This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

Hello, everybody.

Welcome into the Fantasy Pro's football podcast.

I'm Ryan warmly joined by a whole lot of people today.

We have Jake Sealy from The Athletic, who's on the show all the time.

We have Alfredo Brown from PretendGM and Reception Perception.

He is on the show, some of the times.

And then we have a newbie Brian Hartman from QB list He is on the show, some of the times. And then we have a newbie

Brian Hartman from QB List first time on the show. So we're running the gamut here. Brian, I'll start with you. Thanks so much for coming on here for your first time. Yeah, thanks so much for having me on here. I'm excited to jump in here. Crush it and, of course, win this mock draft, because, I mean, we're going to see that obviously here early June.

This is a real competition, right?

We all want to come away winning this thing.

It's the four of us, by the way, doing the mock against eight, just kind of computers, mocking through the sort of mock draft lobby that you can find at Fantasy Pros. So we will see how we do not only against each other, but against the computer itself and what our grades look like at the end

of the episode. Alfredo, it's been a minute since I've had you on. How you doing? I know. I know. Thanks for having me back, man. And Brian, just the secret is nobody wins in a mock draft week. We all lose because we're going to do an hour of this and be like, oh, I love this team. And then we don't actually have a league or you hate the team and you're like,

I'm still not good at this.

So yeah,

we're just,

it's four losers. That's what it is. Where are you at Alfredo in your kind of pre-draft process at this stage in the first week of June? Are you feeling like you have a pretty good sense of how you want to approach things like this? Are you still feeling like you're in that experimental phase of like, let me try out new builds and see what I think about them. Where are you kind of at mindset-wise? I think you have to stay a little experimental at this moment because ADP is always changing. It's still so early, man. It's just, I didn't even realize it was June until I looked up at the calendar. But just ADP is going to be changing a lot over the next few weeks, over the next month and a half, two months, whatever it is. And the cool thing right now is I feel like I'm getting a better idea of the offenses because I'm charting quarterbacks for reception perception. I feel like if you, you know the quarterback, you know the passing game, you know the tendencies, you can kind of have a good understanding of how the targets are going to go and how the offense is going to move. So as I'm learning that, then seeing how ADP fluctuates, it's been kind of a cool thing to put together here as we're still a few months out. Jake, I don't need to ask you how you're doing because I talk to you most weeks on the show, but in general, how are you feeling about this mock? I don't feel like that's actually the first super flux one I'm doing. So try it like Alfredo said. And I know Brian, I was like, we want to win. But at the same time, it's kind of a testament more. I think the biggest thing to take away from this is depending on when you draft. So like when we're done with this, if you are drafting the next month or two, we'll probably talk about a lot of the values that might be there. But because we talk so much about these values by the time we get to August, a lot of those values end up going outside the window and then people overdraft because they want to still get those players and not realize how much things have changed. As Freda was saying with the ADP being a big factor of it. Yeah, it's a good point about it being for me too too, I've done a lot of Superflex dynasty, like startup mocks and things like that. I have not done a Superflex redraft mock yet in this kind of draft season. So we'll be kind of interesting to play around with that and see how it comes out. This is Superflex. We have three receivers that we're drafting on each starting team. No kickers and defenses because nobody wants to see us mock draft those.

It is half PPR.

Those are kind of the basic rundown of the settings here.
