The show you have been waiting for.

We hear about it constantly.

It's here predicting the 2025 first and second rounds. For redraft,

we also are going to throw in a little bit of an extra fun exercise this year in Superflex

at the end. That's what we're talking about today on stealing bananas. I'm Ben Gretch.

You can find the newsletter at Ben Gretch.substack.com with me, as always is Sean Siegel.

You can find all of his great work at Rodeviz.

And as always, we always talk through this for anyone who doesn't remember.

We're predicting 12 months in advance what the first round and second round are going to look like

next year obviously this exercise is meant to help us understand the fragile profiles the profiles we

expect to break out some of those things and it really tests your expectations for what the hits

can look like in year one we always like to do this as a tight end premium format um so we mix in you know know, some of the elite tight ends. And then we decided to add super flux this year so we can talk about some of the quarterbacks that we think are going to be at the top of that position as well by this time next year. But it's all a look ahead. And I was just saying to you, Sean, and then I was like, screw it. We just need to start the show because I want to say to the listeners and then I was like screw it we just need to start the

show because I want to say to the listeners too I'm literally for the first time we just

threw everything in the same spreadsheet and then click record I'm seeing yours for the first time

and I said I love that I'm always that I get to do this with you and yours are always so much more

fun than mine and so I mean it's great for me because I can take some pretty firm stances and I don't look like the zealot at all. Like you're definitely going to be even further than me. I don't have to be boring. But if I did this with somebody else, I would look like a zealot and you're even even more so. But, Sean, this year, more than any year that we've ever done this, and we've done it for maybe four years now, I want to say, was the hardest one for me. It's a really tricky year. We know that there's a pretty firm top 12 in redraft this year. And there's no real profiles there that are like, we're out on. Like a few years ago, it was like oh we can just take derrick henry out of our

our next year's rankings or whatever it is some aging running back there's a couple guys at

the back end of that that are obviously banged up right now puk and akua jimir gibbs but they still

factor into this question for next year and then that second round which we've talked about a ton

is a really long and wide tier and there's a lot of names there that I wanted to be able to include in addition to the,

you know,

not to spoiler alert,
