What is up? It's the rant. My name is Jeff Rackliff and it is Thursday July 29th.

0:21.6

Man, it's hard to believe August is next week. Fantasy football draft season in full

0:27.5

swing. I have drafts. This is the last weekend. I won't have a draft for a month straight

0:33.7

on Saturdays. And I'll look forward to it, baby. So the draft strategy talk is in full

0:39.5

swing. Yesterday, I broke down five strategy tips. Today, I want to talk about something

0:44.9

that honestly, I wish I knew earlier early on in fantasy football drafts from the late

0:50.4

90s, early 2000s. I had no freaking clue what I was doing. And there was something that

0:55.8

I did. And I'm telling you, I did it annually every stinking draft that I shouldn't have

1:49.3

the entire situation. And the rumblings were that he was a little bit peeved, not necessarily

1:54.7

just about the Jordan love thing. I think he was caught off guard is as he sort of said

1:59.1

about that. But that he had almost no say in the personnel decisions. And from his, from

2:07.0

his mindset, he felt like he deserved to see to that table. And ultimately, it looks

2:11.7

like the packers are giving him at least somewhat of a seat at the table. They acquired Randall
