? Interesting. What do you think about that? Because he got some heat for it. I don't think I have Jamar Chase higher. I don't want to say that I don't, but I do not think it's as ridiculous as it take as some people made it seem like. What do you think, Jail? I don't think it's as ridiculous as it take as some people made it seem like either, Simon. Oh, I'm glad we're in agreement there. No, but we very much saw like a 1A-1B scenario from them last year, and there were stretches where T. Higgins was the primary target in that offense. Jamar Chase has that big playability. Everybody knows that. It's not, you know, that's not news. T. Higgins, he's going to be the less watched guy, but he was putting up solid, solid production with upside. Maybe not as high as Jamar Chase's upside, but still some pretty decent upside for a fantasy wide receiver. Let's see. What did we get? The Saints for me next. Jail also said Saints next for me. No. I hate it whenever I see a team that I'm doing. Chris O'Laby. No, he's got Eagles next. And Craig also has Eagles. And Mr. Scammers, and you're saying, this is called the ADP Destruction Hot Trap. This is corporate sabotage is what's happening. Live on their own channels. Yeah. The sabotage hand-dules ADP. They did this to themselves. Okay. So I've got the Saints next. Have fun, they said. Jail, who do you have with your next pick? What'd you ask me? Who do you have with your next pick? Because you're up next. I got the cards. Okay. That's not bad. I don't remember you saying that. Did you say that out loud? And I just think it was good. I did say that out loud. Hey, do you know which state cardinals are the third up? Arizona, Jersey, North Carolina, Georgia. I'm guessing not Georgia, because you took a minute to think of that one. This is a Jeopardy question. I think you came up with, isn't it? Oh, I don't know. I think so. I think you asked us that. Oh my God, how far do I? I'm never going to find another New Orleans Saints player in this. Oh my God. I went James Conner with my pick. I'm just trying to remedy this Naheem Hine's reach where I took him before Ezekiel Elliott and James Conner. Jail, the next two Saints players are Jamis Winston and Jarvis Landry. Oh, Jarvis. The Lave gone? Yeah. Who took a Lave? All these people getting Saints. The Lave all just took, oh my God. Jail was a menace. So I'm guessing Michael Thomas has gone as well. Yeah, clearly. So, man. So it's either Winston or Landry for me. Is Ingram still on the board? I could take Mark Ingram, but I don't want to. I would rather have. I don't want to. Oh my God. This is way too early for any of these guys. Okay, Jail, what team do you have for this one? I have the Steelers. I'm trying to recall. I feel like I maybe missed somebody in that list, but I had to scroll down. I think Pat Fryermuth is the next best guy. Oh, no. The time runs out so quick. I don't know. Fandall has found a way to make 30 seconds shorter. They're innovating on time. Yeah. Okay. Pat Fryer took. I don't know if, I'm guessing Deontay Johnson was taken. Yeah, Deontay Johnson was taken a while ago. Was Chase Claypool? I don't remember if Chase Claypool was taken. How do you feel about him? I feel like he's won every single draft I'm in. I'm like, wow, that's pretty late. Let me grab James Winston right here real quick, and then we can keep going. All the James you need. That was disgusting. That did not feel good to take James Winston there. What this team is going to end up looking like is a decent 14 team league team, I think, instead of an 18 league. How do I feel about Chase Claypool? I feel like where he's going, I'm not in on Chase Claypool this year. I think with the change at quarterback, I think with Mitch Trubisky, it's going to be better for him than if Kenny Pickett is starting. But we'll see. There's a lot of mouths to feed in that offense. They added George Pickins, who looks like he's killing it in the pre-season so far. But at cost, where you're drafting Claypool, we've seen big burst games from him before. We know he's talented. We know he's got the athleticism. Where you can, where you're drafting him now, take that shot. He's the kind of guy you can grab and see how the Steelers are using him early in the season. And look, Dame just took Chase Claypool as we spoke about it. Yeah, that's that's kind of the sentiment I've been feeling Simon, where it's like it's so late. And whatever, believe what you will, say what you will about Chase Claypool and, you know, his, his ability. He's shown that he has talent on the football field. And so if you can get a guy with that, who's shown multiple flashes of that, that late, I like that. Those are the types of guys I like drafting later. Do I take Alec Pierce or Matt Ryan? Well, let's look at your team. You could definitely use Matt Ryan, looking at your, your quarterbacks. Well, I just took Alec Pierce. Alec Pierce is a, is a good pick. I probably should have taken him instead of 90 minds. Alec Pierce, I just thought. Your team's pretty decent. I got Russell and James. I don't need, I don't need Matt Ryan yet, but that could have also been my opportunity for a third quarterback. Because I might need one with James as my second guy. Like I don't want to roll into the season with just those two guys. My next team is the Rams is who I got next. I got the commanders next. I don't think I mentioned that. J. Wells to Texans next, which means I get everyone's one-on-one Damien Pierce. And he grabbed him. He already did it. Grabbed him. Grabbed him good. Are you buying into the Damien Pierce hype? I'm not drafting him where he's being drafted anymore. He's, he's being drafted way too, he's worked his way up into like the single digit rounds. Like we're talking like six through eight round. I've seen him going now. And I'm just not going to draft him there. When he was a 14th, 15th round guy, hell, even like an 11th, 12th round guy, I'll take that shot. But people like, like it's a foregone conclusion that it's going to be just him in that backfield. They have Rex, they have Marlon Mack. Like they have other names there that I'm not convinced with the draft capital they used on Damien Pierce that he's just going to be the guy. That being said, if he's going later, I loved taking that shot because there were very few names going in that double digit round range that could be the lead back in their offense. But now I think his price reflects that. You're, you're not, you're absorbing all that risk instead of the ADP eating that risk for you. And yeah, there's still going to be a poo poo offense. Yeah. Joey got the Patriots and said yucky yucky poo poo. Yucky yucky poo poo. I know what I never knew this is how Nahi Mein looks. Like I feel like I've never seen a picture of Nahi Mein's. Let me zoom in on him. I can't. Yeah, for some reason not let me. Oh, here we go. I knew, I knew that face. The only one I didn't just didn't pop out. I didn't recognize. I feel like every platform I've ever played on has just had like a silhouette for him. I feel like I've been like, I've been a Nahi Mein's lover the past couple seasons. And that's the only reason I know that he's been a guy that I felt like has been a value in drafts the past couple years. Craig's got the Saints now. J-Wall's got the Raiders. And you got who? Chiefs. The Chiefs. Maybe, maybe CEH. I think that's going to be, oh God, every time I look up, I'm already out of time. I got the Rams and I'm up in a couple picks and I've got three players in my queue. So we should be good unless Craig, J-Wall and Geek all got the Rams and all took them. Craig with the Mark Ingram pick. Yeah. Sorry to anyone who gets the Saints going forward because the Saints have been like just completely picked dry. TV Geek with Matt Corral. It's getting, it's getting gross out here in these streets. But I got a little lucky here with the Rams. I can take Alan Robinson. That works out pretty well. I still need more running back. So no, I just looked at my team. I only have Austin Eckler. I should have taken Cam Akers there.  He's still there? Yeah, Cam Akers is still there. I should have taken him. That was so dumb. I just got excited that Alan Robinson was there. That's hilarious. I got Cowboys next. So we could maybe get some running back out of there unless he's been taken. Okay, that's the name. There's a running back I could take. J-Wall said just got the Rams but after Simon. Took Matthew Stafford, I'm guessing. I just saw Matthew Stafford disappear out of my queue. Finally got to the toilet but after Simon. Oh yeah, that's the worst way to find the toilet. What team did I say I had next? I've got Dallas next. J-Wall, who do you have coming up next? I've got the Steelers. The Steelers. Well, and I feel like that one was one that was also picked to dry a little bit at this point.   I don't love the Steelers but I am a Mike Tomlin fan. I definitely spread it out. No, no. Oh my God. He's not on my team. I don't care what you were just. I had spun for my next one and was adding him to my queue but it switched to my turn right as I went to go click the star. The JJ effect. And it took him. I wanted Tony Pollard is what I wanted. That's who I wanted to take right here. That's the JJ effect. When he came on and I went to go draft Rondo Moore and he picked Rondo Moore. Or I went to queue Rondo Moore and he picked him and I ended up picking Sammy Watkins. That was my ticket. That was my ticket to the next one. The heck did Craig just take? Warren? Wait, who did I take with my last pick trail? He took, you took Johan Dotson. Yeah, commanders. So now I have to make another commander's pick because I messed that one up. Oh, is that how it works? Hey, Chad. I rolled commanders for my next one after the caliber. Oh, again. And I was queuing players up. And you just took away from their pool. Chad, tell me what sound you want to hear Simon make, what animal sound. And I will choose the best one or I'll just come up with my own if I don't like your. You know what sucks? Both times I've broken the rules have been not even to make my team better. It's been making my team worse both times. Like each time I've broken the rules, I've had to get punished for it and it's made my team worse. My team would be so much better with Tony Pollard right now. It's so much better with Tony Pollard. My birthday would have been so much better with Tony Pollard. We're here. God, I don't even know. Oh, we got praying mantis from scampers. We got African swallow from Dame. African swallow is definitely the leading favorite right now. We also got the rhino from. The rhino. You're on the clock jail. Oh, oh no. Oh, so I got Cardinals here. You got 20 seconds. I go Kyler or I could go Marquis Brown. And I'm going to go Marquis Brown, I think. I just don't like the quarterbacks.  What I will say. That's fair. That's just preposterous jail at this point. I'm my new rule. Whenever it's within like three picks of me, I am not adding more players to my queue. We're done with queue. I just accidentally drafted that guy. Okay, geek. Don't take the one player that I'm going to pick here. Man, the commanders are really bad one to get at this point in the draft. Just awful. Wait, this is odd. So we are just cutting my camera. I was scrolling and I stopped when I got to Brian Robinson. Because I assumed if Brian Robinson was on the board, then Antonio Gibson was already gone. I know we're hearing all of the news out of Camp Antonio Gibson's working with special teams, but I'm going to take Antonio Gibson over Brian Robinson. I'm not drafting him. I drafted him earlier today, Simon. I'm not excited about drafting Antonio Gibson, but I'm going to take him here. It's fine. It could have been worse at the running back position for me. Like I needed a running back. It could have been a lot worse. Yeah. Antonio Gibson is fine. Yeah, especially with this format where desperation seems to be a motif here. Let's see. I got Denver next. I got the 49ers on my next one. Melvin Gordon still on the board. Jerry Judy still on the board. All right, Simon, before you mess up again and start racking up these, show us what an African swallow sounds like. Yeah, of course. Yeah. It's subtle. Like they're not loud birds. Like an African swallow, I know maybe you're expecting some crazy noise here, but they're not very loud birds. They're kind of subtle in the way they communicate with each other. Right? I think it's just a little bit like... Oh, wow. Yeah, so an African swallow is one of those. Like it's not a loud in your face. Yeah, that's a fully mature male African swallow. Not when it's trying to court a female African swallow. But it doesn't sound like when it's trying to court. I'll have to make another wrong pick for you to get that noise out of me. That's fair. Randy African swallow, the next one up. Except I'm not messing up again. I got the Broncos and I'm taking Melvin Gordon. I could have taken Judy there, but I feel like I need to shore up some running backs. Like whenever I have the opportunity to take a running back I'm comfortable with, I'm taking them. And I'm totally... It's kind of just how normal drafts work too. What'd you say? It's just kind of how normal drafts work too. It's like, I don't like that, running back here. And normal drafts, I'm a lot more comfortable just saying screw it. I'll wait till later. Like keep on going. Oh, no! I got the Steelers next. I think Pickens might have been the last one that was very exciting here. And Pickens is gone, right? Yeah, I took Pickens. Okay, let's scroll. Do we see Pitt anywhere on this list? Eventually there's got to be another Steelers player on this list, right? Eventually, yeah. Okay. Let's see. Craig is on the clock. I am on deck. Let's look at Craig's team. ETN, Ingram, Jalen Warren. That's who that picture was. Now, actually now that I see it, not in that little circle, I do recognize that player. Deboe, Hunter, Amari Cooper, Deontay Johnson, Jalen Waddle, Kenan Allen, Travis Kelsey, and Dallas Goddard on my own clock. And I'm finally going to take this. I got the 49ers. I'm going to take this opportunity to take my first quarterback, Trey Alance. Do we have any clarity on who the Steelers starting QB is going to be? I haven't checked in like the last week. It's like, it's Mitch Trubisky the last I've heard, but... Yeah, I believe that's still the case, is that it's Mitch Trubisky's job going, starting into the season, but I would have to verify that because I have not seen anything since then. How gross that Tom Brady's on the board. You know what I mean? Aaron Rodgers is on the board, and I'm going to have to take Milky Trubilky. Milky Trubilks. Like, who's the next position player I could possibly even take from this? Do you rather have a glass of 2% milk or a glass of Milky Trubilky? A glass of Milky Trubilky, probably. Yeah. I just don't give me a glass of milk. That's disgusting. I hate that. Just like vile.  And I, to this day, do not just drink milk anymore. You would just vomit. I think my body developed lactose intolerance out of protest. Oh no, no, no. I truly, Jail, I've been scrolling and scrolling and scrolling. Oh my God, thank God. And finally, I found a Steelers' positional player. Benny Snell Jr. Now, that's what I was going to say. Benny Snell Jr. is the next positional player from the Steelers. I'm not taking hands. Ray Ray's not even there anymore. No, he's gone. Ray Ray's not on the Steelers anymore. I would have loved to draft some Ray Ray, but instead, we're going to get some freaking milky Trubilky in here. I didn't spin until I was already five seconds into that pick. And I got the 40, I'm sorry, I got the Buccaneers. And luckily, Chris Godwin was at the very top of the ADP, so I was good. And now I got the Cowboys. Man, I'm just, I'm just pouting. I'm going to spend my next team while I'm waiting the zero seconds for my pick to start. You see Deontay Johnson got hurt. I did not see Deontay Johnson got hurt. Let's see, we got Mitch Trubisky. Welcome to the squad. What kind of injury? Is there any further news on- It's like a shoulder thing. I don't know if there's been news since, but I think you got ruled out of the game. Well, hopefully it's just precautionary and he's going to be good to go for the season. I hope at least. Okay, up next. We got the Giants for me up next. Oh, here's from NBC Sports. That says the Athletics Mark Capely. I don't know. Capely, I think reports. Kenny Pickett is making a late push for Steelers starting duties. Of course, right after I draft. Yeah. That sounds more like a camp thing anyway. Yeah. And I bet week one, we're still seeing Mitch Trubisky card out there. And if he does all right, he'll hold on to the job for at least a quarter of the season. Honestly, I'd be more worried if he wasn't making a push for the starting duties. If he was like, nah, not interested in that. Yeah. Ben, something's probably wrong. I was really hoping that Saquon Barkley was still sitting there just by some miracle, but he was not. He was not. Surprising. He was getting a little late in the draft. Oh, no. Oh, no. How many rounds? This could get really tricky. We have five more rounds here. Okay. Okay. This is going to, it's going to get tricky.  If you get the Steelers at this point, I am so sorry. If you can't pick it, or Benny Snell, and you better not hope there's a third person who gets the Steelers. Because at some point, it's just going to be possible to find that person in the amount of time. I am looking forward to seeing what the chat's animal sounds though. Mr. Scampers, this is an excellent exercise and well-learning depth charts, I guess. Stay watered. Open, I'm on the clock, and my team was the giant. So I'm going to take a wider see where that I'm fairly optimistic for Cadarius Tony. Sterling Shepard. No, Cadarius Tony. Don't try to put Sterling Shepard on my team unless I roll the giants three more times. Okay. In which case I will. I won't. Jill, who's your next team? I got the Cowboys next. The Jerry Joneses. Salty McMuffins. And we're back where we started. I've got the Seahawks next. Oh, okay. That's relatively near the top of ADP, but I've also got 10 picks until my pick and that person could easily be gone by that point. Name a better quarterback core than these three guys right here. Russell Wilson, James Winston, Mitch Trubisky. Oh, sorry. Were you talking about? No. Oh, you were talking about quarterback core. I'm not sure you could you could construct a better room in the NFL. I don't think so. I think Russell Wilson, James Winston, Mitch Trubisky. Wow. I feel like they work together. They work together in ways. Like they complement each other.  That's what you did here. Yeah. I think I'm going to draft on Jerry Judy with my next pick since I got the Seahawks jail. Oh, that's smart. To pair with Russell Wilson, who's on the Seahawks. Oh, yeah, Russell Wilson, of course. I'm going to go with Sicki here, even though Chase Edmonds's ADP is higher. I would. You need a tight end, I guess, because you just got fire moves. I have just fire moves. So I'd rather have tight end here than the running back. Chase Edmonds is I think it's going to have opportunity, but I'm worried. You're good at running back, like not. Yeah, I don't need to force it. You don't need Chase Edmonds. Like if I were you, that was my team. I would have drafted Chase Edmonds so fast. But yeah, that's because I'm I'm struggling a little bit at running back. I've got Echler, then Gibson and Gordon. Echler, Gibson, Gordon. That's actually. It's fine. Probably fine. It's fine. But then you look at the rest of my quarterback court. It'd be it'd be a lot better if there was like a Tom Brady in there at quarterback as well. And not a first round. Russell Wilson on the wrong team. First round. Russell Wilson on the wrong team. Oh, no. You know, I've got Bucks next. Craig has Jets next. I got 49ers. Oh, God. J E T S. What was it? What was it on stream the other day or J T S S Jets Jets Jets? Joe, you got 49ers, you said. Yeah. Did I you go? I think he did. Oh, no. Oh, we're in the clouds here. From the 49. Is he on the 49ers now? Is Elijah Mitchell Elijah? Elijah is surely gone. Oh, no. Oh, no. Who's it going to be jail? Are you going to? Are you going to break the rule? No. Did you break the rules? I can't see. Oh, my God. I auto drafted, but it happened to be a 49er. Are they in your queue? No. You just got lucky and happened to auto draft a 49er. I think I don't remember adding and maybe I did add them when I got 49ers before, but I don't remember that. Man. Okay. Okay. That's amazing. That is absolutely. That's that's baloney is what it is actually. You just got Jeff Wilson. Also, Mr. Scaver says should be a free agent tab on the wheel. Odell deserves to be rostered. Yeah, but can you imagine the third person to get it? Like the first person takes Odell. The second person takes Will Fuller. Then the third person takes Jordan Leggett. Jordan Leggett. Frank Gore. I don't know. You just take Gronk and hope he's still on the Buccaneers though. He's not a free agent. Yeah. It's okay. We're going to get a running back here. Not one I'm super excited about, but one that I can take Rashad Penney. Okay. That's how you're feeling about that situation. Confused and unexcited. Like it's there's just a lot of confusion around who's going to be the guy. And then even if there is one guy, I'm not thrilled for that. I think it'd be a good guy. Exactly. The quarterback situation is going to be best case scenario, Geno Smith. Like it just seems like an offense that isn't going to operate well. We know it's not a great offensive line there in Seattle. And these are these are uninspiring names in an uninspiring offense. Know what I mean? Like, I don't know. Maybe if it was a and then you have Kenneth Walker coming in who's likely going to command touches. You've got Chris, like it's just a lot of names that I don't see the clarity and I don't see the upside even if you figure it out. The upside is a run heavy offense and getting being a workhorse in that offense, which they've, you know, historically used, but. Okay. We got the then you gotta think it's Rashad Penney.  Yeah. And I know how fond you are putting your hopes and dreams behind Rashad Penney. I'm up in two picks and I have the Cowboys who was even left from the Cowboys. I think Gallop's still there. But he's out. He tours ACL. He's there, Simon. He's on the Cowboys. You can draft him. What's the what's the other guy from the Cowboys? Is O'Bear is gone? Look at Dames team. Dames got Dak, Matthew Stafford, Javonte Williams, David Montgomery, AJ Dillon, Chubb Pollard, Madison, it's a pretty solid team. I'm in. Oh, oh, no, Dane, these wide receivers. Oh, no. I'm in Ross, St. Brown, Brandon Cooks, Chase Clay, full of Lazard, more Tyler Boyd. Oh, that is your entire wide receiver core is like wide receiver threes or higher. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Am I on the clock? And what time do I have? You got 20s. Yeah, you got 20 seconds. Okay. The only player I have even found so far is Michael Gallup, and he's not even going to play. So I like I might draft him just not to break the rules, but I want to find someone else. Anybody, anybody else on the Dallas Cowboys? Nope. Well, Michael Gallup for the torn ACL. Welcome to the team. Limp on over here. Oh, my God. That that's a nightmare. I did that just tonight. Who else couldn't have been jail? Like name anybody else that I could have drafted? On the Cowboys? Yeah. Well, I got to pull up. You could have gone Rico Dowdle. I could have gone. I could have gone. Noah Brown. Noah Brown. Cooper Rush. James Washington, maybe. Cooper Rush. Jake Ferguson. Yeah, I could have grabbed Jake Ferguson. Yeah, that would or Aaron Shampton. Or Dennis Houston. Great name, by the way. Okay. Who's my next team? What do I got up next? We got the Dolphins next. That could be good. We got a question here from Ian. Ian's got a question for us. Should I accept C.D. Lamb and Kyle Pitts, and I give Devonta Smith and Mark Andrews? Is this redraft? Would be my next question. C.D. Lamb, Kyle Pitts, and I give Devonta. If this is not redraft, then yes. Absolutely. Take that trade. If this is redraft, yeah, I'm probably taking that trade. I'm probably. Now, this is a weird one. I usually don't like trades like this, where it's like same position for same position. This one's a little different, though, because you're upgrading at one position and downgrading at another, so it changes it. But I refer C.D. Lamb over Devonta Smith by a mile, and I prefer Mark Andrews over Kyle Pitts by a little. Decent amount, but not the same amount. Not anywhere near the top. Not a mile. Yeah. Kyle Pitts' ceiling is similar to Mark Andrew's ceiling in my eyes. Know what I mean for this coming season? Like they both, neither one of them, would I be shocked if they finished as the top scoring tight end on the season. Now, if Devonta. I would be pretty surprised if Kyle Pitts does. I would be surprised. I wouldn't shock. Yeah, like the talent's there. It's just that offense is not. Now, C.D. Lamb ends up as the top five wide receiver. I'm not shocked. Devonta Smith ends up as the top five wide receiver. I am absolutely. Yeah, I just shook my hands. I'm shocked. Dumbfounded. Like just, I'm on the C.D. Lamb and Kyle Pitts side. Yeah, because that would require, if you'd have to completely outshine A.J. Brown on that very low passing volume offense to be the wide receiver one. No, the quarterback I wanted got taken or the running back shoot. Oh, no. And I did not give myself much time here. So so far it's looking like I'm going to have to take some shoot or okay. We got we got options here. I'm not taking to I don't need another quarterback. I love to but I'm just not doing it. Actually, I probably should if we're being honest with the way my quarterback. Sorry, like, I know I have three already, but I probably do need a fourth. And probably the way this is going. James Washington, welcome to the team. I love in the Cowboys. This is great. Man. Wait, you took J.Wall with the hot take here. Pits is tight in one in Dynasty. Oh, so hot. Such a hot take. Such a hot take. Also, Mr. Scamber said, Ty Fryfogle was available for the Cowboys and I didn't even take them. I could have had a guy named Fryfogle on my team. Jail, what do I do here? Do I go to a or do I go where he most stirred to a God, but my running backs and quarterbacks are so bad. I have eight wide receivers, but really I only have seven because Michael Gallop's just a wasted roster spot. Cause I panicked. Man, I cannot. This is not going well for me, Jail. I'm realizing this, this level of pressure does not lead to me drafting well. I just keep messing up. I keep, I keep messing up the rules. And then I was so afraid of messing up the rules that I drafted a player with a torn ACL just to avoid messing up the rules. It's better than making an animal sound. I got the freaking saints. The freaking saints. The saints haven't been a good pick at any point in the draft. Like there's no point in a draft where the saints are. Unless you got Alvin Camero. Okay. There's one single point in the draft where the saints are good. Hey, I don't know. James Winston with my eighth pick really felt good, Jail. That did. That was, it was different, but I liked the way it looked on you. Man, it makes it even worse when I look at, I got Tua with the 18th pick. Know what I mean? Like that just makes it so much more insulting. Who do I have next? And we got the Panthers next. That doesn't seem good. Let's look at Geek's team. Geek's got Desmond Ritter, Justin Herbert, Holmes Corral. And I think we determined Geek was, was following the rules too, right? I believe Geek is following the rules. Yeah. John of the Taylor. Oh, he's running backs. Damn. J.K. Dobbins in the 14th round. Stupid. And oh, this is where, this is where it evens out a bit. This is the wider sea record though. This is bad. There were shot Bateman pick. Holy cow. What a, that is a massive save. That and Jerry Judy, 16th and 17th pick, saves your wider sea record. Yeah. That's amazing. Because before that, before that it was getting a little bit ugly, wasn't it? It was real ugly. D.K. Metcalf, D.K. Metcalf. I can't draft him in any league. I just, I, I know there's like a mental blocker allowing me to draft D.K. Metcalf. I feel like because last season was so disappointing, like from expectations and then everything got worse situation-wise. Yeah. As much things could, did. Know what I mean? Like we went into last season, there was maybe some excitement. Oh, I am on the clock. And what team did I have again? I had the Panthers. I'm not taking another quarterback. Oh, I feel like I haven't had many Panthers. Do I take Chuba Hubbard or Robbie Anderson? Let's take some Robbie. Yeah. Let's take some Robbie right here. He's targeted a lot heavier than I thought he was last year. Like he's one of those players when you go back and look at the stats. Like he was, he was pretty heavily targeted last year. Just, they were not good targets at all. No, not very bad. Poopoo targets. What's your, what's your next team, JL? What you got? My next team is the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle Seahawks. Good. I feel like I had some Seahawks guys queued earlier. This is a fine time because we're at the end. This is a fine time to have Seahawks. Yeah. Round 19 is what we're in, right? Yeah. We are in round 19. Craig is picking Isaiah likely by Jay Wall. I like that pick. When I've got one more pick left in my last team, JL, is the Bengals. The Bengals. I'm going the Bengals. Tyler Lockett. I probably should go QB here because I only have one QB, but I guess we're just rolling with Traylan. Let's see. What other Cincinnati players do we have? I'm trying to figure out even who I can draft. Maybe Hayden Hurst is still sitting there. Is Samaje still there? Is Tyler Boyd still there? No, I think Tyler Boyd is not taken. Yeah, Tyler Boyd is gone. Chris Evans is probably there. Oh, that's very nice. Let's see. Is Hayden Hurst still there? Don Hurst is still there. Joe Mixon could still be there. I think it might have to be you sampling. I think it might have to be Samaje Pirai. Is what we're looking at. Love that sentence. Yeah. That's the option is what it seems like. It's that or Drew Sample. Well, that's got figured out right there. This has been kind of fun. What we should do if we do this again, Jail, is we should mix in a free square. Know what I mean? There's 33 options, and the 33rd option is just a free square. Wow. Are you doing your best Mime interpretation or imitation? Because I can't hear anything you're saying. No, as we did. Andrew on the clock, and you got four seconds. I know. I know. I can't find a bear. No. I can't find a bear.  And that's not a bear, Jail. You drafted not a bear, which means in the last round, you made it 19 rounds, Jail, before you had to do an animal noise. And you know what? In honor of you not finding a bear, I would like you to do a koala bear noise. Ooh. Okay. All right. Have a few koala friends. Koala and friends is what we call them. It's a little eucalyptus plant I got. Just. That's it. It's koala. It's perfection. Just absolute perfection, Jail. A koala is not. Are they ever not hanging on the tree? I don't know. And I actually think they're not bears, if like, like, just like scientifically speaking, right? I'm pretty sure. You don't know much about koalas. I think they're marsupials, and marsupials are by definition not bears, I think. Can you be a bear and a marsupial? It's a marsupial monkey. Monk. Yes, Jail.  That is true. That's a true fact. Take that with you. Good. I've been wondering that for a long time, and thank you for clarifying it. Yeah, you're welcome. Dave said maybe four free choices in the wheel, and then said, I'd love, love, love for you guys to hear my moose call. Dave, there is nothing more in the world I want more than to hear your moose call now. Just, just absolutely. Also, Mrs. Gibbons is not even close. They're actually terrifying sounding for koalas. Really? You've been hanging out with some scary koalas. We've been hanging out with nice koalas. Yeah, my koala friends at Chile, yeah. Maybe it's like a regional thing, like koalas from the southeast of Australia have like a terrifying noise. They're really mad. No, because like, there's all these beautiful beaches right there, but none of the humans let them play on it.  That's true. That makes sense. That does make sense to me. It's science right there. And it's science, guys. Everybody who drafted along with us today, that was a... We love you. That was a crazy draft. That was a ton of fun. Let's just take a peek at some of these teams before we jump off of here real quick, J.L. Just, just a final glance. So J.L. rolling with one quarterback, just Trey Lance.  You take, which one do you want to look at? Let's look at Craig's. We looked at mine plenty. So we have Kirk Cousins Joe Burrow, Der Carr. Position by position. Quarterbacks, good to go. And 12, 13th and 18th round, pretty good. Know what I mean? Waited and got those guys. I mean, is there like, are there any two quarterbacks who are not more like than Der Carr and Kirk Cousins? Feel like they're the same exact quarterback. Just one with eye makeup. One, one is angstier than the other. For sure.  And the other one's Shania Twain. And the other one is Shania Twain. Yeah. The other one's Kirk Cousins. The running backs here are week eight and Craig.  ETN, great pick. I love the Jalen Warren pick. Just a real sleeper pick right there in the 11th round. Real sleeper. And even your best pick here was a massive reach, Craig.  I know you were spinning a wheel. Yeah, it's almost like you're playing by made up rules. It's almost like someone forced you to draft from specific teams at certain points in this draft that didn't align with ADP at all. The wider receivers aren't bad. This I feel like is the quintessential. Like if I was going in the season with this wider receiver core, I'd feel, I feel so confident and it would be completely unearned. Like I'd be so worried, but also at the same time, confident. Yeah. And I just think I like looking at the order for some of these guys. Know what I mean? Like, like the Amari Cooper and then Deontay Johnson and Waddle and Keenan Allen after that. Yeah. And Josh Palmer all the way down here. Like, what the hell? He should be way up here. So Joey, you're saying the Shania Twain alarm just starts off with, let's go girl. 100%. I kind of want a Shania Twain alarm clock now. Maybe I need to learn something from Kirk Cousins. Yeah. We can all learn a little something from Kirk Cousins, but only about Shania Twain alarm clocks. Yes. We've got Maria and you said, FYF mixes chaos, science and fun. Indeed, we do. And if you enjoy that mixture, guys, we are here every Sunday at 7pm Eastern time doing this. We're playing around. We're doing some mock drafts hanging out with you guys, incorporating some some wheels. And then once the season starts, we're going to mix that up a little bit, but we'll still be here hanging out recaps. Yee-haw.  We are live every day, Monday through Friday at 3pm Eastern time over on our channel at Front Yard Fantasy. So, so come hang out with us there. Jay, I saw you cracking up a little bit of this one. You want to you want to hit with that alarm? It's the best thing about being a warm snooze. It's just going back to bed.  It's just going back to bed is all it is. I would feel like so disrespectful to Shania Twain if I was snoozing her in the mornings. Guys, before we go, a couple other reminders.  You can find them across all other social platforms. Zango, MySpace, AIM, but then the ones that you probably use, Twitch, Instagram, YouTube. We're already on YouTube. We mentioned that one. TikTok, they're at FanDuel across all of those platforms. Twitch. And on Twitch. Yeah. Jay, was there one that you wanted to add? Twitch. Twitch. Guys, on that note, that's going to be it for us this evening. We'll see everyone tomorrow at 3pm over on our channel. But we'll be back right here Friday at 6pm Eastern time. Until then though, adios everyone. Wow. Oh, there's no outro. Arrivederci. So we just...


Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Don Bubar from Avalon Advanced Materials. How are you today, Don? Great to be back, Tracy. Doing fine. And, Don, let's start with the most interesting thing, of course, again. Your stock moved up 40% in one day, and I'm going to draw our attention to this because you have one of the most unusual stocks for geopolitical headlines hit and boom. Out of nowhere, everybody comes pouring in. Would you like to tell us a little bit more about that? Well, basically, it's demonstrated from the fact that we've been in this business for over 20 years now, and we're very well known amongst investors in the U.S., in particular, for our lead role in the rare earth bubble 10 years ago. And so we're still known as a rare earth equity. And whenever there's kind of new developments and news headlines related to the risk on security of supply, then you'll see speculative trading activity in Avalon, and that's what we saw again last week. I'm pretty sure. Well, I mean, arguably, even though people perceive you as rare earth, you're still in the rare earth and critical materials game. Are you not, Don? Absolutely. And our strategy has been to have a diversified asset base that gives us exposure to a broad range of these new emerging critical materials. So we're basically positioned to react to when there's a new demand in the marketplace. And, of course, Don, we want to take you back to these geopolitical issues. There's so many different policies that are being announced in Washington, D.C. You want to comment on which particular one or which headline do you think was the cause for the accelerant that day? Well, I think it was more of the news on the consulate being closed in Houston by the U.S. government, and then China reacting to that and retaliating by closing the U.S. consulate in Chengdu. That was kind of an indication of an escalation in the hostilities there, which I think was one of the sparks for that speculation on maybe rare earth supplies or a risk again. Well, of course, because of your experience in this industry, I mean, if you did introduce me to rare earth in 2008, do you have any comments about some of the most recent announcements? I mean, we've got everything from Joe Biden's $2 trillion green infrastructure and jobs plan to the more recent one that was sent to me out of D.C. on the 77.3 million Defense Production Act Title III COVID-19 actions and how it would affect rare earths. Would you like to comment on either of those for us? Well, yeah, the second one I thought was a very significant one in that there's already been programs announced that are designed to provide funding for creating new supplies reporting, new mineral development projects like materials. And it was refreshing to see a program that was more oriented to the downstream components of the rare earth supply chains and making funding available to create those. Because as most of your listeners would know with rare earths, it's mostly about creating the demand pull for the rare earths and not so much the supply the new producers need to have markets to be able to serve in domestic markets. Well, and of course, you know, the European Commission $750 billion green infrastructure plan, I'd love your comments on that. But the thing that I would really love is for a better understanding of what Canada, Canadian critical materials policy is presently and any comments that you have on that. Yeah, I spent quite a bit of work being done there when Prime Minister agreed with President Trump to collaborate on creation of these critical mineral supply chains in North America. They asked the bureaucracy to start to come up with a plan for how to do that. And because it's relatively new for most people in government, it's taken a while for government to kind of understand the scope of the issue here and what makes sense in terms of policy initiatives to help enable these supply chains to get started here. So I've been pulled into that conversation for quite a while now. And one of the main players now engaged in that conversation is Creen, the Canadian Rare Earth Elements Network that you recall we created about eight years ago during the first rare earth boom. And it's really the only organization of any type that has a focus in Canada on these critical mineral supply chains, albeit specifically rare earths. But it has been quite actively in that dialogue with the Canadian government. And so with regards to that, you know, you you do all this work and, of course, a major a substantial or significant action that occurs, usually US Chinese tensions, which directly hits the Avalon stock, I think investors out there should take a second to actually hear what the competitive advantages are.  So tell those investors out there why they should buy and hold. Well, I think we still provide exposure to rare earths, although we have a partner now working with us at Natchalacho. We've maintained our main resource there as future upside on that project. And in the meantime, we continue to look at other possibilities to create new rare earth supplies by looking at how we can use new technology to recover them from non-traditional sources such as historic mine weights. And I still think there's a lot of opportunities there to do something creative that can bring a supply market a little more quickly at a relatively low cost by taking advantage of some of these innovative new technologies like Ion Exchange and some of the variants on that out there. So, Don, would you like to what should shareholders, you know, with COVID-19, what should we anticipate? I'm certain that's had some challenges for you at Avalon Advanced Materials. Would you like to tell us a little bit more about that and how you're proceeding into the fall? Yeah, so we have had to lock down the office here and just come in occasionally when you're up all by yourself like I am today. But everyone's been pretty busy working from home. And our focus now is on taking advantage of the opportunity in lithium markets to bring our separation rapids project along. We're permitted now to recover a bulk sample, a large bulk sample to finalize our process flow sheets, do a pilot plant run and produce some product samples for the customers that have expressed interest in the product in the glass industry, as well as start to revisit serving the battery materials market going forward here, too. So what would be the next steps for separation rapids? Well, what are your plans? So the key is to recover that bulk sample in the near term. So we're now getting ready to go ahead with that program in September, get that bulk sample extracted, crushed and then start to process it to produce those samples. And that's a key step for us to define the market opportunities at our business model for the final feasibility study on how we will ultimately develop this. But we're also getting pretty keen on looking at the battery materials market. Some of the current forecasts on growth there are astronomical. So there definitely needs to be new suppliers. And there is, of course, no supply in Canada yet and a real opportunity, I think, to establish a battery materials facility in Northern Ontario somewhere to serve that growing new market. And that's something we're focused on right now. Well, Don, as always, it's a real pleasure. Thank you so much for your timely update. Thank you, Tracy.


Hello everyone, I'm Silveger Pazzoni, I'm a postdoc at the University of Cagliari. I would like to thank the organizer for inviting me here for this presentation. Today I'm going to talk about my research activity focusing on antimicrobial resistance, in particular on the optimization of efflux avoidance and in emission for antibiotic development. The World Health Organization worked years ago about the risk of antimicrobial resistance and in the meantime the problems has become more and more urgent as the spread of drug resistance pathogens threats our ability to treat common infection. Antibiotics are becoming increasingly ineffective. Here I reported a map showing the distribution of a carbapenema resistance bacterium all that spreads all around the world. So new antimicrobials are urgently needed. Therefore several calls for research projects have been opened both in the US and in Europe and the work that I'm going to show you here belongs to one of these bigger projects. So resistance occurs naturally over time through genetic changes. Bacterial exploit different mechanisms to defend themselves towards the action of antibiotics. For instance they can inactivate the drug like in the case of beta-lactamesis which are able to hydrolyze the beta-lactam ring of some antibiotic classes or they can export outside the cell the drug using the efflux pumps. These in particular are a major player in resistance in gram-negative bacteria which combine the efflux to the pulpermeability of their outer membrane that makes it difficult for antibiotics to enter the cell. So how can we overcome resistance? Well we have two main strategies. The first one is to design new drugs able to avoid the resistance mechanisms. So for instance we want antibiotics that do not bind the efflux pumps and therefore they are not transported outside the cell. The second strategy is to co-administrate inhibitors with the drugs to enhance their activity. So following the previous example we want compounds that bind the efflux pump blocking their activity. Today I'm going to show you how we address this issue by using computational techniques. We started with a ligand-based approach where we collected a database of antimicrobials that are used for both correlation studies or machine learning analysis. Then we increased the complexity of the system by using the structure-based approach applied for the discovery of new antibiotics and inhibitors. So starting with the first. When we think about databases of small molecules we can think of Pubcam, Campbell, so a database that contains the 2D or 3D structure of these small molecules with some of the basic chemical-physical properties. So what we wanted to do was to collect a curated database of chemical-physical properties and force fields parameters dedicated to antimicrobials. Therefore we created IBDB which contains more than 300 antimicrobials belonging to 25 different classes including both traditional antibiotics and also inhibitors. For each compound we downloaded the structure from Pubcam. We checked the protonation and the tautomeric states. We performed a DFT-based geometry optimization followed by a single point. Then the QM results were used for the force field generation and finally we performed one microsecond and dissimulation on all of these compounds. So from this pipeline we obtained the QM optimized structure for each compound and also some structural cluster extracted from the MD simulation. From each of these steps we also extracted molecular descriptors both standard and non-standard so QM and MD-derived. IBDB is freely available on feature at this link where we shared all the input and output files that the user can download and reuse. All of these descriptors can be applied for correlation and machine learning studies in order to explore different aspects like the permeation or to perform some prediction activity. In this second case study I'm going to focus on the efflux and in particular we focused on this gram-negative bacterium called pseudomonas aeruginosa. The transporter MxAB OPRM is the major one of pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is a tripartite antiporter system, a proton-antiporter system which extends from the inner to the outer membrane. It exploits the energy associated to the transport of proton to expel out of the cell various ligand classes. The engine of this complex system is represented by the homotrimeric inner membrane transporter MxB which belongs to the resistance nodulation division superfamily. MxB mediates the transport of substrate fans through a conformational cycling of its monomer which is called functional rotation mechanism. These monomers can adopt three different conformations, loose, tight and open, LTO. So in the functional rotation mechanism the substrate bind the L monomer. This binding is followed by a conversion into the T-conformation and finally the substrate are expelled after the conversion of the T into the O monomer. Two main binding pockets were identified into MxB, an access pocket in the L monomer and a distal pocket in the T monomer. The former is one of the entry channels for high molecular weight compounds while the second one is thought to be visited by all the compounds expelled by the transporter. While for MxB just few crystal structures are available for its homologous in Escherichia coli namely ACRP we have several experimental structures also in complex with various ligand classes. So from this structure it is believed that the substrate can oscillate between different iso-energetic binding modes inside this wide and promiscuous binding pocket which is the oscillation hypothesis. So in this case study we focus on the design of new antibiotics able to avoid the binding of MxB. It is well known that the 4-kinolone antibiotic class is a substrate of MxB. However not all of these compounds have the same efficacy toward Pseudomonas aeroginosa. Suggesting differences in affinity and binding modes. By knowing how these compounds bind MxB we can rationally design new antibiotics able to avoid the binding with the transporter. Recently a co-crystal structure of ACRP in complex with one of these 4-kinolones which is a levofloxacin has been published. And we use this structure as a reference. In this work we performed a systematic docking campaigns on 36 4-kinolones. Here for time reason I'm going to focus just on the results of levofloxacin. So this is the workload that we used. So we exploited ensemble docking. So we collected multiple conformations of MxB and also of the ligands. These conformations were retrieved from ABDB that I show you at the beginning. Then in order to increase the statistics we use 3 different docking protocols generating 1800 poses per ligand. Then we clustered the docking poses and the representative of each docking poses underwent to an energy optimization, air scoring and a surface analysis. But before we validate our workflow on the ACRP levofloxacin complex for which we have the experimental structure. So here on the right I reported the clusters derived from the docking poses, the corresponding population and also the RMSD with respect to the crystal structure. So as you can see the most populated cluster was able to reproduce the experimental structure with an RMSD of 1.3 Armstrong. Below I reported the residue of the distal pocket and I covered in red those residues that were in contact with levofloxacin in the crystal structure. In ensemble docking we have statistics of contact derived from all the docking poses. Therefore the hit map that you can see here reports the percentage of contacts of the docking poses. And you can see that docking was able to find the same contacts of the experimental structures but also it found other contacts suggesting that different binding modes inside the pocket are possible. Then we of course applied our workflow to MaxB, so docking, clustering and optimization. Here again I reported the cluster and their population. So the most populated cluster is the one in green, was placed in the same region of levofloxacin in the crystal structure. But as before also here we found alternative binding modes like the one in magenta in the deeper portion of the pocket and the one in yellow in the middle of the pocket. So these results suggest that levofloxacin preferentially bind in the same region of levofloxacin found in the x-ray structure. However different binding modes are possible throughout the pocket which is in agreement with the oscillation hypothesis. Given the lack of experimental structure between MaxB in complex with kinolons we made available at this web page all the 36 complexes that we obtained with docking that user can visualize and download. Ensembled docking takes into account indirectly the flexibility of both the protein and the ligands. However it lacks a description of the evolution of the system over time which is something that we can analyze with MD simulation. So in this last case study we use MD simulation to study the behavior of inhibitors. This is a work in progress but I would like to share with you our preliminary results. So as I mentioned here we are focused on inhibition, in particular on competitive inhibition. So compounds that bind the levofloxacin without being transported preventing in turn the binding of antibiotics. We have one crystal structure of MaxB in complex with an inhibitor called ADPP which was found in the distal pocket partially interacting with an hydrophobic region rich in phenylalanine residues called hydrophobic trap. Here we worked on these Rempex compounds which are peptidomimetics and experimental data shows that although they have a similar structure they can be divided into different classes. Some of these compounds are substrate of MaxB while other are competitive inhibitors. Previous studies try to find some predictive rules able to distinguish between these different classes and this work is a follow-up of the previous findings where we try to answer this question can substrate be converted into inhibitors? To the same we use ensemble docking, multi-copy MD simulations and free energy calculations. So here are the docking poses of the substrate and the inhibitors and as you can see the aromatic ring of the compounds points towards the hydrophobic trap but in the inhibitors differently from the substrate the interaction is more tightly and it establishes some pi-pi stacking interaction with phenylalanine which is something that we saw also in ADPP in the other inhibitor that I showed you before. Then these poses underwent two multi-copy MD simulations and we found that the substrate explored the binding pocket more than the inhibitor which is something that we can see from the RMSD values while here below are reported the percentage contribution of the residues to the binding free energy. We can see that the inhibitors interact with a few residues to a greater extent compared to the substrate which conversely interact with more residues but to a less extent. So these results together are again in agreement with the oscillation hypothesis so where the substrate seems to explore the pocket and adopt different binding modes with similar binding energy while we speculate that the inhibitor binds more tightly to the hydrophobic trap. So these are preliminary results. We are now performing some mutational analysis on these key residues to confirm these computational results and we are also performing other MD simulations in order to increase the statistics and also we are thinking about using different methods for the free energy calculation. So in conclusion I wanted to show you different techniques, computational techniques to address antimicrobial resistance which is a complex problem and it is also multifactorial. So I believe that it's important to use different techniques and to tackle this issue from different sides. I just want to thank my research group, our collaborators and of course all of you for your kind attention and I would be happy to answer your question.
