We're here to do a draft, like I said, where that's the wrong button. We're not talking about the Washington Wizards. What am I, Josh?

You are so like, you're a bit rusty.

This is what I wanted to say. It's a mock draft. It's a 12-team, 9-Cat, third round reversal. Got some fantasy analysts in there, got some followers in there as well. When we do the drafts, I got 30 seconds on the clock to keep this thing moving along. I am going to be picking third in this draft.

We'll see how it goes.

This is the first mock draft that I have done.

I have not done a single thing with mock draft drafts all season. So we're going to see how this goes. I'll be making some moves that seem bold at the time as I try to just get a feel for where things are on draft boards and ADPs. And again, I haven't done it. I don't know where people are picking any player. So we'll see how that all goes. We'll get to that in a sec because I'm first one I'm going to tell you the today's episode, he's brought to you by Monarch Money.

we might as well get going with this draft again. There is going to be picks in here that I

don't know how it's going to work.

I don't have a feel for the flow of drafts at this stage. I have done my first passive projections. I've got my list of players in front of me. You can't see it. I've got it in front of me. And there are going to be situations where I'm going either early on someone and I'll tell you why I'm doing that. I'm saying I'm going to make a point of taking someone early because I believe they're being undervalued.
