Big show for you here today. It is our prospect wishcasting episode. Justin Boone and I sit down to hand out some dream and yet somewhat still realistic landing spots for the upcoming rookies. We go through running backs, wide receivers, quarterbacks, tight ends. Where should these guys land? And how good of an outlook would it be if they landed in these particular spots? We only have a few more hours left to do some dreaming, some wishcasting.

So we're going to get into that right now.

All that and more cut up on today's show.

Let's get into it.

Hey. What's going on, everybody? I'm Matt Harmon.

Welcome to the Ahoo Fantasy Forecast, and it is a hell of a day to talk ball.

And joining me to do just that here as we are, we've arrived.

It's draft week. Joining me to talk a little ball. The last time we're going to do it pre-draft, it is our guy, my friend, Justin Boone. Boone, what's going on, buddy? It is exciting that this is the last time we're going to do this pre-draft because I said it last week that I was just ready for the draft and a whole week of smoke screens and let's just say some ridiculous reports have come out, whether that was pushed by front offices or agents or we

see it every year, right? In the lead up to the draft, the last couple weeks, every team is trying

to manipulate the process and they're trying to use the media to do it.

And it's hard to parse through all that stuff and figure out what's real and what's not.

We'll talk a little bit about some of it today. But I'm also excited, Harmon, because I feel like this year more than any other year,

I've tried to like rest on my initial evaluations more because I feel like some of the biggest

mistakes I've made in the past when it comes to like the draft process has been when I've done my evaluation and then you have a few months here and everyone's talking and you kind of see the public perception and it kind of changes and then you go okay maybe I'm wrong I'm really far off on this guy I better move him and you move him and then it ends up being wrong year, I'm trying to lean much more. I've done it the last couple years where I've leaned a little bit more and a little bit more this year. We are big time on those initial valuations. So let's see. I can't wait to find out if that's right, if that's wrong, how that impacts my process. I'm very excited. And honestly, Boone,

I'm excited for this show because, well, for a variety of reasons. One, because it is the final pre-draft show. It's essentially our draft preview show here because the draft is coming up in just a few days. I'm excited for that reason. It's our final pre-draft show. But also, you and I haven't really gotten to talk prospects all that much throughout the process because

Ray Garvin was on the prospect

preview show. Like, I haven't really talked about some of these guys with you since the combine,

which feels like a different lifetime ago at this point because the draft process, as you mentioned,

is so long. We had a whole free agency thing that happened since then. So I'm excited for that. I think this is going to be the first time we've really updated each other on some of our prospect thoughts. So that's good. And essentially what we're going to be doing here today, it's one last round of fan fiction, one last round of wishcasting. Boone and I are going to... Don't call it a mock draft, okay, because it's not. round of wishcasting boone and i are going to don't call it a mock draft

okay because it's not we're wishcasting these prospects to somewhat realistic dream landing spots here

this is a spot where we think they could go it is going to again be somewhat realistic we're not

going to be like all right the seahawks get jeremiah love Whoa, what a wish casting spot. That's not, that's just, that's just nonsense. This would be completely irrelevant. So we're going to try to, again, give our real thoughts about these prospects, and we're going to do that for the running backs, the wide receivers, the quarterbacks, and the tight ends here. We're going to keep it somewhat realistic. As I mentioned, many times. This is our final show before the draft because the draft is on Thursday.
