00:03 - Joe, before we get started,

00:04 is there anything you'd like to preface?

00:07 - No, except that look,

00:08 Dynasty is a huge growing market

00:11 in the fantasy football community

00:12 over the last five years.

00:13 Most of them are super flex.

00:15 This is kind of a look at one of those super flex versions

00:18 of this mock draft,

00:19 because the quarterbacks are very important.

00:21 They're gonna go towards the top.

00:23 But Dynasty is fun if you have a group of people

00:25 that you love playing fantasy with.

00:26 You can play your redraft leagues,

00:27 but if you're really a lunatic

00:28 and you wanna go play these Dynasty leagues,

00:30 it's a huge challenge.

00:31 It's a challenge for me

00:32 in some of the leagues that I played in Dynasty.

00:34 But the top of this draft, obviously,

00:37 okay, Williams goes one.

00:38 I can make an argument for Marvin Harrison, one.

00:41 I can make an argument for Jaden Daniels, one.

00:42 This was a mock that was done on fantasypros.com last week,

00:45 kind of a consensus mock draft.

00:47 You'll see neighbors, Odunze, usual suspects,

00:49 then Drake May at 106, McCarthy at 107,

00:52 because of the quarterbacks.

00:53 Xavier Worthy's really flown up draft boards at 108.

00:56 Now that's interesting

00:57 because of the Rushie Rice uncertainty

00:58 between some of these off the field issues he's having.

01:01 Now, I love Xavier Worthy,

01:03 but I would not put him above Jonathan Brooks

01:05 because Jonathan Brooks is the best running back

01:07 in this draft.

01:07 Another Texas running back, right?

01:09 We're talking about that.

01:10 DeJawn Robinsons.

01:11 We're talking about like the Texas factory of running backs

01:15 that they're so good with.

01:16 And they're in a spot in Carolina

01:20 where we've talked about this a little bit before

01:21 with Derrick Brown in the weeks past,

01:23 where Carolina's gonna run the football.

01:25 Miles Sanders, Chuba Hubbard.

01:27 I mean, these are pieces that are not going to be long

01:29 for this world.

01:31 There's going to be an instance too,

01:33 where we get into the season at some point,

01:35 Jonathan Brooks is healthy.

01:36 Now, Jonathan Brooks might start the year on the pop list.

01:38 It's possible coming off that ACL tear in November,

01:41 but more likely than not, I think he is not going to.

01:45 And I think he's just gonna work his way in slowly.

01:48 But over time, and I mean the first six weeks of the season,

01:52 it's going to be evident who the best running back

01:54 in this backfield is in this room.

01:57 And it's gonna be Jonathan Brooks.

01:58 So I am not worried about the Rashad Pennies.

02:01 I'm not worried about anybody,

02:02 like the depth of the running back position.

02:04 I'm not worried about it.

02:06 At the end of the day,

02:07 Carolina got the right coach, I think.

02:10 Carolina knows what they have to do,

02:11 run the football to support Bryce Young.

02:13 And the guy to do that is Jonathan Brooks.

02:15 Brock Bowers coming up at 110,

02:17 then Brian Thomas at 111.

02:18 Ladd-McConkie next.

02:19 And Matt, I've been talking about Ladd-McConkie a lot

02:22 because with Justin Herbert,

02:24 this is a guy that's already proven himself at this level.

02:26 You take Keenan Allen away, who's the new safety blanket?

02:29 And to me, it's obvious, it's Ladd-McConkie.

02:32 He is that PPR guy.

02:33 It's not Quentin Johnson all of a sudden.

02:35 Johnson might get a better usage.

02:37 I think Jim Arbaugh knows what to do with him,

02:40 considering the game he had against him

02:42 a couple of years ago in the college playoff.

02:43 I think he understands what Quentin Johnson excels at

02:45 and what he doesn't excel at.

02:47 And Brandon Stanley, frankly,

02:48 could not figure that out for whatever reason.

02:50 God forbid we watch the college tape and figure that out.

02:53 But Ladd-McConkie is going to be that guy,

02:56 no matter how much they run the football

02:58 and how much Harbaugh wants to do that

02:59 with Greg Roman as the new OC.

03:00 We know they're a run-first kind of offense.

03:03 There's gonna be passes.

03:04 Ladd-McConkie is gonna be that guy.

03:05 And to me, Josh Palmer's just kind of

03:07 an average NFL wide receiver.

03:09 It's Ladd-McConkie who could step in

03:11 and be that guy that gets 100 targets

03:13 in his rookie season, if not more.

03:15 Matt, that's the first round kind of in a nutshell.

03:17 The two guys right now that I think

03:19 are going at the tail end, Brooks and McConkie,

03:21 that I think are a little bit more valuable

03:22 than people might realize,

03:24 quicker than people might realize.
