Transcript

[Jake Hofer]

This is an iHeart podcast.

[Joey P. Zappia]

I'm Jake Hofer and this is Back 40, a limited series show on Wire to hunt, part of Meat Eaters Podcast Network. Each episode I'll be asking eight whitetail hunting pros a focused, thought provoking question about hunting and land management. How do I hunt the best part of the farm with less than ideal access?

[Derek Brown]

Should you? That's what the real question is. Stand without good access is not a good stand.

[Joey P. Zappia]

Listen to Back 40 on iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast.

[Derek Brown]

Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros. This is the fantasy football podcast. It is me, Joey P, Joe P. Zappia and today we've got more mock draft action for you. We've got Derek Brown, dbro, the King of Bros, Andrew Erickson, the Undertaker and Scott Bogman, Mr. College Football, Mr. Dynasty himself. Going through two rounds of the NFL. We're gonna try to mock out as many as we can today, bang these picks out, show you where the teams and of course we want you to subscribe to our YouTube channel. We're trying to get to 300,000 subscribers and we could do it if you help us. Also, make sure you ring that bell till it goes ding for notifications here on fantasy bros. YouTube. And of course, drop your comments below for your team, your favorite team. I want to know what picks are you making here. Drop those picks below in the comments as we go through today. And of course we've got free agency done. We've got still some uncertainty with a couple quarterback positions, so we're going to do the best we can. And Scott Bogman, you're officially on the clock with the Tennessee titans for the 1 pick.

[Andrew Erickson]

Yeah, pretty easy pick. I don't know if it's what I would do, but they need a quarterback desperately. Will Levis was miserable last year, so Cam Ward is the best quarterback in my opinion in this class. I know our boy Fitzy likes Shador Sanders. I know a couple other people like Shadow Sanders, but I debro of course love should wear Sanders. But I'm a Cam Ward guy through and through and I think he's the best quarterback here. I think that's what the Titans are looking for and you don't succeed in the NFL without a good quarterback. So I think they have to go ahead and take the risk and pull the trigger on Cam Ward here.

[Derek Brown]

Do you think Tennessee has the infrastructure to develop in box? That's the question.

[Andrew Erickson]

I think with the improving line, I think they do. They need playmakers after they take him Cam Ward. They definitely need somebody to catch the ball on the other side. And I think that's what the rest of this draft and next year's draft is going to be focused on.

[Derek Brown]

General manager Derrick Brown does love Shador Sanders. He has made that very public in the media. He is on the clock now for the Cleveland Browns at 2. Debro, what do you do?

[Scott Bogman]

This is easy, boys. Let's take the the possibly most accurate quarterback in this class. Really fast decision maker and address the quarterback position for the Cleveland Brown Sugar. Sanders, come on down, baby. Quarterback out of Colorado. Franchise changing guy. And he's going to make some waves in Cleveland.

[Derek Brown]

Andrew Erickson. The Giants are pissed off now. No quarterbacks for them. They are at the three spot. Cam Ward gone. Shador Sanders gone. Erickson, where do the Giants pivot?

[Debro]

I know D RO wants me to take Jackson dart, but I will not be going Jackson darling. We taking Shitter Sanders. Number one receiver from Colorado, Travis Hunter. And yes, he's going to play wide receiver for the New York Giants because Joe Shane, Brian Dable, they need to win games. And as as much so, it'd be great to see Abdul Garter get sacks and generate pass rush. That's not going to get them wins. So I'm going Travis Hunter, put a wide receiver with Malik Neighbors and hopefully they can catch passes. Move the offense with Jameis Winston once he signs with New York Giants.

[Derek Brown]

Oh J. New York media market Jameis Winston. Please, God, please give me that. Great. I'd love that so much. All right, now my New England Patriots upper four, Scott Bogman, you're back on the clock. And I think the best player available in this whole draft, offense or defense is still on the board. I know they need an offensive lineman. The worst way you want to go tackle, but how do you pass up on Carter here?

[Andrew Erickson]

You don't. You have to take Carter here. I mean, I think at pick number four, if the two quarterbacks go with the first two picks. If you're the Patriots, you're sitting there staring at Travis Hunter or you're getting Abdul Carter. I think those are the two best players in this draft. So, yeah, you sign Harold Landry in the offseason, that's a great move. You know, Milton Williams, great move. But having Abdul Carter, you now go to a very dangerous defensive line in New England and I think that would be an excellent pick for them.

[Derek Brown]

And they did a really good job, you know, remaking that defense and free agency too. Some really good picks there. We gotta get him some offensive line Help. There's more draft to come. Next up here, number five, the Jacksonville Jaguars dbro. You're on the clock.

[Scott Bogman]

Jacksonville has to address their run defense and they're going to do that with this pick. Mason Graham, defensive tackle out of Michigan. Come on down, baby. Jacksonville allowed the eighth most rushing yards per game last year. Graham was the best D tackle in this class as far as run defense grade. It's just a perfect fit, guys.

[Derek Brown]

Next up here at 6, back to Andrew Erickson for the Las Vegas Raiders. So they've got Geno Smith now a quarterback. Where do they go next?

[Debro]

I'm gonna go with the offensive line. Will Campbell, tackle guard from lsu. We'll see where they deploy him, but they just gotta get more protection up front. Protect Gino. When Gino operates from clean pocket, he can be a top 10 quarterback in the NFL. Like I don't think that's a shocker to anybody. So I'm gonna go with Campbell here. Pete Carroll, upgrade the trenches. Very Pete Carroll esque move.

[Derek Brown]

Tremendous value at 6. Two people thought he would go in the top four picks. The jets are up next at 7. So they got their quarterback. It's Justin Fields. So what do you do here? You give him another weapon? Do you protect him? Do you go on the defensive side? Bogs?

[Andrew Erickson]

Yeah, I'm going to give him Tyler Warren. I think Tyler Warren is one of the better players in this draft. I understand a lot of people don't like the fact that he wasn't good for three seasons and then he was good in his last season. But Andy Colton, Nikki, the offensive coordinator that came over from Kansas, wasn't there inventing these great plays. And Drew Aller was not nearly the quarterback he was last season. So I think Tyler Warren took a big step up. And I don't really care what you did the previous three years when you show us what you can do your senior year. So give me Tyler Warren here and give the jets another weapon.

[Derek Brown]

All right, Tyler Warren to the jets there. That becomes a really interesting offense. Potentially. There certainly can run the football. You got Garrett Wilson. Now Tyler Warren. That would be fun. The Carolina Panthers, they could do some fun here. Debro at the eighth pick. Where do you want to go for them?

[Scott Bogman]

I'm going to give them some some fun here, boys. We're going to give Bryce Young another weapon. Ted McMillan, come on down, man. Wide receiver out of Arizona. And this is Carolina has a bunch of guys that could beat zone, but they don't have a lot of man beaters. Not a lot of guys on that roster that could beat man coverage. Ted can do that over the last two years, 8th and 10th in yards per route run against man coverage. Let's give Bryce Young a true wide receiver 1.

[Derek Brown]

A true wide receiver. 1. Is he the one on your board at wide receiver?

[Scott Bogman]

Easy in his own tier. Nobody else is close.

[Andrew Erickson]

What if Travis Hunter is just playing wide receiver?

[Scott Bogman]

He would be the wide receiver too. I'm still like halfway through his film, but I think there's a divide there. People aren't going to like that take, but I think Ted's better than Travis Hunter as a wide receiver.

[Derek Brown]

Bogs, do you agree or disagree with that? Who's one number one wide receiver on your board?

[Andrew Erickson]

Travis Hunter, if he's a wide receiver. But Ted is right now. So if Travis Hunter is drafted as a white out, I just think he's the best player the this Panthers. I don't want to fight with DBro, but this Panthers pick.

[Derek Brown]

Why it's good.

[Andrew Erickson]

I do like the.

[Derek Brown]

The.

[Andrew Erickson]

The T pick. I think he's a good fit. This team just gave up the most rushing yards in a single season in NFL history. And Derek Brown, your cousin, got hurt at the end of the year there.

[Debro]

Exactly.

[Andrew Erickson]

They gotta play defense, man.

[Derek Brown]

They. They need a lesser Derrick Brown. Ericson, would you like to get in a fight with Derrick Brown or you want to wait till later?

[Debro]

Which Derek Brown?

[Derek Brown]

I think we know the answer. I think we know which Derrick Brown that is, unless you're crazy. All right, let's go to number nine pick here. The New Orleans Saints are on the clock. That's debro squad, But Andrew Erickson, you have the pick.

[Debro]

Ashton Genti, running back from Boise State. Not an ideal landing spot, but sometimes these rookie running backs don't end up with a backfield all to themselves. Sometimes things like this can happen. So with. With Genty, look, Kellen Moore is coming from over there from the Philadelphia Eagles and they just build their entire offense around Saquon Barkley. Like they know how to incorporate a running back to be a focal point of the offense. So I don't think that the Saints would look at Genty and look at their current running back depth chart and think, oh boy, if Camaro, like, he's fine, like we're just gonna roll with him. Camara's on, you know, the back end of his career. He's a receiving back. And now you have a running back that you can feed carries to Ash and Genti, number nine to the Saints.

[Derek Brown]

There you go.

[Andrew Erickson]

Does come if they do that if.

[Derek Brown]

They pick Genti, I. I think they would try.

[Debro]

I mean, who's gonna trade for Camara? Like, why would you trade for Camara in a loaded running back class? I would.

[Andrew Erickson]

No, I understand that.

[Debro]

Trade for Rashad White. Just trader Sean White instead. He's cheaper.

[Andrew Erickson]

Yeah, you're probably right. I just think, you know, for Camara, this. This team is in such cap hell, you know, so getting a pick is big for them and getting some, you know, a little bit of payroll off. But you're right. Who is trading for him? That's a big question.

[Derek Brown]

You know, you never know. You might get deeper into camp, somebody gets hurt, you know, next thing you know, Sean Payton.

[Debro]

Bring him back.

[Andrew Erickson]

It's not a bad idea.

[Derek Brown]

That's actually ideal because they don't have that answer.

[Scott Bogman]

It's not ideal for my 20th pick.

[Derek Brown]

There you go. Wow. No spoilers. All right, let's go to Chicago at 10 here. Scott Bog, when you're back.

[Andrew Erickson]

Yeah, I'm going to give Michael Williams the addresser out of Georgia. Did a good job of fixing this line here. Montez Sweat. They traded for Garvon Dexter, took a big step up, and then they signed Grady Jared after he was cut by the Falcons and Dale Denebau from the Colts. But I think you still need some depth here. Good run stopper and he can rush the passer. So I like Mikel Williams going to the Bears.

[Derek Brown]

De Bro. The 49ers at 11, they have to.

[Scott Bogman]

Address the offensive line here. I'm going to give him a tackle. Armand Membo out of Missouri, you can move Colton McKivitz from right tackle back to Garb where he played his rookie season in college. I mean, San Francisco needs to go in the trenches. I think it's a really good pick for them.

[Derek Brown]

Dallas at 12. Andrew Erickson.

[Debro]

I'm going to go with a wide receiver. Matthew golden from Texas. So Jerry Jones, I mean, once he saw that 429, he was convinced, I have to have this guy. On my team. After missing out on the Texas wide receivers last year's draft, he's like, no, not this time. Matthew golden come home, baby, to Dallas. And I think to point out, just look at the Dallas wide receiver depth chart. Who is there behind Ceedee Lamb, who is Dak Prescott got throwing the ball to beside CD Lamb and he got hurt. Last year it was Jaylen Tolbert trying to step up. Brandon Cooks. And then there was just a. A hodgepodge of guys. So they need a receiver. I think golden fits especially with Lamb does from the slot. Golden take the top off the defense. I think you can do more than just be a speed receiver. I'm being totally honest. So to Dallas.

[Derek Brown]

Yeah. Oh, definitely.

[Scott Bogman]

More slander. Yeah.

[Derek Brown]

I was gonna say aren't the answer necessarily.

[Debro]

Look, I forgot about Bingo.

[Derek Brown]

Everybody should be running to. To pick up Dak Prescott. That happens His. His values at. But that would certainly help a lot to give him a second wide receiver there. Miami at 13. Scott Bogman.

[Andrew Erickson]

Yeah. Offensive line problems outside of Taron Armstead last season. So let's give them Calvin Banks, another Texas player this high in the draft. Hook them. No big deal. But I think. I think you can move him around. He can play tackle, play guard. And they need four new offensive linemen. So I think Miami could really use an upgrade here.

[Derek Brown]

That's a good value for them too. Banks is a hell of a player. Next up, Indianapolis at 14. Derek Brown.

[Scott Bogman]

I swear I actually made this pick. Guys, I know we're. We're getting a lot of Texas guys into the action here, but I did actually.

[Derek Brown]

It's a great team.

[Scott Bogman]

I wasn't bullied into this pick by Scott Bogman. Okay, I just want to throw that out there, but Jade Brown, come on down, man. Cornerback out of Texas Indy. I know that they spent a high pick on Juju Brentz. They haven't gotten much back from that pick. Jaylon Jones. These are not the answers. Opposite of Travarius Ward for Indy. Let's give them a real cornerback to sit here and get it done.

[Derek Brown]

At 15, Andrew Erickson. The Atlanta Falcons are on the clock.

[Debro]

Thought about Isaiah Bond here so we could do a 4P for Texas, but no, it's not. It's not. Not happening. Isaiah Bond. Mr. Burn all my props with his 40 time. Can't. Can't talk about it.

[Derek Brown]

But you're not bitter.

[Debro]

I'm going to go. I'm going to go linebacker here with a pass rusher. Jalen Walker from Georgia. The Atlanta Falcons, it's been since, I think since my birth since they've been trying to figure out how to fix their past rush woes. So they started. Jalen Walker, Georgia product. Come on home, baby.

[Scott Bogman]

So it wasn't like six, seven, not that long ago.

[Debro]

It's been a long time.

[Derek Brown]

It's been a long time. All right, the Arizona Cardinals at 16. Back to you, Scott Bogman.

[Andrew Erickson]

Yeah. Let's go defense again for another team that had defensive woes last season. Did a good job trying to fill in some of these spots. They obviously got Josh Sweat Dalvin, Tomlinson and nose tackle will take up a lot of room, but I think you turn this pass rush into a danger. If you have James Pierce, the edge rusher from Tennessee and Josh Sweat on this line and obviously familiarity going to Jonathan Gannon from Philly as well, I think that's a good fit for the.

[Derek Brown]

Cardinals before we get to the Bengals pick coming up next, which better be defense. Remember, our Dynasty Rookie Draft Simulator is available right [e-mail] and lets you complete a mock draft in just minutes with no waiting in between picks to get ready for all your dynasty leagues.

Go to fantasybros.com simulator to use the Dynasty Rookie Draft Simulator today to dominate your rookie drafts and your Dynasty drafts. Next up here, the aforementioned Cincinnati Bengals at 17 dbro. Please give me a defensive player.

[Scott Bogman]

Well, actually I was going to go with the wide receiver. I say a no, but seriously, we know the Bengals need to address the pass rush whether or not Trey Hendrickson is still a Cincinnati Bengal. They need help in that department. Hopefully they keep Trey Hendrickson. I'm gonna give him a bash brother with Shemar Stewart, the mutant out of Texas A M. This guy is freaky athletic, 9.9 Raz, and I understand he only had two sacks. I get it, people. But he was 14th in hurries, so you look at the deeper metrics, this guy can get after the quarterback and he's gonna be a good pick for Cincinnati.

[Derek Brown]

All right. 18. The Seattle Seahawks Andrew Erickson Some different ways they can go here. My guess would be offensive line. Where would you go?

[Debro]

I agree. They have to find ways to protect Sam Darnold or it's not going to work out. We're going to see Sam Darn from the jets very, very quickly in Seattle if they don't protect him. So Gray Zabel, interior offensive lineman from North Dakota State. Been a riser since the Senior bowl, so they get him more protection up front.

[Derek Brown]

You don't want to see Sam Darnold seeing ghosts. That's not what you want right now. 19. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Scott Bogman, you're up.

[Andrew Erickson]

Jihad Campbell, the linebacker from Alabama. I think it's just a perfect fit for this team because they need help at the inside linebacker spot. Levante David is 100 years old and Cervasi, Dennis is very inexperienced. Anthony Walker is the backup there. They'll be fighting for playing time. But if I think if you take Campbell, he can instantly fill in and help this pass rush, that needs help as well. On the edges. Interior is great, but I think they need some edge help and he can play on the edge as well.

[Derek Brown]

You know, Boggs, I remember a couple of weeks ago when we did one of these, I said, man, this is crazy. Every team has their first pick. I said, I don't ever remember a draft like this. And it's the first time in the modern day NFL history that this has happened. So that's crazy.

[Andrew Erickson]

And we're not at the draft yet.

[Derek Brown]

So it's not going to stay this way. So far.

[Andrew Erickson]

Yeah.

[Derek Brown]

And now we haven't made any trades yet. So Alvin Camara is not a Denver Bronco yet. But the Denver Broncos do need a running back here at 20. Do they pull the trigger there or they go on maybe the defensive side of the football?

[Scott Bogman]

Yes, sir. We're going running back here. Amari Hampton from running back from North Carolina. We know Sean Payton wants a workhorse back and they need one desperately. Hampton can handle the volume and he's underrated a little bit as a pass catcher, too. So I think he can also catch some passes for Bo Nicks out of the backfield.

[Derek Brown]

All right. At 21, Andrew Erickson. Scott Bogman's Pittsburgh Steelers need a quarterback. Do they pull the trigger here?

[Debro]

No, they do not. Because I need a wide receiver more because George Pickens is going to get traded. So amica wide receiver from Ohio State. You just look at the depth chart. They have DK Metcalf. That's who they invested in long term. But Pickens is on the last year of his contract. He may not be on the team. So I don't think they pass on a player like Ibuka. Very productive at Ohio State. And I know that he's maybe not diva enough for you, Boggs and your Steelers, but maybe they need that just produces. So egbuca for me to the Steelers.

[Derek Brown]

All right, question. Fill in the blank here. I want all three of you to do this. Andrew Erickson, Week 1 Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback is blank.

[Scott Bogman]

Aaron Rodgers, Debro Jackson Dart.

[Andrew Erickson]

Scott Bogman, Mason Rudolph.

[Derek Brown]

Wow.

[Scott Bogman]

If you were to look up baby.

[Derek Brown]

Defeat in the dictionary, that was the picture of Bog's face just now. Wow. All right, that. That's great.

[Debro]

Can I, can I change my answer?

[Derek Brown]

Sure.

[Debro]

Jalen Milro, week one.

[Derek Brown]

I think you might make it worse. Oh, you might make it worse.

[Andrew Erickson]

I want Jalen Milroe. I want Jalen Milroe to start for this team. Week one of 2027.

[Scott Bogman]

So I don't see it happening.

[Andrew Erickson]

Developed for a couple of years. He cannot start this year.

[Scott Bogman]

They passed on Malik Willis. They're going to pass on Jalen, too.

[Derek Brown]

All right, let's go to the Chargers at 22. Scott Bogman, you're up.

[Scott Bogman]

Yeah, I'm going to go.

[Andrew Erickson]

Will Johnson, obviously, familiarity with Harbaugh, Michigan guy. They need a corner as well. You know, Tar, he still had a great season, but I think he kind of faded down the stretch there. Dante Jackson as a starter is rough. I think Kamahart did fine in the slot along with Derwin James and Aloy Gilman. I just think the secondary needs a little bit of a boost, and Will Johnson is the best corner available.

[Derek Brown]

23. The Green Bay packers could use a wide receiver. They're flying off the board. Dero, you want to give them one or go defense?

[Scott Bogman]

No, we're going defense. Packers just. They got a need for speed, baby, and I'm going to give it to them. Maxwell Harrison, cornerback out of Kentucky. The last time the Green Bay packers took a Cornerback on the first round, it was Eric Stokes with his 4.31 speed.

[Noah de Barrasso]

Come on, Leflore.

[Scott Bogman]

And everybody and company saw Harrison run the Fast 40 at the combine. It's over, man. They got a fever, and I'm going to give them Hairstone.

[Derek Brown]

24, Minnesota, Andrew Erickson.

[Debro]

I'm going to go defense here. I think this is a sneaky spot for us to potentially see the first safety drafted. So I'm going. Malachi Stark, safety from Georgia. Look at the Vikings. They lost Cameron by him to the Colts and free agency. Harrison Smith not getting any younger. So adding a highly intelligent defender to Brian Flores, I think it's a match made in heaven.

[Derek Brown]

Luther Burden could be still on the board here. The Houston Texans at 25 bugs you want to.

[Andrew Erickson]

Erickson will lie to you and tell you I was bullied into this pick, but he will.

[Scott Bogman]

He spreads lies.

[Andrew Erickson]

I had taken Josh Simmons and then an hour later, Cam Robinson signed. So they need a wide receiver here in Houston. Obviously, you know, Nico Collins is outstanding, but I don't know Christian Kirk. What does he have left in the tank? I'm not completely sold. Tank Dell is going to miss the entire season. And you know, they gave a shot to Mechi last season. It didn't work. I just think Luther Burton falling down the board is a great value. And let's just give Stroud all the weapons he can handle.

[Derek Brown]

Is that better though, than taking offensive tackle? Let's say I think it is because.

[Andrew Erickson]

They signed Cam Robinson. I, you know, I don't think Cam Robinson is your permanent solution, but I think he's good enough to make it. So let let's focus on this wide receiver spot because it is a little desperate to.

[Derek Brown]

They need a lot on that offensive line. All right, let's go to the Rams at 26. Debro, you're up.

[Scott Bogman]

Sean McVeigh loves to be multiple. I think we're going to get more two wide receiver sets this year for the Rams. And with that happening, you can play Colston Loveland, tight end of Michigan as a big slot in 12 personnel as well with Tyra Higby. Higby's getting up in age. Let's give them. Because we know that this team was in on the Brock Bauer sweepstakes last year. We're going to give him a stud tight end from this class. Colston Loveland, tight end out of Michigan. Come on down, baby.

[Derek Brown]

Let's go 27. The Ravens team BPA. Andrew Erickson. Who's the BPA?

[Debro]

Yep. They go safety Nick Amana, worry safety from South Carolina in an effort to try to stop Jamar Chase and Tegan for the next four years, combine Amana, worry with Kyle Hamilton. You have this dynamic safety duo that can fly all over the field. So yeah, again, Ravens just take BPA. Whoever is on the highest on Daniel Jeremiah's top 50. That's usually they take here and that's the guy.

[Derek Brown]

Detroit is up next at 28. Scott Bachmann.

[Andrew Erickson]

Yeah, not a lot of needs for Detroit, but we did see what happened along this defensive line in terms of the pass rush after Aiden Hutchinson got hurt. So Mike Green, we saw him have an enormous Senior bowl. Just shove people around the edge rusher out of Marshall and I think him being across from Aiden Hutchinson would be a great fit. So let's give them some depth along that line.

[Derek Brown]

At 29, the Washington Commanders and Derrick.

[Scott Bogman]

Brown, we are going to give them help along the defensive line. Dan Quinn is cutting backflips, baby. He's going shirtless. He's flexing. Running the card in for Kenneth Grant, defensive tackle out of Michigan. I know they added Javon Kinlaw this offseason, but Duron Payne over the last two years has not played good football as well as they can get out of his contract after this upcoming season. Kenneth Grant is a fantastic ad.

[Derek Brown]

Okay, so there you go. Grant to Washington at 30. The Buffalo Bills, Andrew Erickson.

[Debro]

Walter Nolan, defensive tackle from Ole Miss. The Buffalo Bills did add some pieces along their defensive line of free agency, and then two of them got suspended for six games because of PEDs. So let's build some depth up here through the NFL draft. I know they got Joey Bosa as well, but Walter Nolan is the pick for me.

[Derek Brown]

All right. The Kansas City Chiefs at 31. Scott Bagman.

[Andrew Erickson]

Yeah. Who is playing left tackle for this team right now? We have no idea. Jalen Moore as of now. So that Josh Simmons pick, I think fits perfectly here. So we'll go with the big tackle out of Ohio State for the Chiefs.

[Derek Brown]

They'd be happy with that. I think Chiefs would be very pleased if they came away with a solid one. Philly is up next. The ring defending champions to close out round one at 32. Debro. Close us out strong.

[Scott Bogman]

How we doing, Howie? Things, baby. Let's give him cornerback Trey Amos out of Ole Miss. They need a replacement for Darius Slay, opposite of quinon. Amos has 4.4 speed, and whether he was at Louisiana Lafayette, Alabama or Ole Miss, this guy produces, man. Philly would love to have him.

[Derek Brown]

Interesting situation there, too. The they lost a lot this past offseason, but clearly they have so many draft picks the next couple years. This is like dynasty potential here. If they get some of these picks right in the next two years after this. Before we go ahead and turn the page to round two, when it comes to college basketball in March mania, one thing is for sure. Nothing is for sure. That's right. Upsets, buzzer beaters. Cinderella is advancing. Andrew Erickson's already torn up his entire bracket. Top seeds are going home early.

[Derek Brown]

Round two. The Cleveland Browns are on the clock. That means we are time to make some picks here. Let's get over to this first pick, Scott Bodman, you are going to lead us off again.

[Andrew Erickson]

Yeah, let's give them nick scouts and you know, obviously the quarterback is the biggest need for this team, but. And they did get Miles Garrett back, but that does not mean the defensive line is fixed by any stretch of the imagination. Across from Miles Garrett. Right now it's Joe Tryon, Choinka, Isaiah McGuire, Okoronkwo, who they signed from Houston a couple of years ago.

[Derek Brown]

Now you're just showing off.

[Andrew Erickson]

Yeah, well, look, you can say all.

[Derek Brown]

These names so easily.

[Andrew Erickson]

It also, it also is easy for me. Let's give this team that I hate, another Aggie that I hate. So two Aggies at edge. Rusher.

[Derek Brown]

I. I love that Debro. The Giants are up next at 34. You know, they had success with a Hall of Fame someday quarterback from Ole Miss. Could they go down that well again?

[Scott Bogman]

The mental gymnastics to get Eli Manning in here is honestly fantastic.

[Derek Brown]

Joey, it's coming.

[Scott Bogman]

That was. That was not a first ballot. That was. That's fantastic.

[Derek Brown]

And that's.

[Scott Bogman]

Yes, we are going to address the quarterback position here. Giving Travis Hunter another weapon to this offense in this mock Jackson dart falls out of round one. The Giants pounce on him in Round two and address the quarterback situation.

[Derek Brown]

Okay. Jackson Dart. Very exciting. I like this. I'll tell you what, if they come away with Travis Hunter and Jackson Dart, I think you could sell that to the fan base. We got a quarterback. We got, you know, one of the best pure football players in the draft. I don't think he's gonna save their jobs, but certainly at least maybe a renewed optimism there. The Tennessee Titans, Andrew Erickson, they did a lot here. They're at 35. What do they do?

[Debro]

Yeah, I'm gonna go edge rusher. This is a really good edge class, especially in. In round two. So Donovan Ezruka, edge from Boston College. Something that he said at the combine. I want to destruct a quarterback is what he said during his combine interviews. So perfect fit for a team that's trying to revamp its defensive line. Got rid of a lot of the parts from last season. Wasn't tough enough. They get tougher with this guy.

[Derek Brown]

36 Overall, the Jacksonville Jaguars. Scott Bogman.

[Andrew Erickson]

Yeah, we're going to go offensive line here. We addressed defensive line in the first round with Mason Graham. I thought that was an excellent pick. I think Josh Connerly. This is what has been missing from this team is, you know, help on the interior of the defensive line and help along the offensive line. That and obviously good coaching. So I think with better coaching and a better line play, this team can improve a lot.

[Derek Brown]

All right. 37 Las Vegas Raiders. Derrick Brown.

[Scott Bogman]

The last time that old Pete drafted a wide receiver out of Ole Miss, he went shirtless and decided to flex off with that wide receiver. I can't wait to see it happen again, baby. So I'm going to give them Trey Harris, wide receiver out of Ole Miss. One of my favorite guys in this class. He could beat man coverage. He can give you big plays down the field. Fantastic pairing. And also quietly, I know they have Brock Bowers to sit here and stand on business on the offensive side. Jacoby Myers is not getting any younger and he could be gone after this season. So they need another pass catcher for Geno Smith.

[Derek Brown]

D. Rose. Golden. Full Ole miss in round two here. I love this start off things. All right, 38 patriots are up. Andrew Erickson. Jaden Higgins is still on the board. I like him a lot, but it feels like offensive line is probably the smarter place to go here since we got Carter. Can we have our cake and eat it, too?

[Debro]

Yeah, we have to go offensive tackle here. I cannot do another season of a Darian Low taking any type of significant snaps at left or Right tackle. I refuse. So Aerotone Ursary, left tackle from Minnesota. He's a three year starter at a left tackle. Getric May, some protection please.

[Derek Brown]

There you go, 39. The Chicago Bears are up next. Scott Bogman.

[Andrew Erickson]

Yeah, we're going to stay on the defensive line. We gave him the edge rusher in the first round. Now we're going to give him an interior guy in Derek Harmon. Look, I think they've done a good job signing these free agents, but Grady Jared is close to my age, so not great. Let's go ahead and get some youth in that line. And I think Dexter and Harmon in the middle of that defense make it pretty scary for years to come.

[Derek Brown]

So 27. That the age just.

[Scott Bogman]

Yeah. So sure.

[Derek Brown]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. All right. New Orleans at 40. Debro your boys. What do you want to do here?

[Scott Bogman]

They need a weapon on the offensive side. In addition to Ashton Genty, Derek Carter needs more pass catchers. Rashid Shahid is only on a one year deal, so he could be gone after this year. Let's give him Jaden Higgins. My favorite wide receivers from this class out of Iowa State. This dude tested like jumped out of the freaking gym. 9.9. Raz, the. The analytics in the film back it up. He will be a stud in the NFL.

[Derek Brown]

I like Higgins too. Yeah, all of a sudden you give him Genti, you give him Higgins. Chris Olave comes back. Maybe Derek Carr is not a miserable person they year. I mean maybe. Maybe life gets good again. 41, the Chicago Bears. Andrew Erickson, you're up.

[Debro]

So you know that Star wars meme where the guy's like more, more, more, more offensive lineman. I don't, I don't care if they drafted Alti. They signed all these guys in free agency. Don't care. I want more. I want more offensive lineman to protect Caleb Williams. So Marcus Ambo off to tackle from Purdue, taking no chances. Continue to bolster this offensive line. You'll get success. You have Odunze, you have DJ Moore. That's how we got to do it.

[Derek Brown]

Next up here at 42, the New York Jets. Scott Bogman, you're on the clock.

[Scott Bogman]

Yeah.

[Andrew Erickson]

For everyone that was upset that it did not take an offensive lineman in the first round for the Jets. I'm doing it here. Let's give them Cameron Williams, the young starter for the Longhorns last year at right tackle. You can put him in. You're doing it wrong, Erickson. Come on.

[Derek Brown]

This. Whatever.

[Debro]

I do the thing that DBRO doesn't slap.

[Andrew Erickson]

But, but yeah, I Think Cameron Williams.

[Derek Brown]

Got exposed on the pod D, bro.

[Scott Bogman]

I mean, I'll stick with it, baby. I just, you know, just so people.

[Derek Brown]

Know that I read their message. I can Hear all the YouTube comments now, too. Like, people like all Scott Bogman does is give out Texas players. Well, they were pretty good team last year, so it's like saying all they do is give out Alabama players.

[Andrew Erickson]

So, yeah, they're pretty good. But Cam Williams also just, you know, helps in the run game immediately for the New York jets at right tackle. So I think he's like a plug and play guy, and he's got a lot of meat on the bone because he's very young.

[Derek Brown]

49Ers at 43. Derrick Brown.

[Scott Bogman]

They need. I know they signed Trey Brown, but they need help with the secondary. Let's give him a starter, hopefully for week one. I know Siobhan Revel, cornerback out of Eastern Carolina, is coming off the acl, but he is said to be ready for week one. Dude's dog. So this is a Robert Sala pick all the way through and through.

[Derek Brown]

Yeah, he's got his work cut out for him, too. They lost a lot of pieces on the defense this off season. That's gonna be a weird secondary.

[Scott Bogman]

Would be pretty solid with this, though.

[Derek Brown]

All right, splash last time for the Dallas Cowboys. Erickson, where they took Matthew Golden. Now what they do at 44.

[Debro]

Yeah, we had our fun. We got a receiver, but now we go back to establish the run. We got to run the football. Brian Schadenheimer. So Tyler Booker, offensive guard, Alabama plug and play. Same analysis for every Alabama offensive guard that's come out seemingly for the last 10 years. Just throw them in there.

[Derek Brown]

What a running back room. Javante Williams and Miles Sanders.

[Scott Bogman]

Wow.

[Derek Brown]

Indianapolis up at 45. Scott Bogman.

[Andrew Erickson]

Yeah, let's go. No Texas players to give them here. So let's give them Tylee Williams, the run stopper they gave up. They were bottom 10 in rushing yards allowed. We saw that, you know, when Grover Stort was suspended. This is a completely different run D. So let's give them a little bit of interior help after giving them Baron already. They have a guy from Texas, so they're good.

[Derek Brown]

All right, well, you know, Ohio State. I guess you'll settle for an Ohio State guy. All right, next up is the Atlanta Falcons at 46 and Derrick Brown.

[Scott Bogman]

Apparently, I just live on two campuses all day, every day. It's Ole Miss and Iowa State. But I'm good with it because they have a lot of talented players. Boys, Atlanta, two problems Pass rush and secondary. Well, we already addressed the pass rush with the first pick. Let's go with the secondary. Darien Porter, quarterback out of Iowa State, Big physical guide. He could run with anybody. So A.J. terrell. Hey, guess what? You got a running mate now.

[Derek Brown]

There you go. Next up, Andrew Erickson at 47 for the Arizona Cardinals.

[Debro]

I'm gonna go off it's alignment. Donovan Jackson, offensive lineman from the Ohio State. He stepped up last year at left tackle after Josh Timmons obviously went out with the injury. So he has some versatility when it comes to tackle and guard. And I kind of think offensive line is a need for the Cardinals. You look at Jonah Williams, he got hurt last year and he's on the last year of his contract at right tackle. And your offensive line, the interior did not play that well. So I think bolstering that for Kyler Murray, protection. So that's the move here. Donathan Jackson.

[Derek Brown]

All right, Miami. Last time in round one, they went on the offensive side of the football box. It's time for defensive pick at 48.

[Andrew Erickson]

Quick Damian, defensive back from Miami. That's not Jalen Ramsey. Anybody? Come on, let's hear Storm Duck.

[Derek Brown]

That's it.

[Andrew Erickson]

We're going to. We're going to replace Storm Duck right here with this pick, Azariah Thomas from Florida State. He was locking up everybody during the Senior bowl week, so I think that's a very good pick to help on the perimeter of the defense for the Dolphins.

[Derek Brown]

49. The Cincinnati Bengals DBRO going to the trenches, baby.

[Scott Bogman]

The Bengals projected starting guards are Cordell Volson and Cody Ford. It's not going to get it done, guys. Let's give them guard out of Arizona. Jonah 70. Yeah, he's definitely feels a need for this team. We got to keep Joe Burrow if anything's going to work right for this offense. You got to keep Burrow upright next year.

[Derek Brown]

50. The Seattle Seahawks. Andrew Erickson.

[Debro]

So John Schneider said during the offseason, the Seahawks have to get faster on defense. They need speed. And I immediately went to ucla. Linebacker Carson Schweisingr is a speedy linebacker, flies all over the field. So I think he'll be a good staple in the Mike McDonald defense.

[Derek Brown]

See, I was going to have another pick coming up at 52, but before that, at 51, the Denver Broncos, Scott Bogman.

[Andrew Erickson]

Yeah, let's go with a Pat Fitzmaurice favorite here, Ella K. Amanda, the big wide receiver from Stanford, one of the only guys to absolutely dominate Travis Hunter in his collegiate career. Just got a lot of Size, great catch radius and exactly what Bo Nix needs. So I think this offense looks dangerous. If you had Omarion Hampton, right? You have Sutton, you have Amainer, you added Evan Ingram. This, this defense or this offense, excuse me, is looking very, very dangerous here.

[Derek Brown]

Yeah, a playoff team last year. Already back to Seattle at 52, their second pick here in the second round. Debro. What do they do this time? Erickson just gave them a linebacker from ucla. Where do they go next?

[Scott Bogman]

Well, the defensive head coach wants another piece for his defense. Let's give him cornerback to Benjamin Morrison out of Notre Dame. They need another starting corner opposite Reek Wilman at Devon Witherspoon. Morrison was limited to six games last year with the hip injury. He should come in healthy. And this guy's a stud, man. Like 58.4 passer rating allowed in his coverage in college. Yeah, that'll play up all day, baby.

[Derek Brown]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 53, Andrew.

[Debro]

Erickson, Landon Jackson, Ed Rusher from Arkansas. They just got to help defense as much as possible. Offense will be fine with Baker Mayfield, but get this, get more defensive weapons for Tubbles.

[Derek Brown]

All right, Scott Bogman. If we don't give Green Bay a wide receiver, a 54, I don't know what Pafitz Morris is going to do with us because we didn't do it in round one. He is over.

[Debro]

Why do they need another wide receiver?

[Derek Brown]

They already have good guys, I guess, but Pat is not happy. Like, he doesn't. I guess they've got a lot of them, but he doesn't like any of them. But he's not here right now. So, Scott Bogman, what do you want to do?

[Andrew Erickson]

Yeah, when the Fitz is away, Bogman will play. I'm going to give them some defense here. Princely Monmielle and the edge rusher out of Ole Miss. I just think that he adds to this rotation. Obviously, it's been a high pick on Lucas Van Ness a couple of years ago. Rashawn Gary is very good, but on the right side, it's Kingsley and igbarre. Brenton Cox Jr. They just don't have a lot of depth here. So I think Imani Ellen immediately provides depth at that position.

[Derek Brown]

All right, so the Chargers are up next here. Last time we went cornerback, this time, the Chargers, who made the playoffs last year. Dbro, where do you go?

[Scott Bogman]

Justin Herbert needs another weapon and I'm going to give it to him. Elijah Royo, tight end out of Miami. This guy's a pass game weapon. I mean, look, since he crushed the Senior bowl, his stock has risen precipitously. This guy is a. Is a true weapon and a difference maker. He is going to be a mismatch weapon for Greg Roman. So let's give him a stud tight end.

[Derek Brown]

Erickson, you're up on the clock at 56 for the Buffalo Bills.

[Debro]

I was thinking about corner here, but because the Bills definitely need another cornerback to get away from the Dane Jackson experiment. But I didn't. I felt it was a reach everywhere for the other cornerbacks on the board. So I went a different direction with safety Xavier Watts, safety from Notre Dame. He's a ball hawk, so he can create plays, get interceptions, help bolster that secondary for the Bills.

[Derek Brown]

Okay, next up, the Carolina Panthers. If it's seven, back to you, Scott Bogman.

[Andrew Erickson]

Yeah, let's give them some defense here, right? They've done a good job in the offseason. They signed Wharton, they signed Bobby Brown, but the guys behind them are old Ashon Robinson, shy Tuttle. These guys were part of the problem last year. So let's go with Darius Alexander, the big interior defensive lineman out of Toledo to give them a little help on.

[Derek Brown]

That run D. The Houston Texans are back up at 58. Derrick Brown.

[Scott Bogman]

Oh, Alfred Collins, defensive tackle out of Texas. Doesn't have to go far to be a Houston Texan. We need. They need beef up front, man. I mean, definitely have to add it. I know they added shelled Rankins this off season, but they need an upgrade over defensive tackle Tim Settle.

[Derek Brown]

Six picks remain here in round two. At 59, the Baltimore Ravens and Andrew Erickson.

[Debro]

I think I need an edge rusher, so we're gonna go with Jack Sawyer, edge from Ohio State at 60.

[Derek Brown]

The Detroit Lions are back on the clock. Scott Bogman. Look, you know the Lions, you could really kind of have your cake and eat it too. Where do you want to go here for this pick in round two?

[Andrew Erickson]

Let's give them a slot guy. I mean, we have, you know, a. Monroe is great, Jameson Williams is fantastic. But I think Jalen Noel can fill whatever role they want.

[Derek Brown]

Interesting.

[Andrew Erickson]

This is just. This is just, you know, piling on here. This roster is one of my favorite in the. In the league. They got D.J. reed at corner. So in the off season, that's a position that maybe you could address here. But I think this is just a luxury pick. I think Jalen Knowles one of the better picks and I feel like I sniped dbro. So I think this is a great selection for Iowa State.

[Derek Brown]

Guy, what do you think about John Morton, the new OC there.

[Andrew Erickson]

I mean, I think you're going to see a lot of the same, you know, I think you're going to see a lot of the same because it has worked. If it ain't, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. So I think you're going to see them stick with what they have been using already.

[Derek Brown]

All right, Washington at 61. Back to Derrick Brown.

[Scott Bogman]

Unfortunately, Brian Johnson, Brian Robinson, excuse me, Brian Robinson Jr. Could not stay healthy last year. So we're going to give Washington a guy that can carry the mail, he can carry the load. I'm going to give him Caleb Johnson running back out of Iowa. And everybody's so disappointed that he ran in the four or fives. I don't care. And neither do the commanders.

[Derek Brown]

So did Derek Henry. I keep telling everybody, it's like, who cares like that. It's, it's like as long as the four time isn't awful. Like, look. What does that do though to Brian Robinson junior's value though? I think that's a dramatic kick. I like it a lot.

[Scott Bogman]

It is. And, and I think really, I mean you're looking at the Cliff Kingsbury offense. They need somebody that can handle the volume, man. And Brian Robinson Jr. Just proved last year that he couldn't hold up to it. And after this season he's a free agent. So they have to get ahead of it.

[Derek Brown]

In position is the draft to get ahead at running back to 62, the Buffalo Bills.

[Debro]

Andrew Erickson bolstering the defensive line. Joshua Farmer, decent tackle from FSU. Get another interior disruptor.

[Derek Brown]

All right, 63 Kansas City Chiefs. Scott Bogman, your final pick.

[Andrew Erickson]

Yeah, I love this pick. This is Dayon Walker, the enormous mountain of a man. Interior defensive lineman from Kentucky who we found out played all of last year with a broken foot. So he is just a monster. He's 6, 7, 3, 31 and you put up a space clogger next to Chris Jones on that line and give him more one on ones. I think it's, I think it's a great fit for Kansas City.

[Derek Brown]

All right. And Last selection at 64, debro. The Philadelphia Eagles take.

[Scott Bogman]

They're going to take JT to a Malaloa out of Iowa State or excuse me, Ohio State. Look, I know that they added Joshua Uchi and Azizo Zolari this offseason, but both are on one year deals, both are retread guys. They need to add a long term edge on this defensive line like opposite that fantastic interior. And we know they don't have any needs on the offensive side of the ball.

[Derek Brown]

All right, so when you're stepping back here, now that the rounds one and two are done, who's winning the draft so far in your opinion here, dbro, will you come back? Scott Bogman, Think about it. Andrew Erickson, Think about it. In the meantime, quick reminder too, if you're trying to prepare for all of your upcoming rookie drafts and Dynasty Drafts, fantasybros.com simulator that's the place to go to get prepared to run those mock drafts to get you ready and dominating all of the upcoming drafts. So as you step back there, Debro, who do you think set a really good first two rounds?

[Scott Bogman]

Two teams jump out to me fill the needs and getting stud players. Denver addressing their offense, getting two really good skilled guys and Washington man like Kenneth Grant falling all the way to 29. I mean Dan Quinn might have a heart attack as they make that pick.

[Derek Brown]

Scott Bogman, how about you? Who's winning the draft here after these two rounds?

[Andrew Erickson]

I think Denver is the answer. You give them a couple of these playmakers and I think just keep building four Bo Nicks. You know, repeatability is tough. We saw it last year with Stroud not having such a great year as his rookie season. So I think keep adding targets and weapons for Bo. Knicks, I think is a very smart way to go about it.

[Derek Brown]

Andrew Erickson, who's winning the draft?

[Debro]

I'm trying to be contrarian here, but you guys got all the good teams and identified it exactly the way it should be. So yeah, I have to agree. The Denver Broncos, they're really setting up Bo Nicks for success.

[Derek Brown]

You could say the Patriots, they got the best player of the draft and a tackle. I mean I know it sounds like a homer thing to say, but bro, if that, if that's the way the first two rounds be a happy boy.

[Debro]

On they didn't get a weapon happen. That's. That's what I'm.

[Scott Bogman]

Can I shout out the Chargers still.

[Andrew Erickson]

On the board here, by the way.

[Derek Brown]

There you go. So maybe where does Bond Chargers are.

[Scott Bogman]

Also crushing this draft getting like a really like a stud corner and another pass catcher for Justin Herbert. Totally on board with that.

I'm Jake Hofer and this is Back 40, a limited series show on Wire to Hunt, part of Meat Eaters Podcast Network. Each episode I'll be asking eight whitetail hunting pros a focused, thought provoking question about hunting and land management. How do I hunt the best part of the farm with less than ideal access?

[Derek Brown]

Should you?

[Andrew Erickson]

That's what the real question is.

[Derek Brown]

Stand without good access is not a good stand.

[Joey P. Zappia]

Season 2 of Good Game with Sarah Spain is underway. We just welcomed one of my favorite people, an incompar soccer icon Megan Rapinoe to the show and we had a blast. Take a listen. Sue and I were like riding the lime bikes the other day and we're like wee people ride bikes because it's fun. We got more incredible guests like Megan in store, plus news of the day and more.

I'm Noah and I'm 13 and I started this podcast. Honestly, adults don't ask the right questions now you know what Noah de Barrasso is a show about influence. Who's got it, how they use it, and what it means for the rest of you. It's not the news. It's what the news should be if someone Gen Z or Gen Alpha made it. Politics is wild, and I'm definitely not here to tame it, but I'm here to make sense of it. Listen to now youw Know with Noah de arrasto on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. This is an iHeart podcast.
